    MORT1943 ET RÉSISTANCE BIEN QU’AYANT rarement connu les noms de leurs victimes juives, les nazis entendaient que ni Zivia Lubetkin, ni Richard Glazar, ni Thomas Blatt ne survivent à la « solution finale ». Ils survécurent cependant et, après la Shoah, chacun écrivit un livre sur la Résistance en 1943. Quelque 400 000 Juifs vivaient dans le ghetto de Varsovie surpeuplé, mais les épi- démies, la famine et les déportations à Treblinka – 300 000 personnes entre juillet et septembre 1942 – réduisirent considérablement ce nombre. Estimant que 40 000 Juifs s’y trouvaient encore (le chiffre réel approchait les 55 000), Heinrich Himmler, le chef des SS, ordonna la déportation de 8 000 autres lors de sa visite du ghetto, le 9 janvier 1943. Cependant, sous la direction de Mordekhaï Anielewicz, âgé de 23 ans, le Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa (ZOB, Organisation juive de combat) lança une résistance armée lorsque les Allemands exécutèrent l’ordre d’Himmler, le 18 janvier. Bien que plus de 5 000 Juifs aient été déportés le 22 janvier, la Résistance juive – elle impliquait aussi bien la recherche de caches et le refus de s’enregistrer que la lutte violente – empêcha de remplir le quota et conduisit les Allemands à mettre fin à l’Aktion. Le répit, cependant, fut de courte durée. En janvier, Zivia Lubetkin participa à la création de l’Organisation juive de com- bat et au soulèvement du ghetto de Varsovie. « Nous combattions avec des gre- nades, des fusils, des barres de fer et des ampoules remplies d’acide sulfurique », rapporte-t-elle dans son livre Aux jours de la destruction et de la révolte.

  • A World Without Survivors
    February 6, 2014 Meredith Jacobs, Editor-in-Chief A World Without Survivors The youngest survivor of the Holocaust is now a senior. We are quickly approaching the time when they all will have passed, when no one will be left to roll up his sleeve and point to numbers tattooed upon his arm and say, “I was there. This is my story.” What will the world be like then? The world with no survivors. We asked this question to a child of survivors, a student, a social worker, a historian, an archivist and a survivor. Their answers follow in a moving tribute to those who will never be forgotten Mindy Weisel Artist, daughter of survivors Every week my father, a survivor of Auschwitz, a remarkable 88-year-old who still lives in the tight-knit Holocaust survivors’ community in Los Angeles, calls me in Jerusalem to say “Shabbat Shalom.” Then he tells me who is “no longer with us.” I experienced the death of the “last survivor” when my mother died. She was the only one in her family who had survived the war. With her dying, every thread that tied me to the family she kept alive was gone. My mother, who did not speak much, did speak of the beauty before the war: her generous parents; her brothers and sisters; what it was like in der hym – in her home. She did not speak of the brutalities of the war. And, when she wept, it was one tear at a time. Had she ever allowed herself to truly cry, she never would have stopped.

  • Peter Bergson:” Historical Memory and a Forgotten Holocaust Hero
    Making “Peter Bergson:” Historical Memory and a Forgotten Holocaust Hero By Emily J. Horne B.A. May 2000, The George Washington University A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of The George Washington University in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts January 31, 2009 Thesis directed by Dina R. Khoury Associate Professor of History and International Affairs For my parents, Pamela and Stephen, and for my sister, Jennifer… who remind me every day to seek out “story potential.” ii Acknowledgements I am endlessly indebted to my brilliant committee members. Dina Khoury first introduced me to memory studies at the beginning of my graduate career and I would not have finished this process without her guidance, enthusiasm and advice. Many thanks to Walter Reich for all his anecdotes and legends that never appeared in the history books, and for calming me down when the work seemed overwhelming. Every young woman graduate student should be lucky enough to have a role model like Hope Harrison, who first introduced me to the twin joys of contemporary Holocaust memory and spargel season in Berlin. I have been deeply privileged to have these three scholars as readers and advisers for this thesis. Also from the GWU History Department I would like to thank Leo Ribuffo, who taught the first history class of my undergraduate career and inspired me to stay for another eight years. Director Geri Rypkema of the Office of Graduate Assistantships and Fellowships has been a wonderful supervisor and friend through much of my graduate career.

While it is sometimes painful to plan ahead for the parting of a loved one, it is nonetheless wise for veterans and their families to ease the transition during this time by collecting important information now. This document serves as a checklist for veterans and their families in obtaining this information including access to current forms, military data, burial benefits and other official documents which may be required to satisfy U.S. Veterans’ Affairs, as well as insurance companies, the Social Security Administration and others. There are seven sections in this document: Section I: Veteran’s personal data. Section II: Checklist to use at time of the veteran’s passing. Section III: A list of official documents needed to submit claims for VA benefits, a list of useful veteran’s contacts, a summary of veteran burial honors and a form for miscellaneous data.

  • What Did American Faith Communities Stand For?
    What Did American Faith Communities Stand For? PROGRAM GUIDE The rise of National Socialism in Germany and the ensuing terror raised profound theological and ethical questions for people of all faiths. This program explores the varying responses of American faith leaders and communities to the rise of National Socialism in Germany, ranging from who was complicit with Nazi Germany and who spoke out against Nazi Germany. It also highlights how some faith leaders inspired members in their communities and beyond. VISUAL SLIDE # DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND NOTES I.

  • Primary Sources
    Primary Sources Personal Interviews Federman, Micheline. “Personal Phone Interview.” 26 Jan. 2019. We had the opportunity to interview Holocaust survivor, Micheline Federman, who spent time in Le Chambon. Micheline spoke about how she was very young during her time in Le Chambon, and how her memories from that time period still impact her today. She also discussed how she immigrated to America after the war, became a pathologist, and eventually a professor at Harvard University. This interview added to our project, as it revealed the triumph brought about through Le Chambon, not just through saving lives, but also in the work of the survivors after the war. Feigl, Peter. “Personal Skype Interview.” 5 Dec. 2018. We were fortunate to be able to speak with Peter Feigl, a Jewish Holocaust survivor who spent time in Le Chambon. He was one of the 3,500 Jews who were saved from deportation to concentration camps by the people of Le Chambon. Mr. Feigl shared personal stories about his time there, as well as explaining his parent's decision to send him to an American Quaker camp, in an effort to hide his Jewish ancestry. This interview was a great addition to our project because it gave us a broader understanding of what life for the Jewish children was like during their stay in Le Chambon, and just how much personal tragedy many of the Jewish children experienced during their fight to survive. Feigl, Peter. “Personal Email Interview.” 30 Jan. 2019. After speaking with Peter Feigl over Skype, we had a few more questions about his career after the war.
