Download or read book Legacies of the Nazi Camps in Norway written by Trond Risro Nilssen and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War 2 (WW2) Nazi Germany established 500 camps in occupied Norway. In May 1945 these camps quickly became symbols of terror and death. At war's end war criminals and collaborators had to be arrested pending their trials, in a time marked by revenge. This book examines new perspectives on the scope and fate of the Nazi camps in Norway during WW2. One of the most symbol-laden sites in Norwegian war history is in focus. The SS camp Falstad in central Norway was an arena of Nazi abuses from 1941-1945. After the war, it was made into a prison and played a key part in the Norwegian post-war trials.

Book Synopsis Norway's Response to the Holocaust by : Samuel Abrahamsen
Download or read book Norway's Response to the Holocaust written by Samuel Abrahamsen and published by Schocken. This book was released on 1991 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holocaust in Norway (the only Scandinavian country whose Jewish population suffered great losses during the war) did not evoke mass protests amongst the Norwegian population. Even the resistance leadership was not eager to defend the country's Jews; in Norwegian rescue activities, the initiative often came from below, from courageous individuals. All measures for the segregation of Norwegian Jews, the roundups, and the deportations to Auschwitz in October 1942-February 1943 were carried out with the close cooperation of the state bureaucracy, especially the police, and also with the assistance of the Norwegian Nazi Party. Only the Norwegian Church valiantly opposed the persecution of Jews.

Book Synopsis Our Escape from Nazi-Occupied Norway by : Leif Terdal
Download or read book Our Escape from Nazi-Occupied Norway written by Leif Terdal and published by . This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany invaded Norway with a massive military force in April 1940. The author describes the Norwegian resistance movement including their effort to help Jews avoid Nazi death camps. Much of the resistance movement was led by clergy from the Norwegian Lutheran church and by school teachers. Section two describes our escape from western Norway via a fishing boat to Scotland, and then on a Norwegian freighter to Canada. On each leg of our trip we experienced a military attack from either a German airplane or a submarine attack. I was four years old at the time of our escape; one of my brothers was eight years old, and our younger brother was eighteen months old. My mother made all the arrangements and experienced the brunt of the stress of our escape, because my father had already escaped previously. The final section of the book focuses on reflections by us three brothers, now some sixty years after our escape. We have come to a painful realization that anti-Semitism has a long history in our Christian churches (Protestant and Catholic) that contributed to the silence and even collaboration with the Nazi plans for the holocaust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Gender and Sexuality in Childhood explores gender and sexuality in children's lives, from early childhood through adolescence, bringing together key inter-disciplinary perspectives.

Book Synopsis Spaniards in Mauthausen by : Sara J. Brenneis
Download or read book Spaniards in Mauthausen written by Sara J. Brenneis and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spaniards in Mauthausen is the first study of the cultural legacy of Spaniards imprisoned and killed during the Second World War in the Nazi concentration camp Mauthausen. By examining narratives about Spanish Mauthausen victims over the past seventy years, author Sara J. Brenneis provides a historical, critical, and chronological analysis of a virtually unknown body of work. Diverse accounts from survivors of Mauthausen, chronicled in letters, artwork, photographs, memoirs, fiction, film, theatre, and new media, illustrate how Spaniards have become cognizant of the Spanish government’s relationship to the Nazis and its role in the victimization of Spanish nationals in Mauthausen. As political prisoners, their numbers and experiences differ significantly from the millions of Jews exterminated by Hitler, yet the Spaniards in Mauthausen were nevertheless objects of Nazi violence and witnesses to the Holocaust.
Download or read book Oral Literacies written by Sam Duncan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to focus exclusively on an examination of early 21st-century adult reading aloud. The dominant contemporary image of reading in much of the world is that of a silent, solitary activity. This book challenges this dominant discourse, acknowledging the diversity of reading practices that adults perform or experience in different communities, languages, contexts and phases of our lives, outlining potential educational implications and next steps for literacy teaching and research. By documenting and analysing the diversity of oral reading practices that adults take part in (on- and offline), this book explores contemporary reading aloud as hugely varied, often invisible and yet quietly ubiquitous. Duncan discusses questions such as: What, where, how and why do adults read aloud, or listen to others reading? How do couples, families and groups use oral reading as a way of being together? When and why do adults read aloud at work? And why do some people read aloud in languages they may not speak or understand? This book is key reading for advanced students, researchers and scholars of literacy practices and literacy education within education, applied linguistics and related areas.
Download or read book KL written by Nikolaus Wachsmann and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history of the Nazi concentration camps In a landmark work of history, Nikolaus Wachsmann offers an unprecedented, integrated account of the Nazi concentration camps from their inception in 1933 through their demise, seventy years ago, in the spring of 1945. The Third Reich has been studied in more depth than virtually any other period in history, and yet until now there has been no history of the camp system that tells the full story of its broad development and the everyday experiences of its inhabitants, both perpetrators and victims, and all those living in what Primo Levi called "the gray zone." In KL, Wachsmann fills this glaring gap in our understanding. He not only synthesizes a new generation of scholarly work, much of it untranslated and unknown outside of Germany, but also presents startling revelations, based on many years of archival research, about the functioning and scope of the camp system. Examining, close up, life and death inside the camps, and adopting a wider lens to show how the camp system was shaped by changing political, legal, social, economic, and military forces, Wachsmann produces a unified picture of the Nazi regime and its camps that we have never seen before. A boldly ambitious work of deep importance, KL is destined to be a classic in the history of the twentieth century.

Excerpt: See The Holocaust in Norway View of the pier in Oslo where the deportations took place, taken 26 November 2009, 67 years after the largest deportationDuring the Nazi occupation of Norway, German authorities deported about 768 individuals of Jewish background to concentration camps outside of Norway. 28 of these survived. Because the Norwegian police and German authorities kept careful records of these victims, researchers have been able to compile relatively complete information about the deportees. The deportation from Norway to concentration camps followed a planned staging of events involving both Norwegian police authorities and German Gestapo, Sicherheitsdienst, and SS staff, though the front for the campaign was through Statspolitiet under the command of Karl Marthinsen: The deportation schedule for the major transports was: Most of those deported were Norwegian citizens. Some were stateless refugees, and a few were citizens of other countries. In addition to those Jews from Norway killed by the Nazis were deported to death camps (Vernichtungslager), at least 22 died in Norway by murder, extrajudicial executions, and suicide. This list...
Download or read book Twilight Man written by Liz Brown and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Twilight Man is biography, romance, and nonfiction mystery, carrying with it the bite of fiction." -- Los Angeles Review of Books “In Twilight Man, Liz Brown uncovers a noir fairytale, a new glimpse into the opulent Gilded Age empire of the Clark family.” —Bill Dedman, co-author of The New York Times bestseller Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune The unbelievable true story of Harrison Post--the enigmatic lover of one of the richest men in 1920s Hollywood--and the battle for a family fortune. In the booming 1920s, William Andrews Clark Jr. was one of the richest, most respected men in Los Angeles. The son of the mining tycoon known as "The Copper King of Montana," Clark launched the Los Angeles Philharmonic and helped create the Hollywood Bowl. He was also a man with secrets, including a lover named Harrison Post. A former salesclerk, Post enjoyed a lavish existence among Hollywood elites, but the men's money--and their homosexuality--made them targets, for the district attorney, their employees and, in Post's case, his own family. When Clark died suddenly, Harrison Post inherited a substantial fortune--and a wealth of trouble. From Prohibition-era Hollywood to Nazi prison camps to Mexico City nightclubs, Twilight Man tells the story of an illicit love and the battle over a family estate that would destroy one man's life. Harrison Post was forgotten for decades, but after a chance encounter with his portrait, Liz Brown, Clark's great-grandniece, set out to learn his story. Twilight Man is more than just a biography. It is an exploration of how families shape their own legacies, and the lengths they will go in order to do so.
Book Synopsis The Persecution of the Norwegian Jews in WW II by : Oskar Mendelsohn
Download or read book The Persecution of the Norwegian Jews in WW II written by Oskar Mendelsohn and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is an enhancement of the section "The Persecution of Jews" in the museum guidebook. Before the German invasion of Norway in 1940 there were more than 1,800 Jews in the country. 925 managed to escape to Sweden; 760 "racial Jews" were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz in 1942; most of the others were exterminated in the Norwegian camps Berg and Grini. The Norwegian Nazis actively incited antisemitic feelings in the country, and Quisling's police participated in the roundups of Jews in Oslo. The Norwegian Church opposed persecution of the Jews and intervened on their behalf.
Book Synopsis Hitler's Scandinavian Legacy by : Jill Stephenson
Download or read book Hitler's Scandinavian Legacy written by Jill Stephenson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scandinavian [Nordic] countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland experienced the effects of the German invasion in April 1940 in very different ways. Collaboration, resistance, and co-belligerency were only some of the short-term consequences. Each country's historiography has undergone enormous changes in the seventy years since the invasion, and this collection by leading historians examines the immediate effects of Hitler's aggression as well as the long-term legacies for each country's self-image and national identity. The Scandinavian countries' war experience fundamentally changed how each nation functioned in the post-war world by altering political structures, the dynamics of their societies, the inter-relationships between the countries and the popular view of the wartime political and social responses to totalitarian threats. Hitler was no respecter of the rights of the Scandinavian nations but he and his associates dealt surprisingly differently with each of them. In the post-war period, this has caused problems of interpretation for political and cultural historians alike. Drawing on the latest research, this volume will be a welcome addition to the comparative histories of Scandinavia and the Second World War.
Book Synopsis Searching for Justice After the Holocaust by : Michael J. Bazyler
Download or read book Searching for Justice After the Holocaust written by Michael J. Bazyler and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazis and their state-sponsored cohorts stole mercilessly from the Jews of Europe. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, returning survivors had to navigate a frequently unclear path to recover their property from governments and neighbors who had failed to protect them and who often had been complicit in their persecution.

Download or read book Fire and Ice written by Vincent Hunt and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hitler ordered the north of Nazi-occupied Norway to be destroyed in a scorched earth retreat in 1944, everything of potential use to the Soviet enemy was destroyed. Harbours, bridges and towns were dynamited and every building torched. Fifty thousand people were forcibly evacuated – thousands more fled to hide in caves in sub-zero temperatures. High above the Arctic Circle, the author crosses the region gathering scorched earth stories: of refugees starving on remote islands, fathers shot dead just days before the war ended, grandparents driven mad by relentless bombing, towns burned to the ground. He explores what remains of the Lyngen Line mountain bunkers in the Norwegian Alps, where the Allies feared a last stand by fanatical Nazis – and where starved Soviet prisoners of war too weak to work were dumped in death camps, some driven to cannibalism. With extracts from the Nuremberg trials of the generals who devastated northern Norway and modern reflections on the mental scars that have passed down generations, this is a journey into the heart of a brutal conflict set in a landscape of intense natural beauty.
