Geraubte Identität

Stolen identity - the forced "Germanization" of "racially valuable" children during National Socialism, illustrated by the country of Poland. Heinrich Himmler, acting in his capacity as “Reich Commissioner for the Strengthening of German Foldom”, ordered the selection of "racially valuable" polish children for "Germanization" – the Teutonic blood had to be collected even if it meant kidnapping children. For this reason polish children from orphanages, schools, forster parents, parents who refused to sign the “Volksliste” and parents who had been murdered or sent to forced labor or concentration camps had to have a "racial" examination – children who possessed the Nordic features were regarded as suitable for the “Germanization” and were distributed in special children homes. At these special children homes the children were forced to give up their own identity step by step: the children got new German names and had to learn German, moreover contact with relatives at home was painfully forbidden. In Austria, known as "Ostmark" during National Socialism, two special places were found, where polish children were confronted with "Germanization practices": the children home "Alpenland" in Oberweis next to Gmunden and the resettlement camp "Parsch" in Salzburg.After a "successful Germanization" the children were placed in German and Austrian forster families. There the children were treated in different ways: some children became a part of the family, they felt safety and comfortable and were treated like their own children. Other polish girls and boys were treated badly: the forster families took advantage of their defencelessness, they abused and beat the polish children, they reagard them just as cheap labourer.After the war only a small number of such kidnapped children was tracked by the several tracking services like UNRRA, IRO or the Polish Red Cross. But further problems arose when German and Austrian forster families or the children themselves opposed the repatriation to Poland. Being back in Poland, the polish children were regarded as children of the enemy – regarded as “German” of the polish society.Geraubte Identität. Die gewaltsame "Eindeuschung" von "rassisch vollen" Kindern in der NS-Zeit. Am Beispiel Polen.In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Schicksal von polnischen Kindern in der NS-Zeit untersucht. Die Jungen und Mädchen wurden aufgrund ihres "rassischen" Erscheinungsbildes und eines psychologischen Gutachtens von namhaften Dienststellen des Deutschen Reiches als „eindeutschungsfähig“ bewertet und in die „Ostmark“ deportiert. Die Verantwortlichen des Verfahrens sahen in den Selektierten den erwünschten "wertvollen Bevölkerungszuwachs", die betroffenen Kinder mussten lediglich nationalsozialistisch indoktriniert werden, um die Ideale des NS-Regimes nicht nur äußerlich zu verkörpern. Polnische Jungen und Mädchen wurden aus Fürsorgeheimen, von ihren Vormündern und von ihren Pflegestellen fortgenommen, aus ihrem leiblichen Elternhaus sowie aus Familien, die die Eintragung in die DVL verweigerten oder ins Konzentrationslager gebracht worden waren, regelrecht verschleppt. Im Laufe ihres Leidensweges mussten sich die Kinder einem strengen Auswahlverfahren unterziehen und wurden mit spezifischen „Eindeutschungsmaßnahmen“, wie der „Verdeutschung“ des Namens oder dem Erlernen der deutschen Sprache konfrontiert. Die Betroffenen wurden somit schrittweise ihrer ursprünglichen Identität entledigt. In der „Ostmark“ wurde in der Nähe von Gmunden eigens ein Heim für „einzudeutschende“ Jungen und Mädchen errichtet – das Kinderheim „Alpenland“ in Oberweis, das eine zentrale Schaltstelle für die Vermittlung „einzudeutschender“ Kinder an Pflegestellen in der „Ostmark“ darstellte. Daneben ist noch das Umsiedlerlager „Parsch“ in Salzburg zu nennen, in dem auch „eindeutschungsfähige“ Jungen und Mädchen kurzfristig untergebracht und an Pflegefamilien im Raum Salzburg übergeben wurden. Die Vermittlung an eine deutsche bzw. österreichische Pflegefamilie stellte den „krönenden Abschluss“ der „Eindeutschungsverfahrens“ dar. Die Integration in diese „Ersatzfamilien“ verlief allerdings unterschiedlich: So wurden einige Kinder von ihren Pflegestellen als Arbeitskräfte ausgenutzt, andere Familien hingegen gaben den ausländischen Pflegekindern ein herzliches Zuhause. Infolgedessen lehnten so manche Jungen und Mädchen nach Kriegsende die Repatriierung in ihre ursprüngliche Heimat ab. Das Auffinden der polnischen Kinder war für die diversen Suchdienste nach Kriegsende mit enormen Schwierigkeiten und bürokratischen Hindernissen verbunden, nur ein Bruchteil der Kinder konnte gefunden werden. Für viele stellte die Rückführung in die Heimat allerdings eine seelische Belastung dar: Die Kinder wurden mit Vorurteilen der Nachkriegsbevölkerung konfrontiert und wurden zu Außenseitern degradiert.
Hope and strength in the Western Balkans
CC BY-NC-ND
The Western Balkans have been a crossing point between Central Europe and the East for centuries. Devastated by tragic conflicts, nationalism and neglected investments, the Western Balkan countries are striving to find a new equilibrium. Citizens and institutions in the Balkans have repeatedly affirmed their ambition to become part of the European Union and have made significant efforts to turn this dream into reality. The European Investment Bank (EIB) has done a lot in this region over the past 20 years. It has helped build pan-European transport corridors, supported direct foreign investment, helped redevelop urban areas, provided technical assistance and additional finance to enhance and develop social and economic infrastructure, and stimulated private sector growth to create jobs. Looking ahead, there is hope for a brighter and greener future for the Western Balkans. Matteo Rivellini is the Head of Division in charge of lending operations in Slovenia, Croatia and the Western Balkans at the EIB. This is the thirteenth essay in the Big Ideas series created by the European Investment Bank.
Japanese Media Cultures in Japan and Abroad: Transnational Consumption of Manga, Anime, and Media-Mixes
CC BY-NC-ND
In the last few decades, Japanese popular culture productions have been consolidated as one of the most influential and profitable global industries. As a creative industry, Japanese Media-Mixes generate multimillion-dollar revenues, being a product of international synergies and the natural appeal of the characters and stories. The transnationalization of investment capital, diversification of themes and (sub)genres, underlying threat in the proliferation of illegal audiences, development of internet streaming technologies, and other new transformations in media-mix-based production models make the study of these products even more relevant today. In this way, manga (Japanese comics), anime (Japanese animation), and video games are not necessarily products designed for the national market. More than ever, it is necessary to reconcile national and transnational positions for the study of this cultural production.The present volume includes contributions aligned to the analysis of Japanese popular culture flow from many perspectives (cultural studies, film, comic studies, sociology, etc.), although we have emphasized the relationships between manga, anime, and international audiences. The selected works include the following topics:• Studies on audiences—national and transnational case studies;• Fandom production and Otaku culture;• Cross-media and transmedia perspectives;• Theoretical perspectives on manga, anime, and media-mixes.

Energy in Africa
CC BY
This open access book presents a picture of the current energy challenges on the African continent (and the Sub-Saharan region in particular) and proposes pathways to an accelerated energy transition. Starting with an analysis of the status quo and the outlook for Africa’s energy demand and energy access, it provides an account of the available resources, including hydrocarbons and renewable energy resources, which are playing an increasingly crucial role. It then moves on to analyze the level of investment required to scale-up Africa’s energy systems, shedding light on the key barriers and elaborating on potential solutions. It also provides a suggestion for improving the effectiveness of EU–Africa cooperation. While mainly intended for policymakers and academics, this book also speaks to a broader audience interested in gaining an overview of the challenges and opportunities of the African energy sector today and in the future.

Computational Cognitive Modeling and Linguistic Theory
CC BY
This open access book introduces a general framework that allows natural language researchers to enhance existing competence theories with fully specified performance and processing components. Gradually developing increasingly complex and cognitively realistic competence-performance models, it provides running code for these models and shows how to fit them to real-time experimental data. This computational cognitive modeling approach opens up exciting new directions for research in formal semantics, and linguistics more generally, and offers new ways of (re)connecting semantics and the broader field of cognitive science.The approach of this book is novel in more ways than one. Assuming the mental architecture and procedural modalities of Anderson’s ACT-R framework, it presents fine-grained computational models of human language processing tasks which make detailed quantitative predictions that can be checked against the results of self-paced reading and other psycho-linguistic experiments. All models are presented as computer programs that readers can run on their own computer and on inputs of their choice, thereby learning to design, program and run their own models. But even for readers who won't do all that, the book will show how such detailed, quantitatively predicting modeling of linguistic processes is possible. A methodological breakthrough and a must for anyone concerned about the future of linguistics! (Hans Kamp) This book constitutes a major step forward in linguistics and psycholinguistics. It constitutes a unique synthesis of several different research traditions: computational models of psycholinguistic processes, and formal models of semantics and discourse processing. The work also introduces a sophisticated python-based software environment for modeling linguistic processes. This book has the potential to revolutionize not only formal models of linguistics, but also models of language processing more generally. (Shravan Vasishth)

Are Germany's current efforts to implement strict national legal requirements for social networks based in other EU member states compatible with the country of origin principle? Are there exceptions to which the federal and state legislators can rely on media, network and youth protection law? Or do the German regulations and proposed regulations violate European law? The first volume of the new series on Media Law & Media Theory examines the issues, taking into account the case law of the ECJ and the communications of the EU Commission.
