Abstract

"Das KZ Theresienstadt war Durchgangslager für über 140 000 Gefangene. Benjamin Murmelstein rettete als einzig überlebender Judenältester des Konzentrationslagers vielen Tausend Menschen das Leben. Seine detaillierte, der Wahrheit verpflichtete Schilderung dieser Zeit ist ein unersetzliches Zeitzeugnis und liegt nun erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung vor.Nach Stationen in der jüdischen Wiener Auswanderungsabteilung und Mitglied des Judenrates kam der Rabbiner Benjamin Murmelstein Anfang 1943 in das von der NS-Propaganda als Juden- bzw. Altersghetto beschönigte KZ.Sein Buch über Theresienstadt, das 1961 in seiner späteren Heimat Italien erschien, ist auch eine Verteidigung seiner Person. Wiederholt wurde ihm nach Kriegsende der Vorwurf der Kollaboration gemacht – von dem er allerdings bereits in den 50er-Jahren freigesprochen wurde.Dennoch durfte er beim Eichmann-Prozess 1961 nicht aussagen, er wurde vonseiten Israels mehrfach angegriffen und der Großrabbiner von Rom verweigerte ihm nach seinem Tod das Totengebet. Zu Recht bezeichnete er sich als „Der letzte der Ungerechten“ – einen Titel, den Dokumentarfilmer und „Shoah“-Regisseur Claude Lanzmann auch für seinen 2013 außer Konkurrenz in Cannes über Murmelstein gezeigten Film wählte."

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

Analyzing the earliest debates over the memory of Nazi camps, the author makes an important contribution to the study of their origin, reducing the existing asymmetry in our knowledge on the relevant phenomena in Western and Eastern Europe. This is all the more important as the Poles and Polish Jews, whose involvement in the disputes over memory she describes, were the most important group of survivors and eyewitnesses of the camps and so the genuine group of memory. Prof. Dariusz Stola (Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Science) The vast number and variety of sources us

Abstract

Between 1941 and 1945 as many as 70,000 inmates died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northwestern Germany. The exact number will never be known. A large number of these deaths were caused by malnutrition and disease, mainly typhus, shortly before and after liberation. It was at this time, in April of 1945, that Michael Hargrave answered a notice at the Westminster Hospital Medical School for 'volunteers'. On the day of his departure the 21-year-old learned that he was being sent to Bergen-Belsen, liberated only two weeks before. This firsthand account, a diary written for his mother

Abstract

Ceija Stojka (1933-2013), a member of the Lovara community (from the Hungarian Lo = horse, horse traders), a Roma group that settled in Austria, was deported to Auschwitz with a large portion of her family at ten years old. Her father had previously been gassed in the 'euthanasia' facility at Hartheim. Ceija Stojka survived not only the extermination camp at Auschwitz, but also the concentration camps at Ravensbrück and Bergen Belsen, from which she was freed by the British army on 15 April 1945. Together with her brother Karl Stojka, she was the first to break the victims' silence in Austria in the 1980s, and continued to discuss her treatment as a Roma openly from then on. At the end of the 1980s she began teaching herself to draw and paint. The cycle of ink drawings and gouaches 'Even death is afraid of Auschwitz' developed over several years and comprises approximately 250 pages. It offers an impressive artistic narrative of the persecution and genocide of the Roma and Sinti under the Nazis and is being published as completely as possible in this book. The texts by Barbara Danckwortt and Tímea Junghaus explore the artist's traumatic experiences in a concentration camp, and how she used art to work through them. Director Karin Berger describes the close cooperation with Ceija Stojka when making her documentary films. The two editors, Lith Bahlmann und Matthias Reichelt, provide an introduction to the topic and set out the context of the artistic work. An integral part of the book is a DVD featuring the two film portraits of Ceija Stojka by Karin Berger. 0Exhibition: Kunstverein Tiergarten Berlin, Germany (20.06.-26.07.2014) / Schwartzsche Villa, Berlin, Germany (02.07.-31.08.2014).

Abstract

What was the extent of allied knowledge regarding the mass murder of Jews at Auschwitz during the Second World War? The question is one which continues to prompt heated historical debate, and Michael Fleming's important new book offers a definitive account of just how much the Allies knew. By tracking Polish and other reports about Auschwitz from their source, and surveying how knowledge was gathered, controlled and distributed to different audiences, the book examines the extent to which information about the camp was passed on to the British and American authorities, and how the dissemination of this knowledge was limited by propaganda and information agencies in the West. In a fascinating new study, the author reveals that the Allies had extensive knowledge of the mass killing of Jews at Auschwitz much earlier than previously thought; but the publicising of this information was actively discouraged in Britain and the US.
