Description:
Soldiers
of the U.S. Army (GIs) were among the first to scientifically deal with
concentration camps upon their liberation when writing intelligence
reports for the Psychological Warfare Division (PWD) of the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Forces (SHAEF) or the Office for Strategic Services (OSS). The PWD and OSS teams consisted mostly—but not always—of GIs who had been trained at the Military Intelligence Training Camps
“Camp Ritchie” and “Camp Sharpe” in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Many of
these soldiers, known as Ritchie and Sharpe Boys, had been forced into
exile from Germany and Austria as Jews and political opponents.
From 1942 on, they were trained in intelligence, interrogation
techniques, close combat, photo interpretation, etc., a knowledge they
used for the interrogation of POWs and the production of leaflets and
radio broadcasts intended to destroy the morale of the Wehrmacht. When
these teams eventually arrived at the recently liberated concentration
camps in April 1945, they were often tasked with investigating the
camps' history. Along with the memoirs of the camps’ survivors, these
reports represent the first kind of “scientification” of the
concentration camps. From the perspective of a sociology of knowledge,
this research could be called a “third culture” of knowledge
production—a knowledge production beyond the more individual literary or
juristic evaluations, a social scientific, methodologically thoughtful
investigation into a collective experience aiming at theoretically
understanding the concentration camps.
In this talk, Andreas Kranebitter wants to focus on this early research on the camps
before, while or immediately after liberation, i.e., before they were
history. What was this type of “third culture” research on concentration
camps? What methods and concepts did they use in their research? What
were their findings, and how relevant are these reports for today’s
research on concentration camps? Writing the history of their practice
means writing the history of scientific and military resistance against
the Nazi regime.

Andreas Kranebitter, political scientist and sociologist,
currently serves as the acting head of the Archive for the History of
Sociology in Austria at the University of Graz and has most recently
been appointed the new director of the Documentation Center of Austrian
Resistance (DÖW) in Vienna. Recent publications include
“Authoritarianism, Ambivalence, Ambiguity. The Life and Work of Else
Frenkel-Brunswik” (editor of a Special Issue of “Serendipities. Journal
for the Sociology and History of the Social Sciences”) and “Die
Konstruktion von Kriminellen. Die Inhaftierung von “Berufsverbrechern”
im KZ Mauthausen” (Vienna: new academic press; in preparation).
Organized by the Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies and
the Center for Austrian Studies. Presented with the Center for Jewish
Studies.

Description:
In an imagined courtroom, 32 students between 15 and 22 years old, from nine countries, interrogate the so-called father of Nazi Racial Hygiene, ardent Nazi Ernst Rüdin. A psychiatrist, geneticist, eugenicist, racist and antisemite, Rüdin was responsible for untold suffering and death.
Rüdin helped formulate the 1933 Nazi “Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Diseases” that legalized the forced sterilization of some 400,000 Germans between 1934 and 1939. Rüdin helped to implement the so-called “T4 programme,” — the first mass murder committed under National Socialism. Rüdin was directly involved in the killing of children in order to conduct post-mortem research. Because of a loophole in the law, Rüdin was never prosecuted for his crimes. He died of natural causes in Munich in 1952.
On trial is the right for those most vulnerable to be protected from harm; the responsibility of leadership; and the place of ethics within the sciences.
