Bøger om Polen

Pave Johannes Paul II (Karol Józef Wojtyła, 1920-2005, pave fra 1978) var et menneske, der bar mærkerne af det 20. århundredes dramatiske begivenheder på legeme og sjæl: nazismen, kommunismen og terrorismen. I denne bog, der bygger på en række samtaler omkring årtusindskiftet, skænker han os sit åndelige testamente. I ligefremme og personlige betragtninger reflekterer han over eviggyldige spørgsmål som ondskabens mysterium, frihedens gave og Guds barmhjertighed som det sidste, afgørende ord, men også over betydningen af Polens og hele Europas identitet i lyset af Evangeliet og den nyere historie. Bogen var Johannes Paul II's sidste værk, der udkom kort før hans død i 2005. Den udgives nu på dansk i anledning af hans saligkåring i den 1. maj 2011 i Rom. I denanledning er den blevet forøget med et forord af biskop Czeslaw Kozon, der flere gange har mødt Johannes Paul II, og et efterskrift af Torben Riis samt et tillæg af farvefotos fra pontifikatet.

”Eichmann satte mig ind i metoden med motorgasning i lastvogne, som man hidtil havde benyttet den østpå. Men det kunne der slet ikke være tale om med de massetransporter, man kunne vente i Auschwitz. Henrettelse ved hjælp af kuloxyd fra bruser i et baderum, som man havde benyttet det ved udryddelse af de sindssyge nogle steder i Tyskland, ville kræve for store bygningskomplekser, og det var højst problematisk, om man var i stand til at fremskaffe gas til så store masser.”Rudolf Höss var den første kommandant i nazisternes frygtede koncentrationslejr Auschwitz under Anden Verdenskrig. Selvom han i selvbiografien fremstiller sig selv som en soldat, der blot fulgte sine overordnede i beslutningen om masseudryddelsen af jøderne, var han personligt ansvarlig for at føre ordren ud i livet og stod direkte bag massedrab på millioner af mennesker. I bogen beskriver Rudolf Höss med uhyggelig nøgternhed og kulde de lavpraktiske problemer ved at skulle udrydde så mange mennesker ad gangen og skille sig af med ligene.Rudolf Höss beretter om livet som frivillig soldat under Første Verdenskrig, årene i Brandenburg Tugthus, hvor han sad fængslet for drab, og hvordan det lykkedes ham at stige i graderne, da nazisterne tog magten. Höss selv tegner et billede af en almindelig mand og familiefar, der gennem lydighed og pligt, uden anger, udfører massemord på effektiviseret industrielt plan, og det gør læsningen desto mere rystende og gruopvækkende. Höss skrev bogen i fangenskab i 1946, inden han blev henrettet i 1947, og den er et vigtigt historisk vidneudsagn om forbrydelserne under holocaust.Bogen er forsynet med den oprindelige danske udgaves forord af den norske forfatter og lyriker Arnulf Øverland, der sad i KZ-lejren Sachsenhausen fra 1942-1945, og bringes som den udkom første gang i 1959.Rudolf Höss (1900-1947) var en tysk topnazist, der var kommandant i den frygtede polske koncentrationslejr Auschwitz under Anden Verdenskrig og ansvarlig på mordet på millioner af mennesker. Han trådte ind i SS i 1934 og arbejdede sig hurtigt op til toppen af nazistpartiet. Efter krigen vidnede han mod andre nazister under Nürnbergprocessen, hvorefter han blev udleveret til Polen. I 1947 blev han dømt til døden og hængt foran indgangen til krematoriet i Auschwitz.

Call Me Lola is a moving photo essay by the acclaimed Israeli-American lens-based artist and documentarian Loli Kantor. For over twenty years, she combed through the family archives of her Polish-born father, a doctor and political activist. The focus is on her mother, Lola, who died in childbirth: a woman who manifests herself principally through images and stories rather than direct memories. The family documents and photographs that retrace the artist's personal history are shown in combination with new camera-based works, making the project a profoundly subjective reflection on the most significant upheavals of the twentieth century, on war and displacement, love and loss, trauma and grief. LOLI KANTOR (*1952) is an Israeli-American photographer whose work centers on personal and cultural memory. She lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas.

THE NOVEL THAT INSPIRED THE OSCAR WINNING FILMAmidst the horrors of Auschwitz, German officer, Angelus Thomsen, has found love. But unfortunately for Thomsen, the object of his affection is already married to his camp commandant, Paul Doll.As Thomsen and Doll's wife pursue their passion - the gears of Nazi Germany's Final Solution grinding around them - Doll is riven by suspicion. With his dignity in disrepute and his reputation on the line, Doll must take matters into his own hands and bring order back to the chaos that reigns around him.'It is exceptionally brave.... Shakespearean.... It's exciting; it's alive; it's more than slightly mad. As the title suggests, it is dreadfully interesting.' Sunday Times

Installed in a loosely chronological order, the exhibition will give an overview of Tapta's oeuvre, which is mainly divided into two "periods": the textile works made in the 1960s until the early 1980s and the works in neoprene from the 1980s to 1990s. The exhibition first focuses on Tapta's textile works, in which she steadily distanced herself from traditional weaving by applying experimental techniques such as twisting her woven pieces and, in particular, through the use of ropes, which she knotted and joined together into organic volumes. Her work protruded outwards from the wall, became more three-dimensional and increasingly interacted with the space and the viewer, who was invited to experience the works not only visually but also in a tactile and physical manner, stepping around and even inside them.In addition to about twenty original textile works, the exhibition will premiere the unique reconstruction recently made of Tapta's Forms for a Flexible Space (1974). This imposing installation made of cords, in which the visitor can enter and taka a seat, is-as far as is known-the only still existing environment of which Tapta created several in the early 1970s. However, since the original is in extremely poor condition, an exhibition copy was made last year during the Tapta exhibition at Wiels, Brussels, and will be shown in its entirety for the first time at Muzeum Susch. Tapta's activation of the viewer, as seen in the textile sculptures, also manifests itself in the black neoprene works that she began to make in the late 1980s and which-following an intermediate phase of experimenting with rubber and stretching ropes across the vaults of the exhibition spaces-marked a radical turn in her use of materials. Handcrafted rope sculptures now gave way to sculptures and installations from the industrially manufactured material, neoprene-further developing, however, her idea of flexible sculpture. Large black surfaces connected by metal bars and bolts form open structures, through or past which the viewer can walk. Sometimes, the different elements of the sculpture are connected by hinges, allowing their shape to be changed-according to the size of the space or the will of the visitor.Some of the archival documents that will be shown next to the scale models, feature Tapta as a professor at the La Cambre National School of Visual Arts in Brussels. From 1976 to 1990, she led the textile workshop there, renaming it Flexible Sculpture. This commitment as a teacher was as important to her as her artistic practice. Rather than instructing her students in a particular technique, she prioritised the development of an open and critical mind. Her students included Ann Veronica Janssens, Monica Droste and Marie-Jo Lafontaine. Tapta (the pseudonym of Maria Wierusz-Kowalska, born Maria Irena Boyé) was born in Poland in 1926 and came to Belgium as a political refugee with her husband, Krzysztof, after taking part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. She studied weaving at the La Cambre National School of Visual Arts, Brussels, from where she graduated in 1949. Shortly afterwards, the couple moved to the Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), where they lived from 1950 to 1960. On their return to Belgium in 1960, until her sudden death in 1997, she worked in Brussels as an artist and-from 1976 until 1990-as a professor at La Cambre.

In the latter part of 1939, German leader Adolf Hitler made a pact with the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin to invade Poland. Confident that British and French leaders would opt for a weak peace settlement, Hitler's army stormed in from the north, south and west on September 1st, while Stalin's Red Army invaded from the east on September 17th. This story, part fact and part fiction, is an account of the suffering endured by the Polish people at this time, many of whom were imprisoned in Siberia and forced to work under dreadful conditions. Yet when Hitler turned on Stalin and invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Poland's exiled found common cause with their Russian captors to take up arms against Nazi oppression. Though the Allies emerged victorious in 1945, a heavy price was exacted from occupied Poland. Many survivors discovered they no longer had homeland to which they could return, their former communities now under firm Soviet control.

Based on ethnographic research conducted in a town on the Polish-Belarussian border, this book examines borders and the lingering echoes of conflict. Using hauntology as a guiding framework to understand how people live amidst the histories and reverberations of conflicts, the author investigates the role that landscape, with its material presences and absences, plays in evoking and maintaining the border. The ethnography probes themes of ethnicity, religious practice, memory and space, investigating the border as a dynamic social process.By immersing herself in the everyday lives of the borderland, Joyce unravels how traces - lingering imprints of the past - shape local relationships in the present, influencing shared understandings of history and the future. Introducing the concept of the spectral border as a lens to reveal the ambiguous presence of afterlives and memories tied to a historical boundary, the book unveils its present-day ghostly forms in the local ideas and practices of neighbourliness at the heart of borderland identity. Spectral Borders interrogates the use and limitations of these practices by exploring points of tension, where the meanings and uses of 'being a neighbour' and 'being from the borderland' are tested and challenged. In doing so, the book raises important questions about how conviviality is created and managed in a place with a long and unresolved history marked by ethnic and religious violence, war, and civil unrest.

Starachowice, on the Kamienna River, became an important mining and industrial center during the 19th and 20th centuries. In the interwar period, it annexed its ancient neighbor, Wierzbnik, forming the town ot Wierzbnik-Starachowice. Jews, who began settling here in the early 19th century, by 1935 made up 31% of a population of about 8000. During the 1930s, Jewish-owned factories produced flour, glass, ceramics, farm tools, iron, lumber, plywood, and building materials. There were more than 130 Jewish shops and stores. The Jewish community supported 3 cheders, a public school, a Tarbut school, a yeshiva, a synagogue, a mikveh, several Hassidic shtiblech, and a cemetery. On September 9, 1939, the city was occupied by the Germans. In February 1941, they established a ghetto in Wierzbnik, to which Jews from various towns were sent. The ghetto was liquidated on October 27, 1942, and many of its prisoners sent to the Treblinka death camp. The Jews who remained were sent to labor camps in the area and, finally, to Auschwitz. The Jewish community of Wierzbnik-Starachowice is no more. This book, originally written in Hebrew and Yiddish by emmigrees and survivors, shows what it was like and bears witness to its destruction.

"Extraordinary storytelling about unfathomable horror." - Library Journal (starred review)"[A] worthy tribute to the extraordinary bravery of a remarkable woman." -- Publishers WeeklyIn World War II's Poland, thirty year old Zofia Sterner and her husband Wacek refuse to be classified as Jews destined for extermination.Instead, they evade the Nazis and the Soviets in several dramatic escapes and selflessly rescue many Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto and a labor camp, later becoming active participants in the Warsaw Uprising where they are taken prisoner. This retelling, captured through diaries, interviews, war crime trial testimonies, and letters, detail the Sterners' heroic rescues, escapes, and ultimate survival. A true story of hope amid horrifying tragedy, How We Outwitted and Survived the Nazis illustrates how war brings out the worst and the best in people, and how true humanity and heroism of ordinary people are revealed by their willingness to risk everything and help others. This story is about being human under the most inhumane conditions.

Nach der Niederlage bei Tannenberg (1410) und dem Ersten Thorner Frieden (1411) begann, folgt man der älteren Forschung, der Niedergang des Deutschen Ordens. Dabei war der Konflikt mit Polen-Litauen nicht entschieden und die Zeit zwischen 1411 und 1422 geprägt von Schiedsverfahren, Waffenstillständen und erneuten kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen. Wie die Ordensbrüder in dieser Zeit der fortwährenden Unsicherheit die eigenen Handlungsspielräume wahrnahmen, untersucht Mats Homann, indem er einen akteursbezogenen Ansatz entwickelt und anwendet. Auf diese Weise wird deutlich, wer oder was aus der Perspektive des Ordens dazu geeignet war, die eigenen Geschicke zum Besten zu wenden.From the perspective of the Teutonic Order, the period under study (1411-1422) can be understood as a period of searching for a solution to an unresolved situation - especially in the conflict with Poland-Lithuania. The brothers of the Order did not assume that they were in an unchangeably bad position or in decline. Rather, they perceived the question of the long-term development of the Order's Prussia as undecided. However, due to its close observation of the political environment, the Order had to notice that no other actor was in a position to bring about this solution (e.g. by an arbitration award). As a consequence of this assessment, from 1420 onwards there are increasing considerations to shape one's own actions more actively and to show less consideration for other actors.

An old man-poet, playwright, essayist, and scholar-sifts through the broken fragments of his memory as he recounts what it was like to grow up in Warsaw during the German occupation of World War II. The result is Kinderszenen, a searing and controversial memoir by a major post-war Polish writer that has evoked both debate and praise, now translated into English for the first time.The book's title comes from the suite of piano pieces by Robert Schumann which evoke the innocence and joy of childhood-thus providing a wrenching counterpoint to the violence, destruction, and madness that characterize Jaros¿aw Marek Rymkiewicz's coming of age.While the scenes of his youth are depicted in vivid detail, from his boyish encounters with cats, horses, and turtles up to the shocking brutality of murder and mayhem witnessed at first hand, what really sets Kinderszenen apart is its extended meditation on the nature of war, oppression, and fanatical nationalism, and the possibility-however doomed it may seem-of human resistance to those forces. Here is an enduring testimony that remains starkly relevant to our own time.

Zvi Helmut Steinitz Memoirs for eternal remembranceFor years I was preoccupied with the thought of documenting the tragic fate of my family members, all of them perished in the Holocaust. Yet for almost my whole life, I tried to suppress the sorrowful past, wary of resurrecting the years of tears and suffering. I rarely spoke of the wartime atrocities. I never returned to the country where death resided, where streams of Jewish blood saturated the earth. I couldn¿t bring myself to stand before the silent mass grave in Belzec, where my parents, my brother and my aunt lie buried together with hundreds upon thousands of Jewish victims. I couldn¿t face the death of those I loved, couldn't look into their eyes. In my mind, they live on. Many years later, vivid images from the monstrous war years began to appear frequently, images that cast a shadow over my day-to-day life and burdened my mind. I gradually became aware of my age, too. I was no longer young, and already I felt under pressure to finally write down the story of my family. All my life I had been haunted by the question of how I had survived the war, where I had drawn the mental and physical strength that helped me to survive those tortuous years. There is no explanation for my survival, and yet I am certain that the upbringing that my parents gave me had a significant influence on my steadfastness and determination, particularly in critical situations. My parents brought my brother and me up with love and human values that I have carried with me through my life. In moments of deepest despair and deadly peril, hidden strengths awakened in me, strengths that sharpened my senses and saved my life. I strongly believe that the values installed in childhood will always stay with a person and develop into principles that a young person can take into independent life. Had I not possessed these principles, not even blind luck or sheer coincidence could have saved me. As the only surviving member of my family, I felt a moral obligation to immortalise in writing the fate of my family and their lives before and during the war up until their tragic deaths. I had the extraordinary fortune of surviving, and I have enough mental strength today to enable me to address the horrors of that time and to tell the story of my family. The Nazis will not succeed in their appalling attempt at erasing my family's existence from this earth. My parents and brother have no personal graves and no gravestone.

¿The publication of the 2nd edition of Chris Webb¿s book on Sobibor is an important addition to the literature on the Aktion Reinhardt camps, which are still under researched in relation to their significance in terms of the Final Solution. The published literature on the Aktion Reinhardt camps is scant indeed in comparison with for example Auschwitz-Birkenau. Of note is the new chapter on the post war testimonies of SS personnel many published here for the first time in English. The focus on perpetrators be it SS or Trawniki men is important given they have been significantly under researched to date. I have known Chris for twenty years and met him for the first time in 2003 when we visited the sites of the Aktion Reinhardt camps in person. Chris has been researching the Aktion Reinhardt camps for more than 50 years and his knowledge is unequalled. I would highly recommend the revised edition of his book on Sobibor to all serious scholars of the Holocaust.¿¿Cameron A Munro, Chairman Tiergarten4Association e.V.¿Chris Webb¿s book is a thought-provoking, well written piece on a still sadly under-researched topic: The Sobibor death camp. The book is the result of decades of research and multiple trips to the original site. Its strength lies in the close examination of the smallest details; its emotional power is derived from a thorough analysis of the fates of the perpetrators and the victims.¿¿Robert Parzer, Historian, Berlin

This book sets out to analyse for the very first time a selection of works by international contemporary artists that reference the German-Polish border, and to draw attention to artworks created between 1990 and the early 2020s. The projects explored reference narratives of expulsion and the fluid, spectral and aesthetic nature of borders through sensory and somaesthetic perception. They examine the historical shifts of that border from the angle of changing political and societal contexts, lost homelands, expulsion of people and new political orders.The book is the product of research in the field at the German-Polish border, interviews with artists, visits to their studios, and archival work. It employs a transdisciplinary toolbox, combining methods from art history, border (art) studies, migration studies, memory studies, geopoetics, limotrophy and more. The volume questions the double figure of dividing and sharing that finds expression in the German word "eine (Grenze) teilen", which means either to divide or to share a border: separation by a shared border and shared historical experience, regarded from two, often dissimilar perspectives. The study focuses on artistic projects ranging from photography to installation art and artistic methods from mapping to re-enacting, which address the issue of the borderland as a dynamic transition space.

Forfatterens familie emigrerede fra Polen til Uruguay før Holocaust. I 1972 blev Rosencof arresteret som medlem af Den Nationale Befrielsesbevægelse og sad fængslet indtil 1985, elleve et halvt år af den tid i isolation. I løbet af sine år i fangenskab trænede han sin hukommelse og rekonstruerede historien om sit liv og sin polsk-jødiske familie gennem sin stemme som barn, ung mand og voksen. En virkelighed, der får fiktionen til at blegne. Den unge Moishe fortæller om en barndom præget af adskillelse, krig, flugt og tab, men også af et ukueligt mod. Det er ligeledes fortællingen om den voksne søns kærlighed til den nu afdøde far, som hele sit liv forgæves har ventet på nyt om slægtninge, der er blevet sendt i koncentrationslejr. Og om Moishes mor, der viser sin søn familiebilleder fra Polen og taler om Ruth, Anna, Irene B mennesker, som ikke længere er. Moishes dybe reflektioner om livet afbrydes af ”brevene, der ikke kom”, som hans bedstemor skrev efter deportationerne til koncentrationslejrene. Bevis på en dyb menneskelighed, der har overlevet døden – breve fulde af musik og makaber humor! Denne fremragende selvbiografiske roman er et af de mange vigtige vidnes- byrd om en forfærdelig periode i menneskets historie, som aldrig må gentage sig.

Polish-Jewish Re-Remembering addresses Polish-Jewish relations, including the impact of Jews on the development of national culture in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, their presence in social life, and relations between Jews and non-Jews. The book consists of nineteenth chapters on Polish, Jewish and Polish-Jewish Literature from the interwar period to the early twenty-first century.

Despite peacebuilding efforts between Ukraine and Poland, the author shows that the conflict between the two nations, with its violent zenith in the 20th century, remains unresolved. Looking at Andrei Sheptyts'kyi, Ukrainian Greek Catholic metropolitan between 1901 and 1944, as well as the insights from conducting qualitative research with contemporary representatives of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, the author argues that Sheptyts'kyi must be considered a peacebuilder, and that, following his example, representatives of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church are uniquely situated to be peacebuilders in the Polish-Ukrainian conflict. Lastly, the author suggests several avenues for future peacebuilding.
