Intimacy Imprisoned: Intimate Human Relations in The
INTIMACY IMPRISONED: INTIMATE HUMAN RELATIONS IN THE HOLOCAUST CAMPS In fulfillment of EUH 6990 Dr. Daniel E. Miller 1 December 2000 Donna R. Fluharty 2 Each person surviving the Holocaust has their own personal narrative. A great number of these narratives have been written; many have been published. It is important for personal accounts to be told by each survivor, as each narrative brings a different perspective to the combined history. Knowing this, I dedicate my research to the narratives I was unable to read, whether they were simply unavailable or, unfortunately, unwritten. More importantly, this research is dedicated to those whose stories will never be told. 3 In his book Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl states that a human being is able to withstand any condition if there is sufficient meaning to his existence, a theme which permeates the entire work. 1 For a significant number of people, the right to this search for meaning was denied by a Holocaust which took the lives of an undetermined number of European Jews, war criminals, homosexuals, Gypsies, children, and mentally or physically handicapped persons. This denial of humanness was an essential component of Adolph Hitler’s plan to elevate the Aryan nation and rid the world of undesirables. In spite of laws which dictated human associations, through the triumph of the human spirit, certain prisoners of the Nazi ghettos, labor camps, and death camps were able to survive. Many of these survivors have graced the academic and public world with a written account of their experiences as prisoners of the Nazis. -

Law and Morality Under Evil Conditions: the SS Judge Konrad Morgen
DOI: 10.5235/Jurisprudence.3.2.367 (2012) 3(2) Jurisprudence 367–390 Law and Morality under Evil Conditions: The SS Judge Konrad Morgen Herlinde Pauer-Studer* 1. INTRODUCTION The main test for the dispute between legal positivists and natural law theorists1 has been the existence of wicked legal systems—first and foremost, the striking case of the Nazi legal system. In Anglo-American legal theory the issue of Nazi law has to a large extent been seen in light of the exchange between HLA Hart and Lon L Fuller * Research for this paper was funded by the ERC Advanced Research Grant ‘Distortions of Normativ- ity’. I owe thanks to several colleagues for their interest in the project and their most valuable feedback. For extensive discussions on the case of the SS judge Konrad Morgen and helpful comments on an earlier version of this paper I would like to thank J David Velleman, who also provided the archive material from the US National Archives. Thanks also to Joan C Tronto for comments on an earlier draft of this paper. Parts of this paper were presented at a conference on ‘Authority, Legality, and Legitimacy’ funded by the ERC project ‘Distortions of Normativity’ at the University of Vienna in May 2011. I would like to thank the participants of this conference, especially Julian Fink, Klaus Günther, Thomas Mertens, Liam Murphy, Fabienne Peter, Joseph Raz and Kristen Rundle for help- ful responses and discussion. I also thank David Dyzenhaus, Veli Mitova, Carolyn Benson, Alexandra Couto and Christoph Hanisch for valuable discussions on the issue of Nazi law. -

Genesi E Funzioni Del Campo Di Birkenau
AAARGH Giugno 2008 Carlo Mattogno Genesi e funzioni del campo di Birkenau Robert Jan van Pelt è stato uno dei primi scrittori ad avere accennato all'importanza di Auschwitz nei progetti delle SS di colonizzazione dei territori orientali occupati. Nel libro da lui scritto in collaborazione con Debórah Dwork egli ha affermato che «la creazione del campo di Birkenau, che dalla fine del 1942 era diventato il maggiore centro di annientamento ebraico d'Europa, era collegata direttamente al programma di Himmler di trasformare Auschwitz in un paradigma di colonizzazione tedesca all'Est»1. Successivamente van Pelt ha cercato di sviluppare questa tesi in riferimento soprattutto all'Alta Slesia 2, ma ulteriori ricerche hanno poi documentato che questo paradigma era parte di un progetto molto più vasto, il “Generalplan Ost”, il “progetto generale Est”, che coinvolse i campi di Birkenau, di Lublino e di Stutthof come semplici centri di raccolta di manodopera, prima di prigionieri di guerra sovietici, poi di Ebrei. Questa nuova interpretazione è stata sostenuta in particolare da Jan Erik Schulte, autore di un importante articolo intitolato «Vom Arbeits- zum Vernichtungslager. Die Entstehungsgeschichte von Auschwitz-Birkenau 1941/42» (Dal campo di lavoro al campo di sterminio. Storia della genesi di Auschwitz- Birkenau 1941-1942)3 che delinea appunto la storia iniziale del campo di Birkenau, inquadrandola nel “Generalplan Ost”. Ne riassumo i punti essenziali, inserendoli in una prospettiva più ampia. Nelle cosiddette annotazioni di Cracovia, Rudolf Höss, il primo comandante di Auschwitz, scrisse: 1 D. Dwork, R.

Destruction and Human Remains
Destruction and human remains HUMAN REMAINS AND VIOLENCE Destruction and human remains Destruction and Destruction and human remains investigates a crucial question frequently neglected in academic debate in the fields of mass violence and human remains genocide studies: what is done to the bodies of the victims after they are killed? In the context of mass violence, death does not constitute Disposal and concealment in the end of the executors’ work. Their victims’ remains are often treated genocide and mass violence and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering with often remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented phenomena, this volume includes chapters based Edited by ÉLISABETH ANSTETT on extensive primary and archival research to explore why, how and by whom these acts have been committed through recent history. and JEAN-MARC DREYFUS The book opens this line of enquiry by investigating the ideological, technical and practical motivations for the varying practices pursued by the perpetrator, examining a diverse range of historical events from throughout the twentieth century and across the globe. These nine original chapters explore this demolition of the body through the use of often systemic, bureaucratic and industrial processes, whether by disposal, concealment, exhibition or complete bodily annihilation, to display the intentions and socio-political frameworks of governments, perpetrators and bystanders. A NST Never before has a single publication brought together the extensive amount of work devoted to the human body on the one hand and to E mass violence on the other, and until now the question of the body in TTand the context of mass violence has remained a largely unexplored area. -
The Daily Work of Erich Muhsfeldt, Chief of the Crematorium at Majdanek Concentration and Extermination Camp, 1942–441
2 A specialist: the daily work of Erich Muhsfeldt, chief of the crematorium at Majdanek concentration and extermination camp, 1942–441 Elissa Mailänder In the context of the invasion of the Soviet Union, due to begin on 22 June 1941, Heinrich Himmler, visiting Lublin on 20 June that year, ordered a camp to be built in this Polish city situated in the south-east of occupied Poland, the so-called Generalgouvernement. Officially run as the ‘Lublin Waffen-SS prisoner of war camp’, the camp – which the prisoners named after the Lublin suburb of Majdan Tatarski – was nevertheless revealed after inspection to be a concentration camp,2 although, for as long as it existed, from 1941 to 1944, it fulfilled many different functions. It served as a prisoner of war camp for Soviet soldiers (1941–44), as a labour camp primarily for Jewish, but also for Polish, prisoners (1941–42), as a hostage and internment camp for the Polish and Soviet rural population, and as a concentration camp principally for Polish political prisoners (1942–44). In October 1942 a women’s camp was set up within the men’s camp, for Polish and Jewish women, where Jewish infants were also occasionally held. The Jewish prisoners – women, men, and children – were systematically murdered, since Majdanek was, between June 1942 and November 1943, one of the extermination camps for European Jews from all over Europe. The history of the camp is directly linked with the National Socialist policy of occupation and extermination in occupied Poland, as well as with the course of the war on the Eastern Front. -
Exploring Operational and Managerial Efficiencies Or Lack Thereof Within Auschwitz James Michael Hogan
Auschwitz I and III: Exploring Operational and Managerial Efficiencies or Lack Thereof within Auschwitz James Michael Hogan His 471 Fall 2016 "T" Hogan 2 Introduction to Parameters of Project: This project examines the operational and managerial efficiencies or lack thereof within the Auschwitz concentration camp operated by the Nazis during World War II as part of the "Final Solution." In order to examine both the efficiencies and inefficiencies of the camp, it is necessary to consider the founding, construction, administrative layout, basic processes, overall goals, and the way in which the Auschwitz camps affected prisoners and administrators. The proposed result of this examination is to weigh whether the policies and practices within Auschwitz I and III effectively implemented the objectives of Volkstrum and Lebensraum within the Reich's empire. While frequently thought of as a single entity, Auschwitz actually had two main camps (Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II - Birkenau), the third biggest sub-camp was Auschwitz III - Monowitz; it was one of the "40 subsidiary camps (Nebelager) [that] arose."1 This project focuses on two of the main camps within Auschwitz. The first is Auschwitz I, the original concentration camp. The second is Auschwitz III - Monowitz, this was one of the largest sub-camps at Auschwitz and was located immediately outside of the IG Farbenindustrie factory. This focus promotes a concentrated discussion on the stated area of interest. They also have a sufficient body of primary and secondary sources covering all aspects. Primarily, this project draws from secondary monographs that cite primary source material - official correspondence, first-hand accounts, interviews, speeches, memoirs and similar reference materials. -
Claudia Kuretsidis-Haider Johannes Laimighofer Siegfried Sanwald Auschwitz-Täter Und Die Österreichische Nachkriegsjustiz
www.doew.at – Dokumentationsarchiv des österreichischen Widerstandes (Hrsg.), Täter. Österreichische Akteure im Nationalsozialismus, Wien 2014 (= Jahrbuch 2014) 13 Claudia Kuretsidis-Haider Johannes Laimighofer Siegfried Sanwald Auschwitz-Täter und die österreichische Nachkriegsjustiz „Die Justiz und ihr schonender Umgang mit Nazis“1: So lautete im November 2013 eine Schlagzeile in der Tageszeitung Kurier. „Der Fall des Ex-KZ-Wäch- ters Johann H. aus dem Bezirk Eferding (OÖ) dürfte ein weiterer sein, bei dem ein mutmaßlicher NS-Täter von der Justiz nicht zur Rechenschaft gezogen wird.“ Johann H. war SS-Aufseher im KZ Auschwitz gewesen und hatte dort – wie er am 15. Mai 1978 im sechsten Frankfurter Auschwitz-Prozess2 gegen die SS- Männer Horst Czerwinski und Josef Schmidt im Zeugenstand aussagte – als Angehöriger der Wachkompanie des SS-Totenkopf-Sturmbannes Auschwitz „Dienst in der großen Postenkette beim Lager Birkenau versehen“.3 Die seit nunmehr über ein Jahr geführten Ermittlungen der Staatsanwalt- schaft Wels gegen Johann H. sind der bislang letzte Fall einer Reihe von justi- ziellen Untersuchungen in Österreich seit 1945 wegen Verbrechen im Komplex des Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslagers Auschwitz. Ob und inwieweit die Kritik des Kurier-Journalisten Jürgen Pachner an der österreichischen Justiz berechtigt ist, wird in diesem Beitrag nachgegangen. 2012/13 führte das DÖW das Projekt „Österreicher und Österreicherinnen als TäterInnen im Lagerkomplex des KZ Auschwitz“ durch, um für einen Teil- bereich der Neugestaltung der Österreichischen Gedenkstätte im Staatlichen 1 http://kurier.at/chronik/oberoesterreich/die-justiz-und-ihr-schonender-umgang-mit-nazis/ 37.238.527 (Download: 24. 11. 2013). 2 LG Frankfurt/M. 4 Js 773/70 Ks. 3 http://kurier.at/chronik/oberoesterreich/auschwitz-justiz-bremst-bei-verfahren-gegen-kz- waechter/36.542.507 (Download: 19. -
