DESCRIPTION:The November 1938 pogroms launched against Jews in Third Reich
  (also known as Kristallnacht) included mass arrests of Jewish men\, swell
 ing the populations in concentration camps. In the Buchenwald camp\, the r
 apid influx of nearly 10\,000 persons\, intentional overcrowding in segreg
 ated barracks\, and the long-standing lack of adequate water and sewage in
 frastructure led to an outbreak of typhoid fever—a water-borne disease t
 hat flourishes in these conditions. Thousands were sickened\, and hundreds
  of prisoners in Buchenwald died in just a few months.In this webinar\, Dr
 . Emily Gioielli will examine this epidemic and its context within the top
 ography and water infrastructures at Buchenwald using a socio-environmenta
 l approach. She will also explore how we can gain new insights — for bot
 h environmental history/humanities and Holocaust history/studies — by co
 nsidering the links between the environment and mass violence during the H
 olocaust.This event is free and open to the everyone but registration is r
