In this post we continue our series — ‘Historical Research in the Digital Age’ — which explores historians’ use and understanding of the digital tools and sources that shape modern research culture. The series explores the impact and implications of digital resources (positive and negative) for how historians work today.

Dëse Krich huet kee kloert "Siegesbild" an kee kloert Zil an dofir wäert en och sou laang virugoen, wéi de Putin nach lieft. Dat fäert d'Inna Ganschow. D'Historikerin a Migratiounsfuerscherin vun der Uni Lëtzebuerg war en Donneschdeg de Moien eis Invitée vun der Redaktioun.

This paper will explore a key question for historians today: what are the politics of cultural heritage digitisation and its implications for historical research? What are the benefits and opportunities afforded by digitisation and what challenges arise? How do digital resources shape the historical themes, topics, and debates that can be researched, and how might they influence research agendas more broadly? In what ways can they enable us to ask new research questions or open avenues of inquiry that challenge existing master narratives?

Egberdien van der Peijl presented some artworks based on the ZWANG-proeject photograph sollection of the Ostarbeiters, made on the forced labourer camp sites and or in the steel mills together with DJ Yoni. The musical improvisation together with a theatrically played performance imitated the life of an Ostarbeiter in the gallery's basements. The venue was Fellner Contemporary in the city.

Biography of Emmy Poukh (1933-2023), the wife of the Russian-Orthodox priest Luxembourgs Serge Poukh (1926-2016)

Throughout her academic projects, Dr Ganschow is working on the presence of the so-called Russian diaspora in Luxembourg, i.e. the emigrant population from former Soviet Republics. Her current project deals with Soviet forced labourers during the Second World War and is commissioned by the Luxembourg government. In her work, she decided to compare the situation of these forced labourers, mainly young women coming from Ukraine, with the local population, in the Belval region in the south of Luxembourg.

Tax avoidance has become a hotly discussed topic. These debates have been informed by academic research done by social scientists. Historians, relative latecomers in the field, argue for a greater consideration of the interwar period so as to understand the pathway dependencies of the infrastructures used for tax dodging practices today. This article explores the question of how Luxembourg became, in the 1930s, an important node in the network of legal re-coding of capital for tax shopping purposes.

In the paper by Inna Ganschow, the camp experience in the Soviet Union as a result of forced conscription will be treated, specifically in its artistic processing: secretly written diaries and letters by Luxembourg Wehrmacht soldiers.
