“…They are also often characterized by an abstraction resulting from the lack of social frameworks rooted in national cultures (Calligaro & Foret, 2012). For instance, the memory of the Holocaust developed in Western Europe is perceived by particular mnemonic actors in Central and Eastern Europe as forgetting the complexities of interethnic violence in the East (Baker & Sawkins, 2023). At the same time, Western Europeans are wary that Eastern European national governments have a sufficiently critical perspective on their nationalist and anti-Semitic past (van der Poel, 2019; see also Kucia, 2016).…”

The present manuscript examines the way young Europeans represent Europe’s history. A study conducted in 11 European countries (N = 1406 students in social sciences) shows that the characters considered most important in the history of Europe are mostly men linked either to WW2, authoritarianism, or conquests and empires. Although these appear later in the rankings and despite some imbalance between countries, Europe’s history is also associated with religious figures, artists, scientists, and philosophers. These results show that the representations of the history of Europe currently shared by young Europeans correspond, in part, to historical narratives based on a specific set of experiences, events, and values supposedly common to the peoples of Europe that were promoted by European elites throughout the integration process. Further, these results suggest that beyond the negative narrative of war and the crimes of totalitarianism, the history of Europe is also embodied by positive characters transcending national boundaries and associated with a set of key elements of the EU identity: democracy, tolerance, solidarity, humanism, and the Enlightenment. Finally, we also highlight the near-total absence of characters unambiguously related to colonization and, especially, decolonization, and a strong overall under-representation of women.

Reviving and Re-Writing Ethics in Social Research for Commoning the Community

We'll delve into the ethical dimensions of Shoah research across culture, religion, History, and sociopolitics. Through five comprehensive chapters, we'll explore the dynamic evolution of Holocaust axiology, from the reevaluation of Jewish theology to the challenges of hate speech and conventional assumptions. This chapter unravels evolving trends in Holocaust studies such as populism, gender-focused scholarship, and the unexpected emergence of comedy. To conclude we'll reflect on the interconnectedness of historical events and the ethical responsibility inherent in Shoah research, calling for a more decolonialized and relevant approach to Holocaust education.
