Die Sommerakademie ist ein auf intensiven Austausch setzendes Format, in dessen Rahmen in kleineren Gruppen und im Plenum Impulsvorträge über eigene Texte und Zugänge der Teilnehmer:innen, aber auch einschlägige Texte diskutiert werden.
This international workshop will bring together established and emerging scholars to chart the intersection between refugee history and Cold War history. The most well-known connection between these two fields is the figure of the political refugee fleeing from the socialist East to the democratic West. As recent research in both areas has highlighted, however, forced displacement and Cold War competition were global phenomena.
Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Klaus Barbie, and Erich Priebke: These names are exemplary of the Nazi criminals who found refuge in South America after 1945. There, they either remained untroubled or were only made accountable for their crimes many years later.
