            National Socialist Ethnicity and Citizenship Policy under Growing Military Pressure in Occupied Luxembourg (1940–1944)

            National Socialist Ethnicity and Citizenship Policy under Growing Military Pressure in Occupied Luxembourg (1940–1944)

            This paper attempts to analyse some aspects of the Nazi ethnicity and citizenship policy using the case study of Luxembourg occupied by Nazi Germany, as well as the underlying practices of exclusion and inclusion. These are studied in connection with the heterogeneity of the population of a country like Luxembourg that has both emigration and immigration, along with the changes of the course of war from 1942 onwards. This is the first scientific paper where the focus is placed specifically on ethnicity and citizenship policy for Luxembourg during the Second World War.

            The Impact of War Experiences in Europe

            During World War II, over half a million men and women under Nazi occupation, who lacked German citizenship, were forcibly conscripted into the German Reichsarbeitsdienst and the Wehrmacht. The Nazis sought to legitimize this conscription by labeling these individuals as “deutsche Volkszugehörige” or “Deutschstämmige,” despite it being a clear violation of international law.

            Is Artificial Intelligence the Future of Collective Memory?

            This Memory Studies Review special issue explores the intricate relationship between artificial intelligence (ai) and collective memory. In the one hand, the emergence of generative ai, exemplified by ChatGPT’s 2022 release, appears to herald a new infrastructure for collective memory. On the other, the memory studies work highlights the limits and the backlashes of this new form of memory in its social dimension. This leads to raise a provocative, open-ended question: Is artificial intelligence the future of collective memory?

            En revenant sur des études de cas appuyées sur de vastes corpus d’archives du web et des réseaux socio-numériques, dédiés d’une part à la viralité en ligne et d’autre part à la crise de la COVID-19, il s’agira d’interroger la manière dont les archives du web, croisées à d’autres sources, peuvent permettre de reconstruire des cultures numériques et leur évolution ou/et d’informer des phénomènes contemporains. Nous présenterons les atouts et limites de la lecture proche et distante de tels corpus composites et parfois transnationaux.

            Forced Labourers from the East

            During the Second World War, several thousand people from the Soviet Union and occupied Poland were brought to Luxembourg during its occupation by Nazi Germany. Once there, they were expected to satisfy the demand for labour in industries that were important to the war effort, as many of Luxembourg’s workers had been drafted into the German army and the need for steel production was higher than usual as a result of the war.

            Women from all horizons played a crucial role in the post-war European project, including democratic transitions in Central and Eastern Europe and EU Eastern enlargement. However, their impact remained under-explored, even if recent shifts in historical practice have led to a reinsertion of women in a wide-range of disciplines.

            In the process towards European economic and monetary union, two reports played crucial roles. The 1970 Werner Report argued for both a supranational monetary pillar and a supranational economic pillar, while the 1989 Delors Report focused on the monetary pillar, and there was scepticism about discretionary fiscal policy.

            On 1 May 2004, with the accession of 10 candidate countries (Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia), the European Union (EU) not only marked the biggest enlargement in its history, but also opened up for the first time to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which had embarked on the transition to freedom, democracy and a market economy after long decades of communist and dictatorial regimes. On 26 April 2005, Bulgaria and Romania have also been included in this process.

            Towards Responsible Narratives in a More-than-Human World: Re-Storying Histories of Education

            When futures are disconnected from the past due to disaster and disruption, how do we study and story educational histories and to what ends? The role of education as a motor of technological progress facilitating imagined human sovereignty seems to have lost its persuasive power in creating better futures for all. Therefore, this Special Issue asks historians of education to acknowledge non-Western and Indigenous knowledge paradigms, education systems, and perspectives that have sustained peaceful and healthy ecological systems for millennia.
