#Judenrat

[nando161mando]

The "Palestinian Authority" is a modern-day version of Jewish councils during the Holocaust. The Judenrat, like the PA, was a comprador government led by defeatists and opportunists who hoped to save themselves by cooperating with their genocidal occupiers. In reality, they'll simply be killed last.

The rot at the core

[historicity-was-already-taken]

I’ve been seeing a lot of what I’m going to term “Judenrat Behavior” from American Jewish organizations and individuals over the last week and a half; I am speaking, of course, as a member of the American Jewish community.

The Judenrat were councils of highly respected Jewish individuals the Nazis set up as governing parties in the Jewish ghettos of Poland, Lithuania, and the Western USSR.

They were expected to carry out any and all German orders regarding the Jews, while they simultaneously sought to protect their communities from those orders as much as possible.

Comprised of highly educated, respected men, when the kashariyot (the female functionaries I refer to in my book title as “the girl bandits”) started showing up with evidence of mass murders of Jews in the territories Germany occupied in the summer of 1941, the Judenrat were not having it.

When the male leaders of the organized Jewish youth argued that the evidence needed to be taken seriously, the Judenrat were still not having it. They refused to believe that “this” could happen right in the “middle of Europe,” in the middle of the "civilized world."

Therefore, went the Judenrat's thinking, these young women and men were nothing more than dangerous, hysterical provocateurs. The evidence was right in front of them, and the Jewish Councils refused to accept the reality of the fact that the Germans were carefully, deliberately, and methodically massacring the Jews of Eastern Europe.

We often conflate the Jewish Councils with the Jewish camp guards and ghetto police. I don’t think that’s fair; with the exception of Chaim Rumkowski, the Councils were comprised of individuals who simply couldn’t conceive of This happening in the world they thought they understood.

They weren’t the collaborators the ghettos saw them as. They weren’t putting their parents in deportation trains. They weren’t informing on other Jews. They were just people incapable of, and ultimately, unwilling to see what they were living through for what it was.

Today, we all have the benefit of these histories to learn from. Denying what we see, what we hear, what government officials say won’t get us anywhere, besides maybe dead.

Right now they’re coming for the Latin American and trans communities. And we can’t just all sit back and reenact Martin Niemöller's "First they came for..." We just can't.

Judenrat core ✌️🤪✌️

Tapping the "your support and solidarity and care for Jews and Romani people and BIPOC should be more powerful than your hatred of nazis" sign so fucking hard rn.

Bcs u should support Jews and Romani people and BIPOC more than u hate nazis and some of u it is very clear that u couldn't give a shite about Jews and romani or BIPOC. You hate nazis but you've forgotten nazis aren't just generalised bigots or bad people and they have an ideology which targets "undesirables" and people who ate racially seen as inferior or less than. Only part of combating white supremacy and fascism is hating nazis and a lot of it is helping communities effected by white supremacy and fascism and listening to and understanding us.

Describing the collaborationist oppression of the Judenrat, the authors of the article point to the ideological face of this collaboration: „Zionism is the official and occupier-sanctioned ideology of the ghetto.” They state that „the ideas of Zionism and the ‚ideas’ of the fascist occupation have become so closely intertwined (…), that it is impossible to separate them from each other.” They reveal the common purpose that underlay the fascist-Zionist collaboration: „does not fascism fight, and most effectively at that, the ‚plague’ of assimilation, does it not ruthlessly and under coercion carry out the return of prodigal sons to the bosom of Israel, does it not collect the scattered and dispersed ‚chosen people’ not only from the backwater of the governorate, but also from almost all Europe and does it not gather them in ghetto concentrations? After all, isn’t the ghetto itself a substitute for the Jewish state?”

"For my first narrative book, more than twenty years ago, I researched the Bialystok Ghetto, and in particular, the life and thinking of my great-grandfather in this ghetto. It so happened that there was a fair amount of material: survivors had written memoirs; at least one young person had kept a journal throughout the existence of the ghetto; and a couple of survivors were still alive. My great-grandfather was a leader of the Judenrat. He was well-known, and people mentioned him in their recollections. Early on in the existence of the ghetto, he tried to make life in it liveable, as did others he worked with. Food needed to be brought in. Waste had to be taken out. Safety needed to be maintained. Early on, in the name of safety, my great-grandfather tried to stop young people in the ghetto from organizing a resistance. Closer to the end, in 1943, after the ghetto had been brutally and drastically reduced in physical size and population, my great-grandfather was using the food trucks he was in charge of to bring weapons into the ghetto. These were used during the Bialystok ghetto uprising.

What changed? His political position changed. His imagination changed. At the beginning, he didn’t know what was going to happen. He didn’t know that the Holocaust was possible. 

We do. We are not any smarter, kinder, wiser, or more moral than people who lived ninety years ago. We are just as likely to needlessly give up our political power and to remain willfully ignorant of darkness as it’s dawning. But we know something they didn’t know: we know that the Holocaust is possible.

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, I have had lines from a novella by the Russian writer Valeria Narbikova, which I once translated, playing in my head. It’s a novella that is written as though the author were just learning to think, to recognize the world. Two recurrent phrases are: “If there is something, then what’s it like?”—a plea for a reference, a comparison—and another: “Something always precedes that which follows.” When we compare, we are also comparing contexts and histories, and making predictions. This is, of course, part of what makes Holocaust comparisons so fraught: they predict the worst. One important objection I have heard to comparing Gaza to the ghetto: but there are no death marches out of Gaza and no death camps waiting for its inhabitants.

And this is why we compare. To prevent what we know can happen from happening. To make “never again” a political project rather than a magic spell. And if we compare compellingly and bravely, then, in the best case scenario, the comparison is proven wrong."

“genocides can’t be compared because each one is unique” as if literally anyone on planet earth making comparisons between genocides isn’t aware that history is more complicated than a set of infinitely repeating identical events. how fucking condescending can you get. the word genocide is a legal term that is meant to standardise our ability to identify a broad set of violent actions and behaviours as genocide even when they differ in the details, because the outcome is the same - a crime against humanity. if no genocide is comparable then genocide does not exist as a category of crime. to deny the comparability of genocides is tantamount to genocide denial

@cwnerd12 If we’re going to use “Uncle Tom” as shorthand for “oppressed person who chooses side of oppressor in hopes of being spared said oppression” in the context of the Holocaust, and specifically in the context of the Warsaw Ghetto, you have members of the Jewish police force, Gestapo informants, and some members of the Judenrat. Colloquially the term is “kapo.”

I used to use it freely towards other American Jews whose contemporary politics I find abhorent, but I’ve stopped. Because those Jews who colluded or collaborated had no way of knowing that the German goal was the extermination of all Jews. The Germans were excellent liars and propagandists, and no one wanted to believe that they could actually be trying to kill every European Jews.

Tl;dr I try to view these collaborators compassionately within their unique context, but YMMV
