The portal provides access to sources about the daily life of societies under German occupation during World War II. It particularly focuses on the issue of hunger and scarcity. The portal is designed for a broad audience interested in research, as well as for academic and school teaching. The sources are made available for interactive work as scans of the original documents, in their original language transcriptions, and English translations. This digital source edition builds on the print edition, "Fighting Hunger. Dealing with Shortage," which was published in 2021 and recently awarded (https://rusaupdate.org/awards/best-historical-materials/).
Our project partners will be happy to welcome you on June 28, 2023, at 4:00 p.m. in the Bergisches Zimmer at the University of Wuppertal (see map). The program includes the portal launch, two keynote speeches, and several short workshop reports providing insights into the conception of the portal.
The project team is excited to celebrate the completion of the project and the launch of the portal with you.
