Les nouveaux négationnismes aux États-Unis
Le négationnisme du génocide arménien à l’ère du numérique les « événements de 1915 » revisités sur Internet
Collaboration »
La culture mémorielle de l’Europe de l’Est a subi une transformation radicale après l’effondrement du communisme, du fait de l’« américanisation » de la Shoah, c’est-à-dire, pour reprendre les termes de Winfried Fluck, spécialiste de la culture allemande, un processus de démocratisation consistant à éradiquer toute complexité afin de rendre accessibles à un vaste public des événements complexes. De nouveaux musées ont été créés pour réécrire l’hi…
Que faire des « indésirables »
This article centres on a comparison of the persecution and dispossession of Jews and forcibly resettled Luxembourgish families, referred to as Abgesiedelte, during the Second World War in Luxembourg. It investigates how the German occupation authorities used the confiscation of property from these groups to foster a sense of allegiance to the German “people’s community” (Volksgemeinschaft) within the territory. Drawing inspiration from the work …
Convois de la mort au départ d’auschwitz en janvier 1945 à destination du protectorat de Bohême-Moravie
Essor de la culture nazie au Luxembourg et aryanisation des biens appartenant à des Juifs
The cultural policy conducted by the German administration in Luxembourg impacted many aspects of the artistic life of the territory, through Germanization of the arts (support or exclusion of artists, propaganda exhibitions, and lectures). The persecution of the Jews also played a role in this process. Jewish artists and art dealers were dispossessed, some even deported, and some Jewish stores were converted into exhibition spaces celebrating th…

Continuité dans la répression et l’exploitation des Roms revenus de déportation en Transnistrie
The topic of the return to Romania of Roma deported to Transnistria during the Holocaust in Romania little discussed in the literature. What was the legal status of the Roma when they reached Romania, and what measures were taken by the authorities in regard to the returnees? This article aims to examine these questions, emphasizing the continuity of repression and exploitation of the returning Roma in the territory of the former Romania. Taking …
Jouer pour le public
Scholarship about French Manouches often emphasizes prohibitions on speaking about past traumas and the dead, but there are exceptions to this silence. This article explores instances in which Manouche musicians are publicly vocal about death and trauma in prior generations. Their outspokenness is particularly evident in recent public-facing musical works that commemorate the Nazi genocide of Roma people. The producers of these works self-conscio…

La rétention de l’information en provenance de Pologne, 1941-1942
This article investigates the timeline of information the Vatican received from occupied Poland regarding the persecution and mass killing of Jews between June 1941 and October 1942. It outlines the communication channels between occupied Poland and the Holy See, assessing their dependability and trustworthiness. Additionally, it explores what these sources conveyed about the unfolding Holocaust and analyzes how the Holy See responded to this int…
Les procès des crimes de guerre nazis, le Vatican et la question de la justice après la guerre
Based on newly released archival evidence, this paper discusses the Vatican’s reactions to Nazi war crime trials and the papal alternatives to international criminal justice policies in the wake of World War II. Catholic leaders called for a rejection of Nazi teachings and a return to Christ and Christian values as a way to mend postwar society. At the same time, the Vatican and prominent Catholic leaders strongly condemned anything they perceive…
En marge du génocide
Like many other countries in Europe, Sweden and Norway have a dark chapter of ignominious history involving discrimination targeting the Roma people. However, less is known about the fate of Roma people in Scandinavia during World War II, especially genocidal plans regarding the Roma and the Resande in Nazi-occupied Norway, as well as the 1942 Swedish government plan “to solve the Gypsy problem.” How strange were the ideas of Nazi racial anti-Gyp…
Monseigneur Angelo Dell’Acqua et la Shoah
The recent Vatican archives release for Pius XII’s papacy has revealed Angelo Dell’Acqua’s significant role. Initially a low-ranking Secretariat of State member, he handled affairs regarding Jews in Europe from the late 1930s through World War II and after. Despite no clear Jewish expertise, Pius XI and Pius XII tapped him to address appeals from persecuted Jews and requests for papal condemnations of Jewish persecution and extermination efforts.…
Le Zigeunertransport du camp de transit de Westerbork
This article presents a proposal for an internationally embedded historiography of the Sinti and Roma from the Netherlands in German concentration camps that includes the insights offered by memory studies and new ways of analyzing oral testimony, interviews, and written memories. Through extensive genealogical exploration and research using the administrative records of concentration camps, the article aims to initiate and stimulate a historiogr…
La rafle de la rue Sainte-Catherine, Lyon, février 1943
On February 9, 1943, in the occupied French city of Lyon, the Gestapo raided the second floor of a nondescript building in the alleyway of Rue Sainte-Catherine. Here, at the Lyon office of the Union générale des israélites de France (UGIF), they arrested 86 Jews. Most were sent to the extermination camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau and Sobibor in nine different convoys in 1943. Three of the deportees survived the war.The Rue Sainte-Catherine raid, Lyon…
Préservation, expropriation, destruction
The historic city limits of Vienna surround four Jewish cemeteries that have survived the caprices of time and human agency in varying states of disrepair since the early modern period, with individual gravestones dating back to the High Middle Ages. These cemeteries encompass not only some of the oldest preserved grave sites in Vienna and, more broadly, Central Europe, but also hold the collected memories of Vienna’s historically significant Jew…
Les biens appartenant aux Juifs. Démocratie ethnique et Shoah, 1944-1946
In the final years of World War II, the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany became widely known in the West. The information, however delayed and fragmentary, reached the exiled representatives of Polish Jewry and the Polish authorities alike, triggering reflections on both sides about the initial implications of the massacre of the nation’s community of three million Jews. One of these implications was the unresolved question of Jewish property…
Avant la « Solution finale ». Vers une histoire mondiale de la « Question juive » nazie, 1919-1945
When historians discuss the so-called “Jewish Question” (Judenfrage), it is almost always framed as a direct prelude to the “Final Solution” (Endlösung). By focusing on the Holocaust, it is often overlooked that the Final Solution emerged very late in the history of the Jewish Question. There was no comprehensive plan to murder European Jews until the start of Operation Reinhard in the winter and spring of 1941-1942, more than nine years after th…
Des précurseurs de la collecte de documents au procès Barbie et au-delà
This article analyzes the journey of the so-called Izieu telegram –a telegram sent by Nazi perpetrator Klaus Barbie to report the raid of a Jewish children’s home in France to his superiors— from its creation to its use in multiple transitional justice mechanisms, including an international military tribunal, domestic trials in France, and various memorialization projects. In doing so the authors apply the concepts of activation and the records c…
Rouvrir les charniers dans la Pologne d’après-guerre
This article analyzes the material history of “body disposal pits” containing the remains of WWII victims. The authors focus on two specific locations of mass killings that occurred during the Holocaust, namely the site of the former death camp in Sobibór and Krępiecki Forest, an area near the ghetto and camp in rural Lublin where people were killed and buried. Both sites are located in forested areas near small villages in eastern Poland. Though…
Réfutation du livre The Betrayal of Anne Frank ( Qui a Trahi Anne Frank ?) de Rosemary Sullivan
The publication on January 17, 2022 of a book entitled The Betrayal of Anne Frank by best-selling author Rosemary Sullivan, claiming to “understand what triggered the roundup of August 4, 1944,” during which the young diarist was arrested and deported, has caused a shockwave and controversy. The book’s thesis pointed to a “traitor,” Arnold van den Bergh, a Jewish notary, humanitarian activist, and member of the Jewish Council. Rigorous research b…
Une querelle souterraine
During the Nazi era, the role and boundaries of Jewish cemeteries underwent profound change. The places where Jews could grieve and honor their dead were utterly ransacked. This article focuses primarily on the upheavals that occurred in the Reich’s cemeteries under the Nazi regime. It then deals with a post-war conflict in Fulda where the JRSO, a major Jewish restitution organization, fought to recover the town’s former Jewish cemetery in its en…

La diplomatie française, les Juifs et les Arabes
La clé a sombré
La société israélienne et la Shoah
The article discusses the growing corpus of literary works written by Israeli second generation writers, in the context of the Israeli collective memory of the events of WWII. It shows this literature to constitute a reaction to previous tendencies to repress the memories of the catastrophe. The literary characters it portrays, mostly second generation themselves, very often grow up in an atmosphere of suppression. The hidden stories, however, em…
La nouvelle littérature de la Shoah
The first four decades of Israel’s existence were maked by a cultural code that inhibited a literary engagement with the human experiences of the Holocaust. Since the mid-1980s, a growing number of Israel writers have attempted to textualize the horrific experiences of the Holocaust so as to make them tangible to the imagination and available to emotion and to thought. Each includes an unflinching encounter with the agonies of the concentrationar…
Discours de deuil et de renaissance
Both Leah Goldberg’s play Lady of the Castle (1954) and Shulamith Hareven’s short story The Witness (1980) illustrate the failure of the Israeli to come to terms with the horror of the Holocaust. The play presents the story of Lena, a Holocaust orphan, who is rescued by members of the Israeli Yishuv from a Castle where she was kept hidden away during the war. The conflict that emerges runs counter the popular myth of the Holocaust victim embracin…
Agnon a-t-il écrit sur la Shoah
Guerre barbare
Pillage et (non) restitution des œuvres d’art aux Pays-Bas (1940-2001)
The German system of looting in the Netherlands during the World War II has been remarkably systematic and it were mostly Jews who fell victim to the greed of the German occupiers. The expropriations in the Low Countries were generally based on decrees (Verordnungen) which had the force of statute law. The looting of art has been a special chapter in the history of spoliation. Adolf Hitler and the second man of the Reich, Hermann Goring, were bot…
Allianz Versicherung sous le Troisième Reich
While the initial interest in the history of the Allianz insurance company and the insurance industry in the 1933-1945 was inspired by the problem of unpaid and confiscated Jewish insurance policies, there are numerous other issues that are of no less and perhaps greater importance in dealing with insurance history in the Nazi period. These included collaboration with the regime in domestic and business politics, especially during the Pogrom of N…
Salazar face à la Shoah
In recent years, our understanding of Portugal’s part in the Holocaust has increased immeasurably, thanks to the work of a number of determined historians. Portugal became an important, if not quite attractive, point of passage for Jews fleeing the European continent after the fall of France in 1940, a year in which thousands of refugees passed through its border. Some, having nowhere to go, remained for a time, forced to live in the country’s em…

La neutralité irlandaise, la Shoah et la Seconde Guerre mondiale
The policy of Irish neutrality during World War Two was implemented in a most punctilious fashion by the Taoiseach, Eamon de Valera, and the Irish government. The opposition parties, Fine Gael and Labour, supported de Valera, and rooted the policy in a bipartisan agreement for the duration of the war. However strict de Valera appeared to interpret his obligations as a neutral, recent research demonstrates that the Irish government operated a two-…
I.4. L’affaire Peter Trawny
The recent publication of the first three volumes of Heidegger’s “Black Notebooks” ( Gesamtausgabe volumes 94-96) has given rise to a new genre of apologetics. In seeking to minimize or deny the philosopher’s intellectual support for Third Reich criminality, his more vehement supporters have perpetuated the Master’s obfuscations and dissemblance. One finds a particularly egregious instance of these practices in the case of two recent “essays” by …
