Download or read book Alfred Bergel written by Anne Weise and published by Temple Lodge Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a remarkable deed of original scholarly research and detailed detective work, Anne Weise recreates sketches of a lost life – of one of the millions of forgotten souls whose lives came to a violent end in the Holocaust. Her focus is Alfred Bergel (1902–1944), an artist and teacher from Vienna who was a close associate of Karl König – the founder of the Camphill Movement for people with special needs – who wrote of Bergel in his youthful diaries as his best friend ‘Fredi’. After the annexation of Austria, Alfred Bergel found himself unable to escape the horror of the National Socialist regime. Subsequently, in 1942 he was deported to the Theresienstadt camp. Imprisoned there, he produced numerous artistic works of the inmates of the ghetto and taught drawing, art history and art appreciation – sometimes in collaboration with the Bauhaus artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis. During this period, he was also forced by the Nazis to produce forgeries of classic art works. One of the central figures of cultural life in the Theresienstadt ghetto, Bergel was eventually transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944 where, tragically, he was murdered. His name and his work are largely forgotten today, even amongst Holocaust researchers, but Weise succeeds in honouring the life of the Jewish artist by lovingly piecing together his biography, based on numerous personal testimonies by friends and contemporaries and supplemented with documents and many dozens of photos and colour reproductions of Bergel’s artistic works. This invaluable recreation of a life provides insight not only into the desperate plight of a single individual, but also illustrates the human will and determination to survive in the context of one of the darkest periods of recent history.

Download or read book The Complete Lives of Camp People written by Rudolf Mrázek and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Complete Lives of Camp People Rudolf Mrázek presents a sweeping study of the material and cultural lives of twentieth-century concentration camp internees and the multiple ways in which their experiences speak to the fundamental logics of modernity. Mrázek focuses on the minutiae of daily life in two camps: Theresienstadt, a Nazi “ghetto” for Jews near Prague, and the Dutch “isolation camp” Boven Digoel—which was located in a remote part of New Guinea between 1927 and 1943 and held Indonesian rebels who attempted to overthrow the colonial government. Drawing on a mix of interviews with survivors and their descendants, archival accounts, ephemera, and media representations, Mrázek shows how modern life's most mundane tasks—buying clothes, getting haircuts, playing sports—continued on in the camps, which were themselves designed, built, and managed in accordance with modernity's tenets. In this way, Mrázek demonstrates that concentration camps are not exceptional spaces; they are the locus of modernity in its most distilled form.

Download or read book The Black Book written by Sybil Oldfield and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Oldfield's thoroughly researched and fascinating historical biography explores the lives of many of the 2,600 citizens who attracted Hitler's ire, ranging from high-profile entertainers and writers to those naturalised refugees who doggedly resisted the Nazis from afar' - Observer In 1939, the Gestapo created a list of names: the Britons whose removal would be the Nazis' priority in the event of a successful invasion. Who were they? What had they done to provoke Germany? For the first time, the historian Sybil Oldfield uncovers their stories and reveals why the Nazis feared their influence. Those on the hitlist - many of them naturalised refugees - were some of Britain's most gifted and humane inhabitants. They included writers, humanitarians, religious leaders, scientists, artists, and social reformers. By examining these targets of Nazi hatred, Oldfield not only sheds light on the Gestapo worldview but also movingly reveals a network of truly exemplary Britons: mavericks, moral visionaries and unsung heroes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Theresienstadt was the Jewish ghetto (1941-45) created by the Nazis within the walled garrison town of Terezín, Czech Republic, to which many of Europe's Jewish cultural elite were deported, and where their artistic activities were allowed flourish despite the ghetto's hidden purpose as a prison and conduit to Auschwitz-Birkenau and other Nazi concentration camps. Considered as a whole, the art of the Teresienstadt ghetto forms one of the most complex - and most neglected - bodies of work of the past century." -- Book cover.

Download or read book Festungsbau written by Bettina Marten and published by Lukas Verlag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eine bastionäre Festung bzw. Festungsstadt stellte eine zentrale Herausforderung für die zeitgenössischen theoretischen und angewandten Wissenschaften dar. Ihre planerische Bewältigung erforderte einen bislang unbekannten organisatorischen, vermessungstechnischen und gestalterischen Aufwand. Die Elemente des Festungsgürtels mussten auf solche Weise angeordnet werden, dass wechselseitige Deckungen und lückenlose Verteidigung möglich wurden. Die Verknüpfung der fortifikatorischen Praxis mit mathematischem und philosophischem Wissen erlaubte es jedoch, die gesamte sichtbare Welt nach geometrischen und optischen Gesetzen neu einzurichten, letztlich die militärische in eine kulturelle Technologie zu verwandeln. - Schließlich wurde die neue Entwurfspraxis auch auf die Gartenkunst und in die zivile Architektur übertragen - mit weitreichenden Folgen für die visuelle Wahrnehmung und neuen Paradigmen politischer Repräsentation. Im vorliegenden Band gilt es, dieser bisher selten zusammengefassten Kombination von mathematischem Kern und kultureller Sublimierung Rechnung zu tragen. - - Der Aufsatzband versammelt die Beiträge der Tagung "Festung im Fokus - Mathematische Methoden in der architectura militaris des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts und ihre Sublimierung in der architectura civilis", die im Oktober 2008 in Dresden als Kooperationsprojekt zwischen dem Institut für Kunstwissenschaft der TU Dresden, dem Institut für Kunst- und Bildgeschichte der Humboldt Universität Berlin und dem Mathematisch-Physikalischen Salon der Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden stattfand

Book Synopsis Berlin Psychoanalytic by : Veronika Fuechtner
Download or read book Berlin Psychoanalytic written by Veronika Fuechtner and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years after the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute was established, this book recovers the cultural and intellectual history connected to this vibrant organization and places it alongside the London Bloomsbury group, the Paris Surrealist circle, and the Viennese fin-de-siècle as a crucial chapter in the history of modernism. Taking us from World War I Berlin to the Third Reich and beyond to 1940s Palestine and 1950s New York—and to the influential work of the Frankfurt School—Veronika Fuechtner traces the network of artists and psychoanalysts that began in Germany and continued in exile. Connecting movements, forms, and themes such as Dada, multi-perspectivity, and the urban experience with the theory and practice of psychoanalysis, she illuminates themes distinctive to the Berlin psychoanalytic context such as war trauma, masculinity and femininity, race and anti-Semitism, and the cultural avant-garde. In particular, she explores the lives and works of Alfred Döblin, Max Eitingon, Georg Groddeck, Karen Horney, Richard Huelsenbeck, Count Hermann von Keyserling, Ernst Simmel, and Arnold Zweig.
Book Synopsis Resettlers and Survivors by : Gaëlle Fisher
Download or read book Resettlers and Survivors written by Gaëlle Fisher and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located on the border of present-day Romania and Ukraine, the historical region of Bukovina was the site of widespread displacement and violence as it passed from Romanian to Soviet hands and back again during World War II. This study focuses on two groups of “Bukovinians”—ethnic Germans and German-speaking Jews—as they navigated dramatically changed political and social circumstances in and after 1945. Through comparisons of the narratives and self-conceptions of these groups, Resettlers and Survivors gives a nuanced account of how they dealt with the difficult legacies of World War II, while exploring Bukovina’s significance for them as both a geographical location and a “place of memory.”
