Simon & Schuster One Hundred Saturdays: Stella Levi and the Search
Book SynopsisOne of Wall Street Journal’s Ten Best Books of the Year * Winner of the National Jewish Book Awards for Holocaust Memoir and Sephardic Culture * Recipient of the Jewish Book Council’s Natan Notable Book Award * Winner of the Sophie Brody Medal The remarkable story of ninety-nine-year-old Stella Levi whose conversations with the author over the course of six years bring to life the vibrant world of Jewish Rhodes, the deportation to Auschwitz that extinguished ninety percent of her community, and the resilience and wisdom of the woman who lived to tell the tale.With nearly a century of life behind her, Stella Levi had never before spoken in detail about her past. Then she met Michael Frank. He came to her Greenwich Village apartment one Saturday afternoon to ask her a question about the Juderia, the neighborhood on the Greek island of Rhodes where she’d grown up in a Jewish community that had thrived there for half a millennium. Neither of them could know this was the first of one hundred Saturdays over the course of six years that they would spend in each other’s company. During these meetings Stella traveled back in time to conjure what it felt like to come of age on this luminous, legendary island in the eastern Aegean, which the Italians conquered in 1912, began governing as an official colonial possession in 1923, and continued to administer even after the Germans seized control in September 1943. The following July, the Germans rounded up all 1,700-plus residents of the Juderia and sent them first by boat and then by train to Auschwitz on what was the longest journey—measured by both time and distance—of any of the deportations. Ninety percent of them were murdered upon arrival. Probing and courageous, candid and sly, Stella is a magical modern-day Scheherazade whose stories reveal what it was like to grow up in an extraordinary place in an extraordinary time—and to construct a life after that place has vanished. One Hundred Saturdays is a portrait of one of the last survivors drawn at nearly the last possible moment, as well as an account of a tender and transformative friendship between storyteller and listener, offering a powerful “reminder that the ability to listen thoughtfully is a rare and significant gift” (The Wall Street Journal).

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Nazi and Holocaust Representations in
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes sensationalized Nazi and Holocaust representations in Anglo-American cultural and political discourses. Recognizing that this history is increasingly removed from contemporary life, it explains how irreverent representations can help rejuvenate the story for successive generations of new learners. Surveying seventy-five-years of transatlantic activities, the work erects counterposing categorizes of “constructive and destructive memorializing,” providing scholars with a new framework for elucidating both this history and its historicization.Table of ContentsChapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: The Nuremberg Narrative: Fashioning a Liberalized Anglo-American Holocaust MemorializationChapter 3: The Americanization of the Holocaust: Expressions of Cultural and Political MemorializationChapter 4: Why All the Swastikas?: UK Rock Stars’ Nazi/Holocaust Encounters, 1960s-1980sChapter 5: No Soup For You!: Responsible and Irresponsible Holocaust Humor on American SitcomsChapter 6: Irreverent Instruction: Considering New Approaches in Twenty-First Century European and American Holocaust EducationChapter 7: That is Really Meme: Nazifying Pepe the Frog and the Subversion of Anglo-American Holocaust MemorializationChapter 8: Conclusion

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Holocaust Memory and National Museums in Britain
Book SynopsisThis book explores the Holocaust exhibition opened within the Imperial War Museum (IWM) in 2000; setting out the long and often contentious debates surrounding the conception, design, and finally the opening of an important exhibition within a national museum in Britain. It considers a process of memory-making through an assessment of Holocaust photographs, material culture, and survivor testimonies; exploring theories of cultural memory as they apply to the national museum context. Anchored in time and place, the Holocaust exhibition within Britain’s national museum of war is influenced by, and reflects, an international rise in Holocaust consciousness in the 1990s. This book considers the construction of Holocaust memory in 1990s Britain, providing a foundation for understanding current and future national memory projects. Through all aspects of the display, the Holocaust is presented as meaningful in terms of what it says about Nazism and what this, in turn, says about Britishness. From the original debates surrounding the inclusion of a Holocaust gallery at the IWM, to the acquisition of Holocaust artefacts that could act as 'concrete evidence' of Nazi barbarity and criminality, the Holocaust reaffirms an image of Britain that avoids critical self-reflection despite raising uncomfortably close questions. The various display elements are brought together to consider multiple strands of the Holocaust story as it is told by national museums in Britain. Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction: Holocaust Memory, National Museums.Chapter 2. Establishing a permanent Holocaust exhibition.Chapter 3. Holocaust photographs.Chapter 4. Holocaust objects.Chapter 5. Holocaust testimony.Chapter 6. Holocaust education.Chapter 7. Reshaping Holocaust memory in the national museum,post-2021.Chapter 8. Conclusion.

De Gruyter After Memory: World War II in Contemporary
Book SynopsisEven seventy-five years after the end of World War II, the commemorative cultures surrounding the War and the Holocaust in Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe are anything but fixed. The fierce debates on how to deal with the past among the newly constituted nation states in these regions have already received much attention by scholars in cultural and memory studies. The present volume posits that literature as a medium can help us understand the shifting attitudes towards World War II and the Holocaust in post-Communist Europe in recent years. These shifts point to new commemorative cultures shaping up ‘after memory’. Contemporary literary representations of World War II and the Holocaust in Eastern Europe do not merely extend or replace older practices of remembrance and testimony, but reflect on these now defunct or superseded narratives. New narratives of remembrance are conditioned by a fundamentally new social and political context, one that emerged from the devaluation of socialist commemorative rituals and as a response to the loss of private and family memory narratives. The volume offers insights into the diverse literatures of Eastern Europe and their ways of depicting the area’s contested heritage.

De Gruyter Deportations in the Nazi Era: Sources and Research
Book SynopsisDuring the Nazi era, about three million Jews – half the victims of the Holocaust – were deported from the German Reich, the occupied territories, as well as Nazi-allied countries, and sent to ghettos, camps, and extermination centers. The police and the SS also deported tens of thousands of Sinti and Roma, mainly to the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp, where most of them were killed. Deportations were central to National Socialist persecution and extermination. In November 2020, an international conference organized by the Arolsen Archives focused on the various historical sources, their research potential, and (digital) methods of cataloging them. It also explored new (systematizing and comparative) approaches in historical research. This volume features over 20 contributions by scholars from different countries and with a variety of perspectives and questions. The main geographical focus is on deportations from the German Reich and German-occupied Southeastern Europe.

De Gruyter Memorialising the Holocaust in Human Rights
Book Synopsis This book provides an analysis of the forms and functions of Holocaust memorialisation in human rights museums by asking about the impact of global memory politics on how we imagine the present and the future. It compares three human rights museums and their respective emplotment of the Holocaust and seeks to illuminate how, in this specific setting, memory politics simultaneously function as future politics because they delineate a normative ideal of the citizen-subject, its set of values and aspirations for the future: that of the historically aware human rights advocate. More than an ethical practice, engaging with the Holocaust is used as a means of asserting one’s standing on "the right side of history"; the memorialisation of the Holocaust has thus become a means of governmentality, a way of governing contemporary citizen-subjects. The linking of public memory of the Holocaust with the human rights project is often presented as highly beneficial for all members of what is often called the "global community". Yet this book argues that this specific constellation of memory also has the ability to function as an exercise of power, and thus runs the risk of reinforcing structural oppression. With its novel theoretical approach this book not only contributes to Memory Studies but also connects Holocaust memory to Studies of Global Governmentality and the debate on decolonising memory politics.

De Gruyter Yad Vashem: The Challenge of Shaping a Holocaust Remembrance Site, 1942–1976
Book SynopsisIn this fascinating book, the planning and building of Yad Vashem, Israel's central and most important institution for commemorating the Holocaust, merits an outstanding in-depth account. Following the development of Yad Vashem since 1942, when the idea to commemorate the Holocaust in Eretz-Israel was raised for the first time, the narrative continues until the inauguration of Nathan Rapoport's Warsaw Ghetto Uprising memorial in 1976. The prolonged and complicated planning process of Yad Vashem's various monuments reveals the debates, failures and achievements involved in commemorating the Holocaust. In reading this thought-provoking description, one learns how Israel's leaders aspired both to fulfill a moral debt towards the victims of the Holocaust a well as to make Yad Vashem an exclusive center of Holocaust commemoration both in the Jewish world and beyond.

Brill Reinventing Jewish Art in the Age of Multiple Modernities: Michail Grobman and the Leviathan Group
Book SynopsisCan studying an artist’s migration enable the reconfiguration of art history in a new and “global” mode? Michail Grobman’s odyssey in search of a contemporary idiom of Jewish art led him to cross the borders of political blocs and to observe, absorb, and confront different patterns of modernism in his work. His provocative art, his rich archives and collections, his essays and personal diaries all reveal this complexity and open up a new perspective on post-World War II twentieth-century modernism – and on the interconnected functioning of its local models.Table of ContentsPreface List of Illustrations Introduction: Across the East-West Divide: A Portrait of the Artist in Transcultural Perspective 1 The Moscow Prelude: Visual Culture of the Cold War Era or the “Second Russian Avant-Garde”? 1 A Familiar Stranger: The Russian Encounter with Modern Art in the 1950s 2 The Impact of the American National Exhibition in Moscow: From Abstraction to Multiple Idioms 3 The “Cognitive Theory” of the Russian Avant-Garde and Its Role in the Formation of Unofficial Modern Art 4 Situating Unofficial Art Politically: Leviathan as a Symbol of Protest 2 The Notion of Modern Jewish Art across Borders 1 Jewish Art and Modern Culture: A Complex Dialogue 2 Renunciation of Art as the “Hidden Tradition” of Jewish Modernism 3 The Conflict between Traditionalist and Modernist Jewish Art 4 The Revival of Art Theory in the USSR and Grobman’s Debt to Malevich 5 The Genesis Myth and Suprematism in Grobman’s Work of the 1960s 3 Jewish vs. Israeli: Cultural Politics and Identity Controversy in the Work of the Leviathan Group 1 Shifting Self-Definitions in Local Art Scenes of the Late 1960s and Early 1970s 2 Grobman’s Jerusalem Diary: The Jewish Artist as “Other” in the Israeli Art World 3 Grobman and Conceptual Art: “Renunciation” vs. “Dematerialization of the Art Object” 4 “To Stand on the Rock of the Word ‘We’”: The Art of the Leviathan Group 4 Postmodern Variations: Too Jewish, Too Russian, Too Israeli 1 The Jewish Artist as Russian Poet and Israeli Serviceman, 1980s–1990s 2 Conclusion: Parallels, Conflicts, and Hybrids of the Patterns of Modernism in the Biography of a Single Artist Appendices: Selected Texts by Michail Grobman A Manifesto of Magical Symbolism B Selected Theoretical Notes C First Manifesto of the Leviathan Group D Second Manifesto of the Leviathan Group E Third Manifesto of the Leviathan Group (Part of the Leviathan Group’s Installation at the Abattoires 89 International Festival of Artistic Groups in Marseille, Which Was Dedicated to the Bicentennial of the French Revolution, Plate 68) F The Biblical Construction of the Square G The Riddle of Levitan H The Second Russian Avant-Garde Bibliography Plates Index

Brill Remembering the Holocaust in Germany, Austria, Italy and Israel: “Vergangenheitsbewältigung” as a Historical Quest. Free Ebrei Volume 3
Book SynopsisRemembering the Holocaust in Germany, Austria, Italy and Israel: “Vergangenheitsbewältigung” as a Historical Quest offers an account on post-war coming-to-terms with the Holocaust tragedy in some European countries, such as Germany, Austria, and Italy. The subject has attracted more attention in recent years, since the long transition to liberal democracy seems to have put an end to the main theme of the memory of the Second World War. The main point of the volume is the making of a new generational memory after the “end of history”. What is to be done after the making of a globalised world? What about the memorialisation of the last century?Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Meaning of History: Coming to Terms with the Past Vincenzo Pinto part 1: Articles 1 “Coming to Terms with the Past” or “Policy for the Past”?

Brill Tango of Death: The Creation of a Holocaust Legend
Book SynopsisA legend that captures the imagination of audiences and shapes representations of the Holocaust is that in Nazi concentration camps Jewish musicians were forced to play a Tango of Death as men, women and children made their way to the gas chambers. This book traces the origins of this legend to a little known concentration camp in Ukraine where musicians were forced to perform a Jewish tango at executions before they themselves were murdered. By reconstructing the creation of this legend, the book shows how the actual history is hidden, distorted, or even lost altogether.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Illustrations 1 Memory and Myth 1 Serendipity 2 Legend and Myth 3 Holocaust Legends 4 Methodology 5 Ethics 2 Music in the Camps 1 Nazi Concentration Camps 2 Music in the Camps 3 Singing 4 Camp Orchestras 5 Purpose of Camp Music 6 Repertoire 7 Memories of Wagner 8 Wagner Myths 3 The Tango of Death 1 Singing Tangos 2 Three Versions 3 Which One Is It? 4 The Orchestra of Death 1 Nuremberg 2 Provenance 3 The Photographer 4 The Photograph 5 Location 6 The Court 7 Returning to the Iconic Image 5 The Death of the Orchestra 1 Reasons for Doubt 2 Fictionalizing Testimony 6 The Fugue of Death 1 The Poet 2 The Poem 3 The Title 4 Inspiration 5 The Legend 7 Preserving History 1 Imagining Horror 2 Capturing the Imagination 3 Memorializing and Obfuscating 4 Visualizing the Tango of Death 5 Preserving History Literature

Brill The Memory of Pain: Women’s Testimonies of the Holocaust
Book SynopsisIn this book, Camila Loew analyzes four women’s testimonial literary writings on the Holocaust to examine and question some of the tenets of the fields of Holocaust studies, gender studies, and testimony. Through a close reading of the works of Charlotte Delbo, Margarete Buber-Neumann, Ruth Klüger, and Marguerite Duras, Loew foregrounds these authors’ search for a written form to engage with their experiences of the extreme. Although each chapter contains its individual focus and features, the book possesses a unity in intention, concerns, and consequences. In the theoretical introduction that unites the four chapters, Loew eschews essentialism and revises the emergence of the field of Women and Holocaust studies from the early 1980s on, and signals some of its shortcomings. In response, and in accordance with a recent turn in various disciplines of the Humanities, Loew highlights the ethical dimension of testimony and its responsible commitment to the other. In dealing with the texts as literary testimonies—a complex genre, between literature and history—, testimony is freed from the obligation to respond to the requirements of factual truth, and becomes a privileged form to voice the traumatic event, and to symbolically explore the role of excess.Trade Review”Recommended” in: CHOICE - Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, Vol. 49, No. 9, May 2012Table of ContentsList of Figures James R.

Brill SS Thinking and the Holocaust
Book SynopsisSS ideology was the expression of an apparently philosophical self-containing system of thought, articulated around a systematic body of knowledge claiming to integrate humanity inside a global vision of Being. Using ontology and anthropology as foundations, SS thinking developed essentially in the field of ethics. It portrayed itself as a global approach to society and civilization, based on eugenics and ethnic cleansing. It accomplished the fusion of the modern biological paradigm with the cultural shock brought about by World War I and promoted total war for the sake of total health. And since institutional philosophy largely ignores SS theory and praxis, Holocaust memorial institutions may represent an alternative for the development of understanding and reflection. Within the context of Nazism, SS thinking did much to work out the theory for which the Holocaust would be the ultimate accomplishment. It intended to provide the Holocaust with legitimacy, from the viewpoints of ontology, anthropology, politics, and ethics, whence the importance of studying the theoretical framework that gave sense to the most terrible form of SS praxis.Table of ContentsEditorial Foreword Preface Introduction The Historical Context of Nazi Ideology The SS System and Nazi Ideology SS Ontology SS Anthropology SS Ethics The Police of Nazi Praxis The Police of History The Police of Being SS Ideology Remembered Conclusion Works Cited About the Author Index

Brill Writing the Holocaust Today: Critical Perspectives on Jonathan Littell’s The Kindly Ones
Book SynopsisOriginally written in French, The Kindly Ones (2006) is the first major work of the Jewish-American author Jonathan Littell. Its extraordinary critical and commercial success, spawning a series of heated debates, has made this publication one of the most significant literary phenomena of recent years. Taking the Holocaust as its central topic, The Kindly Ones is a disturbing novel: disturbing in its use of explicit sexual descriptions, in its construction of a perverted psychic world, in its combination of accurate historical descriptions and myths, and in its repeated suggestion that Nazism does not, in fact, lie outside the spectrum of humanness. Due to its striking monumental proportions and the author’s provocative choice to recount historical events from the perpetrator’s perspective, this opus marks a significant shift within Holocaust literature. In this volume, fourteen leading literary scholars and historians from eight different countries closely study this unsettling work. They examine the disconcerting aspects of the novel including the use of the Nazi viewpoint, analyze the aesthetics of the novel and its contradictions, and explore its relations with several literary traditions. They outline Littell’s use of historical details and materials and study the novel’s reception. This compilation of essays is essential to anyone intrigued by The Kindly Ones or by the Holocaust and who wishes to gain a better understanding of them.Table of ContentsIntroduction The Book’s Provocation Georges Nivat: Adelphic Incest in Musil, Nabokov, and Littell Peter Kuon: From ‘Kitsch’ to ‘Splatter’: The Aesthetics of Violence in The Kindly Ones Liran Razinsky: The Similarity of Perpetrators Cyril Aslanov: Visibility and Iconicity of the German Language in The Kindly Ones The Perpetrator’s Point of View Catherine Coquio: ‘Oh my human brothers, let me tell you how it happened.’ (Who is the Perpetrator Talking To?)

Hachette Books Unearthed A Lost Actress a Forbidden Book and a
Book SynopsisAs child, Meryl Frank was the chosen inheritor of family remembrance. Her aunt Mollie, a formidable and cultured woman, insisted that Meryl never forget who they were, where they came from, and the hate that nearly destroyed them. Over long afternoons, Mollie told her about the city, the theater, and, above all else, Meryl''s cousin, the radiant Franya Winter. Franya was the leading light of Vilna''s Yiddish theater, a remarkable and precocious woman who cast off the restrictions of her Hasidic family and community to play roles as prostitutes and bellhops, lovers and nuns. Yet there was one thing her aunt Mollie would never tell Meryl: how Franya died. Before Mollie passed away, she gave Meryl a Yiddish book containing the terrible answer, but forbade her to read it. And for years, Meryl obeyed. Unearthed is the story of Meryl''s search for Franya and a timely history of hatred and resistance.

Mariner Books Plunder
Book SynopsisFrom a gifted young writer, the story of his quest to reclaim his family’s apartment building in Poland—and of the astonishing entanglement with Nazi treasure hunters that followsMenachem Kaiser’s brilliantly told story, woven from improbable events and profound revelations, is set in motion when the author takes up his Holocaust-survivor grandfather’s former battle to reclaim the family’s apartment building in Sosnowiec, Poland. Soon, he is on a circuitous path to encounters with the long-time residents of the building, and with a Polish lawyer known as “The Killer.” A surprise discovery—that his grandfather’s cousin not only survived the war, but wrote a secret memoir while a slave laborer in a vast, secret Nazi tunnel complex—leads to Kaiser being adopted as a virtual celebrity by a band of Silesian treasure seekers who revere the memoir as the indispensable guidebook to Nazi plunder. Propelled by rich original research, Kaiser immerses readers in profound questions that reach far beyond his personal quest. What does it mean to seize your own legacy? Can reclaimed property repair rifts among the living? Plunder is both a deeply immersive adventure story and an irreverent, daring interrogation of inheritance—material, spiritual, familial, and emotional.
