Collection Description Administrative History The Center for Research in Social Change was established at Emory University in 1965 to promote the study of social change and to train students in methods of social research. Fred Roberts Crawford was appointed first director in 1966. Crawford, a witness to the liberation of the concentration camp at Dachau, Germany, founded and directed the project. Originally, the project's aim was to collect eye witness accounts from Holocaust survivors and camp liberators in order to refute claims that the Holocaust never occurred. Later, the goal was expanded to include documentation and analysis of the long-term effects of the Holocaust. The project also sought to document smaller concentration camps and sub-camps about which little was known. Scope and Content Note Project files from the Witness to the Holocaust project conducted by the Emory University Center for Research in Social Change from 1978-1982 include video recordings of interviews with concentration camp liberators and audio tapes and transcripts of conversations with camp survivors, many of them residents of Atlanta, Ga. The collection also contains a large collection of photographs depicting the prisoners, casualties, mass graves, facilities, and conditions in concentration camps. Additionally it includes subject files, including clippings, reports, and published materials relating to the Holocaust, Nazism, Israel, and Emory University's Holocaust project; photographs from the post-World War II era; and publications, including entire issues of such newspapers and magazines as Hadassah, Martyrdom and the Resistance, and The Southern Israelite. The collection documents events and long-term effects of the Holocaust. Arrangement Note Organized into six series: (1) Project materials, (2) Project publications and products, (3) Collected research materials, (4) Administrative Records, and (5) Financial and donor records. 2 Witness to the Holocaust project files, 1939-2005 (bulk 1978-1983) Series No. 11 Additional Descriptive Resource Inventories, including donor information, of survivor and liberator photographs are available in the corresponding boxes. 3 Witness to the Holocaust project files, 1939-2005 (bulk 1978-1983) Series No. 11 Description of Series Series 1: Project materials, 1945-1983 (bulk 1978-1983) Subseries 1.1: Case files, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.1A: Liberator case files, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.1B: International Liberators Conference case files, 1981 Subseries 1.1C: Survivor case files, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.1D: Other case files, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.1E: Release forms, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.1F: POW Case Files, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.2: Audio recordings, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.2A: Liberator audio recordings, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.2B: Survivor audio recordings, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.2C: POW audio recordings, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.2D: Audiotapes from Holocaust Seminar at Yad Vashem, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.3: Video recordings and films, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.3A: Liberator video recordings and film, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.3B: International Liberators Conference video recordings, 1981 Subseries 1.3C: Survivor video recordings, circa 1978-2000 Subseries 1.5: Photographs, circa 1945 Subseries 1.6: Photographic negatives, circa 1945 Subseries 1.7: Slides, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.8: Additional Interview Transcripts, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.8A: Audio Interviews, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.8B: Video Interviews, 1978-1983 Subseries 1.8C: Self-Interviews, 1978-1983 Series 2: Project publications and products, 1978-1988 Subseries 2.1: Witness to the Holocaust television series recordings, 1978-1981 Subseries 2.2: Publications, 1979-1988 Subseries 2.3: Video recordings of conferences and exhibits, 1980-1981 Subseries 2.4: Slides of public programming activities, 1979-1981 Subseries 2.5: Drafts and Administrative Materials, 1979-1983 Series 3: Collected research materials, 1939-1983 Subseries 3.1: Research files, 1978-1983 Subseries 3.2: Periodical files, 1939-1982 Subseries 3.3: Articles files, 1973-1983 Subseries 3.4: Video recordings of television programs, 1978-1983 Subseries 3.5: Collected slides, circa 1939-1983 Series 4: Administrative Records, 1976-2005 Series 5: Financial and donor records, 1978-1989 4 Witness to the Holocaust project files, 1939-2005 (bulk 1978-1983) Series No. 11 Series 1 Project materials, 1945-1983 (bulk 1978-1983) Boxes 1-24, 44-48, 66-70, 75-88 Scope and Content Note Series consists of case files, including interview transcripts; recorded interviews and oral histories; photographs, negatives, and slides; and other materials and information obtained chiefly from concentration camp liberators and survivors.

    JEAN AMÉRY AND WOLFGANG HILDESHEIMER: RESSENTIMENTS, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE WEST GERMAN PUBLIC SPHERE IN THE 1960S AND 1970S A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Melanie Steiner Sherwood January 2011 © 2011 Melanie Steiner Sherwood JEAN AMÉRY AND WOLFGANG HILDESHEIMER: RESSENTIMENTS, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE WEST GERMAN PUBLIC SPHERE IN THE 1960S AND 1970S Melanie Steiner Sherwood, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 The dissertation revisits the West German literary scene of the 1960s and 1970s to investigate how two of its Jewish participants, Jean Améry and Wolfgang Hildesheimer, sought to promote ethical responses to the Holocaust. The study incorporates literary analysis and socio-political reflections on the ethics of public life. First, it is an analysis of the relationship between judicial confrontation of the German criminal past, the silence in the wider German cultural sphere in the wake of this confrontation, and the two writers’ efforts to expose and address this ethical disconnect (chapter I). Second, it draws attention to two very different modes of reactive affect, ressentiment and melancholia. Through readings of Hildesheimer’s novels Tynset (1965) and Masante (1973) in chapters II and III, on the one hand, and Améry’s essay “Ressentiments” (1966) and the essay-novel Lefeu oder Der Abbruch (1974) in chapters IV and V, on the other, the dissertation analyzes these two modes. Hildesheimer employed a register of ethical writing that articulated the interconnected processes of mourning and melancholia, but unlike recent scholarship that focuses on these categories and valorizes melancholia as source of productive socio-political action, Hildesheimer did not prescribe them as exemplary modes of affective reparation.

  • Key Findings Many European Union Governments Are Rehabilitating World War II Collaborators and War Criminals While Minimisin
    This first-ever report rating individual European Union countries on how they face up their Holocaust pasts was published on January 25, 2019 to coincide with UN Holocaust Remembrance Day. Researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges travelled throughout Europe to conduct the research. Representatives from the European Union of Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) have endorsed their work. Key Findings ● Many European Union governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. ● Revisionism is worst in new Central European members - Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Lithuania. ● But not all Central Europeans are moving in the wrong direction: two exemplary countries living up to their tragic histories are the Czech Republic and Romania. The Romanian model of appointing an independent commission to study the Holocaust should be duplicated. ● West European countries are not free from infection - Italy, in particular, needs to improve. ● In the west, Austria has made a remarkable turn-around while France stands out for its progress in accepting responsibility for the Vichy collaborationist government. ● Instead of protesting revisionist excesses, Israel supports many of the nationalist and revisionist governments. By William Echikson As the world marks the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, European governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. This Holocaust Remembrance Project finds that Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Baltics are the worst offenders. Driven by feelings of victimhood and fears of accepting refugees, and often run by nationalist autocratic governments, these countries have received red cards for revisionism.

Study of the Holocaust and the extermination and persecution of Roma and Sinti has become a substantive part of school curricula throughout the OSCE region, and helps to ensure that young people are aware of the dangers posed by intolerance.
