70 Years of Holocaust Compensation and Restitution

On September 10, 1952, historical agreements were signed in Luxembourg between the government of Israel, the Conference on Jewish Materials Claims Against Germany, and the government of West Germany regarding the provision of reparations and compensations. To mark the event and within the framework of an international conference on the topic “70 Years of Holocaust Compensation and Restitution”, the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany will provide five fellowships of $5,000 each to outstanding doctoral and post-doctoral scholars whose research deals with topics relating to the agreement and its various past and present implications, such as social, diplomatic, legal, and economic aspects. The conference will be organized jointly by the Goldstein-Goren Diaspora Research Center at Tel Aviv University, the Claims Conference, and Yad Vashem, in cooperation with a number of additional institutions, and will be held at Tel Aviv University on November 14–16, 2022. Kindly view the official Call for Papers for further details on the event.

Projects should involve approximately a one-year study, including presentation of a paper at the conference, and submission of an article in English based upon the research. In addition, Fellows will be invited to take part in a research group that will hold monthly online seminars organized by the Leo Baeck Institute, the Jacob Robinson Institute for the History of Individual and Collective Rights, and the Minerva Center for Human Rights as well as any related academic events on the topic.

The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany will provide five fellowships of $5,000 each to outstanding doctoral and post-doctoral scholars whose research deals with topics relating to the agreement. Scholars who wish to submit proposals to the steering committee are invited to read the full requirements and conditions in the Call for Applications for Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Fellowships and submit their proposals by November 30, 2021.
