»Staat« und »Wissenschaft«, die beiden Zentralkategorien des Titels dieses Aufsatzes, scheinen auf den ersten Blick eindeutig. Sie sind es jedoch keineswegs. Bevor auf die Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft (KWG) und ihre Geschichte während des »Dritten Reiches« eingegangen werden kann, soll deshalb zunächst in groben Zügen geklärt werden, was die Begriffe »Staat« und »Wissenschaft« während der NS-Zeit bedeuteten.
During the Holocaust 5.8 million people were killed; most of the victims did not leave behind any record that could help reconstruct their experience. While survivor history has been well studied in the last decades, how millions of voiceless victims experienced their persecutions has remained a terra incognita. Generally, while perpetrator history is well-documented, the voiceless victims’ perspective has resisted any form of documentation; their emotional and mental experiences conveyed through novels and memoirs have remained fragmented and they have often been dismissed as subjective and unreliable. Today Digital History and Digital Humanities offer new forms of inquiry and representations; they can unlock the emotional, mental, and physical realities which voiceless victims of the Holocaust or other genocides were forced to live in.
