The second part the mobilization of the inmates for work - delineates the evolution of the meaning of forced labor, from the organization of the arbeitseinsatz within the frame of the SS economy to the integration of the concentration camp labor force into the third Reich’s war economy from 1943. The third part - the anatomy of a concentration camp society: the example of Mauthausen's central camp - analyses the coercion system established by the guards in accordance with the structural principals of the Dachau model, the "self-management" of the detention camp and the atomization of the mass of the detainees, as well as the development, in 1944-1945, of underground organizations controlled by communists

Full textIn February 1939, about 300 000 Spanish militians and 8000 international brigades entered France by the Pyrenees-Orientales. Most of them are placed in camps. This work examines the different means of control instored by Ministry of Interior and military authorities and the various measures of exclusion taken against the most suspicious people. The first part deals with the individual and collective measures of surveillance in the camps of the Retirada. The second tellsabout the reinforcement of this system from the war declaration to the armistice of June 1940. Finally the last part questions the resumptions and disruptions of the system under 3rd republic in Vichy until the Liberation in Southern French camps. Through the story of these Spanish refugees, this thesis focuses on the modernization of police controls of foreigners registered in the National Security files of the 1930's. Through many sources of unpublished archives, from Republican origins to Vichy, the story of control, exclusion and repression of the unwanted foreigners is reconstituted in south of France and north Africa camps

Full textThis thesis aims at reflecting on the manner in which the experience of the Nazi camps is communicated and conveyed, by applying a philosophical theory of events to literary studies. The purpose of this dissertation is to turn literary criticism into a place where different disciplines meet and eventually to construct a new methodology, able to link literary theory and creation with the historical and hermeneutic current initiated by the event. This study thus focuses on the very first means of communication and apprehension of the event in order to define the nature and specificity of literary creation in a context that tends to view images and raw testimony as rhe main channels of communication. The analysis turns to the event as it enters memory, through the study of seven literary reviews (among which the famous Les Temps Modernes and Esprit) and a large corpus of literary works (by Marguerite Duras, Maurice Blanchot, Georges Perec or more recent authors like François Bon and Amélie Nothomb). This work tackles the modes of visibility and intelligibility of such a memory and develops the idea of genocide and concentration camps hermeneutics, the event being the founding dynamic principle in the process of elaboration of new aesthetics and in literature ability to dote the world with new signs and meanings. This work ultimately deals with the specific function of speech that hampers the cultural assimilation and the artistic and fictional communication of the event. This aspect of the analysis, after pointing to the problematic relationship between society and the present event, suggests the idea of a common legacy, looking onto future uses of the event

Full textThe thesis's main assumption is that the genocide perpetrated by the national-socialist germany and the concentrationary system it established is an political event. Neither purely economical nor military, culturel, ethic or religious, the genocide and the concentrationary system, that we joined in a single apparatus, take a part in each of these areas; but in its essential being, it belongs to the political field. But it is a paradoxical politic event as founded on a political strategy and ideology whose results carries to a massive collapse of the political stage in its traditionnal acception. This collapse we are trying to understand the ins and outs allowed that the concentrationnary and genocidary apparatus was accepted as well clearly as unclearly by the miscellaneous european organs. From this point of view, our work contains three parts : 1 - analysis ans theorical construction of the apparatus based on the genocidary process and the concentrationary system; 2 - analysis and interpretation of the political praxis, hitlerian and nazi praxis and also this one of the actors of the destruction distinguished in three types; executioners, victims, witnesses; at last a fast approach of the event remembrance and of the question of its posterity, i.

Full textGeneral objective: to study the influence of concentration camp hardships on family socialization and on the personalization of the descendants born after the end of the war. 4 themes are presented as follows: 1) biographical dynamics of the prisoner; 2) existence of a family sub-culture; 3) values passed on to the descendants; 4) characteristics of the descendants ‘self-image. Methodology: qualitative study of 15 families with the support of semi-directed interviews and questionnaires. Quantitative study of 60 (other) descendants with the support of questionnaires. This work shows that the passing on has not simply been produced by the direct relations between the parent and the descendant but depends especially on the level of integration of the parent into the prisoners community. The descendants have built up their social identities by being confronted with a cultural heritage, which might be passed on more or less deliberately. One notices the same phenomenon of social repetition and political passing on, but I have emphasized that the descendants who have had to interact permanently and differently with 3 experiential levels; -the calling-up of facts, memories, values associated with imprisonment; -the everyday way of life specific to the families; -the social context of the prisoners community with its emblems, its symbols, its rituals, have become aware
Audhuy, Claire. "Le théâtre dans les camps nazis : réalités, enjeux et postérité." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013STRAC029.
Full textThis PhD is the result of 3 years of research on theater in the nazi camps. It deals mainly with the plays performed and written in the German camps, and three other camps: the Therensienstadt ghetto, the Westerbork transit camp, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Depending on the specificity of each camp, the creations were official or clandestine, and either served the nazi propaganda or contributed to the prisoners’ survival and resistance to national-socialism. Those differences in the living conditions enable us to understand why artistic creation was more prolific in some places. In those camps, male and female prisoners and deportees who did or did not belong to the world of show business, chose theater as a means to express themselves as early as August 1933 with the Cirkus Conzentrazani, and also after the war, with the Kazet theater or Zebra, two concentrationary theater troupes which performed plays in the camps during the days that followed the Liberation in 1945.This work explores the information contained in many interviews ( about 30 interviews which were conducted especially for this thesis), archives ( about twenty previously unpublished plays translated for this study), and private funds ( letters, manuscripts). We wish to attempt to draw a portrait of these theatrical creations, whether they were imagined, written, performed in the camps or on tour. The initiative the prisoners took was often so remote from our traditional conception of theater that it is delicate to talk about theatrical creation or even theater. We will focus on what happened, what was at stake and the posterity of these initiatives created in an extreme environment which questions the very possibility of doing theater but also man’s survival. It was an extreme experience which should never have been
Die Vorliegende Doktorarbeit ist das Ergebnis dreijähriger Forschung über das Theater in den Konzentrationslagern des Zweiten Weltkriegs.Dabei geht es hier vor allem um Lager in Deutschland, mit drei Ausnahmen: dem Getto Theresienstadt, dem Durchgangslager Westerbork und dem Lager Auschwitz-Birkenau. Je nach Besonderheit des jeweiligen Lagers fand das künstlerische Schaffen offiziell oder im Verborgenen statt, diente der Nazipropaganda oder trug ganz im Gegenteil zum Kampf gegen den Nationalsozialismus oder zum Überleben der Gefangenen bei. Aufgrund dieser unterschiedlichen Bedingungen versteht man, warum das künstlerische Schaffen an manchen Orten ergiebiger war, an anderen sehr viel sporadischer stattfand. Die Gefangenen und Deportierten, Männer und Frauen, unabhängig davon, ob sie aus der Welt der darstellenden Künste kamen oder nicht, machten in den Lagern Theater, um sich zu äußern, von der Vorstellung 'Cirkus Conzentrazani' im August 1933 an bis zum 'Kazet Theater oder Zebra', zwei KZ-Theatertruppen, die 1945 nach der Befreiung im Lager Stücke aufführten. Die Arbeit stützt sich auf zahlreiche Zeugenaussagen (aus etwa dreißig speziell für diese Doktorarbeit geführten Interviews), auf Archivdokumente (ungefähr 20 unveröffentlichte und für diese Doktorarbeit übersetzte Stücke) und private Bestände (Korrespondenz und Manuskripte). Die vorliegende Arbeit möchte ein Bild von diesen Theaterproduktionen zeichnen, ob sie nur ausgedacht, schriftlich fixiert oder gespielt worden waren oder als solche auf Tournee gingen. Vom satirischen Kabarett bis hin zur ätzend-scharfen Revue über Neuinterpretationen von Klassikern oder autobiographische Stücke haben die in den Lagern schaffenden Künstler in vielen Stilrichtungen gearbeitet. Manchmal war das Unterfangen so weit von unseren klassischen Vorstellungen von Theater entfernt, dass es schwierig ist, von Theaterschaffen oder überhaupt von Theater zu reden. In Verbindung mit Lager hat sich das Theater neu erfunden. Das Hauptaugenmerk dieser Arbeit richtet sich auf die Fakten, Probleme und Nachwirkungen dieser Unternehmungen, die in einem extremen Umfeld entstanden sind, das die Möglichkeit von Theater überhaupt, aber auch das Überleben von Menschen generell in Frage stellt. Unternehmungen in einer unglaublichen Extremsituation. Warum sind Menschen in einem Lager schöpferisch tätig – wie und für wen?

Full textThe xx century has known an historical disaster which raises serious questions for the subject of philosophical inquiry. Actually, Auschwitz is a "caesura" between a "past" and a "future". Never before today has mankind known such a defeate. Given this defeat, it seemed at the begining that philosophy had abdicated its role because philosophical concepts were thrown back from the silence, removing from a philosophical discourse all its meaning. It is therefore incumbent upon us to return to a new philosophical critique but also to return to a philosophy of moral consciousness. It seems that it is the end of philosophy; however, never more than today it has been confronted with the exisgency of its survival. Then, how to construct a philosophical discourse which has a meaning after Auschwitz? First, we must analyse the meaning of otherness and barbarism to understand the task of philosophy. In order, to begin to reconstruct a new discourse of philosophy, we must first analyse the principal dimensions of the question of antisemitism. Then, we have discovered that the entisemitism is the metonymy of the problematic of harm as human spitefulness. It is a moral question in which humanity must think

Full textBetween 6 000 and 6 500 people were interned in thirty internment camps for nomads situated in all the metropolitan territory between october 1940 and may 1946. These people were mostly gypsies established in france for several generations, nomads and no sedentaries, homeless and itinerant people. For these people, the war was synonymous with deprivation of liberty ; it began with to assign to a place of residence ordered, the 6th april 1940, by some suspicious french authorities and it finished by internment of men, women and children in unhealty and no organized camps of which creation had been ordered, the 4th october 1940, by german authorities when in the same time they gave french authorities the management of these camps. After, german authorities seem not be worried about gypsy question in france. They weren't no more interested in these gypsies in 1943 when their deportation to auschwitz had been ordered in all the occupied countries in order to make easier their extermination. Having escaped to the horror miraculously, gypsies of france not found again their liberty at the liberation. The anxieties created by their nomadism were more important than the necessity to put a stop to an injustice made by the forces of occupation and sanctioned by the vichy government. It was only in may 1946 that the last gypsies were released in the biggest indifference. More poor than never some of them had to resign themselves to give up the nomadic way of life

Full textThis study follows the paths of over 8,700 French prisoners interned at the Mauthausen concentration camp complex opened in 1938 in Austria, by then annexed to the Reich. One issue under study is the policies of repression behind the sending of these men and women to the KL, in order to highlight what factors led to Mauthausen being chosen. Through the study of new sources, this research takes a fresh look at the distinctive features of the Mauthausen camp and at the variety of different living conditions within the camp. Particular attention given to the utilisation of prisoners to further the Reich’s war effort and to the raft of administrative procedures leads to downplaying the absurdity of a system frequently presented as irrational by survivors of that system and certain historians as well. Moreover, by focussing on personal and collective trajectories, this research reveals connections between life before concentration camp, internment, and for slightly under half, rehabilitation in postwar French society. In the late sixties, the “issue” of the gas chamber at Mauthausen raised by Olga Wormser-Migot in the first ever thesis on the Nazi concentrationary system provides the springboard for the partial transition from their eyewitness testimony to history. The aim of this rereading of both sides while also factoring in the extensive extant camp archives is to understand the concentrationary experience

It questions also two analytical categories, the archaic one of erasing names, and that of the desiring subject, as well as a number of concepts like regression, repression and the specific directions the analysis take while going through these two categories. Furthermore will be discussed the -never fully adequately describable- magnitude of the concept of trauma as consequence of the destruction of European Jewry.

Full textThe doctoral thesis analyzes the affair of the concentration camps for Jews opened up by the decree n. 5 of 30 November 1943 from the minister of the Interior of the Italian Social Republic, Guido Buffarini Guidi. By this measure the republican government entrusted the peripheral authorities of the ministry of the Interior, prefectures and police headquarters, the task of arresting and interning all the Jews present in Italy. The carrying out of the orders was influenced by the war background of two-year-period 1943-1945: by the German occupation of Italy, which followed the armistice of 8 September, the German authorities kept the RSI under a tight control. Notwithstanding the German interference into the Italian political affairs, the local authorities of Salò seemed to hold on a degree of autonomy and initiative to enforce the anti-Jewish measures decided by the government. In this situation, the concentration camps played a key role and act here below as a magnifier for the study of the “Jewish-question” in the RSI. Through the analysis of these camps the features of the state anti-Semitism of Salò can be recognized, as an extension of that one of the previous fascist regime, as well as the political dynamics that were at the bottom of the “collaboration” between Italian and German authorities can be deepened. As Denis Pechanski notices about the French case, the concentration camps are in this way “the cornerstone of the mechanism of deportation of the Jews”

Le documentaire est-il créateur de débats et d’événements, de sources de représentations et de croyances ?Donne-t-il, au contraire, au débat l’occasion de s’exprimer, limitant alors son rôle à un effet de miroir – fidèle ou non – des mémoires collectives ?Au regard de la connexité des sources (orales, visuelles et scripturales) entre l’historien et le réalisateur de documentaires, se superpose une interrogation relative à la nature du discours énoncé par le film :est-il d’ordre historique ou métahistorique ?Est-il du domaine de la connaissance ou, au contraire, s’inscrit-il dans la perspective d’un discours sur l’histoire utilisant les données historiques pour servir des enjeux du temps présent qui imposent ce dont il faut se souvenir ?
Cette approche, replaçant les représentations documentaires dans leur propre contexte mémoriel et historiographique s’enrichit d’une perspective comparatiste entre les représentations documentaires allemandes et françaises qui a l’avantage de sortir des débats et enjeux nationaux relatifs au film documentaire.

Full textThe july 6th 1942 convoy was singular in nature, taking as it did more than one thousand communist hostages, fifty jews and some twenty common law prisoners from compiegne to auschwitz. This study is divided into two parts, with the date of the convoy linking the two. The opening chapters recount the setting up and development of the hostage system established by the german military commander in france, as from august 1941. In retaliation for attacks by communist armed groups, hitler demanded a large-scale execution of hostages, which he supplemented in april 1942 by an order to deport communist, jewish and "antisocial" hostages to the east. The purpose of the july 6th 1942 convoy was to remove the communist and antisocial hostages who had been herded together in compiegne by the german military authorities. The remaining chapters of part 1 show how these retaliatory deportations were prepared, and especially how the july 6th 1942 convoy was formed. A sipo-sd order specified that these deportees were to be put under nn prisoner regime in auschwitz. Part 2 begins with the story of how the "45. 000" were transferred to auschwitz and of the particular conditions of their entry into the camp system. Chapter 2 analyses why 85% of the members of this convoy died within 6 months of arriving, while chapter 3 discusses what the chances of survival were for these french political prisoners held in the main camp used to further the final solution. In december 1942, a french resistance group was set up among the survivors. Fron spring 1943 onwards, the severity of this regime in the main camp began to ease andthe "45. 000" benefited from a series of measures which all helped to improve their chances of survival - so much so that, by 1944, there were no more deaths among the "45. 000"

Full textThe thesis attempts to shed light on French artists and artists who lived in France after the war after surviving the Nazi camps, and the life they lead after the camps and their work. It also looks at their efforts to pass on their experience of the deportation and the genocide, or on the other hand their desire to flee the themes, esthetic language and the iconography used. The triggers to the memory and the eventual mutation of choices by each person to be witness, to represent, to recollect during fifty years will also be addressed. A few rare artists had the opportunity to create in situ: we will also study the motivation, the conditions of creation and the particularities of the drawings in the camps. After 1945, between memory, revolt and resilience, the artists of this group, deported for their activities in the resistance or due to persecution and the installation of the final solution, had to lead an interior struggle against the painful reminiscences of the camps and sometimes an activist’s fight to spread their message in opposition to anti-Semite attacks and Holocaust deniers. The complexity of the transfiguration in terms of visual representations of trauma brought up doubts and reflections: transmitting without betraying, witnessing without giving up art. The painters, sculptors and engravers of this group have never really stopped defining themselves mainly as artists: the essence and the universal scope of creation, as well as the custodians of art history having placed this cathartic process on the shoulders of the artists. If the corpses, the anonymous and tortured bodies, inhabit the visual universe after the war, the artists that escaped, summoned those that disappeared and gave flesh and individuality to loved ones, represented as suffering, fighting or tender, but dignified and standing. The study also concentrates on the terms and changing forms of the reception in France of the works linked to the memory of the deportation, post-war to the fiftieth anniversary of the liberation of the camps: the distribution to the French public via individual or group exhibitions and art fairs ; the promotion concerning these issues in the literature about the exhibitions and the artists ; the press reactions, the public acquisitions and the public decorations, including the specific reception by the associations of those deported and the Jewish community especially with the creation of the French Jewish art museum

Full textIs the narrative account a literary genre? Our research answers this question, by looking at the specific field of concentration camp literature, in particular the work of Charlotte Delbo and Primo Levi, survivors and witnesses through their writing. The first part of our work centres on theoretical questions: having considered the place of the narrative account in the writing of History and the system of literature, we discuss the concept of the unspeakable and analyse the releasing effect of the act of bearing witness, and the structure of the narrative. The second part studies the collective memory of deportation: an awareness of the construction and evolution of the panorama of memory devoted to deportation is essential in order to properly understand the challenge faced by survivors who seek to bear witness. The third part offers a comparative analysis of Charlotte Delbo’s trilogy Auschwitz and after and Primo Levi’s If This is a Man. A comparison with traditional genres leads us to conclude that the narrative account should not be considered as a genre in its own right, but rather as a postural statement

Full textBased on Carlo Ginzburg’ indiciary paradigm which interlaces History and stories, archives and live words, this cross-disciplinary research on Jorge Semprun’s genre-defying work addresses the links between the Resistance and resilience, between trauma and writing. It traces the writer’s many metamorphoses and lifelong commitment, from the Spanish Civil War to the Burgundy resistance movement, from the terror of Buchenwald to the clandestinity of the Spanish Communist Party. What is implied in the aesthetic choice of literature as a means to bear witness ? How does an « act of resistance » qualify as a process of resilience ? As an offering to the departed, how resilient is Semprun’s writing in its efforts to suspend forgetfulness and denial ? Inscribed within the conceptual field of Edgar Morin’s philosophy of complexity, linking bios to graphein, this oblique and transverse approach to Semprun’s written work leads to novel findings which go beyond the aporia of witness literature and elaborate a poetics of resilience and The Resistance

In this context, the Lutetia, a Parisian luxury hotel transformed into a reception center in April 1945 often seems to summarize the efforts made by both the state and various associations to help them. Therefore, the fundamental question of the reintegration of Jewish survivors in French society was left unanswered. What became, in France, of the surviving minority of the targets of the Nazi extermination policy? How were they to find a “normal” life after losing loved ones and property, in a country whose rulers had contributed to the anti-Jewish policy of the German occupiers? This thesis intends to answer these questions by studying the public and private measures that benefited the Jewish survivors of the camps and their families. Without neglecting representations of the deportation, this research is resolutely turned towards the practices of contemporaries. In addition, it falls within a relational approach, emphasizing the interactions between public authorities and private organizations. Finally, this manuscript offers an open-ended reading of the relationship between the state and the society, from the point of view of both the population and the organizations considered. This thesis has the ambition, through the Nazi camps survivors, to contribute to a better understanding of the potential, implementation or non-application of a relief and rehabilitation aid policy to vulnerable populations victimized by trauma

Full textThe subject of this thesis deals with 16 administrative internment camps planted in the six departments of the Provence Côte d’Azur region between the liberation and December 1945. In this liberated, but economically sapped region that was still at war in its eastern parts until May 1945, we ask ourselves if administrative internment, as a tool for purification practically absent in the region’s historiography, is it disconnected from the real tensions of this territory or if, on the contrary, it crystallized them. First of all we ask ourselves about how the various texts for creating and transforming the guarded centers in the region R2 during the chaotic days of the liberation came about. In the second part there is the examination of the organization of the camps in all their aspects: looking for finance, daily life for the internees, the transport, state of health, the recruiting of the personal, and the security of the camps. In the third part a study is proposed of the population of internees as well as a sociological approach made up from a sample of 624 internees from guarded centers in Saint‐Mitre (Bouches‐du‐Rhône), in Sorgues (Vaucluse) and in Saint‐Vincent‐les‐Forts (Basses‐Alpes). With the end of the second world war, this thesis explores the dismantling of the camps and the new uses of these sites, addressing thequestion of the risks of memorials

Full textThis thesis of comparative literature aims to relate pieces inhabited by history and to question literary representations of the body in the face of the extreme hardship of confinement. The aim of this research, which unfolds in three parts, is to question human nature through the prism of writing when confronted with the traumatic experience of concentration camps and Nazi exterminations in the Second World War, by paralleling pieces, factual and fictional, which draw their ressources from both reality and fiction like interconnecting vessels. More specifically, as part of the first section we concentrate on the way the limit-experience of being manifests itself in these accounts. The confusion of identity and the dehumanization disrupt the representation of the body, thus impeaching it.This doubt fits into the language itself : how does one tell the unimaginable ? In the second section we focus on the inexpressible aspect of the event and reflect on the diversions, the displacements that literature can offer to say what, at first, seems indescribable. Imagery and symbolism create new forms of literature.This analysis allows us to develop the theme that we call organic writing, which is composed of and articulates itself through corporeity. Language and body superpose themselves in an architectural dynamic. Writing leaves a trace. Writing gives rise to new forms. Literature would therefore be the fertile soil of revival, the writing of a new human being, forever metamorphosed by the concentration camp experience
