  • Running Head: the TRAGEDY of DEPORTATION 1
    Running head: THE TRAGEDY OF DEPORTATION 1 The Tragedy of Deportation An Analysis of Jewish Survivor Testimony on Holocaust Train Deportations Connor Schonta A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Spring 2016 THE TRAGEDY OF DEPORTATION 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ David Snead, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Christopher Smith, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Mark Allen, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date THE TRAGEDY OF DEPORTATION 3 Abstract Over the course of World War II, trains carried three million Jews to extermination centers. The deportation journey was an integral aspect of the Nazis’ Final Solution and the cause of insufferable torment to Jewish deportees. While on the trains, Jews endured an onslaught of physical and psychological misery. Though most Jews were immediately killed upon arriving at the death camps, a small number were chosen to work, and an even smaller number survived through liberation. The basis of this study comes from the testimonies of those who survived, specifically in regard to their recorded experiences and memories of the deportation journey. This study first provides a brief account of how the Nazi regime moved from methods of emigration and ghettoization to systematic deportation and genocide. Then, the deportation journey will be studied in detail, focusing on three major themes of survivor testimony: the physical conditions, the psychological turmoil, and the chaos of arrival.

Abstract The following thesis looks at the subject of communist-oriented opposition in the GDR. More specifically, it considers how this phenomenon has been reconstructed in the state-mandated memory landscape of the Federal Republic of Germany since unification in 1990. It does so by presenting three case studies of particular representative value. The first looks at the former member of the Politbüro Paul Merker and how his entanglement in questions surrounding antifascism and antisemitism in the 1950s has become a significant trope in narratives of national (de-)legitimisation since 1990. The second delves into the phenomenon of the dissident through the aperture of prominent singer-songwriter, Wolf Biermann, who was famously exiled in 1976.

  • Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz
    Modes of Reading Texts, Objects, and Images: Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz by Olga Ponichtera A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto © Copyright by Olga Ponichtera 2015 Modes of Reading Texts, Objects, and Images: Late Poetry of Tadeusz Różewicz Olga Ponichtera Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation explores the late oeuvre of Tadeusz Różewicz (1921-2014), a world- renowned Polish poet, dramatist, and prose writer. It focuses primarily on three poetic and multi-genre volumes published after the political turn of 1989, namely: Mother Departs (Matka Odchodzi) (1999), professor’s knife (nożyk profesora) (2001), and Buy a Pig in a Poke: work in progress (Kup kota w worku: work in progress) (2008). The abovementioned works are chosen as exemplars of the writer’s authorial strategies / modes of reading praxis, prescribed by Różewicz for his ideal audience. These strategies simultaneously reveal the poet himself as a reader (of his own texts and the works of other authors). This study defines an author’s late style as a response to the cognitive and aesthetic evaluation of one’s life’s work, artistic legacy, and metaphysical angst of mortality. Różewicz’s late works are characterized by a tension between recognition and reconciliation to closure, and difficulty with it and/or opposition to it. Authorial construction of lyrical subjectivity as a reader, and modes of textual construction are the central questions under analysis. This study examines both, Tadeusz Różewicz as a reader, and the authorial strategies/ modes he creates to guide the reading praxis of the authorial audience.

  • This Thesis Examines the Rhetoric of East German Domestic and Foreign Politics and How the Issue of Race and Racism Was Handled
    This thesis examines the rhetoric of East German domestic and foreign politics and how the issue of race and racism was handled. It covers the time period from the early 1950s through the 1960s, while contextualizing East German politics with German politics of the Weimar and Nazi eras. Accounts of racism towards Jews, Slavs and groups from Africa, Latin America and South East Asia are examined. The thesis attempts to show that in the self-proclaimed anti-racist state of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), racism marked both domestic and foreign politics and greatly influenced the Cold War politics of East Germany. The racism that was tolerated and promoted in the early period of the GDR still influences Germany today. 1 I give permission for public access to my thesis and for any copying to be done at the discretion of the archives librarian and/or the College librarian.

Prerequisites Interest in the history of Germany and Berlin; interest in questions of public memory and urban design; motivation to engage with sites, their development, meaning and architecture; willingness to contribute to discussions during excursions as well as in class. Units earned 4 Course Description Berlin was a focal point of 20th century German, European, and international history. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the city has undergone profound transformation, redefining both its relationship with the past andSAMPLE its identity in the present. This course will introduce you to historical and contemporary Berlin by exploring key sites connected with the Imperial Germany, Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the division of Germany, as well as the post-Wall period. Organized chronologically, the course will give you the opportunity to gradually expand your knowledge of the city and its history. At the same time, a major focus will be the overlaying of past and present in Berlin’s cityscape and the processes of repurposing and memorialization that these illustrate. In addition to the spatial experience of the sites, we will use testimonial accounts, historiographical texts as well as artistic responses to critically engage with the palimpsest of Berlin’s urban structure.

With the support of international partner organizations, by the end of 2006 the Foundation had managed to distribute EUR 4.4 billion to 1.66 million former forced laborers and other victims of the Nazi regime in almost 100 countries. The Foundation EVZ supports international programs and projects with approximately EUR 7.5 million per year in the following activity areas: a critical examination of history, working for human rights, and a commitment to the victims of National Socialism. The Freudenberg Foundation was established in 1984 by members of the Freudenberg family. The Freudenberg Company was founded in the middle of the 19th century in Weinheim, Southern Germany, and now operates worldwide as a 100% family-owned group of com- panies. Because of their Jewish heritage, some members of the family were persecuted during National Socialism and had to flee Germany.
