AWARENESS – RESPONSIBILITY – FUTURE International Education Conference the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum 4Th-5Th July 2017 AWARENESS – RESPONSIBILITY – FUTURE International Education Conference The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum 4th-5th July 2017 Events related to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Oświęcim were organized under the auspices of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland prof. dr. hab. Piotr Gliński DRAFT 1 AWARENESS – RESPONSIBILITY – FUTURE INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE THE AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU STATE MUSEUM 4-5 JULY 2017 DRAFT Conference goals and objectives: The knowledge that was given to us by Witnesses obliges us to launch a debate on challenges in education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust that we face at present and will be facing in the future. The Conference will be attended by prominent intellectuals as well as representatives of the memorial sites and museums from all over the world who encourage reflection on the present state and importance of historical education at memorial sites. The program encompasses presentations including the results of the most recent research and good practice. The 70th anniversary of the foundation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in July 2017 will be an inspiration not only for the evaluation of the current educational activity, but also an attempt to reflect on the message of Auschwitz and the Holocaust, its timeliness and significance for the contemporary generations. It is therefore worth undertaking a critical review of the methodological guidelines and practice in education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust as well as posing a question how it will be developed and implemented in the future. The international debate is an opportunity to emphasize the role of Auschwitz and other museums and memorial sites play in shaping the historical awareness of the young generation and adults to disseminate the knowledge, promote the attitudes of social responsibility and prevent the crime of genocide. Issues: The main areas of concern are: Auschwitz Message – Particularism Versus Universalism Modern Representations and Reception of Auschwitz Witnesses of History as Memory Depositaries Carriers of Memory and New Technologies Visits at the Memorial Sites as Exceptional Educational Experience Shoah – Challenge for the Future Conference languages: English and Polish Organizer: The International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum 2 AWARENESS – RESPONSIBILITY – FUTURE INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE THE AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU STATE MUSEUM 4-5 JULY 2017 DRAFT 4 JULY 2017 09:30 CONFERENCE OPENING Dr. Piotr M.A. Cywiński, Director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum 10:00 - 12:30 INAUGURATION PANEL Since Auschwitz nothing has happened that would prevent another Auschwitz from happening again.

The short outline of the camp’s wartime history is followed by sections concerning the post-war site’s use and commemoration, the forming of the Museum, concepts of its shape, and contemporary challenges to its activities. The selected Museum’s structures were discussed: the archives, exhibitions, research, collections, conservation and visitor services departments.

  • Music in Concentration Camps 1933 Music In
    Music in Concentration Camps 19331933––––19451945 GUIDO FACKLER Translated from the German by Peter Logan (Würzburg) It would be wrong to reduce the “Music of the Shoah” (Holocaust/ churbn ) to the Yiddish songs from the ghetto camps of Eastern Europe or to the multiple activities in the realm of classical or Jewish music found in the ghetto camp at Theresienstadt (Terezín), which of course enjoyed a special status as a model camp. It would be equally wrong to restrict our view of music in concentration camps to the “Moorsoldatenlied” (“The Peat Bog Soldiers”), the “Buchenwald Song,” the “Dachau Song,” or the so-called “Girls’ Orchestra in Auschwitz,” described by Fania Fénelon – also the subject of the Hollywood film entitled “Playing for Time”. 1 Instead of this, I wish to address the topic of musical activities in general in the concentration camps. 2 Thus this chapter is about those camps that the Nazi regime started to erect just a few weeks after Hitler’s assumption of power; these camps formed the seed from which the entire system of Nazi camps grew, and which eventually consisted of over 10,000 camps of various kinds. 3 In fact music was an integral part of camp life in almost all the Nazi-run camps. The questions covered by my research include: how was it possible to play music in these camps? What musical forms developed there? What, under these circumstances was the function, the effect and the significance of music for both the suffering inmates and the guards who inflicted the suffering? And how was the extent of musical activities affected by the development of the concentration camp system? My research is based on extensive archive work, the study of memoirs and literature, and interviews with witnesses.

Interpreting and translating in Nazi concentration camps during World War II Małgorzata Tryuk University of Warsaw, Poland [email protected] This article investigates translation and interpreting in a conflict situation with reference to the Nazi concentration camps during World War II. In particular, it examines the need for such services and the duties and the tasks the translators and the interpreters were forced to execute. It is based on archival material, in particular the recollections and the statements of former inmates collected in the archives of concentration camps. The ontological narratives are compared with the cinematic figure of Marta Weiss, a camp interpreter, as presented in the docudrama “Ostatni Etap” (“The last Stage”) of 1948 by the Polish director Wanda Jakubowska, herself a former prisoner of the concentration camp. The article contributes to the discussion on the role that translators and interpreters play in extreme and violent situations when the ethics of interpreting and translation loses its power and the generally accepted norms and standards are no longer applicable. 1. Introduction Studies on the roles of translators and interpreters in conflict situations have been undertaken by numerous scholars since 1980. They have produced valuable insights into the subject which include various types of study of an empirical, analytical

  • An Organizational Analysis of the Nazi Concentration Camps
    Chaos, Coercion, and Organized Resistance; An Organizational Analysis of the Nazi Concentration Camps DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Thomas Vernon Maher Graduate Program in Sociology The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. J. Craig Jenkins, Co-Advisor Dr. Vincent Roscigno, Co-Advisor Dr. Andrew W. Martin Copyright by Thomas V. Maher 2013 Abstract Research on organizations and bureaucracy has focused extensively on issues of efficiency and economic production, but has had surprisingly little to say about power and chaos (see Perrow 1985; Clegg, Courpasson, and Phillips 2006), particularly in regard to decoupling, bureaucracy, or organized resistance. This dissertation adds to our understanding of power and resistance in coercive organizations by conducting an analysis of the Nazi concentration camp system and nineteen concentration camps within it. The concentration camps were highly repressive organizations, but, the fact that they behaved in familiar bureaucratic ways (Bauman 1989; Hilberg 2001) raises several questions; what were the bureaucratic rules and regulations of the camps, and why did they descend into chaos? How did power and coercion vary across camps? Finally, how did varying organizational, cultural and demographic factors link together to enable or deter resistance in the camps? In order address these questions, I draw on data collected from several sources including the Nuremberg trials, published and unpublished prisoner diaries, memoirs, and testimonies, as well as secondary material on the structure of the camp system, individual camp histories, and the resistance organizations within them. My primary sources of data are 249 Holocaust testimonies collected from three archives and content coded based on eight broad categories [arrival, labor, structure, guards, rules, abuse, culture, and resistance].

  • Fragments of Life: a Look at Artifacts in the Florida Holocaust Museum Madison Flashenburg
    Florida State University Libraries Honors Theses The Division of Undergraduate Studies 2012 Fragments of Life: A look at Artifacts in the Florida Holocaust Museum Madison Flashenburg Follow this and additional works at the FSU Digital Library. For more information, please contact [email protected] Abstract The dominant trend in the current scholarship on artifact-based Holocaust museums, as evidenced by the positions held by James Young in The Texture of Memory and Oren Stier in Committed to Memory, claims all artifacts associated with the Holocaust should be viewed with the same suspicion, for these artifacts are understood only in terms of death, and not of life. In this thesis, I argue that the Florida Holocaust Museum, in its staging of artifacts, counters this claim, in large part, due to a section of the permanent collection dedicated to Jewish life before World War II. I describe what I call "distancing mechanisms", which are tools that prevent the visitor from creating false memory experiences. The Florida Holocaust Museum uses distancing mechanisms to distance the viewer from the thickness of history without producing unmediated forms of memory that lead visitors to overly identify with Holocaust victims. Finally, I call attention to the importance of mundane artifacts, which, when effectively presented, create a relationship between the visitors and the past that emphasizes that these events happened to other people, without using the past to assault the visitor.

  • Selfies from Auschwitz: Rethinking the Relationship Between Spaces of Memory and Places of Commemoration in the Digital Age
    Selfies from Auschwitz: Rethinking the Relationship Between Spaces of Memory and Places of Commemoration in The Digital Age MARIA ZALEWSKA USC School of Cinematic Arts Abstract: This paper seeks to map theoretical and practical preoccupations in the contempo- rary relationship between places of commemoration and more abstract spaces of Holocaust memory. While the range of this topic is broad, I narrow the scope by interrogating specific ways in which the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum engages with Holocaust-re- lated visual content on Instagram. The direction in which the memory of the Holocaust is moving and the ubiquity of social media posts, forces institutions like the Auschwitz-Birke- nau Museum to valorise, react, and engage with new media content. Therefore, the case study of ‘selfies from Auschwitz’ resonates in productive ways with questions of individual and institutional socio-historical agency in curatorship of 21st century Holocaust memory, as well as discussions on guardianship and claims to ownership of memory in the digital age. Contending that the Museum asserts itself as an increasingly visible actor in the transna- tional social media Holocaust discourse, I trace the history of the Museum’s social media presence and engagement. Keywords: visual social media, Instagram, visual communication, Holocaust memory, media memory, cultural memory, space and place, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland n the months preceding the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, I amid the multitudinous voices concerned with the future of the memory of the Holocaust in the world without survivors or witnesses, several of popular media outlets decried social media users for employing Holocaust-related visual content as affective devices of trans- gression and insensitivity.
