Through reconstruction of the works and lives of Emmy and Roman Rosdolsky, their political formations amongst early 20th century's Galician radical youth and Red Vienna intellectuals, and their intense debates with important Marxist thinkers, we aim to a) keep memories of the revolutionary labor movement alive, and b) emphasize the ongoing relevance of Historical Materialism in the 21st century.

This section deals with Roman Rosdolsky's contributions to Economic Theory.

This section deals with Emmy and Roman Rosdolsky's contributions to the Social History of Austria, Hungary, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine.

Emily Rosdolsky, née Meder (born June 2, 1911 in Vienna; died September 3, 2001 there) was an Austrian Marxist, active anti-fascist, trade union and women's rights activist.

Roman Rosdolsky (Ukrainian Роман Осипович Роздольський, Roman Ossypowytsch Rosdolskyj, scientific transliteration Roman Osipovič Rozdolʹsʹkij; Polish Roman Rózdolski; Russian Роман Осипович Роздольский; born July 19, 1898 in Lemberg, Austria-Hungary; died October 20, 1967 in Detroit) Doctor of Political Science (Dr. rer. Pol./PhD), was an Old-Austrian Sociologist or social historian, Marxist economist and political activist of Ukrainian ethnicity. From December 1942 until the liberation in May 1945 he was interned by the Nazi regime in a Gestapo prison in Krakow and in the concentration camps Auschwitz II-Birkenau, Ravensbrück and Sachsenhausen-Oranienburg.

The website has been initiated in July 2017 by an introductory slideshow about the research trip to Amsterdam in 2015, the biography published in German in May 2017, and our project goals. In summer 2018 we organized an exhibition of letters on the occasion of Roman Rosdolsky's 120th birthday, digitally accompanied by the third slideshow listed below. The fourth slideshow was created at the end of exhibition on the occasion of Emmy Rosdolsky's 17th anniversary of death (September 2001).
