Sonderkommando

Sonderkommando

Autor: Shlomo Venezia

Número de Páginas: 156

« Je lis de très nombreux récits d'anciens déportés qui me replongent chaque fois dans la vie du camp. Mais celui de Shlomo Venezia est particulièrement bouleversant puisqu'il est le seul témoignage complet que nous ayons d'un survivant des Sonderkommandos... La force de ce témoignage tient à l'honnêteté irréprochable de son auteur qui ne raconte que ce que lui-même a vu, sans rien omettre... Avec ses mots simples, Shlomo Venezia redonne vie aux visages émaciés, aux regards exténués, résignés et souvent terrorisés, de ces hommes, de ces femmes et de ces enfants qu'il croise une seule et dernière fois... La voix de Shlomo Venezia, comme celle de tous les déportés, s'éteindra un jour, mais il restera ce dialogue entre un témoin qui a vu, un des derniers, et une jeune femme, représentante de la nouvelle génération, qui a su l'écouter... » Simone Veil

The Auschwitz Sonderkommando

The Auschwitz Sonderkommando

Autor: Nicholas Chare , Dominic Williams

Número de Páginas: 282

This book is the first to bring together analyses of the full range of post-war testimony given by survivors of the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Auschwitz Sonderkommando were slave labourers in the gas chambers and crematoria, forced to process and dispose of the bodies of those who were murdered. They have been central to a number of key topics in post-war debates about the Shoah: collaboration, moral compromise and survival, resistance, representation, and the possibility of bearing witness. Their testimony however has mostly met with a reluctance to engage in depth with it. Moving from testimonies produced within the event, the Scrolls of Auschwitz and the Sonderkommando photographs, to testimonies given at trials and for video archives, and to the paintings of David Olère and the film Shoah by Claude Lanzmann, this book demonstrates the importance of their witnessing in the post-war memory of the Holocaust, and provides vital new insights into the questions of representation, memory, gender, and the Shoah.

The SS-Sonderkommando Dirlewanger

The SS-Sonderkommando "Dirlewanger"

Autor: Rolf Michaelis

Número de Páginas: 193

A rare look inside the Sonderkommando "Dirlewanger," the SS anti-partisan unit notorious for atrocities in Poland and Russia during World War II. These memoirs were written by a former member of the unit from its formation in 1940 to the end of the war and took part in nearly all its operations. A first hand account of the brutal and barbaric methods used by Dirlewanger against partisans – methods that appalled even some SS commanders – are revealed here in this memoir. SS-Sonderkommando "Dirlewanger" was originally manned by convicted poachers, however as the war progressed replacements were found by emptying prisons and filling the ranks with more hardened criminals. Here are the chilling recollections of a soldier in the SS-Sonderkommando "Dirlewanger" during the Polish and Russian campaigns, the 1944 Warsaw uprising and the final battles near Berlin.

Au coeur de l'enfer

Autor: Zalmen Gradowski

Número de Páginas: 239

Zalmen Gradowski appartenait à un Sonderkommando, ces équipes de déportés, juifs pour la plupart, chargés d'assurer le fonctionnement des chambres à gaz et des crématoires d'Auschwitz- Birkenau. Témoins des opérations de gazage et donc privés de tout espoir de survie, les membres de ces " équipes spéciales " étaient régulièrement exécutés. Seul Gradowski parvient à raconter. S'élève alors une voix qui s'adresse à l'humanité entière depuis le seuil de la mort, une voix qui, aux confins de l'horreur, refuse d'être réduite au silence. En écrivant Au cœur de l'enfer, il témoigne de la disparition de son peuple et rend compte de l'anéantissement de la mémoire juive. Ce manuscrit aux qualités littéraires rares, rédigé en 1944 et enfoui dans le sol à quelques pas du crématoire III, livre une réflexion d'une étonnante lucidité sur la destruction systématique de la vie et du monde juif. Ne pas lire Gradowski, c'est le priver de sépulture une seconde fois.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europas - Zeitalter Weltkriege, Note: 1,0, Freie Universität Berlin (Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Holocaust im östlichen Europa, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die „schwarze Arbeit“ bestand in der Beihilfe am Vergasungsprozess und der darauffolgenden Spurenbeseitigung – die Arbeit des Sonderkommandos von Auschwitz-Birkenau. Doch was verbarg sich hinter dieser Arbeitseinheit, die offensichtlich die Vernichtungspolitik Hitlers vorantrieb und entgegen der nationalsozialistischen Rassenideologie fast ausschließlich aus Juden bestand? Wie gingen die Häftlinge des Sonderkommandos damit um, an dem Massenmord ihrer eigenen Landsleute beigetragen zu haben? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, werden das Sonderkommando im Allgemeinen, die von ihnen zu verrichtende Arbeit und ihre Handlungsmöglichkeiten näher betrachtet. Wie sich die Existenz im Sonderkommando auf den Geist der Häftlinge auswirkte, wird in dem Punkt „psychische Herausforderungen“ dargestellt. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Absichten herauszuarbeiten, die sich hinter dem Sonderkommando-Aufstand vom 07. Oktober 1944 verbargen. Dabei...

Inside the Gas Chambers

Inside the Gas Chambers

Autor: Shlomo Venezia

Número de Páginas: 238

This is a unique, eye-witness account of everyday life right at the heart of the Nazi extermination machine. Slomo Venezia was born into a poor Jewish-Italian community living in Thessaloniki, Greece. At first, the occupying Italians protected his family; but when the Germans invaded, the Venezias were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and sisters disappeared on arrival, and he learned, at first with disbelief, that they had almost certainly been gassed. Given the chance to earn a little extra bread, he agreed to become a ‘Sonderkommando', without realising what this entailed. He soon found himself a member of the ‘special unit' responsible for removing the corpses from the gas chambers and burning their bodies. Dispassionately, he details the grim round of daily tasks, evokes the terror inspired by the man in charge of the crematoria, ‘Angel of Death' Otto Moll, and recounts the attempts made by some of the prisoners to escape, including the revolt of October 1944. It is usual to imagine that none of those who went into the gas chambers at Auschwitz ever emerged to tell their tale - but, as a member of a ‘Sonderkommando', Shlomo Venezia was given this horrific privilege....

Autor: Geoffrey P. Megargee

Número de Páginas: 1004

Created by the Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the monumental 7-volume encyclopaedia that the present work inaugurates will make available - in one place for the first time - detailed information about the universe of camps, sub-camps, and ghettos established and operated by the Nazis - altogether some 20,000 sites, from Norway to North Africa and from France to Russia. This volume covers three groups of camps: the early camps established in the first year of Hitler's rule, the major concentration camps with their constellations of sub-camps that operated under the control of the SS-Business Administration Main Office, and youth camps. Overview essays precede entries on individual camps and sub-camps. Each entry provides basic information about the purpose of the site; the prisoners, guards, working and living conditions; and key events in its history. Material drawn from personal testimonies helps convey the character of each site, while source citations for each entry provide a path to additional information.

UN TESTIMONIO ESTREMECEDOR DEL HOLOCAUSTO QUE NO DEJA DE CONMOVERNOS. Shlomo Venezia tenía 21 años cuando fue deportado junto a su familia a Auschwitz. Como era joven y fuerte, fue uno de los elegidos para formar parte de los Sonderkommandos, las brigadas de prisioneros judíos que, bajo la supervisión de los SS, sacaban los cadáveres de las cámaras de gas y los quemaban. Este infame trabajo les valía pequeños privilegios en ropa y comida. Aunque la mayoría de quienes formaron parte fueron asesinados para que no se convirtieran en incómodos testigos, el autor de este libro logró sobrevivir y nos lega un relato único de cómo funcionaba la bárbara maquinaria de muerte nazi. Un libro sobrecogedor, de una demoledora sinceridad, que reconstruye minuciosamente la vida cotidiana en un campo de exterminio. Un testimonio valiente y aleccionador de una víctima que se vio obligada a colaborar con sus verdugos. Un testimonio escalofriante de un judío obligado a trabajar en las cámaras de gas. Con un prólogo de Simone Veil, también superviviente de los campos de concentración. Aporta detalles minuciosos sobre la organización de los asesinatos en masa de los campos de...

Denial

Autor: Ayal Rosenberg

Número de Páginas: 498

A fictional account of the controversial Holocaust denial trial, Irving vs. Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt, London 2000. The trial created international headlines and rekindled a public reexamination of the Holocaust and its relevance to the 21st Century. In Denial, the prolific English historian, Dudley Innes, files a libel suit against the American Professor Ruth Epstein, a distinguished Holocaust scholar and the author of Raping History, along with her British publisher, Bird Publications. Mr. Innes claims that Professor Epstein's published defamation, questioning his scholarly reputation and labeling him a Holocaust denier, was the cause of his personal and professional demise. With a gripping story telling narrative, Mr. Rosenberg examines the phenomenon of the holocaust denial. Denial is built around the defense's groundbreaking research and captivating witness testimony. it addresses the basic question: can one distort facts and still be called a historian? Denial is a riveting drama with rich characters and broad historical references.

The Field Men

The Field Men

Autor: French L. Maclean

Número de Páginas: 240

Two thousand nine hundred forty-five men lined up in four motorized columns immediately behind the German Army on June 22, 1941 as it prepared to launch Operation Barbarossa - the German attack on the Soviet Union - an attack designed to win the war. Their mission - for the glory of Greater Germany - was to butcher as many human beings as they could get their hands on - men, women and children who were at that very moment peacefully sleeping in their warm beds in dozens of large cities and scores of small hamlets from the Gulf of Finland to the Black Sea, and from the border with old Poland to the outskirts of Moscow. The field men of the Einsatzkommandos, the men of Bach and Beethoven, Grimm and Gutenberg - and now Hitler and Heydrich - were very thorough at what they did. Over the course of the next two years, by means of machine-guns, carbines, gas vans, explosives, rifle butts or ax handles, the field men would slaughter 1,300,000 people. The Field Men, a companion volume to MacLean's The Camp Men: the SS Officers Who Ran the Nazi Concentration Camp System, covers the entire gamut, from the organization of the units, to the SS officers who served in this scourge on the Eastern ...

The Last Consolation Vanished

Autor: Zalmen Gradowski

Número de Páginas: 239

A first-person Holocaust account by a prisoner killed in Auschwitz: "An act of witness that rises now and then to Biblical heights of eloquence." —J. M. Coetzee, Nobel Prize–winning author Filling a gap in history, The Last Consolation Vanished is the first complete English translation and critical edition of one prisoner's powerful account of life and death in Auschwitz, written in Yiddish and buried in the ashes near Crematorium III. Zalmen Gradowski was in the Sonderkommando (special squad) at Auschwitz, a Jewish prisoner given the unthinkable task of ushering Jewish deportees into the gas chambers, removing their bodies, salvaging any valuables, transporting their corpses to the crematoria, and destroying all evidence of their murders. Despite their impossible situation, many Sonderkommandos chose to resist in two interlaced ways: planning an uprising and testifying. Gradowski did both, by helping to lead a rebellion on October 7, 1944, and by documenting his experiences. Within 120 scrawled notebook pages, his accounts describe the process of the Holocaust, the relentless brutality of the Nazi regime, the assassination of Czech Jews, the relationships among the community...

Trauma, History, Philosophy

In the age of the war on terror and what one critic has called 'disaster capitalism', the topic of trauma has assumed renewed cultural relevance.

The collection features two essays by Agnes Heller and Gyorgy Markus addressing trauma, and what psychoanalysis' elevation of 'trauma' to cultural centrality means (and has meant) for modern philosophy and social theory. Other essays address '911', cyber-terrorism, the shoah, political tyranny, the 'end of history', and engage with the thought of Kierkegaard, Schmitt, Hobbes, Derrida, Agamben, Badiou, Zizek, Lacan and Freud.

The Union Kommando in Auschwitz

The Union Kommando in Auschwitz

Autor: Lore Shelley

Número de Páginas: 456

The Weichsel Union fuse factory was installed at Auschwitz in September 1943, after having been evacuated from Zaporozhe, Ukraine. Workers at the Union factory, the largest employer of female slave labor in Auschwitz, soon came to number ca. 2,500 and were known as the Union Kommando. Their work and living conditions were relatively good. The book comprises 36 memoirs of Jewish men and women, most of whom were Union Kommando members. Includes a memoir by Yisrael Gutman (pp. 144-160); he and some others also describe Jewish resistance at Auschwitz and the role of Union workers in the Sonderkommando uprising of October 1944. Discusses, also, unsuccessful efforts of former Weichsel Union slave laborers to receive compensation, while the firm received 2.5 million marks for the loss of its Auschwitz fuse factory.

Debates on the Holocaust

Debates on the Holocaust

Autor: Tom Lawson

Número de Páginas: 340

Debates on the Holocaust is the first attempt to survey the development of Holocaust historiography for a generation. It analyses the development of history writing on the destruction of the European Jews from just before the end of the Second World War to the present day, and argues forcefully that history writing is as much about the present as it is the past. The book guides the reader through the major debates in Holocaust historiography and shows how all of these controversies are as much products of their own time as they are attempts to uncover the past. Debates on the Holocaust will appeal to sixth form and undergraduate students and their teachers, Holocaust historians and anyone interested in either the destruction of the European Jews or in the process by which we access and understand the past.

An Uncompromising Generation

An Uncompromising Generation

Autor: Michael Wildt

Número de Páginas: 592

In An Uncompromising Generation, Michael Wildt follows the journey of a strikingly homogenous group of young academics--who came from the educated, bourgeois stratum of society--as they started to identify with the Nazi concept of Volksgemeinschaft, which labeled Jews as enemies of the people and justified their murder. Wildt's study traces the intellectual evolution of key members of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) from their days as students until the end of World War II. Established in 1939, this office fused together the Gestapo, the Criminal Police, and the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service) of the SS. Far from being small cogs in a big bureaucratic machine, Wildt finds that the people who made up the RSHA constructed the concepts and operated the apparatus that carried out the Holocaust.

"Entre 1942 et novembre 1944, l'Allemagne nazie assassine plus d'un million de personnes, en majorité des juifs européens, dans les chambres à gaz d'Auschwitz-Birkenau. Un Sonderkommando (unité spéciale), constitué de détenus juifs qui se relaient jour et nuit, est contraint d'extraire les cadavres des chambres à gaz, de les brûler dans les crématoires et de disperser les cendres. Quelques hommes ont transcrit cette abomination et enfoui leurs textes dans le sol de Birkenau. Pas un seul de ces témoins n'a survécu, mais cinq manuscrits ont été retrouvés : trois d'entre eux, dans une nouvelle traduction du yiddish pour partie inédite en français, sont présentés ici. S'y ajoutent des documents d'histoire, des photographies, les archives allemande et les dépositions, faites lors du procès de Cracovie en 1946, de trois rescapés des Sonderkommandos".--Page 4 de la couverture.
