Dass es diese Schrift überhaupt und nun auch als Buch gibt, ist das Verdienst so vieler Men- schen, dass es aussichtslos scheint, den Versuch zu unternehmen, ihnen allen zu danken. Ich werde ihn dennoch unternehmen, wissend, dass mir noch zahlrei- che Menschen mehr begegnet sind, die mir wertvolle Hilfe und Unterstützung gaben. Doch zuerst: Ohne Prof. Dr. Karl Heinrich Pohl und Prof. Dr. Simone Lässig gäbe es dieses Buch nicht. Sie waren es, die frühzeitig ihren wissenschaftlichen Enthusiasmus auf mich übertrugen, die mich stets forderten und förderten, die mir Wege zeigten, die ich allein niemals gefunden hätte, geschweige denn ge- gangen wäre. Ihnen bin ich unendlich dankbar für ihre langjährige Unterstüt- zung und die Erfahrungen, die mein Leben soviel reicher gemacht haben. Prof. Dr. Rudolf Jaworski danke ich für die Übernahme des Zweitgutachtens und die Begleitung auf meinem Weg. Nicht nur die anregenden Diskussionen in seinem Kolloquium waren es, die mir Ansporn waren und Inspiration gaben. Neben meinen Lehrern und Mentoren möchte ich mich an dieser Stelle herzlich bei den Mitarbeitern der Archive und Institutionen bedanken, die meine Recherchen vorbehaltlos unterstützten. Jeffrey Carter vom Institutional Archive des United States Holocaust Memorial Museum möchte ich besonders danken. Immer wenn ich drohte, mich in der unendlichen Fülle des Archiv- materials zu verlieren, kam der »thinking hat« zum Einsatz und half wieder klarer zu sehen und zu denken. Danke Jeff! In Berlin war es v.a. Eva Brücker, die mich bei meiner Recherche unterstützte. Das Deutsche Historische Institut in Washington ermöglichte mir, gefördert durch ein Promotionsstipendium, einen besonders bereichernden For- schungsaufenthalt. Dort erhielt ich eine Vielzahl wertvoller Anregungen. So u.a. eine entscheidende für den Zugriff auf mein Thema. Danke Richard! Prof. Dr. Christof Mauch hat mit nur einem Satz viel mehr bewegt, als er vermutlich ahnt. Open-Access-Publikation im Sinne der CC-Lizenz BY-NC-ND 8 Danksagung Ohne die großzügige Förderung durch die Fritz Thyssen Stiftung und des Historischen Seminars der CAU Kiel wäre es mir nicht möglich gewesen, die notwendigen Reisen zu unternehmen, ohne die Unterstützung der Geschwister Boehringer Ingelheim Stiftung und der Johanna und Fritz Buch Gedächtnis- stiftung hätte ich die Studie nicht in Druck geben können. Diesen Institutionen möchte ich an dieser Stelle ebenso danken, wie den Herausgebern von »Eckert« für die Aufnahme meiner Arbeit in die gleichnamige Schriftenreihe. Für die Durchsicht des Manuskripts danke ich Horst Toman und Thomas Fahrenkamp. Nicht zuletzt waren es meine Familie und Freunde, die mich an- spornten, Rückhalt gaben, nie den Glauben an mich verloren und mich bis zu diesem Punkt begleitet und unterstützt haben. Das Gewissheit, dass sie es wei- terhin tun werden, ist das erfüllendste Gefühl, das es gibt. Celle, im Mai 2012 Katja Köhr Open-Access-Publikation im Sinne der CC-Lizenz BY-NC-ND 1. Holocaust-Erinnerung in einer globalisierten Welt Wir entfernen uns und starren dennoch auf das, von dem wir uns entfernen – mit weit aufgerissenem Mund. Wir schauen auf die »eine einzige Katastrophe, die unablässig Trümmer auf Trümmer häuft« und uns »vor die Füße schleudert«. Walter Benjamin1 Es scheint paradox: Je weiter sich die Ereignisse entfernen, umso stärker wächst das Interesse am Holocaust.2 Mehr als siebzig Jahre nach dem Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges und dem Auftakt der beispiellosen Verfolgung und Er- mordung der europäischen Juden und anderer Minderheiten durch deutsche Täter und ihre Kollaborateure ist das Verbrechen präsenter als jemals zuvor und wird als erinnerungskultureller Fluchtpunkt Europas3, ja sogar »globaler Refe- renzpunkt«4, diskutiert. Spätestens mit dem neuen Jahrtausend ist der Holo- caust zu einer »Gedächtnisikone«5 mit starker moralischer Konnotation ge- worden. Doch woran liegt es, dass das Thema eine derartige Präsenz besitzt? Was macht den Abstand zwischen der Geschichte des Holocaust und ihrer »postmemorialen«6 Deutung und damit ihre ungeheure Präsenz aus? 1 Walter Benjamin, Über den Begriff der Geschichte – These IX. In: Walter Benjamin, Ge- sammelte Werke Bd. I/2, Frankfurt a. M. 1980, 691–704, hier 697. 2 Holocaust ist kein Wort, das nur der Benennung eines historischen Ereignisses dient. Es transportiert gleichzeitig alle kulturellen Einschreibungen, die dieses Wort u.a. durch po- pularisierte Darstellungen erfahren hat. Vgl. zur Geschichte des Begriffs und seiner Tradie- rung: Christoph Münz, »Wohin die Sprache nicht reicht…« Sprache und Sprachbilder zwi- schen Bilderverbot und Schweigegebot. In: Bettina Bannasch und Almuth Hammer (Hrsg.), Verbot der Bilder-Gebot der Erinnerung – mediale Repräsentationen der Shoah, Frankfurt a. M./New York 2004, 147–166. In dieser Arbeit wird das Wort Holocaust und nicht z.B. Shoah vor allem auch deshalb verwendet, weil es in fast allen untersuchten Ausstellungen Teil der Selbstbeschreibung ist. Außerdem wird auch die Umdeutung des Wortes zu einer universalen und moralischen Metapher thematisiert, ist somit selbst Gegenstand der Untersuchung. 3 Vgl. dazu u.a. Lothar Probst, Founding Myths in

    Understanding the Recent Phenomena of Holocaust Remembrance in the Form of National Holocaust Museums and Memorials in Belgium, France, and Germany Hannah Elizabeth Garza Universiteit van Amsterdam Graduate School of Humanities A thesis submitted for the degree of Masters in Holocaust and Genocide Studies Spring 2017 !1 Abstract This thesis will focus on national Holocaust museums and memorials in Europe, in specific regards to the national Holocaust museums of Belgium and France, and the national Holocaust memorial of Germany. This dissertation will begin with a brief overview of the scholars used within each chapter, along with a discussion on the development of national Holocaust museums in Europe in the introduction chapter. Following the introduction, the first chapter will discuss the Kazerne Dossin Memorial Museum in Mechelen, Belgium. Chapter two will then cover the Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris, France. Finally, chapter three will then focus on the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in conjunction with its underground information center in Berlin, Germany. This thesis will endeavor to explore the themes represented in each museum in relation to German compliance, and the role of the bystanders from each Nation. The goal is to understand how each of these national institutions discussed within the text, portray their involvement in the events of the Holocaust and Second World War by way of State compliance and the actions of their bystanders.

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.

    Military History Anniversaries 1 thru 15 May Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests May 01 1778 – American Revolution: The Battle of Crooked Billet begins in Hatboro, PA » On 1 JAN John Lacey was appointed brigadier-general and given command of a large body of militia with the aim of interrupting British supply lines, especially those reaching Philadelphia. Crooked Billet was the Headquarters of Lacey, and became the target of the British commander in Philadelphia, Gen. William Howe. Lacey had been charged with patrolling the area north of Philadelphia, between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, with responsibility for warning Valley Forge of attacks, checking British foraging raids, and preventing local trade with the British. Most of the enlistments of the few troops he had were due to expire shortly. Promised, and desperately needed, reinforcements were slow arriving or simply not coming. The British dispatched a joint force of British troops and Hessians on 30 APR and they surprised the American forces whose commander was still in bed. The British had surprised the Americans and attempted to cut them off with a "pincer" type movement. Bands of Loyalists and British horsemen grew increasingly bold, and their raids into Lacey's sector were becoming more frequent. On 1 MAY, during the morning, Lacey found his camp near the Crooked Billet Tavern virtually surrounded by the British. Though outnumbered, Lacey rallied his troops during the initial attack and was able to withdraw to a nearby wooded area and make a stand.
