06/2014 - Interview de Sophie De Schaepdrijver
‘België tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog: tussen feit en fictie’ [La Belgique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale : entre fait et fiction]
La rédaction de Témoigner entre histoire et mémoire a rencontré Sophie De Schaepdrijver, historienne à la Penn State University (USA) et spécialiste de la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle est l'auteure de De Groote Oorlog. Het Koninkrijk België tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog [La Grande Guerre. Le Royaume de Belgique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale] (1997), qui a été republié l'année dernière par Houtekiet. À l'occasion du centième anniversaire du conflit nous l'avons interviewée à Bruxelles. Sophie De Schaepdrijver parle de son travail, de l'écriture de l'histoire de la guerre, des faits et de la fiction, de la vérité et du mythe et de l'utilité des commémorations.
Auschwitz Foundation – Remembrance of Auschwitz
The Auschwitz Foundation was founded in 1980 by Paul Halter, an Auschwitz survivor. Replacing the Amicale Belge des Ex-Prisonniers politiques d’Auschwitz-Birkenau Camps et Prisons de Silésie, the primary objective of the Auschwitz Foundation is to study the history and memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the Nazi terror in a sustainable and systematic way. The transmission of memory and the preservation of archives concerning these events complete this goal.
On the other hand, the Auschwitz Foundation does not want to limit itself to Auschwitz or the Holocaust, and this is expressed in the interest the Foundation has in all mass crimes committed by authoritarian regimes. The work and projects it carries out are resolutely multidisciplinary and extend to all mass crimes and crimes committed in the long historic term or in contemporary history.
To carry out this considerable task, the Auschwitz Foundation set up a Study and Documentation Centre in 2004: Remembrance of Auschwitz. Thanks to this new institution, which has a permanent staff of ten specialists, the promotion of scientific research and multidisciplinary publications has increased significantly.
