Treblinka, Umístěném Ve Východním Polsku, Bylo Mezi Létem 1942 Až Létem 1943 Zavražděno Nejméně 700 000 a Možná Až 3 000 000 Lidí, Zejména Židovského Původu Text ze zadní strany přebalu: Přeživší holocaust uvádí, že ve vyhlazovacím táboře Treblinka, umístěném ve východním Polsku, bylo mezi létem 1942 až létem 1943 zavražděno nejméně 700 000 a možná až 3 000 000 lidí, zejména židovského původu. Tvrdí se, že k vraždění byly používány nejrůz- nější prostředky: Mobilní nebo pevné plynové komory, jedovatý plyn se zpožděným či oka- mžitým účinkem, nehašené vápno, horká pára, elektrický proud, kulomety, vakuové komory, plynný chlór, cyklon B, výfukové zplodiny z dieselových motorů. Podle svědků byly mrtvoly nakonec páleny na hranicích o velikosti několikapatrového domu, aniž po nich cokoliv zbylo. V první části knihy je vysvětleno a vystaveno důkladné kritice oficiální vykreslování a po- pisování tábora Treblinka, a to z hlediska jeho historické geneze, vnitřní logiky a technické proveditelnosti. Výsledek tohoto rozboru je v zásadě ten, že historický obrázek, který je v mnoha evropských zemích stanoven trestním zákonem, je neudržitelný, jelikož se nejedná o nic jiného než o nepřetržitý řetězec absurdit. Ve druhé části knihy se autoři s pomocí svědeckých výpovědí, dokumentů a forenzních ná- lezů pokouší určit skutečnou funkci tábora Treblinka. Ve své analýze dochází k závěru, že Treblinka byla tranzitní tábor, kterým procházeli Židé z Varšavy a dalších oblastí na cestě buď na okupovaná sovětská území na východě, nebo do Majdanku a ostatních pracovních táborů v oblastech jižně od Treblinky.

  • Habermann Family Story
    Habermann Family Story Submitted by Ruth Habermann, Givatayim and Eyal Habermann, Shoham The Habermann family were watchmakers for generations and had three jewelry stores - in Drohobycz, Boryslaw and Truskawiec. The Habermanns were one of the well-to-do the families in town. The Germans occupied Drohobycz in the middle of September 1939. Some Ukrainians informed the Germans on the whereabouts of Jonah Habermann. The house was raided by the Germans who did much property damage, but Jonah was in hiding and was not found. Two years later, following the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviets occupied Drohobycz. All private property was immediately nationalized under Article 11 (prohibition to hold private property). Wealthy families could no longer live in big cities. Judith and Jonah Habermann were forced to live outside of Drohobycz and moved to Truskawiec. Alex Habermann, who was 12 years old, stayed with his maternal grandparents Joseph and Ethel Hershmann in Drohobycz. Alex remembered a Jew who fled from Kraków saying: "When will the Germans came to free us from these Bolsheviks". The Habermann family received a deportation order for Siberia for June 27th, 1941. They were preparing for the journey by hiding assets and packing belongings. On June 22nd, 1941, 5 days before the planned deportation, the Germans breaking the non-aggression pact, invaded the area that was under Russian rule. Judith and Jonah Habermann returned to Drohobycz. After about a week the Germans entered Drohobycz. Following the German invasion, a pogrom carried out by the Ukrainians took place. 900 Jews were murdered. The pogrom was followed by humiliations and degrading jobs such as cleaning the streets, as well as looting and killing by the Ukrainians for 6 months.

He testified, when called by the prosecutor to tell the truth, and declared categorically that alas, in spite of his best efforts and intentions, he cannot relate the truth accurately, since no human being can describe truthfully the enormities of the crimes, that quantitatively and qualitatively exceed human imagination. Nevertheless, I cannot remain silent or resign myself to inaction. The spilled blood of millions of our innocent brothers calls loudly and incessantly for justice. The shadows and souls of our Martyrs visit us in our dreams and keep us company in every step of reality, calling for hunting and punishing the perpetrators. They show the bleeding wounds and lacerated hands, bodies infected and torn by Gestapo dogs… their faces deformed by suffering deaths in gas chambers with bloody foam on their lips.

  • Paper for B(&N
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 8 • No. 11 • November 2018 doi:10.30845/ijhss.v8n11p1 The Planning and Architecture of Deportation, Imprisonment and Death - Reflections on the Ethical Implications of the Holocaust for Built and Natural Environment Disciplines Richard Kötter Senior Lecturer in Economic /Political Geography Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences School of the Built and Natural Environment Faculty of Engineering and Environment Northumbria University Lewis Preston Formerly Senior Lecturer in Architecture School of the Built and Natural Environment Northumbria University Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST. Abstract This paper is based on an exchange and dialogue between two academics on how the legacy of the Nazi period is relevant for built environment, planning and human geography disciplines.We argue that we should be reflecting on the conduct and utility of spatial and urban planning and design in the Nazi period from the perspective of professional ethics, not just as a historical reflection and remembrance but also to inform current and future generations of professionals. Keywords: National Socialist (NS / Nazi) spatial planning and urban design; professional conduct and ethics, Holocaust / Shoah / Porajnos 1, „tabula rasa“; Oswiecim / Auschwitz; German occupation of Poland from 1939. 2 1.0 Architecture and Planning‚ Post-Auschwitz‘? Taking their cue from Adorno„s text on „education after Auschwitz“ in the 1960s 3, a whole series of professions have asked this question for their respective field: what do the events of Auschwitz (as the central symbolic reference space) and the genocide in Europe more broadly perpetrated by Nazi Germany and her collaborateurs mean for the actors of the following generations ? 4 We shall restrict ourself to a consideration (informed by historiographies) of the disciplines of architecture and urban construction (Rose, 1993, Gutschow, 2001; Willems, 2000), spatial planning and urban design (Rössler, 1989 and 2001, in Szöllösi-Janze, M.
