Aron-Samuel LUKMANSKI (1889-1942?), Frieda LUBINSTEIN (1888-1942?), Claire LUKMANSKI (1912-2007), Henri LUKMANSKI (1915-1940), Jeanne LUKMANSKI (1921-1942?)

The Lukmanski-Lubinstein family came from Belarus. After a pogrom, they fled to Lorraine and, after a brief detour in Catalonia, arrived in 1921 via Lorraine to Esch/Alzette in the industrial south of Luxembourg, where Aron Lukmanski and Frieda Lubinstein opened a painters' supplies store. His son Henri worked in the store and was a musician. His daughter Jeanne was a helper at a barber shop in Esch. Clara married a Frenchman in 1936 and moved to the neighboring French border town of Audun-le-Tiche. She was the only member of the family to survive the war.

Zur Transformation ökologischer Beziehungen: Manifest für Bildungsgeschichte nach COVID-19

Zur Transformation ökologischer Beziehungen: Manifest für Bildungsgeschichte nach COVID-19

Dieser Beitrag richtet sich auf die Fotografie als aktive Intervention innerhalb einer geschädigten oder gefährdeten Umwelt und bedient sich dieses Mediums, um neue Perspektiven der Bildungsgeschichte – in Bezug auf die bereits geschriebene und die zukünftige – zu entwickeln. Diese Perspektiven werden besonders deutlich, wenn sie vor dem Hintergrund gegenwärtiger Debatten zu Fragen der planetarischen Verantwortung und einer geteilten Welt entwickelt werden, die auch unsere Vorstellungen von Erziehung und Bildung prägen.

Une histoire orale du Minett

Une histoire orale du Minett

The "Minett" region in southern Luxembourg was the industrial heartland of the country. The mines and blast furnaces, most of which have now disappeared, once dominated the landscape. Luciano Pagliarini's collection of interviews constitutes a unique corpus of audio testimonies that allow us to discover the local history and the daily experiences of the inhabitants of that time.

Future Pasts: Web Archives and Public History as Challenges for Historians of Education in Times of COVID-19

Future Pasts: Web Archives and Public History as Challenges for Historians of Education in Times of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only sparked a renewed interest in history; it has also focused our attention on how the present can be historically preserved. Therefore, it is safe to predict that the COVID-19 crisis and its documentation will be analyzed by future historians, and it will bring about methodological and technological changes that affect our ways of working as historians of education. This chapter will examine the following: First, it looks at some basic characteristics of web archives and how they challenge our work as historians.

White Paper of the ModelSEN Workshop (April 2022)

White Paper of the ModelSEN Workshop (April 2022)

In April 2022, scholars from a variety of different disciplines and training met in Berlin for a workshop on historical networks organized by ModelSEN. This workshop brought together scholars, who have a joint interest in approaches drawn from multi-layer net- work analysis to investigate historical processes that involve layers of different kinds and include both social and epistemic components. This paper summarizes the outcomes and is intended to serve as a starting point for further discussions and the strengthening of a community in Historical Network Research.

Zuhause mit Ketty und Catherine

Zuhause mit Ketty und Catherine

Based on original sources, this radio play is a recreation of a 1950s women’s radio show which offers us a glimpse into some of the typical issues facing women at the time. Our two presenters, Ketty and Catherine, comment on social and political themes mentioned in letters from female listeners living in the Minett. These themes include the call for pacifism during the Cold War as well as the lack of playgrounds for children in Esch. Our duo also offer some advice on culinary matters and household chores.

DeXTER: A post-authentic approach to heritage visualisation

DeXTER: A post-authentic approach to heritage visualisation

Cultural heritage institutions and academics are resorting more and more to visual representations of cultural heritage material as a way to enhance access to collections for users’ appreciation and research purposes (Windhager et al., 2019). However, scholars have pointed out (Drucker, 2011; 2013; 2014; 2020; Windhager et al., 2019) how a critical approach to visualisation is still largely missing and how on the whole, user-interface (UI) design still shows a functional and task-driven approach, oriented towards

Men with cameras

Men with cameras

Despite the fact that photography in the Minett had been very popular since the early 1900s, working men with cameras used it to perfect their technique rather than as means of activism or social impact. Towards the 1980s, however, this began to change. Two cases of such transformation are the Fotoclub Diddeleng in the industrial town of Dudelange and the Fotokollektiv Schluechthaus in Esch-sur-Alzette.

Identity disputes

Identity disputes

"Liewen am Minett" was a government photo project meant to document the people and life of the changing, declining Minett of the 1980s. However, the very workers publicly disagreed with the ways they have been portrayed. Together with the photographers from the publication, discover more about this dispute and join the discussion about the (visual) identity of the region and its people.

“Italy, for example, is just incredibly stupid now”. European crisis narrations in relation to Italy’s response to COVID-19

Crisis narratives shape public understanding and, consequently, the response to the crisis itself. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, when in February 2020 Italy was experiencing more cases than any other country, the Italian response to the crisis originated debates over how to best respond to the outbreak.

Digital Hermeneutics: The Reflexive Turn in Digital Public History?

Digital Hermeneutics: The Reflexive Turn in Digital Public History?

The digital – be it in forms of data, infrastructures, or tools – interferes atall levels in the practice of doing public history. This chapter argues that digitalpublic historians have to reflect more deeply on the epistemological consequencesof their digital practices. It proposes the concept of “digital hermeneutics” as a conceptual framework for this reflection. As a “hermeneutics of in-betweenness,” digital hermeneutics investigates the trading zone of digital public history where new digital methods and approaches meet disciplinary traditions and epistemic cultures of history.
