Abstract

Drawing on testimonies, memoirs, and personal interviews of Holocaust survivors, Francoise S. Ouzan reveals how the experience of Nazi persecution impacted their personal reconstruction, rehabilitation, and reintegration into a free society. She sheds light on the life trajectories of various groups of Jews, including displaced persons, partisan fighters, hidden children, and refugees from Nazism. Ouzan shows that personal success is not only a unifying factor among these survivors but is part of an ethos that unified ideas of homeland, social justice, togetherness, and individual aspirations in the redemptive experience. Exploring how Holocaust survivors rebuilt their lives after World War II, Ouzan tells the story of how they coped with adversity and psychic trauma to contribute to the culture and society of their country of residence.

Abstract

""Reading Georgia Hunter's We Were the Lucky Ones is like being swung heart first into history. A brave and mesmerizing debut, and a truly tremendous accomplishment."--Paula McLain, New York Timesbestselling author of The Paris Wife. An extraordinary, propulsive novel based on the true story of a family of Polish Jews who scatter at the start of the Second World War, determined to survive, and to reunite. It is the spring of 1939, and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows ever closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships facing Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors overtaking Europe will become inescapable and the Kurc family will be flung to the far corners of the earth, each desperately trying to chart his or her own path toward safety. As one sibling is forced into exile, another attempts to flee the continent, while others struggle to escape certain death by working endless hours on empty stomachs in the factories of the ghetto or by hiding as gentiles in plain sight. Driven by an extraordinary will to survive and by the fear that they may never see each other again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere. In a novel of breathtaking sweep and scope that spans five continents and six years and transports readers from the jazz clubs of Paris to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to Krakow's most brutal prison and the farthest reaches of the Siberian gulag, We Were the Lucky Ones is a tribute to the capacity of the human spirit to endure in the face of the twentieth century's darkest moment"--

Abstract

Konec druhé světové války je často vnímán jako ukončení násilí, počátek míru a návrat k normalitě. Avšak monografie Návraty. Poválečná rekonstrukce židovských komunit v zemích středovýchodní, jihovýchodní a východní Evropy ukazuje, že takový obraz je do značné míry zjednodušující. Kniha zkoumá nejen samotnou cestu přeživších holocaust zpět, ale především mnohost a různorodost toho, jak jejich fyzický a mentální návrat ovlivnil je samotné a jejich okolí. Kam se vlastně vracejí? Kdo na ně čeká? A jak společnost jejich návrat přijímá? Čtenář záhy pozná, že autobiografické příběhy přeživších, kteří prožili rasovou perzekuci během druhé světové války v úkrytech, koncentračních a vyhlazovacích táborech, v odboji nebo pod falešnou nežidovskou identitou, dávají návratu, tedy klíčovému pojmu této knihy, jinou a v mnoha případech hořkou příchuť. Kniha za pomoci více než stovky rozhovorů v sedmnácti jazycích vykresluje poválečnou realitu plastickým způsobem. Přeživší sice okamžik osvobození sami vnímali jako „konec příběhu“ války a perzekuce, jak ale tato monografie dokládá, osvobozením jejich příběh zdaleka neskončil. Kolektivní práce pod vedením Kateřiny Králové a Hany Kubátové je unikátní publikací, která vznikla jako společné dílo s účastí mladých badatelů Fakulty sociálních věd Univerzity Karlovy v Praze. Je odrazem dlouhodobé a citlivé práce se studenty a jejím cílem je problematizovat stále poměrně opomíjenou, avšak pořád traumatizující poválečnou dobu.
