Subject:      Films about the Holocaust

From: Chris Amirault 

I don't know whether this is the right place to post this,
but what the heck:

A great film to teach that happens to be a terrible film (in
my humble opinion) is _The Twisted Cross_, a documentary that
takes the Time/Life books position on national socialism: that
Germany, once proud and now beaten down, rose up out of the ashes
of WWI though a sort of national psychosis, with sick perverts
leading the way. I taught it back in a high school class  to get
at some of the ways in which the third reich has been taken up in
the popular imagination, and how the stakes of representation are
very high. While hardly a good film, it was great to teach, for
it put issues that we explored in greater depth through more
sophisticated films on the table.

  ANNENBERG RESEARCH INSTITUTE/CENTER FOR JUDAIC STUDIES

                  University of Pennsylvania

            Post Doctoral Fellowships 1994/95
                Dissertation Fellowships
          Application Deadline November 1, 1993


The Center invites applications from scholars engaged in
advanced research in Judaic and Near Eastern Studies, the latter
including pre-Christian, Christian, and Islamic history and
culture, from ancient to modern times.  A few fellowships will be
available for advanced graduate students writing their
dissertations on relevant topics.

Any topic within these fields may be proposed.  For academic year
1994-95, the main topic of investigation will be:


          HISTORY -- REMEMBERED, RECOVERED, INVENTED:
      HISTORICAL MEMORY AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TRADITION

In the self-definition of human societies, historical memory,
research, and invention are important standard elements.  A
variety of materials (creation myths, foundation legends, sacred
history, stories of the lives of religious and national heroes
and villains, and the like) preserved, recovered, and
embellished, help to determine group identities and group
solidarity.  How have these processes, and the resultant visions
of the past, influenced Jewish, Christian and Muslim societies in
previous eras?  What roles do they play today in an age of
assertive nationalisms, politicized religions, and self-conscious
ethnicities?


Preference will be given to projects relevant to this topic,
although others may be considered.

Stipend amounts are based on a Fellow's academic standing and
financial need, with a maximum of $35,000 for the academic year.
A contribution may also be made towards travel expenses.

Awards will be announced January 15, 1994.

Subject:      Films to teach about the Holocaust

(originally from H-Teach)

Mod. Note: Below are 5 different posts on films that are useful to teach
the Holocaust.  Anyone have other suggestions?

1.
From: ddiephou%Calvin.EDU@uicvm.uic.edu (David J. Diephouse)
Originally Posted to H-Film

Jerry Rosenberg's list of films can be expanded almost indefinitely;
the filmography in Annette Insdorf's INDELIBLE SHADOWS:  FILM AND THE
HOLOCAUST is already somewhat dated (1983), but still useful (see also
Ilan Avisar's SCREENING THE HOLOCAUST, 1988).

Having taught a course on film and the Holocaust several times, I'd
suggest the following to supplement Rosenberg's list (which is a good
one).  Among documentaries, THE 81ST BLOW (Israel, 1975) is interesting
especially for the ways it contextualizes victims' experience using
perpetrators' sources (80% of the footage is, necessarily, Nazi).  I
also like WHO SHALL LIVE AND WHO SHALL DIE? (US,1981) as an example of
historical investigative reporting--though the lack of production values
lessens its impact on the average student.  THE WANNSEE CONFERENCE
(Germany, 1987) is interesting for its attempt to reconstruct an event
on the basis of a set of minutes (so that,for example, the elapsed time
of the film is exactly the same as that of the conference itself), but I'm
not sure it wholly succeeds.  KITTY: RETURN TO AUSCHWITZ (Britain, 1980) is
a very effective complement to MEMORANDUM, mentioned by Rosenberg.  Pierre
Sauvage's recent film on the rescue center of Le Chambon, WEAPONS OF THE
SPIRIT, is good; it might be paired with AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY (Belgium,
1980), which is darker, more complex, and I think ultimately richer.  Then
there are a number of films that make effective use of Jewish sources,
notably IMAGE BEFORE MY EYES (US,1980), a rich recreation of interwar
Jewish culture in Poland, and PARTISANS OF VILNA (US, 1986).  Among the
mega-documentaries, I think the best--better than SHOAH, which is quite a
bit less than the sum of its parts--is Marcel Ophul's THE MEMORY OF
JUSTICE (1976), though finding a copy may be a challenge.  There's also
Ophuls' more recent film on the Klaus Barbie case (HOTEL TERMINUS).

Among the host of feature films, my students have found the following
especially thought-provoking:  THE REVOLT OF JOB (Hungary, 1983), THE BOAT
IS FULL (Switzerland, 1981), THE SHOP ON MAIN STREET (Czech, 1965), and
MR. KLEIN (France, 1976).  I also think highly of DAVID (Germany, 1979),
though students don't seem to get it, and DIAMONDS OF THE NIGHT (Czech,
1964)--probably too much an "auteur" film to be of any classroom use.

A great film to teach that happens to be a terrible film (in
my humble opinion) is _The Twisted Cross_, a documentary that
takes the Time/Life books position on national socialism: that
Germany, once proud and now beaten down, rose up out of the ashes
of WWI though a sort of national psychosis, with sick perverts
leading the way. I taught it back in a high school class  to get
at some of the ways in which the third reich has been taken up in
the popular imagination, and how the stakes of representation are
very high. While hardly a good film, it was great to teach, for
it put issues that we explored in greater depth through more
sophisticated films on the table.

There is a extremely powerful French film about the Holocaust - the title
escapes me, but I do remember the word "smoke" in the title.  It was excellent
in showing the wounds that the Nazi experience brought upon the French people
- and the difficulties they have grappling with the whole experience.
WARNING: there are many grotesque scenes in the movie.  I think that it was
made in the 1960's - excellent piece of film making.

Someone asked about "La grande bouffe" but I can't remind who
Anyway it's mostly an italian movie as it was Mr Marco Ferreri
who made it (in 1972 I think).. with quite a good success in here,
mostly because it caused a pretty scandal..
And speaking of holocaust movies, I think of few documents
I haven't seen mentionned : Shoah (made mostly of interviews of both
actors of the tragedy) From Nuremberg to Nuremberg (more historical
one, from Harris&Sedouy ) and Nuit et Brouillard of Alain Resnais
to never forget,...or deny the thing.

Re: films on the Holocaust, I second the suggestion of using the extensive
listings and descriptions in the Avisar and Insdorf studies.
    Additionally, there are a number of films that do not _directly_
concern the Holocaust but which are tremendously useful.  I use, for
example, the film "Obedience" which is a review of Milgram's famous
studies on "obedience to authority" and includes clips from the original
Milgram experiment.  The study was undertaken, of course, in response
to the Holocaust.  In conjunction with a reading of Christopher Browning's
_Ordinary Men_, the film can evoke very deep, and searching, responses
from students.  (Parenthetically, most of my research and teaching focuses
on survivors, but I find that my students are often most interested in
questions related to perpetrators--probably not surprising.)
    One additional film not listed by Avisar or Insdorf is Alan Adelson's
_Lodz Ghetto_ which is often rebroadcast on PBS--a very powerful evocation
of the ghetto against the backdrop of present-day Lodz.  A number of students
have reported that this film was among their most memorable encounters
with this history.

[To: HOLOCAUS@uicvm.uic.edu

While teaching sections about depictions of the Holocaust, several
students have brought up an ABC Afterschool Special entitled "The Wall."
The story, as I understand it, is about a high school teacher who incites
students in his classes to begin treating other groups as being inferior to
their chosen status.  This results in cruelty among the student body.  Finally
the teacher sets up an assembly in the auditorium with their "true leader".
The students show up eagerly, only to have the teacher unveil a wall-sized
portrait of Hitler, thus showing them how easily they too could have been
caught up in the spell of Nazism.  Yeah, I know, it doesn't sound very subtle,
but several of my students have mentioned it as powerfully communicating
to them the relevance of history (as opposed to keeping history at arm's
length).

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this?  I've checked the obvious
sources (Video Source Book, Educational Film Finder).

Greg Smith:


The name of the movie about the highschool teacher who teaches his
students about fascism by tricking them into starting their own
fascist organization is called "The Wave," not "The Wall."  I
can remember watching it in High School.  Unfortunately, I
have no idea where you can find the thing, but perhaps you're having
trouble because the name is wrong.
   I think the movie is an established thought-provoker in the
minds of most public high-schools, so you might want to phone your
local school board.

Subject:      re: Our Lament

From: Cecelia A Clancy 

Dear All,

This is in belated response to Sam Edelman's message to HOLOCAUS
sent 10 August 1993.


Hello Sam,

    I just got back to Internet and have just seen your response to
my "Our Lament" post of several weeks ago.

    You said that what you were writing was not a comfort to either
you or to me.    Wrong.    I found it quite comforting.   Toda raba!

    You have also given me an idea for a transcriber's note to explain
Alex's disparaging remarks made in the present tense seemingly (to the
casual listener) against all Poles for all time.   Yours and your wife's
entire paper should be interesting for me to read in its entirety.   Could
you please cite it for me.

    My thoughts on Alex's remarks so far, without having yet asked
Alex himself about it, were on the order of him having a hard time
moving from the now-normal world to the then "other planet" world, and
hence, projecting his negative pre-Holocaust experiences with a limited
number of Poles of a certain time period (circa 1900 - the early 1940's)
within a certain limited location (the region around Uzhgorod and Sambor)
into today.   This explains his use of the present tense when he does not
really mean the present tense.    This also explains the semantic
generalization when he does not mean a real generalization.

     I "knew" in the beginning that Alex did not really mean such virulent
and broad-brushed anti-Polishism, but was perplexed because I knew that a
literal transcription without some kind of transcriber's comments would
lead a future reader to assume that he was attacking all Poles for all time
- even Bobby Vinton and our new Chief of Staff.    Such a wrong assumption
would be very damaging not only because it would deeply hurt anybody with
Polish identity or philo-Polish, but also because it would put much wind
into the sails of Willis Carto and of whichever propagandists that will
attempt to follow in Carto's footsteps as Carto has been following in
Pelley's since the 1950's.    (William Dudley Pelley, a prominant American
fascist of the 1930's and founder/leader of the Silver Shirts is from whom
Carto has learned some of his methods.)

    After having had some time to think about it all, I can approach this
problem in a more relaxed way.    I even listened again to the tape a few
days ago and the interviewer, although not above criticism, does not seem
"as bad" as she did to me earlier.    In the beginning, she seems totally
out of touch with Alex and somewhat bored with anything that will not help
"accuse people of being war criminals" and askes what seemed to me to be
stupid and boorish questions.    But as the interviewer progresses, she
becoms more and more "in touch" with Alex and starts to relate to him as a
regular person instead of just as some specimen of a survivor.

    The interview was conducted in 1987 and she does a better job than I
could have done in 1987.

The story you are talking about is a true one. There was an experiment done
by a teacher concerning this. This is also known as "The Wave" because of the
name given to this "movement". There is an english speaking movie about this
experiment that you mentioned which, unfortunly I forgot the exact name. There
is also a play in Hebrew, which to my best memory was played by the "Youth
Theatre" in Israel. It was also videotaped for the Isralei television, and is
broadcasted often on 'Yom Hashoa'. You can get it from the Israeli Television
in Romema, Jerusalem.

     dissertations on relevant topics.

     Any topic within these fields may be proposed.  For academic year
     1994-95, the main topic of investigation will be:


               HISTORY -- REMEMBERED, RECOVERED, INVENTED:
           HISTORICAL MEMORY AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF TRADITION

     In the self-definition of human societies, historical memory,
     research, and invention are important standard elements.  A
     variety of materials (creation myths, foundation legends, sacred
     history, stories of the lives of religious and national heroes
     and villains, and the like) preserved, recovered, and
     embellished, help to determine group identities and group
     solidarity.  How have these processes, and the resultant visions
     of the past, influenced Jewish, Christian and Muslim societies in
     previous eras?  What roles do they play today in an age of
     assertive nationalisms, politicized religions, and self-conscious
     ethnicities?


     Preference will be given to projects relevant to this topic,
     although others may be considered.

     Stipend amounts are based on a Fellow's academic standing and
     financial need, with a maximum of $35,000 for the academic year.
     A contribution may also be made towards travel expenses.

From:   IN%"HISTORY@PSUVM.BITNET"  "History Discussion Forum" 11-SEP-1993 10:16:

I'm not aware of the controversy in the OAH, but I reprint below the boxed
statement from p. 14 of the Sept 1993 issue of "Perspectives," the
American Historical Association newsletter.  Does this mean that BOTH of
the American historical associations got trapped by the Institute for
Historical Review?

I also thought I'd mention that the California IHR has cleverly chosen its
name.  I always note a quick catch in my throat when I read entries for
the London-based--and reputable--Institute for Historical Research.  I
have to remind myself that this one's okay.

Under the headline, "Mailing Mea Culpa," the publishers wrote: "One half of
our membership and the Association itself were victimized in mid-May by an
unwelcome mailing from the so-called 'Institute for Historical Review,' a
fringe group based in California, that pretends to be a scholarly body but
seems to be devoted equally to the denial that the Holocaust took place and
to the praise of Hitlerite Germany.
        "We regret to report that fail-safe procedures put into effect in
1982, designed to prevent the abuse of our mailing list, failed
completely.  A newly established list-vending agency and misleading sample
enclosure material contributed to the error, which should nevertheless
have been avoidable.  We apologize to the 7,000 members whose mail was
polluted.
        "Remedial measures include 1) a mandatory further level of review
of all would-be mailing list purchases, 2) dropping the offending agency
from our list of eligibles, and 3) donation of the entire revenue from the
transaction, $538.55, to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum."

I have indeed noticed in myself an "ability" to "just automatically
understand" the survivors when interacting with them in person.
Interestingly, when seeing a written quote from a survivor I have
never met, I often do not "just automatically understand" (but still
often do, if the quote is extensive, rather than brief).    It is
reasonable, in my opinion, to find differences in the between the
dynamics of oral and written communications of Holocaust survivors, just
as we should expect to find such differences in ANY group of people.

In listening to the oral testimony of Alex, it was precisely this
"ability" to pick up on what he was REALLY trying to get across and
seeing the interviewer MISS and evan at times even DISMISS what he was
trying to say that bothered me (in addition to knowing how the
general public would terribly misinterpret some of his remarks).

It is strange that you point out me SHARING the experience of "many
children of survivors", for among the Jews, the subset who, in my
experience, is THE MOST DIFFICULT for me to interact with, tends very
strongly to be childern of survivors!     Even though my "sample" is
rather small (and hence unlikely to pass a test of statistical
significance), over half of all in my "sample" are "just impossible to
deal with" in my experience.     Jews in general, by contrast, are
usually easy to relate to in my experience.    The survivors themselves
are also easy for me to relate to.

So why the apparant special problem between myself and children of
survivors?

I have some comments as to why that I would like to offer later.
The "blame" I will "assign" will be directed more at the general
overall situation rather than at myself or at the children of
survivors.

Meanwhile, in order to increase the size of my "sample", I would like
to hear from children of survivors.

Subject:      Advantages and Disadvantages of Digests

>From H-teach@uicvm.uic.edu

Mod. Note: The Digest option which allows one to receive all of the daily
posting to a listserv in one large indexed file has both advantages and
disadvantages depending on what type of system one uses to read e-mail and
how active one is in participating on the list.

The Advantages:
    The Digest method will be most useful for those who download files to
their pc, or print them out on paper.  Listserv indexes files for you and
strips away useless header information so that posts take up slightly
less space. For those who simply want to browse through most posts, a
Digest may be most convenient as long as one can page through a lengthy
file quickly.

The Disadvantages:
      The major problem with receiving a Digest of an entire days postings
is that it is more difficult to respond to a single item.  Digests are thus
more useful for those who want to keep abreast of a list, rather
than actively participate. Digests also don't really solve the space
problems that some people have with their e-mail accounts. A daily digest
for an active list like H-Teach will be quite large.  Depending on what
system one uses to read e-mail, paging through one large file can be more
difficult than flipping through 5-10 separate e-mail messages.  (I use
Pine to read my mail on a UNIX machine and that is certainly the case.)

In other words, whether one switches to a daily digest or continues to
receive individual messages from H-Teach is a matter of personal choice.
Fortunately, it is easy to change back and forth. One can try Digest and
easily switch back if unhappy.

From: Allan Janus 

There's been some discussion on WWII-L on the use of the term "Moslem"
("Musselman") to describe an ill, weak, or broken-down prisoner of
the camps.  Can anyone cite the origin of the term, or suggest the
derivation?

From: dzk%cs.brown.edu@uic.edu (Danny Keren)

As far as I know, the term has nothing to do with Islam. Since the prisoners
were emaciated, they reminded the SS guards with Indians who, for some
reason, they thought to be Moslem, and that's how the term originated.

This sounds weird, but it's the only explanation I've heard. BTW, were there
any Moslem prisoners in the camps?

From: Hank.Greenspan@um.cc.umich.edu

Re: musselman, my understanding is that the far-away stare of such
prisoners reminded others of images of Sufi or Turkish mystics in a
rapturous, trance state.  Like many camp terms, it thus carries heavy
irony.  Less ironic, the terms "zombie" or "goner" were, of course,
also used for such prisoners.

Dawidowicz, in _The War Against the Jews_ provides the following info:

In the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, 90,000 Jews 'pre-Final
Solution Population', 80,000 estimated Jewish population annihilated
(89%)

In Slovakia, 90,000 Jews 'pre-Final Solution Population', 75,000
estimated Jewish population annihilated
(83%)

I do not know if these calculations (1975) have been 'revised'.

        Any estimate of the number of pre- and post- Jewish population the
in Czechoslovakia must take into account the dramatic territorial
changes that affected Czechoslovakia between 1938-1939. There were
356,830 Jews in Czechoslovakia in 1931. By 1938, this figure had risen
to c. 360,000. About 44,000 (this does not include those baptized)
remained in the country after the war. Between 1947-49, 26,000 left
Czechoslovakia. A small exodus continued, and by 1968, only 12,000
remained.

Dear Colleague:

May I ask for your cooperation in posting the enclosed notice?
The department is on the verge of a major step forward in Hebrew
and we want faculty and graduate students in as many institutions
as possible to become aware of this effort.

As you can see from the announcement below we an assistant
professor of Hebrew, someone with research and professional
specifically interests in one or more of the following areas:
Hebrew language pedagogy, applied linguistics, language education
and policy in Israel, issues of bilingualism, cultural
intercommunications in the Middle East, and allied fields.

Jewish Studies, and while many students go on to study Biblical
and later Hebrew literature in the original, virtually all want
to learn to communicate effectively with Israelis in their own
language.  We seek a faculty member eager to work with students
toward this goal of accurate and culturally sensitive spoken
language proficiency.

Thanking you in advance.

I always assumed that the camp term "Musselman" referred to a popular
oversimplification of "Eastern" willingness to accept fate without a
struggle.  Apparently the term was also used in Soviet camps, but Sol-
zhenitsyn doesn't specify (as I recall) whether the term pre-dated Hitler's
camps or followed them.

I can't help but feel some wariness here, over what strikes me as
 a kind of fetishization of numbers, a kind of participation
in some fantasy of actually being able to know the exact numbers,
to be able to know just how many
fetuses were in the wombs of women who were killed, even how many
babies were killed "in the process of being born"
(which is quite strikingly  distinguished from those killed
"just after being born")
This so-called issue of numbers verges on being a questionable preoccupation.
The desire to want to add the number of 'unborn, being born and just
born'children to already existent numbers strikes me the wrong way,
and I would be interested to hear others' responses.

Dear Professor Weissman,

        I understand your response to my question, but I believe you've
misunderstood my intent in asking it.  To be specific:  I've long been troubled
by those who question whether the number 6 million is accurate and who attempt
to show that it's not by citing pre-war and post-war countings of citizens, for
instance.  My point is that we will never know the exact numbers killed, and my
question was intended to underscore this fact while, at the same time,
highlighting the tragic reality of those unknown, uncounted, unnumbered deaths.

Subject:      Second Generation Survivors

From: AD04000 

Over the years, I have been "building up" my collection of
Holocaust literature by browsing through the dusty shelves
of second hand bookstores.  My latest acquisition is SHELLA
by Peter Wyde

It includes an interesting discussion on the personnality of
"second-generation survivors" (p.332) of which I include an
excert:

"...the  sons and daughters of Holocaust survivors, young and middle-
aged Jews throughout the world... who inherited the Holocaust legacy
and perpetuate it as 'second-generation survivors'... [are] actually
leading a more constructive life than most people of benign parentage...
The emotional fallout of the Holocaust had given risetoa crop of
curiously strong, humanitarian descendants, a little-noted and
paradoxical outcome."

How much true is there to this statement?  Has there been any research
conducted in this area?  Not having any friend who are s-g survivors,
it is difficult for me to support or refute this idea.  Some of the
images I have seen of young Israi soldiers, of which I think many are
s-g survivors do not support this thesis, neither does the "punishment
obsession" I noticed in s-g survivors.

I can't answer your question directly, but do you know of Frank
Buscher's book, *The US War Crimes Trial Program, 1946-55*
(Greenwood, 1989)? A likely place to find out more.
There are detailed lists of the microfilms on the US war crimes
trials held at Dachau -- a brand new book by Robert Sigel, "Im
Interesse der Gerechtigkeit" (Campus, 1993) gives details.

Andre Duchesne mentions the "punishment obsession" he has noticed in
second generation survivors.  Please define and elaborate.

        I recommend that you contact Dr. Chris Browning, Professor of
History, Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, WA  98447 (206)535-7591.
He teaches our course and is an internationally recognized expert
who has also written several books.
        Good luck.

Mr. Weinstock,

No offence meant and I apologise if my thoughtless and ignorant
comment about second generation survivors and the "punishment
obsession" has made you angry.  If at all possible, I retract this
statement.  It was a reflection of some legitimate preoccupation of
mine but it should have been presented differently, to say the less.

That being said, I am still interested in finding out more about the
repercussion of the Holocaust on the "moral or ethical fabric" of the
survivors and s-g survivors.  Is there any basis to the affirmation that
children of survivors lead more constructive life and are often more
humanitarian?  I am fully aware that this is something extremely
difficult to measure and can be highly subjective.

Subject:      Second Generation Survivors

From: Abe Peck 

The question of the Second Generation's involvement in the "caring" professions
has been around for a couple of decades at least as long as it was described in
some detail in Helen Epstein's "Children of the Holocaust." Several studies
published in collected essays on survivors and the Second Generation seemed to
indicate that many Second Generation did become doctors,educators and social
workers. But one still has to be careful of the generalizations. Psychiatric
studies also paint survivors as sick and dysfunctional in their ability as
parents. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Professor Duchesne,

        This doesn't answer your question directly but may prove useful.  There
is an anthology of poetry by second generation survivors, which should be
illuminating: Stephen Florsheim, Ghosts of the Holocaust (Wayne State Univ. Pr.,
1989).
