Addressing the remarkable absence of colonial legacy from Pierre Nora's Les Lieux de mémoire, the present volume fosters a new reading of the French past by discerning and exploring an initial repertoire of realms that bridges the gap between traditionally instituted French memory and traces of the colonial on the Republic's soil, including its Outremer.

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, ...

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.

Clodagh Finn has travelled throughout Europe to piece together the story of this remarkable, unknown Irish woman, meeting many of those children Mary Elmes saved. Here, in a book packed with courage, heroism, adventure and tragedy, her story is finally remembered. The children called her 'Miss Mary', and they remember her kindness still. She gave them food and shelter and later risked her life to help them escape the convoys bound for Auschwitz. Turning her back on a brilliant academic career, Mary Elmes ventured into a war zone to help children in the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, she fled Franco's forces but continued to work with refugees in France when the Second World War broke out. In 1942, when it became evident that Jews were being deported to their deaths, she smuggled children to safety in the boot of her car. She was arrested and imprisoned by the Gestapo, but went straight back to work after her release. When the war was over, Mary married and settled down, never speaking about what she had done. Her story was forgotten. In A Time to Risk All her remarkable story is finally remembered as it should be. 'A compelling portrait of an unsung Irish heroine of two wars' Madeleine Keane, Literary Editor, Sunday Independent 'Brings to light the life of Mary Elmes, showing a remarkable, independent and courageous woman whose compassion knew no borders.'

Mary Elmes is the great unsung heroine of modern Ireland. Risking her life to save Jewish children during the Holocaust, she turned her back on a promising academic career to help others. She is the only Irish person to be honoured as Righteous Among the Nations by Israel for this work. In 1937 she travelled to Spain as an aid worker, where she ran children’s hospitals, moving from one bombed-out building to the next in the midst of a horrific civil war. Moving to France after Franco’s victory, she continued to work in the wretched refugee camps hastily thrown together by the French authorities for 500,000 escaping Spanish Republicans. Soon, Jews fleeing the Nazis were also imprisoned in the internment camps. Mary initially sought to relieve the suffering of all the inmates but when the deportations to the east began she worked to save hundreds of Jewish children from the death camps, going so far as to smuggle children out of the camp in her own car. Eventually her actions came to the notice of the collaborationist Vichy government and in 1943 she was arrested by the Gestapo and jailed for six months. The Extraordinary Story of Mary Elmes tells the gripping story of one woman’s heroism during two of the twentieth century’s bloodiest conflicts. It includes a number of interviews with some of those who owe their lives to Mary Elmes, as well as photographs and a wealth of archival material.

Visitor Experience at Holocaust Memorials and Museums is the first volume to offer comprehensive insights into visitor reactions to a wide range of museum exhibitions, memorials, and memory sites. Drawing exclusively upon empirical research, chapters within the book offer critical insights about visitor experience at museums and memory sites in the United States, Poland, Austria, Germany, France, the UK, Norway, Hungary, Australia, and Israel. The contributions to the volume explore visitor experience in all its complexity and argue that visitors are more than just "learners". Approaching visitor experience as a multidimensional phenomenon, the book positions visitor experience within a diverse national, ethnic, cultural, social, and generational context. It also considers the impact of museums’ curatorial and design choices, visitor motivations and expectations, and the crucial role emotions play in shaping understanding of historical events and subjects. By approaching visitors as active interpreters of memory spaces and museum exhibitions, Popescu and the contributing authors provide a much-needed insight into the different ways in which members of the public act as "agents of memory", endowing this history with personal and collective meaning and relevance. Visitor Experience at Holocaust Memorials and Museums offers significant insights into audience motivation, expectation, and behaviour. It is essential reading for academics, postgraduate students and practitioners with an interest in museums and heritage, visitor studies, Holocaust and genocide studies, and tourism.

6th September, 1942: a middle-aged Jewish refugee stands on the Swiss side of the Franco-Swiss border above Geneva. He has been living in Switzerland since he fled Vienna in November 1938, as the Nazi persecution of the city's Jewish population intensified. He is now waiting for the arrival of the wife he has not seen for nearly four years. Against all odds he has managed to get an entry permit for her to join him in Switzerland. She appears on the French side. They see each other. Call out. She begins to cross the few yards of no-mans-land that separate them. An official calls her back. She hesitates, turns, goes back - and is lost forever. This book tells the story of the wartime journey of Toni Schiff, as she ventured across Europe to the this fateful near-meeting at the Franco-Swiss border – and what happened next. Based on the extensive research of her daughter, Kindertransportee Hilda Schiff, and told by Sheila Rosenberg, who shared much of the later research and many of the research journeys, this book sheds light on the lives of one family – caught up in, and ultimately separated by, the tragic and tumultuous events of World War II.
