Notes and Comments: Jewish Community in the Soviet Annexed Territories on the Eve of the Holocaust: A Social Scientist's View.

Author(s): Jan Tomasz Gross / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1992

Analyzed here is the cliche that Jews welcomed the Soviet occupation of southeastern Poland in 1939 and willingly collaborated with the Communist administration set up in these territories. It was widely shared in Polish society during the war years, and it was never subsequently challenged by historians. It stands out as an example of either extraordinary self-reflective lucidity in a sociery under occupation, or else of an uncritical dullness on the part of historians who simply incorporated into their interpretations what was believed at the time.

Balancing Discussion of Jasenovac and the Manipulation of History

Author(s): Robert M. Hayden / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1992

Professor Ljubo Boban's recent Note on "Jasenovac and the Manipulation of History" (EEPS 4 [Fall 1990}, pp. 580-92), raises important points concerning current controversies over the concentration camp of Jasenovac. Professor Boban's treatment of the issues, however, is less than well balanced. This Comment on his Note is written as an effort to further Professor Boban's aim, to "prevent all manipulations of [the] tragedy" of Jasenovac. [...]

Still More Balance on Jasenovac and the Manipulation of History

Author(s): Ljubo Boban / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1992

It is easy to agree with Mr. Hayden that the magnitude of a crime cannot be measured by numbers and accounting alone. Nevertheless, it is possible that Mr. Hayden does not know that, there have been explicit attempts since the war, to bring forward the numbers and the accounting of victims as the issue of foremost importance. This was surely not done without a certain aim, and not without a certain method. The logic of this accounting was rather simple: the larger the number of victims, the greater the responsibility of perpetrators. If the number of victims is very large, then the perpetrators cannot be individuals or groups, but the whole people. [...]

Notes and Comments: Jasenovac and the Manipulation of History

Author(s): Ljubo Boban / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1990

The notorious concentration camp of Jasenovac, established and run by the Ustaša regime of Ante Pavelić in wartime Croatia, has been the subject of enormous controversy in recent Yugoslav historiography. Two authors who have exercised a notably negative influence in this controversy are Vladimir Dedijer and Milan Bulajic. The purpose of this article is to disentangle some of the contradictory claims about Jasenovac and related questions that form the underbrush of historical and parahistorical literature in present-day Yugoslavia. Further, it is to establish the actual facts about the scope of Ustaša massacres at Jasenovac. Historians and the wider public need to know the truth about Jasenovac for its own sake, for the sake of appreciating the true dimensions of this human tragedy, and to prevent all manipulations of this tragedy.

Gypsies in Czechoslovakia: A Case of Unfinished Integration

Author(s): Otto Ulč / Language(s): English Issue: 02/1988

Gypsies, those wanderers in various parts of the globe who still elude assimilation, have remained on the periphery of world attention. Their North Indian, Aryan origin notwithstanding, they were singled out with the Jews for Nazi genocide: an estimated one million of them perished. From occupied Bohemia and Moravia they were deported and almost all were exterminated. In the nominally independent pro-Nazi state of Slovakia, most of the Gypsies survived although they were subjected to various discriminatory measures. [...]

Encyklika Mit Brennender Sorge (Cum Cura Ardenti)

Author(s): . Pope Pius XI / Language(s): Czech Issue: 75/2019

V době, kdy představitelé evropských velmocí ještě jednali s pohlaváry Německé říše velmi vstřícným způsobem (viz např. Mnichov 1938), vydává dne 14. 3. 1937 již těžce nemocný papež Pius XI. velice ostrou encykliku v německém originále, podle prvních slov označovanou „Mit brennender Sorge“ (latinsky „Cum Cura ardenti“), které už od roku 1934 předcházely ostré diplomatické nóty Svatého stolce; papež v ní jasnými slovy kritizuje německou říšskou vládu za věrolomné porušování konkordátu, za všeobecnou persekuci církve a za porušování přirozených lidských práv zejména v náboženské oblasti.

Vývoj diplomatických styků mezi Německem a Svatým stolcem v polovině třicátých let 20. století

Author(s): Marek Šmid / Language(s): Czech Issue: 74/2019

The study deals with transformation of relations between the Nazi Third Reich and the Catholic Church in Germany in 1933–1937. It focuses on the period from the signing of the Reichskonkordat in the summer of 1933 until the publication of the Pope Pius XI. encyclical Mit brennender Sorge in the spring of 1937. The Nazi totalitarian dictatorship was increasingly showing its true face and relations of both contractual partners deteriorated day by day. The text is primarily based on the resources of the Historical Archive of the State Secretariat of the Holy See, its section for relations with the states, then the Vatican Periodical L’Osservatore Romano and extensive foreign literature, mainly English and German.

Two Warsaws: The Literary Representation of Catastrophe

Author(s): Madeline G. Levine / Language(s): English Issue: 03/1987

Two separate Warsaws symbolize what happened in Poland during the Second World War. One Warsaw-the razed city of the 63-day Warsaw Uprising of 1944-represents the suffering and the militant heroism of the entire Polish nation. This Warsaw, resurrected from under the rubble and ashes of the destroyed city, is celebrated as a confirmation of the endurance of the Polish nation and the bravery of the many thousands of young people who gave their lives in the Uprising and in the underground. Its very destruction has become an icon of hope. [...]

Koncentracja jako metoda wyniszczenia (Ravensbrück)

Author(s): Barbara Czarnecka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2020

Czarnecka examines the phrase “concentration camp” and highlights the semantic lack of symmetry between the two parts. This, she argues, reflects the fact that concentration is still an understudied aspect when it comes to scholarship on camps and the records pertaining to them. Examining source materials (prisoners’ accounts) concerning FKL Ravensbrück Czarnecka tackles the problem of concentration as a method of extermination. She presents women’s experience of the camp through forced physical proximity and various aspects related to it: the homogenisation of society, the devastation of intimacy, the psychological impact of having no physical space and the way in which this deprivation affected their attitudes, the spreading of dirt and disease. The extreme concentration in Ravensbrück in 1944 and 1945 led to an extreme chaos where all structures, including camp structures, collapsed.

Bernardo Bertolucci film “Konformist” Nõukogude Liidus: kuidas loob tsensuur uue teose?

Author(s): Tiina Hoffmann / Language(s): Estonian Issue: 16/2019

The article analyses Bernardo Bertolucci’s screen adaptation (1970) of Alberto Moravia’s novel “The Conformist” in comparison with the censored version of the film released in the Soviet Union in 1976. Attention is paid foremost to the dubbed Russian version’s visual cuts and translation shifts, which amount to the creation of a new, castrated version that is approximately 30 minutes shorter than the original film and that ideologically corresponds to the then-dominant Soviet discourse of representing fascism. The article demonstrates how in this new, censored version where Bertolucci’s complex narrative is transformed into a linear narrative (that surprisingly makes it closer to the original novel by Moravia), the characters’ psychological inner worlds and Bertolucci’s storyworld conveyed through images, sounds and language have become lost in translation.

Slovenia's Fragmented Past

Author(s): Selma Mustafić / Language(s): English Issue: 11/2020

This article examines the impact of Second World War events on the Slovenian territory in today's public discourse in the country. Specifically, the debate revolves around those Slovenian units that opposed the communist-led national liberation movement and to this end, collaborated with the Nazi and Fascist occupiers. Because of the extrajudicial killings of its members in the summer of 1945 and the faults of the communist regime as a whole, historical revisionists attempt to justify their choice to cooperate with the occupiers, a narrative that established itself after Slovenia gained independence in 1991. Today, in the light of Slovenia's independence and integration into the European Union, historical revisionists attempt to change the meaning of certain decisions, acts, or events to justify them. Despite numerous attempts at national reconciliation, the on-going disagreement in collective historical memory and value systems associated with such memory is used by individual politicians to push their political agenda. In that manner, it remains fairly present in the political and social life of Slovenia.

Bleiburg kao kulturna trauma

Author(s): Viktorija Kudra Beroš / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 43/2020

Since Croatia’s independence, Croatian society has been antagonized by the issue of Yugoslav history. The point of contention on which society is divided into two almost irreconcilable camps concerns the interpretation of events after World War II and the mass liquidations, known as the Bleiburg Tragedy, of members of the defeated army of the Independent State of Croatia that began with their surrender at the small town of Bleiburg in the southern Austrian state of Carinthia. The topic of these liquidations was something of a taboo in Yugoslavia, which was governed by the Communist Party, but Croatian anti-Yugoslav emigrants constructed them as cultural trauma by linking them to the loss of “homeland” from a position of exile. This paper focuses on an analysis of the narrativization of the Bleiburg tragedy that creates emotions, constructs ideological phantasm and builds meanings for these post-war events as points of collective memory of Croatian political emigration. The analysis is based on articles dealing with this topic in the magazine Hrvatska revija from when it was published in Argentina. It also questions the way in which such structured cultural trauma antagonizes the social field after it enters the Croatian public space by revising common memories.
