Wie heißt es so schön, in eigener Sache: Ich habe gerade die Druchfahnen meines neuen Buches durchgesehen. Es wird Anfang September bei Böhlau erscheinen und stellt den Abschluss meines "Trümmerfrauen"-Projekts dar:

A new article by @tessmegginson.bsky.social shows that these processes of border delimitation were in fact quite involved. Her analysis of the border town Gmünd demonstrates how citizens actively lobbied for their interests and interacted with international boundary commissions in post-WWI Europe.

A popular joke about an imagined inhabitant of #CentralEurope hinges on their ambivalence to the shifting national boundaries around them. Born in Hungary, apprenticed in Czechoslovakia, fought in Hungary, became a Soviet citizen, and settled in Ukraine, all while never leaving their home town.

In their new article for the AHY @eltschiggolo.bsky.social, Lea von der Hude, and Patricia Seifner provide the first in-depth analysis of who conducted this labor, how it was understood, and why it has been such fertile ground for national mythologizing.

The idea of Austrian "Trümmerfrauen" and their sacrifices reconstructing post-WWII Vienna has provided a positive reconstruction myth and opportunities to valorize the suffering of former National Socialists as themselves victimized.
But who actually cleared the rubble from postwar Vienna?
