    Opening Statements Opening Ceremony Remarks at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Mr. Miles Lerman CHAIRMAN, UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COUNCIL UNITED STATES It is proper and most fitting that this conference began with a symbolic ceremony of silent contemplation in the Hall of Remembrance of the Holocaust Memorial Museum where we invoked memory and paid tribute to those who were consumed in the Nazi inferno. Now let me welcome you to the Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is pleased to co-chair with the State Department this historic event. For the next three days representatives of 44 countries will have the opportunity to explore a just and orderly return of confiscated assets to their rightful owners. It took over 50 years for the world to come to grips with the fact that the biggest murder of the century; it was also, as my friend Ben Meed reminds us, the biggest robbery in history. This fact is not limited to one country only. What really shocked the conscience of the world was the discovery that even after the war, some countries tried to gain materially from this cataclysm by refusing to return to the rightful owners what was justly theirs. The refusal to respond to these rightful claims was a great injustice, a moral wrong which can not be ignored. And this is what brings us together today. We are here to make sure that these wrongs are corrected in a just and proper manner. 4 WASHINGTON CONFERENCE ON HOLOCAUST-ERA ASSETS Under Secretary Eizenstat and Edgar Bronfman deserve our gratitude for their unrelenting efforts to bring about full accountability for all wrongs that must be made right.

  • Transforming Remembrance in the Former Death Camp Belzec – a Short History
    Transforming remembrance in the former death camp Belzec – a short history STEFFEN HÄNSCHEN Bildungswerk Stanislaw Hantz hich history stands behind the name Belzec? In most cases an average citizen in Germany or in any other European country could not answer this question. In Poland some people would know, that a small village with this name exists in South East Poland close to the Ukrainian border, which is somehow connected with the Holocaust. WBelzec is indeed one of the least known former death camps. Like most extermination centres of the 1940s it has only a small place in the public memory of the Holocaust. The Holocaust is symbolically strongly connected with the name of Auschwitz that became the universal catch-word, the main symbol of the extermination of the Jewish population in Europe. But only specialists on the subject could tell you more about thousands of other places associated with the Holocaust like Belzec, Panierai near Vilnius in Lithuania or Piaski in the outskirts of Lvov in Ukraine. The few known facts we know about these places mostly come from few survivors and eyewitnesses of the Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe. This testimony has guaranteed in the past 70 years, that memorials have been built, extermination sites commemorated and historical education developed. Nevertheless, the situation has always been difficult for sites for which no witness could be found. In Eastern Europe, a second problem has been the official politics of the Soviet-Union and other socialist states towards the Holocaust, which for more than 40 years did not support any active commemoration of Jewish suffering during the Nazi occupation.

Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: L.F. Allwork Date: 15/09/2011 2 Abstract Holocaust Memory for the Millennium fills a significant gap in existing Anglophone case studies on the political, institutional and social construction of the collective memory of the Holocaust since 1945 by critically analyzing the causes, consequences and ‘cosmopolitan’ intellectual and institutional context for understanding the Stockholm International Forum on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research (26 th January-28 th January 2000). This conference was a global event, with ambassadors from 46 nations present and attempted to mark a defining moment in the inter-cultural construction of the political and institutional memory of the Holocaust in the United States of America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Israel. This analysis is based on primary documentation from the London (1997) and Washington (1998) restitution conferences; Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance and Research primary sources; speeches and presentations made at the Stockholm International Forum 2000; oral history interviews with a cross-section of British delegates to the conference; contemporary press reports,

The Council’s goal is to make the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum the principal center supporting Holocaust studies in the United States. The Center’s programs include research and publication projects designed to shed new light on Holocaust-related subjects that have been studied previously, to fill gaps in the literature, and to make access to study of the Holocaust easier for new and established scholars and for the general public. The Center offers fellowship and visiting scholar opportunities designed to bring pre- and post-doctoral scholars, at various career stages, to the Museum for extended periods of research in the Museum’s growing archival collections and to prepare manuscripts for publication based on Holocaust-related research. Fellows and research associates participate in the full range of intellectual activities of the Museum and are provided the opportunity to make presentations of their work at the Center and at universities locally and nationwide.

  • Stephen Dixon.Pdf (11.27Mb)
    ABSTRACT Archaeological and Anthropological Aspects of the Holocaust from a Jewish Perspective by Stephen Dixon B.Sc. The intention of this research is to offer innovative ideas on methods that can be utilised by academics and historians within a conflict context. The framework that will support the overall research is from that of an archaeological, anthropological and memory driven perspective. Discussion will turn to individual components such as liminality, monumentality, the built environment and landscape theory highlighting Nazi segregation policies. Analysis of ghettoisation, deportation and extermination policy through archaeological sub-disciplines and anthropology as well as comparison to other world atrocity sites will take place. This will illustrate that detection of similar techniques of incarceration are recognisable as modes of controlling fear whilst simultaneously achieving a terror regime. Initially propaganda policy of the National Socialist Party in both pre and World War II settings in Germany and throughout parts of Europe helped to fuel the already present culture of antisemitism. A significant and sinister shift in decision-making witnessed a move from persecution to exclusion and isolation that saw major cities already damaged by invasion and warfare ‘holding’ Jews in purposefully manufactured locations that was a preparatory step towards genocide. Ghettoisation facilitated the next stage in the process, deportation by train to extermination centres, as communities were despatched from ‘round-up’ points to ‘unknown destinations’ further east. At all times Jews were vulnerable and were placed into landscapes of terror, although either the strong individual or Nazi methods of control, at times, suppressed fear. Arrival at industrialised death camps was the final stage of a journey for the majority that culminated in death, but not before further measures that reduced the individual to a state beyond life, a liminal entity in a place where extreme conditions prevailed.

Jewish Resistance in World War II & Zionism: Making Aliyah in the Death Camps An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in History. By Cierra Tomaso Under the mentorship of Dr. Brian K. Feltman ​ ABSTRACT My thesis examines the contributions of Jewish resistance fighters in Europe during World War II. The sources used are primarily memoirs of resistance fighters, primary documents from resistance groups, and secondary articles related to Zionism during that time period. The resistance movement began because there was a need for dismantling the Third Reich from within the bounds of the ghettos, the death camps, and the killing fields. This thesis will show that Zionism played a key role in the motivations of the Jewish resistance fighters in World War II. Additionally, it will examine how as Jews found that their home countries sought to cut ties with them, they found refuge in their new identity as Zionists.
