  May 10 2021

  Anne van Mourik and Thijs Bouwknegt interview historian Kylie Thomas and journalist Michael Schmidt, discussing forced disappearances under Apartheid South Africa. Michael is the author of Death Flight: Apartheid's secret doctrine of disappearance, which investigates and tells the history of Apartheid’s chilling tactic of throwing people, dead or alive, from airplanes so that their remains cannot be found. A Truth and Reconciliation Commission on human rights violations during the Apartheid years was established in 1995. Kylie Thomas researches and writes about the 2017 reopening of the Apartheid cases. Who exactly were the people who were targeted for ‘disappearance’? And how come cases of activists who were imprisoned, tortured and murdered, are only now being reinvestigated and reopened?

  Apr 01 2021

  War, mass violence and its consequences are not a thing of the past. They are very much present in the world of today and tomorrow. In collaboration with the NIAS, researchers of the NIOD Institute are teaming up with a group of international scholars, in order to develop an innovative and multidisciplinary research agenda in the field of the multiple connections between the topic of ‘war and society’ in the recent past - and in the world of today. In this episode of the podcast Niod Rewind, Anne van Mourik speaks with several of these researchers about this new fellowship program. Why is it so important to investigate the past in light of the present? And how can we connect histories of mass violence with present-day societies? ​ *** The people in this episode: Ismee Tames Sophie de Schaepdrijver Siniša Malešević Avi Sharma Ville Kivimäki ​ This podcast was made with the help of: Bethany Warner and Alex Strete...more

  What kind of knowledge can we gain from WWII games? In episode 12 of Niod Rewind, Anne van Mourik interviews Pieter van den Heede about his dissertation 'Engaging with the Second World War through Digital Gaming', which he defended last February (2021). Pieter studied how digital entertainment games such as Call of Duty represent the war and the Holocaust in particular, and how players reflect on playing these games. To what extent do studios make WWII games according to the last historical insights about how people actually dealt with this mass violence? How is it that some games become political and thereby seem to align with right-wing ideologies?...more

  Apr 14 2020

  In this seventh episode of NIOD REWIND Anne van Mourik and Thijs Bouwknegt interview Prof. dr. Peter Romijn. Peter is head of the Research Department of the NIOD and Professor of Twentieth-Century History at the University of Amsterdam. Recently he published a new book about The Netherlands at war in Europe and Asia, 1940-1950. During the Second World War both the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies (today's Indonesia) were under German and Japanese occupation (1940-1945). After being liberated, the Netherlands engaged in a violent decolonisation war in Indonesia (1945-1950). In his book, Peter, refuses to see the latter war only as an aftermath of the former one; it focuses on the many continuities of a society continuously mobilised for internal conflict and external warfare, trying to come to terms with the profound changes in international relations.

  In episode 6 of NIOD REWIND Anne van Mourik and Thijs  Bouwknegt interview historian Ingrid de Zwarte (Wageningen University).  De Zwarte's research explores the role of food and famine in modern  conflict in the broadest sense: from hunger as a political and military  tool in warfare to social self-organisation in times of hunger, and from  the demographic impact of famine to the effects of hunger on migration  and state formation. Her book “The Hunger Winter. Fighting Famine in the  Occupied Netherlands, 1944-1945” (Cambridge University Press) is  available from August 2020. [hyperlink: www.cambridge.org/nl/academic/subj…441945?format=HB] Together  with M. Corporaal (PI) and L. Jensen, De Zwarte has been awarded a NWO  NWA-ORC Grant for the project Heritages of Hunger: Societal Reflections  on Past European Famines in Education, Commemoration and Musealisation.  Working with famine experts from sixteen countries, it investigates the  past and present significance of European famines in educational  institutions and the heritage sector.

• NIOD REWIND Episode 4 'Negotiating Displacement'

  Feb 13 2020

  In this special edition of NIOD REWIND, Anne van Mourik and Thijs Bouwknegt interview scholars from various backgrounds and disciplines on the topic of Displacement. In December 2019,  the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust, and Genocide Studies organised a conference in collaboration with IMIS University of Osnabrück: ‘Negotiating Displacement: New Perspectives and Connections in War, Migration and Refugee Studies’. The conference aimed at connecting research on war, mass violence and genocide with migration studies in order to deepen the dialogue between two disciplines that often look at similar phenomena but from different viewpoints. The conference’s guiding question was how displacement has been negotiated with regard to trajectories and status by individuals and groups from the First World War to the present in a global perspective. Scholars, journalists and migrants discussed displaced person’s agency, room for maneuver and possibilities for creating their own social and cultural spaces within the limited and often harsh social, economic and political parameters. How can we understand the dynamics surrounding these processes? In this podcast: Anne Irfan Avi Sharma Christoph Rass Eugene Michail Ismee Tames...more
