"What do we learn about death from the Holocaust and how does it impact our responses to mortality today? Facing Death: Confronting Mortality in the Holocaust and Ourselves brings together the work of eleven Holocaust and genocide scholars who address these difficult questions, convinced of the urgency of further reflection on the Holocaust as the last survivors pass away. The volume is distinctive in its dialogical and introspective approach, where the contributors position themselves to confront their own impending death while listening to the voices of victims and learning from their intimate experiences. Broken in to three parts, this collection engages with these voices in a way that is not only scholarly, but deeply personal. The first part of the book engages with Holocaust testimony by drawing on the writings of survivors and witnesses such as Elie Wiesel, Jean Amery, and Charlotte Delbo, including rare accounts from members of the Sonderkommando. Reflections of post-Holocaust generations--the children and grandchildren of survivors--are housed in the second part, addressing questions of remembrance and memorialization. The concluding essays offer intimate self-reflection about how engagement with the Holocaust impacts the contributors' personal lives, faiths, and ethics. In an age of continuing atrocities, this volume provides careful attention to the affective dimension of coping with death, in particular, how loss and grief are deferred or denied, narrated and passed along"--

How did "ordinary women," like their male counterparts, become capable of brutal violence during the Holocaust? Cultural historian Elissa Mailänder examines the daily work of twenty-eight women employed by the SS to oversee prisoners in the concentration and death camp Majdanek/Lublin in Poland. Many female SS overseers in Majdanek perpetrated violence and terrorized prisoners not only when ordered to do so but also on their own initiative. The social order of the concentration camp, combined with individual propensities, shaped a microcosm in which violence became endemic to workaday life. The author's analysis of Nazi records, court testimony, memoirs, and film interviews illuminates the guards' social backgrounds, careers, and motives as well as their day-to-day behavior during free time and on the "job," as they supervised prisoners on work detail and in the cell blocks, conducted roll calls, and "selected" girls and women for death in the gas chambers. Scrutinizing interactions and conflicts among female guards, relations with male colleagues and superiors, and internal hierarchies, Female SS Guards and Workaday Violence shows how work routines, pressure to "resolve problems," material gratification, and Nazi propaganda stressing guards' roles in "creating a new order" heightened female overseers' identification with Nazi policies and radicalized their behavior.--Publisher.

David Van Turnhout volgt samen met Dirk Verhofstadt het spoor van zijn Joodse grootvader, Ide Leib Kartuz. Op de vlucht voor antisemitisme en geweld, kwam hij in 1929 naar Antwerpen, waar hij zich vestigde als kleermaker. Zijn achtergebleven familie belandde in het getto van Radomsko. Elk familielid werd vergast in Treblinka, er bleef niemand meer over. In België ging Kartuz bij het verzet, maar in 1942 pakten de nazi’s hem op en deporteerden hem via Breendonk en de Dossinkazerne naar Auschwitz. Zijn vrouw en twee kinderen vonden meteen bij hun aankomst een gruwelijke dood. Zelf overleefde hij in een commando van kleermakers en onderging hij een onmenselijke dodenmars naar Mauthausen. Na de oorlog maakte hij in Antwerpen maatpakken voor bankiers, diamantairs en andere toplui. Hij hertrouwde en kreeg opnieuw twee kinderen. Zijn laatste strijd voerde hij tegen de Belgische staat voor erkenning als Belg, weerstander en oorlogsslachtoffer. Slechts weinigen weten hoe bijzonder moeilijk het na de bevrijding voor de Joden in België nog was. De auteurs graven tot diep in de kern van de Holocaust en onderzoeken van Radomsko tot Miami elk spoor. In de archieven van Auschwitz ontdekten ze onuitgegeven getuigenissen van kleermakers in Blok 1. Totaal onverwacht vonden ze in Florida ook een nichtje van Ide. Zij overleefde door als kind onder te duiken op een zolder in Brussel. Hun zoektocht slingert een jaar lang tussen belangrijke ontdekkingen en tegenslagen, maar in dit eerbetoon krijgt een onbekende geschiedenis eindelijk een gezicht.
