  1. Rudolf Vrba - Auschwitz

    Rudolf Vrba was a Slovakian Jew who escaped from Auschwitz in April 1944 in hopes of warning the world about the imminent destruction of the Hungarian Jews and inciting the Jews to revolt. He describes working on the arrival ramp for ten months and witnessing as Jews from various countries went to the gas chambers. He and Lanzmann debate the culpability of the Jewish council members and other Jewish leaders, who Vrba describes as traitors who collaborated with the Nazis.

  4. SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt

    Geschichte des Bestandsbildners Bestandsgeschichte Welchen Weg die Unterlagen des SS-WVHA gegen Kriegsende und in der frühen Nachkriegszeit nahmen, läßt sich heute nicht mehr bzw. nur sehr unvollständig nachzeichnen.[5] Angesichts dieser Erkenntnisdefizite müssen als frühe Nachkriegsnachweise schon die erst im Februar/März 1952 datierten Formblätter "List of Contents for Shipment of Records" eingestuft werden, in denen von US-Stellen beschlagnahmte Unterlagen des SS-WVHA erfaßt sind; darin ist in der Rubrik "From" jeweils das Berlin Document Center (7771 Document Center, Berlin) ausgewiesen...

    INDEX of Names: of Nazis (including collaborators and earlier ideologues) suspected, accused and/or convicted of war crimes; and of Nazi war crime trials (1955-2004)This INDEX was compiled from names mentioned in articles and reports on war crime trials (WWII), which were largely held in West Germany, but some took place in the East, all between 1955 and 2004. Most of these articles were contemporary with the actual trials, and most were written in German. These articles on microfilm are part of the Archive Collection of the Wiener Library, London. The articles are filed under sections: G5....

  7. Persönlicher Stab Reichsführer-SS

    Geschichte des Bestandsbildners Bestandsgeschichte Die bei den Dienststellen des Persönlichen Stabs Reichsführer-SS entstandene Aktenüberlieferung teilt im wesentlichen das andernorts beschriebene allgemeine Schicksal deutscher zeitgeschichtlicher Quellen in Kriegs- und Nachkriegszeit [1]. Aktenverluste als Folge von Luftangriffen im November 1943 sind in Akten des Persönlichen Stabes mehrfach belegt. Das Dienstgebäude Prinz-Albrecht-Str. 8 ist im Februar 1945 von Bomben zerstört worden [2]; Angehörige der sowjetischen und U.S.-amerikanischen Besatzungsmacht sollen nach Kriegsende noch Akte...

  8. Benjamin Murmelstein - Theresienstadt Judenaelteste

    Benjamin Murmelstein, a rabbi and intellectual, worked closely with Adolf Eichmann in Vienna and became the last head of the Jewish Council in Theresienstadt. He defends his behavior against the many who have criticized him since the war and provides important details about the functioning of Eichmann's Central Office for Jewish Emigration. The sound on these tapes is problematic. Claude Lanzmann's questions are sometimes inaudible (they often do not appear in the transcripts). The audio sometimes outlasts the video image. The first few tapes show Murmelstein and Lanzmann outside on a balco...
