Tweeted @TimothyDSnyder's NYT piece earlier today. Now getting ready to hear him speak: big excited audience. #LSESnyder
Time to hear Professor Snyder at #LSESnyder on the Shoah.- Anne Applebaum introduced Timothy Snyder
IDEAS Philippe Roman Chairs Timothy Snyder & Anne Applebaum at tonight's #LSESnyder event pic.twitter.com/uvGaCcnR3I- He started his lecture by emphasising the importance of the Holocaust as history, that memory was necessary but not sufficient.
Full house at #LSESnyder. Sorry to those who did not get in. Watch out for the podcast. pic.twitter.com/k7rTv9u5Dt- Importance of attempt to separate memory from history: atrocities like Babi Yar have to be both remembered & understood #LSESnyder
- Auschwitz was not apogee of technology, says @TimothyDSnyder. Hitler was actually radical denier of science. #LSESnyder
- Snyder spoke about Hitler's concept of 'lebensraum' as encompassing survival and prosperity.
#lsesnyder Snyder on double insatiability of lebensraum - struggle is forever b/c both needed & desired. #BlackEarth- For Hitler, Ukraine was center of his vision for Europe - territor that had to be seized for Germany to seize needed Lebensraum #LSESnyder
Being prosperous and being secure = Holocaust "Black earth the Holocaust as history and warning" #LSESnyder- #lsesnyder 1933/34 - concentration camps = laboratories in lawlessness, creating models wh cd later be applied to other countries.
- Vital to Synder's argument was that the destruction of states enabled the Holocaust
Snyder talks about how destruction of states enabled the Holocaust by creating stateless people. "Passports stopped bullets" #LSESnyder- 97 percent of Jews killed in Holocaust lived outside borders of Germany - so vital to consider role of other states #LSESnyder
