  • The Testimonies of Two Former Auschwitz- Birkenau Sonderkommando Survivors: the Gabbai Brothers
    Understanding Shades of Grey: The Testimonies of Two Former Auschwitz- Birkenau Sonderkommando Survivors: The Gabbai Brothers. by SARAH JESSICA GREGORY A chapter from a larger thesis titled “Understanding Shades of Grey: The Written and Oral Testimonies of Jewish Prisoner Functionaries” submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Honours in Modern History Macquarie University 2012 This essay focuses on two Jewish Sonderkommando members from the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau and how they have constructed their written and oral testimonies after the Holocaust. Prisoner functionaries such as the Sonderkommando were prisoners used by the Nazis to control the everyday functioning of the labour and death camps. In return, they received “privileges,” such as more food for their cooperation. Because of this cooperation, many non-privileged prisoners viewed these prisoner functionaries as Nazi collaborators, particularly when recounting their own experiences. This made many prisoner functionaries self-impose a degree of silence for fear of judgement and retribution after the war. The Sonderkommando, for example, remained largely silent after their liberation from Allied forces because of fear of judgement and misunderstandings of their position. The Nazis used the Sonderkommando, the ‘special unit’ or squad, as forced labourers to facilitate the extermination process of the “Jewish problem.” Sonderkommando members ensured the fast-paced undressing phase of prisoners prior to their gassing, removed bodies from the gas chambers and relocated them to the furnace room or large outdoor pits for cremation; removed valuable items, hair and gold teeth, and disposed of the human ashes from the crematoriums.1 In return for this work, Sonderkommando members received greater quantities of food, better living arrangements, and more leisure time.

It documents, in about two hundred photos from every direction and from every angle, the process of arrival, the enlisting, the selection, the confiscation of property and the preparation for the physical liquidation of a Jewish transport. This transport came from the area of Carpatho-Ruthenia, a region annexed in 1939 to Hungary from Czechoslovakia, and arrived at the ramp of the extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau on May 1944. The most surprising and striking fact is that the album fell into the hands of a survivor of that same death transport. Lili Jacob opened a photographic album and suddenly recognized the people of her community, who arrived with her to the platform of Birkenau: her rabbi, her numerous family relatives, and herself.

  • Introduction Testimonies of Resistance Nicholas Chare and Dominic Williams R
    Introduction Testimonies of Resistance Nicholas Chare and Dominic Williams R As the late director Claude Lanzmann and his editor Ziva Postec began to put some shape on the hundreds of hours of footage that he had filmed for Shoah (dir. Claude Lanzmann, France, 1985), it became clear to them that the central space around which their film should circle was the gas chamber.1 It was also clear that they could not, and should not, represent this space pictorially. Instead, it had to be evoked by testimony, that of the people who had worked around and in the chambers: the Sonderkommando (SK), or their equivalents, in Auschwitz, Chełmno and Treblinka. Lanzmann was therefore making the claim that these survivors in particular were central to an understanding of the entire period of persecution and mass murder of the Jewish people in Europe. Lanzmann’s approach placed itself in opposition to what had gone before: accounts of survival and life in the concentration camps, the use of archive footage taken by perpetrators and liberators. His new approach was to concentrate on what the witnesses of the gas chambers said, paying them closer atten- tion than they had been paid before.2 The SK had indeed been a group that had been given less consideration than might be expected. They were forced to labour at the heart of one of the killing centres of the Holocaust. At Auschwitz in particular, they witnessed, as they worked, hundreds of thousands of fellow Jews from all over Europe being brought into the crematorium buildings of Birkenau, tricked or forced into undressing and entering the gas chambers.

  • The Life of Victims and Perpetrators - Documented in the Two Auschwitz Albums
    Lezing The Life of Victims and Perpetrators - documented in the two Auschwitz Albums Donderdag 24 november 2016 Universiteit Antwerpen, Stadscampus Lokaal R.013 Rodestraat 14 2000 Antwerpen Lezing in het Engels Deelname is gratis Inschrijven: www.uantwerpen.be/ijs Lezing georganiseerd door het Instituut voor Joodse Studies in samenwerking met het Museum Kazerne Dossin en de Stichting Auschwitz. The two photo collections, which were published under the titles "The First Auschwitz Album" (also known as the "Lili Meier Album") and "The Second Auschwitz Album" (also known as "Karl Höcker Album") attracted much attention. They show the dualistic world of Auschwitz-Birkenau. On the one hand there is the life of the victims, which is shown by the first album. It documents the suffering, the humiliation and the murder of the Hungarian Jews during the mass deportations and gassings in spring and summer 1944. It also depicts the consequent system of lies of the perpetrators, who did not tell their victims until the very end, what was going to happen. On the other hand the second album shows us the life of the perpetrators, who enjoyed their time at the recreation home at "Solahütte" - without any scruples or feelings of guilt. Solahütte is located only 30 kilometers away from Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Death Machinery. This emphasizes the parallel existence of two totally different worlds in extreme spatial proximity. The two albums help us to better understand the two worlds of the victims and the perpetrators. The presentation mainly deals with the aspects of humanity, moral values, historical photography and its meaning for Auschwitz as a symbol of evil.

  • The Dept. of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, Copenhagen University Announces in AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU, 1942-1945 This Presenta
    The Dept. of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, Copenhagen University Announces Lecture and Discussion: Prof. Gideon Greif, When: Thursday September 27th 16.15-17.15 Where: Snorresgade U 5 THE INDUSTRIAL MASS-EXTERMINATION IN AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU, 1942-1945 Chair: Thomas Brudholm This presentation describes the mass killing process in the gas chambers and crematories of Auschwitz-Birkenau in a very detailed manner. It is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation and by short videos showing interviews with former Jewish prisoners. Based on exclusive interviews with the last survivors of the Jewish “Sonderkommando”, who were forced to take part in the process of industrial killing in Auschwitz-Birkenau, made by the author, the presentation offers a clear vision of the mass murder in the largest extermination camp of Nazi Germany, in which about one and a half million people— most of them Jews—were murdered. The presentation reconstructs the crucial stage of ”The Final Solution”, beginning with the arrival of a transport, the ”selection”, the methods of deceit, the structure and architecture of the Gas chambers and the various tasks of the “Sonderkommando” prisoners. The lecture deals with an aspect of the Shoah that was rather unknown until now and enables the understanding of the Genocide, which was executed in Auschwitz. Gideon Greif is an Israeli historian, educator and pedagogue. He is Professor for Jewish and Israeli History at the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also Chief Historian and Researcher at the "Shem Olam Institute for Education, Documentation and Research on Faith and the Holocaust”, Israel, and at the Foundation for Holocaust Education Projects in Miami, Florida.

    Our story Supporting the emotional wellbeing of expectant & new parents FOREWORD ‘Start talking’ – it’s a simple message. A simple message and one that can have a powerful and dramatic impact. Becoming a parent is one of the most exciting experiences anyone can have. It is life-changing in every way imaginable. It can be daunting, scary and full of unknowns. Raising a child will bring you joy and happiness. Having and raising a child can make you feel anxious and depressed. All of these seemingly contradictory statements can, at the same time, be true and the range of emotions and responses are perfectly normal for parents to have. There should not be a stigma around how any parent feels. Mental health is as gidget important as physical well-being. That is why it is so important for us to have conversations. Start talking.
