This social media format has enabled influencers to assume the role of popular historian, endowing their trips with a sense of moral responsibility.

Additionally, mechanisms of self-promotion and the fate of official narratives of commemoration in an era of user-generated content are of interest.

Jewish youth groups utilized the subterranean dimension in these ghettos for rescue, storage, arms collection, and hiding. Most of these groups failed to utilize the underground spaces effectively in military terms. The complicated relations among the Jewish youth groups, the larger ghetto communities, and the ghetto administration further hindered effective resistance efforts. Employing geographical tools this article analyzes the activity of the Jewish resisters during the liquidation of the Będzin and Sosnowiec ghettos, and locates most of the resisters’ hideouts.","PeriodicalId":36890,"journal":{"name":"Holocaust Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"66 - 115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49367109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first part analyses how the persecution and annihilation of Jews by the Nazis is presented in history curricula and textbooks. The second part explores discourses within different extracurricular activities such as students’ research projects, school museums, and commemorative ceremonies. The article argues that the narrative of the Holocaust is often incomplete because it doesn’t fit into the ‘master narrative’ of the Great Patriotic War.","PeriodicalId":36890,"journal":{"name":"Holocaust Studies","volume":"29 1","pages":"39 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48440844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
