Borecka Scope and Content This collection of “Memoirs” from the Archives of the Auschwitz Museum contains more than 1000 memoirs and testimonies of several hundreds of the former prisoners of KL Auschwitz‐ Birkenau, collected in 251 volumes. Some of the prisoners give testimonies several times, so the texts some of the people might be located in several volumes. Information gathered in this collection concerned all possible aspects of life in the camp, including slave labor and extermination. Almost all memoirs were written after the liberation of the camp in January 1945. Since the opening of the Museum on January 2, 1947, the Museum’s staff has encouraged former prisoners to write memoirs and send manuscripts to the archives. Not all of the memoirs were actually put into written form by the survivor’s themselves, but rather the survivors sometimes gave testimony before archival staff who recorded their testimony in writing. This collection is one of the most precious archival sources concerning the history of KL Auschwitz‐Birkenau. The collection is open, which means that memoirs and testimonies are still being collected. System of Arrangement The system of arrangement of the source repository has been preserved in the microfilmed reels. The memoirs are organized by author names and memoir title in 251 volumes.

    Thesis Title The Lagermuseum Creative Manuscript and ‘Encountering Auschwitz: Touring the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum’ Critical Thesis Author Dr Claire Griffiths, BA (Hons), MA, PhD Qualification Creative and Critical Writing PhD Institution University of East Anglia, Norwich School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing Date January 2015 Word Count 91,102 (excluding appendices) This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract The Lagermuseum My creative manuscript – an extract of a longer novel – seeks to illuminate a little- known aspect of the history of the Auschwitz concentration and death camp complex, namely the trade and display of prisoner artworks. However, it is also concerned with exposing the governing paradigms inherent to contemporary encounters with the Holocaust, calling attention to the curatorial processes present in all interrogations of this most contentious historical subject. Questions relating to ownership, display and representational hierarchies permeate the text, characterised by a shape-shifting curator figure and artworks which refuse to adhere to the canon he creates for them. The Lagermuseum is thus in constant dialogue with my critical thesis, examining the fictional devices which often remain unacknowledged within established

    CATÁLOGO BIBLIOTECA DE LA DEPORTACIÓN Biblioteca Centro de Documentación Ministerio de Defensa INTRODUCCIÓN A principios del año 2017 la Asociación Biblioteca de la Deportación, una organización sevillana dedica al fomento de la memoria del pasado, donaba a la Biblioteca Centro de Documentación de Defensa su impresionante fondo bibliográfico, películas, documentales y láminas. Un total de 47 cajas con más de 1.500 obras, que con tanto esfuerzo habían conseguido transformar en un fondo único para el interesado en los estudios sobre totalitarismos, persecuciones políticas o de cualquier otro tipo, antisemitismo, Holocausto, deportación, exilio, víctimas y verdugos. Nuestro agradecimiento a la Asociación por pensar en nosotros como depositarios de este fondo, al mismo tiempo satisfacción al saber que las obras no se perderán ni desperdigarán, será un fondo siempre vivo y con entidad propia. Creemos que es nuestra responsabilidad recoger, conservar y difundir esta Biblioteca, que tiene un interés indudable desde muchos puntos de vista: político, sociológico, antropológico, filosófico, también literario. Nuestro cometido es conservar y poner al servicio de nuestro usuario y del interesado estas obras para su consulta. ¿Qué podemos encontrar en este fondo? En primer lugar la mitad del mismo son libros en castellano, otra mitad se reparte en libros en otros idiomas, sobre todo francés, pero también inglés, alemán, italiano, catalán o gallego. Hay también películas y documentales, centrados en el Holocausto y exilio republicano español. Encontramos pinturas originales, como un acrílico collage de Michel Gired, números sueltos de revistas especializadas, folletos de lugares de la memoria, por ejemplo del Museo Memorial de Auschwitz, catálogos y carteles de exposiciones nacionales e internacionales.

  • Phdt Colosseum
    Life in the Satellite Camp „Colosseum“ – Six Stories of Survival “At the meeting of former prisoners of the Nazi concentration camp Flossenbürg I was moved deeply by the great cordiality and frankness extended towards us, the descendants of the Nazi perpetrators, by the victims; it was my very first meeting with survivors and I had been afraid of having to look into hardened faces, full of distrust and scarred for life. Six years have passed since then, and instead of meeting with rejection, I have formed a number of friendships – which have deepened over the years through regular correspondence. When the study group at the EBW (Evangelisches Bildungwerk; Protestant Educational Society) was founded, I did not need to be persuaded to join. The talks between economic and political representatives about the starting of a foundation for the compensation of former forced labourers were stagnating, while at the same time my experiences with the survivors motivated me to speak out for those who had been subjected to forced labour in Regensburg and did not have a lobby.” The historian Sylvia Seifert M.A. is a member of the board of the “ArGe ehemaliges KZ Flossenbürg e.V.” (study group former concentration camp Flossenbürg”) and currently works at a publishing house. Six Stories of Survival In July of 1997, Zbigniew Kolakowski, a native of Poland, unexpectedly knocked on the doors of the editorial office of the Regensburg weekly “Woche”, stating that he was one more survivor of the Colosseum. i When we, the members of the ArGe ehemaliges KZ Flossenbürg e.V., heard of this sixth survivor of the satellite camp Colosseum, we were greatly excited, particularly since we had met the Romanian Eduard Lorber at the meeting of survivors in Flossenbürg in June, only a couple of weeks before the sudden appearance of Kolakowski.
