Sie bildet den Abschluss meiner Ausbildung zur Oberstufenlehrperson an der Pädagogi- schen Hochschule in St. Gallen. Als ich ein Thema für meine Masterarbeit suchte, war für mich klar, dass ich ein Thema aus dem Fachbereich Geschichte, bzw. ein Thema aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg untersuchen möchte. Von Mai bis September 2015 fand in unserem Hochschulgebäude Hadwig in St. Gallen eine Ausstellung über die Theresienstadt-Flüchtlinge statt. Die Ausstellung über die Flüchtlinge weckte mein Interesse. Der Vorschlag meiner Betreuungsperson, als Thema die Erinnerung der St. Galler Bevölkerung an die Flüchtlinge im Hadwig zu nehmen, sprach mich sofort an. Diese Arbeit richtet sich an ein Publikum, welches ein grundlegendes Wissen über den Ver- lauf des Zweiten Weltkrieges und den damit verbundenen Nationalsozialismus besitzt.

  • Additional Research Notes
    Additional Research Notes Below is more information related to Joe’s story, including concen tration camps, ship transporting dislocated persons, camp for dislocated persons, camp commandants/other Nazi officials and their fate, and famous shoe companies. 1. Concentration Camps A. Auschwitz/Birkenau, Poland (Concentration Camp) Author’s Note : Joe arrived at Auschwitz on April 30, 1942 and was housed at its sister camp, Birkenau, or “Auschwitz II,” where two days a week he was forced to move the bodies of the dead from the gas chamber to open pits. He was also required to do daily calisthenics and work in many other areas around the camp, including snow removal on the massive grounds. Joe was eventually assigned to a slave labor crew working in a nearby coal mine. For a short while, the inmate miners were forced to walk several miles each day to the coal mine and back. When Joe was finally moved from Birkenau to a camp near the coal mine, he le Auschwitz for the last time, but the mining camp remained under the authority of Auschwitz. Joe permanently lost the hearing in one ear from the repeated explosions of dynamite. Documents provided by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., show that in June 1944, Joe (Juzek Rubinsztein) was sent from the Auschwitz complex (we believe from the Jawischowitz Sub-camp/Brzeszcze Coal Mine) to Buchenwald, Germany. His official number while at Auschwitz was 34207. At Buchenwald, his number was 117.666. 1, 2 e Auschwitz Concentration Camp, located thirty-seven miles west of Krakow, near the Polish city of Oswiecim, was in an area annexed by Nazi Germany in 1939 aer its invasion of Poland.

  • Whole Dissertation Hajkova 3
    Abstract This dissertation explores the prisoner society in Terezín (Theresienstadt) ghetto, a transit ghetto in the Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia. Nazis deported here over 140, 000 Czech, German, Austrian, Dutch, Danish, Slovak, and Hungarian Jews. It was the only ghetto to last until the end of Second World War. A microhistorical approach reveals the dynamics of the inmate community, shedding light on broader issues of ethnicity, stratification, gender, and the political dimension of the “little people” shortly before they were killed. Rather than relegating Terezín to a footnote in narratives of the Holocaust or the Second World War, my work connects it to Central European, gender, and modern Jewish histories. A history of victims but also a study of an enforced Central European society in extremis, instead of defining them by the view of the perpetrators, this dissertation studies Terezín as an autarkic society. This approach is possible because the SS largely kept out of the ghetto. Terezín represents the largest sustained transnational encounter in the history of Central Europe, albeit an enforced one. Although the Nazis deported all the inmates on the basis of their alleged Jewishness, Terezín did not produce a common sense of Jewishness: the inmates were shaped by the countries they had considered home. Ethnicity defined culturally was a particularly salient means of differentiation. The dynamics connected to ethnic categorization and class formation allow a deeper understanding of cultural and national processes in Central and Western Europe in the twentieth century. The society in Terezín was simultaneously interconnected and stratified. There were no stark contradictions between the wealthy and majority of extremely poor prisoners.

  • Terezin (Theresienstadt)
    ARC Main Page Aktion Reinhard Terezin Transports Ghettos Terezin (Theresienstadt) Last Update 23 September 2006 The "Ghetto Theresienstadt" was established in NW Czechoslavakia. Terezin (Theresienstadt) was founded as a garrison town in the late 18th Century, during the reign of Emperor Joseph II and named after his mother, Empress Maria Theresa. In WW2 the town served as a ghetto to which the Nazis expelled 140,000 Jews, mostly from the "Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia", but also from central and western Europe. The ghetto was controlled by the Zentralamt für die Regelung der Judenfrage in Böhmen und Mähren, which was under the jurisdiction of the RSHA. The commandants were: Siegfried Seidl, November 1941 - July 1943; Anton Burger, July 1943 - February 1944, and Karl Rahm, February 1944 - May 1945. Terezin All of the above were selected from Adolf Eichmann's staff, and as well as SS men; Czech gendarmes served as ghetto guards. The small fortress near the ghetto was used as an internment camp for political prisoners. Terezin was first mentioned in a Nazi document on 10 October 1941. The plan was to concentrate there most of the Jews from the "Protectorate", Germany and other western European countries, particularly prominent persons, old people, or those who had served in the German Army during WW 1. The Jews should be transferred from Terezin gradually to the death camps of Aktion Reinhard and Auschwitz. Gate #1 * Gate #2 Terezin also served to camouflage the extermination of the Jews from world opinion, by presenting it as a model Jewish settlement. The first group of Jews from Praha arrived at the end of November 1941.

  • Requiem Insert 6 REV 090710.Indd
    TO MAINTAIN THE ILLUSION of their being in a “model ghetto,” Jews in Theresienstadt wore civilian clothes (with Star of David badges). Also, unlike in regular concentration camps, the incarcerated residents lived under a Jewish administra- tion similar to those imposed in ghettos in eastern Europe. Though subordinate to the Germans for implementing orders and making selections for deportations, the Jewish Council in Theresienstadt coordinated housing, electricity, water, police, judicial, and postal services. It also organized labor detachments, including workshops for carpentry, leather goods, and tailoring. The council assigned women to work in the kitchen, clean barracks, or serve as nurses. Other prisoners worked on construction projects or in the nearby Kladno mines, under direct SS and police supervision. Perhaps most famously, the Jewish Council organized educa- tional activities, cultural events, and religious celebrations.

  • Liberation of Theresienstadt – Dr. Margalit Shlain “On the Evening Of
    Liberation of Theresienstadt – Dr. Margalit Shlain “On the evening of May 7, 1945”, writes Jacob Jacobson, “the official announcement was received that the capitulation was signed and that the war is over”. But in Theresienstadt the war was not yet over. On May 8, Theresienstadt became a war zone of the retreating German army. The rumble of cannon was heard throughout the day and the night. According to the testimony of Menashe (Munish) Mautner, Dr. Benjamin Murmelstein warned of rash acts, “since the Nazi army was moving by day and night along the camp. Twice they threw hand grenades into the camp … I myself was concussed by a hand grenade that landed in front of my window”. In the evening a Russian shell hit one of the houses and a few people were wounded. At nightfall the shooting increased and suddenly voices were heard: “Hurrah”, “a red flag”, “the Russians are here”, as the first Russian tank entered the camp and was welcomed with shouts of happiness. “The iron gates were opened … the Russian soldiers entered victoriously and distributed chocolate, tea, cigarettes and more … the German street signs were removed fast by the Czechs, music was played continuously on the central square and people danced. The Russian’s horses grazed on the lawn and the place could not be recognized”, Kaethe Breslauer related. Timeline of the liberation: February 5, 1945 – A transport of 1,200 Jews left on a train to Switzerland. April 15, 1945 - 425 Danish Jews were taken by busses of the Swedish Red Cross April 16, 1945 – a special delegation sent by Kurt Becher, the new commissar of all concentration camps appointed by Himmler, arrived in Theresienstadt to guarantee the safety of the ghetto’s Jews.

  • 7. Nationalsozialistische Herrschaft in Der Tschechoslowakei 1939-1945
    7. NATIONALSOZIALISTISCHE HERRSCHAFT IN DER TSCHECHOSLOWAKEI 1939-1945 Der wechselvollen böhmischen Geschichte ist nicht allein mit Anmut und Friedfertigkeit beizukommen, grünen Hügeln, Dorfkirchen und blauen Wolken, vor allem nicht, wenn die Okkupationszeit, das Protektorat, und die Ereignisse von 1945 bis 1948, Vertreibung und Enteignung, auch die nach dem kommunistischen Putsch, zur Frage stehen. Der Patriotismus der einen wie der anderen baut seine Barrikaden und Mauern, die den Blick verstellen, und die amtlich schematischen Schwarzweißperspektiven von Schuld und Unschuld suchen sich anstelle von Tragik, Lächerlichkeit, Lüge und unerwarteter Humanität festzusetzen. Peter Demetz, Das Dorf und die Deutsche (2010) Die Tschechen im „Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren“ 777 Verfolgung, Entrechtung, Enteignung und Vertreibung der Deutschen in und aus der Tschechoslowakei waren einerseits Konsequenzen aus der nationalso- zialistischen Gewaltpolitik gegenüber Tschechen und Slowaken, andererseits Teil der alliierten Politik gegenüber Hitler-Deutschland und „den Deutschen“, die unter den Leitmotiven Kollektivschuld, Rache, Vergeltung, Kollektivstrafe und Zwangsaussiedlung stand. Darüber hinaus entwickelten die tschechischen, slowakischen und tschechoslowakischen Widerstandsorganisationen ebenso wie die tschechoslowakischen Exilorganisationen – vornehmlich in London und Moskau – eigene Strategien für die Bestrafung der Deutschen nach dem Welt- krieg, hinter denen durchaus auch alte nationale Feindbilder und Neidkomplexe sichtbar wurden, die jedenfalls bis 1918, in Ansätzen sogar bis 1848 zurück- reichten.1531 Ein Photo vom Einmarsch der Wehrmacht in Prag, das Geschichte gemacht und sich tief ins kollektive Gedächtnis der Tschechen eingegraben hat, ist das Photo von Karel Hájek. Es zeigt zwei in ihrem offenen Militärauto sitzende deutsche Soldaten vor der am Straßenrand stehenden tschechischen Bevölke- rung, die in ohnmächtiger Wut und tiefer Verzweiflung von tschechischen Ord- nungskräften zurückgehalten wird.

    https://collections.ushmm.org Contact [email protected] for further information about this collection RG-50.862: EHRLICH COLLECTION - SUMMARY TRANSCRIPTION OF AUDIO FILES Introduction by Anatol Steck, Project Director in the International Archival Programs Division of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: These are English summary transcription notes of the digitized interviews recorded by Leonard and Edith Ehrlich in the 1970s as part of their research for their manuscript about the Jewish community leadership in Vienna and Theresienstadt during the Holocaust titled "Choices under Duress.” These notes are intended as a finding aid for the researcher; researchers are strongly encouraged to consult the digitized recordings for accuracy and authenticity and not to rely solely on the notes. As much as possible, persons mentioned by name in the interviews are identified and described in the text; however, as persons are often referred to in the interviews only by last name, their identification is sometimes based on the context in which their names appear within the interview (especially in cases where different persons share the same last name). In case of the interview with Benjamin Murmelstein, unless specifically stated at the beginning of the tape by Leonard Ehrlich, it is not always clear whether a particular interview segment continues in the correct order or, as the interview was recorded over several days, a particular interview segment continues where the interview was concluded on the previous day. It is possible that the individual interview segments are not in their correct order. Leonard Ehrlich and Edith Ehrlich are identified in the summary notes as LE and EE.
