Between Community and Collaboration
The first comprehensive, comparative study of the 'Jewish Councils' in the Netherlands, Belgium and France during Nazi rule. In the postwar period, there was extensive focus on these organisations' controversial role as facilitators of the Holocaust. They were seen as instruments of Nazi oppression, aiding the process of isolating and deporting the Jews they were ostensibly representing. As a result, they have chiefly been remembered as forms of collaboration. Using a wide range of sources including personal testimonies, diaries, administrative documents and trial records, Laurien Vastenhout demonstrates that the nature of the Nazi regime, and its outlook on these bodies, was far more complex. She sets the conduct of the Councils' leaders in their prewar and wartime social and situational contexts and provides a thorough understanding of their personal contacts with the Germans and clandestine organisations. Between Community and Collaboration reveals what German intentions with these organisations were during the course of the occupation, and allows for a deeper understanding of the different ways in which the Holocaust unfolded in each of these countries.
If This Is a Woman
The present volume contains thirteen articles based on work presented at the “XX. Century Conference: If This Is A Woman” at Comenius University Bratislava in January 2019. The conference was organized against anti-gender narratives and related attacks on academic freedom and women’s rights currently all too prevalent in East-Central Europe. The papers presented at the conference and in this volume focus, to a significant extent, on this region. They touch upon numerous points concerning gendered experiences of World War II and the Holocaust. By purposely emphasizing the female experience in the title, we encourage to fill the lacunae that still, four decades after the enrichment of Holocaust studies with a gendered lens, exist when it comes to female experiences.
Jewish Men and the Holocaust: Sexuality, Emotions, Masculinity
During the Holocaust, amid death and violence, Jewish men were not mere powerless victims. Linking gender studies with a history of sexuality and emotions will highlight intimate agency, power struggles, negotiations of relationships, social dynamics, and representations of masculinities. Considering the agency and vulnerability will further convey intimate choices, the representation of masculine ideals, intimate violence, and the expression of various emotions such as honour and love. As research on the Holocaust often links women with sexuality or portrays women as gendered beings, it is crucial to excavate the intimate, hidden lives of Jewish men and their specific intimate experiences a...
De vergeten dagboeken
Uitzonderlijke journalistiek, gebaseerd op de oorlogsdagboeken uit het NIOD. Slechts een paar dagen na de bevrijding van ons land begon het NIOD al met het verzamelen van opgetekende herinneringen aan de oorlogsjaren 1940-1945, in dagboeken, brieven en andere persoonlijke documenten. Journaliste Nina Siegal hoorde nauwelijks iets over haar familiegeschiedenis, laat staan over het bestaan van deze bijzondere collectie. Ze groeide op in een Amerikaanse familie die de Tweede Wereldoorlog had meegemaakt, maar pas toen ze naar Nederland verhuisde en dit land steeds meer haar thuis ging noemen, begon haar zoektocht naar het verleden. Aan de hand van de dagboeken van drie Joden, twee nazisympathisa...

Vergeet mij niet
Indrukwekkend boek voor kinderen vanaf 10 jaar over de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Vriendschap was belangrijk voor Anne Frank. In het Achterhuis schreef ze in haar dagboek onder andere over haar vriendinnen Jacqueline van Maarsen en Hannah Goslar. En op een foto van haar tiende verjaardagsfeestje zien we Anne te midden van klasgenootjes als Ietje Swillens, Mary Bos, Martha van den Berg en Kitty Egyedi. Maar terwijl iedereen het aangrijpende verhaal van Anne Frank kent, is van de meesten van haar vrienden weinig bekend. Wat is hun verhaal? Janny van der Molen deed uitgebreid onderzoek naar deze kinderen en naar Peter Schiff, Helmut Silberberg, Juultje Ketellapper, Sanne Ledermann, Nanette Blitz en Peter van Pels. Twaalf indrukwekkende oorlogsverhalen zijn het resultaat die dankzij de samenwerking met de Anne Frank Stichting inhoudelijk zo dicht mogelijk bij de historische bronnen en feiten blijven. Met illustraties van Martijn van der Linden en foto’s uit familiealbums en de collectie van de Anne Frank Stichting. Dit boek is alleen geschikt voor tablets in verband met de kleurenillustraties. U kunt dit niet lezen op een zwart-wit e-reader.

Gemeinsam gegen Deutschland
The series European-Jewish Studies reflects the international network and competence of the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European Jewish studies (MMZ). Thanks to the highly interdisciplinary character of the series, which is edited in collaboration with the Selma Stern Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg, particular emphasis is placed on the way in which history, the humanities and cultural sciences approach the subject, as well as on fundamental intellectual, political and religious questions that inspire Jewish life and thinking today, and have influenced it in the past. The CONTRIBUTIONS publish excellent monographs and anthologies on the entire spectrum of themes from Jewish studies. The series is peer-reviewed.
