On top of everything it becomes apparent that he has a strange gift that doesn’t make him very appealing… Helgason’s hero is just like his author: quirky, full of humour and brilliantly maladjusted.

    Thesis Title The Lagermuseum Creative Manuscript and ‘Encountering Auschwitz: Touring the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’ Critical Thesis Author Dr Claire Griffiths, BA (Hons), MA, PhD Qualification Creative and Critical Writing PhD Institution University of East Anglia, Norwich School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing Date January 2015 Word Count 91,102 (excluding appendices) This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract The Lagermuseum My creative manuscript – an extract of a longer novel – seeks to illuminate a little- known aspect of the history of the Auschwitz concentration and death camp complex, namely the trade and display of prisoner artworks. However, it is also concerned with exposing the governing paradigms inherent to contemporary encounters with the Holocaust, calling attention to the curatorial processes present in all interrogations of this most contentious historical subject. Questions relating to ownership, display and representational hierarchies permeate the text, characterised by a shape-shifting curator figure and artworks which refuse to adhere to the canon he creates for them. The Lagermuseum is thus in constant dialogue with my critical thesis, examining the fictional devices which often remain unacknowledged within established

We will explore the roots of Nazi ideology in the German and broader European context and why Nazism gained wide popular support among the German people. We will study the regime’s attempt at social and biological engineering; a plan encompassing pronatalism, forced sterilization, murder of “social and biological deviants,” and the genocide of the Jews. Primary sources like memoirs, oral history interviews, and official state documents, as well as historical interpretations of the events, will examine life in Nazi Germany from the perspective of perpetrators, accommodators, victims, and resisters. The historical interpretations will introduce you to the contentious world that is scholarship on Nazi Germany. Scholars have debated the history and meaning of the Nazi regime for decades.
