The Holocaust in Central European Literatures and Cultures
Author: Reinhard Ibler
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 3838269527
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Relating the Holocaust to poetic and aesthetic phenomena has often been considered taboo, as only authentic testimony, documents, or at least ‘unliterary’, prosaic approaches were seen as appropriate. However, from the very beginning of Holocaust literature and culture, there were tendencies towards literarization, poetization, and ornamentalization. Nowadays, aesthetic approaches—also in provocative, taboo-breaking ways—are more and more frequently encountered and seen as important ways to evoke the attention required to keep the cataclysm alive in popular memory. The essays in this volume use examples predominantly from Polish, Czech, and German Holocaust literature and culture to discuss this controversial subject. Topics include the poetry of concentration camp detainees, lyrical poetry about the Holocaust, poetic tendencies in narrative literature and drama, ornamental prose about the Holocaust, and the devices and functions of aestheticization in Holocaust literature and culture.

Der Holocaust - Ein Thema für den Sachunterricht der Grundschule?
Author: Cindy Munz
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3640237897
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Didactics - History, grade: 1,0, University of Education Ludwigsburg, course: Von der Vorlesung zur Unterrichtsstunde. Geschichtsdidaktische Grundfragen. Seminar zu außerschulischen Lernorten., language: English, abstract: Der Holocaust stellt für die Geschichte nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg (1939-1945) ein zentrales Thema dar. Wenn es um die Festlegung der deutschen Identität nach 1945 geht, so wird immer wieder – direkt oder indirekt – Bezug auf dieses Thema genommen. Deshalb ist die Frage, ob der Holocaust bereits in der Grundschule zur Themenauswahl stehen sollte, keineswegs rhetorisch. Auch wenn mittlerweile knapp 60 Jahre seit diesem Völkermord verstrichen sind, ist dieses Thema für uns allgegenwärtig. Sei es beispielsweise durch die Medien, die über die Verwüstung jüdischer Friedhöfe oder die Gewalt von Rechtsradikalen gegenüber Ausländern, berichten. Jedoch wird immer wieder versucht, dieses „Thema von [...] Kindern fernzuhalten“ und zu tabuisieren. Der Philosoph und Soziologe Theodor W. Adorno formulierte in Bezug darauf folgendes Ziel von Erziehung: „Die Forderung, dass Auschwitz nicht noch einmal sei, ist die allererste an Erziehung. Es [...] war die Barbarei, gegen die alle Erziehung geht. [...] Da aber die Charaktere insgesamt [...] nach den Kenntnissen der Tiefenpsychologie schon in der frühen Kindheit sich bilden, so hat Erziehung, welche die Wiederholung verhindern will, auf die frühe Kindheit sich zu konzentrieren.“ In der vorliegenden Arbeit stellt sich nun die Frage, inwieweit die Grundschule dies erfüllen oder einen Beitrag dazu leisten kann. Abgesehen davon gilt es zu diskutieren, ob und auf welche Art und weise Kinder bereits im Grundschulalter mit dem Thema Holocaust konfrontiert werden und welches die Ziele einer Erziehung sein sollen, die eine Verhinderung eines „zweiten Auschwitz“ zum Hauptziel hat.

Germans and Jews Since The Holocaust
Author: Pól Ó Dochartaigh
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 135030722X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
From the very moment of the liberation of camps at Auschwitz, Belsen and Buchenwald, Germans have been held accountable for the crimes committed in the Holocaust. The Nazi regime unleashed the most systematic attempt in history to wipe out an entire people, murdering men, women and children for the simple 'crime' of being Jewish. After the war ended in 1945, the Jewish State of Israel was created and Jewish communities were re-established in a now divided Germany. Germans have engaged actively with their Nazi legacy and the Jewish communities have remained and grown stronger, but neo-Nazism has also persisted. Young Germans have learned the horrific deeds of the past at school, and throughout the world, people of all nations have tried to learn the lesson 'never again', while Germany has become 'Israel's best friend in Europe'. Pól Ó Dochartaigh analyses the ways in which Germans and Jews alike have attempted to come to terms with the Holocaust and its terrible legacy. He also looks at efforts to remember – and to forget – the Holocaust, movement towards recompense and reparation, and the survival of anti-Semitism.

German Protestants Remember the Holocaust
Author: K. Hannah Holtschneider
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 9783825855390
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Focusing on the 1980s-90s, examines how Protestants in Germany interpret their self-understanding as part of the community which is defined by its connection to the Nazi past. Analyzes representations of the Holocaust and of the Christian-Jewish relationship in three German Protestant theological texts: the 1980 statement of the Rhineland synod of the Evangelical Church "Zur Erneuerung des Verhältnisses von Christen und Juden"; Marquardt's theological text "Von Elend und Heimsuchung der Theologie: Prolegomena zur Dogmatik" (1992); and Britta Jüngst's dissertation "Auf der Seite des Todes das Leben" (1996). The analysis of these texts is informed by the development of narratives of collective memory of the Holocaust in German society in the 1980s-90s, from the miniseries "Holocaust" to the Goldhagen controversy. All three texts admit the responsibility of Christianity and Christians for the Holocaust and build theologies that do not reject Jews. Contends that, contrary to their stated intentions, most Holocaust theologians do not truly listen to the Jewish perspective. Calls on practitioners of "theology after Auschwitz" to embrace Jews and Judaism in order to restore the credibility of Christian Churches which abandoned the Jews in Auschwitz.

A History of Jews in Germany Since 1945
Author: Michael Brenner
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253029295
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
A comprehensive account of Jewish life in a country that carries the legacy of being at the epicenter of the Holocaust. Originally published in German in 2012, this comprehensive history of Jewish life in postwar Germany provides a systematic account of Jews and Judaism from the Holocaust to the early 21st Century by leading experts of modern German-Jewish history. Beginning in the immediate postwar period with a large concentration of Eastern European Holocaust survivors stranded in Germany, the book follows Jews during the relative quiet period of the 50s and early 60s during which the foundations of new Jewish life were laid. Brenner’s volume goes on to address the rise of anti-Israel sentiments after the Six Day War as well as the beginnings of a critical confrontation with Germany’s Nazi past in the late 60s and early 70s, noting the relatively small numbers of Jews living in Germany up to the 90s. The contributors argue that these Jews were a powerful symbolic presence in German society and sent a meaningful signal to the rest of the world that Jewish life was possible again in Germany after the Holocaust. “This volume, which illuminates a multi-faceted panorama of Jewish life after 1945, will remain the authoritative reading on the subject for the time to come.” —Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung “An eminently readable work of history that addresses an important gap in the scholarship and will appeal to specialists and interested lay readers alike.” —Reading Religion “Comprehensive, meticulously researched, and beautifully translated.” —CHOICE

Jews in German Literature since 1945
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900448552X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 704
Book Description
This volume contains some 46 essays on various aspects of contemporary German-Jewish literature. The approaches are diverse, reflecting the international origins of the contributors, who are based in seventeen different countries. Holocaust literature is just one theme in this context; others are memory, identity, Christian-Jewish relations, anti-Zionism, la belle juive, and more. Prose, poetry and drama are all represented, and there is a major debate on the controversial attempt to stage Fassbinder’s Der Müll, die Stadt und der Tod in 1985. The overall approach of the volume is an inclusive one. In his introduction, the editor calls for a reappraisal of the terms of German-Jewish discourse away from the notion of ‘Germans’ and ‘Jews’ and towards the idea that both Jews and non-Jews, all of them Germans, have contributed to the corpus of ‘German-Jewish literature’.

Catastrophe and Meaning
Author: Moishe Postone
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 9780226676104
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
How should we understand the relation of the Holocaust to the broader historical processes of the century just ended? How do we explain the bearing of the Holocaust on problems of representation, memory, memorialization, and historical practice? These are some of the questions explored by an esteemed group of scholars in Catastrophe and Meaning, the most significant multiauthored book on the Holocaust in over a decade. This collection features essays that consider the role of anti-Semitism in the recounting of the Holocaust; the place of the catastrophe in the narrative of twentieth-century history; the questions of agency and victimhood that the Holocaust inspires; the afterlife of trauma in literature written about the tragedy; and the gaps in remembrance and comprehension that normal historical works fail to notice. Contributors: Omer Bartov, Dan Diner, Debòrah Dwork, Saul Friedländer, Geoffrey Hartman, Dominick LaCapra, Paul Mendes-Flohr, Anson Rabinbach, Frank Trommler, Shulamit Volkov, Froma Zeitlin
