This book was released on 2016-02-03 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum The International Tracing Service, one of the largest Holocaust-related archival repositories in the world, holds millions of documents that enrich our understanding of the many forms of persecution during the Nazi era and its continued repercussions ever since. Drawing on a selection of recently available documents from the archive, this essential resource provides new insights into human decision-making in genocidal settings, the factors that drive it, and its far-reaching consequences. The sources that the author has collected and contextualized here reflect the full range of behaviors and roles that victims, their oppressors, beneficiaries, and postwar aid organizations played beginning in 1933, through World War II, the Holocaust, and up to the present.
Download or read book Fate Unknown written by Dan Stone and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-06 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dan Stone tells the story of the last great unknown archive of Nazism, the International Tracing Service. Set up by the Allies at the end of World War II, the ITS has worked until today to find missing persons and to aid survivors with restitution claims or to reunite them with loved ones. From retracing the steps of the 'death marches' with the aim of discovering the burial sites of those murdered across the towns and villages of Central Europe, to knocking on doors of German foster homes to find the children of forced labourers, Fate Unknown uncovers the history of this remarkable archive and its more than 30 million documents. Under the leadership of the International Committee of the Red Cross, the tracing service became one of the most secretive of postwar institutions, unknown even to historians of the period. Delving deeply into the archival material, Stone examines the little-known sub-camps and, after the war, survivors' experience of displaced persons' camps, bringing to life remarkable stories of tracing. Fate Unknown combs the archives to reveal the real horror of the Holocaust by following survivors' horrific journeys through the Nazi camp system and its aftermath. The postwar period was an age of shortage of resources, bitterness, and revenge. Yet the ITS tells a different story: of international collaboration, of commitment to justice, and of helping survivors and their relatives in the context of Cold War suspicion. These stories speak to a remarkable attempt by the ITS, before the Holocaust was a matter of worldwide interest, to carry out a programme of ethical repair and to counteract some of the worst effects of the Nazis' crimes.
Download or read book Survivors written by Rebecca Clifford and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Told for the first time from their perspective, the story of children who survived the chaos and trauma of the Holocaust How can we make sense of our lives when we do not know where we come from? This was a pressing question for the youngest survivors of the Holocaust, whose prewar memories were vague or nonexistent. In this beautifully written account, Rebecca Clifford follows the lives of one hundred Jewish children out of the ruins of conflict through their adulthood and into old age. Drawing on archives and interviews, Clifford charts the experiences of these child survivors and those who cared for them—as well as those who studied them, such as Anna Freud. Survivors explores the aftermath of the Holocaust in the long term, and reveals how these children—often branded “the lucky ones”—had to struggle to be able to call themselves “survivors” at all. Challenging our assumptions about trauma, Clifford’s powerful and surprising narrative helps us understand what it was like living after, and living with, childhoods marked by rupture and loss.

Download or read book Comparative Examinations of Cleaned Paint Surfaces written by Paul-Bernhard Eipper and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explains four different methods for examining paint surfaces. It adopts several examination tools to compare untreated and treated surfaces of oil and acrylic paints, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), computer-aided laser profilometry, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and 3D-measurement technology. Samples of historic oil paints, contemporary oil paints, and modern acrylic paints, are examined within, using subjective and objective measurements, to reveal ideal surface cleaning systems and methods for painting surfaces. The book presents tests of several surface active materials on oil paints and acrylic paint surfaces, including latex sponges and demineralized water, saliva, cellulose ethers, anionic and nonionic detergents, and microporous sponges.
Download or read book Tracing and Documenting Nazi Victims Past and Present written by Henning Borggräfe and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After World War II, tracing and documenting Nazi victims emerged against the background of millions of missing persons and early compensation proceedings. This was a process in which the Allies, international aid organizations, and survivors themselves took part. New archives, documentation centers and tracing bureaus were founded amid the increasing Cold War divide. They gathered documents on Nazi persecution and structured them in specialized collections to provide information on individual fates and their grave repercussions: the loss of relatives, the search for a new home, physical or mental injuries, existential problems, social support and recognition, but also continued exclusion or discrimination. By doing so, institutions involved in this work were inevitably confronted with contentious issues—such as varying political mandates, neutrality vs. solidarity with those formerly persecuted, data protection vs. public interest, and many more. Over time, tracing bureaus and archives changed methods and policies and even expanded their activities, using historical documents for both research and public remembrance. This is the first publication to explore this multifaceted history of tracing and documenting past and present.
Download or read book Testimonies of Resistance written by Nicholas Chare and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sonderkommando—the “special squad” of enslaved Jewish laborers who were forced to work in the gas chambers and crematoria of Auschwitz-Birkenau—comprise one of the most fascinating and troubling topics within Holocaust history. As eyewitnesses to and unwilling abettors of the murder of their fellow Jews, they are the object of fierce condemnation even today. Yet it was a group of these seemingly compromised men who carried out the revolt of October 7, 1944, one of the most celebrated acts of Holocaust resistance. This interdisciplinary collection assembles careful investigations into how the Sonderkommando have been represented—by themselves and by others—both during and after the Holocaust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die moderne Denkmalpflege hat sich seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts herausgebildet und ist unter der Maxime «Konservieren statt Restaurieren» zu einer wissenschaftlich fundierten, gesetzlich geregelten staatlichen Aufgabe herangewachsen. Dass sie auf dem rechten Wege sei, ist unstrittig, auch wenn es bei der Renovierung herausragender Monumente immer wieder zu heftigen Auseinandersetzungen kommt. Offensichtlich ist aber auch, dass es der vormodernen, vorwissenschaftlichen 'Denkmalpflege' gelungen ist, Bauwerke und ihre Ausstattung über wenigstens anderthalb Jahrtausende zu erhalten. Diese erstaunliche Leistung, deren Beweggründe und Methoden werden in diesem Sammelband an konkreten Beispielen untersucht, an Beispielen, die sich nicht verallgemeinern lassen und gerade deswegen das Denken der vormodernen 'Denkmalpfleger' in seiner Vielfalt erfahrbar machen.
