  • Liberation & Revenge
    Episode Guide: Orders & Initiatives September 1941–March 1942 Jews from the Lódz ghetto board deportation trains for the Chelmno death camp. Overview "Orders and Initiatives" (Disc 1, Title 2, 48:27) highlights the crucial decision-making period of the Holocaust and reveals the secret plans of Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and Reinhard Heydrich to annihilate the Jews. At a conference in January 1942, the Nazis plan how to achieve their goals. The first gas chambers are built at Auschwitz and the use of Zyklon B is developed. German doctors arrive to oversee each transport, deciding who should live and who should die. In the program's Follow-up Discussion (Disc 2, Bonus Features, Title 8, 7:18), Linda Ellerbee interviews Claudia Koonz, professor of history at Duke University and author of The Nazi Conscience (Belknap, 2003), and Edward Kissi, professor of Africana studies at the University of South Florida and an expert on international relations and human rights. Target Audience: Grades 9-12 social studies, history, and English courses Student Learning Goals • Citing specific events and decisions, analyze how the Nazi mission changed from September 1941 to March 1942, explaining the reasons for the changes. • Compare Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II (Birkenau) in terms of location, purpose, population, and living conditions. • Identify the incremental steps the Nazis used to isolate Jews and deport them from their home environments to death camps, and the effects on Jews, their neighbors, and the Nazis at each stage. • Summarize how and why many European nations collaborated with the Nazis, including their history of antisemitism.

The other person, opposite whom I exist physically in the world and with whom I can exist only as long as he [sic] does not touch my skin surface as border, forces his own corporeality on me with the first blow. He is on me and thereby destroys me.1 The passage above, taken from the influential philosophical testimony of Jean Améry, reflects on the author’s wartime torture at the hands of the Gestapo – an experience that, at least in part (in addition to his later imprisonment in Auschwitz), led to his suicide in 1978.

  • Teaching the Holocaust Nonfiction Resources
    TEACHING THE HOLOCAUST NONFICTION RESOURCES This list has been compiled to assist educators in their search for literature to use in teaching the Holocaust to children at all grade levels, K-12. This list is comprehensive but certainly not exhaustive. This research aid contains NONFICTION books whose primary topic is Jewish children who lived during or through the Holocaust. Comprising it is a mixture of literature about Jewish children who did survive the Holocaust and those who did not (most of which are in diary format). Although far fewer in number, books that tell of a person’s life after the War (i.e. in Eretz Israel or the United States) have also been included. Poetry can be found on the fiction resources list. A title’s inclusion herein was based solely upon whatever summary of a book could be found, which has been provided (copied-and-pasted) along with its source (as a website address). The author of this listing made very minor corrections to summaries where needed, including but not limited to: italicizing book titles; changing foreign words (to make spelling uniform throughout); editing for overall mechanics and spelling. Not included in this listing: • Any books whose title suggested appropriateness for inclusion on this list but for which a summary could not be found. • Books whose primary topic is of others (adults or children) who helped Jewish children (to hide, etc.) during the Holocaust or who helped to rescue them. • Books told from the perspective of a non-Jewish child who may have witnessed the mistreatment of Jews or assisted any Jewish person in some way.

The introduction begins by presenting a historiography of Auschwitz and the following chapters focus on Rudolph Hӧss, the victims and an analysis on the motives for holocaust perpetrators. A developed body of research exists on perpetrators of the Holocaust and this thesis seeks to contribute to this body of scholarship by examining Hӧss’ diaries, and trial transcripts, as well as Holocaust survivor memoirs, to determine whether Hӧss may be appropriately labeled a “desk killer.” Thesis Mentor:________________________ Dr. Brian K.

  • Simulating Survival
    (139-188)CURI3 17/3/03 05:41 PM Page 139 Simulating Survival SIMONE A. SCHWEBER University of Wisconsin–Madison Madison, Wisconsin, USA Counterfeit and reproduction imply always an anguish, a disquieting foreignness. —Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulations INTRODUCTION I first heard about Katie Bess’s1 teaching of the Holocaust from a former student of hers who had become a student of mine. The student, a young Jewish girl entering 10th grade at the time, told me that it was the “coolest” class she had ever taken. The ninth-graders taking the class “played Jews,” and the 10th graders who had taken the class the year before came back to play “the Gestapo.” The teacher was a “kind of Hitler,” directing every- thing that happened in the room. The teacher had conducted a Holocaust simulation, and for this student the experience was emotionally powerful. She claimed that she would never forget it. I remember thinking at the time that in all probability this student had indeed had a powerful learn- ing experience, but that it must have come at the expense of trivializing the Holocaust. I thought then that no simulation, no matter how well done, could avoid that significant pitfall. How, after all, could a classroom encounter that didn’t include actual barbarity, physical, emotional, and spiritual, mimic Holocaust atrocity authentically? How could the finality of mass murder be conveyed to students in a meaningful way, without bastardizing its deepest and most personal consequences? What Thomas Laqueur (1994) lamented about the Holocaust Memor- ial Museum in Washington, DC resonated with the reservations I held about classroom simulations of the Holocaust: Any simulacrum [of the Holocaust] would be unspeakably vulgar.

  • Jewish Women's Experiences During Their Internment in Auschwitz
    JEWISH WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES DURING THEIR INTERNMENT IN AUSCHWITZ by ELIZABETH ANN BRYANT (Under the Direction of Miranda Pollard) ABSTRACT This study analyzes eleven memoirs written by female, Jewish Auschwitz survivors to demonstrate that their experiences within the camp were complex. Though similar to men’s in some ways, only women had to cope with sex specific issues such as pregnancy, the threat of infertility, or amenorrhea. Other experiences, such as the shaving of their heads, affected women differently than men. By studying the voices of these eleven women, while recognizing they cannot and should not speak for all females who were interned in Auschwitz, this study proves that their experiences were dissimilar enough so that male Auschwitz survivors should not be allowed to continue to speak for all who survived.

ANDERSON HUGHES A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Professor Belinda Davis and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION FORCED PROSTITUTION: THE COMPETING AND CONTESTED USES OF THE CONCENTRATION CAMP BROTHEL By JESSICA R. ANDERSON HUGHES Dissertation Director: Professor Belinda Davis This dissertation enhances and complicates the history of Nazi racial and sexual policies by examining the quotidian politics of ten brothels staffed by and for prisoners that operated in concentration camps in Germany and its occupied territories. Instituted in 1941 under the command of Heinrich Himmler with the goal of providing rewards for diligent labor among “prominent” male camp prisoners, the brothels constituted a unique space in which competing Nazi ideologies of race, power, and sex collided. This dissertation not only explores how the brothels functioned as part of a Nazi-inspired labor incentive program for “prominent” prisoners, but also reveals their unannounced functions, such as serving as laboratories of sexual experimentation for the “re- education” of homosexual prisoners. It shows too how prisoners instrumentalized sex and sexuality to their advantage. Although the majority of women and some men could not choose their level of participation in the brothel, in many instances they were able to use their time in the brothel to their advantage.
