A memorial book for the town of Žilina in Slovakia; pp. 10-18 relate the fate of the Jewish community in the Holocaust. In 1939 Slovakia came under Nazi control. Jews who worked for the government lost their jobs, and the number of Jews allowed to work independently was limited. Discusses anti-Jewish measures, including "Aryanization" laws in 1940. There were ca. 3,000 Jews living in Žilina at the time, and 373 Jewish businesses, most of which were "Aryanized". In September 1941 the "Jewish Codex" was put into effect, depriving the Jews of civil rights, limiting their movement, and requiring them to do forced labor and wear the yellow star. Deportations began in March 1942, and by the end of the war ca. 2,500 Jews had been deported. Between March-October 1942 there was a transit camp in the city, run by the Hlinka Guard; ca. 26,000 Jews passed through this camp on their way to the concentration camps. The city's Jewish Committee provided aid to those interned in the camp and to Polish refugees. Only 214 Jews from Zilina returned after the war. The last 19 pp. contain a list in English of the ca. 2,500 Jews from Žilina who were killed in the Holocaust.
Accounts of significant sites in Hungary, Vichy France, Italy, and other nations, part of the multi-volume reference praised as a “staggering achievement” (Jewish Daily Forward). This third volume in the monumental seven-volume encyclopedia, prepared by the Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, offers a comprehensive account of camps and ghettos in, or run by, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Vichy France (including North Africa). Each entry discusses key events in the history of the ghetto; living and working conditions; activities of the Jewish Councils; Jewish responses to persecution; demographic changes; and details of the ghetto’s liquidation. Personal testimonies help convey the character of each ghetto, while source citations provide a guide to additional information. Documentation of hundreds of smaller sites—previously unknown or overlooked in the historiography of the Holocaust—make this an indispensable reference work on the destroyed Jewish communities of Eastern Europe.
Over the past 20 years European theatre underwent fundamental changes in terms of aesthetic focus, institutional structure and in its position in society. The impetus for these changes was provided by a new generation in the independent theatre scene. This book brings together studies on the state of independent theatre in different European countries, focusing on the fields of dance and performance, children and youth theatre, theatre and migration and post-migrant theatre. Additionally, it includes essays on experimental musical theatre and different cultural policies for independent theatre scenes in a range of European countries.
Ethnic and national conflicts have been an unexpected and major source of problems in many parts of the world in recent times. Nowhere more so than in the formerly communist countries. This book provides a readable introduction to, and brief analytical coverage of, all the ethnic disputes of the 1990s. Full justice is done both to complex present-day situations and the deeper roots of ethnic conflict. This is followed by a review and evaluation of the main available explanations. The book is required reading for anyone who wants to understand why the fall of communism did not introduce an era of goodwill between the nations.
Filmmaker, film essayist, installation artist, writer: the Berlin artist Harun Farocki has devoted his life to the power of images. Over the thirty-plus years of his career, Farocki has explored not the images of life but rather the life of images that surrounds us in newspapers, cinema, books, television, and advertising. Harun Farocki examines, from different critical perspectives, his vast oeuvre, which includes three feature films, critical media pieces, children’s television features, “learning films” in the tradition of Brecht, and installation pieces. Interviews, a selection of Farocki’s own writings, and an annotated filmography complete a valuable biography of this pioneering artist and his legendary career.
