The Jews of Denmark in the Holocaust
Based on never previously explored personal accounts and archival documentation, this book examines life and death in the Theresienstadt ghetto, seen through the eyes of the Jewish victims from Denmark. "How was it in Theresienstadt?" Thus asked Johan Grün rhetorically when he, in July 1945, published a short text about his experiences. The successful flight of the majority of Danish Jewry in October 1943 is a well-known episode of the Holocaust, but the experience of the 470 men, women, and children that were deported to the ghetto has seldom been the object of scholarly interest. Providing an overview of the Judenaktion in Denmark and the subsequent deportations, the book sheds light on t...

The Rescue Turn and the Politics of Holocaust Memory
While many of the essays focus on recent developments, they shed light on the evolution of this phenomenon since 1945.
More than Parcels
The astonishing accounts offered in More than Parcels add texture and depth to the story of organized Jewish responses to wartime persecution that will be of interest to students and scholars of Holocaust studies and modern Jewish history, as well as members of professional associations with a focus on humanitarianism and human rights.
Nothing to Speak of
In October 1943, Adolph Hitler ordered the mass arrest of Jews in Denmark. While many Danish Jews were rounded up and deported to concentration camps, thousands fled to Sweden in one of the most successful--and famous--rescue operations of Jews in wartime Europe. Based on more than one hundred interviews, Nothing to Speak Of sheds new light on this rescue operation, telling the story of what happened to these survivors after October 1943. This richly illustrated volume is the first to deal with the long-term consequences of escape, exile, and deportation during this harrowing time for Danish citizens, uncovering deep and painful memories that still haunt many survivors today.
Early Holocaust Memory in Sweden
This book investigates the memory of the Holocaust in Sweden and concentrates on early initiatives to document and disseminate information about the genocide during the late 1940s until the early 1960s. As the first collection of testimonies and efforts to acknowledge the Holocaust contributed to historical research, judicial processes, public discussion, and commemorations in the universalistic Swedish welfare state, the chapters analyse how and in what ways the memory of the Holocaust began to take shape, showing the challenges and opportunities that were faced in addressing the traumatic experiences of a minority. In Sweden, the Jewish trauma could be linked to positive rescue actions instead of disturbing politics of collaboration, suggesting that the Holocaust memory was less controversial than in several European nations following the war. This book seeks to understand how and in what ways the memory of the Holocaust began to take shape in the developing Swedish welfare state and emphasises the role of transnational Jewish networks for the developing Holocaust memory in Sweden.
Western and Northern Europe June 1942–1945
Executive editors: Katja Happe, Barbara Lambauer, and Clemens Maier-Wolthausen, with Maja Peers; English-language edition prepared by: Elizabeth Harvey, Johannes Gamm, Georg Felix Harsch, Dorothy Mas, and Caroline Pearce In summer 1942 the Germans escalated the systematic deportations of Jews from Western and Northern Europe to the extermination camps. In most of the countries under German control, the occupying forces initially focused on arresting foreign and stateless Jews, thereby securing the cooperation of local authorities. However, before long the entire Jewish population was targeted for deportation. This volume documents the parallels and differences in the persecution of Jews in o...
Oktober 1943
Natten mellem 1. og 2. oktober 1943 slog tyskerne til mod de danske jøder. Aktionen blev startskuddet til en dramatisk, nervepirrende og følelsesladet måned, hvor det lykkedes for omkring 7.000 jøder at flygte til Sverige, mens lige under 500 ikke slap væk i tide og endte i bugen på et transportskib eller i en kreaturvogn med retning mod Theresienstadts mørke indre. I "OKTOBER 1943 - de danske jøders flugt og fangenskab" fortæller Simon Kratholm Ankjærgaard om den skelsættende periode under den tyske besættelse af Danmark. Dag for dag, uge for uge folder han begivenhederne ud og følger en række historiske skikkelser, der på hver deres måde er centralt placeret midt i begivenh...
Menschen ohne Geschichte sind Staub
Eine Untersuchung, die für das Erinnern an queere jüdische Opfer während des Holocausts und für ein Ende der Stigmatisierung eintritt. Queere Geschichte des Holocaust, also die Frage nach gleichgeschlechtlichem Verlangen unter den Holocaustopfern, ist bis in die heutigen Tage eine Leerstelle geblieben. Dies liegt an einer weitreichenden Homophobie der Häftlingsgesellschaft in KZs und Ghettos, was dazu führte, dass die Stimmen dieser Menschen weitgehend aus den Archiven getilgt sind. Anna Hájkovás Text baut auf bestehender Forschung zu Homophobie auf und macht den Versuch, die Geschichte dieser ausradierten Menschen zu schreiben. Die Untersuchung ist dabei gleichzeitig eine Geschichte...
