S: I. M. O. N.

Aims & Scope

S:I.M.O.N. aims at both a transnational and comparative history of the Holocaust and Jewish studies in Central and Eastern Europe within the broader contexts of the European history of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including its antecedents, consequences, and legacies as well as the history of memory. S:I.M.O.N. serves as a forum for discussion of various methodological approaches. The journal especially wishes to strengthen the exchange between researchers from different scholarly communities and to integrate both Jewish history and the history of the Holocaust in different ‘national’ narratives. It also places a special emphasis on memory studies and the analysis of politics of memory. In its articles section, the journal uses a single-blind review system, which means that the reviewer’s identity remains concealed to the author throughout the review process. Shoah. The journal deals with the history of the Shoah from multidisciplinary, transnational, and comparative perspectives. It seeks to integrate studies on Jews as well as on other groups of victims of the Holocaust, especially on Roma, and of hitherto less researched regions of (East) Central and (South) Eastern Europe. Intervention. The journal reports on research projects and their transmission in public events. It also informs about current educational and remembrance programmes. Methods. The journal serves as a forum for the discussion of methodological approaches as, for instance, the everyday history, oral history, gender history, the history of violence, antisemitism, and racism, and the theory of memory and memory politics. DocumentatiON. The journal contributes to critical approaches on using and interpreting archival materials in the twenty-first century.
