Marianne Cohn Et Son Action De Résistance
Ruth Fivaz-Silbermann Historienne, Genève Marianne Cohn et son action résistante L'action L'action de Marianne Cohn à la frontière franco-suisse s'inscrit dans le travail de la Résistance juive au plan d'extermination des nazis. Marianne fait partie d'un réseau créé au printemps 1942, appelé «Mouvement de la Jeunesse sioniste». Ce réseau procure des caches et des faux papiers aux juifs étrangers ou français, menacés sur tout le territoire d'arrestation et de déportation, parce qu'ils sont juifs. Il travaille en étroite collaboration avec le réseau des Eclaireurs israélites de France. Leur objectif principal est de sauver des enfants et des adolescents juifs, notamment en les faisant passer en Suisse. La Suisse a autorisé, fin 1943, l'arrivée de 1'500 enfants juifs de France. Après avoir travaillé à Moissac, à Nice et à Grenoble, Marianne, qui a 21 ans, est chargée début 1944 par son réseau de convoyer des groupes d'enfants et de jeunes vers la Suisse, à la frontière genevoise. Elle travaille sous les ordres de Simon Lévitte, chef du mouvement, et d'Emmanuel «Mola» Racine, chef du service de passage en Suisse et frère de Mila Racine, qui a été arrêtée sur cette même frontière le 21 octobre précédent. L’équipe compte cinq ou six résistants, dont Hélène Bloch, Rolande Birgy et Colette Dufournet. Mais Marianne sera la plus active: elle convoie neuf groupes d'enfants en avril et mai 1944, soit 207 enfants au total. Hélas, elle est arrêtée le 31 mai 1944, avec les 32 enfants de son dernier convoi. -

The Hunt for the Holy Wheat Grail: a Not So 'Botanical' Expedition in 1935
The Hunt for the Holy Wheat Grail: A not so ‘botanical’ expedition in 1935 Author : Thomas Ruttig Published: 20 July 2015 Downloaded: 6 September 2018 Download URL: https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/the-hunt-for-the-holy-wheat-grail-a-not-so-botanical-expedition- in-1935/?format=pdf AAN has just reported about an area in Central Afghanistan, the Shah Foladi in the Koh-e Baba mountain range, that was recently declared a new conservation area for its botanical diversity. This reminded AAN’s co-director Thomas Ruttig of a first ‘botanical’ expedition – 80 years ago, in 1935 – to another isolated mountainous region of Afghanistan: Nuristan. It was organised by Germany, and it was the first scientific expedition allowed into the country by the Afghan government after the reign of Amanullah (apart from the Délégation Archéologique Française en Afghanistan (DAFA) that came in 1922 by request of the Afghan government). But the German Nazi regime was not only after plants. On the morning of 28 May [1935], we depart from Kabul. A last piece of luggage is handed onto the lorry, a last rope tied. Undecided we stand in the garden of the German legation. Maybe, 1 / 8 we shall return in two weeks as the defeated heroes. ‘Inshallah’, God willing, we shall succeed. The route leads parallel to the northern slopes of the Safid Koh. It is a powerful landscape of gravel, folded and jagged, traces of ice age flows. Over depressions and heights, the road leads, soon down into the bed of a dried out river, then up again into altitudes of more than 3000 meters. -

Rescue by Jews During the Holocaust Solidarity in a Disintegrating World
Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day 2020 Rescue by Jews during the Holocaust Solidarity in a Disintegrating World “UNTO EVERY PERSON THERE IS A NAME” Aron Menczer (center) on deck with a group of Jewish youth from Vienna, whom he rescued and brought to Eretz Israel, February 1939 Ghetto Fighters’ House Photo Archive Jerusalem, Nissan 5780 April 2020 “Unto Every Person There Is A Name” Public Recitation of Names of Holocaust Victims in Israel and Abroad on Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day “Unto every person there is a name, given to him by God and by his parents”, wrote the Israeli poetess Zelda. Every single victim of the Holocaust had a name. The vast number of Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust – some six million men, women and children - is beyond human comprehension. We are therefore liable to lose sight of the fact that each life that was brutally ended belonged to an individual, a human being endowed with feelings, thoughts, ideas and dreams whose entire world was destroyed, and whose future was erased. The annual recitation of names of victims on Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day is one way of posthumously restoring the victims’ names, of commemorating them as individuals. We seek in this manner to honor the memory of the victims, to grapple with the enormity of the murder, and to combat Holocaust denial and distortion. This year marks the 31st anniversary of the global Shoah memorial initiative “Unto Every Person There Is A Name”, held annually under the auspices of the President of the State of Israel. -

As the Leo Baeck Institute in London had for many years been occupied with the problem, representation and analysis of Jewish self-defence and Jewish resistance, I had been invited to speak at this ceremony. -

The Author(s) 2016 Reprints and permissions: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav in the Eyes of the DOI: 10.1177/0022009416647118 Spanish Blue Division journals.sagepub.com/home/jch soldiers, 1941–4 Xose´ M. Nu´n˜ez Seixas Ludwig-Maximilians-Universita¨t, Munich, Germany Abstract The Spanish ‘Blue Division’ has received significant historiographical and literary atten- tion. Most research has focused on diplomacy and the role of the Division in fostering diplomatic relations between Spain and Germany during the Second World War. However, the everyday experience of Spanish soldiers on the Eastern Front, the occu- pation policy of the Blue Division and its role in the Nazi war of extermination remain largely unexplored. It is commonly held that the Spanish soldiers displayed more benign behaviour towards the civilian population than did the Germans. Although this tendency can generally be confirmed, Spanish soldiers were known for stealing, requisitioning and occasional acts of isolated violence; and also for the almost complete absence of col- lective, organized retaliation. Yet how did Spanish soldiers perceive the enemy, particu- larly Soviet civilians? To what degree did the better behaviour of Spanish occupying forces towards the civilian population reflect a different view of the enemy, which differed from that of most German soldiers? Keywords Blue Division, Eastern Front, Fascism, image of the enemy, Second World War, war violence The Divisio´n Espan˜ola de Voluntarios, or Spanish Division of Volunteers, was set up by the Franco Regime in early summer 1941, to take part in the Russian cam- paign as a unit integrated in the German Wehrmacht. -
