Lund in November 2004 Klas-Giiran Karlsson & U!fZander PREFACE J KLAS-GÖRAN KARLSSON Making Sense of the Holocaust after Sixty Years An Introduction The burdens ofHolocaust history are immense because the Holocaust itself was immense. 1 This volume is produced within the scope of the research project 7he Holocaust and European Historical Culture, financed by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation since the autumn of 2001. The Foundation was also the main financial supporter of an international project conference called Echoes ojthe Holocaust, which took place at Lund University in May 2003. Most of the chapters included in this book are revised editions of papers presented at this conference. The organisers set the contributors the task of commenting upon articles written by schalars working within the research project and recendy published in the book Echoes ojthe Holocaust. Historical Cultures in Contemporary Europe. 2 Furthermore, the contributors to the confer­ ence were simultaneously asked to present an original piece of theo­ retical reflection and/or empirical research on the project topic, that is, on the position and the function of the Holocaust within various national historical cultures in Europe, including Israel. The confer­ ence participants originate from and are specialists on the national historical cultures of the countries they have written about, which, in addition to Israel, comprise Austria, Germany, Poland, the Scan­ dinavian countries and Slovakia. Only one of the contributors, the Danish historian Claus Bryld, did not take part in the conference. lnstead, he has submitted a revised version of a lecture that he deliv­ ered to the project members in the spring of 2003. MAKING SENSE OF THE HOLOCAUST 9 This brief description of the genesis of the present volume is suf­ ficient to indicate that it has not been conceived as a systematic, comparative history of how Holocaust history has been handled throughout post-war Europe. There are indeed same comparative gains to be made from a collective work like this on the aftermath of the Holocaust. The more modest intention of the book is to provide the reader with a few perspectives on how Holocaust history has been represented in various European countries, and why these particular representations have been made. The Holocaust and European Historical Culture The purpose of the entire research project The Holocaust and Europe­ an Historical Culture is to carry out a systematic, comprehensive and comparative study of the ways in which various European states and societies have confronted, and are still confronting, that part of twen­ tieth-century historywhich is perhaps the mast brutal and hardest to handle: the Nazi extermination of large segments of Europe's Jewish population and millions of others while the Second World War was in progress. The relevance of such a study to the contemporary situa­ tion is indisputable, and not only for those who have been personally affected by the genocide, as victims or as perpetrators. Today, issues involving culture, scholarship, morality, law, economics, and domes­ tic and foreign policy are intimately associated with the Holocaust in Europe and in large parts of the Western world. It goes without saying that the memory of the Holocaust has left a particularly strong imprint on Israel and Germany. The work of com­ ing to terms with this traumatic past, a process which in German has been coined Vergangenheitsbewältigung, has for decades had a special urgency in these states. As Dalia Ofer underlines in her contribu­ tion to this volume, Holocaust history is seminal in Israeli culture and politics. Basically, this probably stems from the conviction that Israeli Jews will never again be so defenceless and vulnerable as to be targeted for destruction. It should, however, be stressed that there was an ambiguous relationship to Holocaust memory in the early years of Israeli state-building. This ambiguity was due to a generally negative view on the Jewish diaspora experience among leading Israeli Zion­ ists such as David Ben-Gurion, and toa critical attitude towards the I0 HOLOCAUST HERITAGE lack ofJewish activism and resistance to the Nazi perpetrators in the Holocaust process. It was not until the arrest and trial ofAdolfEich­ mann in the early 1960s that the Holocaust started to receive con­ siderable public attention in Israel. From the Israeli side, Tim Cole has characterised the Eichmann trial as "a self-conscious attempt to bring awareness of the massacre of six million European Jews to both native-born Israeli youth and the wider world". 3 In Germany, questions ofboth the historical profundity and social breadth of the Nazi regime have stirred up much debate, not only in professional journals but also in the popular press and large-circula­ tion periodicals: Was the Nazi regime a historical aberration in inter­ war German history, or even a rather normal aspect ofa European civil war that was simultaneously acted out in Stalin's Soviet Union, or was it an integrated, yet until the interwar period mainly latent element in a German "special path" to modernity a Sonderweg? Was the Holo­ caust a result ofthe ideas and activities of a narrow circle ofmen in the Nazi party leadership and the criminal agencies of the regime, prima­ rily the SS and Gestapo, or was it rather the result of mass involve­ ment ofalso the rank and file ofthe mhrmacht? Was it, moreover, the result of a more or less primordial "eliminationist anti-Semitism" of large segments ofthe German population?4 Was the expulsion of mil­ lions of Germans from the east after the war just as monstrous a crime against humanity as the Nazi genocide against millions ofJews during thewar? 5 Many other states and societies have more recently, however, been engaged in working out a purposeful history-cultural relationship to the Holocaust. In countries that straddle the old iron curtain, coming to terms with the Nazi heritage goes hand in hand with a simultaneous settling of the score with the Communist heritage, a double emotional and intellectual mental operation in which victim and perpetrator roles are scrutinised anew in the light of a European future, far from the ideological certainties of the Cold War era. In this context, politicians, as other opinion-makers and schalars, while acknowledging the historical fact of the Holocaust, do not often miss the opportunity of giving prominence to the fact that Communists committed large-scale atrocities in the Soviet Union and its satellites for a much longer period than the Nazis perpetrated their genocide.

Pope-Obeda OTTOMAN MIGRANTS, U.S. DEPORTATION LAW, AND STATELESSNESS DURING THE INTERWAR ERA ~. ~~·W· INTRODUCTION In April 1933, Iaonnes Bardelis sat for a hearing with the United States Department of Labor Immigration Services at the Connecticut State Prison in Wethersfield, where he was serving a multiyear sentence. He had no legal counsel and apparently required no interpreter: he was fluent and literate in English, besides this possessing only some basic reading skills in Greek. Iaonnes had lived his entire adult life in the United States as John. He married an American-born Irish woman and had operated a restaurant in New York City. Having come to the United States with his late father around the age of ten, John was like many Eastern Mediterranean migrants who eventually obtained U.S. citizenship. The hearing concerned his deportation for violation of the Immigration Act ofl917: "to wit: that he has been sentenced, subsequent to May 1, 1917, to imprisonment more than once for a term of one year or more for the commission subsequent to entry of a crime involving moral turpitude, to wit: carnal abuse of a female child, and indecent assault." As a convicted criminal guilty of multiple sexual assaults over the course of a decade, John was among the most clearly eligible migrants slated for deportation during the period.

Ottoman soldiers and their Kurdish and Persian militia partners subjected hundreds of thousands of Assyrians to a deliberate and systematic campaign of massacre, torture, abduction, deportation, impoverishment, and cultural and ethnic destruction. Established principles of international law outlawed this war of extermination against Ottoman Christian civilians before it was embarked upon, and ample evidence of genocidal intent has surfaced in the form of admissions by Ottoman officials. Nevertheless, the international community has been hesitant to recognize the Assyrian experience as a form of genocide.

  • Key Findings Many European Union Governments Are Rehabilitating World War II Collaborators and War Criminals While Minimisin
    This first-ever report rating individual European Union countries on how they face up their Holocaust pasts was published on January 25, 2019 to coincide with UN Holocaust Remembrance Day. Researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges travelled throughout Europe to conduct the research. Representatives from the European Union of Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) have endorsed their work. Key Findings ● Many European Union governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. ● Revisionism is worst in new Central European members - Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Lithuania. ● But not all Central Europeans are moving in the wrong direction: two exemplary countries living up to their tragic histories are the Czech Republic and Romania. The Romanian model of appointing an independent commission to study the Holocaust should be duplicated. ● West European countries are not free from infection - Italy, in particular, needs to improve. ● In the west, Austria has made a remarkable turn-around while France stands out for its progress in accepting responsibility for the Vichy collaborationist government. ● Instead of protesting revisionist excesses, Israel supports many of the nationalist and revisionist governments. By William Echikson As the world marks the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, European governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. This Holocaust Remembrance Project finds that Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Baltics are the worst offenders. Driven by feelings of victimhood and fears of accepting refugees, and often run by nationalist autocratic governments, these countries have received red cards for revisionism.

    Timeline Jump to: 1914-1933 1934-1939 1940-1945 View as timeline 8/1/1914 World War I Begins Following the crisis touched off by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo, Germany declared war on Russia and additional countries joined the war within several days. The Central Powers (Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire) fought against the Allied powers (Great Britain, France, and Russia). In November 1914, Turkey sided with the Central Powers; in 1915, Italy joined the Allies. 4/24/1915 The Armenian Genocide In the first year of World War I, in the course of war between Turkey and Russia in the Armenian provinces of Turkey, the Turks questioned the Armenians' loyalties and drove them out of their homes. At least 1 million Armenians, about half of the Armenian population in Turkey, were murdered in the expulsion by the Turks. 11/2/1917 Balfour Declaration The British Foreign Secretary, Lord Arthur James Balfour, proclaimed Britain's support of the creation of a national home for the Jews in Palestine. This declaration, given after British forces had already taken control of the southern part of Palestine and were about to occupy its north, transformed the Zionist vision into a political program that seemed attainable. 11/7/1917 Communist Revolution in Russia In response to Russia's defeat on the front, Czar Nicholas II was dethroned in a revolution in March 1917 and a new government of mixed liberal-conservative complexion came into being. As political deadlock and defeats on the front continued, the socialists gained in popularity and their radical wing, the Bolshevik party, under Lenin, called for immediate peace and apportionment of land to the peasants.

  • The Role of Turkish Press in the 1934 Thrace Jewish Immigration
    International Journal of Social Sciences and Education Research IJ§ER Online, http://dergipark.gov.tr/ijsser ISSN: 2149-5939 Volume: 1(3), 2015 1934 Trakya Yahudi göçünde Türk basınının rolü The role of Turkish press in the 1934 Thrace Jewish immigration Sezen Kılıç1 Received Date: 07 / 10 / 2015 Accepted Date: 26/ 11 / 2015 Öz 1934 Trakya Olayları olarak bilinen ve 21 Haziran 1934’te başlayıp 4 Temmuz’da sona eren eylemlerde Yahudi- lere ait dükkân ve evler yağmalanmış ve bunun sonucunda binlerce Yahudi evlerini terk ederek İstanbul’a göç etmek zorunda kalmıştır. Olaylara müdahale etmeye çalışan bir jandarma askerinin ölümü dışında hiçbir ölümlü vakanın meydana gelmediği bu şiddet ve yağmalama eylemleri, Çanakkale’de önce Yahudi esnafın mallarını boy- kotla başlamış ve kısa sürede diğer Trakya şehirlerine yayılmıştır. Olayların yatışmasının ardından İstanbul’a göç etmiş bulunan Yahudilerin büyük bir kısmı Trakya’ya geri dönmüşlerse de aynı olayları tekrar yaşama endişesi onların bir süre sonra ilkin yurt dışına, İsrail’in kuruluşundan sonra ise bu devlete göç etmelerine neden olmuştur. Trakya’da Yahudilere yönelik bu eylemlerin çıkmasının aslında bir ulus devlet yaratma bilinciyle çıkartılmış olan 14 Haziran 1934 tarihli ve 2510 sayılı İskân Kanunu’nun yanlış anlaşılmasından kaynaklandığı, bunun yanında başta Milli İnkılâp dergisinde Cevat Rıfat Atilhan’ın, Orhun dergisinde Nihal Atsız’ın ve diğer Türk basınında çıkan Yahudi karşıtı yazıların da etkili olduğu ileri sürülmüştür. O dönem Türk basınında çıkan bu yazılarda Ocak 1933’te Almanya’da Hitler’in iktidara gelmesiyle Avrupa’da başlayan ve çok çabuk diğer ülkelere yayılan Yahudi karşıtı eylemlerin etkili olduğu iddia edilmiştir. Trakya Yahudi göçünün nasıl olduğu ve sonuçları hakkında Tür- kiye’de birçok eser mevcut olmasına rağmen konuyla ilgili sadece Türk basınının tavrını ve etkisini ortaya koyan bir çalışma mevcut değildir.

Although he used to pride himself on never having read anything that was written about his life or his work, I am sure he would have read it from beginning to end. This is because it is a book of imaginative erudition, or erudite fantasy, an unusual combination which he used with greater originality than anyone else, so that the genre, though of the greatest antiquity, seems now almost to have been invented by him. Like the strange sect of 'Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' which wished secretly to interpolate a fictitious universe into the real one, Borges too, throughout his life as a writer, sought to distil beings, titles and events which his fantasy had forged into the history and literature of reality.
