This centenary conference invites papers from a variety of disciplines that explore the development of Mennonite life on the Canadian prairies, the factors that drove emigration from Canada in 1922, the establishment and evolution of Mennonite communities in Mexico and Paraguay, and the subsequent migration of Mennonites from Mexico to other regions of Latin America. We also welcome submissions that offer comparative examples and/or situate Low German Mennonites within national and regional contexts.

Past Events

A Virtual Roundtable: MCC, Refugees and the Legacies of National Socialism.November 4, 2021, 2:30-3:45 pm CDT.

Sponsored by Centre for Transnational Mennonite Studies (University of Winnipeg), MCC Canada, and MCC U.S.

Recent scholarship has given renewed attention to Mennonite entanglements with National Socialism before, during and after the Second World War. This scholarship has highlighted the roles played by Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) — a worldwide ministry of Anabaptist churches. Aspecial fall 2021 issue of MCC’sIntersectionsexplores these different dimensions including MCC’s interactions with the German Nazi government in the 1930s and early 1940s; its response to the German nationalist movement in the Mennonite colony of Fernheim in Paraguay; its humanitarian work in wartime France; and its post-war efforts to help displaced Mennonites from the Soviet Union.

Exploring themes of identity politics, refugee policies, and Holocaust collaboration, this public roundtable will discuss MCC’s post-Second World War work to resettle displaced Mennonites. Presenters will focus on how MCC helped Mennonite refugees narrate their wartime experiences, navigate through the international aid system and ultimately immigrate to Canada, Paraguay and elsewhere.
