On 16 and 17 May 2022, the second Doctoral Students' Forum, organised by the Doctoral Students' College of the Hannah Arendt Institute (HAIT), took place.
Under the title "Individual and Organisation in Authoritarian and Democratic Social Systems", numerous young academics came together at the Bautzener Straße Memorial in Dresden. The main focus was on questions about the individual scope for action of actors in the field of tension between organisations in dictatorships, as well as biographical continuities and discontinuities across the historical ruptures and transformations of political orders. Sarah Maya Vercruysse, working at the WARLUX project writes about her research. She writes about the Luxembourgish Wehrmacht recruits during the National Socialist occupation and the influence of local authorities and National Socialist organisations on their everyday lives: https://haitblog.hypotheses.org/3525.
