‎Vishniac, Roman‎

‎Verschwundene Welt. Mit einem Vorwort von Elie Wiesel. (Originalausgabe). 1. deutsche Ausgabe.‎

‎München: Kindler Verlag, 1996. 213 Seiten; sehr zahlr. Illustrationen (Fotografie); 30,5 cm; fadengeh. Orig.-Pappband mit illustr. OUmschlag.‎

‎Sehr gutes Exemplar - In den eindringlichen, einfühlsamen Bildern des großen Fotografen Roman Vishniac werden die Menschen der ostjüdischen Schtetl für uns noch einmal lebendig. Diese Bilderzeigen uns eine Welt, die gekennzeichnet war von Natürlichkeit und Tradition, von Lebendigkeit und Einfachheit und die nichts ahnte von der gnadenlosen und endgültigen Vernichtung, die so nahe bevorstand. 1935 wurde Vishniac vom "Hilfsverein der deutschen Juden" gebeten, das traditionelle jüdische Leben in Osteuropa zu dokumentieren. Zwischen 1936 und 1939 reiste er Tausende von Kilometern durch Polen und Weißrußland, Ungarn, die Slowakei und die baltischen Länder. Mit versteckter Kamera machte er, unter teils lebensgefährlichen Umständen, mehr als 16000 Aufnahmen. Nur rund 2000 dieser Negative konnte er sicherstellen, der Rest wurde beschlagnahmt und vernichtet. "Es ist die Aufgabe der Fotografie", sagte Eduard Steichen, der Pionier der Fotokunst, "den Menschen den Menschen und den Menschen sich selbst zu erklären." Roman Vishniac ist dies auf einzigartige Weise gelungen. (Verlagstext) // INHALT : Widmung ------ Elie Wiesel: Poet der Erinnerung ------ Vorwort ------ Zu den Fotografien ------ Abbildungen ------ Bilderläuterungen ------ Vita: Roman Vishniac. // Roman Vishniac (russisch Roman Wischnjak; * 19. August 1897 in Pawlowsk bei Sankt Petersburg; ? 22. Januar 1990 in New York) war ein US-amerikanischer Biologe, Fotograf und Pionier der Wissenschaftsfotografie. Besonders bekannt wurde er für seine Fotografien des jüdischen Lebens in Mittel- und Osteuropa vor dem Nationalsozialismus. ... Vishniac wurde bekannt durch seine Fotos von jüdischen Ghettos und Schtetlach in Osteuropa. Das Berliner Büro des American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee wollte Gelder sammeln, um den von Armut betroffenen jüdischen Gemeinden zu helfen. Vishniacs Bilder sollten das Elend dokumentieren. Jedoch entwickelte Vishniac großes Eigeninteresse an dieser Arbeit. Noch Jahre nachdem die Arbeit für das Komitee abgeschlossen war, reiste er nach Russland, Polen, Rumänien, in die Tschechoslowakei und Litauen. Die Arbeit an seinen Fotografien konnte oft nur unter Schwierigkeiten erfolgen. In vielen Ländern war es Juden verboten, Kameras zu tragen, geschweige denn zu fotografieren. Deswegen gab Vishniac sich als Handelsvertreter aus und fotografierte grundsätzlich mit versteckter Kamera. Gelegentlich wurde er unter dem Verdacht der Spionage verhaftet. Die Fotografien, die so entstanden, zeigen Menschen, meistens in kleinen Gruppen, wie sie ihrer alltäglichen Arbeit nachgehen, häufig religiöse Texte lesend, manchmal auch einfach nur dasitzend und teilnahmslos starrend. Kaum sieht man auf diesen Fotos den Anflug eines Lächelns. Trotz der ungünstigen Bedingungen, unter denen diese Bilder entstanden, ohne zusätzliche Beleuchtung, außer gelegentlich einer Kerosinlampe, sind sie erstaunlich kontrastreich und haben eine verblüffend hohe Schärfentiefe. ...

‎WARSAW GHETTO APFELBAUM Emil 1895 1946 editor.‎

‎Maladie de Famine; Recherches Clinique sur la Famine Executees dans le Ghetto de Varsovie en 1942.‎

‎Varsovie:: American Joint Distribution Committee 1946. 1946. 8vo. 264 4 pp. 11 black and white photographic plates 50 tables charts index. Original printed wrappers; scotch tape along spine front and rear covers age-darkened first 3 pages including half title and last three blank end-papers are loose. Main body of work remains bound and in good condition. Loose pages have some slight area of extremities missing. Some fading and foxing to pages. Thus wrappers poor but text good to good plus. First edition. SEMINAL WORK IN MEDICAL CLINICAL RESEARCH & A CRITICAL ARTIFACT OF THE WARSAW GHETTO AND HOLOCAUST. Copies of the book are uncommon in part because of the fragile nature of the paper used to publish the report. In the immediate aftermath of World War II paper ink and binding facilities in Europe were scarce. The published report was done with economy in mind and with a rushed sense of needing to reveal to the world what happened. / Six articles report on the clinical research by 28 Jewish physicians and a student intern the 1946 book only records the names of 21 physicians and the student – subsequent research in the 1960s revealed the additional names who conducted the studies on adults and children at the two Jewish hospitals in the Ghetto. Abbreviated biographies of the physicians can be found in The Uses of Adversity: Studies of Starvation in the Warsaw Ghetto by Leonard Tushnet published in 1966. The physicians hoped to study these patients to somehow benefit humanity perhaps in the spirit of the Jewish concept of tikkun olam - to repair the world. The studies were conducted in secret since any scientific research in the Ghetto was prohibited by the Nazi overseers. It is also quite possible that many if not all the clinical physicians believed that granting children and others the status of being a patient would protect them by preventing their transport out of the ghetto to death camps. Theories also suggest that the physicians wanted to preserve a record of the atrocities being committed as well as advance medical research. The studies remain the most comprehensive research of the effects and progression of starvation in part because any contemporary studies would largely be blunted by existing ethical guidelines for informed consent and subject welfare. Contemporary debates about the ethical wisdom of conducting these studies remains contentious. / The Warsaw Ghetto occupied approximately 1.3 square miles 3.4km2 and its population was as much as 500000 men women and children. The Ghetto was a staging area for transporting Polish and Eastern European Jews to the death camps and a locale for starving to death Jews prior to transport. The average daily caloric intake of a resident of the Ghetto was 600 to 800 calories of low-protein food for adults. This amount was calculated by Adolf Eichmann to starve-to-death most of the residents in approximately nine months. The physicians performing the research were no exception to the plan. All were starving as they performed their studies. Equipment for clinical research was smuggled into the hospitals. / Each article in the book is devoted to specific results of these studies. Chapter V offers autopsy results on 710 patients; 492 died of starvation and 218 died of complications of secondary conditions. Chapter VI offers clinical observations of one-hundred adults who died from starvation. Chapter VII offers clinical observations of 40 children who died of starvation. Chapter VIII examines the effects of starvation on the cardiovascular system in adults and children. Chapter IX discusses changes in peripheral blood and bone marrow. Ophthalmic responses to starvation are discussed in Chapter X. Only one doctor engaged in the research Emil Apfelbaum survived the war. He arranged to have the studies smuggled out of the Ghetto to a Polish professor of medicine who released the reports after the liberation of Warsaw. After the war Apfelbaum edited the report for publication by the Joint Distribution Committee. He died a week before the book was published. / Research was performed at the two hospitals in the Ghetto from late February to July 22 1942. On July 22 the hospitals were closed and any patients unable to be transported were summarily executed regardless of age. The attending and clinical physicians were fully aware of the fate awaiting transported patients and in many instances they performed euthanasia on elderly and child patients who were scheduled for transport. Some of the physicians committed suicide rather than face transport. Other physicians accompanied their patients to the death camps providing whatever aid they could. / The studies were smuggled out of the ghetto in a manner befitting a Ken Follet thriller. A Jewish physician Henryk Fenigstein played a crucial role. "Before the war Henryk was a stamp collector. In fact he had one of the largest collections of Polish stamps in the country. One day two SS members arrived at the hospital and told Henryk to come with them to Gestapo headquarters. Of course he was terrified. Jews taken to Gestapo headquarters did not return. On arrival he was taken to the office of a senior officer who told him that he himself was an avid stamp collector. He took out a list and handed it to Henryk. He wondered if Henryk had these stamps and if not if he knew where to procure them. Henryk told him that he had many of the stamps including some of the very rare ones. He told him that he thought he could procure the rest. In order to do this he would need a pass to get out of the ghetto for a few hours each week. And of course the SS officer was welcome to those that he had. The officer agreed and even gave Henryk his phone number in case he needed any help. Thus Henryk Fenigstein a key member of the study team was able to leave the ghetto" 2005 lecture Myron Winick. During such an outing Fenigstein arranged for the smuggling of the reports. A pregnant woman reportedly was used to hide the documents and transport them out of the ghetto. / The supervising physician of the project Israel Milejkowski wrote in his Introduction to the studies that each author refused to allow the Nazis to destroy their work and that through the research and the publication of that research "Nous avons termine nos Recherches et nous les conserverons bien comme c'etait Ton desir. Les paroles immortelles que Tu a jetees "Non omnius Moriar" doivent etre en premier lieu appliquees a Toi! Gloire eternelle a Ta Memoire !" / The research as well as results from the Minnesota Semi-Starvation studies of 1944-1945 continues to benefit the millions of persons facing starvation each year. The participants in the Minnesota study lost an average of 25% of pre-test body weight and the final phase of the study included recovery techniques and methods. The Warsaw studies measured effects until death. This artifact of scientific integrity individual bravery and resistance to oppression is a rare opportunity to truly own a small piece of history illuminating the courage of physicians determined to use their craft to help the world and advance the memory of atrocities.
