Wer den offiziellen Denkmälern und Erinnerungstafeln folgt, erfährt kaum etwas vom jüdischen Galizien und seinem Untergang in den Vernichtungslagern von Auschwitz und Majdanek, vom polnischen Adel, der, bevor er vom NKVD deportiert und in den weißrussischen Wäldern exekutiert wurde, das östliche Galizien mit Gutshöfen und Palästen geprägt hatte, von den deutschsprachigen Kaufleuten und Beamten in den einstigen Provinzstädten der Habsburger Monarchie, deren Nachfahren 1939 von Hitler "heim ins Reich" gezwungen wurden, von den orthodoxen, sich ukrainisch-russischer Dialekte bedienenden Bauern, die die Hänge der niederen Beskiden und westlichen Karpaten bewirtschafteten, in den 20er Jahren in die Mühlen der polnisch-ukrainischen Volkstumskämpfe gerieten und als eigenständige Volksgruppe innerhalb Polens in den 40er Jahren fast ausgelöscht wurden. Eine Sicht auf Galizien, die im Westen nur Polen und im Osten nur Ukrainer kennt, will von all dem nichts wissen.“ (Gregor Thum: „Traumland Osten. Deutsche Bilder vom östlichen Europa im 20. Jahrhundert,“ Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2006 ) Straszliwe walki Polaków przeciwko terrorowi ukraińskiego pospólstwa wciąż nie poszły w zapomnienie w Galicji Zachodniej, natomiast w Galicji Wschodniej narodowe walki wyzwoleńcze ukraińskich hetmanów i poetów zajęły stałe miejsce w lokalnej pamięci. Ci, którzy podążają śladami oficjalnych pomników i tablic pamiątkowych rzadko dowiadują się o żydowskiej Galicji i jej zniszczeniu w obozach w Auschwitz i Majdanku, o polskiej arystokracji, która pozostawiła swój ślad w Galicji Wschodniej dzięki posiadłościom i pałacom, zanim została deportowana przez NKWD i stracona w białoruskich lasach, o niemieckojęzycznych urzędnikach państwowych i kupcach w dawnych prowincjonalnych miastach monarchii habsburskiej, których potomkowie zostali zmuszeni przez Hitlera w 1939 roku do powrotu do "domu, do Rzeszy!", o prawosławnych chłopach mówiących ukraińsko-rosyjskimi dialektami, uprawiających pola na stokach Beskidu Niskiego i Karpat Zachodnich, którzy zostali złapani w pułapkę etnicznych walk między Polakami i Ukraińcami i prawie przestali istnieć jako niezależna grupa etniczna w Polsce w latach 40-tych XX w. Wyobrażenia o Galicji, w których ujmowani są jedynie Polacy na Zachodzie i Ukraińcy na Wschodzie, odrzuca owe bogate korzenie. (Tłumaczenie na j. polski - Dominika Kopaczek na podstawie tłumaczenia z j. ang. Marianny Schwalbe) „У Західній Галичині в першу чергу згадують про пов'язану з великими жертвами боротьбу Польщі проти терору українських банд, у Східній Галичині про національну визвольну боротьбу українських гетьманів та великих поетів. Хто вірить офіційним пам'ятникам та меморіальним дошкам, той навряд чи дізнається про єврейську Галичину та її загибель у таборах смерті Аушвіца та Майданека; про польську шляхту, яка, перед депортацією через НКВД та розстрілом у білоруських лісах, наклала свій відбиток у Східній Галичині поміщицькими садибами та палацами; про німецькомовних купців та державних службовців у містах колишніх провінцій Габсбурзької монархії, нащадки яких Гітлер у 1939 році примусив повернутися „додому в імперію“; про православних селян, розмовлявших на українсько-російському діалекті, які обробляли схили Низьких Бескидів та Західних Карпат, що потрапили у 20-тих роках у жорна боротьби між поляками та українцями

  • Genocide in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia 1943–1944
    The Person and the Challenges Volume 3 (2013) Number 2, p. 29–49 Paweł Naleźniak The Institute of National Remembrance, Cracow, Poland Genocide in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia 1943–1944 Abstract Ukrainian nationalists tried to de-polonize the South-Eastern Borderlands by means of mass genocide and they achieved this goal to a great extent. That, however, puts them on a par with the criminal regimes of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. The author of this article describes the genocide of Polish inhabitants in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia committed by the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (Orhanizatsiya Ukrayins’kykh Natsionalistiv, OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainska Povstanska Armiya, UPA) between 1943 and 1944. These events in European history are not well-known. Keywords Genocide, Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, Ukrainian Nationalists, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. From the European perspective of the history of World War II, the genocide committed by the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (Orhanizatsiya Ukrayins’kykh Natsionalistiv, OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Ukrainska Povstanska Armiya, UPA) on the Polish inhabitants of Volhynia and Eastern Galicia between 1943 and 1944 remains a little-known event. Among the foreign historians, only Timothy Snyder mentions it in fragments in his fundamental work Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Skrwawione ziemie1). The enslavement at Poland after World War II restricted an in depth research only to the crimes committed by the Germans. Today, an average Polish citizen knows a lot about the extermination of the Poles and the Jews; it is also a part of the curriculum in Polish schools to organize trips to Auschwitz and other extermination camps.

Married: Bromislawa Schrenzel January 4, 1924. 105 MEDICAL PRACTIONERS TARGETED BY ZBV I can fully agree with the now classic testimony of Polish Prime Minister, Joseph Cyrankiewicz, a former prisoner of Oswiecim (Auschwitz) extermination camp, and a witness during the trial of the camp commander Rudolf Hess. He testified, when called by the prosecutor to tell the truth, and declared categorically that alas, in spite of his best efforts and intentions, he cannot relate the truth accurately, since no human being can describe truthfully the enormities of the crimes, that quantitatively and qualitatively exceed human imagination. Nevertheless, I cannot remain silent or resign myself to inaction. The spilled blood of millions of our innocent brothers calls loudly and incessantly for justice. The shadows and souls of our Martyrs visit us in our dreams and keep us company in every step of reality, calling for hunting and punishing the perpetrators. They show the bleeding wounds and lacerated hands, bodies infected and torn by Gestapo dogs… their faces deformed by suffering deaths in gas chambers with bloody foam on their lips.

  • Paper for B(&N
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 8 • No. 11 • November 2018 doi:10.30845/ijhss.v8n11p1 The Planning and Architecture of Deportation, Imprisonment and Death - Reflections on the Ethical Implications of the Holocaust for Built and Natural Environment Disciplines Richard Kötter Senior Lecturer in Economic /Political Geography Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences School of the Built and Natural Environment Faculty of Engineering and Environment Northumbria University Lewis Preston Formerly Senior Lecturer in Architecture School of the Built and Natural Environment Northumbria University Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST. Abstract This paper is based on an exchange and dialogue between two academics on how the legacy of the Nazi period is relevant for built environment, planning and human geography disciplines.We argue that we should be reflecting on the conduct and utility of spatial and urban planning and design in the Nazi period from the perspective of professional ethics, not just as a historical reflection and remembrance but also to inform current and future generations of professionals. Keywords: National Socialist (NS / Nazi) spatial planning and urban design; professional conduct and ethics, Holocaust / Shoah / Porajnos 1, „tabula rasa“; Oswiecim / Auschwitz; German occupation of Poland from 1939. 2 1.0 Architecture and Planning‚ Post-Auschwitz‘? Taking their cue from Adorno„s text on „education after Auschwitz“ in the 1960s 3, a whole series of professions have asked this question for their respective field: what do the events of Auschwitz (as the central symbolic reference space) and the genocide in Europe more broadly perpetrated by Nazi Germany and her collaborateurs mean for the actors of the following generations ? 4 We shall restrict ourself to a consideration (informed by historiographies) of the disciplines of architecture and urban construction (Rose, 1993, Gutschow, 2001; Willems, 2000), spatial planning and urban design (Rössler, 1989 and 2001, in Szöllösi-Janze, M.

Introduction his educational module deals with testimonies of children from Jewish communities in Eastern Galicia – today the western Ukraine. TThese communities experienced pre-war Polish rule, the Soviet occupation from September 1939 to June 1941, and the German occupation from then on until liberation by the Soviet Army in 1944. During the time of German occupation, the Jewish population in the entire area was wiped out by the Germans and their Ukrainian collaborators. Between the summer of 1941 and the winter of 1943, Galician Jews were subjected to three massive waves of killings resulting in the murder of more than 500,000 Jews out of the 600,000 who had resided there before the war.1 The surviving children were witness to periodically reoccurring waves of killing and terror, "Aktzyas" as they were called at the time, and their testimonies, presented in this teaching module, center around this experience.
