Zum internationalen Holocaust-Gedenktag am 27. Januar 2011 ging das Fotoarchiv der israelischen Gedenkstätte Yad Vashem ins Netz. Insgesamt wurden bisher etwa 150.000 Fotos digitalisiert und auf der Website zugänglich gemacht. Das Projekt basiert auf einer Kooperation mit Google. Die enorme Materialfülle eröffnet den Besuchern die Möglichkeit, neben „Ikonen der Vernichtung“ selbst neue „Bilderwelten“ aufzutun – zugleich ist das Projekt nicht frei von Startschwierigkeiten.
“Security” is such a general concept that, on the one hand, it is omnipresent in all fields of historical research; on the other hand, a closer look reveals that there seems not to exist a real specialized sub-discipline or field that bears this title. While in political sciences, criminology, sociology and jurisprudence, and especially in the field of international relations, security studies is a well established and broad field of research, history has not yet established a corresponding field. This special issue about “Security and Epochal Frontiers” shows that important contemporaneous changes in concept and practices of “security production” after the end of the Cold War (the emergence of “extended, comprehensive, human security”, the fading away of the border between internal and external security) have caused our historical perception of “security” to change massively and historiography to respond to this challenge.
