Ms. Casey provided further impetus for it by her research assistance on international human rights issues, and continued with research and editorial work as the essay developed. Ms. Giordani researched French law and procedure and obtained original sources. Mr. Mardemootoo worked on further research and assisted in formulating the issues. The translations of most French materials were initially done by Professor Tigar and reviewed by Ms. Giordani and Mr. Mardemootoo.

  • BICICLETA III Reflexions Sobre El Internacionalismo 8
    III Reflexiones sobre el internacionalismo Osvaldo Bayer Imagen prohibida de Alemania Hace unos meses, el Instituto de Relaciones exteriores de Alemania, invitó al historiador cineasta argentino Osvaldo Bayer (autor de La Patagonia Rebelde ) a participar en un encuentro entre intelectuales alemanes y latinoamericanos. Se le pidió un trabajo sobre "La imagen alemana para un exiliado " pidiéndole que se expresara de forma personal y crítica, en base a su propia experiencia. Pero el sin duda esperado elogio de la democracia alemana en contraste con la sangrienta dictadura de Videla, no se produjo, y el trabajo de Osvaldo Bayer fue rechazado y devuelto con una carta del Director Organismo Günter W. Lorenz en la que le acusaba de formular «aborrecibles difamaciones la R.F.A.». Reproducimos el texto de 1a ponencia rechazada por su indudable valor testimonial e informativo. ¿Qué valor puede tener la opinión de un exiliado latinoamericano acerca de Alemania? ¿No significa esto pedir la opinión de un enfermo? Una opinión que puede variar entre el ditirambo de quien de pronto se halla a salvo y no teme ya oír el timbre de la puerta de su casa, con el consiguiente agradecimiento a la tierra que lo ha recogido; o, todo lo contrario, una acusación emocional, amarga, desesperada por saber que justamente aquí se elabora el sistema que ha hecho posible la tragedia del asesinato o la prisión de los amigos y familiares. De ver -en ese caso-en cada alemán el responsable de todo lo que ocurre a miles de kilómetros de distancia. Al decir esto último ya estamos en la dualidad vivencial del exiliado latinoamericano que se ve obligado a vivir en cualquier país industrial de occidente.

XXVII 2019 PUBLISHED BY HIDDEN CHILD FOUNDATION /ADL DESPITE ALL ODDS, THEY SURVIVED, PERSISTED — AND THRIVED DESPITE ALL ODDS, THEY SURVIVED, PERSISTED — AND THRIVED FROM HUNTED ESCAPEE TO FEARFUL REFUGEE: POLAND, 1935-1946 Anna Rabkin hen the mass slaughter of Jews ended, the remnants’ sole desire was to go 3 back to ‘normalcy.’ Children yearned for the return of their parents and their previous family life. For most child survivors, this wasn’t to be. As WEva Fogelman says, “Liberation was not an exhilarating moment. To learn that one is all alone in the world is to move from one nightmarish world to another.” A MISCHLING’S STORY Anna Rabkin writes, “After years of living with fear and deprivation, what did I imagine Maren Friedman peace would bring? Foremost, I hoped it would mean the end of hunger and a return to 9 school. Although I clutched at the hope that our parents would return, the fatalistic per- son I had become knew deep down it was improbable.” Maren Friedman, a mischling who lived openly with her sister and Jewish mother in wartime Germany states, “My father, who had been captured by the Russians and been a prisoner of war in Siberia, MY LIFE returned to Kiel in 1949. I had yearned for his return and had the fantasy that now that Rivka Pardes Bimbaum the war was over and he was home, all would be well. That was not the way it turned out.” Rebecca Birnbaum had both her parents by war’s end. She was able to return to 12 school one month after the liberation of Brussels, and to this day, she considers herself among the luckiest of all hidden children.

  • Symbolic Revenge in Holocaust Child Survivors Nancy Isserman
    D 7 SYMBOLIC REVENGE IN HOLOCAUST CHILD SURVIVORS Nancy Isserman Introduction The attitudes of Holocaust survivors toward their persecutors present an intriguing subject for exploration. One component of the attitudes expressed is revenge. The concept of revenge is pervasive throughout literature, religious and legal writings, and history. Revenge is also considered a subset of political intolerance. Research on intolerance has been linked to age, education, and religious affiliation, among other demographic factors.1 Political intolerance is associated with low education, older age, rural residence, and fundamentalist reli- gious affiliation.2 My recent qualitative research found a connection between family-of-origin relationships and intolerance.3 Survivors who evidenced positive relationships with their family-of-origin caregivers also demonstrated tolerant attitudes toward the perpetrators of the genocide; conversely, survivors who had troubled relationships with their family-of-origin caregivers expressed intolerance toward the perpetrators.4 The Oxford Dictionaries online define revenge as both concrete and symbolic. The concrete definition incorporates physical behavior: “The action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands.”5 Examples of concrete revenge are found in Holocaust survivor narratives during the later years of the war and immediately afterward. The most famous example of concrete revenge is Abba Kovner, who believed that “the Jews must seek revenge, answering a crime that could not be answered.”6 In the spring of 1945 he declared, “Yes, the War is over, but no, not for the Germans; it is time for the Germans to suffer; the Germans, who killed the Jews, must now pay with their own lives,”7 and quoted Psalm 94 in which God is called on to take revenge on the enemies of Israel.
