Claire Audhuy examine la manière dont les Nazis organisèrent le grand mensonge des camps à travers les visites de Comités de la Croix-Rouge et le tournage de films, et dont ils utilisèrent l’art à ...ces fins. Ils poussèrent le vice jusqu’à faire participer directement leurs prisonniers à des mises en scène et mascarades. Deux de ces mascarades sont examinées : celles des camps de Terezin et de Westerbork. Terezin, “camp vitrine”, a été fabriqué de toutes pièces par les Nazis dans le but de montrer à la Croix-Rouge notamment, mais aussi au reste du monde, un visage policé des camps nazis. Ils y organisèrent par exemple une représentation théâtrale de Brundibar, un opéra en deux actes de Hans Krsása, dont la première représentation à Theresienstadt eut lieu le 23 septembre 1943. Lors de sa visite du camp de Terezin, pour la Croix-Rouge, en juin 1944, Maurice Rossel ne vit rien de mal, il rendit un avis positif. C’est ainsi que les Nazis associèrent les Juifs à leur extermination, en les forçant au mensonge, les mettant en scène dans un faux camp, les sollicitant pour jouer des rôles de Juifs heureux. Et les artistes de ces camps ont, malgré eux, partagé un art complice des nazis : un art mensonger utilisé contre eux-mêmes.
Friedl Dicker-Brandeis was a pioneer of art therapy. She realized art workshops with therapeutic characteristics with Jewish children during World War II. Her writings, which are translated in ...Italian language in this article, demonstrate a strong theoretical awareness about the therapeutic potential of art and free creative expression. She had also a collaboration with the art therapist Edith Kramer, who was Brandeis’ student in 1930s.
Conditions in the transit ghetto of Theresienstadt, which existed between 1941 and 1945, generated a system in which female sexual and social favors were deliberately traded for food, protection, and ...symbolic capital within the inmates' society. Scholars analyzing the sexuality of Holocaust victims have so far only focused on sexual violence (including forced prostitution) or romantic relationships. Love and sexuality have been understood as either a refuge mechanism or a form of oppression. Using Theresienstadt as a case study, this essay calls a third form into focus: consensual sexual barter. Based on extensive archival material, this study examines the wide range of exchanges: many of the interactions did not include sex acts but rather sexualized or social favors. Suggesting the concept of sexual barter rather than the narrow definition of prostitution points to changes in social practices and patterns: commodification of sexuality and relationships, and sexualization of the ghetto economy. Analyzing bartered sexuality identifies gender values as well as social hierarchies in the ghetto society. Moreover, the findings reveal the gendered character of power mechanisms and the underlying structures of the prisoners' society. Close examination of sexual barter in Theresienstadt highlights the communication within and status of various national groups of Jews from central and western Europe as well as generational segments. Finally, this article discusses the importance of the postwar sexualized narratives.
When German authorities established the Theresienstadt Ghetto for Bohemian and Moravian Jews in late 1941, the site initially functioned much like other ghettos and transit camps at the time, as a ...mere way station to sites of extermination further East. The decision to reconfigure the ghetto as a site of internment for select “privileged” groups of Jews from Germany and Western Europe, and its advertisement as a “Jewish settlement” in Nazi propaganda, constituted an apparent paradox for a regime that sought to make the Greater German Reich “
” (clean of Jews). This article investigates the Theresienstadt Ghetto from a historical-spatial perspective and argues that varying prejudices and degrees of antisemitism shaped divergent “spatial solutions” to segregate Jews from non-Jews, wherein the perceived divide between so-called “
” and assimilated Western Jews played a central role. In this analysis, Theresienstadt emerges as a logical culmination to paradoxical policies designed to segregate select groups of German and assimilated Western European Jews.
In the context of the reality of life in the Theresienstadt ghetto, especially after it was designated as a ghetto for the old, this article focuses on the work of the nurses, both those who had ...qualified as nurses before their arrival and those who gained their practical training there. It looks at the relationships between nurses from different backgrounds and origins, seeking insights into these women's experiences in the extreme conditions of the ghetto. It asks about the value of their struggle to save life, despite their awareness of the inevitable end. In conclusion, it will try to explain the absence of nurses from the epic of the Holocaust and especially from the history of the Theresienstadt ghetto.
1450 people were deported from the Jewish transit camp in Sered, Slovakia, to the Terezín Ghetto in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 4 transports between December 1944 and March 1945. ...Eleven of the deported perished on the way from Sered while 35 died in Terezín. The rest survived the Holocaust.
Based on research in Czech and Slovak archives, as well as in oral and visual history databases and books of memoirs, the paper studies the experience of the people deported to Terezín from Slovakia in its various aspects – their origin (there was a number of Hungarian nationals among the deportees), their previous fates (particularly after the German occupation of Slovakia from August 1944), the extent of knowledge about the mass extermination of Jews „in the East“ among those deported from Slovakia in comparison with other Terezín inmates, their living conditions in the Ghetto (including health and sanitation, public, cultural and religious life), the fate of children among the Slovak Jews in Terezín and the specific experience of the end of the war and liberation.
The review concerns a collective work edited by Reinhard Ibler Der Holocaust in den mitteleuropäischen Literaturen seit 1989. (The Holocaust in the Central European Literatures since 1989).
