History After the Fall - Activities

Our proposition is to conduct a thorough collection-, research- and analytic program, mainly but not exclusively, in the former Communist countries on the following themes:

• The two world wars, their impact, and afterlife;
• The problems of the nation state and "authentic" national history (sovereignty versus foreign occupation, federal states versus national, ethnic self-determination; indigenous aspirations versus dictates of the winners;
• Social welfare system, and public health under totalitarian regimes;
• Comparative approaches in the study of Communism and Fascism.

We will initiate an extensive collection work that will form the material basis of an interpretative exhibition series. On the occasion of the thematic exhibitions, together with our partner institutions, we will offer parallel seminars at different universities, with the participation of faculty and students from different countries, who would collaborate with each other. Regular workshops would accompany the other activities, and the CEU Press is ready to publish a new series.
