    Abstract: During the Second World War the German army collaborated in various degrees with the SS and police in mass annihilation of Jews and other victims, especially in the USSR and Yugoslavia. In rare cases when perpetrators were prosecuted under the Nazi regime, the prosecuted were pardoned by the highest authorities (Hitler, Himmler, etc.). Those who refused to participate in the mass killings were never punished by their superiors; therefore, participation was voluntary to a great extent. Only a small number of perpetrators was prosecuted after the war in the FRG, and in many cases their penalties were not commensurate with their crimes. Some of the perpetrators had brilliant careers as police officers in the 1940s-50s, before they were brought to trial.

    Abstract: Based on documents from Romanian, German, and Russian archives, examines Ion Antonescu's policy toward the Jews during his military dictatorship (1940-44) and his responsibility for the mass deportations to Transnistria and the massacres of Jews in Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Odessa. Analyzes his nationalistic and antisemitic ideology, as well as his attitudes during the Bucharest pogrom (January 1941) and the Iași pogrom (June 1941). Discusses the circumstances of Antonescu's agreement and then refusal in 1942 to engage in the Nazi plan of total annihilation of Romanian Jewry. Concludes that Antonescu's regime was responsible for the death of at least 350,000 Jews, including 100,000 Ukrainian Jews.

    Abstract: Describes the Soviet partisan movement in Ukraine and estimates Jewish participation in it. The first Jewish resistance groups in the Ukraine were not formed in the prewar Soviet regions (where a bulk of eligible, able-bodied Jews were either conscripted in the summer of 1941 or evacuated, while others were shot by the Nazis during the first weeks of the German occupation), but in the western, formerly Polish regions and in Transnistria. Later, these groups were included in mixed partisan divisions. A large number of the Jewish partisan fighters were former POWs who had escaped from POW camps. Jews held various positions in the partisan units in Ukraine, from rank-and-file to commanders. Discusses divergent statistics on the partisan movement in Ukraine, including estimates of the number of Jewish partisans.

    Abstract: The camp at Brusy-Dzemiany (labor camp Bruss) was set up in accordance with an order of the Stutthof camp command on 24 August 1944. Its first prisoners, 500 Jewish women, arrived from the Kaiserwald concentration camp near Riga via Stutthof, which was overcrowded at this time. Most of the women were placed in a camp at Dzemiany (Sophienwalde), the rest in the buildings of a monastery at Brusy. The prisoners were used in the construction of the SS testing range, and subsisted under terrible work and living conditions. Some of them perished during the work, and were replaced by other women prisoners. In February 1945 the SS began to evacuate the camp. Before the evacuation began, ca. 80 prisoners were shot. Based partially on eyewitnesses' accounts.

    Abstract: Analyzes the reactions of French Jewish communal leaders after the promulgation of the first statute on Jews (October 1940) by the Vichy government and the emergence of the antisemitic campaign in the press. The strategy of the Central Consistory was based on the conviction that the statute was imposed on the French authorities by the Germans. Asserts that the misconception was upheld in order to safeguard the idea of the integration of the Jews in French society. Jewish leaders maintained cordial personal relations with French officials. They sent frequent protests against discrimination while adopting a legalistic position of obedience and loyalty. Consistory authorities made great efforts to refute antisemitic allegations in the press and to amend the anti-Jewish legislation by emphasizing the wrong done to France by the terms of the statute. Notes that concern for legality and for adaptation to the new situation typified not only the Jewish leaders but a large proportion of Jewish public opinion in 1940-41.

    Abstract: Based on memories of his experiences as a member of Hashomer Hatzair and of the Jewish Fighting Organization, Gutman describes the structure and activities of the Zionist youth organizations in Warsaw before and during the war. Stresses the reorientation toward more practical and mutual aid activities after the establishment of the ghetto. The movements ceased to be preoccupied solely with their own internal affairs and turned their attention to broader public issues, such as labor camps, relations with the Judenrat, relations between Jews and Poles, and reports from other ghettos. The youth organizations became the avant-garde of the Jewish resistance, due also to the leadership aptitudes of Mordechaj Anielewicz and others. Mentions that the Germans did not take any interest in the internal life of the Jewish community. The armed resistance in the ghetto represented the conception of "a Jewish war", which originated in the Vilna ghetto, totally separate from the Polish anti-Nazi resistance.

    Keywords: Lichtheim, Richard, ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)
    Abstract: Richard Lichtheim, the representative of the Zionist Organization and the Jewish Agency in Geneva in the war years, was one of the first Jewish observers to realize that the Nazis were carrying out a systematic extermination of the Jews. At the beginning of the war, Lichtheim believed that the ghettoization of the Jews in Poland was the only aim of the Nazis, but in March-June 1942 he understood that there was a Nazi plan to destroy the Jews and that the deportations to the East meant death. Using the information he received from various sources, he tried to impel the Allies and the Vatican to undertake political measures against Germany and its satellites, as well as to convince the Zionist leadership to place the rescue of the European Jews at the top of its international agenda and not to offer immigration to Palestine as an exclusive solution.

    Abstract: Bnei Akiva was the largest Zionist youth movement in Hungary; in 1939-43 it became stronger due to the influx of refugees from Poland and Slovakia. Nevertheless, it received limited assistance from the Yishuv delegation in Istanbul. The first task of Bnei Akiva was to receive refugees (provide them with forged papers, etc.). Despite the warnings of refugees regarding events in Poland and Slovakia, the Zionists, including Bnei Akiva, were not prepared when the Germans occupied Hungary in March 1944, and they had to reorganize their activities. The Bnei Akiva arranged for clandestine emigration to Romania and Slovakia, prepared shelters, distributed forged papers, money, and food among the ghettoized Jews of Budapest, and even undertook an armed attack on an SS patrol. The movement received assistance from the Swiss consulate in Budapest, which helped to save thousands of Jews. As a religious movement, Bnei Akiva had problems not shared by other youth movements.

    Abstract: Discusses the consolidation of the resistance movement in the Białystok ghetto, from the entry of Nazi troops into the city on June 1941 until the last "Aktion" in August 1943. Describes the difficulties in creating a joint resistance organization due to the ideological and practical divergences between the communists and the Zionist Hashomer Hatzair and Dror. Mentions the contacts with the underground movements in the Vilna and Warsaw ghettos. Focuses on the personality of Mordechai Tenenbaum, the Dror leader, appointed as head of the United Combat Organization in Białystok, and his contacts with Efraim Barasz, the chairman of the Judenrat, who secretly supported the underground. At the end of July 1943, the representatives of all the factions agreed to establish a common front, but they went into action only during the last Nazi "Aktion".

    Keywords: Jews History 1933-1939 ; Antisemitism History 20th century ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Hesse (Germany)
    Abstract: Discusses the situation of Hesse's Jews and their relations with their German neighbors before the Nazi ascent to power; these relations in the first years of the Nazi regime and in 1936-38; the attitudes of the general population, the local authorities, and the Churches, both Protestant and Catholic, to the Jews; and Jewish reactions to Nazism. Shows that while in 1933-35 the situation of the Jews depended on the locality, in 1936-38 it not only deteriorated, but became uniformly bad; that rural Jews suffered from official and popular antisemitism more than Jews in the large cities; and that emigration was more difficult for them. The main direction of migration for these Jews was to the cities. Surmises that the Nazis favored the concentration of the Jews in large cities.
