Abstract:The article contrasts long-suppressed details of German art seizures during the Second World War from Ukrainian state museums and Western Jewish dealers, ordered to Königsberg by Erich Koch, Gauleiter of East Prussia and Reich Commissar of Ukraine. While most of the art from Kyiv was destroyed by retreating Germans when the Red Army arrived (February 1945), here we investigate “survivors.” Initial provenance findings about the collection Koch evacuated to Weimar in February 1945 reveal some paintings from Kyiv. More, however, were seized from Dutch and French Holocaust victims by Reic

Abstract:

The outbreak of World War II marked the beginning of a tragic period in history that determined the fate of Polish Jews. From its first days, the German terror was not only remembered as a prelude to the Holocaust, but also as the beginning of the end of synagogue architecture in Poland. The iconography presented in the article draws attention to the burning synagogues and, at the same time, the end of a world that was indisputably part of the culture, art and identity of Poland before 1939.In the landscape of Poland it constituted a kind of individuality, which in the vocabulary of the Third

Abstract:

This article examines how states with a fascist past – Germany, Austria and Italy – used modernism in the visual arts to rebrand national and European culture at the Venice Biennale of Art after 1945. I argue that post-war exhibitions of modern art, including those at the Biennale, reveal a vast confrontation with Jewish absence after the Holocaust. Christian Democrats and proponents of European integration attempted to reimagine modernism without the Jewish minority that had shaped it in crucial ways. Meanwhile, living Jewish artists resisted their exclusion from the post-war interpretations

The main subject of this article is Józef Hen’s 1955 short story Samotność (Loneliness). The prototype of its protagonist is Józef Bau, and the prototype of its main theme, the volume of poetry containing the poems “born from the nightmare of the death camp”, is his 1949 volume Cień przechodnia (The passer-by’s shadow), a work interesting both in terms of literature and art (graphics). Samotność is probably the only (and at the same time peculiar) expression of the reception of the volume Cień przechodnia. Hen and Bau met in 1945. The familiarity between the two writers, with Jewish roots, see

The paper addresses the Slovak drama of the 21st century dedicated to the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the Slovak National Uprising. After the “velvet revolution” of 1989, interest in the military and insurgent theme in Slovak art as a whole declined sharply, but as early as in the 21st century playwrights and theaters of Slovakia are increasingly beginning to return to these topics. Many of these plays created in the last twenty years were written in order to actualize public discussions about the period of the Slovak Republic (1939–1945), around the mass deportation of Jews from its

Abstract:

Two years ago, German authorities conducting a routine tax investigation stumbled on the largest trove of missing artworks since the end of the Second World War. The collection of paintings and drawings was discovered in a Munich apartment owned by Cornelius Gurlitt, the late son of Hildebrand Gurlitt, one of the art dealers approved by the Nazis. It is likely that most of these artworks were plundered from German museums and Jewish collections in the period 1933-1945. The discovery triggered heated debates about the obligations of the German State and the property rights over this art collect

This story is about a kind of pilgrimage, which is connected to the course of events which occurred in Częstochowa on 22 September 1942. In the morning, the German Captain Degenhardt lined up around 8,000 Jews and commanded them to step either to the left or to the right. This efficient judge from the police force in Leipzig was rapid in his decisions and he thus settled the destinies of thousands of people. After the Polish Defensive War of 1939, the town (renamed Tschenstochau) had been occupied by Nazi Germany, and incorporated into the General Government. The Nazis marched into Częstochowa

Jewish children hidden at Christian establishments received mainly religious trauma and nutritional, sanitary, and medical neglect. Hiding with private families caused separation trauma and extreme hiding situations. Children staying at Jewish orphanages lived with a continuous fear of being deported, because these institutions were under constant supervision of the German occupiers. No Jewis

Abstract:

Abstract Holocaust historiography, by now unimaginable in its extent, deals with fragments or subtopics of the event itself. Few studies have been devoted to an effort to set the Holocaust “as a whole” within, as Amo Mayer put it, “the singular historical context in which it was conceived and executed.” Moreover, on examining those studies, one discovers that what is usually being “set in history,” what is usually being explained, is the persecution of the Jews-their expropriation, forced emigration and, ultimately, their murder. The paths of explanation differ, emphasizing variously Hitler’s will to world power; rabid eliminationist antisemitism; racism; the almost apocalyptic clash between Bolshevism and fascism; the modem bureaucratic state and economic modernization; and modernity itself; but all these theories share one characteristic: the subject of the analysis is one-dimensional-the issue of persecution or murder-and the explanation is placed linearly in German and/or European history. The Jews are thus perceived as an object, as “raw material,” and of minor importance in any explanation of the “event” as such.

Abstract:

This chapter evaluates The Jews of Czechoslovakia Vol. III (1984), which was edited by Avigdor Dagan, Gertrude Hirschler, and Lewis Weiner. This is the final volume of a remarkable undertaking. The first two volumes, published in 1968 and 1971, dealt with pre-1939 developments and set out the complex nature of Jewish tradition and life under the Habsburgs and during the twenty years of the first Czechoslovak Republic. Czechoslovak Jewry was a very heterogeneous phenomenon, divided along linguistic, religious, cultural, and political lines. Some of these divisions, such as those between the so-called ‘assimilationists’ and Zionists, are frequently mentioned in the present volume, but the overriding topic here is the Holocaust in all its aspects — Nazi policy, Jewish reactions, and the attitudes of non-Jews. It is in fact the first comprehensive one-volume treatment of the Holocaust in Czechoslovakia in any language.

Abstract It is not for an introduction to become simply another article. This is especially the case in a book like this, which is not just an assorted collection of essays, but rather grapples with a theme of crucial significance: continuity versus contingency in the origins of the Holocaust. The articles presented here range from general, philosophical discourses on what caused the Holocaust to detailed analyses of concrete situations. And needless to say, the authors do not agree among themselves-not even in the definition of the subject, much less so in their approach. But that is precisely the value of such an enterprise. It provides the reader with a sharply defined but highly varied panorama. With that said, though, I do believe that there are some issues that deserve brief comment.

It discusses the inclusion of Jewish composers in the world of Polish music by its post-1945 historians. It also examines the presence of Jewish composers in Poland's musical world before 1939 and the disappearance of these composers as shown by official publications, dictionaries, and music histories up until 1989. The chapter reviews all the composers of Jewish origin who were alive in September 1939, regardless of their attitude and relationship with Judaism. It mentions the most important composers of Jewish descent but not of Jewish faith, such as Józef Koffler, who gave up his official Jewish religious allegiance in May 1939, and Roman Palester, who was baptized Catholic as a baby.

Abstract:

Abstract It is common knowledge that history and memory are viewed as antithetical. Historical research is rightly skeptical about evidence recycled, as a purported reflection of reality, by memory. After all, historical sciences base their claims to verity on time-tested instruments of knowing and proof, a gamut ranging from source criticism to the densely aggregated fields of discourse and debate on method and epistemology. Nonetheless, historiography cannot escape the confrontation with memory, which represents a world that relativizes, and hence undermines, the claims to universal validity made by historical scholarship. This essay, then, explores the interrelationship of historiography and memory as related to an event still in search of its proper locus in historical research: the Holocaust.

Abstract:

Abstract When it is a choice between “Holocaust,” “Shoah,” “Final Solution,” “War Against the Jews,” “Auschwitz,” or some other term, what’s in a name is a matter of some importance, for each term brings with it a particular perspective and concept of action and agency, whether religious, military, ethnic, Hitlerian, social, individualistic or some other. Perhaps “Holocaust” remains the best choice for historians. Even though it implies a particular (a Jewish) perspective and is a misnomer according to its original religious meaning, nonetheless, precisely because of its ambiguous religious overtones, the word suggests a cosmic or overarching perspective that could embrace all the structures, events, agents and causalities involved in the killing authorized by the government of Germany of more than five million Jews between 1941 and 1945.

Abstract:

Abstract Auschwitz does not lend itself easily to a historical perspective.1 For most, the camp will forever be what it became: the largest and most important of the Nazi concentration camps, the most destructive and sophisticated killing machine ever developed, the place where the greatest number of Jews-close to one million-were killed during the Holocaust, and as a result, the largest cemetery in the world. No one intended this at the beginning, however, and for much of its history Auschwitz was, in Raul Hilberg’s striking phrase, “a site in search of a mission.”2 And because it took time for Auschwitz to become what it became, its history is complex, and there are different missions to explain. Looking back, our preoccupation with the camp’s ultimate significance interferes with our understanding of how the Auschwitz we know actually came to be. What I would like to do in this brief essay is to survey this history. Doing so, I think, is an aid to understanding what troubles people especially about the Nazi Holocaust-how people could do such things to other human beings.

Abstract:

This chapter provides a demography of the Jewish fugitives in Warsaw during the Holocaust, considering the Berman Archive. This archive contains the records of the Jewish National Committee (Żydowski Komitet Narodowy: ŻKN) and the personal papers of its chairman, Dr Adolf Berman. The documents from the Berman Archive that are of greatest interest to the chapter are lists of people who were receiving financial assistance from the committee. These lists contain, all told, some 7,500 individual entries, each consisting of some of the following information: name (of an individual or family group); number of people in the group; receipt number and amount received; age, or date, and place of birth; other identifying information such as occupation and place of origin; name of the responsible activist; and comments of various kinds. The interpretation of these documents requires some knowledge of the structure and function of the ŻKN and, indeed, of the whole organized effort to bring relief to Jews in hiding.
