  • Using Diaries to Understand the Final Solution in Poland
    Miranda Walston Witnessing Extermination: Using Diaries to Understand the Final Solution in Poland Honours Thesis By: Miranda Walston Supervisor: Dr. Lauren Rossi 1 Miranda Walston Introduction The Holocaust spanned multiple years and states, occurring in both German-occupied countries and those of their collaborators. But in no one state were the actions of the Holocaust felt more intensely than in Poland. It was in Poland that the Nazis constructed and ran their four death camps– Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno, and Belzec – and created combination camps that both concentrated people for labour, and exterminated them – Auschwitz and Majdanek.1 Chelmno was the first of the death camps, established in 1941, while Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec were created during Operation Reinhard in 1942.2 In Poland, the Nazis concentrated many of the Jews from countries they had conquered during the war. As the major killing centers of the “Final Solution” were located within Poland, when did people in Poland become aware of the level of death and destruction perpetrated by the Nazi regime? While scholars have attributed dates to the “Final Solution,” predominantly starting in 1942, when did the people of Poland notice the shift in the treatment of Jews from relocation towards physical elimination using gas chambers? Or did they remain unaware of such events? To answer these questions, I have researched the writings of various people who were in Poland at the time of the “Final Solution.” I am specifically addressing the information found in diaries and memoirs. Given language barriers, this thesis will focus only on diaries and memoirs that were written in English or later translated and published in English.3 This thesis addresses twenty diaries and memoirs from people who were living in Poland at the time of the “Final Solution.” Most of these diaries (fifteen of twenty) were written by members of the intelligentsia.

  • The Europeanization of Holocaust and World War II Memory in Poland – General Remarks1
    DOI: 10.33067/SE.2.2019.1 Elisabeth Wassermann* The Europeanization of Holocaust and World War II Memory in Poland – General Remarks1 Abstract The article presents a summary of the refl ections and research of the author (and the wider research team) on the Europeanization of heritage and memory in Holocaust and World War II museums, exhibitions and educational projects in Poland and gives a theoretical overview on the issue. In how far does the Polish way of commemoration refl ect the postulates of academic research in this fi eld? Currently in Europe, the trend in historical museums shifts from the sheer presentation of the past towards a more open format, including references to human rights, tolerance and non-discrimination. Furthermore, European museology develops towards being a platform of democratic discussion and the negotiation of meanings. What can be the potential role of Polish Holocaust and World War II museums? And how are these postulates in practice realized in cultural institutions and museums dealing with one of the greatest disasters in modern history? The research sample included the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, the State Museum at Majdanek, the Home Army Museum in Kraków, the Ulma Family Museum of Poles Saving Jews in World War II in Markowa and a number of other institutions in Poland. Key words: Europeanization, Heritage, Memory, War Museums, Holocaust * Elisabeth Wassermann – Jagiellonian University, e-mail: el.wassermann@gmail. com, ORCID: 0000-0001-9640-2765. 1 The article is a result of the project “The Europeanization of realms of memory and the invention of a common European heritage” (2013–2019) which was funded by the National Science Centre on the basis of allocation decision DEC-2013/08/M/HS6/00041.

  • “Jewish Life: Diversity and Experience” Teacher's
    Pre-Virtual Experience Activity “Jewish Life: Diversity and Experience” Teacher’s Guide Time Needed: 1-3 hours Teacher Note: Many of the resources for this activity are located on the IWitness website. Please register at http://iwitness.usc.edu and create your free account in order to access the resources. Introduction: The area that is now Poland had, on the eve of World War II, been home to Jewish communities for over 800 years. The genocide of European Jewry carried out by the German Nazis and their collaborators occurred under the cover of the Second World War across Europe. The events were complex, multilayered, occurred over a period of years, and were interlinked with the military events of the Second World War. As a result, it is not possible to present a simple lesson that addresses this complexity. The focus of this Virtual Experience is on a visit to Poland. Unlike Germany, where it is possible to trace gradual legalized antisemitic actions carried out by the Nazi regime, legislation in Poland happened overnight when the Nazis invaded and conquered the country in September 1939. The focus of this activity is Poland. However, it is important that students understand the diversity of European Jewry, and it is recommended they spend time reading the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum article (see Part I Resources), as well as viewing testimony. It should also be remembered that of the 3.3 million Jews in Poland before the Second World War only 45,000 remained, therefore the stories we have of the experience of genocide come from a surviving minority.

The participation of the Polish Blue Police and Polish Criminal Police in the Extermination of Jews], Wydawnictwo Czarne, Wołowiec 2020. During a pandemic, issues such as historical publications become of secondary importance, giving way to other aspects of our social life. That is why the launch of Jan Grabowski's book Na posterunku. Udział polskiej policji granatowej i kryminalnej w zagładzie Żydów has gone by practically unnoticed. The author, who has been dealing with the subject of the Holocaust in Poland for years, is as well-known as he is controversial. His theses, concerning the conscious and voluntary participation of Poles in the Holocaust, presented in the book Judenjagd. Polowanie na Żydów 1942–1945. Studium dziejów pewnego powiatu (2011) and the collective work edited by him and Barbara Engelking Dalej jest noc. Losy Żydów w wybranych powiatach okupowanej Polski (2018) – have sparked off numerous disputes.

The Function of Memory from the Warsaw Ghetto as Presented by the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews Abstract Because of the extreme challenges they endured within Warsaw Ghetto and the slim chance they had at survival, the Jewish people sought to protect their legacy and leave a lasting impact on the world. They did so by both documenting their experiences, preserving them in what was known as the Oyneg Shabes archives, and by engaging in a bold act of defiance against the Nazis with the arsawW Ghetto Uprising in 1943, rewriting the narrative of Jewish passivity. With both instances, the POLIN Museum presents these moments of the past and shapes a collective memory based on a Jewish perspective with which the public can engage.

Part of the effort to personalize the history is to see how the same historical event impacted individuals in unique and varied ways. These workshops examine the experience of the Holocaust through a few of the many perspectives of those who lived through it. They will focus on the policy and experience of perpetration based on geography – specifically focusing on Eastern Europe. Each workshop will feature primary source documents and resources for classroom use. Pending availability, a survivor representing a specific geographic experience will be interviewed during each session. Content and activities are appropriate for junior high, middle school and high school educators ONLY.
