Organized by Prof. Iris Nachum (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Prof. Gideon Reuveni (University of Sussex), and Prof. Daniel Siemens (Newcastle University), this forward-thinking research group conference is poised to illuminate the multifaceted realm of reparations in the aftermath of the Holocaust within a global context.

In a world grappling with the legacy of historical injustices, the question of how to address past wrongs looms large. Victims of historical harm, alongside their descendants, often seek both material and symbolic redress, alongside the opportunity to shape contemporary narratives around these traumatic events. The pursuit of reparations for historical wrongs has assumed a critical role on the political and historical stage, often giving rise to spirited debates and divergent opinions regarding the very essence and impact of reparatory actions.

This Research Group Conference aims to stimulate meaningful dialogues and contribute to the development of a fresh conceptual framework for comprehending the intricacies of compensation and reconciliation in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
