1997 Conference Papers

  • Omer Bartov (PDF), "Industrial Killing: World War I, the Holocaust, and Representation"
    Abstract:
    This paper provides a gist of Omer Bartov's recent book, Murder in Our Midst: The Holocaust,Industrial Killing, and Representation (Oxford University Press, 1996). It examines the emergence, implementation, and representation of industrial killing, an inherent and crucial component of modernity whose most extreme manifestation was the Holocaust. Bartov argues that the Nazi death factories are best understood within the context of modern warfare, beginning with the First World War. He further shows how the way we understand ourselves reflects the ambivalent effects of the Holocaust on our perceptions of war and violence, history and memory, progress and barbarism.

    Abstract:
    Discussion and chronology of Germany's legislative and judicial isolation of Jews in the Greater Reich from 1933-1945. This presentation also examines the willingness of Great Britain, America and European countries to pass and enforce legislation that entrapped European Jews.
  • Rado Pribic (PDF), "The Complicity of the Wehrmacht in the Holocaust"
    Abstract:
    Unfortunately, there is no doubt about the complicity of many German people from all walks of life in the Holocaust, directly or indirectly. A recent exhibit, “The War of Destruction--Crimes of the German Army 1941-1944,” shown in sixteen German and Austrian cities, again underscores the facts that the average soldier was also used and often participated, voluntarily or involuntarily, in massacres and other crimes against humanity.

  • Jessica A. Sheetz (PDF), "Margit Slachta and the early rescue of Jewish families, 1939-42"
