The Holocaust Migration Regime: From Past to Present
Funding: Alfred Landecker Foundation
Duration: February 2021 to January 2026
Project Lead: Dr. Sebastian Musch
The research project ‘The Holocaust Migration Regime: From Past to Present’ examines how global migration in the immediate post-war period, during the Cold War and against the backdrop of the European border regime since the 1990s has been shaped by institutions, concepts and actors that emerged in response to the Holocaust. What genealogical lines can be drawn and what breaks are apparent? What are the after-effects of the Holocaust migration regime in attempts to understand and regulate flight and mobility from the Second World War to the present day?
