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 collection. This article looks at the ongoing Gurlitt case from an international law perspective and discusses two different but interrelated issues. First, it traces the genealogy and extrapolates the influence of the international legal instruments that have been adopted to deal with the looting of works of art committed by the Nazis. Second, it examines the available means of dispute settlement that can lead to the “just and fair” solution of Holocaust-related cases in general and the Gurlitt case in particular. The objective of this analysis is to demonstrate that international law plays a key role in addressing and reversing the effects of the Nazi looting.

Full textAbstract:
The focal point of this paper is to analyze the relation of modern-day Serbian neo-Nazis toward capitalism. Bearing in mind the context and conditions of emerging fascism in Europe of the twentieth century, apart from the fact that it exposes the essence of the basic theme, this research may have a perspective scientific and practical significance. Namely, the fascism is only one of the many forms of capitalism rescue in periods of crisis. At the time when fascism came into the European scene, ruling bourgeoisie was threatened by a growing labor movement, by blocked possibilities of expansion of capital, and by crisis of overproduction which is, due to its essential irrationality and lack of plan, specific only for capitalism. Today, in the case of a renewed national homogenization of capital, which is risky to predict after a crisis that happened back in 2008, it is possible that resurgence of fascist and Nazi forms of advocacy of transformation of capitalism in crisis could happen. The three most significant neo-Nazi organizations in Serbia today are Srbski Obraz, Nacionalni stroj and Srbska akcija. The injunction of the first two organizations and the illegal character of the Nazi organization prevent face to face data collection, which is why the Internet is used as a primary source of information - web portals, blogs, forums and social networks.

Full textAbstract:
That the Nazis tried to claim Shakespeare as a Germanic playwright has been well documented, but recently theatre historians have claimed that their ‘success’ was rather limited. Instead, commentators have asserted that plays such as Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Merchant of Venice offended National Socialist precepts and were sidelined. This article attempts a re-evaluation and shows that the effect of the Nazi claims on Shakespeare was substantial, and the official efforts that went into realizing these in productions were considerable. It is also argued that the Nazis established a particular reading of Shakespeare, which lasted well into the 1960s and dominated the aesthetics of West German productions of his drama. Anselm Heinrich is Lecturer and Head of Theatre Studies at the University of Glasgow. He is the author of Entertainment, Education, Propaganda: Regional Theatres in Germany and Britain Between 1918 and 1945 (2007), and has co-edited a collection of essays on Ruskin, the Theatre, and Victorian Visual Culture (2009).

Abstract:This article traces the provenance and migration of a painting by Jan van Goyen (1595–1656), River Landscape with a Swineherd, from the Jacques Goudstikker Collection and now in Gdańsk Muzeum Narodowe. After the “red-flag sale” of the Goudstikker Collection in July 1940 to German banker Alois Miedl, and then to Hermann Göring, this painting—after its sale on Berlin’s Lange Auction in December 1940 to Hitler’s agent Almas-Dietrich—was returned to Miedl-Goudstikker in Amsterdam. Miedl then sold it (with two other Dutch paintings) to the Nazi Gauleiter of Danzig, Albert Forster, among many wartime Dutch acquisitions for the Municipal Museum (Stadtmuseum). Evacuated to Thuringia and captured by a Soviet trophy brigade, it thus avoided postwar Dutch claims. Returned to Poland from the Hermitage in 1956, it was exhibited in the Netherlands and the United States (despite its Goudstikker label). Tracing its wartime and postwar odyssey highlights the transparent provenance research needed for Nazi-era acquisitions, especially in former National Socialist (NS) Germanized museums in countries such as Poland, where viable claims procedures for Holocaust victims and heirs are still lacking. This example of many “missing” Dutch paintings sold to NS-era German museums in cities that became part of postwar Poland, raises several important issues deserving attention in provenance research for still-displaced Nazi-looted art.

Abstract: Introduction and aim: A combination of Niemann-Pick- and Hallervorden-Spatz diseases led to the death of a 17-year-old boy in 1994. Genetic counseling necessitated further investigations in 2017. Meanwhile, the nomenclature of Hallervorden-Spatz disease has been abandoned. The author analyze the reasons for this change. Method: Professional activities of Hallervorden and Spatz during and after the Nazi euthanasia program are presented. Also, the scientific efforts that led to the discovery of the genetic background of the disease and ultimately to its new name are highlighted. Results: In nazi Germany, a large number of mentally disabled were killed. The majority of pediatric-brains were transferred to the “Kaiser Wilhelm Institut für Hirnforschung”, led by Hugo Spatz, and was included in the “Hallervorden collection”. Investigations exploring the connections between eponyms and nazi-activites started in the mid-1980s. This process was accelerated by the discovery of genetic alterations underlying disease entities, including neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). NBIA has several subtypes, with the first being the disease described by Hallervorden and Spatz, and recently renamed to pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN). The case examined by the authors belongs to the third subtype, to the mitochondrial protein-associated neurodegeneration (MPAN). Conclusion: The works of the two noted neuropathologists strongly conflict with current ethical principles of human research studies. The buried “Hallervorden collection” in the Munich Waldfriedhof cemetery, and the memorial column erected there will remain a sad reminder of a time when a political system profoundly distorted the judgement of even academic physicians.

While interned by the Nazis in Belgium and Bavaria during World War II, the little-known Surinamese artist Josef Nassy (1904–76) created a series of paintings and drawings documenting his experiences and those of other black prisoners. Nassy’s artworks uniquely register the presence of Caribbean, African, and African American prisoners in the Nazi camp system. While the Nassy Collection at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum cannot render transparent a wartime experience that has gone largely unrecorded, it illustrates how shifting from a textual to a visual lens can enable an unremembered history to enter our field of vision, thereby generating an alternative wartime narrative. After tracing Nassy’s family history in Suriname and the conditions of his European incarceration, this essay discusses two paintings that demonstrate the significance of visual art in the context of black civilian internment—for both the artist-prisoner and the researcher.

Full textAbstract:
In the spring of 2016, a private organization installed a sign at a publicly owned park in La Crescenta, California, that read “Willkommen zum Hindenburg Park” (Welcome to Hindenburg Park). Public protests soon drew attention to the fact that during the 1930s and '40s, the park, then owned and operated by the German-American League, was the site of frequent Nazi rallies, during which it was awash in swastika flags. The sign was quickly removed. It has gone unnoticed, however, that the German-American League—which signed its invitation to the opening of the park in 1934 “mit deutschem Gruss” (with German greeting, i.e., the giving of the fascist salute accompanied by the shouting of “Heil Hitler!”)—is still in existence today. In 2005, on the occasion of its one-hundredth anniversary, the German-American League published a booklet that whitewashes its Nazi past by omission and misrepresentation. The purpose of this article is to shed light on that Nazi past, based mainly on documents from the Jewish Federation Council of Greater Los Angeles, Community Relations Committee Collection, and based as well on film footage of the League's 1936 German Day celebration at the park.

Full textAbstract:
My intention in conducting this research endeavor is to satisfy the requirements of earning a Master of Art degree in the Department of History at the University of Central Florida. My research aim has been to examine literature written from the 1930's through 2006 which chronicles the lives of Jewish and Gentile German men, women, and children living under Nazism during the years 1933-1945. I was particularly interested and hopeful in discovering the various ways in which young German females were affected by the introduction and spread of Nazi ideology. My main goal was to sort through the features of everyday life to extricate the often subtle ways Germans rebuffed conformity to Nazism. And as the research commenced, it became increasingly necessary to acknowledge and distinguish the ongoing historical debate about what aspects of non-conformity are acceptably considered "resistance" among contemporary historians also analyzing this period. The original research questions I hoped to address and discuss were firstly these; Upon the arrival of Nazism on the heels of the Weimar Republic, how was Nazism received by German citizens; secondly, once Nazism gathered a contingent of strong support, what avenues existed for those opposed to Nazism?; and thirdly, in what ways did opposition, resistance, and non-conformance to Nazism manifest itself? This examination focused singly on efforts and motivations of German citizens within Germany, to illuminate reactions and actions of women and children; whether Jewish, Protestant, or Catholic because I feel their stories are often over-looked as being insignificant. This study further recognizes the contributions and great courage which manifest when faced with Hitler's totalitarian regime.<br>M.A.<br>Department of History<br>Arts and Humanities<br>History

Full textAbstract:
The points of departure in this thesis are the reciprocal relationship between the memories of human rights violations, the application of the relevant law and the understanding of what is criminal, as well as the recent trend in German courts to belatedly try low-profile Nazi-criminals. To explore these phenomena further, a critical discourse analysis incorporating historical elements is conducted on the 2015 trial of “the bookkeeper of Auschwitz” Oskar Gröning and the related media-reports. By identifying and investigating the expression of collective memory therein, a shift is revealed in that low-level participation in the Holocaust is no longer remembered as a moral infringement exclusively, but accepted as a criminal act for which a perpetrator ought to be held liable. Alongside Holocaust-focused collective memory, there are further tendencies toward a distinct memory of the prolonged failure of the German judiciary. It was thus found that long-term societal change can prevail against a deeply ingrained culture of impunity.

Full textAbstract:
Alors qu’un vaste corpus de documents existe en français concernant la Shoah en général et Auschwitz en particulier, celui relatif aux sites de l’Action Reinhard – Sobibor, Chelmno, Belzec, et surtout Treblinka - est relativement peu abondant. Un des obstacles majeurs à leur étude est l’absence - voulue par les nazis - des traces « visibles » de leur existence. Rasés et transformés en exploitations agricoles dès la fin 1943, aucun ne fut libéré par une quelconque armée. En France, Treblinka reste un camp encore largement méconnu. De tous les centres de mise à mort de l’opération Reinhard, ce fut pourtant celui où l’assassinat des Juifs fut le plus « efficace » (selon les responsables du système) - près d’un million victimes en 400 jours - et celui où les survivants furent (relativement) les plus nombreux : entre 50 et 70 en 1945. Il représente le cas paradigmatique d’une « impossibilité de rendre compte ». Décrire et réinscrire Treblinka dans l’Histoire, malgré tous ces écueils, c’est aussi déjouer les pronostics mémoriels du projet nazi tout en incitant l’historien à réfléchir sur les méthodes de son champ de recherche et sur le sens de son travail<br>If a vast array of historical and literary material concerning WWII and the Holocaust is available in French, accounts concerning Aktion Reinhard in Poland, (Sobibor, Belzec, and Treblinka Camps) are relatively scarce. One of the major causes for this scarcity is the fact that the Nazis purposely destroyed almost all traces of their occurrence. Before the end of 1943, these sites were dismantled and turned into fake farms. None of these places was “liberated” by any military force.In France, Treblinka remains quite unknown. So is the fact that it was the most “successful” unit of the Aktion Reinhard death machinery. Close to a million Jews were assassinated there during the 400 days that it operated. It was also there that the number of survivors was relatively important: 50 to 70 were alive in 1945. It can be viewed as the paradigmatic case of words’ inability to express such knowledge. Despite all these difficulties, the description and reinsciption in History of Treblinka’s reality addresses a double necessity: to defeat the Nazis’ predictions regarding the erasure of their crimes and to confront the Historian with the relevance of his methods and the meaning of his endeavor

Guyader, Frédérique. "Stratégies politiques et identitaires d'une mise en tourisme : l'exemple de Lijiang (Yunnan- Chine)." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020EHES0142.
Full textAbstract:
Située à 2400 m d’altitude, au Nord-Ouest de la province orientale du Yunnan, la ville de Lijiang se trouve à la limite du plateau tibétain. À la suite du tremblement de terre de 1996 et à l'inscription de la partie ancienne de Lijiang au Patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, le tourisme ethnique s’est construit autour de Lijiang, « la ville où vivent les Naxi ». Cette appellation désignait à l’époque une réalité démographique. Majoritaires en 1990, les Naxi représentent en 2012, 19,33% de la population lijiangaise. Le développement de l'industrie touristique et ses profits potentiels ont occasionné au fil des années une forte migration de personnes issues d'autres groupes minoritaires et de nombreux Han, désormais majoritaires à Lijiang. La politique d'ouverture initiée par la Chine à partir de 1980 a favorisé l'émergence d'un tourisme culturel et l'inscription de la vieille ville de Lijiang au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco en 1996 a accéléré la mise en place d'une politique culturelle et la fréquentation touristique exponentielle jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Parallèlement à ses mesures, la réaffirmation d’un état chinois multinational dans les années 1980, avec la création des minorités qui a induit un rapport de domination avec les Han. Cela a favorisé l'ancrage d'une vision hiérarchisée des populations annexées au cours des siècles au sein de représentations communément partagées. Ces dernières sont également présentes dans les discours officiels et les différentes mises en scène de la culture locale. Dans le cadre de sa mise en scène, la culture naxi a peu à peu été remaniée, remodelée à la fois par les acteurs nationaux et locaux. La question centrale de la gouvernance concerne entre autres les enjeux économiques et culturels (qui bénéficient des recettes du tourisme ? Est-ce les populations locales ou des investisseurs nationaux, étrangers ? qui sont les acteurs de la préservation des ressources culturelles ?). En séjournant à Lijiang et ses alentours, j'ai observé différents niveaux de mise en tourisme : Lijiang, épicentre du tourisme, Shuhe, l'un de ses villages connexes, et dans la région de Baoshan, économiquement pauvre et sans développement touristique majeur. L’étude comparative sur ces trois sites connaissant un développement touristique différent avait pour but d'appréhender le rôle structurant du tourisme sur la culture naxi. Extraites d'éléments de la culture des Naxi, leurs mises en scène cherchent à moderniser cette culture et le tourisme apparaît comme le principal vecteur pour y arriver. Ces faits constituent un élément hiérarchisant partagé par les Naxi, car la distinction ruralité/urbanité devient l’écho d’une dualité « arriéré » /moderne. Lijiang étant l’épicentre de la modernisation, plus on s’en éloigne, et plus la qualification « arriérée » apparaît. La spectacularisation de la culture des Naxi montre également une logique qui intègre les valeurs internationales (Unesco, Icomos) et résume la culture locale à des pratiques publiques éloignées de la sphère privée. La mise en scène de Lijiang qui associe préservation et marchandisation est créée par le gouvernement national et les Naxi. Ces derniers, qui vivent essentiellement de l'industrie touristique et de ses retombées économiques, sont également les acteurs de la métamorphose identitaire. Ils œuvrent pour faire connaître à travers le monde leur ville et leur culture. Cette mise en lumière leur octroie une marge de manœuvre relative dans la mise en place de mesures pour protéger leur culture. Plus concrètement, cela leur permet d’acquérir le soutien de la reconnaissance internationale dans leurs négociations avec les instances gouvernementales et, en même temps, de s’enorgueillir d’une culture officiellement préservée tout en étant au service de l’industrie<br>Located at an altitude of 2,400 m, in the northwest of the eastern province of Yunnan, Lijiang is on the border of the Tibetan plateau. Following the 1996 earthquake and the listing of the old part of Lijiang as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, ethnic tourism was built around Lijiang, "the city where the Naxi live". At the time, this name designated an ethnic reality. The Naxi were in the majority in 1990, but by 2012 they represented 19.33% of the Lijiang population. The development of the tourism industry and its potential profits has led over the years to a strong migration of people from other minority groups and many Han people, who are now the majority in Lijiang. The policy of openness initiated by China in 1980 has encouraged the emergence of cultural tourism and the inscription of the old city of Lijiang on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996 has accelerated the implementation of a cultural policy and the exponential tourist attendance until today. Parallel to these measures, the reaffirmation of a multinational Chinese state in the 1980s, with the creation of minorities, led to a relationship of domination with the Han. This has favored the anchoring of a hierarchical vision of the populations annexed over the centuries within commonly shared representations. These representations are also present in official speeches and in various stages of local culture.As part of its staging, the Naxi culture was gradually reshaped by both national and local actors. The central question of governance concerns, among other things, economic and cultural issues (who benefits from tourism revenue? Is it the local populations or national or foreign investors? Who are the actors in the preservation of cultural resources?). While staying in Lijiang and its surroundings, I observed different levels of tourism development: Lijiang, the epicenter of tourism, Shuhe, one of its related villages, and in the region of Baoshan, economically poor and without major tourism development. The comparative study of these three sites with different tourism development was aimed at understanding the structuring role of tourism on the Naxi culture. Extracted from elements of the Naxi culture, their staging seeks to modernize this culture and tourism appears to be the main vector to achieve this. These facts constitute a hierarchical element shared by the Naxi, because the rural/urban distinction becomes the echo of a "backward" / modern duality. As Lijiang is the epicenter of modernization, the further one goes from it, the more the qualification "backward" appears. The spectacularization of the Naxi culture also shows a logic that integrates international values (Unesco, Icomos) and sums up local culture to public practices far from the private sphere.Lijiang’s staging, which combines preservation and commodification, is created by the national government and the Naxi. The Naxi, who live essentially from the tourist industry and its economic spin-offs, are also the actors of the identity metamorphosis. They work to make their city and their culture known throughout the world. This exposure gives them relative leeway in the implemention of measures to protect their culture. More concretely, it allows them to gain the support of international recognition in their negotiations with government authorities and, at the same time, to take pride in an officially preserved culture while serving the industry

<p>The study follows the tradition of Cultural Studies, with a special interest in visual culture, and examines how history is being represented in different media, how these representations are interpreted by the audience, and how the outcome functions in the individual knowledge-building about this particular era. Here the notion of what is often called a collective, or cultural, memory, is important; both as a vehicle for a dominant discourse on memory and as a counterpart to individual memory, which might be more or less in agreement or opposition with the dominant. A central theme is the examination of how elements of the mythical enters a historical narrative, how they affect this, and how this is being interpreted by the audience. The media texts examined are mostly films (fiction and docudramas as well as documentaries) and computer games, although there are also some examples from role-playing games and alternative popular music. The audience part of the study consists of 11 in-depth interviews and a number of additional informants.</p><p>I propose that the media material indicates a convergence between myth in the traditional, religiously connected sense, and in the secularized sense of Roland Barthes. The former is made visible by the persistent use of elements of a clearly metaphysical nature, while the latter is made clear through the almost omnipresent authoritarian character of the media presentations. The material in its entirety clearly shows the importance of transmediality, transmedia storytelling and knowledge communities (cf Henry Jenkins) within the context. The audience examined expresses a highly critical attitude towards what is considered to be a “mainstream” media representation of World War II and Nazi Germany that – according to them – transforms the gruesome historical reality into cheap thrills and entertainment. Thus, it becomes fundamentally problematic to look upon the media representations of the theme as an expression of collective memory.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Au crépuscule d'une expérience génocidaire comme la catastrophe arménienne ou la Shoah, les témoins font face à la gageure d'une reconstruction, tant physique que morale, dans une société humaine aux contours éthiques brisés : tout sens et tout repère semblent ruinés. Chacun affronte un ardu retour à l'humanité et à une identité niée par les bourreaux. Cet itinéraire de reconstruction, qui mène de l'inhumain à l'humain, met en évidence une posture difficile entre parole et silence, qui frappent sur l'écueil de l'indicible. Du caractère indicible de l'expérience génocidaire découle le dilemme invalidant vécu par le témoin tiraillé entre une mémoire sclérosante et un nécessaire devoir de mémoire. L'indicibilité du crime masque plutôt une incommunicabilité : l'expérience est tellement hors de toute limité qu'elle semble annihiler toute possibilité de compréhension d'un tiers. Les survivants optent alors pour une échappatoire scripturaire qui n'est pas sans entraîner une refondation des concepts de réception, et une tentative ou tentation de poser les bases d'une esthétique littéraire inédite, propre aux témoignages issus de génocide, par delà les paradoxes, la littérature servant la vérité. Les rescapés arméniens, confrontés à la négation de la catastrophe, refusent ce recours à la littérature et condamnent malgré eux leurs témoignages à la confidentialité. Seule la culture et le jeu de ses références, lien entre le déporté et le tiers récepteur, parvient à dépasser la barrière éthique que s'imposent les survivants arméniens. La culture, mise à mal et révélée par les génocides, s'avère une force à même de sublimer l'existence la plus abjecte et l'écriture la plus improbable<br>At the end of a genocidal experience like the armenian catastrophe or the holocaust, witnesses have to reconstruct themselves, both physically and morally, in a society that has lost its ethical foundations: all meanings or references seem ruined. each deportee has to find a way to get his humanity and his identity (denied by his torturers) back. this reconstruction, from inhuman to human, shows a difficult behaviour between speaking and silence, and bring to the fore the inexpressible nature of the genocidal experience. witnesses experience moreover the dilemma between a disabling memory and an essential obligation to remember. it appears that the crime is more unreportable than indescribable: the experience is so extreme that it seems to annihilate all chance of understanding from a third party. then, the survivors choose to write down their experiences, modifying receipt concepts, and trying to build the new foundations of an original literary esthetics, in which art, imagination and truth can coexist. the armenian survivors, having to deal with the denial of the turkish genocide, refuse to write literary testimony and seem to censure their own works and limit, in spite of themselves, the impact they should encounter. only culture and its references, last link between the deportee and a third party, manages to go beyond the ethical limit that armenian survivors assert themselves. culture, subjected to doubt and revealed because of genocides, is confirmed as a power able to sublimate the most awful existence and the most unlikely writing

Full textAbstract:
L'ambition des pays Baltes, dés leur retour à l'indépendance, fut de rechercher à s'intégrer le plus possible dans l'architecture européenne de sécurité et de défense (essentiellement l'Otan et l'UE) et cela afin d'échapper aux tentations belliqueuses d'une Russie hostile à leur diplomatie atlantique. Leur dénominateur commun est moins de partager une identité similaire autour d'un label "balte" que d'avoir un positionnement géostratégique contraignant et d'avoir utilisé une identité opportunément construite pour esquiver cette contrainte. En effet, parce qu'ils prirent conscience de leurs chances minimes de s'insérer dans l'OTAN en mettant en avant des arguments de type militaire, ils développèrent avec succés une rhétorique formatée autour d'un raisonnement lié à leur identité occidentale, camouflant leur stratégie initiale. Grâce à l'outil identitaire, les pays Baltes ont contourné leur déficit de puissance et intégré l'UE et l'OTAN sans pour autant que cela ne provoque le casus belli tant redouté de la Russie.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse propose d’éclairer les trajectoires et les œuvres d’artistes survivants des camps nazis, français ou installés en France après la guerre, leur tentative de transmettre l’expérience de la déportation et du génocide ou au contraire leur volonté de fuir ces thématiques, les langages plastiques et l’iconographie empruntés, les déclencheurs mémoriels et les éventuelles mutations des choix de chacun pour témoigner, représenter, remémorer durant cinquante ans. Quelques rares artistes ont eu l’opportunité de créer in situ : nous étudions également les motivations, les conditions de création et les spécificités de ces dessins des camps. Après 1945, entre mémoire, révolte et résilience, les artistes de ce corpus, déportés pour faits de résistance ou au titre des persécutions et de la mise en œuvre de la solution finale, ont dû mener une lutte intérieure contre les douloureuses réminiscences des camps et parfois un combat militant pour diffuser leur message face aux offensives antisémites et négationnistes. La complexité de la transfiguration en termes plastiques du traumatisme a suscité doutes et réflexions : transmettre sans trahir, témoigner sans renoncer à l’art. Les peintres, sculpteurs et graveurs de ce corpus n’ont en en effet jamais cessé de se définir prioritairement comme des artistes : l’essence et la portée universelle de la création, ainsi que les références tutélaires de l’histoire de l’art ont épaulé les artistes dans ce processus cathartique. Si les cadavres, corps anonymes et suppliciés, peuplent l’univers visuel de l’après-guerre, les artistes rescapés convoquent les disparus et réinsufflent chair et individualité aux êtres aimés, figurés souffrants, combattants ou tendres, mais dignes et debout. Notre objet d’étude se concentre également sur les modalités et les formes évolutives de la rencontre entre ces œuvres liées à la mémoire de la déportation et la France, de l’après-guerre aux commémorations du cinquantième anniversaire de la libération des camps : la diffusion auprès du public français à l’occasion d’expositions individuelles, collectives ou de salons ; la communication autour de ces problématiques dans les catalogues, les cartons d’expositions et les publications ; la réception des œuvres à travers la presse, les acquisitions publiques et les décorations honorifiques, ainsi que l’accueil spécifique des associations de déportés et de la communauté juive avec notamment la création du premier Musée d’art juif français<br>The 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 textAbstract:
This chapter evaluates Otto Dov Kulka's German Jews in the Era of the “Final Solution”: Essays on Jewish and Universal History (2020). Readers interested in the significance of antisemitism in modern European history, the centrality of antisemitism in Nazi ideology, the reaction of German Jews to Nazi persecution, and the influence of the German public's attitudes toward Jews on Nazi policies will find this collection a rich source of information. Kulka shows that key organizations of German Jewry such as the Reichsvertretung and its successor, the Reichsvereinigung, managed to preserve their essential functions under the Nazis; they did not become tools of the regime. In general, German Jews were able to resist the process known as coordination (Gleichschaltung). If anything, they became more dedicated to their own organizations and more democratic as persecution increased. The collection also includes Kulka's own experience of miraculous survival in the family camp at Auschwitz and his return visit to Auschwitz in 1978.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the Nazis' confiscation of Wanda Landowska's musical collection and how it was partly recovered after the war. It recounts Landowska's career before the Germans invaded France in May 1940 and describes her as an internationally renowned harpsichord and piano soloist and an accomplished scholar, writer, teacher, and composer. It also highlights Landowska's extensive music library, which included manuscripts, rare printed music, books, and an impressive antique musical instrument collection. The chapter recounts how the Nazis plundered Landowski's musical treasures in September 1940 after Landowska fled her home and music school at 88 rue de Pontoise, Saint-Leu-la-Forêt. It describes Landowska's library that contained approximately 10,000 objects, which reflected Landowska's intellectual and aesthetic sensibilities, her eclectic interests, and to some extent her heritage.

Full textAbstract:
In at least 26 instances of “non-Aryan” neuroscientist dismissal, their replacements were involved in racial hygiene consequences such as aiding the vehement forced sterilization program, euthanasia of neuropsychiatric patients, or collection of brain tissue and research on these expendable victims. The hardest-hit departments were in the major German cities, especially Berlin, where both the university and multiple smaller hospitals and institutes were decapitated and where Jews had been directors prior to the Nazi power seizure. University neurology departments in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Bonn, Heidelberg, and Breslau were also heavily incapacitated by dismissals. Those who took over the positions of dismissed neuroscientists were often members of not only the Nazi party, but multiple subsidiary agencies, such as the SS, SA, and others, likely reflecting deeper commitment to Nazi ideology. Six known “Aryan” neuroscientists emigrated from Germany, reflecting the fact that support of the regime was neither mandatory, nor the only solution.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, Schütte analyses the work that transformed Sebald’s career. The Emigrants is a collection of four stories which reflect on the suffering of the victims of Nazi terror. They explore the tragic phenomenon of ‘survivor syndrome’, where victims repress the burden of escaping persecution before being compelled to end their lives. Two of the narratives, Dr Henry Selwyn and Paul Bereyter, end in forms of redemptive suicide as the characters are troubled by long-repressed memories and feelings of collective responsibility for the Holocaust. Reflecting on the title, Schütte argues that Sebald, thinly cloaked as the narrator, believed the loss of one’s homeland as a result of forced migration to be a paradigmatic experience of modern life.

This chapter showcases the accounts of child survivors in Nazi-occupied Poland, as written in The Last Eyewitnesses. The accounts all follow a similar format, beginning with a discussion of pre-war family background, continuing with harrowing tales of wartime survival, and concluding with a section on the survivor’s experiences in post-war Poland. The consistent format makes the collection a particularly useful tool for scholarly analysis as well as for classroom use. The testimonies depict the life of Jewish children from all regions of inter-war Poland, both urban and rural, in a wide variety of settings in Nazi-occupied Poland: in hiding, in ghettos, in the camps, in the forests. In addition, a full range of family backgrounds is represented, from those who came from assimilated families and had been raised in a Polish milieu to those from Yiddish-speaking Orthodox backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing of terror menace in recent years led the international community to enhance the efforts to minimize threats to people in everyday life by developing devices, techniques, and procedures targeted to improve the collective security. In this framework the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) developed a new device to improve CBRNe resilience, the Neutron Active Interrogation system (NAI). It has been conceived and optimized to identify transuranic-based Radioactive Dispersal Devices potentially hidden in packages, envisaging its utilization in field applications. NAI is based on the detection of neutrons from induced fission on small amount, of the order of a few grams, of fissile material. The device exploits a portable neutron generator based on d-t fusion reaction, a polyethylene structure for reducing the neutron energy in order to maximize the fission cross-section, and an array of 3He proportional counters. Fissile material detection is made using the Differential Die-Away time Analysis (DDAA), an active neutron technique based on the difference among the die-away times of fast interrogation neutrons and prompt fission neutrons induced by thermal neutrons in the moderating system. The original experimental setup was tested on the field during the live demo open to the public at the EDEN Project Demonstration occurred in September 2015 at ENEA Frascati Research Centre in Rome. Since then, the setup has been modified to improve the device detection capabilities. NAI performances have been tested within different environmental conditions, e.g. open field geometry vs. bunker-like geometry, to study the effects of scattering phenomena. The optimized configuration here presented is transportable, lightweight, and able to detect 2 grams of 235U contained in a salt of depleted uranium in real time, independently from the measurement environmental conditions.

Full textAbstract:
At COVRA spatial dose rate distribution measurements were performed in December 2004 and December 2006 in the interim L/ILW storage building (LOG). This storage facility consists out of four large storage halls (height * width * depth; 7m * 40m * 70m) each with a volume of about 20000 m3 (see photo 1). The scope of this study is to investigate the benefits of the waste storage strategy (see figure 1) and procedures for minimization of the dose to the workers and the public. The main aim of the measurements in 2004 was: - to validate the applied L/ILW storage strategy; - to examine, if spatial collected data can be used to detect unforeseen differences in radiation level. The results of these measurements of spatial dose showed a number of unforeseen hotspots at different locations, so that it could be concluded that the applied storage strategy and procedures has to be improved. Further the dose rate at the height of 6 m, mainly responsible for the sky-shine dose rate, being an important part of the dose rate to the public at the site boundary, has to be reduced by more shielding (1). In December 2006 a second serial of spatial radiological and non-radiological data have been collected. The applied nondestructive INDSS-R (INDoor Survey System-Radiation) method has been improved, so that the following 3-dimensional data could be collected between 0.5 m and 5.5 m: - dose rate (by pressurized ionisation chamber). - nuclide depended gamma photon flux (3 * 3 NaI). - temperature and relative humidity. These last two non-radiological parameters were measured to verify the storage conditions of the waste. The main aim of these 3 dimensional collection was to verify the second stated aim of 2004.
