Atrocity Accounts in Transit
During the Second World War, two Swedish ocean liners brought diplomats, wounded pow s and displaced civilians home to the Americas. The passengers arriving through these Axis-Allied prisoner exchanges were objects of interest not only for the press and families that had been separated by the war but also for intelligence agencies making assessments of enemy resources. A battery of government interviews and questionnaires awaited the newcomers, m…
Calculating war, calculating peace
The history of reconstruction and philanthropic aid efforts in Western Europe after the Second World War ended cannot be fully understood without examining the wartime networks, scientific projects and miscalculations of Allied planners. This case study of a Rockefeller Foundation project in Second World War Britain shows that the war gave scientists studying human nutrition an opportunity to conduct research on an unprecedented scale, with an un…
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…
The Urn and the Swastika
Why did Nazi concentration camps routinely send death notifications and even cremation urns to families of dead prisoners, including Jewish prisoners, until well into the war years? This article challenges the assumption that these practices served solely to provide reassurance that the prisoners had died under ‘normal’ circumstances. In the case of Jewish prisoners, urns sent home for burial to families in the Reich were part and parcel of a sys…
Early post-war Holocaust knowledge and the search for Europe’s missing Jews
Lambertz discusses the post-war failure to trace nearly all missing Jews who had been trapped in Europe during the war, which underlines the extent of Nazi violence. Missing person enquiries provide evidence for how Jewish survivors, refugees and immigrants across the globe understood what had happened during the Nazi era. The correspondence arriving in post-war Jewish community offices across Germany in the late 1940s reveals highly fragmentary …
En quarantaine pendant la guerre froide
Les services d’immigration ont longtemps conservé des territoires spéciaux, détenant parfois les nouveaux arrivants pendant des mois, voire des années. L’un de ces territoires – l’iconique Ellis Island dans le port de New York – a servi depuis les années 1920 de lieu pour détenir les radicaux d’origine étrangère et de point de départ pour nombre d’expulsions. Les longues périodes de détentions ont à la fois bouleversé et renforcé les identités de…
