THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust
THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski The Polish Police Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 17, 2016 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, April 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Jan Grabowski THE INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. Wrong Memory Codes? The Polish “Blue” Police and Collaboration in the Holocaust In 2016, seventy-one years after the end of World War II, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs disseminated a long list of “wrong memory codes” (błędne kody pamięci), or expressions that “falsify the role of Poland during World War II” and that are to be reported to the nearest Polish diplomat for further action. Sadly—and not by chance—the list elaborated by the enterprising humanists at the Polish Foreign Ministry includes for the most part expressions linked to the Holocaust. On the long list of these “wrong memory codes,” which they aspire to expunge from historical narrative, one finds, among others: “Polish genocide,” “Polish war crimes,” “Polish mass murders,” “Polish internment camps,” “Polish work camps,” and—most important for the purposes of this text—“Polish participation in the Holocaust.” The issue of “wrong memory codes” will from time to time reappear in this study. -

The considerations presented in this article are an addendum to the issues related to the policy of the authorities of the Second Republic of Poland on national minorities and its influence on the internal security of the state. This subject was undertaken by the Author earlier when he analysed the activity of the represen- tatives the German and Ukrainian minority. The article presents potential factors which can destabilise internal security, especially at the social level, as a result of forces in the envi- ronments of the indicated national and ethnic minorities in the II RP. The presented argu- ments allow to conclude that during the whole interwar period the II RP authorities had to struggle with multiculturalism related to the presence of Belarusian, Lithuanian, Jewish and Silesian minorities because in their environment centrifugal forces were occurred many ti- mes and posed a threat to the internal security of the newly re-established Polish state. -

The Function of Memory from the Warsaw Ghetto as Presented by the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews Abstract Because of the extreme challenges they endured within Warsaw Ghetto and the slim chance they had at survival, the Jewish people sought to protect their legacy and leave a lasting impact on the world. They did so by both documenting their experiences, preserving them in what was known as the Oyneg Shabes archives, and by engaging in a bold act of defiance against the Nazis with the arsawW Ghetto Uprising in 1943, rewriting the narrative of Jewish passivity. With both instances, the POLIN Museum presents these moments of the past and shapes a collective memory based on a Jewish perspective with which the public can engage. -
Wall and Window. the Rubble of the Warsaw Ghetto As the Narrative
Wall and Window The rubble of the Warsaw Ghetto as the narrative space of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews* Konrad Matyjaszek Abstract: Opened in 2013, the Warsaw-based POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews is situated in the center of the former Nazi Warsaw ghetto, which was destroyed during its liquidation in 1943. The museum is also located opposite to the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes and Martyrs, built in 1948, as well as in between of the area of the former 19th-century Jewish district, and of the post-war modernist residential district of Mu- ranów, designed as a district-memorial for the destroyed ghetto. Constructed on such site, the Museum was however narrated as a “museum of life”, telling the “thousand-year-old history” of Polish Jews, and not focused directly on the history of the Holocaust or the history of Polish antisemitism. The paper offers a critical analysis of the curatorial and architectural strategies assumed by the Museum’s de- signers in the process of employing the urban location of the Museum in the narratives communicated by the building and its core exhibition. In this analysis, two key architectural interiors are examined in detail in terms of their correspondence with the context of the site: the Museum’s entrance lobby and the space of the “Jewish street,” incorporated into the core exhibition’s sub-galleries presenting the interwar period of Polish-Jewish history and the history of the Holocaust. The analysis of the design structure of these two interiors allows to raise the research question about the physical and symbolic role of the material substance of the destroyed ghetto in construction of a historical narrative that is separated from the history of the destruction, as well as one about the designers’ responsibilities arising from the decision to present a given history on the physical site where it took place. -

1 Taube Philanthropies Names Prof. Barbara Engelking
TAUBE PHILANTHROPIES NAMES PROF. BARBARA ENGELKING, LEADING AUTHORITY ON HOLOCAUST HISTORY, AS 2021 IRENA SENDLER MEMORIAL AWARD RECIPIENT MAY 10, 2021, SAN FRANCISCO — Taube Philanthropies has named the founder and director of the Polish Center for Holocaust Research at the Polish Academy of Sciences as the recipient of its 2021 Irena Sendler Memorial Award. At this globally recognized consortium for Holocaust studies, established in 2003, Prof. Engelking, a sociologist and leading authority on the history of the Warsaw Ghetto, has pioneered new directions in Holocaust research and interdisciplinary methodology, published dozens of respected books and articles, edited several volumes of primary Holocaust sources, and produced, with Jacek Leociak, the most comprehensive and authoritative monograph on the Warsaw Ghetto. As lead scholar and co- curator for the Holocaust gallery in the 8-gallery Core Exhibition of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, in Warsaw, she has played a vital role in creating a historical narrative that meets the highest scholarly standards, while delivering a compelling visitor experience for broad and diverse audiences. Between 2014 to 2018, Prof. Engelking chaired the International Auschwitz Council. She held the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Ina Levine Invitational Scholar, in Washington, DC, in 2015-2016. One of her most ambitious works is Dalej jest noc: losy Żydów w wybranych powiatach okupowanej Polski, co-edited with Professor Jan Grabowski of the University of Ottawa and with texts by nine authors. Published in 2018, this two-volume, 1,600-page study of nine counties in Nazi-occupied Poland identifies small Polish towns as “death traps” for Jews in hiding during the Holocaust. -
A Comparative Analysis of the Musical Activities
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE MUSICAL ACTIVITIES WITHIN THREE GERMAN OCCUPIED CONCENTRATION CAMPS: WARSAW, TEREZÍN, AND AUSCHWITZ _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Music _______________ by Melanie Maxine Hutchings Summer 2012 iii Copyright © 2012 by Melanie Maxine Hutchings All Rights Reserved iv ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS A Comparative Analysis of the Musical Activities within Three German Occupied Concentration Camps: Warsaw, Terezín, and Auschwitz by Melanie Maxine Hutchings Master of Arts in Music San Diego State University, 2012 The intention of this study was to examine the musical activities within three different concentration camps during World War II. The chosen concentration camps for this thesis represented three distinct types of camps: a ghetto, a transitory/labor camp, and an extermination camp. Comparative methods were used to discover similarities and differences of the musical activities that were allowed and encouraged by the Nazis. The study focused on seven areas of interest: repertoire, instruments, ensembles, venues, rules dictating musical activities, Nazi’s use of music, and the musicians’ status within the camp. It was found that the type of musical activities that existed within the camp directly correlated with the objective of that particular camp. Auschwitz was designed to systematically exterminate the Jews through their elaborate gas and crematorium chambers. Terezín was used for propaganda purposes to convince worried world leaders of the general well-being of the Jews. And finally, Warsaw was a temporary gathering place for the Jews until its citizens could be transported to extermination camps. -
