Death Books from Auschwitz by Jerzy Dȩbski Pdf

The 46 documents collected in this documentation, the so-called 'Death Books', are among the few remaining original records from Auschwitz. They contain entries for the dates on which Auschwitz prisoners died during the period from July 27, 1941 to December 31, 1943. However, it should be noted that the almost 69,000 deaths entered here are only a small part of those who died in the concentration camp. The documentation is issued in three volumes. In volume 1, 'Reports', articles of well-known Auschwitz survivors have been included. Their insights into how the Auschwitz camp functioned are invaluable aids in understanding the SS administrative apparatus and interpreting the source materials. This first volume is published in German, English and Polish and may be purchased separately. Volumes 2 and 3 contain lists of names from A to Z compiled from the entries in the 'Death Books'. Included are name, dates of birth and death, and entry in the 'Death Books'. A supplementary index in volume 3 is based on additional sources, including the list of Jews entering the camp. This information has been compared to the entries in the 'Death Books', endorsing their reliability. Most of these names of prisoners who died in Auschwitz, documentated by the SS administration, have not been published anywhere before and remain a historical source of unique importance.

Remnants of Auschwitz by Giorgio Agamben Pdf

A philosophical study of the testimony of the survivors of Auschwitz.In this book the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben looks closely at the literature of the survivors of Auschwitz, probing the philosophical and ethical questions raised by their testimony. "In its form, this book is a kind of perpetual commentary on testimony. It did not seem possible to proceed otherwise. At a certain point, it became clear that testimony contained at its core an essential lacuna; in other words, the survivors bore witness to something it is impossible to bear witness to. As a consequence, commenting on survivors' testimony necessarily meant interrogating this lacuna or, more precisely, attempting to listen to it. Listening to something absent did not prove fruitless work for this author. Above all, it made it necessary to clear away almost all the doctrines that, since Auschwitz, have been advanced in the name of ethics."--Giorgio Agamben

Inside Concentration Camps by Maja Suderland Pdf

Terror was central to the Nazi regime, and the Nazi concentration camps were places of horror where prisoners were dehumanized and robbed of their dignity and where millions were murdered. How did prisoners cope with the brutal and degrading conditions of life within the camps? In this highly original book Maja Suderland takes the reader inside the concentration camps and examines the everyday social life of prisoners - their daily activities and routines, the social relationships and networks they created and the strategies they developed to cope with the harsh conditions and the brutality of the guards. Without overlooking the violence of the camps, the contradictions of camp life or the elusive complexity of the multicultural prisoner society, Suderland explores the hidden social practices that enabled prisoners to preserve their human dignity and create a sense of individuality and community despite the appalling circumstances. This remarkable account of social life in extreme conditions will be of great interest to students and scholars in history, sociology and the social sciences generally, as well as to a wider readership interested in the Holocaust and the concentration camps.

Death books from Auschwitz : remnants by Staatliches Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau Pdf

Die hier zusammengeführten 46 Bände der sogenannten "Sterbebücher" gehören zu den wenigen erhalten gebliebenen Originaldokumenten aus Auschwitz. Zwischen 27. Juli 1941 und 31. Dezember 1943 sind in ihnen Todesdaten von Auschwitz-Häftlingen verzeichnet. Die fast 69.000 Sterbeeinträge betreffen allerdings nur den kleineren Teil der im Lagerkomplex Auschwitz gestorbenen Häftlinge. Die Dokumentation erscheint in drei Bänden. Im ersten Band, "Berichte", werden die Erfahrungen namhafter Auschwitz-Überlebender veröffentlicht. Ihre Darstellungen der verschiedenen Aspekte des Lagerlebens vermitteln eine tiefe Einsicht in die Mechanismen des SS-Verwaltungsapparats und sind unverzichtbar für die Interpretation der Quelleninhalte. Der erste Band erscheint in deutscher, englischer und polnischer Sprache und ist auch separat zu beziehen. Die Bände 2 und 3 enthalten das Namensverzeichnis der Sterbeeinträge. Aufgeführt sind Name, Geburtsdatum und -ort, Sterbedatum und Nummer des Sterbeeintrags mit Sterbejahr. Ein ergänzendes Register im Band 3 basiert auf zusätzlichen Quellen, u. a. den Zugangslisten der Juden. Diese wurden mit den Daten in den "Sterbebüchern" verglichen und belegen so die Zuverlässigkeit der hier enthaltenen Informationen. Die Mehrzahl dieser durch die SS-Verwaltung dokumentierten Namen von Häftlingen, die in Auschwitz umgekommen sind, ist bisher noch nicht veröffentlicht worden. Die Dokumentation der Sterbebücher von Auschwitz ist somit eine Quelle von einzigartiger Bedeutung.

Jewish Doctors and the Holocaust by Ross W. Halpin Pdf

This is the first attempt to explain how Jewish doctors survived extreme adversity in Auschwitz where death could occur at any moment. The ordinary Jewish slave labourer survived an average of fifteen weeks. Ross Halpin discovers that Jewish doctors survived an average of twenty months, many under the same horrendous conditions as ordinary prisoners. Despite their status as privileged prisoners Jewish doctors starved, froze, were beaten to death and executed. Many Holocaust survivors attest that luck, God and miracles were their saviors. The author suggests that surviving Auschwitz was far more complex. Interweaving the stories of Jewish doctors before and during the Holocaust Halpin develops a model that explains the anatomy of survival. According to his model the genesis of survival of extreme adversity is the will to live which must be accompanied by the necessities of life, specific personal traits and defence mechanisms. For survival all four must co-exist.

Burdens of Proof by Susanna Egan Pdf

Autobiographical impostures, once they come to light, appear to us as outrageous, scandalous. They confuse lived and textual identity (the person in the world and the character in the text) and call into question what we believe, what we doubt, and how we receive information. In the process, they tell us a lot about cultural norms and anxieties. Burdens of Proof: Faith, Doubt, and Identity in Autobiography examines a broad range of impostures in the United States, Canada, and Europe, and asks about each one: Why this particular imposture? Why here and now? Susanna Egan’s historical survey of texts from early Christendom to the nineteenth century provides an understanding of the author in relation to the text and shows how plagiarism and other false claims have not always been regarded as the frauds we consider them today. She then explores the role of the media in the creation of much contemporary imposture, examining in particular the cases of Jumana Hanna, Norma Khouri, and James Frey. The book also addresses ethnic imposture, deliberate fictions, plagiarism, and ghostwriting, all of which raise moral, legal, historical, and cultural issues. Egan concludes the volume with an examination of how historiography and law failed to support the identities of European Jews during World War II, creating sufficient instability in Jewish identity and doubt about Jewish wartime experience that the impostor could step in. This textual erasure of the Jews of Europe and the refashioning of their experiences in fraudulent texts are examples of imposture as an outcrop of extreme identity crisis. The first to examine these issues in North America and Europe, Burdens of Proof will be of interest to scholars of life writing and cultural studies.

Victims and Survivors of Nazi Human Experiments by Paul Weindling Pdf

While the coerced human experiments are notorious among all the atrocities under National Socialism, they have been marginalised by mainstream historians. This book seeks to remedy the marginalisation, and to place the experiments in the context of the broad history of National Socialism and the Holocaust. Paul Weindling bases this study on the reconstruction of a victim group through individual victims' life histories, and by weaving the victims' experiences collectively together in terms of different groupings, especially gender, ethnicity and religion, age, and nationality. The timing of the experiments, where they occurred, how many victims there were, and who they were, is analysed, as are hitherto under-researched aspects such as Nazi anatomy and executions. The experiments are also linked, more broadly, to major elements in the dynamic and fluid Nazi power structure and the implementation of racial policies. The approach is informed by social history from below, exploring both the rationales and motives of perpetrators, but assessing these critically in the light of victim narratives.

The Case for Auschwitz by Robert Jan Van Pelt Pdf

From January to April 2000 historian David Irving brought a high-profile libel case against Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt in the British High Court, charging that Lipstadt’s book, Denying the Holocaust (1993), falsely labeled him a Holocaust denier. The question about the evidence for Auschwitz as a death camp played a central role in these proceedings. Irving had based his alleged denial of the Holocaust in part on a 1988 report by an American execution specialist, Fred Leuchter, which claimed that there was no evidence for homicidal gas chambers in Auschwitz. In connection with their defense, Penguin and Lipstadt engaged architectural historian Robert Jan van Pelt to present evidence for our knowledge that Auschwitz had been an extermination camp where up to one million Jews were killed, mainly in gas chambers. Employing painstaking historical scholarship, van Pelt prepared and submitted an exhaustive forensic report that he successfully defended in cross-examination in court.
