A Holocaust Education Program at Congregation Shaarey Tikvah A Holocaust Education Program at Congregation Shaarey Tikvah FACE TO FACE With History, A Survivor & Hope THE BUTTERFLY The last, the very last, So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow. Perhaps if the sun’s tears would sing against a white stone... Such, such a yellow Is carried lightly way up high. It went away I’m sure because it wished to kiss the world good-bye. For seven weeks I’ve lived in here, Penned up inside this ghetto. But I have found what I love here. The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut branches in the court. Only I never saw another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don’t live in here, in the ghetto. Pavel Friedmann Pavel Friedmann was born on January 7, 1921 in Prague and deported to Theresienstadt on April 26, 1942. His butterfly poem was written on June 4, 1942. He died in Auschwitz on September 29, 1944.

Under the cover of the Second World War, for the sake of their “new order,” the Nazis sought to destroy all the Jews of Europe. For the first time in history, industrial methods were used for the mass extermination of a whole people. This event is called the Holocaust. The Nazis enslaved and murdered millions of others as well. Gypsies, people with physical and mental disabilities, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, trade unionists, political opponents, prisoners of conscience, homosexuals, and others were killed in vast numbers. Definition Two. The Holocaust refers to a specific genocidal event in twentieth century history: the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims—6 million were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped, and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, and political dissidents also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny. Definition Three. The Holocaust was the murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators. Between the German invasion of the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941 and the end of the war in Europe in 1945, Nazi Germany and its accomplices strove to murder every Jew under their domination. Because Nazi discrimination against the Jews began with Hitler’s accession to power in January 1933, many historians consider this the start of the Holocaust era. The Jews were not the only victims of Hitler’s regime, but they were the only group that the Nazis sought to destroy entirely. Questions to consider: What are the similarities among the three definitions? What are the differences? The definitions are from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (Washington, DC), Yad Vashem -- The World Holocaust Remembrance Center (Jerusalem), and the Imperial War Museum (London). Can you guess which definition goes with which organization? * Why do you suppose the differences exist? Does the mission/function of an organization affect how it chooses to define the Holocaust? Which definition would you choose if you had to choose one? Why? * 1. Imperial War Museum 2. USHMM https://www.ushmm.org/learn/students 3. Yad Vashem- https://www.yadvashem.org/exhibitions.html 1.

HOLOCAUST VOCABULARY ANNIHILATION- complete destruction. ANTISEMITISM- hatred of Jews and Judaism. ARYAN- originally, a term for peoples speaking the languages of Europe and India. It was twisted by the Nazis, who viewed those of Germanic background as “racially superior” and Jews and other races as “inferior” and a threat to the purity of their “master race”. ARYANIZATION- the process whereby the Nazis hoped to remove Jews and “other inferior races” from Germany and ultimately, the world. CREMATORIUM- ovens used to cremate (burn) human corpses. GAS CHAMBER- room in Concentration Camps used to put human beings to death with poison gas. GHETTO- isolated area within a city, often walled, in which Jews were forced to live.

JUDENRAT- a ghetto Jewish council set up by the Nazis and under their strict control. KINDERTRANSPORT- a program which brought 10,000 Jewish children from Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia to England without their parents in late 1938 and during the first eight months of 1939. KRISTALLNACHT- “Night of Broken Glass” -November 9, 1938 when 191 synagogues in Germany and Austria were burned and thousands more were vandalized or looted, thousands of Jewish businesses and homes were destroyed, 30,000 Jews were arrested, and more than 200 Jews were murdered. Now called Pogromnacht (see pogrom below) by German historians to reflect that much more than glass was broken. NAZI - A short term for a member of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, a right-wing political party formed in 1919. “The Nazi Party” was strongly anti-Communist, antisemitic, racist, nationalistic, imperialistic and militaristic. NUREMBERG LAWS- Nazi laws passed in September 1935 which revoked Jews’ German citizenship, defined Jews racially, and prohibited Jewish-Aryan sexual relations and marriages. PARTISAN- resistance fighter. POGROM-a violent riot against a minority group, especially Jews. RESETTLEMENT- term used by Nazis as a euphemism for deportation to concentration camps or death. RIGHTEOUS GENTILES- non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews. SWASTIKA- twisted cross, Nazi symbol. THIRD REICH -"Third Empire"- term given by Hitler to his regime (1933-1945). TOTALITARIANISM- a form of government in which the State exercises total control over much of its citizens’ lives. ZYKLON B- poison gas pellets used in the gas chambers. 3.

    THE MIRIAM WEINER ARCHIVAL COLLECTION BABI YAR (in Kiev), Ukraine September 29-30, 1941 From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/kiev-and-babi-yar "On September 29-30, 1941, SS and German police units and their auxiliaries, under guidance of members of Einsatzgruppe C, murdered a large portion of the Jewish population of Kiev at Babi Yar, a ravine northwest of the city. As the victims moved into the ravine, Einsatzgruppen detachments from Sonderkommando 4a under SS- Standartenführer Paul Blobel shot them in small groups. According to reports by the Einsatzgruppe to headquarters, 33,771 Jews were massacred in this two-day period. This was one of the largest mass killings at an individual location during World War II. It was surpassed only by the massacre of 50,000 Jews at Odessa by German and Romanian units in October 1941 and by the two-day shooting operation Operation Harvest Festival in early November 1943, which claimed 42,000-43,000 Jewish victims." From Wikipedia.org https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babi_Yar According to the testimony of a truck driver named Hofer, victims were ordered to undress and were beaten if they resisted: "I watched what happened when the Jews—men, women and children—arrived. The Ukrainians[b] led them past a number of different places where one after the other they had to give up their luggage, then their coats, shoes and over- garments and also underwear. They also had to leave their valuables in a designated place. There was a special pile for each article of clothing.

  • 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.

  • Sept. 19, 2019 Attorney General Phil Weiser to Address Hatred and Extremism at Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Melanie Avner, [email protected], 720-670-8036 Attorney General Phil Weiser to Address Hatred and Extremism at Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony Sept. 22 Denver, CO (Sept. 19, 2019) – Attorney General Phil Weiser will give a special address on confronting hate and extremism at the Mizel Museum’s annual Babi Yar Remembrance Ceremony on Sunday, September 22 at 10:00 a.m. at Babi Yar Memorial Park (10451 E. Yale Ave., Denver). The event commemorates the Babi Yar Massacre and honors all victims and survivors of the Holocaust. “The rise in anti-Semitism and other vicious acts of hatred in the U.S. and around the world underscore the need to confront racism and bigotry in our communities,” said Weiser. “We must honor and remember the victims of the Holocaust, learning from the lessons of the past in order to combat intolerance and hate in the world today.” Weiser’s grandparents and mother survived the Holocaust; his mother is one of the youngest living survivors. She was born in the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, and she and her mother were liberated the next day by the Second Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. Nearly 34,000 Jews were executed at the Babi Yar ravine on the outskirts of Kiev in Nazi-occupied Ukraine on September 29-30, 1941. This was one of the largest mass murders at an individual location during World War II. Between 1941 and 1943, thousands more Jews, Roma, Communists and Soviet prisoners of war also were killed there. It is estimated that some 100,000 people were murdered at Babi Yar during the war.

  • “And Then They Came for Me...”
    “AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME...” (Image: The National WWII Museum, 2014.057.036_1.) Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party’s rise to power in Germany ushered in an era of attacks against people Hitler deemed undesirable. Jews living across Europe became the primary target of Nazi hatred and violence. Attacks against other groups of people—such as individuals with mental or physical disabilities, political prisoners, Romani, Soviet citizens and prisoners of war, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, Slavs, and Jehovah’s Witnesses—also became a part of the Nazi program to “purify” German society. Those who did not fit within Nazi standards of a “master race” faced capture and horrific brutality in the attempted genocide now known as the Holocaust. From 1939 to 1941, the Nazis steadily took steps toward a formal policy of extermination. Known as the Final Solution, this policy spread to each region that fell under Nazi rule throughout World War II. Anti-Semitism had been present throughout Europe for centuries, peaking during times of upheaval, such as the Crusades or outbreaks of plague. This historical precedent perpetuated hateful stereotypes that again resurfaced in the era of upheaval that followed Germany’s defeat in World War I. While anti-Semitism had been limited to fringe political groups, the rising popularity of the Nazi Party helped promote ideas of segregating and removing the Jewish population from the region. While not all Germans actively supported the anti-Semitic attacks taken by the Nazis, many adopted an attitude of indifference toward the treatment of their Jewish neighbors.

The camps were opened over the course of nearly two years, 1940-1942. Auschwitz closed in January 1945 with its liberation by the Soviet army. More than 1.1 million people died at Auschwitz, including nearly one million Jews. Those who were not sent directly to gas chambers were sentenced to forced labor. The Auschwitz complex differed from the other Nazi killing centers because it included a concentration camp and a labor camp as well as large gas chambers and crematoria at Birkenau constructed for the mass murder of European Jews.
