Notes to Chapter 1
Notes Notes to Chapter 1 1. The art of memory valued by the Ancient Greeks and developed in medieval times is still present in modern day books claiming to teach people how to improve their memories. Hence, Tony Buzan in Use Your Memory (1999) argues that by using a series of images and systems people can artificially enhance their memories. He combines this idea with contemporary ideas in brain science and New Age ideas on how thought and imagination can result in material changes. The Roman Room System, as he names it: is particularly amenable to the application of the left and right cortical skills, and to the Memory Principles … if you begin to imagine yourself, in possession of certain items that exist in your imaginary room, both your memory and creative intelligence will begin to work paraconsciously on ways in which you can actually acquire such objects, increasing the probability that you will eventually do so.’ (Buzan, 1999:66). 2. Part of this erasure of Jewish memory began in 1936 with a law in Germany banning stonemasons from carving Jewish gravestones (Young, 1988:189). 3. In the material relating to the trial of the commander of Helmbrechts, Alois Dorr, a number of former prisoners describe how one Jewish women was forced to stand in the snow with her hair shorn, because she had in her possession a photograph. (See S. K. Dorr, Vol. 4, p. 607, cited in Goldhagen (1997), note 54, p. 584). 4. For example, survivor Gena Turgel (1995) describes in I light a Candle how the Nazis forced people to participate in the erasure of their crimes. -
Holocaust Memorial Day 27 January 2021 Resource for Schools
th 27 January 2021 Holocaust Memorial Day Be the light in the darkness We will continue to do our bit for as long as we can, secure in the knowledge that others will continue to light a candle long after us. - Gena Turgel MBE, survivor of the Holocaust (1923-2018) This resource was compiled by Mirela Temo (EMA/NQT Adviser, MA History/Geography) Email: [email protected] 2 th 27 January – Holocaust Memorial Day Why a Holocaust Memorial Day 27 January is the Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). In this international day we remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. HMD offers a chance to reflect on our past, and a call to work for a better future. Our world often feels fragile and vulnerable and we cannot be complacent. Prejudice, identity based hostility, and the language of hatred must be challenged by us all. Holocaust Memorial Day 2021 The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2021 is Be the light in the darkness. It encour- ages everyone to reflect on the depths humanity can sink to, but also the ways individuals and communities resisted that darkness to ‘be the light’ before, during and after genocide. Be the light in the darkness is an affirmation and a call to action for everyone marking HMD. This theme asks us to consider different kinds of ‘darkness’, for example, identity-based per- secution, misinformation, denial of justice; and different ways of ‘being the light’, for exam- ple, resistance, acts of solidarity, rescue and illuminating mistruths. -

Pogroms and Other Atrocities by Bassam Imam
POGROMS AND OTHER ATROCITIES BY BASSAM IMAM CHAPTER ONE Babi Yar is a small ravine on the outskirts of Kiev, the Uk- rainian capital. It is also the site of massacres conducted by German forces during their violent military operations against the Soviet Union. The first and best chronicled massacre occur- red on 29–30 September 1941, killing nearly 34,000 Jews. The com- mitment to slaughter all the Jews in Kyiv was made by the mili- tary governor General-Major Kurt Eberhard, police commander for Army Group South. The operation was carried out by the Wermacht, the SS (Schutzstaffel - a very powerful Nazi paramilitary organi- zation headed by Heinrich Himmler), Ukrainian auxiliary police; the Einsatzgruppen, headed by Reinhard Heydrich, were mobile killing units whose purpose was to kill political enemies, Polish government officials, gypsies, Jews, and any other undesirables. The Einsatzgruppen (Einsatz) consisted of 4 Groups (A,B,C,D); group C was involved in the Babi Yar massacre. The Einsatz per- formed -their killing duties without mercy or curtailment. The German Army did not wait long to begin their mass slaughter. Only 10 days after taking Kiev, roughly 30 thousand Jews, consisting of small groups, were taken to the Babi Yar ra- vine. The men, women, and children were forced to toss all of their belongings. The first group was gunned down without mercy. 1 3 AUDIOBOOK COLLECTIONS 6 BOOK COLLECTIONS The second group was forced to lie down on the first, many were shot in the neck by a marksman, repeating the process until there was no one else to shoot.
