Secondary Source Information Secondary Source Information From 1941 to 1945, German authorities transferred thousands of Lodz ghetto Jews to a number of forced labor and concentration camps and deported over 100,000 Jews from the Lodz ghetto to their deaths at the Chelmno and Auschwitz-Birkenau killing centers. The timeline and general histories below may provide valuable clues about specific camps and transports that included Jewish prisoners from the Lodz ghetto.

The IHRA (formerly the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research, or ITF) was initiated in 1998 by former Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson. Persson decided to establish an international organisation that would expand Holocaust education worldwide, and asked former president Bill Clinton and former British prime minister Tony Blair to join him in this effort. Persson also developed the idea of an international forum of governments interested in discussing Holocaust education, which took place in Stockholm between 27–29 January 2000. The Forum was attended by the representatives of 46 governments including; 23 Heads of State or Prime Ministers and 14 Deputy Prime Ministers or Ministers. The Declaration of the Stockholm International Forum on the Holocaust was the outcome of the Forum’s deliberations and is the foundation of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. The IHRA currently has 31 Member Countries, 10 Observer Countries and seven Permanent International Partners.

  • Simplified WWII Timeline
    ~ Belz Museum of Asian and Judaic Art ~ Holocaust Memorial Gallery ~ Simplified World War II Timeline 1933 JANUARY 30, 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler chancellor. At the time, Hitler was leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazi party). FEBRUARY 27-28, 1933 The German parliament (Reichstag) building burned down under mysterious circumstances. The government treated it as an act of terrorism. FEBRUARY 28, 1933 Hitler convinced President von Hindenburg to invoke an emergency clause in the Weimar Constitution. The German parliament then passed the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of Nation (Volk) and State, popularly known as the Reichstag Fire Decree, the decree suspended the civil rights provisions in the existing German constitution, including freedom of speech, assembly, and press, and formed the basis for the incarceration of potential opponents of the Nazis without benefit of trial or judicial proceeding. MARCH 22, 1933 The SS (Schutzstaffel), Hitler's “elite guard,” established a concentration camp outside the town of Dachau, Germany, for political opponents of the regime. It was the only concentration camp to remain in operation from 1933 until 1945. By 1934, the SS had taken over administration of the entire Nazi concentration camp system. MARCH 23, 1933 The German parliament passed the Enabling Act, which empowered Hitler to establish a dictatorship in Germany. APRIL 1, 1933 The Nazis organized a nationwide boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in Germany. Many local boycotts continued throughout much of the 1930s. APRIL 7, 1933 The Nazi government passed the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, which excluded Jews and political opponents from university and governmental positions.

  • Hannah Garza, Mechelen, Belgium, January 2016
    Understanding the Recent Phenomena of Holocaust Remembrance in the Form of National Holocaust Museums and Memorials in Belgium, France, and Germany Hannah Elizabeth Garza Universiteit van Amsterdam Graduate School of Humanities A thesis submitted for the degree of Masters in Holocaust and Genocide Studies Spring 2017 !1 Abstract This thesis will focus on national Holocaust museums and memorials in Europe, in specific regards to the national Holocaust museums of Belgium and France, and the national Holocaust memorial of Germany. This dissertation will begin with a brief overview of the scholars used within each chapter, along with a discussion on the development of national Holocaust museums in Europe in the introduction chapter. Following the introduction, the first chapter will discuss the Kazerne Dossin Memorial Museum in Mechelen, Belgium. Chapter two will then cover the Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris, France. Finally, chapter three will then focus on the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in conjunction with its underground information center in Berlin, Germany. This thesis will endeavor to explore the themes represented in each museum in relation to German compliance, and the role of the bystanders from each Nation. The goal is to understand how each of these national institutions discussed within the text, portray their involvement in the events of the Holocaust and Second World War by way of State compliance and the actions of their bystanders. Through the initiatives of the museum and memorials published catalogs, personal

  • Faktensammlung Zur Geschichte Von Frauenstein 09.11.2019
    Faktensammlung zur Geschichte von Frauenstein 09.11.2019 - Eine ungeordnete Sammlung zur individuellen Verwendung - Entstehung des Namens Frauenstein – eine denkbare Version In der Festschrift zur 25-jährigen Städtepartnerschaft mit Zell am Harmersbach deutet Wolf- Dieter Geißler an: Eine arme Wahrsagerin namens Libussa rettet das Volk der Tschechen nach einer furchtbaren Seuche. Sie heiratete einen armen Pflüger namens Premysl und gründet so mit ihm die Herrschaft der Premyslinen. Der Sage nach soll sie Frauenstein am Ende des ersten Jahrtausends n. Chr. gegründet haben. Sie sitzt im Wappen von Frauenstein auf einem Stein und hält einen Dreizweig in der Hand, den ihr Mann gepflanzt hat. Die älteste schriftliche Überlieferung liegt mit der Christianslegende vor, die 992 – 994, möglicherweise im Kloster 5Břevnov, entstand. Nach ihr lebte das heidnische Volk der Tschechen ohne Gesetz und ohne Stadt, wie ein „unverständiges Tier“, bis eine Seuche ausbrach. Auf den Rat einer namenlosen Wahrsagerin gründeten sie die Prager Burg und fanden mit 53Přemysl einen Mann, der mit nichts als dem Pflügen der Felder beschäftigt war. Diesen setzten sie als Herrscher ein und gaben ihm die Wahrsagerin zur Frau. Diese beiden Maßnahmen befreiten das Land von der Seuche, und alle nachfolgenden Herrscher stammten aus dem Geschlecht des Pflügers. Die Přemysliden herrschten seit dem Ende des 9. Jahrhunderts als 36Herzöge von Böhmen. Erster König von Böhmen wurde 1158 Vladislav II., mit 5Ottokar I. wurde das Königtum 1198 erblich. 1212 wurden die 36Länder der böhmischen Krone zum Königreich innerhalb des Heiligen Römischen Reiches erhoben. In der Chronica Boemorum des Cosmas von Prag vom Beginn des 12. Jahrhunderts ist die nun Libuše genannte Wahrsagerin Tochter des Richters Krok (des Nachfolgers vom Urvater 48Čech) und jüngste Schwester der Heilkundigen Kazi und der Priesterin Teta.

We must never forget Sir Nicholas Winton's humanity in saving so many children from the Holocaust.”1 “MPs’ have voted against an attempt to compel the Government to offer sanctuary in the UK to 3,000 unaccompanied child refugees from Europe.”2 Although the preceding years had borne witness to a heightened engagement with the Holocaust in the political and public spheres, with the establishment of Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) on 27 January 2001, Britain entered a new phase in the development of its Holocaust consciousness. In the fifteen years since the inaugural ceremony took place Britain has sought to position itself at the very forefront of Holocaust remembrance and education on a national, international, and supranational, level.3 As such, the Holocaust has emerged as a dominant socio-political symbol in 21st century Britain despite the fact that, as Bob Moore has highlighted, “the Holocaust intersects with British history in very few ways.”4 This article will discuss the increasingly central role of Holocaust commemoration and education in 21st century Britain, and will consider how it has not only come to impact conceptualisation of the historical event, but also its influence on broader interpretations of British identity.

LINDERT By K Lesli Ligorner Fetching the newspaper from your porch, you look up and wave at your elderly neighbor across the street. This quiet man emigrated to the United States from Europe in the 1950s. Upon scanning the newspaper, you discover his picture on the front page and a story revealing that he guarded a notorious Nazi concen- tration camp. How would you react if you knew that this neighbor became a natu- ralized citizen in 1962 and that naturalization requires "good moral character"? The systematic persecution and destruction of innocent peoples from 1933 until 1945 remains a dark chapter in the annals of twentieth century history. Though the War Crimes Trials at Nilnberg' occurred over fifty years ago, the search for those who participated in Nazi-sponsored persecution has not ended.
