This book provides a chronological account of the Auschwitz concentration camp from the camp's beginning in 1940 right up to its liberation in January 1945, and beyond. Chris Webb manages to find a ...balance between detailing the sufferings of the victims and the actions, characters, and fates of the perpetrators. He gives, in a concise form, a thorough and deeply disturbing overview of all aspects of Auschwitz and its many satellite camps. In addition, the book contains a vast collection of photographs and documents, some of them never shown in public before. It ends with the 2017 recollections by students who visited Auschwitz from Teesside University.
For the last sixty years, two institutions have shaped the destiny of the town of Oświęcim in southern Poland. One of these institutions is globally recognised, its history and development widely ...researched; the other is well known only amongst Polish industrialists, perhaps Polish economic geographers, and amongst the people of Oświęcim. These two institutions are the Auschwitz State Museum and the chemical firm Dwory SA. Both institutions have their roots in the German Occupation of Poland 1939–1945. This paper presents the tale of these two institutions in order not only to highlight the need to embed memorial sites in their wider contexts, but also to indicate the impact of such sites as political–economic institutions, with the influence to shape social and economic landscapes. In laying out the geographies of the town and its two major institutions, we draw attention to the ways in which Holocaust memorialisation and post-socialist transformation are articulated with each other, not only here in Oświęcim, and also with wider processes of social, economic, political and cultural change.
Since 2007, the Lessons from Auschwitz Project organised by the Holocaust Education Trust, has taken groups of Scottish senior school students (between 16 and 18 years) and where possible an ...accompanying teacher from their school, to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum as part of a process of increasing young people's knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust and racism. The Project comprises four components: an orientation session, the visit to the Museum, a follow-up session and a Next Steps initiative. The final component involves students designing and implementing projects in their school and community aimed at disseminating what they have learned. Previous published research has focused on the impact of the Lessons from Auschwitz Project on student participants. This research (funded by the Pears Foundation and the Holocaust Education Trust) investigates the impact the Lessons from Auschwitz Project has on teacher participants. The methodology was an online questionnaire, which was completed by 42 Scottish teachers who participated in the Lessons from Auschwitz Project in 2007. Findings indicate that the Lessons from Auschwitz Project influenced teachers at a personal and professional level and that this applied to teachers who considered their knowledge of the Holocaust and genocides to be substantial. In addition, teachers considered that the Project impacted their schools in a range of ways.
Die Reihe behandelt den Massenmord im Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager Auschwitz erstmals im Kontext der nationalsozialistischen Besatzungs-, Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftspolitik im eroberten ...Polen. Die Verbrechen werden dabei in Bezug gesetzt sowohl zur Alltagsrealität der Häftlinge als auch zum politischen Geschehen in der zivilen Umgebung des Lagers. Im Mittelpunkt des Forschungsprojektes stehen Fragen nach dem ideologischen Zusammenhang zwischen "Germanisierung" und Vernichtung, nach der Verstrickung der deutschen Privatwirtschaft in den systematischen Massenmord und nicht zuletzt nach dem Verhalten der deutschen Bevölkerung angesichts von Terror und Mord.
The documentaries discussed in the previous chapters have addressed the ways in which the destruction of the Jews resulted in the annihilation of countless communities and displaced millions of men, ...women and children from theirshtetlekhand their neighbourhoods, while creating new kinds of places where the victims were concentrated, exploited and eventually murdered. This chapter presents a topographical shift in focus from the places inhabited by the Jews before and during the war to the spaces designed for their extermination in the context of what should not be understood as one event, but rather as a succession of small-and
