Introduction by Sarah B. Snyder, American University

I am pleased to introduce this H-Diplo/ISSF roundtable on Emma Kuby’s book Political Survivors: The Resistance, the Cold War, and the Fight against Concentration Camps after 1945, an intellectual history of the rise and fall of the International Commission against the Concentration Camp Regime (CICRC). It is also a transnational history based on archival research in at least six countries—Belgium, Spain, Paris, the United States, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. As the reviews suggest, Kuby has written a book that speaks to many fields and indeed many disciplines. Umberto Tulli praises Kuby’s “originality,” her “masterly” efforts to analyze the CICRC’s history “through different lenses,” and the “richness” of her account. In his view, Political Survivors is a “remarkable achievement” that contributes to our understanding of, among other things, the public memory of World War Two. Regarding that same dimension, Padraic Kenney characterizes Kuby’s work as “excellent.” More broadly, Kenney suggests that Kuby has, perhaps, undersold her findings. Lora Wildenthal argues that the book is “worthy of a broad audience,” and she praises Kuby for the balance she strikes between broad themes and fine detail.

    • Dr. Hobson Wildenthal joined UT Dallas as vice president for academic affairs in 1992. During his career at the University, he also served as provost, executive vice president, interim president, professor of physics and distinguished scholar in residence.

    Nearly 30 years ago, Dr. Hobson Wildenthal stepped onto The University of Texas at Dallas campus as the chief academic officer for the University. His influence over the next three decades would affect every aspect of the institution — from the sciences to the arts, from business affairs to campus architecture and landscaping, to the recruitment of high-achieving scholars who define the University. His death on Sept. 4 at the age of 83 leaves UT Dallas without the steady hand and quiet wisdom that guided UT Dallas on its transformation into one of the nation’s premier institutions.

    Renowned for his work in theoretical nuclear physics, Wildenthal has had many titles at UT Dallas through the years — vice president, provost, executive vice president, interim president — but the last two years his role as professor of physics and distinguished scholar in residence served him well as he spent time overseeing the writing of a history book on the first 50 years of UT Dallas.

    “Dr. Hobson Wildenthal’s name is synonymous with that of UT Dallas,” said UT Dallas President Richard C. Benson, the Eugene McDermott Distinguished University Chair of Leadership. “His work, in great part, built the University into what it is today. He was a tireless advocate who was determined in his efforts to elevate the institution’s reputation and recruit top faculty, staff and students. His leadership helped build a well-rounded university with academic rigor at its core.”

    In 2016, Dr. Hobson Wildenthal (right) celebrated the opening of the Bioengineering and Sciences Building with Dr. David E. Daniel (left) and UT Dallas President Richard C. Benson. Wildenthal played a pivotal role in creating new academic programs, departments and
