Anna - Eine Liebesgeschichte mit Happy Beginn (German Edition)
I am in the process of leaving academia. Academia is a neoliberal, despicable for profit society that monetizes our research. On writing queer history of the Holocaust, and same sex desire in the camps, sexual violence, and transgressive sexuality. Also on blind spots in the archives and homophobia. In the Tiefstack satellite camp in winter , prisoners observed with fascination and disgust the relationship between the guard Anneliese Kohlmann and prisoner Lotte Winter.
Winter, a beautiful young Czech Jewish woman, had already engaged in a rational relationship with a male kapo in the previous camp, Auschwitz. Winter let Kohlmann believe that she reciprocated her feelings. The discomfort related to Kohlmann illustrated the brutal homophobia of the prisoner society and survivors, which only recently became object of research of scholars. My article invites to analyze the prisoner society as sites of same sex behavior.
Buy the whole yearbook here: What Kind of Narrative is Legal Testimony? This article examines Theresienstadt survivors who testified repeatedly in legal proceedings connected to the ghetto and how their testimonies changed over time. I also explore why was it only men who were repeatedly asked to testify, and I also explore why was it only men who were repeatedly asked to testify, and demonstrate how male testimony is constructed as factual, whereas female as emotional and harrowing to prove the horrors of the Holocaust.
By comparing these legal testimonies to other self-testimonies by these same witnesses, I show that Holocaust survivors were indeed able to shape their narratives in front of their courts, thus contradicting the research of Sigrid Weigel and Aleida Assmann. This article is the first scholarship to examine what kind of narrative is legal testimony. It stands in the context of narrativity research, early Holocaust trials and survivors' retribution, and early Holocaust documentation by scholars such as Alexandra Garbarini, Lisa Leff, Laura Jockusch, and Henry Greenspan.

In a microstudy in the social history of the Holocaust I analyze the group of Jews deported from Netherlands to the Theresienstadt ghetto. The forced community in Theresienstadt, as heterogeneous as it was, had a relatively fixed set The forced community in Theresienstadt, as heterogeneous as it was, had a relatively fixed set of behavior, adhered to by most of the inmates.
The only exception were the Dutch Jews, who reacted to the new surrounding in a detached fashion, and were objects of contemptuous stereotypes within the prisoner community. In comparing then with other groups I demonstrate that this cannot be explained by their age, gender, time of arrival in Theresienstadt or any particular treatment by the SS or Jewish self-administration: A larger part of those deported from the Netherlands were German speaking emigrants, whose socialisation into the ghetto life was that of Theresienstadt majority.
The distinct, regressive socialization of the native Dutch Jews in Theresienstadt was unique. This passive behavior of the Dutch Jews can be ascertained not only for Theresienstadt, but also for other camps such as Auschwitz or Sobibor. While in Theresienstadt the consequences of this mode of adaptation took place on a more social level, in Auschwitz and various auxiliary camps it resulted in a dismally high mortality.
In this article, based on wide source basis from the Dutch, Israeli, Czech and other archives, in combination with thirty oral-history interviews I conducted, I demonstrate the agency of the individuals in the deportation process. Strukturen weiblichen Verhaltens in Theresienstadt more. How did their every-day life look like? Which roles did they take in? The core of my researched is based on a sample of 40 biographic interviews from the s, combined with various contemporaneous sources. Furthermore I use several published memoirs of Czech Jewish women.
Having experienced the deportation chiefly in their twenties, they represent middle-class, assimilated, emancipated, mostly Czech speaking women. I argue that the women inmates often abandoned their pre-deportation individual life and shifted towards a strongly gendered, supportive role, focusing on the family and collective. I examine the relationship between the shift in the social role of women, formation of networks and groups and their survival chances.
This essay outlines the postwar lives of the Czech survivors of the Neuengamme concentration camps. These were mostly Gentile men, incarcerated in the main camp, and Jewish women who were in the satellite camps. The article focuses on the The article focuses on the organization of the survivors' association in the s and the unsuccessful attempts of the Neuengamme survivors to start an association branch of their own.
Their grass-roots aims were in many respects symptomatic of the liberalization of the Prague Spring and more generally the Czechoslovak s, as well as public interest in the WWII and the Holocaust. Holocaustforschung in Tschechien more. Outline of the Holocaust research and historiography in the Czech Republic: Die Juden aus den Niederlanden im Ghetto Theresienstadt, more. My master thesis is a microstudy in the social history of the Holocaust. I analyse the deportations from the Nazi-occupied Netherlands to the Theresienstadt ghetto, and how was their life of the deported Jews here. The study is based on The study is based on wide source basis from the Dutch, Israeli, Czech and other archives, in combination with thirty oral-history interviews I conducted with Theresienstadt survivors.
I also show the agency of the individuals in the deportation process. In the second step, I describe how did the Jews from the Netherlands adapt in the forced community of Theresienstadt. I analyse the reasons of their specific isolating behaviour here, and I also show what consequences did it have. The Dutch Jews — all of them, not only those deported to Theresienstadt, had a shatteringly high mortality after their deportation to concentration camps.
Ironically, although Theresienstadt was the deportation site from which most Dutch Jews returned alive, it indicates us to crucial insights about the Holocaust in the Netherlands and in particular, helps us to understand why so many Dutch Jews did not survive their deportation.
At the same time, Theresienstadt remains a conspicuously under-researched topic in the Dutch historiography: Knowledge of Czech and German is indispensable for scholarship on Theresienstadt. Those who won a military award in the First World War, were important scholars or had other civilian merits, the prisoners-functionaries from Westerbork and employees of the Joodse Raad among other categories: Such an improvement could mean a lot of things: The last but one transport encompassed two large groups which were long protected by high-ranking Dutch places, the so-called Protestant and Barneveld group.
This was to play a crucial role throughout the time of incarceration in Theresienstadt. Altogether, 4, people were deported from the Netherlands to Theresienstadt with eight transports. From these, about 1, were liberated in Theresienstadt, in Switzerland, and 2, were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau.

I think Anna took chances when she wrote the end and for that I thank her because I don't think After will leave me any time soon.
I have the hugest series hangover ever, the last one I had was when I finished reading The Infernal Devices, funny I would suffer two major hangovers at the hands of a Tessa. I was out of commission the next day while I processed my feelings. It was worth every single tear shed, every minute spent cursing Hardin out, every single frustrated text to my besties, and every single minute waiting between books! Thanks again to Simon and Schuster and Gallery Books for the review copy and thank you Anna for bringing this series to us, it truly was a wonderful roller coaster of feels that I will soon revisit and will never forget.

View all 9 comments. Sep 19, Kirsten rated it did not like it Shelves: Well here we are. Literally like, 3, pages later and this God-forsaken series is finally over. I know that it still seems like lunacy that I would finish this series even though they're literally worse than garbage, and trust me - I'm scratching my head at this myself. I have no priorities, clearly. But what's done is done, and these books are blessedly in that category. This whole book was like running uphill - you don't Well here we are.
This whole book was like running uphill - you don't want to do it and you're not sure why you started in the first place but you push on because you feel you have something to prove and even though it was a dumb idea you feel like you accomplished something when you reach the top because it was the worst decision you've made in a while and you clearly didn't look at your life and your choices.
You all probably know what types of things I'm going to have to say here, making this review redundant, however I owe it to myself to write down only a handful of the many, MANY reasons this book is worth no one's time and how it actually makes you dumber by reading it. There will be spoilers, and none of you will care because you have higher reading standards and aren't ashamed of yourselves every time you look at your recently read books and see these atrocities listed there. Without further ado, let's bash this book: Introspection is only a good plot device when characters aren't pieces of crap, and when they're developing as a result of events.
As someone working through their own depression, I was uncomfortable with how casually it was thrown around and was even more mad than usual at this ridiculously stupid girl who needs to get her head out of her own butt and just GROW UP. He literally doesn't seem to have a single fond memory that has anything to do with her as a person or her interests. His only interest is in her body and having sex with it, and if that isn't objectifying women and painting yourself as a chauvinist pig I don't know what is. And Todd seems to think this is a romantic ideal? Grrl, these opinions of men and excusing this type of behaviour is the reason so many women find themselves unable to leave bad relationships because you're telling them this is a good thing.
Karen's pregnant and he makes this into a "the world hates me because I'm too fucked up and this is my punishment" thing. The conversation went something like this: What a majestic display of great communication, cooperation, and healthy relationships lovingthatconcept - Tessa tells Hardin over and over "I need to get away for a while, we spend too much time together and we need a clean break.
In the After universe, "going away for a while" is like, 5 weeks and involves constant contact and lots of random sex as a means of "healing wounds" what even is that. She tried to make it seem like they were apart for like, 5 years grrlplz - Hardin proceeds to write a book about their relationship and, surprise surprise, calls it After, and this is where I really lost it. I cannot believe Todd tried to make this book all meta and crap by putting her books inside the books. And THEN, on top of THAT, Hardin's book is so immensely popular and all the publishers are fighting for it and everyone wants to read it and are freaking out about it, making this a sad wish fulfillment fantasy a la Twilight and I just got so like, sad because it all just feels so pathetic and I'm rolling my eyes and clutching my face and mumbling "please no, this can't actually be published and available for purchase, what am I doing with my life?
Harden also describes the book as being about self recovery, and then in the next book tells Tessa they helped each other. How does that even work? If it's self recovery shouldn't you be doing it on your own?

It's like they know they have an audience and feel the need to put on a play that no one would be willing to pay for or would even stay halfway through, and then here I am still reading it because I have no self-respect at all. Is that even a thing? I'm really just phoning it in at this point, we've moved so far past anything remotely good that it's a struggle to remember this won't be the last book I'll ever read and books aren't actually all garbage.
I'm just exhausted with these books and so happy it's over. Bella All my frustrations in black n white All those arguments about marriage. WTF Dec 11, Why did I get all the way to book 4?!? Someone said these were supposed to be good! Oh god help me! Ich finde es gerade sehr schwierig, dieses Buch zu bewerten. Die Charaktere haben sich weiterentwickelt, deutlich weiterentwickelt.
Get your shit together! Como la autora tiene la santa pachorra de inculcar esos valores a mujeres siendo ella mujer?? I can't believe it's over.
After Ever Happy (After, #4) by Anna Todd
I feel like I have been reading about Tessa and Hardin forever, even though it's only been less than two weeks. I was completely sucked into this series from the start. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did based on the reviews and the fact that is fan fiction. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't stop thinking about these characters even after I would put the books down.
Every time I got my hands on a new one, I completely devoured it. There was a ton of drama an I can't believe it's over. There was a ton of drama and back and forth. The relationship is messed up in so many ways just like so many reviews told me it would be. That was kind of the point though.
This was a love story of two messed up, imperfect people.
Träume. Eine Liebesgeschichte aus dem Wien Maria Theresias (German Edition)
It was their passionate and crazy journey. Eventually, they become better people for themselves and for each other. I could never quite give all of the books 5 stars, but not because of my enjoyment. I enjoyed them enough to give them ten stars. I still feel like I may rerate them in the future. I was just very aware of how crazy and destructive the relationship I was reading was, I guess. I rated them the best I could at the time.
The books were so long, and so much would happen in each one. I really felt like I was experiencing all the many emotions along with them. I wish I still had many books to read about Tessa and Hardin. I'm so glad I took a chance on this series. Nov 21, Tracey Life and Literature rated it it was amazing.
When you love people, you don't let them destroy you along with themselves, you don't allow them to drag you through the mud. You try to help them, try to save them, but the moment that your love is one sided or selfish, if you keep trying, you are a fool. So, here we are at the end.

What a ride it's been!! A journey of emotions for me. I've only just now turned the last page and already I'm feeling a little melancholy. I'm gonna miss these guys!! When I neared the end of Af When you love people, you don't let them destroy you along with themselves, you don't allow them to drag you through the mud. Hardin had grown and changed so much.
See a Problem?
I loved him and his determination to be a better person. But then we had that huge bombshell dropped into Hardin's lap and I just knew that things were about to get a whole lot of crazy. If there's one thing that Hardin's an expert at it's self destructing and sabotaging the good in his life. And man, doesn't he do it good this time around!!
I really wanted to throttle him. He was at his very self loathing, destructive best. It's impossible to change people who have their mind set on who they are. You can't support them enough to make for their low expectations, and you can't love them enough to make up for the hate they feel for themselves. Tessa still managed to frustrate me at almost every turn. There were times when her decision making left me scratching my head. Even up until about eighty percent through the book I wanted to curse at her. But after the events that go down in London, does she deserve the way Hardin treats her?
Sometimes despite loving someone so completely, we get to the point where we say enough's enough. Your heart and your soul can only take so much pain and hurt. I'm a fucked-up piece of shit with fucked-up parents and a fucked-up head. Where do I start with him. Frustrating, infuriating, maddening, exasperating But boy, I love the guy with everything that I have. I cannot express my love for him adequately. I seriously didn't think it was possible to fall in love with him more than I already was, but as I was getting towards the end of After Ever Happy, my heart was so full of him.
It was fit to burst. The growth of this man was phenomenal. He is loving, patient, caring and considerate, all while maintaining that Hardin edge. And gosh do I love his dirty words!!!
Anna Seghers
I have to say that I hadn't cried a great deal throughout these books. Yes there were moments when a got a bit teary, but there was always a million other emotions going on at the same time. But reading the epilogue took me forever. I cried so damn hard!! Happy tears, sad tears, frustrated tears, angry tears. I cried them all. And even now just thinking about it I'm getting a bit emotional.
No two relationships are the same. We can't tell the heart who to love and who not to love. It has a mind of its own. We love who we love and that is that. Relationships and love come in all forms. And even though Tessa and Hardin's relationship was at times volatile and destructive, their love was a constant. Even through all the bad, and there was lots, I never doubted that love. When they were on, it was a beautiful thing to read. I'm so grateful to Anna Todd for giving me all the Hessa feels.
