Our core staff include internationally recognised scholars Dan Stone, Simone Gigliotti, Robert Eaglestone, Barry Langford; previous members of staff include the late David Cesarani amongst others. The Institute promotes a highly active research culture; in the last two years alone, our staff have collectively published over 50 monographs, edited volumes and academic journal articles, as well as regularly contributing to conferences and both national and international media.

The Institute is proud to work with institutions such as The Wiener Holocaust Library, Yad Vashem, the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure on a regular basis.

Academic research and discussion are at the very heart of the Institute; we organise a variety of events including termly research workshops, postgraduate seminars and conferences. Our biennial ten-day residential Summer Institute on the Holocaust and Jewish Civilisation, open to doctoral students and early career researchers, is supported by the Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University, USA, and Pears Foundation. The Institute also benefits from support from the Toni Schiff Memorial Fund, most notably its provision of a Schiff Visiting Professor of Holocaust Studies to deliver public lectures and workshops for students.

Furthermore, every January, we hold the David Cesarani Holocaust Memorial Lecture, an annual public lecture marking Holocaust Memorial Day and honouring our late colleague, who died in October 2015. Recent speakers have included Michael Rothberg, Rachel Seiffert, Shirli Gilbert and Lyndsey Stonebridge.

Members of the Institute hold advisory roles for various bodies in the governmental, cultural heritage and charity sectors, both nationally and internationally. Professor Stone chairs the academic advisory board for the redesigned Holocaust Galleries at Imperial War Museum, London; is a member of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust’s Experts Reference Group; and sits on the UK Oversight Committee of the Arolsen Archives (formerly the International Tracing Service). Professor Eaglestone is a member of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation Academic Advisory Board, whilst Dr Jinks is Chair of Trustees for the Armenian Institute. Dr Dalziel has also been awarded for her voluntary services to the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum.

Our staff are frequently called upon to advise and contribute to the media, including the BBC, Channel 4, The Independent and The Guardian. Professor Eaglestone regularly writes articles and reviews for Times Higher Education, whilst Professor Stone is a frequent contributor to the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right’s blog. In 2019, Institute staff curated the Toni Schiff Documentary Strand at the UK Jewish Film Festival. In recent years, the Holocaust Research Institute has also hosted notable figures such as actor Sir Ben Kingsley and novelist Rachel Seiffert to discuss their life and works.

Royal Holloway is the only university in the UK to run an MA course solely dedicated to the field of Holocaust Studies. It is taught by members of several different Royal Holloway departments and offers a wide interdisciplinary approach to the subject. Our staff also supervise a large number of PhD students, currently working on topics as diverse as atrocity photography, microhistories of the Holocaust, representations of camps in literature and the involvement of Holocaust historians in the courtroom.

Our graduates have gone on to careers in a wide number of fields, such as academia, not-for-profit organisations, curation, education and the civil service. Many continue to publish books and journal articles, whilst others volunteer for organisations such as London's Jewish Museum, the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, the Holocaust Educational Trust and the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. Please contact Dr Simone Gigliotti for all MA Holocaust Studies enquiries and Professor Dan Stone for doctoral programme enquiries.

We research in a range of disciplines, including all aspects of the history of Nazism, the persecution and mass murder of the Jews and other victims of Nazi racial-biological policies, as well as responses to Nazism; refugee studies; Holocaust-related literary and cultural studies, media studies and philosophy; and comparative genocide. We welcome graduates in any of these areas, especially students with interdisciplinary projects or with projects that engage with other genocides.

We were shocked and saddened by the death of Professor David Cesarani in October 2015, aged just 58. Professor Cesarani was an integral part of the Holocaust Research Institute and its activity, establishing connections with and obtaining sponsorship from organisations and institutions across the world.

Professor Cesarani was a pioneering historian and one of the world's leading experts on Jewish history, particularly regarding the history of the Holocaust. He wrote several books, including The Jewish Chronicle and Anglo-Jewry, 1841-1991 (1991); Eichmann: His Life and Crimes (2004); and Major Farran's Hat: Murder, Scandal and Britain's War Against Jewish Terrorism (2009). His final work, Final Solution: The Fate of the Jews 1933-1949, was published in January 2016.

Professor Cesarani also played a key role in Holocaust education and remembrance in the UK. He was a member of the Home Office Holocaust Memorial Day Strategic Group, which saw the creation of a national Holocaust Memorial Day. He wrote a number of educational resources for use in schools and teacher training, and made frequent appearances on television and radio. In 2005, Professor Cesarani was awarded an OBE for services to Holocaust education.

Our thoughts remain with his wife, Dawn, and his two children, Daniel and Hannah. He will be greatly missed by all of us at the Holocaust Research Institute. May he rest in peace.

She has also held temporary positions at the University of Melbourne, and the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, and received fellowships from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. Having written on a broad range of topics, her prevalent focus remains unearthing and analysing the victim and survivor experience in oral, written, visual and geographical accounts, and exploring how these accounts often intersect with, and differ from, perpetrator, humanitarian, and other witnessing perspectives. Her research has included studies of Jewish transmigration in the Asia-Pacific and Caribbean regions, and more recently, studies of inter-faith humanitarian relief across South-East Asia in post-conflict settings. She is the co-editor of two recent publications, A Companion to the Holocaust (Wiley, 2020) and The Holocaust in the 21st Century: Relevance and Challenges in the Digital Age (Lessons & Legacies, Volume XIV, Northwestern University Press, 2021). She is currently finalising a monograph about visual representations of Jewish refugees and displaced persons from Nazi-era to post-war Europe (On the Trail of the Homeseeker: The Holocaust and the Cinema of the Displaced), and developing new research projects on the displacement cartographies of survivors of conflict, and the Holocaust's maritime history, geography, and relief networks.

Before joining Royal Holloway, Becky Jinks worked at the University of East Anglia and the University of Exeter. Dr Jinks’ first study, Representing Genocide: The Holocaust as Paradigm? (Bloomsbury, 2016) critically compares representations of genocide in film, literature, photography and memorialisation in order to explore how the representation of the Holocaust has influenced and shaped – or otherwise – the representation of other genocides. More recent and forthcoming work focuses mostly on modern Europe and its borderlands, for example Becky is completing a study of humanitarian relief, gender, and photography after the Armenian genocide, and also currently working on a social history of humanitarianism in Europe immediately following the First World War. Future research projects include a study of urban violence during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s.

The way in which the Holocaust has incrementally assumed the status of what James defines as foundational memory, and has been appropriated and used as a means of articulating the inconceivable. James' work concerns both historical and political writing and fictional representations. As his thesis title suggests, James focuses particularly on the way in which the collective memory of the Holocaust - in all its forms - was mobilised directly and indirectly to anticipate and imagine the concept of nuclear war during the Cold War.
