I just came across a fascinating example of a man who writes to his future grandchildren. He just knew that this would be of interest to future generations. It&#8217;s also about preserving the memory and legacy of these individuals, not to romanticize them, but to see as whole persons who had you know, difficulties but also love stories, family drama, school drama, and all the things we identify with today.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/08\/20220616_105738-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"Holocaust library\" class=\"wp-image-17423\" width=\"467\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/08\/20220616_105738-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/08\/20220616_105738-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/08\/20220616_105738-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/08\/20220616_105738-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2022\/08\/20220616_105738-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><figcaption>Holocaust diaries offered layers of storytelling that<br>textbooks and novels can\u2019t communicate. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the individual lives of the writers, the diaries reflect a bigger picture of the Holocaust that goes beyond its most-addressed horrors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe usually think about Holocaust survivors as being survivors of the camps and ghettos and the Jews who survived in hiding,\u201d Sederberg said. \u201cThese sources are written by the survivors of Nazi persecution. They survived and knew that they were surviving. But it&#8217;s also about loss and displacement, and it will help us understand more about diaspora and migration, what it meant to be a refugee, and how refugees understood themselves as refugees and as part of these different refugee communities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet the experience of reading such diaries offers layers of storytelling that textbooks and novels can\u2019t communicate as the writers weren\u2019t assured happy endings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you&#8217;re reading diaries, there&#8217;s this tension because the writer doesn&#8217;t know how their life story is going to end,\u201d Sederberg said. \u201cA novelist or memoirist looks back on their life and is constructing a story. A diary writer doesn&#8217;t know if they&#8217;re going to survive. They don&#8217;t know how their story will end, and when you start reading it, there&#8217;s a similar kind of narrative tension to where you want to know what happens.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sederberg\u2019s experience is leading to a sophomore seminar that will be offered this winter, Bearing Witness: Holocaust Literature and Testimony. She also expects the project will help her write a book. In the meantime, she has a couple of written articles in progress and will present this fall at the German Studies Association conference. However, she also hopes her project and others like hers will have significance for people beyond academia in addressing worldwide themes surrounding immigration and how refugees are understood or misunderstood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs we think about the American reaction to global issues and migration, I think it helps to hear these stories and think historically about what it has meant to be a refugee\u2014to redefine these categories of who is granted asylum,\u201d she said. \u201cAmericans didn&#8217;t understand who German refugees were. A lot of people didn&#8217;t understand that they were persecuted by the Nazis, and I think some of those similar misunderstandings continue when we think about who qualifies as a refugee or being granted asylum status. I think this helps us to better understand what kinds of situations people are fleeing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newly unearthed diaries dating back at least 80 years are providing a fresh perspective on the Holocaust for a Kalamazoo College faculty member.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":17438,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[233,3],"tags":[224],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-17413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faculty-staff","category-news","tag-german"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Holocaust Diaries Detail Jews&#039;
