  • ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Birkenwald
    ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Birkenwald. Forest of Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the ruins of crematory V in the background. In German, Birkenau means “stand of birch trees.” Ethel Buisson took this photograph as she followed in the footsteps of her grandfather, Srul Ruger, who died in Auschwitz in 1942. Her trip was published in 2014 in the journal Tenou’a. 1 An in-depth work that is more essential than ever Currently, Europe is experiencing a resurgence of anti-Semitism. This disturbing reality is due to an increasingly violent and vociferous minority. The association of disparate movements under the banner of anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories should be a warning. Ridiculed and even denied, the Shoah has been exploited with this hate speech, which shamelessly tramples on the memory of the victims. This dangerous excess is unacceptable; fortunately, it has been widely condemned by public authorities and society at large. Faced with this reality, the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah intends to pursue the in-depth work it began 13 years ago: education, based on a knowledge of history and action that refuses any “competing memories,” combined with public vigilance. Schools are crucial to this work, and I would like to congratulate the many teachers who, with their students, pursue productive pedagogical initiatives every year. The year 2013 was also marked by two projects, which the Foundation is particularly proud to have supported. The first is the memory site inaugurated in Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, a place that presents the history of the Vivarais Plateau, whose residents sheltered hundreds of Jews fleeing the persecutions of the war.

  • Key Findings Many European Union Governments Are Rehabilitating World War II Collaborators and War Criminals While Minimisin
    This first-ever report rating individual European Union countries on how they face up their Holocaust pasts was published on January 25, 2019 to coincide with UN Holocaust Remembrance Day. Researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges travelled throughout Europe to conduct the research. Representatives from the European Union of Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) have endorsed their work. Key Findings ● Many European Union governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. ● Revisionism is worst in new Central European members - Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Lithuania. ● But not all Central Europeans are moving in the wrong direction: two exemplary countries living up to their tragic histories are the Czech Republic and Romania. The Romanian model of appointing an independent commission to study the Holocaust should be duplicated. ● West European countries are not free from infection - Italy, in particular, needs to improve. ● In the west, Austria has made a remarkable turn-around while France stands out for its progress in accepting responsibility for the Vichy collaborationist government. ● Instead of protesting revisionist excesses, Israel supports many of the nationalist and revisionist governments. By William Echikson As the world marks the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, European governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. This Holocaust Remembrance Project finds that Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Baltics are the worst offenders. Driven by feelings of victimhood and fears of accepting refugees, and often run by nationalist autocratic governments, these countries have received red cards for revisionism.

Prix Mémoire de la Shoah. C'est le plus souvent par l'approche directe de sa création que nous sommes amenés à découvrir l'œuvre d'un artiste.

Ce peut être aussi le fruit d'un travail sur l'histoire collective d'un peuple ou d'une culture transcendant son art qui en ouvre les portes. La vie, peut enfin se transformer en alchimiste de la rencontre, mêlant ainsi ces voies et ces voix .C'est ainsi que je fus accueillie par des mains tendues au seuil de sa vie et de son œuvre : "Les mains sont le prolongement de l'âme…" Au seuil de l'atelier de sculpture de Shelomo Selinger, un néflier issu d'un noyau venu d'Israël, arque ses branchages sur la cour pavée et des sculptures, dans un mouvement immobile, prononcent les mots du silence : Babyar parle de la tragédie du peuple juif ukrainien, Œdipe et Antigone racontent une histoire venue de la nuit des temps, La Femme Chouette a son regard de marbre tourné vers l'intérieur, et La femme aux trois seins vient d'éclore dans le granit.

The two memorials, located just over 500 meters apart in the center of Paris and inaugurated within seven years of one another, physically embody each of these narratives.

It deals with the major themes thrown up by the intersection of subject matter and time scale, and also discusses the nature of collective memory and commemoration more generally. Particular attention is paid to the series of commemorations marking the fiftieth anniversaries of the crucial episodes of the war years. These fell between 1989 and 1995, roughly coinciding with François Mitterrand’s second septennat.

  • Summary: Ten Years Ago, Historian Henry Rousso, Along with French
    DRANCY: History, Memory, Representation By Inez Hedges* The enthusiastic reception granted to Suite française, Irène Némirovksy’s recently discovered novellas of the French experience of defeat and occupation, and Jonathan Littel’s recounting of WWII through the eyes of an SS officer in Les Bienveillantes (a work for which this American writer won France’s highest literary prize, the Prix Goncourt) is evidence of continued interest - in France, and even worldwide – in imaginative engagement with a historical period that now lies more than half a century in the past. Yet in French literary fiction and fiction film, there is, for the most part, silence on one topic, despite numerous official commemorations and days of remembrance: the arrest and deportation of more than 75,000 Jews, including 11,400 children, during the Occupation of France by Germany – most of whom passed through the camp of Drancy, just outside Paris. Suite française does not mention Jews at all1, and Les Bienveillantes focuses on the protagonist’s participation in Hitler’s eastern campaign. France appears mainly as a backdrop to his personal life2. While there are several films that depict the roundups as well as the role of the French police (Rose Bosch’s remarkable 2009 film La Rafle, as well as the 1974 film Les Guichets du Louvre by Michel Mitrani), the Drancy camp remains on the margins of cinematic and literary representation3. * Inez Hedges is Professor of French, German, and Cinema Studies at Northeastern University where she held the title of Stotsky Professor of Jewish Historical and Cultural Studies, 2006-9.
