    Shoah 1 Shoah

    Shoah 1 Shoah [1] (« catastrophe » ,שואה : Le terme Shoah (hébreu désigne l'extermination par l'Allemagne nazie des trois quarts des Juifs de l'Europe occupée[2] , soit les deux tiers de la population juive européenne totale et environ 40 % des Juifs du monde, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; ce qui représente entre cinq et six millions de victimes selon les estimations des historiens[3] . Ce génocide des Juifs constituait pour les nazis « la Solution finale à la question juive » (die Endlösung der Judenfrage). Le terme français d’Holocauste est également utilisé et l’a précédé. Le terme « judéocide » est également utilisé par certains pour qualifier la Destruction du ghetto de Varsovie, avril 1943. Shoah. L'extermination des Juifs, cible principale des nazis, fut perpétrée par la faim dans les ghettos de Pologne et d'URSS occupées, par les fusillades massives des unités mobiles de tuerie des Einsatzgruppen sur le front de l'Est (la « Shoah par balles »), au moyen de l'extermination par le travail forcé dans les camps de concentration, dans les « camions à gaz », et dans les chambres à gaz des camps d'extermination. L'horreur de ce « crime de masse »[4] a conduit, après-guerre, à l'élaboration des notions juridiques de « crime contre l'humanité »[5] et de « génocide »[6] , utilisé postérieurement dans d'autres contextes (génocide arménien, génocide des Tutsi, etc.). Une très grave lacune du droit international humanitaire a également été complétée avec l'adoption des Conventions de Genève de 1949, qui protègent la population civile en temps de guerre[7] . L'extermination des Juifs durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale se distingue par son caractère industriel, bureaucratique et systématique qui la rend unique dans l'histoire de l'humanité[8] .

    I. Regionale Organisation Des SD

    I. Regionale Organisation des SD 1. Räumliche Gliederung Analog zu seiner Stellung im Gefüge der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft war auch die räumliche Gliederung des Sicherheitsdienstes nicht statisch, sondern stän- dig im Wandel begriffen. Die äußere Hülle präsentiert sich unstetig und ist ähnlich schwer zu fassen wie sein innerer Charakter. Zwischen 1932 und 1945 wurden fast im Jahresrhythmus Reorganisationen durchgeführt, die die räumlichen Grenzzie- hungen und regionalen Unterstellungsverhältnisse immer wieder veränderten.1 Dies trifft besonders auf den mitteldeutschen Raum zu, der mit den Ländern Sachsen, Thüringen, Anhalt und Preußen bereits auf staatlicher Seite stark zer- klüftet war.2 Deshalb scheint hier eine Darstellung, die - anders als der größte Teil dieser Arbeit - dem Ablauf auf der Zeitachse chronologisch folgen wird, ange- bracht, um weiterführende Prozesse und Merkmale in ihrer regionalen Reichweite richtig abschätzen zu können. Im Hinblick auf den regionalen Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit wird die besondere Aufmerksamkeit auf der Entwicklung im Land Sachsen liegen. Um für dieses Land die Verbindung von der Organisationsgeschichte zur Bio- grafieforschung zu finden, werden in einem direkt anschließenden Exkurs die ent- scheidenden SD-Führer porträtiert. Da es sowohl aus den zentralistischen Organi- sationsstrukturen heraus als auch von der Selbsteinschätzung dieser Männer her nie einen spezifisch „sächsischen" Sicherheitsdienst gegeben hat, ist Mitteldeutsch- land die entscheidende Größe. Im biografischen Teil soll es darum gehen, welchen biografischen Hintergrund die Männer hatten, die die Strukturen ausfüllten. Um diese regionale Elite einord- nen, ihre spezifische Mentalität und die von Heydrich zugewiesene Aufgabe als an allen Fronten einsetzbare politische Kämpfer erkennen zu können, darf sich die Darstellung nicht auf deren Zeit in Sachsen beschränken.

This duty corresponds to our fundamental rights as citizens and as persons to receive and give respect to each other in view of our possession of such rights.” Such duty, outlined by contemporary philosopher Alan S. Rosenbaum, was no better exemplified than in the case of Nazi war criminals in the aftermath of World War II. Even before the floundering Axis powers of Germany and Japan declared their respective official surrenders in 1945, the leaders of the Allies prepared possible courses of action for the surviving criminals in the inevitable collapse of the Nazi regime. Since the beginning of the war in 1939, the Nazi regime in Germany implemented a policy of waging a war so barbaric in its execution that the total numbers of casualties rivaled whole populations of countries.

    Operation 1005 in Belorussia: Commonalities and Unique Features, 1942–1944

    DOI:10.17951/k.2017.24.1.155 ANNALES UNIVERSITATIS MARIAE CURIE-SKŁODOWSKA LUBLIN – POLONIA VOL. XXIV, 1 SECTIO K 2017 Tel Aviv University, Goldstein-Goren Diaspora Research Center LEONID SMILOVITSKY Operation 1005 in Belorussia: Commonalities and Unique Features, 1942–1944 ABSTRACT The article is devoted to the little-studied topic of concealing the traces of Nazi mass crimes on the territory of Belarus, in the period from the spring of 1942 to the liberation of the Republic in the summer of 1944. “Operation 1005” is the code name of a top-secret large-scale operation, carried out by Nazi Germany in order to hide the traces of mass killings committed in Europe during World War II. Citing numerous examples of the cities, regions and areas of Belarus, the author reveals the mechanism used by the Nazis for concealing the consequences of mass murders, names the initiators of these crimes, the executioners and their accomplices. The article has been written on the basis of documentary materials found in various archives, which have been supplemented by the testimony of witnesses of those events, that allowed the author to show the general and the particular, and to draw the necessary conclusions. Key words: “Operation 1005”, Belarus, Jews, Holocaust, genocide, Belarus Jewry, WW2, Nazi crimes INTRODUCTION During the Second World War, in the region of Belorussia (in the territory of modern-day Belarus), the Nazis established over 260 SS and SD forced-labor and internment camps, prisons, penal colonies, and transit camps and colonies for women and children [Mikhnuk 1995: 295]. The Jewish population of Belorussia was cut off and doomed to die in over 300 small and large ghettos throughout the country.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-45608-1 - The Nuremberg SS-Einsatzgruppen Trial, 1945-1958: Atrocity, Law, and History Hilary Earl Frontmatter More information The Nuremberg SS-Einsatzgruppen Trial, 1945–1958 Atrocity, Law, and History Based on extensive archival research, this book offers the first historical examination of the arrest, trial, and punishment of the leaders of the SS-Einsatzgruppen – the mobile security and killing units employed by the Nazis in their racial war on the eastern front. Sent to the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941, four units of Einsatzgruppen, along with reinforcements, murdered approximately 1 million Soviet civilians in open air shootings and in gas vans and, in 1947, twenty-four leaders of these units were indicted for crimes against humanity and war crimes for their part in the murders. In addition to describing the legal proceedings that held these men accountable, this book also examines recent histo- riographical trends and perpetrator paradigms and expounds on such contested issues as the timing and genesis of the Final Solution, the perpetrators’ route to crime, and their motivation for killing, as well as discussing the tensions between law and history. Hilary Earl is Assistant Professor of History at Nipissing University, North Bay, Ontario, Canada. Her research has been featured in several collections, including Lessons and Legacies IV (2004), Secret Intel- ligence and the Holocaust (2006), and Biography between Structure and Agency: Central European Lives in International Historiography (2008). Her most recent project, The Genocide Paradox: Prosecuting Genocide from Nuremberg to The Hague, is a historical examination of the legal outcomes of war crimes trials from the post–World War II period through the trials conducted by the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia.

CHAPTER 3: The Evolution of the Trial Program INTRODUCTION As noted in the previous chapter, although Taylor‟s initial forecast called for at least 36 trials involving at least 266 defendants, the OCC ultimately managed to hold only 12 trials involving 185 defendants. This chapter explains that dramatic reduction. Section 1 focuses on the OCC‟s early planning, describing how the OCC determined which of the nearly 100,000 war-crimes suspects detained pursuant to JCS 1023/10 were eligible to be prosecuted in the zonal trials and examining the general principles the OCC used to group those potential defendants into particular cases. Section 2 then traces the gradual evolution of the OCC‟s actual trial program, explaining how the OCC selected the twelve trials and explaining why, for various reasons, it decided to abandon a number of other cases. I. PRINCIPLES OF SELECTION A. Early Planning The OCC – then still known as the SPD – began to determine who would be tried in the zonal trials

    Die Begnadigung Deutscher Kriegsverbrecher. John J. Mccloy

    THOMAS ALAN SCHWARTZ DIE BEGNADIGUNG DEUTSCHER KRIEGSVERBRECHER John J. McCloy und die Häftlinge von Landsberg Am 31. Januar 1951 gab der amerikanische Hohe Kommissar John J. McCloy seine endgültige Entscheidung über die Gnadengesuche von 89 deutschen Kriegsverbre­ chern bekannt, die im Gefängnis von Landsberg einsaßen. McCloy bestätigte fünf der insgesamt fünfzehn Todesurteile, von denen die meisten gegen Mitglieder der berüchtigten Einsatzgruppen wegen Tötung Tausender von Juden in Osteuropa ver­ hängt worden waren. Auch fünf Wehrmachtsoffizieren, die der Erschießung von Geiseln und Kriegsgefangenen in der Sowjetunion und auf dem Balkan angeklagt und teils zu lebenslänglichen, teils zu 15jährigen Freiheitsstrafen verurteilt worden waren, verweigerte er die Begnadigung. In den 79 verbleibenden Fällen aber lagen ihm offenbar ausreichende Gründe vor, die eine Verringerung der Strafen rechtfer­ tigten. Aufgrund der Anrechnung von Untersuchungshaft und guter Führung führ­ ten die Urteilsminderungen zur sofortigen Entlassung von über 30 Gefangenen1. Einer von ihnen war der Industrielle Alfried Krupp, der wegen des Einsatzes von Zwangsarbeitern und Mitwirkung an der Ausbeutung deutscher Besatzungsgebiete verurteilt worden war; Krupps bisher beschlagnahmtes enormes Industrievermögen wurde zurückgegeben. Insgesamt signalisierten die Entscheidungen des Hohen Kommissars, die als eine Geste der Versöhnung angelegt waren, das Ende alliierter „Bestrafungspolitik" gegenüber Deutschland. Viele Beobachter im In- und Ausland erblickten darin jedoch eine Zurücknahme der Nürnberger Kriegsverbrecherpro­ zesse. Die Entscheidung über die Begnadigungen war die umstrittenste, die McCloy in seiner Amtszeit als Hoher Kommissar in Deutschland fällte. Sie erfolgte nur ein paar Monate, nachdem die Vereinigten Staaten die Wiederbewaffnung Deutsch­ lands vorgeschlagen hatten. Kritiker sahen darin deshalb ein zynisch kalkuliertes Produkt politischer Zweckrationalität. Der Wissenschaftler Fritz Ter Meer, ein als Kriegsverbrecher verurteilter ehemaliger Mitarbeiter von I.

Soweit der Chef des SS-Hauptamtes Gottlob Berger (16.7.1896-5.1.1975) angesprochen ist, geschieht dies in Hinsicht auf die Begegnungen der Lebenswege beider Männer. Die Literatur über die Täter nationalsozialistischer Verbrechen im deutschen Reich und nach Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges in ganz Europa ist im Laufe der Jahrzehnte stark gewachsen und dank der Forschung mangelt es nicht an einer Fülle von Quellen, aus denen die einschlägigen Biografien schöpfen können. Schwieriger ist es, aus den Verhältnissen und jeweiligen Umständen heraus, die zur Begehung der Verbrechen führten, die Täterbiografien zu verstehen. Dieser Aufgabe stellt sich die vorliegende Arbeit über Gottlob Berger und Oskar Dirlewanger, deren Lebenswege sich 1914 in Ulm und 1933 in Esslingen kreuzten und bis 1945 eng verflochten waren.
