Auschwitz Foundation Was Created in 1980 by the Association of Belgian Ex-Political Prisoners of Auschwitz- Birkenau, Camps and Prisons of Silesia History Remembrance Survivors Genocide Archives Education Conferences Exhibitions Gestapo Third Reich Backround and purpose The Auschwitz Foundation was created in 1980 by the Association of Belgian Ex-Political Prisoners of Auschwitz- Birkenau, Camps and Prisons of Silesia. Its primary objective is to study the history and the remembrance of Nazi crimes and genocide, their awareness, the transmission of their me- mory, and the preservation of archives related to these events. To carry out its projects, the Foundation has established a non-profit Center for Studies and Documentation called the Remembrance of Auschwitz. The two institutions work together on the one hand, to promote scientific research and multidisciplinary publications for a broader understan- ding of historical processes that led to the Third Reich, Nazi crimes and genocide of the Jews and, on the other hand, to develop educational projects in intended for didactic com- munities, in particular, and society in general. The works and projects they carry out are definitely multi- disciplinary and expand to all political crimes and crimes committed in the distant past or in contemporary history. Scientific activities Conferences and workshops Organization of international conferences and workshops to promote scientific research and the dissemination of their results: “Primo Levi. The man, the witness, the wri- ter” (2012); “Remembrance voyages. Outcome, news, perspectives & critics” (2012); “The Gestapo headquar- ters in Brussels – recognition and conservation” (2011); “Art and Propaganda” (2011); “The ‘grey zone’: historical and sociological approach” (2009); “The reception of the work of Primo Levi” (2006); “Psychoanalysis and geno- cides” (2001); “The Future of remembrance” (1999); “The remembrance of Auschwitz in contemporary Art” (1997); “International meetings on the audiovisual testimony of survivors of Nazis concentration and extermination camps” (1994-1996-1998)… Lecture series Scholars of international stature present an inventory of knowledge on specific topics related to the testimony or remembrance: “The project KZ-memoria scripta at the University of Salzburg: archives - approaches - methods based on Mauthausen”; “Primo Levi: The passage of a wit- ness”… The Auschwitz Foundation Prize Since 1986, two prizes (€ 6,250 and € 3,125) are awarded annually in recognition of original and unpublished re- search about the historical processes, social, political, economic, cultural and ideological that led to mass crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide of the Jews. The various juries deliberating on the competing works are composed of university professors and researchers speciali- zing in the topics addressed. Publications Testify. Between History and Remembrance Review focused on the dissemination of news of multi- disciplinary research of Nazi crimes and genocide of the Jews, and issues related to extreme violence and their re- presentation, the magazine is at the heart of most debates on current issues concerning remembrance and history. It lies at the crossroads of many disciplines, from history to literature and the arts, from sociology and psychology to political science (Éditions Kimé – Paris). Collection Between History and Remembrance It includes works that are specific to literary studies or art as well as humanities and social sciences. The collection is not only trans- and interdisciplinary, but transgeneric. Indeed, the amount of creativity on these topics takes shape in a va- riety of genres. Thus, Between History and Remembrance welcomes testimonials, documentaries, analyzes of films, exhibition catalogs or books for educational purposes, etc. The collection confirms its plurality through a policy sustai- ned by translation (Éditions Kimé – Paris). Exhibitions Primo Levi FR NL DE With a unique documentary iconography, this exhibition designed for the entire public, exposes them to both the biographical journey and the art work of Primo Levi. Victims of the image. Manufacturing, FR NL Recovering & Criticizing of snapshots Victims of war, natural disasters, epidemics… This exhi- bition presents an analysis of power and the meaning of contemporary representations available to us through mass media. Belgium 1914-1945. Journeys of FR NL witnesses at the heart of the storm Covering the period between the First World War to the liberation of the camps and the return of those deported between 1944 and 1946, the exhibition concludes with an evocation on the remembrance of the composition of camps and the genocide of the Jews by opening an inquiry into the problem of transmission. Jean Amery FR NL DE Austrian writer (1912-1978), immigrated to Belgium in 1938. Although resistant, he was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo in 1943. Having experienced Breendonk and Auschwitz, his work, both dark and brilliant, is the founda- tion for a journey that takes him to opt for suicide. A catalog is available for each exhibition. Educational activities Education Committee Composed of teachers from different disciplines, it was created to promote initiatives and implement projects in schools. Traces of remembrance As the main body of information for the Education Committee, Traces of Remembrance aims to further the objectives and edu- cate all school faculties about the issues of Nazi crimes and genocide. Educational records Two lesson plans are available to high school teachers: “Auschwitz et le Troisième Reich” and “Félicie Aron-Lewin. Résistante belge – Déportée juive”. A third lesson plan, “Tu seras encore là ?/Zal jij er nog zijn?” is aimed at teachers. Training seminars For teachers and students, facilitated by specialists from different academic disciplines, the seminars are designed around a body of textual and iconography previously dis- closed to registrants. Among the topics: “The historic cin- ema, between fiction and documentary”; “1914-1945: from a war to another. The Great War, a matrix of genocidal practices of the twentieth century”; “Literature as support for memory: testimony and fiction as a teaching aid”. Travel A study trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau for all audiences is held annually during the Easter holidays. Lasting five days, it is supervised by camp survivors and officials of the associa- tion. Conferences Camp survivors are available to schools wishing that testi- monials be presented in class. Panel discussions can also be arranged at the request of schools or any interested as- sociation. Essay Contest It is designed for students of the two final years of up- per secondary education. A prize per province and for the Brussels-Capital Region is awarded jointly with the Provincial Colleges. The award consists of a diploma, a fi- nancial prize and an invitation to partake, free of charge, in the annual study trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Partnership The association works with other research centers with similar objectives: CEGES-SOMA (Centre for Historical Research and Documentation on War and Contemporary Society), National Memorial of Fort Breendonk, Kazerne Dossin (Mechelen), IV-INIG/IV-NIOOO (Institute for Veterans - National Institute of Disabled Veterans), CCLJ (Centre culturel laïc juif), The Memorial of the Shoah (Paris), ULB (Université Libre de Bruxelles), UBP (Université Blaise Pascal Clermont-Ferrand)… Among the projects developed in partnership: the “Train of 1000 to Auschwitz-Birkenau”, the “Day of Democracy and Tolerance”. R emembrance Journey C h a u s s é e The presence of a larged e Jewish community living around Neighborhood M “Marolles-Midi” the Midi Train Station, from 1920o to World War II, now n s seems largely forgotten. This work of remembrance aims at bringing to mind that history of the neighborhood, through the use of key places and testimonials, in a way to bring back to life the survivor, through artist installa- tions and the solid development of video archives by the Auschwitz Foundation, such as the documentary of Marta Marín-Dòmine “From 1930 to 1942. Jewish remembrance of the neighborhood Marolles-Midi“. Three buildingsThe Gestapo on Avenue headquarters Louise, located in at Brussels453, 347 and 510, were requisitioned during the Second World War by the Gestapo. Numerous testimonies of what took place B o there whether interrogation or torture. The cellars of the u l first two listed buildings preserve traces – messages en- e v graved on the walls – from the journey of the peopleB who a o u r were imprisoned. Our goal is, with the help of the own-l d e ers, to inventory them for the sake of keeping the memories v d a u r alive in order to protect and enable their research. d M r J n i e r i o n u a L e m d e m M a u r i c e a r d i v a B o u l e r d e l ’ A A v e n u e d e S t a l i n g r a d r g A v e n u e o F o n s n y n B n r o u A e r . u e D v l e e e n l C ’ o E n v ç n n o i u g a o l P e e e r u r u e d e M é r o d e n d n t d . e d u r r r . u d a Q e u u R r u e t r o e r s M e u i d l l i e e e d s T i a r u e n n r T É e s m i l e F e u r u r o n e h S é a o i n d t - o G h r i s e l u e B l a e s a r r u e B l a e s i n V e r h a e g H a u t e e r u e n B A d v . d H e o .

    JEAN AMÉRY AND WOLFGANG HILDESHEIMER: RESSENTIMENTS, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE WEST GERMAN PUBLIC SPHERE IN THE 1960S AND 1970S A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Melanie Steiner Sherwood January 2011 © 2011 Melanie Steiner Sherwood JEAN AMÉRY AND WOLFGANG HILDESHEIMER: RESSENTIMENTS, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE WEST GERMAN PUBLIC SPHERE IN THE 1960S AND 1970S Melanie Steiner Sherwood, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 The dissertation revisits the West German literary scene of the 1960s and 1970s to investigate how two of its Jewish participants, Jean Améry and Wolfgang Hildesheimer, sought to promote ethical responses to the Holocaust. The study incorporates literary analysis and socio-political reflections on the ethics of public life. First, it is an analysis of the relationship between judicial confrontation of the German criminal past, the silence in the wider German cultural sphere in the wake of this confrontation, and the two writers’ efforts to expose and address this ethical disconnect (chapter I). Second, it draws attention to two very different modes of reactive affect, ressentiment and melancholia. Through readings of Hildesheimer’s novels Tynset (1965) and Masante (1973) in chapters II and III, on the one hand, and Améry’s essay “Ressentiments” (1966) and the essay-novel Lefeu oder Der Abbruch (1974) in chapters IV and V, on the other, the dissertation analyzes these two modes. Hildesheimer employed a register of ethical writing that articulated the interconnected processes of mourning and melancholia, but unlike recent scholarship that focuses on these categories and valorizes melancholia as source of productive socio-political action, Hildesheimer did not prescribe them as exemplary modes of affective reparation.

  • Key Findings Many European Union Governments Are Rehabilitating World War II Collaborators and War Criminals While Minimisin
    This first-ever report rating individual European Union countries on how they face up their Holocaust pasts was published on January 25, 2019 to coincide with UN Holocaust Remembrance Day. Researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges travelled throughout Europe to conduct the research. Representatives from the European Union of Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) have endorsed their work. Key Findings ● Many European Union governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. ● Revisionism is worst in new Central European members - Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Lithuania. ● But not all Central Europeans are moving in the wrong direction: two exemplary countries living up to their tragic histories are the Czech Republic and Romania. The Romanian model of appointing an independent commission to study the Holocaust should be duplicated. ● West European countries are not free from infection - Italy, in particular, needs to improve. ● In the west, Austria has made a remarkable turn-around while France stands out for its progress in accepting responsibility for the Vichy collaborationist government. ● Instead of protesting revisionist excesses, Israel supports many of the nationalist and revisionist governments. By William Echikson As the world marks the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, European governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. This Holocaust Remembrance Project finds that Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Baltics are the worst offenders. Driven by feelings of victimhood and fears of accepting refugees, and often run by nationalist autocratic governments, these countries have received red cards for revisionism.
