The Assassination of Julien Lahaut: the First Result Of Seminar with Tatiana Sîrbu La politique des “ villages tsiganes― en Bessarabie sous trois administrations: tsariste, roumaine et soviétique: 1812-1956 Ces dernières années, le sort des Roms a, à plusieurs reprises, été porté au devant de l'actualité. Mais cette question est une problématique ancienne qu'il n'est pas inutile d'examiner sur le plan plus historique. Pour aborder l'histoire chaotique de cette population, le CEGES invite le mercredi 19 décembre 2012 l'historienne Tatiana Sîrbu pour une présentation qui traitera de l'évolution de la situation des Roms en Bessarabie aux 19e et 20e siècles, fruit de ses recherches de doctorat. Seminar with Ugur Ümit Üngör Expropriation et destruction : génocide et confiscation des biens arméniens en 1915  Peu d'événements historiques suscitent autant de controverses que le génocide arménien. Le sujet a encore marqué l'actualité politique lorsque le Parlement français a adopté une loi réprimant la négation du génocide arménien avant son invalidation par le Conseil constitutionnel. Le CEGES a, pour sa part, souhaité se pencher sur cette question le mercredi 5 décembre 2012 (2.30 p.m.). Seminar with Laurent Thiery La répression: un élément central de la stratégie politique d'Occupation dans les départements du Nord - Pas-de-Calais On Wednesday 21 November 2012( 2.30 p.m.) the CEGES/SOMA receives Laurent Thiery. L'historien français qui a récemment soutenu sa thèse de doctorat à l'Université de Lille 3, viendra présenter ses recherches au cours d'un séminaire consacré à la répression allemande dans le Nord de la France durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Seminar with Aline Sax The world view of Flemish collaborators On Wednesday 17 October 2012 the CEGES/SOMA receives Aline Sax, who recently obtained her PhD in history. This historian and writer of children's books from Antwerp will give a seminar on the motivation and the world view of Flemish collaborators during the Second World War. The roundup of 3 and 4 September 1942 Jules Coest (in the middle), acting burgomaster of Brussels in 1942 (Photo Ceges/Soma) 70 years ago, 718 Jews living in Brussels were arrested in the middle of the night by the occupier and the Belgian SS. This Brussels roundup took place in the context of the great roundups of the summer of 1942. Without the keeping of a Jewish register following the orders of the occupier in the autumn of 1940 and applied by all Belgian towns concerned, this roundup would not have had the same impact. The event was commemorated by the burgomaster of Brussels, Freddy Thielemans (see the complete text of his speech). He apologised to the Jewish community in the name of the city authorities. Beyond the duty of remembrance, the burgomaster also announced his intention of confiding a complementary mission to the Ceges/Soma on the case of Brussels. This study will be published and handed to the city's public servants and the schools. Commemoration of the cooperation of the Antwerp police forces to the round-up of the Jews, August 1942 Lieven Saerens (© John Moussiaux). On Wednesday 15 August it was 70 years since the cooperation of the Antwerp police to the first round-up of the Jews in Belgium. On this occasion, a ceremony where a commemorative plaque was presented, took place in the Antwerp city hall. Mayor Patrick Janssens and the President of the Jewish Central Consistory of Belgium, Professor Baron Julien Klener as well as Soma/Ceges historian Lieven Saerens addressed the public. For the speech of Lieven Saerens, click here. Ceges/Soma-collaborator Karel Stroppe takes a dip Ceges/Soma-collaborators are not merely active in the scientific field. Karel Strobbe is responsible for the project "North-Limburg and the Second World War") and also lends support to the departments public history and academic activities. On Sunday 8 July he took part in the Big Swim, a swimming tour around the city of Ghent. The Big Swim was a continuation of the Big Jump, a European project where people in several places took a dive to draw attention to the quality of the water.  The Cahiers d'Histoire du Temps présent The Cahiers d'Histoire du Temps présent/Bijdragen tot de Eigentijdse Geschiedenis (CHTP/BEG) are an illustrated journal focusing on the history of Belgium in the twentieth century, in particular on the two World Wars, the political and cultural history and on the historiographical debate. As a scientific journal, the CHTP/BEG reserves a fundamental role for photographic illustrations, which are considered an essential part of the documentary and archive collections.  The journal publishes articles in French, Dutch and English. Since 1996, it is published twice yearly and runs to approximately 300 to 400 pages. Some issues are devoted to the exploration of a particular theme. Its editorial committee consists of researchers of the CEGES/SOMA as well as external researchers. Each issue contains an important section “Library― with reviews of scientific publications related to the history of Belgium.  The journal is a member of the Association des Revues scientifiques et culturelles. Its articles are summarized and reviewed in Historical Abstracts and America : History and Life.  Seminar with Peter Haslinger The break-up of Czechoslovakia - an experience to share ? Le mercredi 30 mai 2012 (14h.30), le CEGES a le plaisir d'accueillir l'historien autrichien Peter Haslinger. Il viendra nous présenter un séminaire intitulé “The break-up of Czechoslovakia - an experience to share ?―. Ce séminaire sera le dernier de ce premier semestre 2012. Peter Schrijvers Peter Schrijvers obtained a Master's degree in History and American Studies from the Catholic University of Leuven and a PhD in US History from the Ohio State University in Columbus. He specializes in US foreign relations history and US involvement in World War II. He was a Research Fellow at the Royal Military Academy in Brussels, has taught at the Institut Universitaire de Hautes Études Internationales in Geneva, and is currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. From 26 January to 30 June 2012 he carries out research at the CEGES/SOMA for a study on the Battle of Bastogne.  Has left the Centre on 30th June 2012.    Bastogne Revisited: An Iconic American Battle Gets a Second Look Using New Military Sources from US Archives and Often Neglected Belgian Civilian Sources, this project, supported by the CEGES/SOMA and funded by the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, aims at the publication of a study in English which leaves behind the standard view of the Battle of the Bulge widespread in Anglo-Saxon society.  New depot for the collections of the CEGES-SOMA Consequences for the service in the reading room 29 May 2012 will be an important date in the history of the Ceges-Soma because for the first time, the institution will dispose of a second depot which will provide twice its actual storing space. The occupation of the second depot will also involve a thorough reorganisation of the collections. Everything possible has been done to minimise the consequences with regard to the service to the readers. Nevertheless, the access to some types of documents will become temporarily more difficult (see further in text). Moreover, the reading room will be closed for two short periods: from Tuesday 29 May to Friday 1 June and from Monday 18 June to Wednesday 20 June. Symposium Transitional Justice: final programme brochure On 23 and 24 May 2012, SOMA-CEGES organizes the closing symposium of the transitional justice project. This international symposium will take place in the Egmontpalace. For specific questions, please contact dr. Nico Wouters. You can find the brochure with all practical information and the final version of the programme here.  German taxes on the compensation of Belgian survivors of the forced labour programme. Some background information In the autumn of 2011, news appeared in the press concerning German tax demands issued to Belgian survivors of the forced labour programme or their widows. The ombuds service of the Ministry of Pensions claimed that their department could not help the aged pensioners, advising them to lodge a notice of objection in German to the German tax authorities. The tax demand was introduced because, after the independence of the Baltic States, thousands of former military collaborators claimed military pension benefits from Germany. That this measure would also affect the victims of forced labour had escaped the attention of the German authorities. Recently, Alvin De Coninck, son of a resistance fighter, has tackled the dossier. He has recapitulated his conclusions so far. Seminar with Pim Griffioen and Ron Zeller La persécution des Juifs aux Pays-Bas, en France et en Belgique, 1940-1945. Convergences, spécificités et causes  Le mercredi 2 mai 2012 (à 14h30), le CEGES accueillera les deux historiens néerlandais Pim Griffioen et Ron Zeller. Ils présenteront leur étude comparative sur la persécution des Juifs aux Pays-Bas, en France et en Belgique. In Memoriam Natan Ramet On Wednesday afternoon 4 April 2012, Natan Ramet, one of the last Auschwitz survivors and a well-known name in memory education, died at the age of 86. After the death of David Susskind and Georges Schnek, the Jewish community loses three prominent contemporaries in a short time.

  • How the Refugees Crisis from Nazi Germany Got (Partly) Solved Through International Concertation
    How the Refugees Crisis from Nazi Germany got (partly) solved through International Concertation Frank Caestecker ABSTRACT Dieser Überblick zum historischen Forschungsstand beschreibt die Dynamiken der Flücht- lingspolitik während der Krise, die die Verfolgungen und Vertreibungen in Nazi-Deutschland auslöste. Die Historiographie zu diesem Gegenstand ist noch immer stark von nationalen Per- spektiven geprägt, wobei jedes Land seine eigenen Narrative und Analysen produziert. Eine vergleichende Studie durch Experten nationaler Fälle hat die Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede in den Politiken verschiedener Staaten herausgearbeitet und gleichzeitig gezeigt, dass diese sich in starkem Maße an den Entscheidungen ihrer Nachbarn ausgerichtet haben. Der Artikel liefert eine Synthese dieser Untersuchung, integriert neue Forschungsresultate und bewertet die Verdienste des internationalen Flüchtlingsregimes dieser Zeit neu, das bislang nur ungenü- gende Aufmerksamkeit in der historischen Forschung gefunden hat. In this article we provide an overview of the historical insights in the dynamics of refugee policy at the time of the refugee crisis due to persecution in Nazi Germany. Historiog- raphy on this topic is still largely based on a national perspective, with each country producing its own narratives and analyses. A comparative study has been undertaken by a group of national experts in this field which has highlighted the comparisons and contrasts in the responses of the various states and has also shown that individual states’ policies had been strongly influenced by the decisions of their neighbours.1 In this article we provide a synthesis of these findings, integrate new research findings and re-evaluate F.

  • Anti-Communist Activism in Belgium, 1930-1944'
    ANTI-COMMUNIST ACTIVISM IN BELGIUM, 1930-1944' Rudi Van Doorslaar Wollweber Anyone who knows Belgium will not be surprised to learn that our story begins in Antwerp, an international port of vital importance to the Belgian economy and a nerve centre where antagonistic social forces meet. On 10 November 1937, the Italian steamer Boccacio entered Dock No. 53. Louis Schokkaert, one of the dockers taken on to unload the vessel, contrived to leave a small package on board without being noticed. Some ten days later, the Boccacio sank off the coast of Brittany with the loss of one officer. The sabotage was the work of Antwerp-based members of the Wollweber group.2 Ernst Wollweber, a Communist who had been elected to the Reichstag in 1928, was the head of both Profintern's sea- mens' section and of the clandestine KPD organisation that smuggled propaganda into Nazi Germany. He had been selected by the Communist ~nternational to organise clandestine units to sabotage ships carrying supplies to the Nationalists in Spain. The organisation's European bases were in Germany, the Baltic countries, Scandinavia, Britain, the Nether- lands and Belgium. Wollweber had given responsibility for The Netherlands and Belgium to Joop Schaap, who came originally from Rotterdam. His lieutenant in Antwerp was a lorry driver called Alfons Fictels, who succeeded in recruiting a number of dockers to help him in his clandestine work. We will not go into any details about the attempted sabotage in Antwerp when an initial attempt to sabotage a German vessel in September 1937 came to nothing. In November, the action against the Boccacio had the desired result.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography 268 II.4. From Kristallnacht to War, November 1938-August 1939 While the economic and administrative pressure on ‘Jews’ in Germany was already intense by the autumn of 1938, it was about to be made indescribably worse by the events of the ReichsKristallnacht.1 An orgy of violence and destruction swept over Germany. Officially 91 people were killed on the night of broken glass, but many hundreds more died of their wounds or in concentration camps in the following days and weeks. Approximately 30,000 male ‘Jews’ were arrested and taken to concentration camps. Whatever funds or assets most ‘Jews’ had still possessed in November 1938 had been looted or destroyed in the pogrom, and the 1 billion mark fine levied on the community to pay for the damage and various other impositions effectively bankrupted most of its collective activities. All ‘Jewish’ business activity was to cease by 1 January 1939 and all remaining ‘Jewish’ assets and works of art were to be sold for the benefit of the Reich.2 Emigration from the Reich from 1933 had tended to claim the best candidates, and the ‘Jews’ who remained after November 1938 were less attractive for potential countries of refuge, but they were still placed under enormous pressure to leave. At the same time the German authorities sought to segregate them from all aspects of German life. Restrictions of all kinds rained down on the ‘Jews’, their pauperisation proceeded apace and ‘apartheid’ became a fact of daily life.

Nog afgezien van het niet-elektronische karakter van dit steekkaarten systeem, stelde het in tabelvorm bijgevoegde resultaat de onderzoeker voor een dubbel methodologisch probleem : uit welke bron werden de data gedestilleerd en in welke mate weerspiegelden de cijfers het gewapend verzet ? Masson had zich gebaseerd op een reeks dossiers, afkomstig uit het archief van de gerechtelijke politie te Brussel en gedeponeerd op het Centrum 3.

  • The Evian Conference of 1938 and the Jewish Refugee Crisis
    THE HOLOCAUST AND ITS CONTEXTS Series Editors: Claus-Christian W. Szejnmann and Ben Barkow THE EVIAN CONFERENCE OF 1938 AND THE JEWISH REFUGEE CRISIS Paul R. Bartrop The Holocaust and its Contexts Series Editors Claus-Christian W. Szejnmann Loughborough University Loughborough, UK Ben Barkow The Wiener Library London, UK More than sixty years on, the Holocaust remains a subject of intense debate with ever-widening ramifcations. This series aims to demonstrate the continuing relevance of the Holocaust and related issues in con- temporary society, politics and culture; studying the Holocaust and its history broadens our understanding not only of the events themselves but also of their present-day signifcance. The series acknowledges and responds to the continuing gaps in our knowledge about the events that constituted the Holocaust, the various forms in which the Holocaust has been remembered, interpreted and discussed, and the increasing impor- tance of the Holocaust today to many individuals and communities.
