Testaments to the Holocaust
Testaments to the Holocaust INTRODUCTION by Ben Barkow. General Editor & Director of the Wiener Library, London. Historical Background The Wiener Library is the oldest institution in the world established for the task of documenting the Nazi regime and its crimes against the Jewish people. The founder, Alfred Wiener (1885 - 1964) was a German Jew, born in Potsdam, who had studied Arabic literature to doctorate level, and spent the years 1907 - 1909 travelling in the Middle East. This experience persuaded him that the Zionist ideal was misplaced and that efforts to establish a national homeland for the Jews could only prove damaging to the Jews (naturally he altered his views later, enjoying friendly relations with former political enemies and even, for a time, pondering whether the Wiener Library should not move to Jerusalem). After serving in the 1914 - 1918 war (in the course of which he was decorated with the Iron Cross, 2nd Class) he became increasingly perturbed by the rise of extreme right-wing anti- Semitic groups in Germany. He joined the largest Jewish civil rights organisation, the conservative and anti-Zionist Centralverein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens (Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith), and devoted himself to the task of enlightening the German people about the dangers of right-wing extremism and anti- Semitism. Within a few years he had risen to a very high position in the organisation and was closely involved in formulating its policy. From 1925 onwards Wiener was in no doubt that the greatest danger from the far right was from the National Socialists under Hitler. -
A Discussion Guide to Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER of the CARNEGIE MEDAL A Discussion & Research Guide RUTA SEPETYS TO SALTTHE SEA Those who are gone are not necessarily lost. Author’s Note This book is a work of historical fi ction. The Wilhelm Gustloff, the Amber Room, and Operation Hannibal, however, are very real. The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff is the deadliest disaster in maritime history, with losses dwarfi ng the death tolls of the famous ships Titanic and Lusitania. Yet remarkably, most people have never heard of it. On January 30, 1945, four torpedoes waited in the belly of Soviet submarine S-13. Each torpedo was painted with a scrawled dedication: For the Motherland. For the Soviet People. For Lenin- grad. For Stalin. Three of the four torpedoes were launched, destroying the Wilhelm Gustloff and killing estimates of more than nine thousand people. The majority of the passengers on the Gustloff were civilians, with an estimated fi ve thousand being children. The ghost ship, as it is sometimes called, now lies off the coast of Poland, the large gothic letters of her name still visible underwater. Over two million people were successfully evacuated during Operation Hannibal, the largest sea evacuation in modern history. Hannibal quickly transported not only soldiers but also civilians to safety from the advancing Russian troops. Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, ethnic Germans, and residents of the East Prussian and Polish corridors all fl ed toward the sea. My father’s cousins were among them. My father, like Joana’s mother, waited in refugee camps hoping to return to Lithuania. -
Images of the German Soldier (1985-2008)
Soldiering On: Images of the German Soldier (1985-2008) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kevin Alan Richards Graduate Program in Germanic Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor John E. Davidson, Advisor Professor Anna Grotans Professor Katra Byram Copyright by Kevin Alan Richards 2012 Abstract The criminal legacy of National Socialism cast a shadow of perpetration and collaboration upon the post-war image of the German soldier. These negative associations impeded Helmut Kohl’s policy to normalize the state use of the military in the mid-eighties, which prompted a politically driven public relations campaign to revise the image of the German soldier. This influx of new narratives produced a dynamic interplay between political rhetoric and literature that informed and challenged the intuitive representations of the German soldier that anchor positions of German national identity in public culture. This study traces that interplay via the positioning of those representations in relation to prototypes of villains, victims, and heroes in varying rescue narrative accounts in three genre of written culture in Germany since 1985: that is, since the overt attempts to change the function of the Bundeswehr in the context of (West) German normalization began to succeed. These genre are (1) security publications (and their political and academic legitimizations), (2) popular fantasy literature, and (3) texts in the tradition of the Vergangenheitsbewältigung. I find that the accounts presented in the government’s White Papers and by Kohl, Nolte, and Hillgruber in the mid-1980s gathered momentum over the course of three decades and dislodged the dominant association of the German soldier with the villainy of National Socialism. -

Zurzach Zur Zeit Des Nationalsozialismus'
383 Zurzach zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus' WALTER LEIMGRUBER «Der Frontenfrühling sprang auf unser Land über und schoss bald mächtig ins Kraut. Manch ein später Honoriger war in seinen damals noch jungen Jahren unschlüssig, und in den einen und andern unter ihnen frass sich der Wurm des nationalsozialistischen Gedankengutes [ ... ] »* Am 7. Februar 1935 wurde der Zurzacher Unternehmer Karl Mallaun in Deutschland verhaftet unter der Beschul digung, den deutschen Devisenbestimmungen zuwiderge handelt zu haben. Mallaun wurde in Berlin festgenommen und am 15. Februar von zwei Beamten nach Waldshut gebracht, wobei «die Fahrtkosten 2. Klasse zu seinen Las ten» fielen, wie der Aargauer Polizeichef Oberst Oskar Zumbrunn in seinem Schreiben an die Polizeidirektion fest hielt. In Basel hatte der Zug Aufenthalt, ein Begleiter riet Mallaun, auszusteigen und zu verschwinden. Dieser woll te nicht: «Ich habe nichts ungesetzliches begangen und brauche deshalb die Flucht nicht zu ergreifen .>>2 Nach ei nigen Monaten Untersuchungshaft in Waldshut sah Mallaun die Sache anders. Am 4. August 1935 floh er aus dem Gefängnis und schlug sich in die Schweiz durch. Mallaun betrieb in Zurzach mit seinem Bruder ein Bauge schäft, das 1933 in Zahlungsschwierigkeiten geriet. Die Baufirma wurde vorerst weiterbetrieben, befand sich im Moment der Verhaftung aber in der Phase der Liquidati on. Mallaun war auch in Deutschland aktiv. Zusammen mit dem deutschen Architekten Adolf Mildenberger, der ebenfalls verhaftet wurde,3 besass er dort Liegenschaf ten, «die grössere Werte repräsentieren».
