During the 24th International Conference on the History of Cartography in Moscow in July of this year, our friend Harrie Theunissen from the Netherlands presented a very well received paper on "Topography of Terror: Maps of the Warsaw Ghetto". During this presentation Harrie showed several original maps of the Ghetto that he has collected over the years with his partner John Steegh, illustrated how these maps were used by the German military to systematically surpress the Jewish population and confine them to an always decreasing urban space. For several reasons Harrie decided not to publish his paper in one of the journals of our field. Instead he preferres to present a much enlarged version of his paper (with much more maps) on the web. Those who are interested in the paper (that really shows how much context matters in defining and understanding cartographies of suppression) should follow the accompnying link www.siger.org/warsawghettomaps/ Sincerely Paul van den Brink University of Utrecht The Netherlands_______________________________________________ MapHist: E-mail discussion group on the history of cartography hosted by the Faculty of Geosciences, University of Utrecht.
