The FCT has approved funding for the exploratory project IPHAS — The Press, the Holocaust and Antisemitism in the Iberian Media Landscape (1933-1946), coordinated by Cláudia Ninhos, thus ensuring the continuity of her studies on the Holocaust.
The aim of the project is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of journalistic coverage of the Holocaust in Portugal and Spain from a transnational and comparative perspective. It covers the period between 1933 (Hitler’s rise to power) and 1946 (end of the Nuremberg Trials). In this way, it aims to understand the level of information that Portuguese and Spanish citizens had, as well as the positions of Iberian journalists regarding the Nazi persecution of Jews and the Holocaust.
In addition to Cláudia Ninhos, the multidisciplinary project team includes: Ansgar Schaefer (also from the IHC), Celiana Azevedo (ICNOVA), Fernando Clara (IELT — NOVA FCSH), Marta Simó (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), Paula Ochôa (CHAM — NOVA FCSH), and Santiago López Rodríguez (Uppsala Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies). Giuseppe Motta (Università La Sapienza di Roma) and Martina Bitunjac (Moses Mendelssohn Centre for European-Jewish Studies) are the project consultants.
With a budget of around €60,000, the project will run for 18 months.
