  • CORPORATE FREEDOM of ACTION in NAZI GERMANY Peter Hayes
    Features GHI Research Conference Reports GHI News CORPORATE FREEDOM OF ACTION IN NAZI GERMANY LECTURE AT THE GERMAN HISTORICAL INSTITUTE, WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 16, 2008 Peter Hayes NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Recently, Christoph Buchheim and his former student Jonas Scher- ner have advanced a reinterpretation of business-state relations in the Third Reich that has attracted considerable notice. Articulated in a series of essays that appeared in 2006 in several prominent jour- nals, in their respective contributions to a just-published collection of conference papers entitled German Industry in the Nazi Period, and in Dr. Scherner’s new book, their case incorporates many now estab- lished and uncontroversial fi ndings of the existing literature, albeit too oft en without adequate acknowledgment of who fi rst arrived at these or even an indication that someone has done so.1 In conse- quence, although Buchheim and Scherner present several fruitful insights, key parts of their argument merely knock down straw men or already opened doors, while other parts slice and dice the current state of knowledge in a simplistic and misleading fashion. 1 Christoph Buchheim, The central, load-bearing propositions of the Buchheim-Scherner “Unternehmen in Deutsch- interpretation are as follows: land und NS-Regime 1933-1945: Versuch einer Synthese,” Historische 1.

    Understanding, Reconciliation, and Prevention – Rethinking Hannah Arendt’s Representation of the Holocaust by Lindsay Shirley Macumber A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Lindsay Shirley Macumber 2016 Understanding, Reconciliation, and Prevention: Rethinking Hannah Arendt’s Representation of the Holocaust Lindsay Shirley Macumber Doctor of Philosophy Centre for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In an effort to identify and assess the practical effects and ethical implications of representations of the Holocaust, this dissertation is a rethinking and evaluation of Hannah Arendt’s representation of the Holocaust according to the goal that she herself set out to achieve in thinking and writing about the Holocaust, understanding, or, “the unmediated, attentive facing up to, and resisting of, reality- whatever it may be.”1 By examining Arendt’s confrontation with the Holocaust from within the context of systemic evil (which is how I argue she approached the Holocaust), and in light of her ultimate aim to “be at home in the world,” I conclude that understanding entails both reconciling human beings to the world after the unprecedented evil of the Holocaust, as well as working towards its prevention in the future. Following my introductory chapter, where I argue that Arendt provided an overall representation of the Holocaust, and delimit the criteria of reconciliation and prevention, each subsequent chapter is dedicated to an aspect I identify as central to her representation of the Holocaust: Her claim that totalitarianism was unprecedented; that the evil exemplified by Adolf Eichmann was “banal;” and that the Jewish Councils “cooperated” with the Nazis in the destruction of their communities.

  • Whole Dissertation Hajkova 3
    Abstract This dissertation explores the prisoner society in Terezín (Theresienstadt) ghetto, a transit ghetto in the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. Nazis deported here over 140, 000 Czech, German, Austrian, Dutch, Danish, Slovak, and Hungarian Jews. It was the only ghetto to last until the end of Second World War. A microhistorical approach reveals the dynamics of the inmate community, shedding light on broader issues of ethnicity, stratification, gender, and the political dimension of the “little people” shortly before they were killed. Rather than relegating Terezín to a footnote in narratives of the Holocaust or the Second World War, my work connects it to Central European, gender, and modern Jewish histories. A history of victims but also a study of an enforced Central European society in extremis, instead of defining them by the view of the perpetrators, this dissertation studies Terezín as an autarkic society. This approach is possible because the SS largely kept out of the ghetto. Terezín represents the largest sustained transnational encounter in the history of Central Europe, albeit an enforced one. Although the Nazis deported all the inmates on the basis of their alleged Jewishness, Terezín did not produce a common sense of Jewishness: the inmates were shaped by the countries they had considered home. Ethnicity defined culturally was a particularly salient means of differentiation. The dynamics connected to ethnic categorization and class formation allow a deeper understanding of cultural and national processes in Central and Western Europe in the twentieth century. The society in Terezín was simultaneously interconnected and stratified. There were no stark contradictions between the wealthy and majority of extremely poor prisoners.

  • From Cooperation to Complicity
    From Cooperation to Complicity From Cooperation to Complicity is a study of the Degussa corporation, a firm that played a pivotal role in the processing of plundered precious metals in Nazi- occupied Europe and controlled the production and distribution of Zyklon B, the infamous pesticide used to gas the inmates of Auschwitz and Majdanek concentration camps, during the Third Reich. The author traces the extent of the corporation’s involvement in these and other Nazi war crimes, including the Aryanization of Jewish-owned property and the exploitation of forced labor, and delineates the motivations for such conduct. Peter Hayes is Professor of History and German and Theodore Z. Weiss Professor of Holocaust Studies at Northwestern University. He is the author of Industry and Ideology: IG Farben in the Nazi Era (new edition, Cambridge, 2001), which won the Conference Group on Central European History’s biannual book award in 1988. He is also editor of Lessons and Legacies: The Meaning of the Holocaust in a Changing World (1991) and four other collections. He has written more than fifty articles published in German French, and Italian, as well as English. In 1997–98, he was the Shapiro Senior Scholar in Residence at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Advance praise for From Cooperation to Complicity ... “Bringing to bear a knowledge of business rare among historians, Peter Hayes has, on the basis of previously inaccessible company records, meticulously documented the moral corruption under Nazism of a ven- erable German firm whose executives allowed it to be drawn into ever- deeper implication in the crimes of Hitler’s regime.” – Henry Ashby Turner, Jr., Stille Professor of History Emeritus, Yale University “This outstanding study reaffirms Peter Hayes’ claim to be the world’s leading authority on business and the Third Reich.

    Holocaust Studies Reflections and Predictions Peter Hayes JOSEPH AND REBECCA MEYERHOFF ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 15, 2013 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, January 2014 Copyright © 2014 by Peter Hayes THE JOSEPH AND REBECCA MEYERHOFF ANNUAL LECTURE honors excellence in Holocaust research and fosters dissemination of cutting-edge Holocaust scholarship. Generous philanthropists, Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff of Baltimore, Maryland, provided support to organizations world-wide, focusing on Jewish learning and scholarship, music, the arts, and humanitarian causes. Their children, Eleanor Katz and Harvey M. Meyerhoff, Chairman Emeritus of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, endowed this lecture. Good evening, and thank you all for coming. Thanks, too, to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for the honor of being invited to speak here tonight. I particularly want to express my gratitude to two people: Director Sara Bloomfield, who is an alumna of Northwestern and who, I am proud to announce tonight, will receive an honorary degree from the university next June, and Nicole Frechette, who did much of the heavy lifting behind the scenes for this event. Those thanks said, please permit me to begin with a confession. When I accepted the invitation to speak this evening on this topic, I may have been in the grip of hubris. Having just co-edited The Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies with John Roth—a task that involved each of us reading and emending each of the 47 chapters multiple times—I seem to have overestimated my command of what has become a vast and manifold subject.

  • The Position of Auschwitz and the Camp System in English Secondary School Students’ Understandings of the Holocaust
    ‘The Holocaust is a place where . .’: The position of Auschwitz and the camp system in English secondary school students’ understandings of the Holocaust. Dr Alice Pettigrew and Dr Eleni Karayianni UCL Centre for Holocaust Education, UK. Abstract: This paper presents data drawn from a recent empirical study involving more than 8,000 English secondary school students (aged 11 – 18) who took part in either a survey or focus group interview. It critically examines the significance of Auschwitz and the wider camp system within young people’s knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust. The paper reflects upon the tension between, on the one hand, academic historians’ requirements of clarity, differentiation and the recognition of both complexity and nuance in making sense of this past, and, on the other, the imprecision, abstraction and/or confusion often associated with, and characteristic of, dominant, Auschwitz-centric narratives of the Holocaust. In doing so, it identifies a number of important yet ostensibly widely shared misinterpretations, mistakes and misconceptions reflected in English school students’ engagement with this history. Keywords: Auschwitz; English secondary schools; young people’s knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust. Introduction Across Europe, North America and beyond, the Holocaust is one of the most regularly referenced and often represented periods of recent human history and, as Dan Stone has noted, ‘in western Europe’ - if not also further afield – ‘our image of the Holocaust centres on Auschwitz-Birkenau.’i Indeed, for many, Auschwitz has become the symbol of the Holocaustii and, seventy years after liberation, its arresting graphic vocabulary – of barbed-wired fences and railroad tracks, of shaven heads, tattooed forearms and striped, pyjama-like, uniforms, for example – looms large in the popular imagination, regularly invoked within box-office hit feature films and best-selling novels, through poetry, philosophical and theological writing, through regular museum exhibitions, photography and other visual works of art.

  • The IG Farben Trial
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLI\61-1\HLI105.txt unknown Seq: 1 18-FEB-20 12:04 Volume 61, Number 1, Winter 2020 The I.G. Farben Trial: Evidentiary Standards and Procedures and the Problem of Creating Legitimacy Allie Brudney* This Note examines the evidentiary standards and procedures created for and used in the I.G. Farben Trial, one of the twelve Subsequent Nuremberg Trials held in the U.S. Occupation Zone after World War II. Because the I.G. Farben Trial was not bound by “technical rules of evidence,” the three judges on the tribunal had broad discretion to develop evidentiary rules and standards. This Note argues that the I.G. Farben judges created evidentiary rules and procedures as they arose during the trial, with no preexisting philosophy. Faced with competing factors, they based their decisions on which factor—speed and efficiency, the defendant’s due process protections, the prosecution’s rights—they weighed more heavily in that in- stance, often choosing efficiency to finish the trial more quickly. This ad hoc creation of standards and procedures led to unorthodox practices and a lack of uniformity both within the trial and across the Subsequent Nuremburg Trials. This is the first article to examine closely the evidentiary standards and procedures in the I.G. Farben Trial. More generally, this is one of the only articles to look at standards and procedures at the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials in detail. Introduction In 1947, the United States, one of four occupying powers in Germany, indicted twenty-four high-ranking executives of the I.G.
