Abstract

Buchenwald concentration camp was an international event. During the seven years that it existed, people from 30 nations were deported there, and after 1945, texts about the camp were written in the majority of the languages that they spoke. This volume conveys an impression of the camp’s reach in European literature by looking at the few canonical texts by writers like Apitz, Semprún, Kertész, Adler, and Antelme, but also going beyond them. Kaum ein nationalsozialistisches Konzentrationslager hat nach 1945 eine derart vielfältige Literatur hervorgebracht wie Buchenwald. Zu ihr gehören ideologisch bis heute umstrittene Bücher wie der antifaschistische Beststeller Nackt unter Wölfen, die hochkanonischen Romane wie Semprúns oder Kertész, weniger bekannte Romane wie Adlers Das Panorama oder Ferdinand Peroutkas Wolke und Walzer, eine Flut vergessener ‚grauer‘ Bericht-Literatur, frühe Versuche einer soziologischen, politischen oder psychologischen Deutung des Lagers. Ebenso wie das Konzentrationslager Buchenwald selbst ist diese Literatur international. Buchenwald versammelte Menschen aus fast allen Ländern Europas. Viele von ihnen wurden aus politischen oder rassischen Gründen deportiert, die nationale Grenzen überschritten. Die Literatur, die aus dem Lager hervorging, entstand also einerseits in nationalliterarischen Kontexten, bezog sich aber andererseits auf ein transnationales Ereignis, das sich mit transnationalen Fragen verband. Die Literatur des Lagers Buchenwald lässt sich daher nicht einfach nationalliterarisch einhegen. Trotzdem wies die Forschung in den letzten Jahren einen starken Zug zur nationalliterarischen Segmentierung auf, was auch dazu führte, dass sich die Wahrnehmung darüber hinaus nur auf sehr wenige kanonische Werke beschränkte. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beiträge über die Literaturen, die an der europäischen Textgeschichte des Konzentrationslagers Buchenwald mitgeschrieben haben.

Abstract

Rising from the Ruins is an assessment of reason, being, and the good in a world fractured by the passage of the Shoah, or Holocaust. The historical character of evil that appeared in the Shoah damaged the relationship of human existence to being, creating a time when the confidence of reason to possess the truth no longer exists. Rising from the Ruins relocates the relationships among being, reason, and the good in terms of a metaphysics, ethics, and politics that derive from faith and heteronomy.Rather than another attempt to document the horror of the Shoah, this book chronicles what the world is like for those who have read and listened to previous accounts. Rising from the Ruins doesn't celebrate surviving the Holocaust; instead, it speaks of a rationality that sees truth and the good through the eyes of suffering and the silence of death. Such a rationality, Gillan suggests, looks more like faith, and it takes its place among the sweat and tears of common men and women who are dedicated to building a human city, populated with children, the poor, the sick, and the aged.

Abstract

Making Camp examines the rhetoric and conventions of "camp" in contemporary popular culture and the ways it both subverts and is co-opted by mainstream ideology and discourse, especially as it pertains to issues of gender and sexuality. Camp has long been aligned with gay male culture and performance. Helene Shugart and Catherine Waggoner contend that camp in the popular media-whether visual, dramatic, or musical-is equally pervasive. While aesthetic and performative in nature, the authors argue that camp-female camp in particular-is also highly political an

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.

Abstract

The Sonderkommando of Auschwitz-Birkenau consisted primarily of Jewish prisoners forced by the Germans to facilitate the mass extermination. Though never involved in the killing itself, they were compelled to be "members of staff" of the Nazi death-factory. This book, translated for the first time into English from its original Hebrew, consists of interviews with the very few surviving men who witnessed at first hand the unparalleled horror of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Some of these men had never spoken of their experiences before. Over a period of years, Gideon Greif interviewed intensively all Sonderkommando survivors living in Israel. They describe not only the details of the German-Nazi killing program but also the moral and human challenges they faced. The book provides direct testimony about the "Final Solution of the Jewish Problem," but it is also a unique document on the boundless cruelty and deceit practiced by the Germans. It documents the helplessness and powerlessness of the one-and-a-half million people, 90 percent of them Jews, who were brutally murdered in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
