Ers'oonlijkheden
ers'oonlijkheden Doeko Bosscher Abel Ja ob Herzberg >- In aeze aflevering van Persoonlijkheden verklaart Doeko Bosscher zijn bewondering voor het werk van de Joodse schrijver Abel Herzberg en diens wil om de mens in al r- zijn facetten te begrijpen. Voor wie koestert een mens fascinatie? In mijn geval voor iemand die ogen opent en tot denken aanzet; tot het heroverwegen van standpunten. Omdat hij een origineel denker was, in alles wat hij schreef goed voor een paar nieuwe gezichtspunten, koester ik hoge achting voor Abel J. Herzberg. Mijn respect geldt voor hem als auteur (toneel, poëzie en proza) en als rolmodel voor iedereen die, op zoek naar de kern van het begrip humani teit, in waarheid wll proberen te leven. Dergelijke lieden zijn dun gezaaid. Hun bijzondere talent, hun genie, blijkt mee tal pas in omstandigheden die hen dwingen het beste naar boven te laten komen. Herzberg zou zelf de eerste zijn, zoals hierna wel blijkt, om het belang van omstandigheden voor de ontdekking van zijn eigen gaven te erkennen. Hij was een typische structuralist, die mens en context uit elkaar hield. De mens is niet; hij wordt gemaakt. Herzberg was naast een heleboel andere dingen ook zionist, een woord dat bij mij (kind van de jaren zestig) altijd negatieve associaties wekte vanwege de vernedering van de Palestijnen, die met de nederzettingenpolitiek op de Westbank gepaard ging. Zionisme, dat was dan wel oorspronkelijk een reactie op allerlei kwalijke vormen van discriminatie en vervolging en was als zodanig goed te begrijpen, maar stelde het in de latere praktijk niet het ene onrecht voor het andere kwaad in de plaats? Ik vond (en vind) het bestaansrecht van Israël binnen veilige grenzen even vanzelfsprekend als de aanspraak van de Palestijnen op erkenning van hun rechten. -
Anne Frank, the Young Diarist from Amsterdam, May Be
“Poor devils” of the Camps Dutch Jews in Theresienstadt, 1943–19451 Anna Hájková nne Frank, the young diarist from Amsterdam, may be the best-known victim of the Holocaust.2 Her diary breaks off with the capture of the Jews hiding at 263 Prinsengracht Street, and, with the termination of the diary, Anne Frank Ais as good as dead. Anne’s incarceration in Auschwitz-Birkenau and later in Bergen-Belsen, where she died seven months after her arrest, are often presented as a footnote to her story.3 This treatment of Anne Frank’s last seven months is symptomatic of the story of the Dutch Jews once they were deported outside of the Netherlands; this topic has been widely neglected in large parts of the historiography of the Holocaust of Dutch Jewry.4 Many scholars of the 1 This article was a long time in the making, and I am extremely grateful to many colleagues and friends for their help, advice, support, and reading and commenting along the way. Among others, I’d like to thank Guido Abuys, Merav Amir, Doris Bergen, Hubert Berkhout, Hartmut Kaelble, the late René Kruis, Anna Manchin, Jaroslava Milotová, Ted Muller, the late Miloš Pojar, Corinna Unger, and Lynne Viola; and the many people who in 2001 were so helpful and generous talking with me about their Terezín experience. 2 On Anne Frank as the point of departure for an important new history of the Ho- locaust in the Netherlands, see Katja Happe, “Die Geschichte der Judenverfolgung in den Niederlanden: Schwerpunktsetzungen innerhalb eines neuen Projekts” in Krijn Thijs und Rüdiger Haude, eds., Grenzfälle: Transfer und Konflikt zwischen Deutschland, Belgien und den Niederlanden im 20. -
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. -

Robert Jan van Pelt, trans. Michiel Horn and John Irons ((Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press, 2012). Three years ago, when Robert Jan van Pelt, an architectural and Holocaust historian at the University of Waterloo, asked me whether I would translate the diary of David Koker, I had never heard of David or his diary, or so I told him. I subsequently found out that I was wrong. Both had come within my ken four decades earlier, but I had taken no notice. In the early 1970s I read the University of Amsterdam historian Jacob (Jacques) Presser’s two-volume work Ondergang (1965), the history of the persecution and destruction of the Jews of the Netherlands 2 History of Intellectual Culture, 2012/13 during the years of German occupation. (Presser’s work was translated into English by Arnold Pomerans and appeared in an abridged version as Ashes in the Wind in the United Kingdom in 1968, and as The Destruction of the Dutch Jews in the United States in 1969.) Presser, who in the late 1930s had taught David at the Vossiusgymnasium, an elite secondary school in Amsterdam, mentions his former pupil and the diary more than once. Later I must have come across David’s name in Louis de Jong’s multi-volume history of the Netherlands during the war (Het koninkrijk der Nederlanden in de tweede wereldoorlog, 1969ff.), which I began to read in 1971. -

Western Europe
Western Europe Anglo-Jewry Since World War II GROWTH IN NATIONAL IMPORTANCE and a decline in number; a heightened self-consciousness and a loss of identity; a deepening of religious fervor and a fragmentation of religious institutions; a proliferation of educational facilities and a widespread indifference to things Jewish—all these paradoxes characterize the postwar evolution of British Jewry. The immediate postwar period set the scene for all later developments. Wartime evacuation and dispersal initiated a movement away from city centers to the suburbs and beyond. The struggle of the late 1940s to establish and support Israel, often in conflict with the Labour government's policy, foreshadowed the later much closer identification with Israel. The reduced hierarchical structure of postwar Britain, itself in part a product of wartime dislocation, facilitated the entry of Jews into new occupational and social spheres. The wider diffusion of wealth and enhanced living standards gave opportunity to Jewish entrepreneurs in building, entertainment, publishing, the consumer-oriented industries, and the professions. The educational expansion, initiated during the war, likewise created openings for the intellectual and academic on an unprecedented scale. The Anglo-Jewish community of the late 1970s is recognizably the heir to that of the late 1940s—but it is also recognizably different. Demographic Decline One outstanding feature is a demographic decline, though it is only since the 1960s, when the Board of Deputies established a statistical and demographic unit —itself a sympton of unease—that the measure of decline can be ascertained. Whereas members of the community occupy leading positions in many spheres of the arts, sciences, and politics, demographers forecast that, in the foreseeable future, the Jewish population may fall to 225,000, compared with the 410,000 currently estimated. -
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. -
Representations of the Holocaust in Texas World
REPRESENTATIONS OF THE HOLOCAUST IN TEXAS WORLD HISTORY TEXTBOOKS FROM 1947 TO 1980 by RYAN NOLAN ABT Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON MAY 2015 Copyright © by Ryan Nolan Abt 2015 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements I first thank my patient and encouraging wife, Maggie, who spurred me toward this accomplishment and without complaint accepted the difficulties to which seeking it led. She encourages me and I am the better man for having her. I thank my mother for her diligence in editing the entire work and for her positivity in doing so. To all my family I extend thanks for their support in this endeavor. From my very early time at the University of Texas at Arlington, Dr. Thomas Adam has been an encourager, a mentor, and a firm motivator. His work with me has made me who I am as a scholar and has taught me so very much in the way that I approach the discipline of history. I have found my time in his class and working through my thesis to be of the greatest value. I also appreciate the great time and effort of Dr. Andrew Milson and Dr. Steven Reinhardt. Without their work on my behalf, I would not have succeeded in accomplishing this goal. When I consider how much I have developed in the past few years, I cannot help but thank all those professors whose classes I attended while at UTA.
