Production of antisemitic consensus within Judenjagd. The role of Poles in the Zagła in the example of the murder of the Nachman Blumental family in Wielopol Skrzyński during the German occupation

Abstract

Producing an Antisemitic Consensus within the Framework of the Judenjagd: The Role of Poles in the Holocaust Based on the Murder of NACHMAN Blumental’s Family in Wielopole Srzyński during the German Occupation This article – which is based on the records of NACHMAN Blumental that I Discovered as part of my work on his archive material and that I brought to light, as well as on the documentation of two official investigations – deal with the complicity of Poles – uniformed and civilians – in the Nazi project to kill every jew without exception in Dębica County during the German occupation. And analyse the mechanism that set in motion antisemitic violence within the framework of the Judenjagd, i.e. the jew hunt. And explaining that it was attitudes and Behaviors in the environment that determined the effectiveness of the German Nazi project to persecute and murder all Jews without exception. The majority group play the role of ‘second instance’. By reconstructing the crime against Ariel Blumental and Maria Blumental in June 1943 in Brzeziny, Mała and Wielopole Skrzyński, and by deconstructing the mystification of the crime by the inhabitants, I uncover the foundations of this process and show how the mechanism of self-representation as non-involved functions. ‘Participating observers’ (Elżbieta Janicka) mask their own participation in the murder of NACHMAN Blumental’s family. The task, then, is to interpret both what is said and what is not said. The crime discussed in the article is emblematic in that it Sheds light on the socio-cultural framework of the Holocaust and its landscape. It shows the loneliness of those who were hiding, handed over and Sentenced to death by their neighbors. Production of antisemitic consensus within Judenjagd. The role of Poles in the Zagła in the example of the murder of the Nachman Blumental family in Wielopol Skrzyński during the German occupation The article, based on the transcripts of Nachman Blumental, discovered during my work on his archive, which I extracted from the daylight, and on the documentation of two investigations, treats the complicity of Poles – uniformed Poles (granat police) and civilians – in the Nazi project Zagrupy in the district of Dębeck during the German occupation. It analyses the mechanism that triggered antisemitic violence within the framework of Judenjagd, i.e. Jewish hunting. I prove that it was the attitude and behaviour of the environment that determined the effectiveness of the German Nazi project to persecute and murder all Jews without exception. The majority group plays the role of ‘second instance’ (Elżbieta Janicka). By reconstructing the crime at Ariel Blumental and Maria Blumentalova in June 1943 in Brzezina, Małaej and Wielopol Skrzyński, and deconstructing the perpetuation of crimes by residents, I demonstrate the process and the functioning of the self-presentation mechanism as a non-engaged person. Indeed, ‘participating observers’ (Elżbieta Janick) mask their own contribution to the murder of the Nachman Blumental family. My task is therefore to interpret what has been said and what has not been said. The crime referred to in the article is emblematic in the sense that it sheds light on the socio-cultural framework and the landscape of Zagora. It shows the loneliness of hiding, issued and sentenced to death by neighbours.
