  • Tina Hamrin-Dahl
    TINA HAmrin-DAHL This-Worldly and Other-Worldly A Holocaust pilgrimage Pilgrims and the Holocaust Częstochowa is a town known for a shrine to the Black Madonna and every year millions of pilgrims from all over the world come to this Virgin Mary town in south-west Poland. My story is about another kind of pilgrimage, which in a sense is connected to the course of events which occurred in Częstochowa on 22 September 1942. In the morning, the German Captain Degenhardt lined up around 8,000 Jews and commanded them to step either to the left or to the right. This efficient judge from the police force in Leipzig was rapid in his deci- sions and he thus settled the destinies of thousands of people.1 After the Polish Defensive War of 1939, the town (renamed Tschenstochau) had been occupied by Nazi Germany, and incorporated into the General Government. The Nazis marched into Częstochowa on Sunday, 3 September 1939, two days after they invaded Poland. The next day, which became known as Bloody Monday, approximately 150 Jews were shot dead by the Germans. On 9 April 1941, a ghetto for Jews was created. During World War II about 45,000 of the Częstochowa Jews were killed by the Germans; almost the entire Jewish community living there. The late Swedish Professor of Oncology, Jerzy Einhorn (1925–2000), lived in the borderhouse Aleja 14, and heard of the terrible horrors; a ghastliness that was elucidated and concretized by all the stories told around him (Einhorn 2006: 186–9). Jerzy Einhorn survived the ghetto, but was detained at the Hasag-Palcery concentration camp between June 1943 and January 1945.

  • The Creation of Radiumhemmet, Department of Oncology and Cancer Centrum Karolinska
    The creation of Radiumhemmet, Department of Oncology and Cancer Centrum Karolinska By Nina Einhorn, anticipating the 200-year jubilee of Karolinska Institutet in 2010 We were on a flight to the USA when my husband Jerzy asked if I wanted to read some pages from his planned book that would be about Radiumhemmet and the healthcare in Sweden. He gave me a chapter called "Slaget om Radiumhemmet”, The battle for the Department of Oncology. I read it and although I knew about the course of events very well, I couldn't help but ask "what happened then". It is strange that the history of Radiumhemmet contains so many fascinating stories. There is no doubt that within KI's 200-year history there have been many extremely strong figures that characterized research and teaching within the medical faculty. But the question is whether any other university clinic has such a colorful past with so many unusual episodes and also forward-looking personalities that have influenced its development. As a brilliant pioneer, Gösta Forssell appears first and foremost. As he himself puts it, "I was fascinated early by the magic of the rays". He was already a medical candidate with Tor Stenbeck, who together with Tage Sjögren were the first worldwide to report on cancer patients who were cured using X-rays. In 1908 Gösta Forssell with the help of the surgeon John Berg started a separate institution for X-ray treatment at the Serafimer Hospital at Kungsholmen in Stockholm. The institute was housed in the cellar in a room of 42 m2.

  • Pilgrimages Today
    PILGRIMAGES TODAY PILGRIMAGES TODAY Based on papers read at the symposium on pilgrimages today held at Åbo, Finland, on 19–21 August 2009 Edited by Tore Ahlbäck Editorial Assistant Björn Dahla Published by the Donner Institute for Research in Religious and Cultural History Åbo, Finland Distributed by Tibo-Trading Ltd Pargas, Finland Editorial secretary Maria Vasenkari Linguistic editing Sarah Bannock & Heidi Granqvist ISSN 0582-3226 ISBN 978-952-12-2398-3 Printed in Finland by Vammalan kirjapaino Sastamala 2010 Editorial Note he symposium Pilgrimages Today, which the Donner Institute for Research Tin Religious and Cultural History arranged 19–21 August 2010 in Åbo, Finland, attracted a lot of interest. We might note that earlier, a decade ago, Nordic scholars of comparative religion still comprised the target group for the Donner Symposia, which were begun in 1962. Today, however, researchers of comparative religion from all parts of the world are our target group. The turn­ ing point was the symposium in 1997, Methodology of the Study of Religion, which was ‘an IAHR Regional Symposium’. That was the first time English was the language of the conference, and it has been so at all symposia since then. Nowadays, information on a forthcoming symposium (a word we use as fully synonymous with conference) is no longer spread using traditional postal services, but through mailing lists that disseminate the message with the speed of the wind in a multitude of directions. It is always a pleasure to see the registrations for a symposium today—most continents are represented. Our definition of pilgrimage in our Call for Papers was in no sense con­ troversial: ‘Basically, a pilgrimage is a journey undertaken by individuals or a group to a place, which for the single individual or the individuals in the group is of great importance because of something they have learnt and experien ced in the culture and religion which they have grown up within.

  • Feliks Tych the Suvivors of HASAG
    1 Feliks Tych The Suvivors of HASAG n the history of the few who survived the mass murder of Polish Jews, it fell to I Częstochowa to be a special place in the last months of the War: in no other Polish city, already freed from the Germans, were there so many Jews who survived – over 5,000 people. It was a phenomenon within a national scale. The exceptional situation resulted from two circumstances: • Firstly, the fact that an industrial plant complex, belonging to the Hasag company of Leipzig, just happened to be in Cz ęstochowa, an armaments company catering to the needs of the German army. For the most part, the staff was comprised of Jewish slaves for whom the death sentence, imposed upon all European Jews by Hitler and his praetorians, was only postponed. The majority of their family and friends had already perished in the gas chambers of Treblinka. This postponement was triggered by a lack in the workforce for the German munitions industry, a matter of particular importance at a time when the blitzkrieg conquest phase of the Third Reich had already ended and Hitler’s armies had begun suffering one defeat after another. Jewish slaves worked in terrible conditions - they were starved, terrorised, burdened with work beyond their strength and those who were weakened were killed. The majority of Hasag slaves were Jews from outside of Cz ęstochowa. However, those from Cz ęstochowa comprised the largest single group of slaves. • The second factor which permitted such a considerable number of Jews to survive was the pace of the 1945 Red Army winter offensive, begun on 12th January and which, by the night of the 16th January, had already reached Cz ęstochowa.
