Who would have that the trauma of “cattle cars” would be enduringly fas- cinating and appealing to so many different people? The anecdotal history behind the history of this book remains unwritten. For now. Colleagues from universities in Australia were the first audiences for the topic of train journeys. I owe Mark Baker, Tony Barta, Krystyna Duszniak, Donna- Lee Frieze, Roger Hillman, Konrad Kwiet, and Steven Welch much gratitude for their advice and input on the themes of trains, survivors, and writing. Tony Barta and Roger Hillman were particularly vigilant in tracking the book’s progress once I was immersed in writing it, and both read draft chapters, as did Omer Bartov, Berel Lang, Dirk Moses, and Alan Rosen. I am very grate- ful to all of them for their detailed commentary and encouragement. The primary archival research for this book was undertaken while I was a Charles H. Revson Fellow at the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies (CAHS), the research institute of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington D.C. During that stay, I was welcomed by Wendy Lower (former director of the Visiting Scholars Program) and Paul Shapiro (Director of the CAHS), and I benefited from the counsel of several senior scholars in residence: Berel Lang, Gerhard Weinberg, and Lenore Weitzman. During my time there, I was also fortunate to learn from a wonderful group of scholars that included Hilary Earl, Robert Kuwalek, Phillip Rutherford, and Anna Ziebinska. In August 2002, I took up a temporary appointment at the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica. I could not have anticipated a more profound experience of ambivalence and ultimately, growth and professional reorientation of my interests. Jamaica has complex and fascinating histories of displacement and dispossession, histories that were inevitably recalled in the classroom whenever I taught the Holocaust to Caribbean students. James Robertson and Swithin Wilmot were welcoming and generous colleagues, – vii – This open access library edition is supported by Knowledge Unlatched.

Additional visits to the USHMM in Washington, DC, allowed further exploration of train journeys and transit. In 2003, I co-coordinated a Sum- mer Research Workshop on “Interpreting Testimony,” and in 2007, par- ticipated in another Summer Research Workshop, “Geographies of the Holocaust.” Both workshops generated further avenues of research and val- idated a geographical and socio-cultural approach to journeys and transit. Robert Ehrenreich and Suzanne Brown-Fleming of the University Programs Division at the CAHS supported both workshops, and Tim Cole, along with other participants in the “Geographies of the Holocaust” Workshop, provided a benchmark of intellectual collaboration. At Victoria University, Wellington, I have shared my ideas and writings on train journeys with undergraduate students in my Holocaust courses and with departmental colleagues, particularly Kate Hunter. Their collective input has been invaluable. Numerous grants from the Faculty of Humani- ties and Social Sciences provided relief from teaching, and funds to cover the permission fees and reproduction costs of photos. Caroline Waddell from the Photo Archives at the USHMM was especially effi cient in facilitat- ing the supply of historical images. I am also grateful to the University of Minnesota Libraries, Sovfoto/Eastfoto, and United Press International for permission to reproduce photos from the Majdanek concentration camp. All credits for the use of photos are acknowledged throughout the text. I am indebted to Omer Bartov and Dirk Moses for accepting my contribution to the War and Genocide series. At Berghahn Books, I am deeply appreciative to Marion Berghahn, for her ongoing support and faith in the project, and to the production team, particularly Ann Przyzycki.

  • Britain's Transition from Rail to Road-Based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA
    ‘Food Miles’: Britain’s Transition from Rail to Road-based Food Distribution, 1919-1975 Thomas James Spain MA Doctor of Philosophy University of York Railway Studies September 2016 Abstract Britain’s railways were essential for the development of the British economy throughout the nineteenth century; however, by 1919 their seemingly unassailable position as goods carriers was about to be eroded by the lorry. The railway strike of September 1919 had presented traders with an opportunity to observe the capabilities of road haulage, but there is no study which focuses on the process of modal shift in goods distribution from the trader’s perspective. This thesis therefore marks an important departure from the existing literature by placing goods transport into its working context. The importance of food as an everyday essential commodity adds a further dimension to the status of goods transport within Britain’s supply chain, particularly when the fragility of food products means that minimising the impact of distance, time and spoilage before consumption is vital in ensuring effective and practical logistical solutions. These are considered in a series of four case studies on specific food commodities and retail distribution, which also hypothesise that the modal shift from rail to road reflected the changing character of transport demand between 1919 and 1975. Consequently, this thesis explores the notion that the centre of governance over the supply chain transferred between food producers, manufacturers, government and chain retailer, thereby driving changes in transport technology and practice. This thesis uses archival material to provide a qualitative study into the food industry’s relationship with transport where the case studies incorporate supply chain analyses to permit an exploration of how changes in structure might have influenced the modal shift from rail to road distribution.

HUIB VAN LAAR. IMAGE COPYRIGHT MUSEON, THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS. Though POWs in other camps in Thailand produced amazing musical and theatrical offerings for their audiences, it was the performers in Chungkai who, arguably, produced the most diverse, elaborate, and astonishing entertainment on the Thailand-Burma railway. Between Christmas 1943 and May 1945 they presented over sixty-five musical or theatrical productions. As there is more detailed information about the administration, production, and reception of the entertainment at Chungkai than at any other camp on the railway, the focus in this chapter will be on those productions and personalities that stand out in some significant way artistically, technically, or politically. To cover this material adequately, the chapter will be divided into two parts: Part One will cover the period from mid-October 1942 to mid-May 1944; Part Two, from mid-May 1944 to July 1945.

  • Using Diaries to Understand the Final Solution in Poland
    Miranda Walston Witnessing Extermination: Using Diaries to Understand the Final Solution in Poland Honours Thesis By: Miranda Walston Supervisor: Dr. Lauren Rossi 1 Miranda Walston Introduction The Holocaust spanned multiple years and states, occurring in both German-occupied countries and those of their collaborators. But in no one state were the actions of the Holocaust felt more intensely than in Poland. It was in Poland that the Nazis constructed and ran their four death camps– Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno, and Belzec – and created combination camps that both concentrated people for labour, and exterminated them – Auschwitz and Majdanek.1 Chelmno was the first of the death camps, established in 1941, while Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec were created during Operation Reinhard in 1942.2 In Poland, the Nazis concentrated many of the Jews from countries they had conquered during the war. As the major killing centers of the “Final Solution” were located within Poland, when did people in Poland become aware of the level of death and destruction perpetrated by the Nazi regime? While scholars have attributed dates to the “Final Solution,” predominantly starting in 1942, when did the people of Poland notice the shift in the treatment of Jews from relocation towards physical elimination using gas chambers? Or did they remain unaware of such events? To answer these questions, I have researched the writings of various people who were in Poland at the time of the “Final Solution.” I am specifically addressing the information found in diaries and memoirs. Given language barriers, this thesis will focus only on diaries and memoirs that were written in English or later translated and published in English.3 This thesis addresses twenty diaries and memoirs from people who were living in Poland at the time of the “Final Solution.” Most of these diaries (fifteen of twenty) were written by members of the intelligentsia.

  • Jewish Survival in Budapest, March 1944 – February 1945
    DECISIONS AMID CHAOS: JEWISH SURVIVAL IN BUDAPEST, MARCH 1944 – FEBRUARY 1945 Allison Somogyi A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Konrad Jarausch © 2014 Allison Somogyi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Allison Somogyi: Decisions amid Chaos: Jewish Survival in Budapest, March 1944 – February 1945 (Under the direction of Chad Bryant) “The Jews of Budapest are completely apathetic and do virtually nothing to save themselves,” Raoul Wallenberg stated bluntly in a dispatch written in July 1944. This simply was not the case. In fact, Jewish survival in World War II Budapest is a story of agency. A combination of knowledge, flexibility, and leverage, facilitated by the chaotic violence that characterized Budapest under Nazi occupation, helped to create an atmosphere in which survival tactics were common and widespread. This unique opportunity for agency helps to explain why approximately 58 percent of Budapest’s 200,000 Jews survived the war while the total survival rate for Hungarian Jews was only 26 percent. Although unique, the experience of Jews within Budapest’s city limits is not atypical and suggests that, when fortuitous circumstances provided opportunities for resistance, European Jews made informed decisions and employed everyday survival tactics that often made the difference between life and death. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank everybody who helped me and supported me while writing and researching this thesis. First and foremost I must acknowledge the immense support, guidance, advice, and feedback given to me by my advisor, Dr.

The camps were opened over the course of nearly two years, 1940-1942. Auschwitz closed in January 1945 with its liberation by the Soviet army. More than 1.1 million people died at Auschwitz, including nearly one million Jews. Those who were not sent directly to gas chambers were sentenced to forced labor. The Auschwitz complex differed from the other Nazi killing centers because it included a concentration camp and a labor camp as well as large gas chambers and crematoria at Birkenau constructed for the mass murder of European Jews.
