Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Lebenswirklichkeiten: Russischsprachige Juden in der deutschen Einwanderungsgesellschaft
Book SynopsisThe book deals with Jewish history and the present in Germany since 1989. The focus is on a quantitative and qualitative study in which young Russian-speaking Jews express themselves about their relationship to Germany and Israel, as well as about familiar cultures of remembrance and theirs Experiences as "Russians" and Jews in the German immigration society speak about social advancement and discrimination. Their understanding of Judaism, of largely secular life plans, but also of religious search, as well as old and new forms of Jewish communalization, are discussed. If these descriptions testify to a change in Jewish life in Germany, a historical comparative look at the special conditions of the Jewish post-war community in Germany shows that long-established and newly immigrated Jews may share more with each other than they previously assumed.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Emissär der jüdischen Sache: Eine politische
Book SynopsisJahrzehntelang vertrat der Berliner jüdische Politiker und Diplomat Richard Lichtheim (1885-1963) die Interessen der Zionisten gegenüber den herrschenden Mächten der Zeit. Als Emissär der Zionistischen Organisation bemühte er sich während des Zweiten Weltkriegs vom schweizerischen Genf aus um die Rettung verfolgter Juden und verstand dabei als einer der ersten zeitgenössischen Beobachter, dass es sich bei den nationalsozialistischen Massenmorden an den europäischen Judenheiten um ein Verbrechen ungekannten Ausmaßes handelte: um ihre systematische und totale Vernichtung. Zuvor hatte Lichtheim während des Ersten Weltkriegs im osmanischen Konstantinopel gewirkt, wo es ihm durch geschicktes Verhandeln gelungen war, die Maßnahmen der repressiven jungtürkischen Minderheitenpolitik von der jüdischen Ansiedlung in Palästina abzuwenden. Die sich wandelnde politische Realität in Europa und Palästina brachte Lichtheim immer wieder dazu, auch die eigenen Nationalismusvorstellungen zu überdenken: Verfocht er in der Zwischenkriegszeit noch die Maximalforderungen der Zionisten-Revisionisten, wurde er vor dem Hintergrund des Holocaust schließlich ein Anhänger der linksliberalen Partei Aliya Hadasha. Andrea Kirchner entfaltet Lichtheims von Brüchen und Neuausrichtungen geprägte Biografie und zeigt, wie eng diese mit der komplexen Geschichte der jüdischen Nationalidee verknüpft ist, deren Verwirklichung immer wieder existenziellen Bedrohungen ausgesetzt war.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG In Their Surroundings: Localizing Modern Jewish
Book SynopsisFrom the second half of the nineteenth century through to World War II, Eastern Europe, especially the territories that formerly made up the Pale of Settlement in the Tsarist Empire, witnessed a Jewish cultural flowering that went hand-in-hand with a multifaceted literary productivity in the Hebrew and Yiddish languages. Accompanied and sometimes directly affected by the dramatic political ruptures of the era, many authors experimented with various modernist poetics in the context of a culturally and literarily closely interwoven milieu. This beautifully illustrated catalogue presents for the first time some of the key figures of the era, including in each case a portrait of the author and a close reading of selected texts, including Yosef Ḥayim Brenner, Leah Goldberg, Moyshe Kulbak, and Deborah Vogel. Of particular interest here is the productive entanglement of cultures and literatures, of cultural contact and transfer, and the significance of space and place for the development of modern Jewish literatures.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Gegenläufige Gedächtnisse / thakirat moutaddah:
Book SynopsisThe memory of mass crimes constitutes the parameters of universal ethics. The memory of the Holocaust was the reason for this. The annihilation of European Jews was of paradigmatic importance. In the meantime, other memories of mass crimes are also calling for public memory and thus recognition. Such a pluralism of memories holds a not inconsiderable potential for conflict, especially if the different misfortunes are attributed to one and the same historical event - the Second World War. Then opposing constellations and competitions of memory appear - not only between the political cultures of western and eastern Europe, but also and especially between European and colonial memories. Dan Diner's essay, now available in a bilingual edition, takes up the problem of conflicting memories of the Second World War and the Holocaust in terms of history and memory. By reaffirming the meaning of "Auschwitz" as a breach of civilization, the conditions of historical judgment and recognition are reflected in the memory against this very background. Dramatic differences, even contradictions, between Western and non-European cultures - especially that of Islam - are heralded here.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Von Konstantinopel nach Genf: Quellen zum Wirken
Book SynopsisFor decades Richard Lichtheim, who was born in 1885, represented the interests of the Jewish national movement vis-á-vis the ruling powers of the time: during the First World War he was the representative of the Zionist organization in Constantinople, where he made a significant contribution to protecting the Yishuv, the Jewish settlement in Palestine, at. During the Holocaust he acted as an emissary for the Jewish Agency in Geneva, where he was one of the first to learn about the murder of European Jewry. He tirelessly tried to spread the word about the millions of murders and to organize help. At the same time, against the background of his diplomatic activities, Lichtheim's idea of Jewish self-determination in Palestine was updated: he changed from a convinced right-wing Zionist revisionist to a partisan of the left-liberal Aliya Hadasha. The source edition also provides insight into Lichtheim's diplomatic activities and the impact of this work on his conception of Zionism.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Uberlebenden vor Gericht: Auschwitz-Haftlinge
Book SynopsisThe Nazi trials in the Federal Republic were a forum in which the crimes of National Socialism were tried as early as the early post-war period. The Holocaust survivors and former concentration camp inmates had a particularly controversial task as witnesses, which, however, has so far received little attention from researchers. In many cases it was up to them alone to convict the accused with their reports. At the same time, they were exposed to massive distrust from the German judiciary, which considered the survivors too biased to make objective assessments. The interrogations and confrontations with the perpetrators also presented a high burden. Nevertheless, thousands of survivors gave testimony of their own free will and endured the hardships to advance the prosecution of the crimes. Using the example of four Auschwitz trials from three decades, Katharina Stengel examines the importance of the victims for the Nazi trials, how the lawyers dealt with them and their incomprehensible reports, how the witnesses themselves acted in court, what concerns they pursued and what conclusions they drew from their experiences.
