  • Displaced Children 1945 and the Child Tracing Division of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration
    70 Years After the Liberation 109 Displaced Children 1945 and the Child Tracing Division of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration VERENA BUSER, Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin ith the liberation of Nazi occupied Europe it became obvious that the Nazis had waged an unparalleled war against European civilisation which had also affected Wthe children. Psychologists and social workers encountered children, both Jewish and non-Jewish, who had endured suffering on an unprecedented scale: they were displaced and separated from their families, many of whom had been murdered. According to estimates of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), the largest international aid organisation at the end of the Second World War, there were at least 6,000 children in early March 1946 in the three western zones of occupation who had no relatives and lived in assembly centres or special children‘s centres.1 Who were the Displaced Children? The term ‘displaced children’ comprised minors from all population groups persecuted by the Nazis who had survived the war but were found without relatives; most importantly •฀ ฀Jewish฀children2 who had survived in concentration camps, in hiding with non-Jewish families or in monasteries, in partisan units,3 or in the Soviet Union;4 1 ITS-Arol, 6.1.1/82485874: letter from Miss M.

  • Whole Dissertation Hajkova 3
    Abstract This dissertation explores the prisoner society in Terezín (Theresienstadt) ghetto, a transit ghetto in the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. Nazis deported here over 140, 000 Czech, German, Austrian, Dutch, Danish, Slovak, and Hungarian Jews. It was the only ghetto to last until the end of Second World War. A microhistorical approach reveals the dynamics of the inmate community, shedding light on broader issues of ethnicity, stratification, gender, and the political dimension of the “little people” shortly before they were killed. Rather than relegating Terezín to a footnote in narratives of the Holocaust or the Second World War, my work connects it to Central European, gender, and modern Jewish histories. A history of victims but also a study of an enforced Central European society in extremis, instead of defining them by the view of the perpetrators, this dissertation studies Terezín as an autarkic society. This approach is possible because the SS largely kept out of the ghetto. Terezín represents the largest sustained transnational encounter in the history of Central Europe, albeit an enforced one. Although the Nazis deported all the inmates on the basis of their alleged Jewishness, Terezín did not produce a common sense of Jewishness: the inmates were shaped by the countries they had considered home. Ethnicity defined culturally was a particularly salient means of differentiation. The dynamics connected to ethnic categorization and class formation allow a deeper understanding of cultural and national processes in Central and Western Europe in the twentieth century. The society in Terezín was simultaneously interconnected and stratified. There were no stark contradictions between the wealthy and majority of extremely poor prisoners.

  • Second-Generation (Jewish) Artists
    Migration, Memory and the Visual Arts: Second-Generation (Jewish) Artists 7 May 2021, University of Leicester Online symposium Organisers: Dr Imogen Wiltshire and Dr Fransiska Louwagie Keynote: Dr Glenn Sujo (author and curator of Legacies of Silence: The Visual Arts and Holocaust Memory, Imperial War Museum) Young Blood and the Exterminatory Idea: A Continuum? Abstract As we draw on the survivors’ unassailable witness, can we as artists and scholars also look ahead to a concentrationary imaginary that enlarges the field of representation as a locus of possibility, resisting invisibility? And following from Adorno’s paradoxical proposition, can we still affirm that it is indeed ‘only in art that the enormity of such suffering finds a voice’? In this vein, I ask whether the universal message contained in the graphic cycles of Francisco Goya, Käthe Kollwitz or Otto Dix portend a visual imaginary of terror for the modern era that foreshadows the totalitarian and genocidal impulse to the destruction of a people. How do these images implicate (Rothberg) or make us complicitous (Sontag, Brink) in acts of violence, then and after? What obligations do they bestow on future acts of transmission, poetic misprision or an aesthetic of resistance? Two works, one a foreshadowing from the narrow corridor of exile and clandestinity in Max Beckmann’s Bird’s Hell (1938), the other, a fictional if also factual account of internment in KZ Auschwitz by Tadeusz Borowski (1946), sharpen our response to the subject’s radical and creative as well as destructive and nihilistic potential. Taking a cue from the symposium’s title, we might question whether the assumed model of generational succession — by choice, familial descent, identification with communal or ritual practices of remembrance or artistic affiliation — remains a viable frame for transmission in the enduring imaginary of human suffering, when subject to the erosions of time and memory as well as communal breakdown.

Ihre Geschichte wird auf die Erinnerungen der Geschichte verwiesen. Auch diese Kinder, die Kinder bei der Befreiung waren, sind jetzt in ihren Siebzigern und Achtzigern. Das ist diese Geschichte der Überlebende, die bei uns tiefste Widerhall finden. Nur ein winziges Prozent dieser unschuldigsten Opfer bekam zu überleben zustande und auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise. Die einen waren drinnen in den Lager untergetaucht, die einen lebten wie die Obdachlose in Städte, die einen waren in Klöster versteckt oder auf dem Land mit anderen Familien. Ein paar wurden in sehr jungem Alter Partisanen und sie haben gegen die Bundeswehr gekämpft und die einen waren glücklich und entkamen nach Großbritanien über den Kindertransport oder nach Südfrankreich mit ihren Familien. Während ihrer Internierung in den Lagern könnten die Kinder uns einen Einblick ins Alltagsleben durch ihre Kunstwerke und Tagebücher, in den sie ihre Kämpfe, Hoffnungen und Ängste erzählten geben. Amerikanische, britische und sowjetische Befreier erschraken, wann sie diese Lager fanden, insbesondere wann sie auf die Kinder trafen oder wie ein Befreier sagte, „die Kinderlosigkeit,“ wann sie Belege fanden, dass Kinder dort damals waren.

  • Matters of Testimony
    Introduction Matters of Testimony ••• Discoveries In February 1945, in the weeks after the liberation of Oświęcim by the 60th Army of the First Ukrainian Front, the massive complex of Auschwitz- Birkenau was proving difficult to manage. The Red Army, preoccupied with securing its position against German attempts to recapture the valuable industrial zone of Silesia, had few resources to spread across the camp’s multiple sites. The grounds of Birkenau were littered with debris and rubbish. Luggage lay in the cars of a train left on the unloading ramp, and was also strewn over the ground nearby. The departing SS had set fire to storehouses, and blown up the crematoria. The snow was beginning to melt, leaving everything in a sea of mud, and revealing more of what had been left behind: mass graves and burnt human remains. Around six hundred corpses had been found inside blocks or lying in the snow, and needed to be buried. Of the seven thousand prisoners who had been liberated on 27 January, nearly five thousand were in need of some kind of treatment. Soviet medical officers and Polish Red Cross volunteers came to the camp to care for them.1 Andrzej Zaorski, a 21-year-old doctor stationed in Kraków, was one of these volunteers. He arrived at Auschwitz a week or two after its liberation, where, as he recalled twenty-five years later, he was lodged in the commandant’s house. He found a richly illustrated book among the papers left behind. The author, an SS-man, described the birdlife in 2 • Matters of Testimony the vicinity of the camp, and thanked the commandant for permission to carry out observations.

  • Einsatzgruppen
    Juni 1998 Einsatzgruppen Die Einsatzgruppen wurden im Frühjahr 1941 mit dem Zweck gebildet, während des Rußlandfeldzuges die so genannte „jüdisch-bolschewistische Intelligenz“ zu beseitigen. Schnell wurde der Kreis der Opfer erweitert: Zuerst nur die Polit- funktionäre, dann folgten alle Beamten, dann alle Partisanenverdächtigen und schließlich jeder einzelne Jude, erst die Männer, dann auch Frauen und Kinder. Im März 1941 äußerte sich Hitler das erste Mal zu General Jodl über die Notwendigkeit, daß Einsatzgruppen der Sicherheitspolizei (SD) entstehen sollen und eine Vereinbarung mit Hey- drich über die Rolle dieser Einsatzgruppen im Ostfeldzug getroffen werden müsse. Die Wehrmacht erklärte sich mit einer freien und unbegrenzten Tätigkeit dieser Einsatzgruppen einverstanden. Einen Befehl zur Endlösung hatte es noch nicht gegeben. Dieser kam am 21. Januar 1942 während der Wannsee-Konferenz, nachdem schon vorher während des Rußland- feldzuges (Operation Barbarossa) fast eine Million Juden ermordet worden waren. Im Mai 1941 hatte Heydrich ungefähr 3.000 Mann beisammen, die in vier Einsatzgruppen eingeteilt wurden: • Die Einsatzgruppe A sollte der Heeresgruppe Nord in die Baltischen Staaten bis nach Leningrad folgen und wurde von Stahlecker kommandiert. • Die Einsatzgruppe B, von Nebe geleitet, folgte der Heeresgruppe Mitte mit dem Ope- rationsraum zwischen den Baltischen Staaten und Ukraine. • Die Einsatzgruppe C führte Rasch. Sie operierte westlich und nördlich von der Heere- sgruppe Süd. • Die Einsatzgruppe D unter Ohlendorf operierte zwischen Bessarabien und dem Krim- gebiet, im Süden der Heeresgruppe Süd. Die Einsatzgruppen hatten Bataillonsstärke und setzten sich ähnlich wie die Gruppe A zu- sammen: Männer der Gestapo (9 %), des SD (3,5 %), der Kriminalpolizei (4,1 %), der Ord- nungspolizei (13,4 %), ausländischer Hilfspolizei (8,8 %) und der Waffen-SS (34 %).

  • Social Circles in the Theresienstadt Ghetto Lesson Plan Introduction
    The International School for Holocaust Studies Internet Department Between The Worlds: Social Circles in the Theresienstadt Ghetto Welcome! In this website, "Between The Worlds", we invite you to join us on a journey to discover the world of the Jewish children of the Theresienstadt ghetto. This journey strives to reveal the difficulties of these children as they suffered times of pain and loss during the Holocaust. The site has a lesson plan with activities geared for pupils in middle and high school. This website is based on some of the sources and activities that are part of the CD ROM 'Between the Worlds'- Social Circles in the Theresienstadt Ghetto.' The CD ROM follows the world of the Jews in the ghetto during this difficult period, and focusing on the various age groups and sub-cultures that lived in the ghetto: children, parents, men and women. Lesson Plan This activity focuses on the lives and world of the children in the Theresienstadt Ghetto and follows their relationships with different groups in the ghetto: Introduction 1. The world between parents and their children 2. The world of the children 3. The world between madrichim (youth leaders) and the children Summary In each chapter there are relevant testimonies of the children that focus on their fears and feelings. Introduction During the Holocaust, the Jews of Czechoslovakia as well as elderly Jews and well-known Jewish personalities people from Germany and Western Europe were imprisoned in the Theresienstadt Ghetto. Later, in 1944, the Germans also used this ghetto as a site for camouflaging the murder of the Jews of Europe by presenting it as "a model Jewish town" with "an autonomous Jewish administration".
