Drawing on the extensive memoir literature of Jews who survived the Nazi period in France, Zuccotti paints a collective portrait of the victims, of those who tried to help them, of those who persecuted them and of the vast majority of French people who looked the other way. Zuccotti concludes that “benign neglect, vague goodwill, and, occasionally, active support” helped three-quarters of French Jews survive, while almost half of foreign-born Jews living under Nazi occupation or in the Vichy government “free” zone were sent to extermination camps with the active help of the French authorities. “Valuable and lucid. [...] Susan Zucccotti's book is admirable in many important ways.” — Patrice Higonnet, New York Times Book Review “Ms. Zuccotti combines vivid narrative with the most scrupulous historical accuracy. It is good to be able to enter the helpful gestures of many French individuals into the scales against the unspeakable actions of many Vichy officials and zealots.” — Robert O. Paxton, Mellon Professor of the Social Sciences, Columbia University, author ofVichy France: Old Guard and New Order, 1940-1944 “Dr. Zuccotti’s book, admirably balanced and free of bias, is a rich and compassionate study of the plight of Jews in France during World War II.” — Léon Poliakov, Honorary Director of Research, Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) “In a vividly narrated reexamination of the historical record, Zuccotti tells the horrifying story of the fate of French Jews at the hands of the Nazis and their Vichy collaborators. [...] A balanced yet heartrending contribution to Holocaust literature.” —Kirkus Review “Zuccotti forces us to rethink the French response to the Holocaust in this challenging book” — Publishers Weekly “By use of precise examples, Zuccotti is able to illustrate the human side and contribute to a new understanding of [the fate of France’s Jewish population during World War II]” — American Historical Review “Ms. Zuccotti finds France to be a nation which, in time of crisis, showed itself to be made up of a handful of villains, a few magnificent heroes and a vast assortment of the cowardly, the apathetic and the self-serving.” — Forward “Zuccotti presents the most comprehensive account of the Holocaust in France available to the English reader.” — Paula Hyman, Yale University, Journal of Interdisciplinary History “An excellent narrative.” — Choice, American Library Association “Zuccotti has made a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust in France. Above all, she has illuminated in fascinating detail the extraordinary range of organizational and individual responses.” — Journal of Modern History “Zuccotti’s account investigates the popular responses of the French to the measures offered and implemented by [Vichy] officials... an essential tool for gaining a more complete understanding of Vichy France and the Holocaust” — Anne Higgins,University of Vermont History Review “This is an important work of 20th-century history. It is admirably researched, but remains lucid. It is, of necessity, sometimes harrowing, but illuminates moments of selfless heroism. Above all, it details a period of French history which has for too long been known to foreigners in only the broadest outlines... This is a valuable book deserving a wide readership.” — Morning Star “[Zuccotti’s] book is replete with personal histories and memories, culled from a very wide reading in the growing library of autobiographies, memoirs, and monographs dealing with this period.” — Tony Judt, New York Review of Books

Die Lager Gurs und Rivesaltes als Vorstationen von Auschwitz Je weiter die Ereignisse der Holocaust-Schoáh, der Holocaust-Katastrophe, der Katastrophe der Katastrophen, sich zeitlich zu entfernen und in der Vergangenheit zu entschwinden scheinen, desto näher rücken sie in die Gegenwart herein. Denn vielleicht wissen wir heute tatsächlich ein bisschen mehr als noch vor einer Generation. Das gilt auch für die beispiellose "Abschiebung" der südwestdeutschen Juden am 22. Oktober 1940 nach Frankreich, die erste derartige NS-Aktion gegen deutsche Juden im deutschen Reich überhaupt. 82 Jahre danach leben nur noch sehr wenige der jüngsten Deportierten als Augen- und Zeitzeugen, denen der damalige Alptraum allerdings ganz gegenwärtig geblieben ist. Für alle Jüngeren wird eigentlich schon seit gestern die Erinnerungsarbeit noch wichtiger, sei es in Form von Stolper-steinen oder Stolperbüchern oder Stolpervorträgen wie der heutige, bei dem ich in folgender Abfolge berichten möchte: 1. Vorgeschichten seit 1920 2. Zur Oktoberdeportation 1940 3. Hilfe für die Deportierten 1940/42 4. Ärzte, Schwestern, Kinder 1940/42 5. Zur Holocaust-Schoáh seit 1942 6.

This open access collection of essays explores the emotional agency of images in the construction of ‘humanitarian crises’ from the nineteenth century to the present. Using the prism of the histories of emotions and the senses, the chapters examine the pivotal role images have in shaping cultural, social and political reactions to the suffering of others and to the establishment of the international networks of solidarity. Questioning certain emotions assumed to underlie humanitarianism such as sympathy, empathy and compassion, they demonstrate how the experience of such emotions has shifted over time. Understanding images as emotional objects, contributors from a wide horizon of disciplines explore how their production, circulation and reception has been crucial to the perception of humanitarian crises in a long-term historical perspective.

Accounts of significant sites in Hungary, Vichy France, Italy, and other nations, part of the multi-volume reference praised as a “staggering achievement” (Jewish Daily Forward). This third volume in the monumental seven-volume encyclopedia, prepared by the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, offers a comprehensive account of camps and ghettos in, or run by, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Vichy France (including North Africa). Each entry discusses key events in the history of the ghetto; living and working conditions; activities of the Jewish Councils; Jewish responses to persecution; demographic changes; and details of the ghetto’s liquidation. Personal testimonies help convey the character of each ghetto, while source citations provide a guide to additional information. Documentation of hundreds of smaller sites—previously unknown or overlooked in the historiography of the Holocaust—make this an indispensable reference work on the destroyed Jewish communities of Eastern Europe.

Aus der Einleitung von Michèle Fleury-Seemuller Zeichen der Hoffnung Fast fünfzig Jahre lang blieb das Tagebuch von Friedel Bohny-Reiter in der Schublade liegen. Als ich mir bewußt wurde, daß es verschwinden könnte und man nie davon erfahren würde, daß eine junge Schweizer Frau 1942 in einem Interniertenlager im Süden Frankreichs als Krankenschwester gearbeitet hat, wollte ich sie kennenlernen. Ich besuchte sie in Basel, wo sie seit vielen Jahren mit ihrem Mann wohnt, den sie seinerzeit in Frankreich kennenlernte. Sie ist achtzig Jahre alt und malt - viele Landschaften, die Wüste Algeriens, die Camargue, Erinnerungen ihrer zahlreichen Reisen - und heute noch Bilder vom Lager in Rivesaltes. Sie schreibt weiter in ihrem Tagebuch, wie sie es seit ihrer Jugend tut. Sie vertraute mir zwei dicke Schulhefte an, ein blaues und ein braunes. Das erste beginnt mit einer Notiz vom 6. Juli 1940 in Florenz, wo Friedel als Kinderschwester in einer italienischen Familie arbeitete und endet mit dem 13. Dezember 1941 im Interniertenlager in Rivesaltes. Das andere, viel dicker, handelt fast ausschließlich von ihrer Arbeit im Lager bis zu dessen Schließung Ende 1942. Ich war tief berührt, als ich diese Hefte las. In meiner Hand war ein Dokument, das von einer schrecklichen Zeit sprach. Tag für Tag notiert Friedel das Leiden der Internierten - ihren Kampf gegen Krankheit, Schmutz, Unterernährung und vom August 1942 an gegen den Abtransport der Juden - Männer, Frauen und Kinder -, der in die Todeslager führte. Zugleich entdeckte ich in der Autorin eine junge Frau, die nicht aufhörte, in diesem Elend ein Zeichen der Hoffnung zu suchen, die sich über einen Strauß Papierblumen freute, den ihr ein Kind hingestreckt hatte, über einen Sonnenaufgang, über Hündchen, die im Lager geboren werden. Als die Spannungen am größten waren, lernte sie August Bohny kennen, ihren künftigen Mann, der in Chambon-sur-Lignon für die Heime der Kinderhilfe verantwortlich war. Es handelt sich also um ein richtiges Tagebuch, worin man alles niederschreibt, ein Tagebuch einer erstaunlichen Frau, die sich in einer außergewöhnlichen Situation befand. Je weiter mich meine Lektüre führte, desto dringender schien es mir, diese Geschichte mit anderen teilen zu müssen. Friedel Bohny-Reiter zögerte lange, ihr Einverständnis zur Veröffentlichung zu geben. Sie zweifelte daran, das ihr altes Tagebuch für andere interessant sein könnte; sie fand es zu persönlich, ...

In April-May 1940 the German Wehrmacht invaded Northern and Western Europe. The subsequent occupation of Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and France brought the Jewish population of these countries – both established residents and refugees – under German control. From autumn 1941 in Luxembourg and from spring/summer 1942 in Belgium, the Netherlands and occupied France, Jews were required to wear the ‘Jewish star’ and many were subjected to forced labour. By mid-1942, deportations from Luxembourg and France to the ghettos and extermination camps in occupied Eastern Europe had already begun, while in the other occupied countries they were imminent. In April 1942 Alfred Oppenheimer, the Jewish elder in Luxembourg, wrote: ‘A dreadful fate hangs over our community again. The worst that can happen has now happened and the Poland transport is a certainty.’ This volume covers Norway and Western Europe during the period from the German invasion to mid 1942 (developments in Denmark for this period are documented in vol. 12) and records how Jews in these parts of Europe were excluded from society and stripped of their rights, livelihoods, and property. Letters and diary entries by the persecuted Jews detail life under German occupation and the attempts by many Jews to emigrate. The sources show how Jewish organizations sought to alleviate the impact of persecution, and how the German occupiers and local collaborators targeted Jews with increasingly stringent measures and clamped down on any form of resistance.

Contents: The title of the book 'In Transit'-as a reference to the novel written by Anna Seghers-functions on two levels: On a narrative level, it is a primary metaphor for the fate of all German Jews who fled from the Third Reich and found themselves in France doubly stigmatized as Germans-the despised boches-and as juifs. On another level, 'In Transit' offers perspectives on the Occupation of France and the Vichy regime-the so-called Dark Years-that have not been part of the Vichy debate. So how did German Jews who fled from Nazi Germany to France narrate and document their experiences? This book tells their stories, and in a sense brings them back home to Germany, where they always wanted to belong. It is high time to bring these narratives out of exile and place them firmly on the ground of the Vichy regime. The Author: Ruth Schwertfeger is Professor of German at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her dissertation at Oxford on the German Expressionist Georg Kaiser led to her engagement with exile studies and with the Holocaust. Schwertfeger is the author of Women of Theresienstadt and Else Lasker-Sch ler, both published by Berg Publishers, Oxford and The Wee Wild One: Stories of Belfast and Beyond, published by the University of Wisconsin Press.

The story of the French Resistance is central to French identity, but it is a story built on myths. 'La Résistance française' was not simply a national effort to free the country from German occupation, but a wider struggle, filled with conflicts and division. It included Spanish republicans, Italian and even German anti-Nazis. The defence against the Holocaust brought in Jewish resisters and Christian rescuers. It involved a civil war for the French Empire in Africa and the Near East. The movement itself was split between those on the far right and the far left, fighting for very different visions of the world. Robert Gildea returns to the testimonies of the resisters themselves, asking who they were, what they believed in and what compelled them to take the terrible risks they did. He brings to the fore the woman resisters, who history neglected. By looking again at the constructions and interplay of the myths surrounding the resistance, Gildea builds a vivid, gripping and entirely new account of one of the most compelling narratives of the Second World War.

Im Mai 1940 überfiel die Deutsche Wehrmacht die Staaten Nord- und Westeuropas und besetzte sie weitgehend. Einheimische und die bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt nach Norwegen, in die Niederlande, nach Belgien, Luxemburg oder Frankreich geflüchteten Juden fielen jetzt unter deutsche Herrschaft. 1942 waren die Juden in allen Ländern Westeuropas zum Tragen des "Judensterns" verpflichtet, Zwangsarbeit war für Juden die Regel. In Frankreich und Luxemburg hatten die Deportationen in die Gettos und Vernichtungslager bereits begonnen, in den anderen Ländern standen sie unmittelbar bevor. Dieser Band dokumentiert für die Zeit vom deutschen Einmarsch bis Mitte 1942 die schrittweise Entrechtung der Juden, ihre Isolation und die Zerstörung ihrer Existenzgrundlage mittels Berufsverboten und Enteignung. In Briefen und Tagebüchern schildern die verfolgten Juden das Leben unter deutscher Besatzung und die Versuche, diesem Leben durch Emigration doch noch zu entkommen. Die Dokumente zeigen, wie sich jüdische Organisationen bemühten, die Auswirkungen der Verfolgung zu mildern, und wie deutsche Machthaber aber auch einheimische Kollaborateure das Leben der Juden immer stärker reglementierten und jeden Widerstand zu ersticken suchten. Auf der Basis der Edition realisiert der Bayerische Rundfunk die dokumentarische Höredition „Die Quellen sprechen“, die in Staffeln gesendet wird und unter www.die-quellen-sprechen.de nachzuhören ist.
