Download or read book Remembering for the Future written by J. Roth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 2256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focused on 'The Holocaust in an Age of Genocide', Remembering for the Future brings together the work of nearly 200 scholars from more than 30 countries and features cutting-edge scholarship across a range of disciplines, amounting to the most extensive and powerful reassessment of the Holocaust ever undertaken. In addition to its international scope, the project emphasizes that varied disciplinary perspectives are needed to analyze and to check the genocidal forces that have made the Twentieth century so deadly. Historians and ethicists, psychologists and literary scholars, political scientists and theologians, sociologists and philosophers - all of these, and more, bring their expertise to bear on the Holocaust and genocide. Their contributions show the new discoveries that are being made and the distinctive approaches that are being developed in the study of genocide, focusing both on archival and oral evidence, and on the religious and cultural representation of the Holocaust.
Book Synopsis Israel and the Question of Reparations from Germany by : Jacob Tovy
Download or read book Israel and the Question of Reparations from Germany written by Jacob Tovy and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Israeli-West-German Reparations Agreement from September 10, 1952, is considered an event of paramount importance in the history of the State of Israel due to its dramatic and far-reaching implications in multiple spheres. Moreover, this agreement marked a breakthrough in international law. It recognized the right of one country to claim compensation from another, in the name of a people scattered around the globe, and following events that took place at a time when neither polity existed. Post-Holocaust Reckonings studies this historical chapter based on an enormous variety of sources, some of which are revealed here for the first time, and it is the first comprehensive research work available on the subject. Researchers, lecturers, teachers, students, journalists, politicians and laymen who are curious about history and political science might take a great interest in this book. The subject of indemnification for damages resulting from war or war crimes would also be of interest to societies and communities worldwide who have experienced or are currently experiencing human and material tragedies due to national, ethnic or religious conflicts.
Book Synopsis Encountering the Suffering of the Other by : Francesco Ferrari
Download or read book Encountering the Suffering of the Other written by Francesco Ferrari and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh" (Ezechiel 36:26). This biblical image, particularly significant for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, gives insight into the central issues of this book: how a greater readiness to reconcile can take place among individuals and groups who experience the "suffering of the other," even in the midst of a protracted conflict such as the Israeli-Palestinian one. This book offers a collection of essays written by the team members of a transdisciplinary DFG project between Jena University, Ben Gurion University, Tel Aviv University, and the Wasatia Academic Institute.
Book Synopsis Transdisciplinary Approaches on Reconciliation Research by : Francesco Ferrari
Download or read book Transdisciplinary Approaches on Reconciliation Research written by Francesco Ferrari and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconciliation studies are concerned with the processes of rebuilding and improving damaged relationships after major wrongdoings. They focus on factors such as law, economics, and international relations, as well as on elements such as emotions and ethics, culture and religion, media and education. Reconciliation research therefore requires a transdisciplinary approach, to analyse both the procedures leading to the recognition of truth as well as those in which justice is administered; both the impact of public apologies and cooperation agreements; both the implementation of memory policies and civil society initiatives; both the outcomes of trauma therapy and intergenerational encounter groups. While on the surface the relationships in question are those between states, groups, organisations, and individuals, at a deeper level reconciliation always addresses and involves many axes of damaged relationships: those with others (intergroup); those with one's own group (intragroup); those with oneself; those with the environment; and those with transcendence. Reconciliation studies deal, therefore, with a much broader spectrum of relationships than that taken into consideration by neighbouring disciplines such as conflict resolution and peace studies. In this volume, Francesco Ferrari and Davide Tacchini brought together examples of Leiner's approach to reconciliation studies as a cooperative project of different disciplines. The articles are divided into two sections: 1. A series of case studies about Japan-South Korea relations, German-Czech reconciliation, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict using the methods of Martin Leiner, Sayyid Qutb view of American society, and South Africans revisiting TRC. 2. A series of theoretical clarifications on reconciliation and moderation from a Palestinian point of view, evolutionary game theory looking at reconciliation processes by a team of economists, grace and reconciliation from a Catholic theological point of view, philosophical reflections on the concept of reconciliation after Auschwitz, cognitive and affective aspects in reconciliation from a Catholic theological point of view, ecology and spatiality of reconciliation seen by a social geographer, and political dimensions of reconciliation.
Book Synopsis Contesting the Far Right by : Claudia Leeb
Download or read book Contesting the Far Right written by Claudia Leeb and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have so many people responded to the insecurity, exploitation, alienation, and isolation of precarity capitalism by supporting the far right? In this timely book, Claudia Leeb argues that psychoanalytic and feminist critical theory illuminates how economic and psychological factors interact to produce this extreme political shift. Contesting the Far Right examines right-wing recruitment tactics in the United States and Austria, where people discontented with the status quo have turned to far-right parties and movements that further cement capitalism’s adverse effects. Leeb contends that Freudian psychoanalytic theory and early Frankfurt School Critical Theory provide analytical tools to explain this apparent contradiction in psychological terms. Living under precarity capitalism generates feelings of failure and anxiety, which people experience as non-wholeness, because it has become difficult if not impossible to live up to the fetish of economic, interpersonal, and bodily success, and the far right preys on such feelings. Its psychologically oriented propaganda tactics produce the illusion of wholeness and a positive sense of self while leaving the socioeconomic conditions that cause people’s suffering intact. At the same time, they remove the inhibitions that keep people’s repressed aggression and racist and sexist attitudes in check. To demonstrate the workings of this process, Leeb compares cases including Trump and the alt-right in the United States and the Freedom Party and the identitarian movement in Austria. At once theoretically rich and politically engaged, this book also offers ways to resist the far right and counter the psychological appeal of its propaganda techniques.
Book Synopsis Reconciliation and Refugees by : Davide Tacchini
Download or read book Reconciliation and Refugees written by Davide Tacchini and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2022-03-07 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Buch setzt die Reihe RIPAR fort, indem die bisher noch nicht behandelte MENA Region in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses rückt. Wegen der zahlreichen Kriege und Konflikte in diesem Raum sind weitere Bände geplant. Im vorliegenden Band geht es um Flüchtlinge und ihre vielfältigen Bedürfnisse nach Versöhnung mit sich selbst und anderen. Insbesondere Gefühle von Trauer und Schuld wegen des Zurücklassens der Heimat und von Teilen der Familie, schlimme Erlebnisse auf der Flucht, Konflikte mit anderen Flüchtlingen und mit Einheimischen, der Verlust eines großen Teils dessen, was dem Leben Sinn und Bedeutung verlieh, und die Schwierigkeiten einer Rückkehr in ein verändertes Land, eine Heimat, die sich vielleicht nicht mehr wie eine Heimat anfühlt, sind die einzelnen Facetten dieses Bedürfnisses nach Versöhnung. Aktivitäten der UN, von internationalen Organisationen zur Flüchtlingshilfe, von staatlichen Stellen, von Kommunen, NGOs, religiösen und humanitären Organisationen werden in diesem Buch dargestellt. Dabei kommen zahlreiche Forscherinnen und Forscher aus den Ländern der MENA-Region zu Wort. Sie beschreiben nicht nur gelungene Aktivitäten, sondern auch Schwierigkeiten zahlreicher Gesellschaften in der MENA-Region, die ursprünglich gastfreundliche Haltung zu den Flüchtlingen aufrechtzuerhalten. Ähnlich wie in Deutschland lassen sich letztlich absteigende Kurven der Akzeptanz der Flüchtlinge auch für Länder wie Jordanien, der Türkei oder den Libanon zeichnen. Das Buch führt aber auch vor Augen, wie große Aufgaben diese Länder durch die Flüchtlingsströme zu bewältigen haben und was auch an Anstrengungen unternommen worden ist. Neben Autorinnen und Autoren aus Marokko, Libyen, Ägypten, den Palästinensergebieten, Jordanien, dem Libanon und der Türkei, enthält der Band auch Texte aus deutscher, griechischer, italienischer und US-amerikanischer Sicht. Das Buch zeigt eine von Kriegen und Konflikten heimgesuchte Region, aber es zeigt auch Initiativen und Ansäze zu Versöhnung.

Book excerpt: This book, sponsored by the Academic Alliance for Reconciliation Studies in the Middle East and North Africa (AARMENA), focuses on peacebuilding, conflict transformation, and shifts toward approaching the reconciliation process as an inter-, trans- and multidisciplinary field. The research presented in the series focuses on the Middle East and North Africa, highlighting contributions by practitioners and scholars alike.

The second and third section explore digital humanities and the research sciences respectively, while the fourth turns to practices of heritage and reconciliation. The fifth section presents case studies on practices, conducted by expert researchers for heritage, reconciliation, and social inclusion in higher education.
Book Synopsis The Night of Broken Glass by : Uta Gerhardt
Download or read book The Night of Broken Glass written by Uta Gerhardt and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-09-11 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: November 9th 1938 is widely seen as a violent turning point in Nazi Germany’s assault on the Jews. An estimated 400 Jews lost their lives in the anti-Semitic pogrom and more than 30,000 were imprisoned or sent to concentration camps, where many were brutally mistreated. Thousands more fled their homelands in Germany and Austria, shocked by what they had seen, heard and experienced. What they took with them was not only the pain of saying farewell but also the memory of terrible scenes: attacks by mobs of drunken Nazis, public humiliations, burning synagogues, inhuman conditions in overcrowded prison cells and concentration camp barracks. The reactions of neighbours and passersby to these barbarities ranged from sympathy and aid to scorn, mockery, and abuse. In 1939 the Harvard sociologist Edward Hartshorne gathered eyewitness accounts of the Kristallnacht from hundreds of Jews who had fled, but Hartshorne joined the Secret Service shortly afterwards and the accounts he gathered were forgotten – until now. These eyewitness testimonies – published here for the first time with a Foreword by Saul Friedländer, the Pulitzer Prize historian and Holocaust survivor – paint a harrowing picture of everyday violence in one of Europe’s darkest moments. This unique and disturbing document will be of great interest to anyone interested in modern history, Nazi Germany and the historical experience of the Jews.

Book Synopsis Gender Violence in the American Southwest (AD 1100-1300) by : Debra L. Martin
Download or read book Gender Violence in the American Southwest (AD 1100-1300) written by Debra L. Martin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume uses osteobiography and individual-level analyses of burials retrieved from the La Plata River Valley (New Mexico) to illustrate the variety of roles that Ancestral Pueblo women played in the past (circa AD 1100–1300). The experiences of women as a result of their gender, age, and status over the life course are reconstructed, with consideration given to the gendered forms of violence they were subject to and the consequences of social violence on health. The authors demonstrate the utility of a modern bioarchaeological approach that combines social theories about gender and violence with burial data in conjunction with information from many other sources—including archaeological reconstruction of homes and communities, ethnohistoric resources available on Pueblo society, and Pueblo women’s contemporary voices. This analysis presents a more accurate, nuanced, and complex picture of life in the past for mothers, sisters, wives, and, captives.
Book Synopsis State of Deception by : Susan Bachrach
Download or read book State of Deception written by Susan Bachrach and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of Nazi propaganda based on never-before-published posters, rare photographs, and historical artifacts from the USHMM’s groundbreaking exhibition. “Propaganda,” Adolf Hitler wrote in 1924, “is a truly terrible weapon in the hands of an expert.” State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda documents how, in the 1920s and 1930s, the Nazi Party used posters, newspapers, rallies, and the new technologies of radio and film to sway millions with its vision for a new Germany—reinforced by fear-mongering images of state “enemies.” These images promoted indifference toward the suffering of neighbors, disguised the regime’s genocidal actions, and insidiously incited ordinary people to carry out or tolerate mass violence.The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is addressing this topic today because, in an age of instant electronic communication, disseminators of messages and images of intolerance and hate have new tools, while at the same time consumers seem less able to cope with the vast amounts of unmediated information bombarding them daily. It is hoped that a deeper understanding of the complexities of the past may help us respond more effectively to today’s propaganda campaigns and biased messages.
Book Synopsis The Holocaust across Borders by : Hilene S. Flanzbaum
Download or read book The Holocaust across Borders written by Hilene S. Flanzbaum and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Literature of the Holocaust” courses, whether taught in high schools or at universities, necessarily cover texts from a broad range of international contexts. Instructors are required, regardless of their own disciplinary training, to become comparatists and discuss all works with equal expertise. This books offers analyses of the ways in which representations of the Holocaust—whether in text, film, or material culture—are shaped by national context, providing a valuable pedagogical source in terms of both content and methodology. As memory yields to post-memory, nation of origin plays a larger role in each re-telling, and the chapters in this book explore this notion covering well-known texts like Night (Hungary), Survival in Auschwitz (Italy), MAUS (United States), This Way to the Gas (Poland), and The Reader (Germany), while also introducing lesser-known representations from countries like Argentina or Australia.
