  • THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust
    THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski The Polish Police Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 17, 2016 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, April 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Jan Grabowski THE INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. Wrong Memory Codes? The Polish “Blue” Police and Collaboration in the Holocaust In 2016, seventy-one years after the end of World War II, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs disseminated a long list of “wrong memory codes” (błędne kody pamięci), or expressions that “falsify the role of Poland during World War II” and that are to be reported to the nearest Polish diplomat for further action. Sadly—and not by chance—the list elaborated by the enterprising humanists at the Polish Foreign Ministry includes for the most part expressions linked to the Holocaust. On the long list of these “wrong memory codes,” which they aspire to expunge from historical narrative, one finds, among others: “Polish genocide,” “Polish war crimes,” “Polish mass murders,” “Polish internment camps,” “Polish work camps,” and—most important for the purposes of this text—“Polish participation in the Holocaust.” The issue of “wrong memory codes” will from time to time reappear in this study.

  • Szymon Datner German Nazi Crimes Against Jews Who
    JEWISH HISTORICAL INSTITUTE BULLETIN NO. 75 (1970) SZYMON DATNER GERMAN NAZI CRIMES AGAINST JEWS WHO ESCAPED FROM THE GHETTOES “LEGAL” THREATS AND ORDINANCES REGARDING JEWS AND THE POLES WHO HELPED THEM Among other things, the “final solution of the Jewish question” required that Jews be prohibited from leaving the ghettoes they were living in—which typically were fenced off and under guard. The occupation authorities issued inhumane ordinances to that effect. In his ordinance of October 15, 1941, Hans Frank imposed draconian penalties on Jews who escaped from the ghettoes and on Poles who would help them escape or give them shelter: “§ 4b (1) Jews who leave their designated quarter without authorisation shall be punished by death. The same penalty shall apply to persons who knowingly shelter such Jews. (2) Those who instigate and aid and abet shall be punished with the same penalty as the perpetrator; acts attempted shall be punished as acts committed. A penalty of severe prison sentence or prison sentence may be imposed for minor offences. (3) Sentences shall be passed by special courts.” 1 In the reality of the General Government (GG), § 4b (3) was never applied to runaway Jews. They would be killed on capture or escorted to the nearest police, gendarmerie, Gestapo or Kripo station and, after being identified as Jews and tortured to give away those who helped or sheltered them, summarily executed. Many times the same fate befell Poles, too, particularly those living in remote settlements and woodlands. The cases of Poles who helped Jews, which were examined by special courts, raised doubts even among the judges of this infamous institution because the only penalty stipulated by law (death) was so draconian.

  • The Holocaust in Europe Research Trends, Pedagogical Approaches, and Political Challenges
    Special Lessons & Legacies Conference Munich | November 4-7, 2019 The Holocaust in Europe Research Trends, Pedagogical Approaches, and Political Challenges CONFERENCE PROGRAM WELCOME TO MUNICH Since 1989, scholars from around the world are gathering biennially for the interdisciplinary conference "Lessons & Legacies of the Holocaust" to present their work and discuss new research trends and fresh pedagogical approaches to the history and memory of the Holocaust. This year, for the first time ever, a special Lessons & Legacies Conference takes place in Europe. The close proximity to historical sites and authentic places of Nazi rule and terror provides a unique opportunity not only to address the reverberations of the past in the present, but also to critically reflect upon the challenges for research and education posed by today’s growing nationalism and right-wing populism. What is more, our rich conference program includes a rare chance to visit relevant memorial sites, documentations centers, museums, and archives in the vicinity. We are especially pleased to collaborate with the Jewish Community of Munich and Upper Bavaria to introduce conference delegates to a vibrant Jewish communal life in the heart of the city and the region. We are looking forward to a productive and most fruitful conference that will stimulate debate and foster a lasting scholarly exchange among a large community of experts working in the field of Holocaust Studies.

  • Marcus Braude and the Making of the Future Jewish Elite in Poland
    Natalia Aleksiun Marcus Braude and the Making of the Future Jewish Elite in Poland In the autumn of 1946, a Holocaust survivor and graduate of the prestigious Second Boys Gymnasium in Łódź recalled his experiences with a sense of pro- found pride and nostalgia: “I am one of thousands of young boys who … envi- sioned new, intellectually sophisticated cadres of the Jewish youth. We were to face a great historical task. We have been … brought up thinking about our na- tion.”1 Indeed, the school championed the programme designed to train a new generation of Polish Jews fully conversant in the contemporary culture, fl u- ent in Hebrew and committed to Jewish national causes in Poland. Th is novel model of secondary Jewish education for the future Jewish communal and in- tellectual elite was envisioned by Zionist leader, preacher and educator Marcus Braude (1869−1949).2 Raised in Lvov (or Lwów – Lviv in present-day Ukraine), he belonged to the circle of young Jews pursuing secular studies and Zion- ist commitment, together with Ozjasz Th on and Markus Ehrenpreis.3 Braude 1 YIVO Archive in New York (YIVO), Record Group (RG) no. 1258, Philip Friedman papers. 2 Born in Brest-Litovsk in 1869, Braude received both secular and religious education in Lvov, where his maternal grandfather Tzvi Hirsh Orenstein had been the city’s rabbi. Not sur- prisingly, Nella Th on-Rostowa called him “the aristocrat of blood and spirit” as Braude was a scion of well-respected rabbinic families.

  • Jewish Behavior During the Holocaust
    VICTIMS’ POLITICS: JEWISH BEHAVIOR DURING THE HOLOCAUST by Evgeny Finkel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 07/12/12 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Yoshiko M. Herrera, Associate Professor, Political Science Scott G. Gehlbach, Professor, Political Science Andrew Kydd, Associate Professor, Political Science Nadav G. Shelef, Assistant Professor, Political Science Scott Straus, Professor, International Studies © Copyright by Evgeny Finkel 2012 All Rights Reserved i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation could not have been written without the encouragement, support and help of many people to whom I am grateful and feel intellectually, personally, and emotionally indebted. Throughout the whole period of my graduate studies Yoshiko Herrera has been the advisor most comparativists can only dream of. Her endless enthusiasm for this project, razor- sharp comments, constant encouragement to think broadly, theoretically, and not to fear uncharted grounds were exactly what I needed. Nadav Shelef has been extremely generous with his time, support, advice, and encouragement since my first day in graduate school. I always knew that a couple of hours after I sent him a chapter, there would be a detailed, careful, thoughtful, constructive, and critical (when needed) reaction to it waiting in my inbox. This awareness has made the process of writing a dissertation much less frustrating then it could have been. In the future, if I am able to do for my students even a half of what Nadav has done for me, I will consider myself an excellent teacher and mentor.

    Studia Judaica (2017), Special English Issue, pp. 117–130 doi:10.4467/24500100STJ.16.020.7372 REVIEW ESSAY Piotr J. Wróbel Modern Syntheses of Jewish History in Poland: A Review* After World War II, Poland became an ethnically homogeneous state. National minorities remained beyond the newly-moved eastern border, and were largely exterminated, forcefully removed, or relocated and scattered throughout the so-called Recovered Territories (Polish: Ziemie Odzys­ kane). The new authorities installed in Poland took care to ensure that the memory of such minorities also disappeared. The Jews were no exception. Nearly two generations of young Poles knew nothing about them, and elder Poles generally avoided the topic. But the situation changed with the disintegration of the authoritarian system of government in Poland, as the intellectual and informational void created by censorship and political pressure quickly filled up. Starting from the mid-1980s, more and more Poles became interested in the history of Jews, and the number of publica- tions on the subject increased dramatically. Alongside the US and Israel, Poland is one of the most important places for research on Jewish history. * Polish edition: Piotr J. Wróbel, “Współczesne syntezy dziejów Żydów w Polsce.

  • Transforming Remembrance in the Former Death Camp Belzec – a Short History
    Transforming remembrance in the former death camp Belzec – a short history STEFFEN HÄNSCHEN Bildungswerk Stanislaw Hantz hich history stands behind the name Belzec? In most cases an average citizen in Germany or in any other European country could not answer this question. In Poland some people would know, that a small village with this name exists in South East Poland close to the Ukrainian border, which is somehow connected with the Holocaust. WBelzec is indeed one of the least known former death camps. Like most extermination centres of the 1940s it has only a small place in the public memory of the Holocaust. The Holocaust is symbolically strongly connected with the name of Auschwitz that became the universal catch-word, the main symbol of the extermination of the Jewish population in Europe. But only specialists on the subject could tell you more about thousands of other places associated with the Holocaust like Belzec, Panierai near Vilnius in Lithuania or Piaski in the outskirts of Lvov in Ukraine. The few known facts we know about these places mostly come from few survivors and eyewitnesses of the Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe. This testimony has guaranteed in the past 70 years, that memorials have been built, extermination sites commemorated and historical education developed. Nevertheless, the situation has always been difficult for sites for which no witness could be found. In Eastern Europe, a second problem has been the official politics of the Soviet-Union and other socialist states towards the Holocaust, which for more than 40 years did not support any active commemoration of Jewish suffering during the Nazi occupation.
