Natalia Aleksiun "Aftermath - Lwów in the Eyes of Jewish Survivors?"

Lectures and Discussion Program "Jewish Days at the City Hall: Communities, Milieus and States in the 20th Century Contested Cities" Natalia Aleksiun "Aftermath - Lwów in the Eyes of Jewish Survivors?" August 3, 2016 In his testimony for the Soviet Special Commission, historian Filip Friedman speculated that two thousand Jews had been alive in the city when the Soviet Army entered it in July 1944 compared to abour 150 thousand on the eve of the German occupation. A native of Lwów, Friedman had himself escaped from the Janowska camp and survived in hiding during the war. While his statement to the Soviet Special Commission focuses on the destruction of the Lwów community, it also raises questions about the experiences of the men, women and children who were still alive in the fall and winter of 1944. Among members of the newly formed Jewish Committee, which became a magnet for all Jews arriving in Lwów, survivors were said to belong three categories: “Aryans” who had survived with the so called Aryan papers, “forest people” who had joined the partisans, and “rats” who had lived in hiding. How did those who came out of hiding try to rebuild their lives as individuals and as a community in Soviet Lwów? What were their priorities and dilemmas?
