  • Lucie Aubrac : "Non Au Nazisme"
    Lucie Aubrac : "Non au nazisme" Lucie Aubrac, mère de famille, professeur d’histoire-géographie à Lyon, a participé à la Résistance sous la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, spécialisant ses actions dans les évasions de camarades. Tout commença avec Raymond, son mari juif, arrêté par la Gestapo. Elle parvint à le tirer des pattes de Klaus Barbie au prix d’un plan rocambolesque, n’hésitant pas à usurper une fausse identité. Aidés de nombreux autres résistants, Lucie et Raymond publient des tracts, des journaux, contribuent à l’évasion d’opposants au régime, comme eux. Mais malgré leurs changements d’identités, Raymond est arrêté plusieurs fois. Lucie va tout faire pour qu’il retrouve la liberté. Volontaire et loyale, Lucie Aubrac incarne, sans doute mieux qu’aucun(e) autre, la résistance à l’oppression. ♠♠♠ 1.

Avec Serge Klarsfeld nous sommes face à un engagement exceptionnel qui constitue l’œuvre d’une vie : la poursuite des criminels nazis et de leurs complices et un travail patient, fastidieux de mémoire pour reconstituer l’identité et l’itinéraire des 76 000 déportés Juifs de France. Telle est l’œuvre de cet avocat, historien qui préside l’association des Fils et Filles des Déportés Juifs de France. Cette quête de vérité l’a poussé avec sa femme, Beate, à traquer par tous les moyens d’anciens nazis comme Klaus Barbie et à dépouiller inlassablement les archives.

XXVII 2019 PUBLISHED BY HIDDEN CHILD FOUNDATION /ADL DESPITE ALL ODDS, THEY SURVIVED, PERSISTED — AND THRIVED DESPITE ALL ODDS, THEY SURVIVED, PERSISTED — AND THRIVED FROM HUNTED ESCAPEE TO FEARFUL REFUGEE: POLAND, 1935-1946 Anna Rabkin hen the mass slaughter of Jews ended, the remnants’ sole desire was to go 3 back to ‘normalcy.’ Children yearned for the return of their parents and their previous family life. For most child survivors, this wasn’t to be. As WEva Fogelman says, “Liberation was not an exhilarating moment. To learn that one is all alone in the world is to move from one nightmarish world to another.” A MISCHLING’S STORY Anna Rabkin writes, “After years of living with fear and deprivation, what did I imagine Maren Friedman peace would bring? Foremost, I hoped it would mean the end of hunger and a return to 9 school. Although I clutched at the hope that our parents would return, the fatalistic per- son I had become knew deep down it was improbable.” Maren Friedman, a mischling who lived openly with her sister and Jewish mother in wartime Germany states, “My father, who had been captured by the Russians and been a prisoner of war in Siberia, MY LIFE returned to Kiel in 1949. I had yearned for his return and had the fantasy that now that Rivka Pardes Bimbaum the war was over and he was home, all would be well. That was not the way it turned out.” Rebecca Birnbaum had both her parents by war’s end. She was able to return to 12 school one month after the liberation of Brussels, and to this day, she considers herself among the luckiest of all hidden children.

  • Escape to Shanghai: 1938-1940
    Flight to Shanghai, 1938-1940: The Larger Setting Avraham Altman and Irene Eber Between November 1938 and August 1939, approximately 20,000 Central European refugees, most of them Jews, landed in Shanghai. They had sailed on German, Italian, and Japanese ships and, in the short span of eight months, constituted a massive exodus. What, however, is the background to this phenomenon, and, moreover, why did it rapidly diminish after August 1939?1 In order to answer these questions, we must look at the larger setting within which this process took place—something that, until now, has not been investigated. The Background In 1933, when Hitler came to power, there were around 500,000 Jews in Germany and 185,000 in Austria.2 In contrast to the gradual pressure over several years that had been exerted on the Jews in Germany to leave the country, when Austria came under German rule in March 1938, the Jews were immediately and ruthlessly persecuted. By launching an organized terror campaign against them—confiscating their property, depriving them of all means of livelihood, and incarcerating Jewish men in concentration camps—the Nazis forced the Austrian Jews to 1This paper is part of a larger project on the Jewish communities in modern China under Japanese occupation. The authors wish to thank the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and its Truman Research Institute for their partial support of this research. Irene Eber thanks the J.K. Fairbank Research Center, Harvard University, where additional research was carried out in 1996-1997, and the Andover Newton Theological School where she was Visiting Judson Professor.

  • NS-Herrenmenschenpaare Zwischen Nationalsozialistischem Elitebewusstsein Und Rassen- Ideologischer (Selbst-) Verpflichtung Katrin Himmler
    1 NS-Herrenmenschenpaare Zwischen nationalsozialistischem Elitebewusstsein und rassen- ideologischer (Selbst-) Verpflichtung Katrin Himmler Im Mittelpunkt der nationalsozialistischen Täterforschung stehen seit einigen Jahren zunehmend die Akteure der mittleren und unteren Machtebenen, deren Motive und Handlungsspielräume. Deutlich wird dabei immer mehr „jene Hybris, Passion und Kälte“, die längst nicht nur die Haupttäter auszeichnete. Das NS-System bot erstmals breiten Bevölkerungsschichten die Möglichkeit zum beruflichen Aufstieg, da nicht mehr allein soziale Herkunft oder Bildung entscheidend waren für die Karriere, sondern zuallererst die Frage, ob jemand zur nationalsozialistischen Volksgemeinschaft gehörte oder nicht. Zu dieser konnte nur gehören, wer „rassisch“, „eugenisch“ und politisch als „einwandfrei“ galt. Darüber hinaus zählten vor allem Leistung und die Bereitwilligkeit, der Volksgemeinschaft zu dienen. Durch das Konstrukt des überlegenen deutschen „Herrenmenschen“ in Abgrenzung zum „minderwertigen Untermenschen“ konnten sich nicht nur zahlreiche soziale Aufsteiger der Elite zugehörig fühlen, sondern auch große Teile der Unterschicht. Den meisten Forschungen zur nationalsozialistischen Verbrechensgeschichte liegt allerdings bis heute ein Gesellschaftsbild zugrunde, das die NS- Gesellschaft nicht als „ein Ensemble von Männern und Frauen“ wahrnimmt. Frauen waren jedoch in ebenso großer Zahl begeistert von der NS-Ideologie und sahen sich als - wenn auch den Männern untergeordneter - Teil der nationalsozialistischen Volksgemeinschaft
