Loaded into cattle wagons, they are transported to an unknown destination, where terror and uncertainty become the new normal.

Das Gebiet der heutigen Ukraine gehörte zu den zentralen Tatorten der deutschen Besatzungsverbrechen und des Holocaust. Im September 1941 richteten die Deutschen dort das Reichskommissariat Ukraine ein, das zum Zeitpunkt seiner größten Ausdehnung aus Teilen des damaligen Ostpolens sowie der Sowjetrepubliken Belarus und Ukraine bestand. Zur Jahreswende 1941/42 ließ das Reichssicherheitshauptamt dort auch stationäre Dienststellen der Kommandeure der Sicherheitspolizei und des SD aufbauen. Sie führten weitgehend die verbrecherische Tätigkeit der sogenannten Einsatzgruppen fort, die weiter nach Osten vorstießen. Doch mit einem Unterschied: Sie waren gekommen, um zu bleiben und die Dystopie eines deutsch-dominierten Osteuropas in die Praxis umzusetzen. In der Folge erschossen die Angehörigen dieser Dienststellen unzählige als Juden und Roma verfolgte Menschen und Kriegsgefangene, errichteten ein eigenes Lagersystem, verfolgten den Widerstand, richteten eine einheimische Kriminalpolizei ein und nahmen aktiv Einfluss auf die Kirchenpolitik. Die Studie untersucht erstmals die Geschichte und das Personal der Dienststellen im Reichskommissariat Ukraine und wirft damit auch neues Licht auf die Praxis der Besatzung und den Holocaust.

Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio proposes a perception of reality and of what lies beyond it. The rational, the irrational and the transrational are fundamentally linked to this author's writing. His writing is a philosophy of existence, with all its certainties and uncertainties. Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio's writing is marked by reflection and perpetual questioning. One might even say that it is writing at the frontiers of human thought in its relationship to knowledge and truth. The questions that pile up in Leclézio's novels bear witness to a kind of repeated anxiety that runs through the stories and the characters.

"By shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of Fascism and Nazism, this book examines the ambitious plans for a new European order conceived by Italian intellectuals, historians, geographers, politicians, and even student representative of the Fascist University Groups (GUF). Through expert reconstruction of the debate on this envisaged order's development, Monica Fioravanzo opens a window into the theoretical arena that shaped relationships between German, Italy and the other Axis nations and provides insight into how the project was anticipated to unite the Fascist regime in Italy and the Nazi Reich. In the history of Fascism and Nazism, from 1932 through 1943, there is a largely unwritten chapter on the vast array of projects for a new European order put forward by Italian intellectuals, histories, geographers, politicians, and even student representative of the Fascist University Groups (GUF). Under the Axis' rule, little is known about how much the project would prospectively unite the Fascist regime and the Nazi Reich in the post-war order; and much less is know about Italy's plans. Fascist Europe reconstructs the debate on this envisaged order, a debate that unfolded alongside an evolving international framework surrounded by conflict. The diachronic examination from Monica Fioravanzo allows a window into the theoretical arena that contributed to the development of relationships between German, Italy and the other Axis nations"--

This book aims to analyze the profiles of women built in the poetics of Chico Buarque, confronting myths and legends that projected the image of women over time, contributing to literary studies on the subject. Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, better known as Chico Buarque, is a musician, playwright and writer who became an icon in Brazilian culture, because when we talk about Brazilian popular music (MPB) in the decades of 1960 - 70 it is impossible not to make reference to Chico, due to his great contribution to the cultural scene of the country. Thus, the research aims to understand, through literary analysis, the meanings put in the songs of Chico Buarque, in which he thematizes the female figure, conflicting with the fact that the female is considered a social marginality, in various periods of history.

A collection of true short stories from WW2 - Perfect for children who love history!

During World War Two, in the concentration camp Terezin, a group of Jewish children and their devoted teacher planted and nurtured a smuggled-in sapling. Over time fewer and fewer children were left to care for the little tree, but those who remained kept lovingly sharing their water with it. When the war finally ended and the prisoners were freed, the sapling had grown into a strong five-foot-tall maple. Nearly eighty years later the tree's 600 descendants around the world are thriving, including one that was planted at New York City's Museum of Jewish Heritage in 2021. Students will continue to care for it for generations to come, and the world will remember the brave teacher and children who never gave up nurturing a brighter future.

The Underground Archive is the first attempt to document the Shoah from the perspective of those affected and directly during the events.Before World War II, Poland was home to 3.3 million Jews, and Warsaw was the cultural, religious and political center of this diverse community. A year after the German war of aggression began, the Nazis forced the Jewish population into a sealed-off part of the city. The historian Emanuel Ringelblum then stimulated an unprecedented project: a group working in secret, documenting the daily life of the ghetto under the code name Oneg Shabbat (Joy of Shabbat). Cut off from the world, it collected and produced a wealth of material. With the beginning of the systematic murder of Polish Jews, they unwillingly became chroniclers of the Shoah, which they themselves, with few exceptions, did not survive. After the war, a large part of the archive, buried in tin crates and milk cans, was recovered from under the ruins of the ghetto. With its approximately 35,000 preserved pages, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The volume is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name, which the NS Documentation Center Munich will open in cooperation with the Jewish Historical Institute Warsaw in June 2023.

Today, technology invades man's life, often to the point of depriving him of happiness, which justifies the need of the 21st century man for a refuge where he can find his lost happiness. Among these writers, Michel Tournier in Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique pushes this fugitive man to an island where he not only finds life, but also begins the search for himself. Thus, as the story progresses, the physical journey takes on another form, that of the inner journey. At the same time, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio treats the same theme in Désert from his own point of view. What attracts attention in these two works is the fact that the journey is first physical, before turning into an inner quest. Indeed, the characters leave their homes and it is through this physical displacement that their communication with the outside world evolves.

IN THE WORLD Some countries in Latin America and Africa, two centuries and fifty years after their independence respectively, have not yet managed to solve economic underdevelopment. This is in spite of the theories, models, economic solutions available or the abundant presence of scholars and experts in the field. Our research has uncovered the main phenomenon that has always prevented and complicated the sustainable resolution of problems in nations, while at the same time transmitting the problems from generation to generation. Our research has just discovered the main phenomenon that prevents even the great scholars and experts from discovering the root causes that produce most of the problem. Now with this discovery, the world will easily solve its public problems. The results of our research provide a new approach to sustainable problem solving. TO THE DRC The results of our research bring the only adequate solution that is missing not only today but since the time of Mobutu to solve durably the socio-political crisis of the DRC.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, Note: 2,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kann es in abweichenden, illegalen und nicht standesgemäßen Verhalten, sogar positive Elemente geben? Was bedeutet dies nun für eine Organisation? Laut Niklas Luhmann gibt es im Hintergrund formeller Organisationen auch informelle Organisationen. Daher möchte ich mit Niklas Luhmann der Frage nachgehen, ob Illegalität benutzt wird und somit auf sein Konzept der "brauchbaren Illegalität" eingehen.Zu Beginn wird Luhmanns Systemtheorie anhand formaler Organisationen als Ausgangspunkt kurz vorgestellt und erläutert. Den wichtigsten Teil stellt dann die Interpretation der "brauchbaren Illegalität" dar. Im Fokus steht, was man aus dem Illegalen nutzen kann, wann es "nützlich" wird und welche Abläufe dahinter stecken. Wann ist Abweichung schädlich und wann ist sie vorteilhaft für die Organisation? Wer entscheidet darüber, und warum missachten Vorgesetzte Regeln und Normen und erklären sich? Unter welchen Umständen entsteht diese Illegalität überhaupt? Bevor die Arbeit schließlich mit einer Zusammenfassung abschließt, soll der Begriff der "brauchbaren Illegalität" auf ein praktisches Beispiel angewendet werden. Rückblickend hat vermutlich jeder oder jede einmal gegen etablierte Normen gehandelt, beispielsweise wenn er oder sie sich als Kind traute, einen Lutscher zu stehlen, in der Straßenbahn kein Ticket zu kaufen oder über eine rote Ampel gelaufen ist. Das sind natürlich "Kleinigkeiten", aber sie machen deutlich, dass Eskapismus ein Teil unseres Lebens ist. Werden nun Unternehmen, Institutionen, Verbänden, Behörden und einer Vielzahl weiterer Organisationsformen betrachtet, so kann festgestellt werden, dass diese durch zahlreiche Verordnungen, Richtlinien und einen hohen Formalisierungsgrad gekennzeichnet sind. Regeln, Vorschriften und Standards werden kodifiziert und es wird erhofft, dass das niemand diesen Normen abweicht. Ist es überhaupt möglich Abschweifungen zu verhindern? Noch wichtiger: Müssen alle informellen Dinge blockiert werden?

Von Erich Kästner bis zum Widerstand gegen die Nazis. Walter Triers Rolle in der britischen Propaganda. Vom britischen Informationsministerium bekam Walter Trier den Auftrag, ein Flugblatt zu der bedeutungsvollen Geste zu gestalten. Er tat es meisterhaft in Form eines Leporellos. Auf der Vorderseite sieht man den Diktator vor einem blauen Himmel mit großem V in Form von Kondensstreifen eines britischen Fliegers. Auf der Rückseite wird Hitler in Posen mit dem V konfrontiert, bis er sich schließlich an einem Balken in V-Form aufhängt. Dieser Band, der die Reproduktion des Original-Flugblatts enthält, beschäftigt sich eingehend mit dem Widerstand Walter Triers gegen die Nazis. In einem erhellenden Text von Philip Oltermann wird detailliert die Entstehungsgeschichte der britischen Propaganda erklärt sowie die Rolle des Kästner-Illustrators Walter Trier darin. Aus dem großen Fundus des Walter-Trier-Archivs speisen sich die zahreichen schaurig-satirischen Zeichnungen Triers, die seinen Widerstand gegen die Deutschen belegen. Widerstand bis zum Sieg über die Nazis, dafür stand das V. Nachdem Nazideutschland Belgien besetzt hatte, war der frühere Justizminister mit der Regierung ins Exil geflohen. In London moderierte er am 14. Januar 1941 eine denkwürdige Sendung bei Radio Belgique, dem französischsprachigen Sender der BBC. Dort schlug er seinen Landsleuten einen gemeinsamen Code vor - den Buchstaben V, »weil V der Anfangsbuchstabe der Worte >Victoire< (Sieg) im Französischen und >Vrijheid< im Flämisch ist: zwei Dinge, die zusammengehören, da Wallonen und Flamen im Moment Hand in Hand marschieren, zwei Dinge, die das eine aus dem anderen ergeben, der Sieg, der uns unsere Freiheit zurückgibt, der Sieg unserer guten Freunde, der Engländer. Ihr Wort für Sieg beginnt ebenfalls mit V«, erklärte der liberale Politiker. »Wie Sie sehen, alles rundherum passt.« Vom britischen Informationsministerium bekam Walter Trier den Auftrag, ein Flugblatt zu der bedeutungsvollen Geste zu gestalten. Er tat es meisterhaft in Form eines Leporellos. Auf der Vorderseite sieht man den Diktator vor einem blauen Himmel mit großem V in Form von Kondensstreifen eines britischen Fliegers. Auf der Rückseite wird Hitler in Posen mit dem V konfrontiert, bis er sich schließlich an einem Balken in V-Form aufhängt. Unser Band enthält zwei erklärende Texte: vom deutsch-englischen Guardian-Korrespondenten Philip Oltermann und der Trier-Expertin Antje M. Warthorst. Mit zahlreichen satirischen Illustrationen von Walter Trier gegen Adolf Hitler und die Nazis. Beigelegt ist die Reproduktion des Original-Leporellos.
