Conquered areas were to be made German territories by the evacuation ot German- lsation of inhabitants and by colonisation and settlement by people of German blood. "In the East Germany is carrying on a three-fold wart a war for the destruction of Bolshevism, a war for the destruction of the greater Russian Empire and finally a war for the acquisition of colonial territory for colonizing purposes and economic exploitation." 294-fS.

This plan and purpose were fully expressed in the minutes of a conference at the Fuehrer's Headquarters, 16 July 1941, concerning the war in the East, attended by Hitler, Goering, Keitel, Rosenberg, Lammers and Bormann. which contained the follOWing statements: "New it was essential that we did not publicize our aims before the world ." The main thing was that we oU4selvee knew what we wanted." - 2- ItTherefore we shall emphasize again that we were forced to occupy, administer, and secure a certain area; it was in the interests of ,the inhabitants that we provided order, food, traffic etc.; hence our meaeures.

Original memorandum of conference with Hitler 14 December 1941, signed by Rosenberg. ~n a speech delivered 20 June 1941, Rosenberg stated that nt part of the food produced in the southern territories of the - :3 - USSR and the northern craucasus would be used to feed the inhabi- tants. Consequently extensive evacuations would have to be planned and carried out in order to effect "conversion of Russian dynamics to"Tard the East". 1058-PS. Copy of speech by Eosenberg, 20 June 1941. The defendantsJplan to conquer and Germaniee was elaborated in detail with respect to Ozechoslovakia. The solution of the "Czech Problem", as planned by K. H. Frank. Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia, was to absorb approximatelY half the Czech population in Germany by means of an increased labor draft and dispersion of the closely knit C~ech people. The other half of the Czech population, not considered desirable on racial or other grounds, was to be eli~inated or expelled from the country. particularly the educated class of people who might be expected to hinder the program of Germanisation. All elements actively opposed to Germanisation were to be dealt" with sharply and eliminated. This solution of the "Czech Problem" wae approved by Hitler, who directed that while retaining outwardly the autonomy of the Pro~ectorate, the Germanisation of the Czech population must be systematically fostered by the Reich Protector for years to come. This solution wae also endorsed by the Wehrmacht, since it wae a policy which the Wehrmacht had always advocated., 862-PS.

  • Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature
    Bernadette Filotas PAGAN SURVIVALS, SUPERSTITIONS AND POPULAR CULTURES IN EARLY MEDIEVAL PASTORAL LITERATURE Is medieval pastoral literature an accurate reflection of actual beliefs and practices in the early medieval West or simply of literary conventions in- herited by clerical writers? How and to what extent did Christianity and traditional pre-Christian beliefs and practices come into conflict, influence each other, and merge in popular culture? This comprehensive study examines early medieval popular culture as it appears in ecclesiastical and secular law, sermons, penitentials and other pastoral works – a selective, skewed, but still illuminating record of the be- liefs and practices of ordinary Christians. Concentrating on the five cen- turies from c. 500 to c. 1000, Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature presents the evidence for folk religious beliefs and piety, attitudes to nature and death, festivals, magic, drinking and alimentary customs. As such it provides a precious glimpse of the mu- tual adaptation of Christianity and traditional cultures at an important period of cultural and religious transition.

  • German and Jewish Memories of Bukovina After the Second World War
    GAËLLE FISHER Same Space, Different Stories: German and Jewish memories of Bukovina after the Second World War Gaëlle Fisher University College London Abstract This article explores the themes of unity and disunity with regard to German and Jewish memories of Bukovina after the Second World War. Although one often reads in the literature that Bukovina was home to a large number of minorities, notably Jews and Germans, who lived together peacefully and harmoniously, I demonstrate the extent to which this ‘unity’ was challenged by the violent experience of the war and the Holocaust. I show that despite similar means and modes of commemoration and references to the same place and time, the stories told by German and Jews about the region were very different. Looking at the features of post-war approaches to Bukovina among Jews and Germans, I argue the ‘disunity’ results from both different experiences and different conceptions of Germanness. I conclude with some thoughts on Bukovina as a physical and memorial landscape in the present and the future. Keywords: Bukovina; German-speakers; Germanness; memory; displacement Sharing Space: Germans and Jews in Bukovina The historical region of Bukovina (1775-1918), the easternmost province of the Habsburg Empire, was also its most ethnically diverse. No ethnic group represented an absolute majority. Ukrainians were dominant in the north and Romanians in the south; but Germans, Jews, Poles, Hungarians, Gypsies, Russians and others lived in more or less mixed settlements throughout.1 As a 26 TROPOS province under Austrian administration, however, German was the vehicle for GAËLLE upward mobility and German-speakers dominated politics, culture and the FISHER economy.

  • How History Matters for Student Performance. Lessons from the Partitions of Poland Ú Job Market Paper Latest Version: HERE
    How History Matters for Student Performance. Lessons from the Partitions of Poland ú Job Market Paper Latest Version: HERE. Pawe≥Bukowski † This paper examines the effect on current student performance of the 19th century Partitions of Poland among Austria, Prussia and Russia. Despite the modern similarities of the three regions, using a regression discontinuity design I show that student test scores are 0.6 standard deviation higher on the Austrian side of the former Austrian-Russian border. This magnitude is comparable to the black vs. white test score gap in the US. On the other hand, I do not find evidence for differences on the Prussian-Russian border. Using a theoretical model and indirect evidence I argue that the Partitions have persisted through their impact on social norms toward local schools. Nevertheless, the persistent effect of Austria is puzzling given the histori- cal similarities of the Austrian and Prussian educational systems. I argue that the differential legacy of Austria and Prussia originates from the Aus- trian Empire’s policy to promote Polish identity in schools and the Prussian Empire’s efforts to Germanize the Poles through education.

  • Displaced Children 1945 and the Child Tracing Division of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration
    70 Years After the Liberation 109 Displaced Children 1945 and the Child Tracing Division of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration VERENA BUSER, Alice Salomon Hochschule Berlin ith the liberation of Nazi occupied Europe it became obvious that the Nazis had waged an unparalleled war against European civilisation which had also affected Wthe children. Psychologists and social workers encountered children, both Jewish and non-Jewish, who had endured suffering on an unprecedented scale: they were displaced and separated from their families, many of whom had been murdered. According to estimates of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), the largest international aid organisation at the end of the Second World War, there were at least 6,000 children in early March 1946 in the three western zones of occupation who had no relatives and lived in assembly centres or special children‘s centres.1 Who were the Displaced Children? The term ‘displaced children’ comprised minors from all population groups persecuted by the Nazis who had survived the war but were found without relatives; most importantly •฀ ฀Jewish฀children2 who had survived in concentration camps, in hiding with non-Jewish families or in monasteries, in partisan units,3 or in the Soviet Union;4 1 ITS-Arol, 6.1.1/82485874: letter from Miss M. Liebeskind, Child Tracing Section, 18 February 1946. The actual number was probably far higher. 2 For more on Jewish children during the Holocaust, see Dwork (1991). On the post-Holocaust period, see for example, Cohen (2007); Nussbaum (Noa Mkayton) (2004); Michlic (2012); Michlic (2008); Michlic (2007); Heberer (2011).

  • And 'Aryanization' of the Vienna Branches of the Banque Des Pays De L'europe Centrale and of the Živnostenská Banka, 1938
    Dieter Ziegler (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) The 'Germanisation' and 'Aryanization' of the Vienna branches of the Banque des Pays de l'Europe Centrale and of the Živnostenská banka, 1938 Paper 9th EBHA-Conference “Corporate Images – Images of the Corporation” Frankfurt 01-03 September 2005 Session 3 B ‘Aryanization Contracts’ Revisited Prof. Dr. Dieter Ziegler Lehrstuhl für Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensgeschichte Fakultät für Geschichtswissenschaft Ruhr-Universität D-44780 Bochum Email: [email protected] When Germany started its military expansion in Central Europe in 1938 the “Aryanization” of business property in the Old Reich had reached its climax, before it came to an end by the end of the year, when Jews were no longer entitled to carry on any business. In the occupied areas the problem of business property was even greater for the national socialists than in the Old Reich, because in addition to the Jews who were to be immediately ousted from the economy, armaments and other relevant industries, banks, insurance companies etc. had to be transferred to proprietors and managers who were regarded as reliable as Germans. These industries and businesses had to be “Germanized”. That meant that foreigners, whether Jews or non-Jews, as well as local industrialists and bankers, who were not regarded as ethnic Germans were also to be expelled from leading positions in the economy. In the final stage of the “Aryanization” process in the Old Reich the authorities had already realized that although the chaotic and mainly unregulated “Aryanizations” of the past years had been effective from the point of view of “Judenpolitik”, that is, to deprive the German Jews’ capability of economic survival, from the point of view of the economy, especially of the emerging war economy, it was counterproductive.

  • The Roots of Nationalism
    HERITAGE AND MEMORY STUDIES 1 HERITAGE AND MEMORY STUDIES Did nations and nation states exist in the early modern period? In the Jensen (ed.) field of nationalism studies, this question has created a rift between the so-called ‘modernists’, who regard the nation as a quintessentially modern political phenomenon, and the ‘traditionalists’, who believe that nations already began to take shape before the advent of modernity. While the modernist paradigm has been dominant, it has been challenged in recent years by a growing number of case studies that situate the origins of nationalism and nationhood in earlier times. Furthermore, scholars from various disciplines, including anthropology, political history and literary studies, have tried to move beyond this historiographical dichotomy by introducing new approaches. The Roots of Nationalism: National Identity Formation in Early Modern Europe, 1600-1815 challenges current international scholarly views on the formation of national identities, by offering a wide range of contributions which deal with early modern national identity formation from various European perspectives – especially in its cultural manifestations. The Roots of Nationalism Lotte Jensen is Associate Professor of Dutch Literary History at Radboud University, Nijmegen. She has published widely on Dutch historical literature, cultural history and national identity.
