During World War II Poland lost more than six million people, including about three million Polish Jews who perished in the ghettos and extermination camps built by Nazi Germany in occupied Polish territories. This book is the first to address the representation of the Holocaust in Polish film and does so through a detailed treatment of several films, which the author frames in relation to the political, ideological, and cultural contexts of the times in which they were created. Following the chronological development of Polish Holocaust films, the book begins with two early classics: Wanda Jakubowska's The Last Stage (1948) and Aleksander Ford's Border Street (1949), and next explores the P...
Książka ta jest przeznaczona przede wszystkim dla studentów medycyny i lekarzy. Pokazuje, do czego może doprowadzić w ekstremalnych warunkach – skażonych zbrodniczą ideologią – niekontrolowana praktyka medyczna. Lekarze, tak jak inni ludzie, mogą ulec indoktrynacji sprzecznej z ogólnymi zasadami współistnienia między ludźmi. Wówczas relacje lekarz – pacjent, w szczególności relacje empatii, zaufania, podmiotowości i współczucia, przestają istnieć. Zawarte w tej publikacji materiały i wykłady zaprezentowano na uroczystym posiedzeniu Towarzystwa Lekarskiego Krakowskiego 27 stycznia 2009 roku w Collegium Novum Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego z okazji Światowego Dnia Holokaustu. Wiceprezes Towarzystwa Lekarskiego Krakowskiego prof. dr hab. med. Aleksander Skotnicki
After World War II, tracing and documenting Nazi victims emerged against the background of millions of missing persons and early compensation proceedings. This was a process in which the Allies, international aid organizations, and survivors themselves took part. New archives, documentation centers and tracing bureaus were founded amid the increasing Cold War divide. They gathered documents on Nazi persecution and structured them in specialized collections to provide information on individual fates and their grave repercussions: the loss of relatives, the search for a new home, physical or mental injuries, existential problems, social support and recognition, but also continued exclusion or ...
"For Nazi Germany, the ghetto was a conceptual tool used to facilitate social and political exclusion and further their anti-Jewish campaign. For the Jews who lived in them, the ghetto became the center of their lives--even though they were also sites of immense suffering. Combining thorough historical research with an interdisciplinary analysis of the relationship between space and violence, Violent Space provides a unique insight into the history and the socio-spatial topography of the Jewish ghetto in German-occupied Warsaw (1939-1943). Using rare archival materials and firsthand accounts, many of which have never been translated into English, Anja Nowak traces out the trauma that the space of the ghetto inflicted on its Jewish inhabitants, and how it alienated, disoriented, and harmed them. While the physical ghetto--its buildings, boundaries, and streets--has been reabsorbed and redefined by modern-day Warsaw's urban structure, Violent Space shows us that its presence still lingers in the narratives of those who were forced into this first phase of the Holocaust"--
