Après l’exode massif du début de l’année 1939 qui mène vers la France plusieurs centaines de milliers de républicains espagnols, ces derniers connaissent tout au long de la Seconde Guerre mondiale des itinéraires marqués par le travail – souvent forcé –, par des engagements militaires et par diverses formes de résistances contre l’occupant de leur pays d’exil. Ils sont prestataires de l’armée française ou soldats incorporés dans des unités étrangères de celle-ci.
Since its establishment as an academic research field in the U.S. in the late 1970s, public history has grown significantly, serving as a vital tool for examining contemporary issues, community memories, and conflicts at both scholarly and practical levels. In the 21st century, the field has become a prominent platform for “making history with the public(s)”, moving beyond the confines of academia. Despite its popularity, comprehensively defining public history without oversimplification remains challenging.

This edited volume seeks to situate antisemitism within Soviet society and the Soviet system by defining its characteristics and showing how antisemitism intersected with repression of non-Jewish groups. To complicate the more established history of Soviet antisemitism from above, we wish to elucidate the everyday lives of ordinary Jews in different regions and eras of the USSR.
