  • Biography of Ralph Israel Charak
    Heritage Project: Biography of Ralph Israel Charak Sarah Charak, December 2010 1 I’ve always been fascinated by my Saba’s story. As a small child, I remember being told stories of his survival. I would sit on his lap, imagining my Saba as a hero; my Saba creeping through the forests; my Saba fooling the Nazis… As I grew up, my mental image of Saba changed. I was amazed less by his heroism and more by his intelligence and resourcefulness. When I started to interview Saba earlier this year, my understanding of his story changed again. Discovering the details – the dates and the names and the places, and the countless stories of lucky chances – forced me to think about the miracle that was his survival. I questioned, wondered, and tried to understand. How? WHY? * Childhood November 1926 – September 1939 My Saba was born on 18th November 1926, in a district town ‘Galicia… stretches from the outer edge called Sokal, in Galicia, in the part of town on the eastern of core Poland, north of the regional bank of the River Bug.

Hi Fellow Kinder I hope you are managing to enjoy our rather damp summer and of course revelling in the successes at the Olympics. Just to give you advanced warning we are planning to celebrate the 75 th anniversary of the decision by parliament to let us in to this country, on Sunday 23 June at J.F.S. It seems to us better that we have the celebration in Summer rather on the actual date in November. Hopefully the weather will be more amenable at that time of the year.

  • USHMM Finding
    http://collections.ushmm.org Contact [email protected] for further information about this collection Gideon Arie, Gidon Arye RG‐50.030.0009 Two video cassettes In Hebrew Recorded July 11, 1989 Abstract Gidon Arye was born in 1928, in Vilna, into an upper middle class family. At the time, approximately one third of Vilna’s residents were Jews. He lived with his father, a well connected building contractor and a partner in a carpentry factory, his mother, who was from a large Orthodox family, and a younger brother. He had attended a private, Polish‐speaking Jewish school as well as Jewish summer camps, not all of which were Zionist. Until the Germans entered Vilna in June 1941, his family enjoyed a very comfortable way of life. Once the Germans took over Vilna from the Russians, the situation changed dramatically for the worse. Many Jews were rounded up and taken to Ponary where they were killed. Initially, because his father always seemed to have the necessary work permits /licenses, the family was able to manage even after the Jews were evicted from their homes and forced to move into the overcrowded ghetto. As a result of his father’s connections, Gidon obtained work inside the ghetto in the carpentry and glass workshop. He joined the Juden Club and eventually the FPO (the underground) and was able to avoid being rounded up during the various aktzias. The ghetto was liquidated on September 23, 1943. Gidon’s mother and brother were taken to Ponary and killed. His father worked in a Jewish work force in the Gestapo building.

  • Early Testimonies of Jewish Survivors of World War II
    Tragedy and Triumph Early Testimonies of Jewish Survivors of World War II Compiled and Translated by Freda Hodge ABOUT THIS BOOK In this collection Freda Hodge retrieves early voices of Holocaust survivors. Men, women and children relate experiences of deportation and ghetto­ isation, forced labour camps and death camps, death marches and liber­ ation. Such eye­witness accounts collected in the immediate post­war period constitute, as the historian Feliks Tych points out, the most important body of Jewish documents pertaining to the history of the Holocaust. The fresh­ ness of memory makes these early voices profoundly different from, and historically more significant than, later recollections gathered in oral history programs. Carefully selected and painstakingly translated, these survivor accounts were first published between 1946 and 1948 in the Yiddish journal Fun Letzten Khurben (‘From the Last Destruction’) in postwar Germany, by refugees waiting in ‘Displaced Persons’ camps, in the American zone of occupation, for the arrival of travel documents and visas. These accounts have not previously been available in English. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Freda Hodge holds degrees in English, Linguistics and Jewish Studies, and has taught at universities and colleges in South Africa and Australia. Fluent in Hebrew as well as Yiddish, she works at the Holocaust Centre in Melbourne conducting interviews with survivors and families.

Jewish Resistance in World War II & Zionism: Making Aliyah in the Death Camps An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in History. By Cierra Tomaso Under the mentorship of Dr. Brian K. Feltman ​ ABSTRACT My thesis examines the contributions of Jewish resistance fighters in Europe during World War II. The sources used are primarily memoirs of resistance fighters, primary documents from resistance groups, and secondary articles related to Zionism during that time period. The resistance movement began because there was a need for dismantling the Third Reich from within the bounds of the ghettos, the death camps, and the killing fields. This thesis will show that Zionism played a key role in the motivations of the Jewish resistance fighters in World War II. Additionally, it will examine how as Jews found that their home countries sought to cut ties with them, they found refuge in their new identity as Zionists.
