Geographies of the Holocaust
Friday, February 19, 2010
Geographies of the Holocaust
Anne K. Knowles, Middlebury College
3:30-5:00 PM, Waterman Memorial Lounge (Room 338), University of Vermont
This presentation will describe a series of prototype projects that are
assessing the potential for applying geographic methods to studying the
Holocaust, particularly GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and
geovisualization. Two projects will be highlighted: exploratory mapping
of the Nazi concentration camp system, focusing on the historical
geography of the system's creation and the deployment of labor at
subcamps; and the use of visual analysis to interrogate the spaces of
Auschwitz. These methodological experiments are laying the groundwork
for what the participating scholars and students hope will be a new
research agenda in Holocaust Studies, Geography, and the history of
World War II.
Anne Kelly Knowles is Associate Professor of Geography at Middlebury
College. Previous teaching positions include the University of Wales,
Aberystwyth; Wellesley College; and George Washington University.
