  • Déportés À Auschwitz. Certains Résis- Tion D’Une Centaine, Sont Traqués Et Tent Avec Des Armes
    MORT1943 ET RÉSISTANCE BIEN QU’AYANT rarement connu les noms de leurs victimes juives, les nazis entendaient que ni Zivia Lubetkin, ni Richard Glazar, ni Thomas Blatt ne survivent à la « solution finale ». Ils survécurent cependant et, après la Shoah, chacun écrivit un livre sur la Résistance en 1943. Quelque 400 000 Juifs vivaient dans le ghetto de Varsovie surpeuplé, mais les épi- démies, la famine et les déportations à Treblinka – 300 000 personnes entre juillet et septembre 1942 – réduisirent considérablement ce nombre. Estimant que 40 000 Juifs s’y trouvaient encore (le chiffre réel approchait les 55 000), Heinrich Himmler, le chef des SS, ordonna la déportation de 8 000 autres lors de sa visite du ghetto, le 9 janvier 1943. Cependant, sous la direction de Mordekhaï Anielewicz, âgé de 23 ans, le Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa (ZOB, Organisation juive de combat) lança une résistance armée lorsque les Allemands exécutèrent l’ordre d’Himmler, le 18 janvier. Bien que plus de 5 000 Juifs aient été déportés le 22 janvier, la Résistance juive – elle impliquait aussi bien la recherche de caches et le refus de s’enregistrer que la lutte violente – empêcha de remplir le quota et conduisit les Allemands à mettre fin à l’Aktion. Le répit, cependant, fut de courte durée. En janvier, Zivia Lubetkin participa à la création de l’Organisation juive de com- bat et au soulèvement du ghetto de Varsovie. « Nous combattions avec des gre- nades, des fusils, des barres de fer et des ampoules remplies d’acide sulfurique », rapporte-t-elle dans son livre Aux jours de la destruction et de la révolte.

  • World War II, Shoah and Genocide
    International Conference “The Holocaust: Remembrance and Lessons” 4 - 5 July 2006, Riga, Latvia Evening lecture at the Big Hall of Latvian University The Holocaust in its European Context Yehuda Bauer Allow me please, at the outset, to place the cart firmly before the horse, and set before you the justification for this paper, and in a sense, its conclusion. The Holocaust – Shoah – has to be seen in its various contexts. One context is that of Jewish history and civilisation, another is that of antisemitism, another is that of European and world history and civilisation. There are two other contexts, and they are very important: the context of World War II, and the context of genocide, and they are connected. Obviously, without the war, it is unlikely that there would have been a genocide of the Jews, and the war developments were decisive in the unfolding of the tragedy. Conversely, it is increasingly recognized today that while one has to understand the military, political, economic, and social elements as they developed during the period, the hard core, so to speak, of the World War, its centre in the sense of its overall cultural and civilisational impact, were the Nazi crimes, and first and foremost the genocide of the Jews which we call the Holocaust, or Shoah. The other context that I am discussing here is that of genocide – again, obviously, the Holocaust was a form of genocide. If so, the relationship between the Holocaust and other genocides or forms of genocide are crucial to the understanding of that particular tragedy, and of its specific and universal aspects.

  • ENGLISH Only Report of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chair-In-Office on Combating Anti-Semitism Rabbi Andrew Baker September 11-13, 2016
    CIO.GAL/225/16 16 February 2017 Country Visit: Norway ENGLISH only Report of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chair-in-Office on Combating Anti-Semitism Rabbi Andrew Baker September 11-13, 2016 Background Norway has a small but well-integrated Jewish community, albeit with a complicated Holocaust- era past. Unlike its Scandinavian neighbor Denmark whose citizens helped rescue the vast majority of its Jewish population from Nazi deportations or neutral Sweden whose Jews were safe from German persecution, the Norwegian puppet state actively assisted in the roundup and transfer of about a third of its 2,100 Jews to Nazi death camps.1 Fifty years would pass before a government commission was established to address the unresolved claims of Jewish victims and their heirs. One outcome of that commission was the establishment of the Center for the Studies of the Holocaust and Religious Minorities, which includes a permanent exhibition on the Holocaust in Norway and which also serves as a research center collecting data on the current state of antisemitism and other prejudices in the country. Today, there are about 1,000 Jews who are formally affiliated with the communities in Oslo and Trondheim, with perhaps another 300-1,000 unaffiliated Jews in the country.2 This current visit to Norway follows a previous country visit undertaken in June 2012. At the time of that visit there were several concerns that were voiced by leaders in the Jewish community and others that were cited in our report. At the time the community was nervous about the general lack of security at its synagogues and community buildings and reluctance on the part of authorities to address this.

  • Norway 2012 International Religious Freedom Report
    NORWAY 2012 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally respected religious freedom. The trend in the government’s respect for religious freedom did not change significantly during the year. In May the parliament passed a constitutional amendment to separate the church from the state, although some ties remain. The constitution now states that the country’s values are based on its Christian and humanist heritage. The Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELC), the state church prior to passage of the constitutional amendment, still receives some benefits not available to other religious groups. There were some reports of discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice, and prominent societal leaders took positive steps to promote religious freedom. The U.S. government discussed religious freedom with the government and engaged with a diverse set of religious groups. The embassy sponsored events on anti-Semitism and in memory of Raoul Wallenberg. The embassy also held interfaith events. Section I. Religious Demography According to Statistics Norway, the population is 5.02 million. An estimated 79 percent of the population belongs to the ELC; however, actual church attendance is low. Various Christian denominations (289,000 registered members) make up 57 percent of all registered members of religious groups outside of the ELC. Of these, the Roman Catholic Church is the largest and, because of recent immigration, has increased to an estimated 100,000 registered members (from 57,000 in 2010), while the Pentecostal Church has approximately 39,100 registered members. Membership in Muslim congregations is 112, 000 and comprises 22 percent of all members of religious groups outside of the ELC in the country.

The Impact Today The events that occurred during this time period still impact our lives today. • By the end of World War II, the balance of power had shifted away from Europe. • Germany and Japan’s search for expanded “living space” is comparable to nations fighting over borders today. • Atomic weapons pose a threat to all nations.
