Auschwitz

Le 27 janvier 1945, les soldats de l'Armée rouge entrent dans l'immense complexe d'Auschwitz. Le 18 octobre 2002, les ministres européens de l'Education, réunis au Conseil de l'Europe, décident d'établir dans les établissements scolaires des 48 pays signataires de la Convention culturelle européenne, une journée à " la mémoire de l'Holocauste et de la prévention des crimes contre l'humanité ". La plupart des pays - dont la France - ont choisi la date anniversaire de la libération des camps d'Auschwitz. Le nom d'Auschwitz s'est imposé à la conscience universelle comme le symbole de la Shoah et comme celui du mal absolu. Parce que le devoir de mémoire est une coquille vide s'il ne s'accompagne pas du devoir de connaître, cet ouvrage, qui rassemble les articles publiés dans L'Histoire par les plus grands spécialistes - français et étrangers -, présente et analyse les différentes étapes du génocide des Juifs, en s'arrêtant sur les mécanismes de l'extermination, le rôle des bourreaux, celui des complices, celui des spectateurs, et enfin sur la construction de la mémoire du génocide.

Auschwitz Explained to My Child

How does one broach with a child or young adult a subject like the Holocaust, the full magnitude and horror of which are difficult even for many adults to comprehend? This book, in conversational format, offers an ideal way to present this difficult subject to a young audience. At the book's opening, the author and her daughter Mathilde meet Berthe, a friend of the author's, on the beach, where they see the number that was tattooed on Berthe's arm at Auschwitz. The book, following Wieviorka's answers to her daughter's nearly eighty questions, provides a concise yet unsentimental and unsparing history lesson that explains Hitler's rise to power and the rise of anti-Semitism, the creation of ghettos and concentration camps (not only Auschwitz), the genocide of the Jews, the "Final Solution," Jewish and other resistance, and the guilt of the Germans.

Thinking about the Holocaust

From the still-unsettling perspective of half a century, 13 contributors evaluate Holocaust fallout from four vantage points: through historical writings, literature, and cinema; in relation to the Zionist movement and the state of Israel; and its impact on American Jewish life, and on European Jewry in the postwar period. The incisive articles result from meetings at Indiana University in 1995. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Aversion and Erasure

In Aversion and Erasure, Carolyn J. Dean offers a bold account of how the Holocaust's status as humanity's most terrible example of evil has shaped contemporary discourses about victims in the West. Popular and scholarly attention to the Holocaust has led some observers to conclude that a "surfeit of Jewish memory" is obscuring the suffering of other peoples. Dean explores the pervasive idea that suffering and trauma in the United States and Western Europe have become central to identity, with victims competing for recognition by displaying their collective wounds.She argues that this notion has never been examined systematically even though it now possesses the force of self-evidence. It de...

Approaching an Auschwitz Survivor

Among sources on the Holocaust, survivor testimonies are the least replaceable and most complex, reflecting both the personality of the narrator and the conditions and perceptions prevailing at the time of narration. Scholars, despite their aim to challenge memory and fill its gaps, often use testimonies uncritically or selectively-mining them to support generalizations. This book represents a departure, bringing Holocaust experts Atina Grossmann, Konrad Kwiet, Wendy Lower, J?rgen Matth?us, and Nechama Tec together to analyze the testimony of one Holocaust survivor. Born in Bratislava at the end of World War I, Helen "Zippi" Spitzer Tichauer was sent to Auschwitz in 1942. One of the few earl...

Un diàleg entre mare i filla sobre les atrocitats comeses al camp de concentració d'Auschwitz. L'Holocaust explicat a nens i adolescents. «La meva filla, Mathilde, que llavors tenia tretze anys, coneixia Berthe; sabia que havia estat a Auschwitz. [...] Però aquell estiu la va impactar profundament veure un número a l'avantbraç esquerre de Berthe tatuat amb una tinta blava un xic descolorida.» Es pot «explicar» a una criatura per què va ser possible l'Holocaust? Com es pot fer entendre a una noia d'avui que els nazis invertissin tanta energia per recórrer Europa de cap a cap perseguint i exterminant milions d'homes, dones i nens, només perquè eren jueus? I no tan sols jueus... Es pot explicar el que és inexplicable? Una historiadora reconeguda respon les preguntes crues i directes de la seva filla. Preguntes que han de ser contínuament formulades per no perdre la racionalitat del gènere humà.

Lors du décès d'une tante sans descendance, Annette Wieviorka réfléchit aux traces laissées par tous les êtres disparus qui constituent sa famille, une famille juive malmenée par l’Histoire. Il y a le côté Wieviorka et le côté Perelman. Wolf, l’intellectuel yiddish précaire, et Chaskiel, le tailleur taiseux. L’un écrit, l’autre coud. Ils sont arrivés à Paris au début des années 1920, en provenance de Pologne. Leurs femmes, Hawa et Guitele, assument la vie matérielle et celle de leurs enfants. Dans un récit en forme de tombeaux de papier qui font œuvre de sépultures, l’historienne adopte un ton personnel, voire intime, et plonge dans les archives, les généalog...
