Holocaust

Die Studie untersucht die diskursiven Kämpfe um die Anerkennung des NS-Völkermords an Sinti und Roma in der Bundesrepublik bis 1990. Dabei wird unter Anerkennung zweierlei verstanden: die Akzeptanz der Verbände der Sinti und Roma als legitime Gesprächspartner der Bundesregierung sowie die Bewertung der "NS-Zigeunerverfolgung¿ als "rassisch¿ motiviertes Verbrechen in Politik und Wissenschaft. Auf der Grundlage umfassenden Quellenmaterials von Bundesbehörden und politischen wie zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteuren entsteht eine Diskursgeschichte dieses langwierigen Anerkennungsprozesses. Sie zeigt, dass bis tief in die 1960er Jahre hinein ein durch und durch rassistisches Bild der nationalsozialistischen Politik gegen Sinti und Roma vorherrschte. Dieser Denkstil, der von traditionellen Vorurteilen über "Zigeunerkriminalität¿ geprägt war, geriet in den 1970er Jahren mit der Rezeption von internationalen Forschungsarbeiten immer stärker unter Druck. Doch erst in den 1980er Jahren begann mit der Anerkennung der Sinti und Roma als Gesprächspartner durch Bundeskanzler Helmut Schmidt auch die Erforschung des NS-Massenverbrechens.

Dachau is a book written by the son of a member of the US Armed Forces that liberated the Dachau Concentration Camp in April, 1945. The camp ran from 1933 to 1945 and was the first Nazi concentration camp. The book traces the history of the camp from its beginnings as a detainment center for political prisoners all the way to its final iteration as a slave labor camp in which many types of prisoners were held. The story of its roots goes back to the early days of Hitler's political ambitions and his objectives for seeking power, even to the point of world domination. He was a tyrant who implemented severe racist policies and who embarked on a world war that caused great destruction across Europe. The concentration camps were a systematic strategy Hitler used to abuse and subjugate people he believed to be in the way of his world conquest and Dachau was a part of that system.The book describes in vivid detail the prison life of the detainees including the abuses they were subjected to, the hard labor they were forced to perform, their stark living conditions and the punishments they received. It also includes insights into the mentality of the inhumane SS guards who ran the facility. These troops were highly loyal to Hitler, very faithful to their training and regimentation, and cruel with every action they took. Dachau was the training center for all guards in all of the concentration camps.When US forces were finally able to liberate the camp in 1945, they faced the immense task of providing aid to over 30,000 people who spoke many different languages and who were mostly all either injured or ill. The book describes the amount of organization and help needed to assist the former prisoners in order for them to eventually go back to live in freedom and return to their countries of origin or to a country that would take them in.Finally, the book presents the current memorialization of the former camp. It has become a heavily visited site and it bears the purpose of educating visitors about its history. Also, it stands for the respect the spiritually and the reflection that goes with contemplating the amount of death and cruelty that occurred there and must be avoided by mankind going forward.It is a hope this book will present a very strong case against the evils of racism. It is also a hope that it presents the Nazi philosophy as one that cannot succeed and that should not be emulated in any respect in our modern era. The people that were persecuted by the Nazi system and the soldiers that gave their lives and their service to stop it are the heroes of this book.

One of the last great untold stories of the Holocaust, The Survivor is an astonishing account of one man's unbreakable spirit, unshakeable faith, and extraordinary courage in the face of evil.At only sixteen years old, Josef Lewkowicz became a number, prisoner 85314. Following the Nazi invasion of Poland, he and his father were separated from their family and herded to the Kraków-Plaszów concentration camp. Forced to carry out hard labour in brutal conditions, and to live under the constant threat of extreme violence and sudden death, before the war was over Josef would witness the unique horrors of six of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, Mauthausen and Ebensee.From salt mines to forced marches, summary executions to Amstetten, where prisoners were used as human shields in Allied bombing, Josef lived under the spectre of death for many years. When he was liberated from Ebensee at the end of the war, conditions were amongst the worst witnessed by allied forces.With his freedom, Josef returned home to find that he was the only one left alive in an extended family of 150. Compelled by the need to do something to avenge that loss, he joined the Jewish police while still in a displaced persons' camp, and was recruited as an intelligence officer for the US Army who gave him a team to search for Nazis in hiding.Whilst rounding up SS leaders, he played a critical role in identifying and bringing to justice his greatest tormentor, the Butcher of Plaszow, Amon Göth, played by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. He then committed his life to helping the orphaned children of the Holocaust rebuild their lives.The Survivor is Josef's extraordinary testimony.

?In the Garden of the Righteous brilliantly describes how in the midst of the brutality of the Holocaust and the collaboration, acquiescence and passivity of millions, there were people who risked their lives to save others out of a sense of shared humanity. This book is more timely than ever.??Stuart E. Eizenstat, author of Imperfect Justice: Looted Assets, Slave Labor, and the Unfinished Business of World War IIThese powerfully illuminating and inspiring profiles pay tribute to the incredible deeds of the Righteous Among the Nations, little-known heroes who saved countless lives during the Holocaust.Less than a century ago, the Second World War took the lives of more than fifty million people; more than six million of them were systematically exterminated through crimes of such enormity that a new name to describe the horror was coined: the Holocaust. Yet amid such darkness, there were glimmers of light?courageous individuals who risked everything to save those hunted by the Nazis. Today, as bigotry and intolerance and the threats of fascism and authoritarianism are ascendent once again, these heroes' little-known stories?among the most remarkable in human history?resonate powerfully. Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, has recognized more than 27,000 individuals as ?Righteous Among the Nations??non-Jewish people such as Raoul Wallenberg and Oskar Schindler who risked their lives to save their persecuted neighbors.In the Garden of the Righteous chronicles extraordinary acts at a time when the moral choices were stark, the threat immense, and the passive apathy of millions predominated. Deeply researched and astonishingly moving, it focuses on ten remarkable stories, including that of the circus ringmaster Adolf Althoff and his wife Maria, the Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Italian cycling champion Gino Bartali, the Polish social worker Irena Sendler, and the Japanese spy Chinue Sugihara, who provided hiding places, participated in underground networks, refused to betray their neighbors, and secured safe passage. They repeatedly defied authorities and risked their lives, their livelihoods, and their families to save the helpless and the persecuted. In the Garden of the Righteous is a testament to their kindness and courage.
