Abstract

Parmi la sinistre liste des camps de concentration mis en place par le régime nazi, celui de Ravensbrück est le seul à avoir été créé spécifiquement pour les femmes. Dès lors, aborder l’histoire du camp et des déportées, c’est aussi et surtout donner aux combats individuels et collectifs menés par ces femmes durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale la place et la visibilité qu’ils méritent. C’est en partie à cette tâche indispensable que s’est attelée Claire Pahaut dans le cadre d’un ouvrage atypique, mais combien nécessaire, entre histoire et mémoire. Grâce à son abnégation et au travail de bénédictin qu’elle a réalisé au cours de ces dernières années, la Belgique dispose désormais de son mémorial du camp de Ravensbrück et de la mise en lumière du parcours de près de 2.250 femmes déportées depuis la Belgique, ou qui s’y sont installées après la guerre. Quatre-vingts ans après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, nous disposons (enfin) du récit des 2.250 femmes déportées depuis la Belgique vers le camp de Ravensbrück. L’ouvrage de Claire Pahaut porte sur le seul camp de concentration du régime nazi spécifiquement destiné aux femmes.

Abstract

The concentration camp at Dachau was the first established by the Nazis, opened shortly after Hitler came to power in 1933. It first held political prisoners, but later also forced laborers, Soviet POWs, Jews, and other "undesirables." More than 30,000 deaths were documented there, with many more unrecorded. In the midst of the horror, some inmates turned to poetry to provide comfort, to preserve their sense of humanity, or to document their experiences. Some were or would later become established poets; others were prominent politicians or theologians; still others were ordinary men and women. This anthology contains 68 poems by 32 inmates of Dachau, in 10 different original languages and facing-page English translation, along with short biographies. A prologue by Walter Jens and an introduction by Dorothea Heiser from the original German edition are joined here by a foreword by Stuart Taberner of the University of Leeds. All the poems, having arisen in the experience or memory of extreme human suffering, are testimonies to the persistence of the humanity and creativity of the individual. They are also a warning not to forget the darkest chapter of history and a challenge to the future not to allow it to be repeated. Dorothea Heiser holds an MA from the University of Freiburg. Stuart Taberner is Professor of Contemporary German Literature, Culture, and Society at the University of Leeds.

Abstract

This is the first attempt to explain how Jewish doctors survived extreme adversity in Auschwitz where death could occur at any moment. The ordinary Jewish slave labourer survived an average of fifteen weeks. Ross Halpin discovers that Jewish doctors survived an average of twenty months, many under the same horrendous conditions as ordinary prisoners. Despite their status as privileged prisoners Jewish doctors starved, froze, were beaten to death and executed. Many Holocaust survivors attest that luck, God and miracles were their saviors. The author suggests that surviving Auschwitz was far more complex. Interweaving the stories of Jewish doctors before and during the Holocaust Halpin develops a model that explains the anatomy of survival. According to his model the genesis of survival of extreme adversity is the will to live which must be accompanied by the necessities of life, specific personal traits and defence mechanisms. For survival all four must co-exist.
