Der israelische Historiker, einer der wichtigsten Holocaust-Forscher unserer Zeit, schildert die Situation in Israel nach dem Massaker der Hamas am 7. Oktober 2023 - ein Rezensionsgespräch über dieses Zeitdokument (C.H. Beck) / Alexander Schimmelbusch und sein Roman "Karma" (Rowohlt) / "Unten auf der Piazza" - ein großer Roman der italienischen Schriftstellerin Dolores Prato ist erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung erschienen (Hanser) / "Kalte Füße" - Francesca Melandris Roman gibt es ab dieser Woche als Hörbuch-Podcast, gelesen von Nina Kunzendorf, in der ARD-Audiothek / Das literarische Rätsel
Mit einem großen Fest wollten die Israelis heute vor einem Jahr den letzten ihrer jüdischen Feiertage, Simchat Tora, feiern. Nach Rosch Haschana, dem Neujahrsfest, und Jom Kippur, dem Versöhnungstag. Aber es kam anders, wie wir heute wissen. In den frühen Morgenstunden des 7. Oktober 2023 begann der terroristische Angriff der Hamas auf Israel: mit Raketenbeschuss, Überschreiten der Sperranlagen, einem Massaker auf ein Musikfestival im Süden Israels und zahlreichen Verschleppungen und Folter. Der renommierte Historiker und Pulitzer-Preisträger Saul Friedländer, zu diesem Zeitpunkt 90 Jahre alt, wollte nach seinen zahlreichen Bestsellern eigentlich kein neues Buch mehr über Israel schreiben. Nach den Ereignissen dieses Tages nahm er jedoch Stift und Zettel wieder zur Hand und dokumentierte. In dieser Woche, am 10. Oktober, erscheinen seine Aufzeichnungen: “Israel im Krieg. Ein Tagebuch”. Frank Dietschreit hat es gelesen.
Le billet d'humeur d'Annette Levy-Willard.
In 1997, Saul Friedländer emphasized the need for an integrated history of the Holocaust. His suggestion to connect ‘the policies of the perpetrators, the attitudes of surrounding society, and the world of the victims' provides the inspiration for this volume. Following in these footsteps, this innovative study approaches Holocaust history through a combination of macro analysis with micro studies. Featuring a range of contemporary research from emerging scholars in the field, New Microhistorical Approaches to an Integrated History of the Holocaust (de Gruyter, 2023) provides detailed engagement with a variety of historical sources, such as documents, artifacts, photos, or text passages. The contributors investigate particular aspects of sound, materiality, space and social perceptions to provide a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, which have often been overlooked or generalised in previous historical research. Yet, as we approach an era of no first hand witnesses, this multidisciplinary, micro-historical approach remains a fundamental aspect of Holocaust research, and can provide a theoretical framework for future studies.

Pulitzer Prize–winning historian and UCLA Professor Emeritus Saul Friedländer returns to memoir to recount a tale of intellectual coming-of-age on three continents. In Where Memory Leads: My Life, a sequel to Friedländer’s poignant first memoir, Where Memory Comes, published forty years ago and recently reissued with a new introduction from Claire Messud, he bridges the gap between the ordeals of his childhood during the German Occupation of France and his present-day towering reputation in the field of Holocaust studies. Reflecting on the wrenching events that induced him to devote sixteen years of his life to writing his masterpiece, The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945, Friedländer discusses this book and his life’s work with historian Steven J. Ross.For photos from the program, click here.

Victims, survivors, and their descendants transmit the power of moral remainders. This intuition echoes in unison Václav Havel’s 1978 dissident statement from behind the former Iron Curtain and Herebert Marcuse’s appeal to Walter Benjamin’s postsecular faith that the dominance of one-dimensional thinking can be resisted: The moral power of the powerless resides in those without hope and power for whose sake hope is given to us. I wish to meditate on memory and hope as transgenerational moral remainders. Home Page at http://www.public.asu.edu/~mmatusti/index.htm In a book chapter on “Redemption in an Antiredemptory Age” (Radical Evil and the Scarcity of Hope, 2008), I examined two contrary types of museums, the Nazi project in 1942-45 to convert Prague Central Jewish Museum into a pan-European showpiece for the extermination of the Jewish race and Daniel Libeskind’s counter-monumental museums in Berlin and Copenhagen. The Nazi museum project endeavored to rewrite the past through celebrating the annihilating deed. A memorial dedicated to spiritual genocide would actively block hope across future generations. This intangible dimension of genocide is appropriately described by Saul Friedländer’s notion of “redemptive anti-Semitism.” This brand of racial hatred can be characterized as “redemptive” in the contrarian and theologically perverse sense evoked by designing a museum dedicated to an anti-resurrection (or inverse redemptive beliefs that would serve the annihilation of the future. In this presentation, I will consider two sets of counter-factual yet real life difficulties that illustrate, one, the dynamic of a conscience which forgives itself without shame and, two, the fabrication of historical evidence against future forgiveness. The first set of difficulties arises in “The Conscience Of Nhem En” (Okazaki 2008), the story of a photographer who at 16 recorded faces of prisoners who came through Tuol Sleng Prison during the reign of Khmer Rouge. The second set of difficulties steps out of the frame of the documentary montage, “A Film Unfinished” (2010), called by the Nazis “The Ghetto,” that the propagandist filmmakers shot and cut in 1942 as their testimony about Jewish life in Warsaw. The Nazi Ghetto film and the Prague Jewish museum project (1942-45) represent inverted uses of cultural studies and critical theory that are deployed to manipulate memory and the future. The desire to take the holy out of the holy while retaining shells of the holy mark the most overt strategies of spiritual or “redemptive” hatred. The complaint against critical theory that dominates some 1,500 pages of the recent Norwegian manifesto of Anders Breivik should be addressed to these abuses of memory and culture; indeed, that text’s collage of moral and pious verbiage is underwritten by the rhetoric of hate. In my conclusion, I will pose for a moment of silence at the postmemorials that blush whenever futures forget moral remainders. Un/forgiving memory and counter/redemptive hope practice mindfulness against human temptations to underwrite heavens and last judgments with a theodicy. The Conscience of Nhem En (2008) & A Film Unfinished (2010) will be shown in conjunction with Matuštík’s Monday seminar on Memory and this symposium presentation
Historiens värsta trauma, så benämns ofta Förintelsen. Hur ska minnet av Förintelsen bevaras när dess offer dör ut? Och hur präglar Förintelsen staten Israels självbild? Förintelsen är över och vi måste resa oss ur askan. Så lyder den uppmanande titeln på den israeliske författaren och före detta politikern Avraham Burgs bok. Boken väckte stor debatt i Israel när den kom ut år 2007 och nu finns den också på svenska. Han beskskriver hur förhållandet till Förintelsen skapat en belägringsmentalitet i landet där man ser sig omringade av fiender och fortfarande hatat av alla. Sharon Jåma har träffat Avraham Burg i Tel Aviv. Dessutom möter vi historikern Saul Friedländer, som själv överlevde Förintelsen genom att han gömdes undan i Frankrike. Han har utbildat sig i Israel och är numera verksam vid UCLA i Kalifornien. Friedländers stora produktion innefattar bland annat verket Tredje riket och judarna vars andra del, Utrotningens år 1939-1945 nu kommit på svenska. I böckerna gör han en grundlig dokumentation av händelseutvecklingen före och under andra världskriget och kartlägger genom bland annat dagböcker, dokument och brev skrivna av både offer och förövare hur Förintelsen var möjlig. Anneli Dufva har träffat honom i Stockholm. Dessutom letar Gunnar Bolin i sitt filmminne och upptäcker hur TV-serien Holocaust från 1978 banade vägen för en hel Förintelsengenre på spelfilm. Och så talar Cecilia Blomberg med konstnären Esther Shalev-Gerz, själv uppvuxen i Israel, om ett av de verk hon gjort med utgångspunkt i Förintelsen. Hennes konst kretsar ofta kring minnet av det förflutna och hur det kan användas för att utforma nya sätt att förhålla sig till nuet och det kommande.
