O apoio mundial à Coréia do Norte

Publicado em 11/04/2013 por Joanisval

Ao menos é o que o site oficial de notícias da Coréia do Norte tem divulgado… Manifestações, nos quatro cantos do planeta, em favor daquela grande democracia popular. Podem acusar os sujeitos de tudo, menos de não terem senso de humor!

A culpa dos inocentes

Publicado em 11/04/2013 por Joanisval

Entrevista na Spiegel com psicanalista que foi criança na Alemanha durante a II Guerra Mundial.

Sinceramente, parece-me que os alemães ainda têm muita dificuldade de lidar com o III Reich… A culpa pelo passado permanece e é muito intensa, inclusive nas gerações que não tiveram qualquer responsabilidade pelo nazismo. Nesse sentido, a impressão que tenho é que os alemães conseguem tratar melhor de quatro décadas de ditadura comunista que de treze anos de nacional-socialismo. E olha que o regime era muito duro na República Democrática Alemã e tão totalitário quanto aquele estabelecido há exatos oitenta anos…

Nazi Childhood Memories – ‘It’s All Still Very Present’

The miniseries “Our Mothers, Our Fathers” has sparked widespread discussion in Germany about memories of WWII, both first-hand and inherited. In a SPIEGEL interview, war survivor and psychoanalyst Hartmut Radebold talks about guilt, war trauma and his own fraught memories of growing up in the Third Reich.

SPIEGEL: Mr. Radebold, you have researched the impact of traumatic war experiences. Now, in the wake of the three-part TV miniseries “Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter” (Our Mothers, Our Fathers), which was broadcast on March 17, 18 and 20 on Germany’s ZDF public television network, the newspapers are full of accounts of what life was like during World War II. Why is that? We have been dealing with Germany’s Nazi past for decades, and just when we feel we know practically everything about this period of history, it starts making headlines again.

Radebold: It wasn’t talked about much within families themselves, which is regrettable, as is the fact that this film wasn’t made earlier. The protagonists were born shortly after 1920. Very few members of that generation are still alive — and many of those who have survived suffer from dementia. The film actually deals with individuals who are no longer with us. Continuar lendo →

Um nazista entre os justos???

Matéria interessante sobre o irmão de Hermann Goering (o segundo homem do III Reich), que teria atuado pela salvação de judeus do holocausto. E então, será que poderia Albert Goering receber o título de “justo entre as Nações” (חסידי אומות העולם)?

Göring’s List –Should Israel Honor a Leading Nazi’s Brother?

By Gerhard Spörl

Leading Nazi Hermann Göring was instrumental to Hitler’s reign of terror, but research suggests his brother Albert saved the lives of dozens of Jews. Israel must now decide whether he deserves to be honored as one of the “Righteous Among the Nations.”

Hermann Göring’s younger brother Albert, of all people, rescued Jews from the Nazis, and yet his story is forgotten. But why?

Irena Steinfeldt looks nervously at the clock to reassure herself that she isn’t too late for her appointment at the Café Paradiso in downtown Jerusalem. She sits down, shakes her hair and gazes intently through her glasses.

It is important to her to set something straight right away. It really doesn’t matter to her, she says, what someone’s name was or what rank he had at the time, if he had rescued only one or several Jews and had proven himself to be a good person at a bad time. The true heroes, who remain good throughout their lives, are extremely rare, she says, and they certainly didn’t exist at the time of the Holocaust. Continuar lendo →
