Abel Herzberg, Jacques Presser en Loe de Jong over de jodenvervolging. Meulenhoff, Amsterdam 1998 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/kris004gesc01_01/colofon.htm © 2007 dbnl / Conny Kristel 7 Woord vooraf Wie een boek schrijft over de jodenvervolging heeft veel uit te leggen. Wanneer ik de afgelopen jaren vertelde waar ik mee bezig was, vroeg menigeen verbaasd en nieuwsgierig hoe ik tot dit onderwerp gekomen was. Vervolgens voelden mensen die de oorlog min of meer bewust hebben meegemaakt zich vrijwel altijd geroepen mij deelgenoot te maken van hun herinneringen aan de oorlogsjaren. Leeftijdgenoten - ik werd geboren in 1955 - reageerden opvallend vaak ongeduldig of zelfs geprikkeld. Sommigen van hen legden me uit dat ook niet-joden geleden hebben onder de oorlog. Anderen meenden dat er inmiddels wel genoeg over het lot van de joden was geschreven. Nu krijgt elke contemporain historicus te maken met uitgesproken meningen en opvattingen van tijdgenoten. Maar het lijkt me duidelijk dat het onderwerp van dit boek uitzonderlijke reacties teweegbrengt. Wat Bram de Swaan in 1965 opmerkte over de respons op Pressers Ondergang, geldt kennelijk nog steeds en ook voor mijn boek: de mensen zitten er erg mee. Dit verklaart misschien dat mij behalve naar mijn motivatie verder nauwelijks iets werd gevraagd. Mijn belangstelling voor de nasleep van de jodenvervolging dateert uit mijn studietijd. In 1987 schreef ik een doctoraalscriptie over de repatriëring van Nederlandse overlevenden uit de Duitse concentratiekampen. Nadien ben ik me blijven verdiepen in de gevolgen van de perfect georganiseerde massamoord, vooral op het leven en denken van de overlevenden.

  • The German Exile Literature and the Early Novels of Iris Mur- Doch
    University of Szeged Faculty of Arts Doctoral Dissertation The German Exile Literature and the Early Novels of Iris Mur- doch Dávid Sándor Szőke Supervisors: Dr. Zoltán Kelemen Dr. Anna Kérchy 2021 Acknowledgements I have a great number of people to thank for their support throughout this thesis, whether this support has been academic, financial, or spiritual. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr Zoltán Kelemen and Dr Anna Kérchy for their unending help, encouragement and faith in me during my research. Their knowledge about the Holocaust, 20th century English woman writers and minorities has given exceptional depth to my understanding of Murdoch, Steiner, Canetti and Adler. The eye-opening essays and lectures by Dr Peter Weber about the Romanian painter and Holocaust survivor Arnold Daghani’s time in England provided a genesis for this thesis. Had it not for him, I would not have thought about putting Murdoch’s thinking in the context of Cen- tral European refugee literature and culture during and after the Second World War. This thesis owes much to the 2017 Holocaust Conference in Szeged (19 October) and the 2019 International Holocaust Conference in Halle (14-16 November). I would like to express my gratitude to the March of the Living Hungary, the Holocaust Memorial Centre Budapest, the Memory Point of Hódmezővásárhely, the synagogues of Szeged and Hódmezővásárhely, Professor Werner Nell (Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg), Professor Thomas Bremer (Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg), Professor Sue Vice (University of Shef- field), and Dr Zoltán Kelemen for making these events possible. During my PhD, as part of the Erasmus ++ programme I spent an entire year at Martin- Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, where I made a great deal of research about the German coming to terms with the past.

  • Central Europe
    Central Europe Federal Republic of Germany Domestic Affairs AN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC terms, 1984 was relatively stable, al- though not without its share of troubling events. On the economic front, the gross national output rose by 2.6 percent, while the cost-of-living increase—2.4 percent —was the lowest since 1969. Unemployment, however, stood at 9 percent. The slight upward trend of the West German economy was slowed by lengthy strikes during the second quarter of the year. A scandal involving high government officials plagued the government of Chan- cellor Helmut Kohl throughout much of the year, producing considerable public unrest. Investigations by a parliamentary committee and the public prosecutor led to allegations of bribery, influence peddling, and tax evasion involving the huge Flick industrial concern and major political figures. West German economics minis- ter Otto Graf Lambsdorff resigned in June, just before being indicted for accepting bribes from Flick to arrange tax waivers. (He was succeeded by his Free Democratic party colleague Martin Bangemann.) Bundestag president Rainer Barzel resigned in October, in the wake of similar accusations. (Philipp Jenninger, also a Christian Democratic leader, was elected his successor in November.) Court proceedings were initiated against other leading personalities, in business as well as politics. In connection with public criticism of Flick's substantial political payoffs, spokes- men for Nazi victims and anti-Nazi groups recalled that the Flick concern had made large donations to the Nazi party and had refused to pay indemnity to World War II slave laborers. In May former mayor of West Berlin and Christian Democratic leader Richard von Weizsacker was chosen as the sixth president of the Federal Republic, succeed- ing Karl Carstens, who had been elected in 1979.

  • Central Europe
    Central Europe Federal Republic of Germany Domestic Affairs A HE ECONOMIC RECESSION continued in 1975. The gross national prod- uct fell by 3.6 per cent. The average price rise for the year was 6 per cent. The number of unemployed remained almost as high as before: over one million, or 5.3 per cent, at year's end. Politically, the year saw efforts by the Socialist-Liberal government-coalition parties in Bonn to consolidate their position, and by the opposition parties to broaden their bases in preparation for the 1976 Bundestag elections. The Social Democratic party (SPD) had some further losses; but the sharp trend away from it in the previous year was almost arrested, mainly because of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt's energetic leadership. The Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) opposition charged the coalition with incompetence and lack of initiative in foreign policy, and even more in economic affairs, but offered no alternative program of its own. It was involved in internal power struggles, primarily over the choice of a candidate for chancellor to head its ticket in 1976. It finally chose as its candidate Helmut Kohl, prime minister of Rhineland-Palatinate and CDU chairman, in preference to CSU chairman Franz-Josef Strauss. The results of the state legislative elections were as follows: In Rhineland-Palati- nate, on March 9, CDU received 53.9 per cent of the vote (50 per cent in 1971); SPD, 38.5 per cent (40.5 in 1971) and its coalition partner, the Free Democratic party (FDP), 5.6 per cent (5.9 in 1971); the ultra-right National Democratic party (NPD), 1.1 (2.7 in 1971); the German Communist party (DKP), 0.5 per cent (0.9 in 1971).

  • Julius Von Schlosser, the Vienna School of the History of Art - Review of a Century of Austrian Scholarship in German1
    Julius von Schlosser, The Vienna school of the history of art - review of a century of Austrian scholarship in German1 Translated and edited by Karl Johns Members of the profession are immediately aware of what is meant with the expression ‘Vienna School:’ the center for art historical teaching, closely related to the Austrian ‘école des chartes’, organized by Theodor von Sickel, and today called the ‘II. Kunsthistorisches Institut der Universität Wien’ (‘second department of the history of art in the University of Vienna’) – a designation only ten years old and in no way expressive of chronology or quality, as only those completely ignorant of academic customs might require reminding. Austrian daily newspapers have especially recently published repeated reports that might lead to a complete misunderstanding of the situation. For this reason, and since many specialists are barely aware of the history of this respected ‘school’ which has produced so many distinguished scholars, we offer a brief sketch of its origins and development. It has been almost completely forgotten that it originated in the period of German Romanticism and that its nearly century-old history represents a considerable chapter in the history of German language scholarship and intellectual history in Austria. Josef Daniel Böhm and his Circle Its ‘prehistory’ in fact began with a very remarkable figure of the period before the Revolution of 1848: the medalist Josef Daniel Böhm († 1865), born 1794 in an old German language colony in the eastern Slovak Zips region, and a pupil of the well- known classicistic sculptor Franz Zauner, who is known so well to all Viennese by his equestrian portrait of the Emperor Joseph II that still stands in one of the unscathed beautiful city squares before the former Imperial Library.

  • Wilhelm Unger Geboren 4
    Wilhelm Unger geboren 4. Juni 1904 in Hohensalza gestorben 19. Dezember1985 in Köln Wer war dieser Mensch, Wilhelm Unger, dieser leidenschaftliche Kölner, dieser im NAZI-Deutschland – auch als Humanist – verunglimpfte Jude, hinter dessen klugen Augen ein ganzer Kosmos verborgen war? Wilhelm Unger war nachdem er 1956 aus der englischen Emigration nach Köln zurückgekehrt war so etwas wie eine Institution, nicht nur in Journalisten- und Literatenkreisen (seiner eigentlichen Heimat) auch als Theaternarr, Musikliebhaber, Philosoph, tiefgründiger Kenner und Ausleger psychologischer Phänomene in der Nachfolge C.G. Jung’s, Hermann Hesses, überhaupt großer Denker in der Geistesgeschichte der Menschheit. Nicht zuletzt war er gesellschaftlicher Mittelpunkt, in seiner Kölner Wohnung in Ehrenfeld mit Domblick – das eigentliche Kölner „Litteraturhaus“, bevor dies lange nach seinem Tod offiziell gegründet wurde. Zur Erinnerung an diese Persönlichkeit, der jetzt 100 Jahre alt wäre, hielt der Kölner Architekt Peter Busman am22. April 2004 in der Begegnungsstätte Alte Synagoge in Wuppertal einen Vortrag, den wir hier veröffentlichen. „Was gäbe ich darum, seinen kritischen Kommentar zu Geist und Arbeit dieses Instituts zu hören. Unvergesslich das kleine Plakat auf seiner Wohnungstür mit den Worten: „Venedig ist auch nicht größer als Ehrenfeld“. Ich behaupte, dass Wilhelm Unger so viele Seiten hatte wie es Menschen gab, die ihm begegnet sind und noch viel mehr. Mir selbst war er in Köln schon seit dem ich mit meiner Frau 1958 nach Köln gekommen war als Theaterkritiker ein Begriff, auch als Förderer kleiner Theater, so des THEATER DER KELLER, wo meine Frau ab Mitte der 60er Jahre die Schauspielkunst bei Marianne Jentgens lernte, u.a. zusammen mit Jürgen Flimm, dessen überragende Begabung Wilhelm Unger als erster erkannte.

  • Central Europe
    Central Europe Federal Republic of Germany Domestic Affairs J_/LECTION LOSSES AND internal government scandals in 1985 presented Chancellor Helmut Kohl with the biggest setbacks he had faced since taking office in 1982. Even his coveted "reconciliation" meeting with U.S. president Ronald Reagan at Bitburg in May, surrounded as it was by controversy, failed to bolster his sagging popularity. In two important state elections, Kohl's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) lost to the left-of-center Social Democratic party (SPD). In the Saarland on March 10 the SPD won 49.2 percent of the vote, followed by the CDU (37.3 percent), the Free Democratic party (FDP) (10 percent), and the Greens party (2.5 percent). State elections in North Rhine-Westphalia on May 12 were swept by the ruling SPD, which obtained an absolute majority (52.1 percent), followed by CDU (36.5 percent), FDP (6 percent), and the Greens (4.6 percent). The newly elected head of North Rhine-Westphalia, Johannes Rau, was nominated by the SPD to run against Kohl for the chancellorship in the 1987 general elections. Kohl's prestige was further shaken by an espionage scandal and by continuing revelations of corruption and illegal tax deals involving both political parties and prominent individuals. Otto Graf LambsdorfF, the West German economic minister who was forced to resign in 1984, went on trial in Bonn, together with his predeces- sor, Hans Friderichs, and former Flick manager Eberhard von Brauchitsch, on charges of bribery and corruption. The trial continued into 1986. The announcement in December by Friedrich Karl Flick that the industrial conglomerate he headed would be taken over by Deutsche Bank, the state's largest financial institution, for DM 5 billion, reopened the issue of Flick's failure to make good on his promise to pay 5 to 8 million marks as indemnification to former Jewish slave workers in Flick enterprises during World War II.

Introduction In 1947 the archivist of the south-western city of Constance noted an unprecedented turn to the concept of Heimat, the German term for local and regional places of home. Heimat values, he argued, ‘are today, amidst the collapse of so many other basic principles, more valuable than they ever were in peaceful times’.1 Others in the region made similar statements and discussed how Heimat offered new opportunities for postwar lives as well as values including ‘Swabian- Alemannic democracy’, ‘Swabian openness to the world’ (Weltoffenheit), ‘Baden ‘democracy’ and ‘Baden openness to the world’.2 This pattern was hardly unique to the south-west. Seven hundred kilometres to the north, in the Hanseatic cities, local citizens, authors and officials noted that ‘glowing love’ of Heimat reached greater heights in the ruins than in times of the city’s ‘blossoming’.3 Localists of the Hanseatic cities discussed their hometowns as representing their ‘desire to live’ and wrote of how Hanseatic ‘democracy’ and ‘openness to the world’ would shape a new era.4 Turning to another region, we find a remarkably similar pattern in the Rhenish city of Cologne, the subject of this study.
