Three KNHG grants for young historians

The KNHG has awarded three grants to young historians who recently took their PhDs or are on the verge of doing so. The purpose of the grants is to enable them to write a scholarly article based on their dissertation or sections of it for publication in the BMGN – Low Countries Historical Review.

The jury, comprising KNHG-chair Henk te Velde and BMGN executive editor Dirk Jan Wolffram, selected the submissions by Laurien Vastenhout (UvA and NIOD), Nathan van Kleij (UL and UvA) and Lauren Lauret (UL). Congratulations!

Laurien Vastenhout, who works at the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies and for the University of Amsterdam (UvA), will be writing the article “Insiders or Outcasts? Foreigners in the ‘Jewish Councils’ of Western Europe during the Second World War”.
