Holocaust In Your Head Extreme Noise Terror - LP 803341460690

Intellectuals, historians, scholars, journalists, and philosophers have written much about the Holocaust. Here, for the first time, the focus is on the judgment of the eyewitness victims. What larger meaning do survivors themselves draw from their personal memories about the Holocaust? How do they relate their views to the contemporary world?Political scientist Alexander Groth, himself a Holocaust survivor and a former inhabitant of the Warsaw Ghetto, has collected 240 systematic interviews, which go far beyond the usual first-person accounts of private sufferings. The author questioned survivors about their anticipations and awareness of the Final Solution; their impression of those Germans who were active in it; and their views of fellow Jews, non-Jewish neighbors, Western Allies, the pope, and sundry political and social entities active and important during the period.Groth examines the linkages between survivor views and life experiences, personalities, Jewish roots, and demographic characteristics. The objective of this study is to arrive at a general understanding of this historic tragedy from the point of view of those who lived through it and have had the opportunity of a lifetime of mature reflection.The trove of information in this volume will be especially valuable to Holocaust scholars and leaves to posterity the significant voices of the survivors.

Deftly weaving together historical research and survivors' testimonies, The Holcaust is Gilbert's acclaimed and definitive history of the European Jews, fom Hitler's rise to power to Germany's surrender to the liberation of the prisoners of the concentration camps.

This new Seminar Study presents a straightforward, matter-of-fact analysis of the encounter between the Third Reich and the Jews. David Engel sets out to clarify the basic facts and to explore the possible reasons why 5.8 million European Jews died in its course. As with a murder investigation, he sifts the evidence relating to motives, means and opportunities for the killing of European Jewry. In the process he raises some vexatious and sharply contested questions: Why was it a German government that perpetrated the mass murder? What led that government to the conclusion that all Jews had to die? Could the murder have been prevented or its scale reduced had victims or bystanders acted differently?

The Holocaust has bequeathed to contemporary society a cultural lexicon of intensely powerful symbols, a vocabulary of remembrance that we draw on to comprehend the otherwise incomprehensible horror of the Shoah. Engagingly written and illustrated with more than forty black-and-white images, Holocaust Icons probes the history and memory of four of these symbolic relics left in the Holocaust’s wake.   Jewish studies scholar Oren Stier offers in this volume new insight into symbols and the symbol-making process, as he traces the lives and afterlives of certain remnants of the Holocaust and their ongoing impact. Stier focuses in particular on four icons: the railway cars that carried Jews to their deaths, symbolizing the mechanics of murder; the Arbeit Macht Frei (“work makes you free”) sign over the entrance to Auschwitz, pointing to the insidious logic of the camp system; the number six million that represents an approximation of the number of Jews killed as well as mass murder more generally; and the persona of Anne Frank, associated with victimization. Stier shows how and why these icons—an object, a phrase, a number, and a person—have come to stand in for the Holocaust: where they came from and how they have been used and reproduced; how they are presently at risk from a variety of threats such as commodification; and what the future holds for the memory of the Shoah.   In illuminating these icons of the Holocaust, Stier offers valuable new perspective on one of the defining events of the twentieth century. He helps readers understand not only the Holocaust but also the profound nature of historical memory itself.

Shows how oral Holocaust memories complement historical studies by confronting the human dimensions of the catastrophe

One-fourth of the Jews living in France - once considered an asylum for the politically dispossessed - were identified, rounded up, and deported to the death camps of eastern Europe during World War II. In this carefully documented, gripping account of the treatment and fate of French and foreign Jews in Marseille, Donna Ryan explores the extent to which the Vichy government participated in the German plans to exterminate them.Marseille was a major French city in the Vichy Zone that had a large Jewish population; the Italians, who sometimes thwarted French administrators, never occupied Marseille; and it was a regional office of the Commissariat General aux Questions Juives and the Union Generale des Israelites de France, which could provide documentation.

This study presents a comprehensive account of the Jews in the Crimea and the North Caucasus in the Holocaust years. The book covers the life and destruction of the Jewish population, and describes the relations between Jews and non-Jews before and during the war; the evacuation of the Jews; the German occupation and the destruction of the Jewish population; the fate of non-Ashkenazi Jews; Jewish responses; and reactions of local populations.

A collection of official and private documents traces the growth of and reveals the Jewish response to German anti-Semitism during World War II
