SUMMARY:Our Life Behind Barbed Wire: Photography from Ukrainian Ostarbeiter
 s in Nazi Germany
DESCRIPTION:This talk will open an exhibit at the Fisher Family Commons (FF
 C) Gallery (CGIS Knafel) dedicated to the photography and correspondence o
 f Ukrainian forced laborers (“Ostarbeiters”) in Nazi Germany. These le
 tters and photographs will be discussed as testimonials of everyday life t
 hat formed a comprehensive portrait of exile and rupture\, but also served
  the Nazis’ propaganda purposes by promoting the idea of Nazi “benevol
 ence” and the laborers’ “wellbeing” in Germany. The materials will
  be considered as transmitters of news and secret messages\, and as attemp
 ts to creatively escape totalitarian control. The exhibit will emphasize t
 he historical significance of the firsthand accounts of war powerfully pre
 sent in such correspondence and photography\, and will complement existing
  scholarship\, which typically stands at a distance from the Ostarbeiters
 ’ overall creativity\, as if these captives left no textual or visual tr
 aces.\n\nFollowing the lecture\, guests are invited to view the exhibit an
 d join in a small reception in the CGIS Knafel Cafe.\n\nhttps://daviscente
