Holocaust History, Holocaust Memory
This volume is both a study of the history of Polish Jews and Jewish Poland before, during, and immediately after the Holocaust and a collection of personal explorations focusing on the historians who write about these subjects. While the first three parts of the book focus on "text," the broad nature of Polish Jewish history surrounding the Holocaust, the last section focuses on subtext, the personal and professional experiences of scholars who have devoted years to researching and writing about Polish Jewry. The beginning sections present a variety of case studies on wartime and postwar Polish Jews, drawing on new research and local history. The final part is a reflection on family memory,...
Heroines of the Holocaust
This book brings together international scholars to examine and share new approaches in the history of women’s rescue and resistance during the Holocaust and the Armenian and Rwandan genocide. The activities of women during the Holocaust have often been forgotten, erased, misunderstood, or intentionally distorted. Jewish women and those of all faiths fought with dignity, compassion, and courage to save others from the murderous Nazi regime in many nations. Women played essential roles operating educational, cultural, humanitarian, and armed resistance initiatives, thereby preserving social customs, religious traditions, lives, and histories in defiance of oppression in the Holocaust and ot...
The Eastern Front
The Second World War in Eastern Europe is far from a neglected topic, especially since social, cultural, and diplomatic historians have entered a field previously dominated by operational histories, and produced a cornucopia of new scholarship offering a more nuanced picture from both sides of the front. However, until now, the story has still been disjointed and specialized, whereby military, social, economic, and diplomatic histories continue to give their own separate accounts. This collection of essays attempts to bring these themes into a more cohesive whole that tells a complex, multifaceted story of war on the Eastern Front as it truly was. This is one of the few critical examinations...
A Marketplace Without Jews
This book examines the economics of everyday life and the Final Solution in Southeastern Europe, specifically the role that the mass confiscation of Jewish property and exclusion of Jews as well as other undesired population groups from the national marketplace in Southeastern Europe played in transforming economic life and social relations. It aims to understand how ordinary people in the region responded as beneficiaries, bystanders, perpetrators, rescuers, and, above all, victims to Aryanization, and how regimes and governments adapted its basic principles to their specific national contexts and ideological and ethnic agendas. Aryanization appeared in some of its most radical, accelerated...

Pflanzen für Palästina
In der Geschichtsschreibung war der sogenannte Botanische Zionismus, der sich um 1900 um den deutsch-judischen Kolonialbotaniker Otto Warburg (1859-1938) formierte, nur eine Fussnote. Tatsachlich aber hat der Botanische Zionismus bis in die Gegenwart Spuren hinterlassen. Die neu gepflanzten Eukalypten und Walder Palastinas waren nicht nur praktisch von Nutzen, sondern auch aufs Engste mit dem zionistischen Projekt verknupft: Pflanzen waren nutzlich, sie veranderten und europaisierten die Landschaft, sie symbolisierten aber auch Nachhaltigkeit, Permanenz und das Produktivitatsethos des Zionismus. Laut Dana von Suffrin verband der Botanische Zionismus Natur, Politik, Nationenbildung und Wissenschaft. Wissenschaft und Technik konnten zumindest teilweise die fehlenden politischen, finanziellen und militarischen Ressourcen der Zionisten kompensieren und das zionistische Siedlungsprojekt in ideologischer und praktischer Hinsicht vorantreiben. So waren die botanischen Zionisten Wissenschaftler, aber zugleich auch politische Akteure. In diesem Fall sollte die Wissenschaft der Errichtung eines judischen Staates in Palastina den Weg ebnen.
Aufstand in Auschwitz
Dieses Buch über das 'Sonderkommando' Auschwitz rekonstruiert auf der Grundlage zahlreicher, zum Teil noch unveröffentlichter Zeugenaussagen und schriftlicher Quellen die dramatischen Ereignisse des Aufstands der jüdischen KZ-Häftlinge gegen ihre SS-Bewacher am 7. Oktober 1944. Mehr als eine Million Juden wurden von den Nationalsozialisten in Auschwitz ermordet. Es waren jüdische Häftlinge, Mitglieder des sogenannten »Sonderkommandos«, die gezwungen wurden, die Leichen aus den Gaskammern herauszuholen und in den Krematorien zu verbrennen. Am 7. Oktober 1944 erhoben sich die Häftlinge gegen ihre Peiniger. Sie steckten das Krematorium mit den Gaskammern in Brand, töteten die Bewacher...

In Search of Sugihara: The Elusive Japanese Diplomat Who Risked His Life to Rescue 10,000 Jews from the Holocaust
Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese consul in Kovno, Lithuania, honored in 1984 by Yad Vashem as a “Righteous Among the Nations,” issued transit visas to thousands of Jewsin 1940, saving them from almost certain death in Nazi-occupied Europe. From extensive archival research and interviews — of survivors, fellow students in Harbin, China, diplomats who knew Sugihara and family members —, Hillel Levine reconstructs the fascinating story of this diplomat, spy and Russia expert who singlehandedly built a “conspiracy of goodness.” “Mr. Levine dug deep into wartime archives and traveled all over the world in search of Sugihara’s friends and relatives, and surviving eyewitnesses of his e...
