SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2018] The Dynamics of Violence and Divided Societies: The Holocaust, Occupation, and the Reconfiguration of Social Relations (1939-1945)
DESCRIPTION:The Second World War was a period marked by extremely violent social division. Throughout Europe, the ideology and practices of the German occupiers and their allies employed existing social conflicts for their own purposes. However, they also established new social orders that led to violence, mass murder, and the Holocaust. This section explores the reconfiguration of social and ethnic relations in societies under occupation during the Second World War. The first speaker, Tatjana Tönsmeyer (Bergische Universität Wuppertal) will begin by examining the main European historical narratives concerning the Second World War, which are, for the most part, characterized by a strong national focus. However, as she will show, the spheres of the “German occupiers” and “local occupied peoples” cannot be so neatly separated, as both groups interacted and depended on each other in various ways. Alexander Korb (University of Leicester) will then consider different conceptions of a new political and demographic social order in Southeastern Europe, as developed by National Socialist Germany and its allies, and explore their intersections and divergences. Although among Germans, debates arose between numerous factions and different models of occupation, on the whole, the system of so-called “single-people states” (Einvolkstaaten), propagated by völkisch scholars and preferred Hitler, prevailed. Finally, Melanie Hembera (IdGL Tübingen) will draw on the case study of the Galician city of Tarnów to analyze the character of social relations among a population which underwent diverse transformation processes following Germany’s invasion of the territory in September 1939. She will argue that Raul Hilberg’s triad of “perpetrators-victims-bystanders” offers an insufficient analytic framework for conceptualizing the diverse types of behaviors exhibited among populations in the violent context of National Socialist occupation.
