This yearbook, edited by Andreas Kranebitter and Christine Schindler, explores the theme of resistance, with a focus on historical and contemporary dimensions of resistance against oppressive regimes, particularly within the context of Austrian history during and after the Nazi era. It documents and analyzes acts of opposition, persecution, and non-conformity, emphasizing the complexities and diversity of resistance movements. The work is grounded in the activities of the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW), founded in 1963, and highlights its role in preserving and researching historical resistance acts. The book includes scholarly contributions that delve into individual and collective resistance, oral histories, Holocaust memory, and the challenges of documenting marginalized voices. Intended for historians, researchers, and those interested in social justice, it serves as both a historical record and a call for ongoing critical engagement with the past. |
