Full textThis thesis begins with noticing that pictorial representations (e.g. drawings or paintings etc.) in nazi concentration camps have been made by some subjets while imprisonment, in a massive traumatism, usually thinked as a non-representable situation. From a three drawers and drawings study, imcompletely by Andre Green’s applied psychoanalysis method, reflexion can occur with the hypothesis of a dissociated physical and psychic self-preservation in that context. To achieve this goal, historical nazi camps differed representations, massive traumatism and creation, are detailed in a psychoanalytic viewpoint with Freud, Ferenczi, Winnicott, Roussillon, Green, Bertrand, Zaltzman, Cerf de Duzeele, Waintrater and Cupa as main authors. Results show the existence of an intermediate space that enabled these subjets to keep a specific representational activity. It’s mainly a representation work of the camp overreality in a psychic self-preservation way. This work is an internal and external connection work, in a culture and filiation link, that struggles against drive defusion. Eternity and omnipotent fantasy, libidinal coexcitation underly drawings and pictorial activity. They interrogate about a possible sublimation

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interviews ( about 30 interviews which were conducted especially for this thesis), archives ( about twenty previously unpublished plays translated for this study), and private funds ( letters, manuscripts).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 textNo study has been as yet conducted about the homecoming and the psychological after-effects of French Resistance fighters deported to Nazi concentration camps. This study focuses on the past good moments, difficulties and coping strategies, as well as the current PTSD symptoms, of a sample of 36 men and 19 women using a semi-structured interview and a questionnaire. Coping with homecoming difficulties, more frequent than goods moments, is done preferentially through problem-oriented strategies. Moreover, most of the participants present current psychological after-effects, among which the repetition syndrome prevails. Thus, both the interest of long-term follow-up, post-event awareness and problem-oriented coping as well as the importance of militant commitment and transmission in the integration of deportation as a positive identity component, are enhanced

Full textThe Nazis arranged an exhibition of "degenerate" art (Entartete Kunst), shown in Munich in 1937 to insult and degrade artists who are recognized today as some of the most talented artists of the twentieth century. The success of the exhibition affected each artist in a different manner. Many fled Germany and ventured to the United States while others unwilling to leave their homeland suppressed their creative impulses for a life of fear and psychological torture in Germany. The horrific and irreversible effects on the German artists and culture can only be adequately discussed in the context of the time period preceding the exhibition. The movement toward abstraction and expression in art clashed with the rise of Nazi aesthetics to culminate in the exhibition of "degenerate" art. The lives of three artists Ernst Barlach, Max Beckmann and Oskar Schlemmer are detailed in this paper

Full textThis Ph.D. thesis focuses on the history of relief and rehabilitation aid to Jewish survivors of Nazi camps in France in the immediate aftermath of WWII. Until now, historiography has been mainly concerned with capturing the return of the deportees. 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 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

Far Right Milieus and Democratic Society in Brandenburg – Results and Perspectives“) held in Potsdam in May 2009. At this conference, several scholars held lectures and were commented by practitioners. The contributions to the book discuss different aspects of the far right movements and its praxis in Brandenburg and beyond, and they introduce and analyze the reactions and counter-activities of the state as well as the civil society. Thus, it becomes obvious: Right wing extremism is still a challenge for democratic society in Brandenburg, but this society has also developed multiple and effective strategies to react.

Full textEurope in the twentieth century witnessed the large-scale displacement and mass murder of civilian populations because of their ethnic or national identity. Genocide is the ultimate expression of this form of integral nationalism. As a result of the Second World War, the term "genocide" was introduced to describe the victimization of nations, and became codified in international law and agreements. The end of the century saw the introduction of a new term: "ethnic cleansing". This term was used to signify something less than the total physical annihilation of a people in the Balkans wars, in contrast to the extermination campaign of the Nazis in World War Two, or the Turks following World War One. This work looks at both campaigns, the Nazis against the Jews and the Serbs against the Bosnians, to argue, however, that ethnic cleansing is genocide. While much of the debate of the 1990s focuses on body counts to justify the distinction between the two, a careful analysis of the original work on genocide and the UN Agreement which outlaws such phenomenon reveal that this "body count" notion is neither correct nor justifiable. Similarly, a look at these two cases reveals act of genocide developed gradually, rather than as part of pre-existing master plans.
