LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Suzanne Statland lived most of her life in the Kansas City area. She graduated from Vassar College with a Bachelor’s degree in English literature and earned her Master’s degree in history from Harvard University-Radcliffe College and the University of Kansas. Statland volunteered at Kansas City’s Human Relations Department and was involved in several Kansas City area historical, social and educational groups, including the Friends of the UMKC Library, where she was a co-founder and past president; Historic Kansas City Foundation, Landmarks Commission, and the Kansas City Arts Commission. Statland was a practicing psychotherapist for fifteen years prior to her death from cancer in 1990. SCOPE AND CONTENT The Suzanne Statland Collection in Holocaust Studies was created in 1991 when Dr. Harry Statland established an endowment in honor of his late wife, a researcher and collector on the subject. Focusing on the rise and reign of Nazism and the ensuing Holocaust, the collection consists of published and manuscript material such as books, periodicals, pamphlets, diaries, correspondence, photographs, news clippings, reports, interviews and oral histories, and propaganda and miscellaneous items. Primary resources and other archival material are housed in the Dr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections; these items may be consulted on-site in the department's Reading Room. Related secondary resources located in the general stacks of the UMKC Miller Nichols Library, much of which can be checked out, include books, periodicals, government documents, microforms, and music and audiovisual material. Search the UMKC Library Catalog (MERLIN) using the subject heading: Holocaust, Jewish, 1939-1945. The Holocaust Research Guide is a bibliography of works compiled from selected material in the Statland Collection in Holocaust Studies and other related research collections in the University of Missouri-Kansas City Libraries. Online resources include the Truman Library's Student Research File, which contains several topics related to Nazism and the Holocaust: The Recognition of the State of Israel; The War Crimes Trials at Nuremberg; and the Plight of Displaced Persons in Europe following World War II. For further information on Suzanne Statland, consult the Suzanne Statland Papers, housed at the State Historical Society of Missouri Research Center - Kansas City. MS137-Suzanne Statland Collection in Holocaust Studies 2 University of Missouri-Kansas City Dr. Kenneth J. LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION SERIES NOTES SERIES I: BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Series I is located in folders 1-5 and contains material related to Statland’s work regarding the Holocaust. Included are proposal outlines for book and research projects as well as Bibliographic Data. There are also unpublished book and journal reviews. SERIES II: CORRESPONDENCE Series II is found in folder 6, and consists of correspondence between Statland and others dated 1973-1987. The correspondence includes handwritten notes, newspaper clippings and memos. SERIES III: INTERVIEWS Series III is contained in folders 7-19, and consists of handwritten and typed notes from interviews conducted by Statland with survivors including, memoirs, written accounts and oral histories. Statland not only conducted interviews for her Holocaust studies, but also in her community service efforts fighting for reparation for victims of the Holocaust. It is therefore difficult to delineate for which endeavor the interviews were conducted. SERIES IV: COMMUNITY SERVICE This series is located in folders 20-25. Included are materials related to her community service work and social welfare. Also found in this folder is a proposal for a foundation to raise the awareness of the Holocaust and the impact on the Jewish Community. SERIES V: HOLOCAUST STUDIES The Holocaust Studies series relates to the various aspects of Statland’s research. Anti-Semitism was a strong focus of Ms. Statland’s mission and this series contains a particularly interesting account of the play Peer Gynt performed at the Missouri Repertory Theater which Suzanne Statland and several of her friends attended. One act of the play contained an extremely anti- Semitic message which created an activist reaction from Statland. What followed was quite interesting and well documented. Also included in this series is Misc. ephemera and photographs. SERIES VI: NEWS CLIPPINGS Series IV is contained in folders 31-47, and consists of various news clippings divided into 12 subject headings. The title of each news article is individually listed for ready access. SERIES VII: JOURNAL/NEWS PUBLICATIONS Series VII is located in folders 48-59, and consists of journal and news publications. SERIES VII: SOUND RECORDINGS Series IX is contained in box 1, and consists of sound recordings of interviews and oral histories of Holocaust survivors and others. Included are the original recordings on eight audio cassettes, and digital transfers on nine CDs.

  • Second-Generation (Jewish) Artists
    Migration, Memory and the Visual Arts: Second-Generation (Jewish) Artists 7 May 2021, University of Leicester Online symposium Organisers: Dr Imogen Wiltshire and Dr Fransiska Louwagie Keynote: Dr Glenn Sujo (author and curator of Legacies of Silence: The Visual Arts and Holocaust Memory, Imperial War Museum) Young Blood and the Exterminatory Idea: A Continuum? Abstract As we draw on the survivors’ unassailable witness, can we as artists and scholars also look ahead to a concentrationary imaginary that enlarges the field of representation as a locus of possibility, resisting invisibility? And following from Adorno’s paradoxical proposition, can we still affirm that it is indeed ‘only in art that the enormity of such suffering finds a voice’? In this vein, I ask whether the universal message contained in the graphic cycles of Francisco Goya, Käthe Kollwitz or Otto Dix portend a visual imaginary of terror for the modern era that foreshadows the totalitarian and genocidal impulse to the destruction of a people. How do these images implicate (Rothberg) or make us complicitous (Sontag, Brink) in acts of violence, then and after? What obligations do they bestow on future acts of transmission, poetic misprision or an aesthetic of resistance? Two works, one a foreshadowing from the narrow corridor of exile and clandestinity in Max Beckmann’s Bird’s Hell (1938), the other, a fictional if also factual account of internment in KZ Auschwitz by Tadeusz Borowski (1946), sharpen our response to the subject’s radical and creative as well as destructive and nihilistic potential. Taking a cue from the symposium’s title, we might question whether the assumed model of generational succession — by choice, familial descent, identification with communal or ritual practices of remembrance or artistic affiliation — remains a viable frame for transmission in the enduring imaginary of human suffering, when subject to the erosions of time and memory as well as communal breakdown.

  • Modern Art and Politics in Prewar Germany
    Stephanie Barron, “Modern Art and Politics in Prewar Germany,” in Barron (ed.), Degenerate Art: The Fate of the Avant-Garde in Nazi Germany (Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1991): 9-23. In 1937 the National Socialists staged the most virulent attack ever mounted against modern art with the opening on July 19 in Munich of the Entartete Kunst (Degenerate art) exhibition, in which were brought together more than 650 important paintings, sculptures, prints, and books that had until a few weeks earlier been in the possession of thirty-two German public museum collections. The works were assembled for the purpose of clarifying for the German public by defamation and derision exactly what type of modern art was unacceptable to the Reich, and thus “un-German.” During the four months Entartete Kunst was on view in Munich it attracted more than two million visitors, over the next three years it traveled throughout Germany and Austria and was seen by nearly one million more On most days twenty thousand visitors passed through the exhibition, which was free of charge; records state that on one SundayAugust 2, 1937-thirty- six thousand people saw it.1 The popularity of Entartete Kunst has never been matched by any other exhibition of modern art. According to newspaper accounts, five times as many people visited Entartete Kunst as saw the Grosse Deutsche Kunstaussiellung (Great German art exhibition), an equally large presentation of Nazi-approved art that had opened on the preceding day to inaugurate Munich's Haus der Deutschen Kunst (House of German art), the first official building erected by the National Socialists.

  • PDF Findbuch Galerie Des 20. Jahrhunderts
    Aktenüberlieferung der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts im Zentralarchiv der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin II/B Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts – Land Berlin Bestandsgeschichte: Der Aktenbestand der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts ist auf drei Standorte verteilt: - Landesarchiv Berlin, in dessen Zuständigkeitsbereich die Akten der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts fallen, - Berlinische Galerie und - Zentralarchiv der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin. Die Schriftgutüberlieferung im Zentralarchiv kann folglich als Teilbestand und somit als Ergänzung zu den anderen beiden Überlieferungen angesehen werden. Im Mai 1996 übernahm das Zentralarchiv Akten aus der Neuen Nationalgalerie. Darunter befanden sich auch Akteneinheiten des damaligen Leiters der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts Adolf Jannasch. Die Akten wurden zunächst in den Bestand des Verwaltungsarchivs eingearbeitet, welches dem Zentralarchiv als Zwischenarchiv dient. Im Dezember 2009 wurden die Akten überarbeitet und in einen eigens dafür vorgesehenen Bestand innerhalb der Tektonik des Zentralarchivs überführt. Die Akten sind unter „II/Geschäftsakten der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin ab 1945, der Museen SMPK ab 1957“ abgelegt. Die Überlieferung des Schriftgutes im Zentralarchiv umfasst 15 Akten, die in der Zeit von 1951 – 1974 entstanden sind. Der überwiegende Teil besteht aus Schriftwechselakten. Die inhaltlichen Schwerpunkte liegen zum einen auf Angeboten von Kunstwerken von Galerien, Kunsthändlern und Privatpersonen und zum anderen ist der Schriftverkehr mit Institutionen und Vereinen überliefert, der die Zusammenarbeit im kulturellen Bereich darlegt. Durch die Korrespondenz zwischen der Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts und den Senatseinrichtungen des Landes Berlins wird die Verwaltungsarbeit des Museums ersichtlich. Neben den Korrespondenzakten sind drei Akten überliefert, in denen vorwiegend Rechnungsbelege vorzufinden sind. Des Weiteren ist eine Akte überliefert, in der die Protokolle der Ankaufskommission zusammengefasst wurden.

  • STUDENT HANDOUT Antisemitism Over Time
    ANTISEMITISM OVER TIME THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION BOOK COVERS (1911-2006) The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion was first published in 1905. It was said to be the secret minutes of a Jewish council plotting world domination. In reality it was a hoax carried out by the Russian secret police. Over the past century, this forgery has been translated into dozens of languages and spread throughout the world in order to keep alive antisemitic ideas. For instance, Henry Ford (the founder of Ford Motor Company) distributed 500,000 copies throughout the U.S. in the 1920s. In Nazi Germany, teachers were instructed to assign the book to school children. View the Protocols book covers, which span almost a century and a dozen countries. • What stereotypes and beliefs about Jewish people are conveyed through these images? • How have these ideas changed or stayed the same over time? • What conclusion do you come to about how strong the roots of this stereotype are?

  • 'The Ohel Centre' in Josef Herman
    The Ohel Centre Rachel Dickson ‘Soon after the first refugees from the Continent arrived in London, two philanthropists, the brothers Alexander and Benjamin Margulies, organised a club for Jewish intellectuals in Gower Street, which they named ‘Ohel’. A small number of us used to gather there every Friday afternoon to hold discussions and give lectures. Of the more permanent ‘members’ I recall the two folklorists, Dr J Maitlis and Dr. Olshwanger, the essayist Leo Koening [sic], the short-story writer Leo Fuchs, the writer Joseph Leftwich, and the artists Jankel Adler, Marek Schwartz [Szwarc], Bloch, Meidner, Bomberg, and myself. There was also in our midst the Yiddish poet Itzik Manger – a man of obvious genius.’1 ‘Thousands of Polish Jewish refugees and members of the armed Forces were living a lonely life and were often in need of moral and material sustenance. For these 'Ohel' should become a real home.’2 From 1933 onwards, as more than 10,000 refugee artists, writers and those involved in the creative arts (both Jewish and non-Jewish) fled to Britain from across Europe as a result of Nazi persecution, a significant number of émigré cultural organisations were quickly established within the new homeland. Many were based in north London, particularly around Hampstead, a neighbourhood that welcomed many new émigrés, Jewish and Gentile, to its artistic and intellectual milieu.3 Despite the need for assimilation and integration, a strong impulse remained towards retaining a sense of cultural identity (and, as Monica Bohm Duchen’s essay indicates, in Josef Herman this impulse was especially profound).

  • The Convent Children the Rescue of Jewish Children in Polish Convents
    The Convent Children The Rescue of Jewish Children in Polish Convents During the Holocaust1 Nahum Bogner The rescue of Jewish children in convents during the Holocaust is a subject that evokes intense emotions and sensitivities among both Jews and Christians, as it is intertwined with the controversial issue of the attitude of the Church toward the Jews at that time. The Jewish collective consciousness associates the affair with the conversion of many of these children to Christianity—as if their rescuers effected their deliverance in order to stalk innocent souls and exploit their existential distress for missionary motives. Christians, in contrast, consider the very hint of such a suspicion as an expression of ingratitude on the part of people who do not respect the death-defying devotion and Christian conscience of those priests and nuns who risked their lives in order to save Jews. It is a complex issue that penetrates to the depths of the soul. This article examines the case of the children who survived the Holocaust in the convents of Poland. Poland is, of course, one of the largest Catholic countries in Europe and one in which the Church had a special stature and exerted strong influence over its believers. 1 This article is part of a book in progress on the rescue of children with assumed identities in Poland. Convents in Occupied Poland Catholic Poland, flanked by the mostly Orthodox Russia to the east and predominantly Lutheran Germany to the west, was peppered until World War II with sundry types of convents and monasteries. These were mostly tenanted by women, and even the Church establishment was not always well acquainted with all of them.

After graduating from the School in 1937 they both applied for the Annual Travelling Scholarship – its most prestigious award. Although not recognising the true nature of their bonding there was such concern when Colquhoun was ultimately awarded the prize that an equal sum was donated to MacBryde enabling them to tour France, Italy, Belgium and Holland together in 1938 and ’39. Two early works from their European trip are included in this exhibition, one, an oil painting of Venice by MacBryde (cat 26) and the other, a rare Colquhoun that does not feature a human figure as its main subject, a drawing of buildings in Foro Romano (cat 3). In 1941, having moved to London, they were loaned a thatched cottage in rural Worcestershire where they produced several oil paintings of landscapes influenced by the Neo-Romantic work of older painters such as Graham Sutherland and John Piper.
