RESISTANCE TO THE CENSORSHIP OF HISTORICAL THOUGHT
IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
Antoon De Baets, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
Abstract—This paper attempts to demonstrate that many historians have resisted the censorship of historical thought, either inside or outside tyrannical regimes, throughout the twentieth century. Those who actively struggled against persecution were either directly threatened and resisted the threat, or less personally involved but fighting for the cause of history, academic freedom and human rights. A third group, frequently in the background, consisted of all the outsiders who attempted to maintain solidarity with their persecuted colleagues. In addition, historians, in a unique professional reflex, are able to supplement contemporary resistance with retroactive resistan-ce. They possess the power to reopen cases and challenge the rulers' amnesia and falsification of history.

FIGHTING OBLIVION:
THE ACTIVITIES OF THE NETWORK OF CONCERNED HISTORIANS
Antoon De Baets, University of Groningen, the Netherlands
The Network of Concerned Historians (NCH) was established at the History Department of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, in October 1995. It serves as a link between concerned historians and the international human-rights movement. NCH seeks to be universal, impartial, and independent. It conducts activities in three fields: action, information, and research, in that order of importance. First, NCH forwards to its participants urgent actions for persecuted and censored historians (and others concerned with the past) issued by international human-rights organizations. Second, it publishes electronic annual reports with history-related news from these organizations and other sources. Third, it collects data on persecuted and censored historians that it forwards to the appropriate human-rights organizations. NCH does not, however, produce action-oriented information itself.
