  • 1 KING of CHILDREN Betty Jean Liffton (Biography of Janusz Korczak)
    KING OF CHILDREN Betty Jean Liffton (Biography of Janusz Korczak) Who was Janusz Korczak? “The lives of great men are like legends-difficult but beautiful.” Janusz Korczak once wrote, and it was true of his. Yet most Americans have never heard of Korczak, Polish-Jewish children’s writer and educator who is as well known in Europe as Anne Frank. Like her, he died in the Holocaust and left behind a diary; unlike her, he had a chance to escape that fate-a chance he chose not to take. His legend began on August 6, 1942; during the early stages of the Nazi liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto-though his dedication to destitute children was legendary long before the war. When the Germans ordered his famous orphanage evacuated, Korczak was forced to gather together the two hundred children in his care. He led them with quiet dignity on that final march through the ghetto streets to the train that would take them to “resettlement in the East ” -the Nazi euphemism for the death camp Treblinka. He was to die as Henryk Goldszmit, the name he was born with, but it was by his pseudonym that he would be remembered. It was Janusz Korczak who introduced progressive orphanages designed as just communities into Poland, founded the first national children’s newspaper, trained teachers in what we now call moral education, and worked in juvenile courts defending children’s rights. His books How to Love a Child and The Child’s Right to Respect gave parents and teachers new insights into child psychology.

  • Holocaust Archaeology: Archaeological Approaches to Landscapes of Nazi Genocide and Persecution
    HOLOCAUST ARCHAEOLOGY: ARCHAEOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO LANDSCAPES OF NAZI GENOCIDE AND PERSECUTION BY CAROLINE STURDY COLLS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The landscapes and material remains of the Holocaust survive in various forms as physical reminders of the suffering and persecution of this period in European history. However, whilst clearly defined historical narratives exist, many of the archaeological remnants of these sites remain ill-defined, unrecorded and even, in some cases, unlocated. Such a situation has arisen as a result of a number of political, social, ethical and religious factors which, coupled with the scale of the crimes, has often inhibited systematic search. This thesis will outline how a non- invasive archaeological methodology has been implemented at two case study sites, with such issues at its core, thus allowing them to be addressed in terms of their scientific and historical value, whilst acknowledging their commemorative and religious significance.

RESUMEN El examen de los criterios seguidos por el régimen nazi en su persecución e intento de aniquilación de los judíos europeos revela graves incoherencias con un modelo de persecución por motivos religiosos o raciales. Se defiende que el único sentido posible de la persecución fue cultural y, específicamente, moral. La reeducación y/o rehabilitación social de los judíos fue considerada imposible desde los inicios del régimen y del sistema de campos de concentración, juzgándose necesario establecer centros de exterminio ad hoc, los cuales, a pesar de su eficacia asesina, fracasaron en el deseo del régimen de proceder con la debida Anständigkeit y fueron por tanto sustituidos por el sistema de Auschwitz. Toda la evolución tecnológica y organizativa de la Solución Final desde los Einsatzgruppen hasta Birkenau presenta una evolución objetiva hacia formas cada vez más impersonales y asépticas de exterminio, evidenciando un componente moral en la toma de decisiones con frecuencia ignorado o ridiculizado. La conclusión define la Solución Final como una guerra moral, es decir, de destrucción de una moral por otra mediante la eliminación de su base biológica.

    EDUCATOR’S GUIDE The Flag with Fifty-six Stars A Gift from the Survivors of Mauthausen by Susan Goldman Rubin illustrated in full color by Bill Farnsworth 1 8 ⁄2 x 11 • Reinforced Hardcover ISBN 0-8234-1653-4 • $16.95 40 pages • Ages 6–10 ABOUT THE BOOK On May 6,1945, when members of the 11th Armored Division of the U.S. Army marched into Mauthausen concentration camp, they were presented with an extraordinary gift. A group of prisoners had surreptitiously pieced together a U.S. flag with an extra row of stars. This inspiring account of the liberation of one of the Third Reich’s most infamous camps is a tribute to the humanity and hope preserved by the survivors.

Analysis of the text in the editions of 1923 and 1927 5. The answer about the language to be chosen 6. Analysis of the text in the editions of 1937, 1950 and 1970 7. The reasons for the changes in the text 8. Conclusions Thanks References Abstract. The question about a universal language and particularly about Esperanto is treated in a subchapter in the book Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era, which is an officially sanctioned presentation about Bahá’í religion. In the original edition of 1923 the support for Esperanto was clearly expressed, because the leader of the religion, ’Abdu’l-Bahá, supported the idea about Esperanto as a Universal Language, and several times urged Bahá’ís to learn it. The author of the book, J. E. Esslemont, learned it and even practiced Esperanto on his deathbed. Quotations, however, show that there was a discussion also about other planned languages among Bahá’ís. In the editions of 1937, 1950 and 1970, the final part of the presentation about Esperanto was modified. The author shows that the reason of the change is that Esperanto in Bahá’í is associated with millenarian expecta- tions of the “Most High Peace” and the “Coming of the Kingdom of God” in 1957.

The mere mention of these places and others like them is a devastating reminder of the ultimate experience in human suffering. These were a few of the many concentration camps -- death camps -- designed to carry out Hitler's Final Solution: to exterminate as many Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, and Homosexuals as possible and create a supreme Aryan' society. Millions upon millions of innocent civilians would suffer miserable deaths before the liberation would come.2 Who were these per- secutors? While the Nazis3 devised "the plan," supplied the materials and man-power to build the camps, and supervised these atrocities, only a few of the death camps were actually located in Germany. The camps were situated in various Slavic countries which had capitulated under Nazi onslaught.' To assist them in their crimes, the Nazis obtained the cooperation of some of the local people and prisoners of war.' Whether their participation was voluntary or not, 1.

  • Grace in Auschwitz: a Glimpse of Light in Utter Darkness
    Grace in Auschwitz: A Glimpse of Light in Utter Darkness By Jean-Pierre Fortin A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Michael‟s College and the Department of Theology of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Awarded by the University of St. Michael‟s College © Copyright by Jean-Pierre Fortin 2014 Grace in Auschwitz: A Glimpse of Light in Utter Darkness Jean-Pierre Fortin Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael‟s College 2014 Abstract Since the postmodern human condition and relationship to God were forged directly in the crucible of or in response to Auschwitz (the Shoah), the Christian theology of grace cannot elude the challenge of radical evil it paradigmatically embodies and symbolizes. The present dissertation attempts to provide a theology of grace that would enable twenty-first century postmoderns to meaningfully relate to the Christian tradition. A theological interface accomplishing the transposition of the theology and categories of the traditional account of grace into ones accessible to twenty-first century westerners is therefore constructed. By means of the study of landmark literary, philosophical and theological works on Auschwitz produced by individuals who directly suffered it, an attempt at monitoring the human (and ultimately postmodern) condition, experience and evolution (in themselves and in relation to the transcendent) through time from before, through the event and up to the experience of renewed freedom is made. This is followed by the consideration of the reality of grace as it has been experienced, reflected upon and understood by western Christianity.
