Mērijas Grīnbergas un Grosvaldu ģimenes stāsts jeb ceļojums ar pauzēm un pieturām

Mērijas Grīnbergas un Grosvaldu ģimenes stāsts jeb ceļojums ar pauzēm un pieturām

Author(s): Kristīne Želve / Language(s): Latvian Issue: 24/2020

The article informs about the exhibition "Mērija's Journey. The Grosvalds Family Story" at the Latvian National Museum of Art (06.09.-24.11.2019) and the documentary feature film "Mērija's Journey" (2018). Both projects were based on scientific research about an important figure in Latvia's cultural history - Mērija Grīnberga (1909-1975). She was an offspring of a wealthy family and, being a museum employee, accompanied the values of Latvia's museums evacuated by the Nazi regime to the present Czech Republic; when the Red Army captured the territory, she guarded these values on their way back to the Soviet Latvia, thus saving large part of the country's history from destruction and oblivion.

A Fatal Compromise? The Debate Over Collaboration and Resistance in Hungary

Author(s): István Deák / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1995

On 27 July 1944, in a well-known pastry shop lodged in the Buda foothills, plainclothesmen of the Royal Hungarian Gendarmerie attempted to arrest Endre Sagvari, leader of the Young Communists. Before he was killed, Sagvari managed to wound three of the agents with his revolver. An intellectual with a doctoral degree in law, he was thirty-one years of age and belonged to a well-to-do Jewish family. Far from making him a rarity, Sagvliri's origins and education typified the membership of the country's minuscule underground Communist party (400 members in 1936 and around 20 at liberty in 1942). Not even his courage was extraordinary, for within Hungary's anti-Nazi movement, the Communists (and some small Zionist groups) were known to be the bravest and the most likely to fight it out with the Germans and the Hungarian authorities.

Shifting References: Celebrations of Uprisings in Croatia, 1945-1991

Author(s): Drago Roksandić / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1995

Yugoslav political ideology had a continuously ambivalent approach to history during the period after 1945. At one extreme was the interpretation of party ideologists who viewed their party (and especially events after Josip Broz Tito became its leader in 1937) in the context of the "centuries-old" desire of the South Slavs to live in a common country. This ideopolitical interpretation had its basic precondition in the "national liberation war" and the Communist Party of Yugoslavia's (CPY) leadership in the struggle against Nazi-fascist occupation from 1941 to 1945. This approach accentuated the continuity of the historical process and the Communists both as the "final" interpreters of the "laws of history" and as those who achieved their "historical role." At the other extreme was the interpretation that considered the victory of the "National Liberation Army of Yugoslavia" in the war with the Nazi-fascist occupiers and "domestic traitors" (Ustashe, Chetniks, Ballists, and so forth) as the end of the prehistory of the Yugoslav people and the beginning of their true history in the Communist paradigm.

Nacizam i umjetnost

Nacizam i umjetnost

Author(s): Milivoje Mlađenović,Slobodan Sadžakov / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 04/156/2019

This paper is analysing the relationship between totalitarianism (particularly in its Nazi form) and art. The following questions are being thematised: whether totalitarianism and art can actually coexist and whether their conflict is truly inevitable, whether and what kind of art can exist within the totalitarian framework, and, in line with the basic concept of this paper, whether any significant artwork was produced during the Nazism era. This paper also considers the attitude of Nazi ideology towards certain forms of art, such as sculpture, film, literature and painting, as well as the segments of Nazi repression in terms of artistic expression.

Some Questions about a “Balanced” Discussion

Author(s): Anto Knežević / Language(s): English Issue: 01/1993

Professor Robert M. Hayden's recent Comment, "Balancing Discussion of Jasenovac and the Manipulation of History" (EEPS 6: 2 [Spring 1992], pp. 207-12), raises some important questions concerning scholarly discussion. In his supposedly "balanced" discussion Hayden uses several unusual scholarly "techniques." Let us examine them in order. [...]

The Image of the Jew from Northern Bessarabia in the Gendarmerie’s 1940 Investigations

Author(s): Daniel-Valeriu Boboc / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2020

In 1940, after the withdrawal from Bessarabia, the Romanian Gendarmerie carried out investigations in order to establish how it had been achieved, whether there had been humancasualties or material losses, and what attitude the local population and the Soviet Army had displayed towards the gendarmes. The general survey brought about an image of the Jew depicted through ideological stereotypes: a communist, a traitor, a saboteur of the withdrawal efforts of the Romanian institutions’ representatives. The goal of this study is to analyze how this imaginary Jew was drawn up and whether such an image is in keeping withthat of the real Jew, resulting from text analyses and from the study of the political life of the Northern Bessarabian Jews from the interwar period.

The Holocaust of the Vatra Dornei Jews, March – October 1941

Author(s): Nicolae Emilian Dranca / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2020

This research has several objectives in mind. The first is to identify the exact location of the ghetto in Vatra Dornei, that existed in October 1941. So far, no one has found and described exactly the streets where this ghetto was located or the capacity it had. The second objective is to identify people who were confined in that ghetto before being deported to Transnistria. The third objective is to identify the participants in the confinement of the Jewish population in the ghetto, respectively the perpetrators and co-perpetrators of crimes and abuses committed against the Jewish population of Vatra Dornei, in 1941. The Jews of Vatra Dornei were especially active in hotels and services, forestry, as well as in the liberal professions. From the Vatra Dornei area, according to some sources, approximately 2,500 Jews were deported together with other Jews from Câmpulung – a total of 6,118 people. At the request of the local and German authorities, 21 Jews were sent back from Transnistria to VatraDornei, because they were effectively indispensable. This research on the Holocaust conducted at the scale of small community can be compared to the development of the cell in an organism. The Holocaust would not have existed without these small cells multiplied hundreds of times, maybe even thousands of times. In addition, this micro-history, researched and analyzed, reveals details that are also arguments for contesting the theses according to which the Holocaust began only after 22 June 1941, or it was possible only where state institutions were dissolved. The main sources for this research are made up of the National Archives in Suceava.

The paper discusses Ernest Bernea’s legionary past, focusing on its consequences and the post-war fate of the sociologist. I take into consideration his activity as a member of theLegionary Movement, his journalistic activity from the Rânduiala magazine, as well as the time he spent at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the light of the communist authorities’ subsequent attitude, highlighting the post-war fate of the Gusti school’s member, which was profoundly marked by this legionary drift. The main resources used in the paper are the documents from the CNSAS Archive.

VIŠEGRADSKI ZLOČINAČKI KRVAVI PIROVI – JUČER, DANAS, SUTRA

VIŠEGRADSKI ZLOČINAČKI KRVAVI PIROVI – JUČER, DANAS, SUTRA

Author(s): Ermin Kuka,Hamza Memišević / Language(s): Bosnian,Serbian Issue: 4/2020

Main goal of Serbian ideology, policy, practice, starting from the late XVIII until the beginning of XIX century is creation of a clean, pure and ethnic Serbian country so called Great Serbia. In such country idealists also included the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Meanwhile that is achievable only by committing heinous crimes including the Bosnian Genocide. Because of the Visegrads Geostrategic position the city is crucial for Serbian plans, aggressors and criminals tried by any means to form ethnically clean territory, not choosing the means or tools in the attempt of achieving that goal. Highest point of those crimes happened during the second world war 1941-1945, also in the time of aggression on Republic Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992-1995. Numerous mass and individual killings, extermination, enslavement, deportations and / or forcible transfer of the Bosniak population, imprisonment and other forms of deprivation of liberty committed in violation of basic rules of international law constitute a long and sad list of criminal and genocidal acts committed against Bosniaks in the Drina Valley, and in the name of the so-called project Great Serbia. In this cycle and history of chetnik misery and inhumanity, the culmination of human malice, evil blood and moral dishonor was against the Bosniaks of Eastern Bosnia. Thanks to the hard work of the community and people of the country this evil plan and evil intentions of Serbs ideologists did not come through. Yet they do not give up, furthermore they use new means and methods. In that contest targeting wider area of Visegrad, as a starting point for commencing Great Serbian goals and ideas. That gave birth to the idea that Visegrad is continuously in focus to the leaders and actors of the ideology of Great Serbia, therefore creation of ethnically clean Serbian areas. All this, for a consequence, had a permanent acts of numerous crimes against humanity and international human rights among Bosnians in wider area of Visegrad, from the period of World war 2 and in the time of aggression on Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this area number of heinous crimes were committed. One of the consequences of the horrific crimes committed against Bosniaks is a radical change in the ethnic structure of the population in the Visegrad area during the 1992-1995 aggression. In relation to the 1991 Census, when there were 13,471 Bosniaks, according to the 2013 census, 1,043 Bosniaks have registered residence in Visegrad. Still, the area wasn’t ethnically cleansed as in accordance to Serbian ideologists, so this shameful project that’s grounded on crime, continued by new means and methods. Analysis confirmed key marks of aggressive attempts of ideology and policy in creating ethnic clean Serbian territory within area of Visegrad. Research is focused and timely determined on three periods: First during the Second world war 1941-1945, Second, Aggression on Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, third period after signing of Dayton’s 1995. still this day. For the purpose of proving the general hypothesis of the research, the methods of analysis and synthesis, the hypothetical-deductive method and the comparative method will be used, and for the purposes of obtaining data, the method of analysis (content) of documents and the case study method. Serbian ideologist still tries to remove all Bosnians from the wider area of Visegrad and by doing so make that town the starting point for the next phases of ethical cleansing of non-Serbian population from walleyes of Drina Conclusion would be under any price secure at first economic conditions for survival of Bosnians on those areas, take a set of measures on economically strengthening Gorazde, as a center of gathering non-Serb population in the walleye of Drina.

Relacja Mordechaja Żurawskiego z Chełmna nad Nerem

Author(s): Łucja Pawlicka-Nowak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2020

Mordechaj Żurawski’s testimony in the Yad Vashem archives concerning his imprisonment in the death camp in Chełmno nad Nerem , given in 1947 i Yiddish, is an important source that reveals how the death center functioned, and shows the experiences of one the few prisoners who survived. We also learn about the author’s earlier experiences in labor camps and in the Łódź ghetto. Żurawski, who usually used the names Mordechaj Maks, was a butcher. He resumed his career as soon as the war was ended. In the 1950s he emigrated to Israel. After the war he testified a number of times about the criminal activities of the Germans in Chełmno.

W pierwszym kręgu - Listy ukrywającego się

W pierwszym kręgu - Listy ukrywającego się

Author(s): Marcin Kula / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2020

These are letters of the Warsaw physician Dr Józef Jabłoński, who as a Jew was hiding during the occupation in a village in the Lublin region. There are 13 surviving texts, written between September and December 1942. Unlike most of the information that came from those hiding, these are astonishing in their descriptions of pleasant situations. Some sound as if Dr Jabłoński had gone on holiday in the countryside, visiting friends. Naturally, the question arises, to what degree the published letters reflect the actual situation. It is clear that certain kind of information could not be included in them. Nevertheless, for the author what he writes about seems to be rather true. How to explain that the author felt so good in hiding? Undoubtedly, he found himself among enlightened, good people. The statistical chance of finding such people by someone in need of hiding was nonetheless quite small. The commentary accompanying the publication analyzed elements of the social situation that in the case of Dr Jabłoński increased this chance.

Laboratorium zagłady – nowa ekspozycja historyczna na terenie obozu zagłady Kulmhof w Chełmnie nad Nerem

Laboratorium zagłady – nowa ekspozycja historyczna na terenie obozu zagłady Kulmhof w Chełmnie nad Nerem

Author(s): Zofia Wóycicka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2020

Kulmhof in Chełmno nad Nerem was the first Nazi death center in occupied Europe and one that operated the longest. It became the site of the extermination of Jews from the territories incorporated into the Reich, including the Łódź ghetto and other countries in Europe. That place had been forgotten for a long time. It was only in December 2019 that a new permanent historical exhibition was opened at the former death center in Chełmno nad Nerem. The terrain was cleaned up and marked. Excavations conducted over the last several decades in both Chełmno nad Nerem and the nearby Rzuchów Forest have facilitated a more precise recreation of the topography of the crime and have unearthed a number of precious personal effects of the murdered. Despite or perhaps owing to this modest form of commemoration this place’s unique character has been highlighted. It was neither a concentration camp like those in Dachau or Buchenwald, where the architecture constituted a bold expression of the Nazi ideology, nor a ‘factory of death’ – a site of industrialized mass murder like Auschwitz-Birkenau. It was a grange in the countryside hastily transformed into a mass extermination center.

Co dziś wiemy o niemieckich represjach za pomoc udzielaną Żydom?

Author(s): Krzysztof Persak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2020

The author discusses and quantifies the results of recent research of the German repressions for help offered to Jews in occupied Poland during World War II. Another layer of the paper covers an analysis of the political underpinnings of research on this subject conducted in today’s Poland, and its entanglement in the official politics of memory. Analysis of the construction and of the language of the publication which presents the research results, reveals areas of existing taboos and shows the defensive character of the contemporary discourse of rescuing Jews.

Kłopotliwa kategoria. Wokół tomu Świadek: jak się staje, czym jest?

Author(s): Justyna Kowalska-Leder / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2020

The author discusses the interdisciplinary volume Świadek: jak się staje, czym jest? [Witness: how does one become one, what it is?], edited by Agnieszka Dauksza and Karolina Koprowska that summarizes the long debate on the significance of testimony and the function of witness of various forms of violence. She focuses on the Holocaust witness that plays a substantial role in the research of the attitude of Poles to Jews during the war, showing how imprecise this category is and how it calls for more precision in its formulation. She also touches upon a problem of non-human witnesses as well as the scope of power of the witness and the testimony, and the institution that control it in different ways.
