Intimacy Imprisoned: Intimate Human Relations in The
INTIMACY IMPRISONED: INTIMATE HUMAN RELATIONS IN THE HOLOCAUST CAMPS In fulfillment of EUH 6990 Dr. Daniel E. Miller 1 December 2000 Donna R. Fluharty 2 Each person surviving the Holocaust has their own personal narrative. A great number of these narratives have been written; many have been published. It is important for personal accounts to be told by each survivor, as each narrative brings a different perspective to the combined history. Knowing this, I dedicate my research to the narratives I was unable to read, whether they were simply unavailable or, unfortunately, unwritten. More importantly, this research is dedicated to those whose stories will never be told. 3 In his book Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl states that a human being is able to withstand any condition if there is sufficient meaning to his existence, a theme which permeates the entire work. 1 For a significant number of people, the right to this search for meaning was denied by a Holocaust which took the lives of an undetermined number of European Jews, war criminals, homosexuals, Gypsies, children, and mentally or physically handicapped persons. This denial of humanness was an essential component of Adolph Hitler’s plan to elevate the Aryan nation and rid the world of undesirables. In spite of laws which dictated human associations, through the triumph of the human spirit, certain prisoners of the Nazi ghettos, labor camps, and death camps were able to survive. Many of these survivors have graced the academic and public world with a written account of their experiences as prisoners of the Nazis. -
Treblinka NP Articles.Pdf
Documentary filmmaker Alan Tomlinson’s first reaction to WLRN general manager John LaBonia’s pitch for a film about the Treblinka death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland was muted. “Another film about the Holocaust? It’s kind of been done,” the Miami TV producer/director behind documentary features Nixon’s the One: The ’68 Election (2010), Muhammad Ali: Made in Miami (2008) and Plagues: The Ebola Riddle (2001), said of his initial feeling. “As a filmmaker, what can I add to this? I’m not even Jewish. You’re kind of in tricky territory and it’s a delicate subject.” But LaBonia, eager to continue WLRN’s mission as a storytelling channel rather than one completely reliant on public broadcasting’s national feed, felt he was on to something. Tomlinson’s resulting feature- length movie, Treblinka’s Last Witness, which offers a first-hand account by the last-known living survivor, premieres on WLRN-17 at 8 p.m. Oct. 28. The film will be previewed with a free public screening and discussion at 6 p.m. Tuesday at downtown Miami’s Olympia Theater at Gusman Center. The journey from idea to opening began for the WLRN team in 2010, when LaBonia visited the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg. There, he spotted an exhibit that displayed a boxcar from the Treblinka camp, where an estimated 900,000 Jews were slaughtered over a period of 13 months at the height of World War II. Wedged into the floorboards sat a little girl’s gold ring. Did it slip off or was it purposely wedged there for safekeeping by an innocent youngster who figured she’d return to claim the jewelry at a later date? Who knows? But LaBonia was struck by the image and compelled to conduct research. -

Treblinka: Death Camp to Commemoration Site
Reese Treblinka: Death Camp to Commemoration Site Treblinka: Death Camp to Commemoration Site Stephanie Reese, History Dr. Natalie Belsky, Assistant Professor, History University of Minnesota-Duluth Preface: The history of Treblinka is one that I was not familiar with before May 2019. I was fortunate enough to travel to Poland as part of a study abroad program where I was able to visit the site of the death camp, Treblinka. After visiting and learning more about its history, I knew that it was a subject I needed to study further. My visit was truly life-changing. The Treblinka memorial is successful and thought-provoking. For me personally, the lack of material at the Treblinka memorial caused my visit to be much more meaningful. I was forced to imagine where the buildings were based on the model in the education center/museum. After I imagined where the buildings were, my mind took me to a dark place of imagining what the people deported to Treblinka were going through. How did they feel in the transport trains? What were they thinking when they arrived? Did they know what their fate would be? Those are only a few of the questions that came to mind as I walked through the field of stones that comprise the memorial field. The strangest thing during my visit was the birds singing, sun shining, and the overall beautiful environment I was standing in, despite knowing the atrocities that were committed there. It is my hope that through my research, I may gain some clarity on the topic of commemoration as a whole and why Treblinka was commemorated in this specific way. -

Organizacja Wojskowa Związek Jaszczurczy Na Pomorzu
ZAPISKI HISTORYCZNE — TOM LXXX — ROK 2015 Zeszyt 2 http://dx.doi.org/10.15762/ZH.2015.22 BOGDAN CHRZANOWSKI (Uniwersytet Gdański, Muzeum Stutthof) ORGANIZACJA WOJSKOWA ZWIĄZEK JASZCZURCZY NA POMORZU NIEZNANY DOKUMENT GESTAPO – PROTOKÓŁ PRZESŁUCHANIA ANDRZEJA ELJASZEWICZA – PRACOWNIKA EKSPOZYTURY „ZACHÓD” ODDZIAŁU II OW ZJ Słowa kluczowe: II wojna światowa, polskie podziemie, Organizacja Wojskowa Związek Jaszczurczy Organizacja Wojskowa Związek Jaszczurczy (OW ZJ) była jedną z wielu two- rzących Polskę Podziemną. Utworzyli ją w październiku 1939 r. działacze przedwo- jennego Obozu Narodowo-Radykalnego (ONR)1. We wrześniu 1942 r. ZJ wszedł w skład Narodowych Sił Zbrojnych. Na Pomorzu jednym spośród bardziej prężnych ośrodków działalności ONR stała się Szkoła Morska w Gdyni, gdzie pracował działacz tej organizacji – Mie- czysław Dukalski. Zwerbował on tam około 30 osób. Członkami Obozu Narodo- wo-Radykalnego w Gdyni byli także: Andrzej Eljaszewicz i Stanisław Leon Jeute. Podczas okupacji należeli oni do Związku Jaszczurczego2. Ciężkie warunki okupacyjne na Pomorzu spowodowały konieczność prowa- dzenia niektórych prac organizacyjnych pomorskiego ZJ w Generalnym Guber- natorstwie, głównie na terenie Warszawy3. P.o. Komendanta Okręgu Pomorskiego Organizacji Wojskowej Związek Jaszczurczy został M. Dukalski, ps. „Mieczysław”, „Mietek”, „Gruby” przebywający podczas okupacji w Warszawie. Zwerbowane przez niego osoby przerzucano na Pomorze. Prace organizacyjne prowadził tam m.in. kpt. rez. Arnold Nierzwicki, ps. „Krzysztof”, „Konrad”, „Marta”. Organizował on sieć wywiadu na terenach Pomorza oraz w Rzeszy. 1 Radykalni działacze Stronnictwa Narodowego i rozwiązanego w 1933 r. Obozu Wielkiej Polski w kwietniu 1934 r. założyli Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny. Był to wynik konfliktu starszych i młodszych działaczy odnoszących się do ideologii i metod działania w Polsce po zamachu majowym 1926 r. -

Despite the traumatic war experiences in German-occupied Poland, until the end of his life in 2016 Samuel Willenberg had the courage to return to his native country. Since leaving for Israel in 1950, he and his wife Krystyna have on numerous occasions traveled to Poland - either alone or as guides of Israeli youth. They became the spokespeople for good Polish-Jewish relations, openly talking about both the tragic and the beautiful events connecting these two groups of Polish citizens who had experienced the atrocities of German occupation. The Willenbergs are credible witnesses to the tragic fate of Polish citizens, especially of Jewish descent, during World War II. In September 1939, Samuel Willenberg, as a volunteer to the Polish Army, was wounded in a fight against the Soviets. In 1942 he found himself in a transport of 6,000 Opatów Ghetto Jews deported to Treblinka. After nine months, Willenberg escaped from the camp as a result of the prisoner rebellion. He later fought in the Warsaw Uprising. His future wife, Ada Lubelczyk was saved by the Majewski family who provided her shelter in their home. -

Last Survivor of Nazi Death Camp Treblinka Dies in Israel
Obituary: Samuel Willenberg (1923 – Feb 19, 2016) Last survivor of Nazi death camp Treblinka dies in Israel Published February 20, 2016 Fox News Holocaust survivor Samuel Willenberg displays a map of Treblinka extermination camp during an interview with the Associated Press at his house in Tel Aviv, Israel, Sunday, Oct. 31, 2010. (AP) Last survivor of Nazi death camp Treblinka dies in Israel Published February 20, 2016 Associated Press JERUSALEM – Samuel Willenberg, the last survivor of Treblinka, the Nazi death camp where 875,000 people were systematically murdered, has died in Israel at the age of 93. Only 67 people are known to have survived the camp, fleeing in a revolt shortly before it was destroyed. Treblinka holds a notorious place in history as perhaps the most vivid example of the "Final Solution," the Nazi plan to exterminate Europe's Jews. Unlike at other camps, where some Jews were assigned to forced labor before being killed, nearly all Jews brought to Treblinka were immediately gassed to death. Only a select few mostly young, strong men like Willenberg, who was 20 at the time were spared from immediate death and assigned to maintenance work instead. On Aug. 2, 1943, a group of Jews stole some weapons, set fire to the camp and headed to the woods. Hundreds fled, but most were shot and killed by Nazi troops in the surrounding mine fields or captured by Polish villagers who returned them to Treblinka. "The world cannot forget Treblinka," Willenberg told The Associated Press in a 2010 interview. He described how he was shot in the leg as he climbed over bodies piled at the barbed wire fence and catapulted over. -

Caroline Sturdy Colls O tym, co minęło, lecz nie zostało zapomniane. Badania archeologiczne na terenie byłego obozu zagłady w Treblince Nie udało się uwolnić od pozostałości po setkach tysię- cy ludzi, którzy przeszli przez to miejsce. D o w o d y rzeczowe, corpora delicti. Rachela Auerbach1 Wstęp Z pewnością potoczne wyobrażenie o Zagładzie wiąże się z Auschwitz-Birke- nau – z wiedzą o tamtejszych komorach gazowych, krematoriach oraz o systema- tycznym i przemysłowym mordowaniu ofiar, a także z ikonografią tego obozu2. Powszechne oswojenie się z tym miejscem bez wątpienia wynika z zachowania się zabudowań obozowych oraz istnienia zdjęć, publikowanych przez media od czasu wyzwolenia obozu w 1945 r. Istniejące materiały, zarówno informacje historyczne, jak i rzeczy pozostałe po ofiarach, stanowią dowody rzeczowe poświadczające do- konane tam zbrodnie i widoczną pamiątkę cierpienia ludzi zesłanych do obozu. Z kolei wiedza o byłym obozie zagłady w Treblince, jakże odmiennym od obo- zu w Oświęcimiu, jest znacznie mniej utrwalona w powszechnej świadomości. Obecny wygląd Treblinki w niewielkim stopniu nawiązuje do dawnej funkcji tego miejsca, teren obozu został bowiem zrównany z ziemią przez Niemców, po czym zaprojektowany pod kątem budowy współczesnego pomnika i otoczony sosnami, bardziej przypomina obszar parku krajobrazowego (fot. 1 i 2). Choć na terenie obozu znajdują się symboliczny pomnik oraz rampa kolejowa i mury, wytyczające granice, jego układ przestrzenny pozostaje niejasny, a na powierzchni ziemi nie widać żadnych pierwotnych zabudowań. Ponadto nieznane jest dotąd położenie 1 Rachela Auerbach, Na polach Treblinki, Warszawa: Centralna Żydowska Komisja Hi- storyczna, 1947. W przypisach podajemy odnośniki do nowego tłumaczenia, pt.
