Conference description:

This conference seeks to explore and re-evaluate the complex history of Jews in Eastern, East Central and Southeastern Europe from 1985 to 1995 – a period marked by significant political, social, ideological, and cultural shifts, as well as war, violence, and population movements. By focusing on Jewish actors and communities in the crucial years of post-socialist transition, our conference will shed new light on the experiences, challenges, and transformation of Jewish lives in the region.
