2017 | Mikołaj Smykowski
This article examines how the Nazi extermination of the Chełmno Death Camp became a transformative event for the natural environment, akin to human trauma processing. The author analyzes the ecological and historical context of the Rzuchowski Forest, where the extermination of Jews occurred. The study focuses on the interplay between human and natural elements, highlighting the ecological consequences of the Holocaust, including the destruction of the forest ecosystem and the subsequent attempts to restore it. The author draws on the memoir of Heinz May, a German forester involved in the concealment of mass graves and the planting of trees to mask the site. The article explores the concept of "natureculture," emphasizing the complex relationship between human actions and natural processes. It also discusses the role of the landscape in memory and the ecological impact of the Holocaust, including the long-term effects on the forest environment. The study integrates ecological, historical, and philosophical perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of the ecological and cultural significance of the Rzuchowski Forest in the context of the Holocaust. The author argues that the landscape of the Rzuchowski Forest is an example of an ecoheritage, shaped by both human and natural forces. The article concludes that the landscape of the Rzuchowski Forest is a complex site of ecological and cultural memory, reflecting the interplay between human and natural processes in the aftermath of the Holocaust.This article examines how the Nazi extermination of the Chełmno Death Camp became a transformative event for the natural environment, akin to human trauma processing.
