Israelkritik zwischen Antisemitismus und Menschenrechtsidee : eine Spurensuche
Translated Title: Criticism of Israel between antisemitism and the idea of ​​human rights: a search for clues
Author(s): Kempf, Wilhelm
Date: 2015
Topics: Antisemitism: Israel-Related, Attitudes to Israel, Israel Criticism, Main Topic: Other
Abstract: Auch 70 Jahre nach dem Holocaust hat sich in Deutschland noch immer kein flächendeckender Konsens über die Unteilbarkeit der Menschenrechte durchgesetzt. Antisemitismus, Islamophobie und Fremdenfeindlichkeit sind besorgniserregend weit verbreitet. Ein Viertel der Deutschen sind antisemitische Israelkritiker, bei denen juden- und islamfeindliche Einstellungen miteinander Hand in Hand gehen, und deren (scheinbare) Parteinahme für die Palästinenser ihnen letztlich nur als Mittel dient, „das wahre Gesicht der Juden“ zu entlarven. Gut ein Zehntel vermeidet es, Kritik an der israelischen Politik zu üben, „weil man ja nicht sagen darf, was man über die Juden wirklich denkt“, und selbst jenes Viertel der Deutschen, das der Politik Israels wohlwollend gegenübersteht, tut dies oft nur, um selbst vor der Welt gut dazustehen. Jedoch kritisieren immerhin vier von zehn Deutschen die israelische Politik deshalb, weil sie für die Menschenrechte eintreten, Antisemitismus und Islamophobie gleichermaßen ablehnen und eine Politik verurteilen, die nicht nur den Palästinensern Unrecht antut, sondern auch Israel von innen heraus zu zerstören droht. Auch sie des Antisemitismus zu bezichtigen, kann weder im Interesse Israels noch im Interesse der in Deutschland lebenden Juden sein.
Workplace Antisemitism
Date: 2015
Topics: Main Topic: Antisemitism, Surveys, Work, Employment, Antisemitism, Jewish Perceptions of Antisemitism, October 7 2023 attacks + aftermath
Abstract: This report presents the findings of a joint survey issued by The Board of Deputies of British Jews, The Jewish Leadership Council, and Work Avenue.

The survey ran from 26 November 2024 to 8 January 2025 and garnered 427 responses. The intention of this research is to collate anecdotal evidence of the workplace experience of UK Jewry in a post-7 October
2023 world. The data presented is not statistically weighted, nor is it claiming to be scientifically representative, but it is a collection of the real life experiences of a minority group who - as this survey has found - feel
both vulnerable and unsupported in the workplace. We would welcome the commissioning of further/academic research on this subject.

In brief, this survey found patterns of exclusion, indifference and, in some cases, hostility experienced by Jews at work and in their Trade Unions in the UK. Whilst some respondents reported acts of empathy from
individual colleagues or managers, reporting of structural efforts to address workplace antisemitism or to even acknowledge the need for specifically tailored inclusion initiatives were absent.
Antisemitism and the Swedish school system
Author(s): Sarri Krantz, Anna
Date: 2015
Topics: Antisemitism, Antisemitism: Education against, Holocaust Survivors: Grandchildren of, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Schools: Seconday / High Schools, Jewish Children In Mainstream Schools
Abstract: This article analyses a case study of antisemitism, directed towards a young Jewish girl and the Stockholm school system. The girl defines herself as a Third Generation Survivor, a concept examined from a social anthropological perspective. The methodology during the research process includes collection of data about antisemitic attitudes in school and in-depth interviews with the subject of the case study. There are a multitude of studies on antisemitism in Sweden and Europe but there are seldom, if ever, accounts of how the affected individuals respond to the manifestations. The upper secondary school mentioned failed to follow the legislation, failed to address the problem and failed to take sufficient action when an antisemitic action occurred. The article proposes that improved strategies for handling undemocratic manifestations should focus on knowledge and education, as they are two of the most critical aspects when fighting prejudice and misconceptions.
Facing antisemitism: The struggle for safety and solidarity
Author(s): Feldman, David; Gidley, Ben; McGeever, Brendan
Date: 2015
Topics: Antisemitism, Anti-Antisemitism, Antisemitism: Education against, Jewish - Non - Jewish Relations, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Racism
Abstract: Current approach to tackling antisemitism not working, our report with the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism shows.

‍Antisemitism is deeply embedded into our common culture; it exists as a reservoir of racist stereotypes and narratives about Jewish people, which are normalised and widespread. Antisemitic incidents have spiked over the last year, particularly in response to the events of October 7th 2023 and the ongoing violence in Gaza. Yet, discussions around antisemitism have become highly politicised in ways that have been detrimental to Jewish communities’ safety and wellbeing.

‍Particularly damaging is the fact that these politicised discussions have inhibited the possibility of forging anti-racist solidarities with other communities that have been subject to the rise in far-right violence, and to the mainstreaming of racist rhetoric and policies.

‍Facing antisemitism highlights that:

Antisemitism is hardwired into UK society;
Current methods of defining, measuring and reacting to it are deeply contested and politicised;
The arguments that anti-Zionism always equates to antisemitism prevents meaningful and productive action to eradicate antisemitism in the UK;
Like other forms of racism, antisemitism in the UK consists of hateful attitudes and individual incidents but also institutional and structural racism;
The UK must move beyond framing and discussing antisemitism in ways that pit communities against one another, prohibit solidarity and encourage division;
Combating antisemitism must be undertaken as part of wider anti-racist initiatives, including building alliances with other racialised minorities.
‍
The Runnymede Trust urgently calls for a different approach to combating antisemitism, including from the government and wider anti-racist organisations.
Die Inszenierung Des Jüdischen: Konversion Von Deutschen Zum Judentum Nach 1945
Translated Title: The Staging of the Jewish: Conversion of Germans to Judaism after 1945
Author(s): Steiner , Barbara
Date: 2015
Topics: Conversion, Jewish Community, Jewish - Christian Relations, Interviews, Main Topic: Other, Post-War Jewish History
Abstract: Ein heikles Thema der deutsch-jüdischen Nachkriegsgeschichte. Weshalb wollten nicht-jüdische Deutsche zum Judentum konvertieren?

Das Judentum ist eine Religions- und Volksgemeinschaft, die nicht missioniert und in der aufgenommene Nichtjuden deshalb religiös einen prekären Status haben. Dass ausgerechnet christliche Deutsche nach 1945 vermehrt zum Judentum konvertierten, irritierte die überlebenden Juden.

Barbara Steiner untersucht die Aufnahmebedingungen für Nichtjuden, die Veränderungen der Motive und der biographischen Selbstpräsentation deutscher Konvertiten. Ihre Arbeit basiert neben umfangreichen Archivrecherchen auf der Auswertung von Interviews mit Konvertiten und den aufnehmenden Rabbinern.

Die Akzeptanzprobleme deutscher Konvertiten innerhalb der jüdischen Gemeinschaft, die aus ihrem Sonderstatus und dem besonderen historischen Kontext resultierten, werden ebenso erörtert wie deren Reaktionen darauf. Die Autorin kann trotz des von allen Beteiligten gleichermaßen gepflegten Tabus der Konversion erklären, wie es nichtjüdischen Deutschen im Schatten der Schoa gelang, ins Judentum aufgenommen zu werden.
Ritual Slaughter, Animal Welfare and the Freedom of Religion: A Critical Discourse Analysis of a Fierce Debate in the Dutch Lower House
Author(s): Vellenga, Sipco
Date: 2015
Topics: Circumcision / Brit Milah, Main Topic: Other, Politics, Populism
Abstract: In 2011, the Dutch House of Representatives voted for the first time in its history for banning the practice of unstunned ritual slaughter in accordance to Jewish and Islamic rites. How should this remarkable vote be understood? In order to answer this question, a critical discourse analysis has been carried out. Three discourses are discerned in the debate: ‘unstunned ritual slaughter as an outdated practice,’ ‘ritual slaughter as a form of ritual torture’ and ‘unstunned ritual slaughter as a legitimate religious practice.’ The growing parliamentary support for the first two mentioned discourses is related to recent changes in the Dutch political landscape. In a wider context, it is related to a shift in the national self-conception of the Netherlands and, linked to that, to a change in the perceived position of traditional religious minorities within Dutch society in the aftermath of 9/11 and the ‘Fortuyn revolt.’
Shadows from the Past: the Nazi-Regime, the Holocaust, and Germany's Relationship towards the Israeli-Palestinian Conflic
Author(s): Krell, Gert
Date: 2015
Topics: Antisemitism, Attitudes to Israel, Holocaust, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Israeli-Arab Conflict, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial
Abstract: As a consequence of the Holocaust, Israel’s security is officially regarded as part of Germany’s
“reason of state”. Yet the criteria for a responsible relationship between Germany and Israel are by
no means self-evident or without logical or practical contradictions. One of the complications is
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In order to better understand this complication, I examine two
familiar national narratives, one from each side, about possible connections between the Nazi era,
the Holocaust, and this conflict. I also put the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a broader historical
context. It turns out that the examined relationships are not as obvious as the familiar narratives
describe them. The origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are older than the Nazi era and the
Holocaust, and they also point to broader European responsibilities more generally, to Europe’s
nationalism, anti-Semitism, colonialism and imperialism – with irresponsibilities towards both
Jews and Arabs. In no way does such a comprehensive perspective affect Germany’s special historical responsibilities resulting from the Holocaust. But it puts the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a
more complete and also more honest framework, with consequences for Germany’s moral and
political position

Nazi indoctrination and anti-Semitic beliefs in Germany
Author(s): Voigtländer, Nico; Voth, Hans-Joachim
Date: 2015
Topics: Antisemitism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Surveys
Abstract: Attempts at modifying public opinions, attitudes, and beliefs range from advertising and schooling to “brainwashing.” Their effectiveness is highly controversial. We demonstrate that Nazi indoctrination––with its singular focus on fostering racial hatred––was highly effective. Germans who grew up under the Nazi regime are much more anti-Semitic today than those born before or after that period. These findings demonstrate that beliefs can be modified massively through policy intervention. We also show that it was probably Nazi schooling that was most effective, and not radio or cinema propaganda. Where schooling could tap into preexisting prejudices, indoctrination was particularly strong. This suggests that confirmation bias may play an important role in intensifying attitudes toward minorities.

Abstract: Galeria „Zagłada” jest częścią wystawy stałej Muzeum Polin. Wystawę tworzy siedem galerii historycznych (od X w. do czasów powojennych) oraz symboliczny „Las”, w których przedstawiono tysiąc lat dziejów polskich Żydów. Koncepcja galerii „Zagłada” została opracowana przez dwoje wybitnych polskich naukowców – prof. Barbarę Engelking i prof. Jacka Leociaka. Muzeum Polin zostało stworzone jako miejsce otwarte na dialog, refleksję i krytyczną analizę przeszłości. Zgodnie ze słowami Konstantego Geberta „jest to Muzeum pytań”. Według klasyfikacji Piotra Piotrowskiego Muzeum Polin należy do muzeów-forów, budujących społeczeństwo otwarte.

Sepharad – object of investigation? The academic discourse about Sepharad and Sephardim in Spain
Author(s): Menny, Anna
Date: 2015
Topics: Jewish - Non - Jewish Relations, Attitudes to Jews, Jewish Heritage, Main Topic: Culture and Heritage, Sephardi Jews, Memory, Jewish History, History
Abstract: The article discusses Sepharad as an object of investigation in Spanish (academic) discourse over the last two centuries. The historic overview can reveal a shift from a mere theological interest in Hebrew as a biblical language to an interest motivated by the idea of Sephardic Jewry as part of the national heritage, which emerged in the context of the Spanish nation-building process at the end of the nineteenth century. The discourses about Sepharad remained contradictory during the Francoist dictatorship, as can be illustrated by the example of the Instituto Arias Montano. Recent developments in Spain, which are analysed in the third part of the article, point to a process of diversification and popularisation when it comes to the Iberian–Jewish past.

Post-Communist Romania’s Leading Public Intellectuals and the Holocaust
Author(s): Voicu, George
Date: 2015
Topics: Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Holocaust
Abstract: Starting from the premise that the leading Romanian public intellectuals, widely perceived as representing the very intellectual elite of the country, have a major impact on the public opinion, the present study analyzes the positions and attitudes expressed by the latter — in books, articles, interviews, statements, etc. — with regards to the Holocaust. The study finds that there is a strong connection between the many distortions in the public image over the tragedy experienced by Jews during World War II and the opinions expressed by the aforementioned intellectuals.

European Muslim antisemitism : why young urban males say they don't like Jews
Author(s): Jikeli, Günther
Date: 2015
Topics: Antisemitism: Muslim, Attitudes to Jews, Interviews, Islam, Youth, Young Adults / Emerging Adulthood, Main Topic: Antisemitism
Abstract: Antisemitism from Muslims has become a serious issue in Western Europe, although not often acknowledged as such. Looking for insights into the views and rationales of young Muslims toward Jews, Günther Jikeli and his colleagues interviewed 117 ordinary Muslim men in London (chiefly of South Asian background), Paris (chiefly North African), and Berlin (chiefly Turkish). The researchers sought information about stereotypes of Jews, arguments used to support hostility toward Jews, the role played by the Middle East conflict and Islamist ideology in perceptions of Jews, the possible sources of antisemitic views, and, by contrast, what would motivate Muslims to actively oppose antisemitism. They also learned how the men perceive discrimination and exclusion as well as their own national identification. This study is rich in qualitative data that will mark a significant step along the path toward a better understanding of contemporary antisemitism in Europe.
Antisemitische Hass-metaphorik: Die Emotionale Dimension Aktueller Judenfeindschaft
Translated Title: Anti-Semitic hate metaphors: The emotional dimension of current anti-Semitism
Author(s): Schwarz-Friesel, Monika
Date: 2015
Topics: Antisemitism: Discourse, Hate, Language, Main Topic: Antisemitism
Abstract: Antisemitismus ist ein auf judeophoben Stereotypen basierendes Glaubens- und Weltdeutungssystem, das im kollektiven Bewusstsein der abendländischen Denk- und Gefühlsstrukturen verankert und im kommunikativen Gedächtnis durch seit Jahrhunderten reproduzierte Sprachgebrauchsmuster gespeichert ist. Die Inhalte dieses Systems sind nicht nur kognitiv, sondern maßgeblich auch emotional bestimmt. Dies spiegelt sich in aktuellen antisemitischen Texten und ihrer ausgeprägten Hass-Metaphorik wider. In diesem Artikel soll anhand empirischer Daten erörtert werden, welche Relevanz die (bislang kaum beachtete) emotionale Dimension für die Erklärung des aktuellen (und auch des historischen) Antisemitismus hat. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf dem Phänomen des VerbalAntisemitismus, also der durch Sprache vermittelten Gewalt gegen Juden und Judentum. Es geht um das (kulturell geprägte) Emotionspotenzial und die stereotyperhaltende Semantik sprachlicher Strukturen, die ein judeophobes Weltbild widerspiegeln. Dabei wird erläutert, auf welcher Konzeptualisierung der aktuelle Antisemitismus basiert, wobei das antisemitische Ressentiment als kulturhistorischer Gefühlswert erklärt wird.
Mesurer l’antisémitisme contemporain: enjeux politiques et méthode scientifique

Topics: Antisemitism: Monitoring, Antisemitism, Jewish Organisations, Methodology, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Antisemitism: Attitude Surveys
Abstract: Depuis la fin de l’année 2000, la multiplication des actes antisémites en France fait l’objet de
controverses politiques et scientifiques et de mobilisations impliquant des acteurs publics et privés:
l’État, des institutions de la communauté juive organisée, des intellectuels et chercheurs. L’évaluation du nombre et de la nature des actes, tout comme leur évolution, font l’objet d’interprétations
divergentes. Cet article retrace la chronologie de l’émergence de cette question comme problème
public et replace ces phénomènes dans un contexte national marqué par les appropriations du
conflit israélo-palestinien et des débats portant sur le multiculturalisme, l’islam et le racisme en
France. En interrogeant les outils méthodologiques mobilisés (sondages d’opinion, recensions
annuelles des violences et menaces) pour évaluer les différentes formes d’hostilité à l’égard d’un
groupe, la question de l’antisémitisme contemporain en France souligne la nécessité de repenser
les cadres d’analyse des dynamiques d’inclusion et de fragilisation de groupes minoritaires dans
une société démocratique.
Quinze ans de solitude: Juifs de France, 2000-2015
Translated Title: Fifteen years of solitude: French Jews, 2000-2015
Author(s): Trigano, Shmuel
Date: 2015
Topics: Antisemitism, Antisemitism: Christian, Antisemitism: Left-Wing, Antisemitism: Muslim, Antisemitism: New Antisemitism, Main Topic: Antisemitism
Abstract: Consists of thematically organized texts by Trigano, previously published in various French on-line newsletters, broadcast on the French Jewish Radio J, and at various conferences. They analyze the phenomenon of the new antisemitism, including accusations in the French press against the Jews and Israel, boycotts against Israel, a typology of anti-Zionists, alter-Juifs (Jews who identify as Jews but define Jews through the hostile view of others), and the deconstruction of Judaism. Exposes the specificities of French antisemitism since 2000, especially in the context of postmodernist thought, which encourages the creation of parallel and diverging interpretations of the past, including World War II. Argues that Holocaust revisionism and denial have enabled Faurisson, inter alia, to attain huge media coverage. Emphasizes the role of the Internet in the politicization of history, and shows how the usurpation of Jewish history and heritage by the Left on behalf of the Palestinians has roots in Christian supersessionist theology. Notes that rejection of the Jews and Israel are also based on the claim that monotheism is the source of phallocracy. Characterizes the European Union as a new imperialist power, which destroys nation states and national identities, and rejects Jewish autonomy. Concludes that present-day antisemitism is a massive phenomenon, which threatens the foundations of modernity and European civilization. The very survival of the Jewish people is at stake.
Страдание И Спасение: Паметта На Еврейските Общности В Русе, Шумен И Варна

Editor(s): Ненов, Николай
Date: 2015
Topics: Anthropology, Holocaust, Holocaust Commemoration, Holocaust Survivors, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Memory, Jewish Community, Oral History and Biography
Abstract: Настоящият сборник съдържа устни разкази на еврейските общности за самите тях и живота им в Русе, Шумен и Варна. Разказите са подредени в осем глави, които съответстват на различните антропологически категории и представят чуто или преживяно от първо лице. Хронологията в книгата е съобразена единствено с битието в житейските цикли и поради това във всяка отделна глава може да се проследи картината за свят на различните поколения хора.

Разказите са резултат от теренно проучване, проведено през пролетта на 2015 година. То отразява не само състоянието на градските общности на евреите в Русе, Шумен и Варна, но осветлява паметта за тях, описва хора и събития, отнасящи се и за онази част от българските евреи, които днес живеят в държавата Израел. Тридесет наши сънародници – 17 жени и 13 мъже, чрез своите разкази и спомени изграждат впечатляващ териториален обхват на проучването, който включва 27 български населени места и в действителност покрива картата на страната.

Antisemitismus im deutschen Mediendiskurs Eine Analyse des Falls Jakob Augstein
Author(s): Betzler, Lukas; Glittenberg, Manuel
Date: 2015
Topics: Main Topic: Antisemitism, Antisemitism: Discourse, Media, Newspapers, Magazines and Periodicals
Abstract: Antisemitismus wird in jüngerer Vergangenheit mit hoher diskursiver Präsenz artikuliert, ohne als solcher öffentlich kritisiert zu werden. Ein prominentes Beispiel für diese Tendenz ist die SPIEGEL-Online-Kolumne Im Zweifel links, in der Jakob Augstein wiederholt antisemitische Stereotype und anti-israelische Ressentiments bedient(e). Erst als das Simon-Wiesenthal-Center Ende 2012 auf diesen Umstand aufmerksam machte, indem es Passagen aus der Kolumne auf Platz neun seiner Liste der Top Ten Anti-Semitic/Anti-Israel Slurs setzte, hob in den deutschen Medien eine Debatte an. In dieser Debatte wurde die Kritik an Augstein jedoch überwiegend pauschal zurückgewiesen und eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Antisemitismus vermieden.
Der Band analysiert die Kolumnentexte Augsteins sowie die ›Augstein-Debatte‹ aus antisemitismus-kritischer Perspektive und gibt damit Aufschluss über verbale Formen und diskursive Strategien des Antisemitismus im deutschen Mediendiskurs.

Abstract: : L'homosexualité féminine dans le judaïsme et l'islam : textes et contextes Puisque les textes religieux jouent un rôle central dans la condamnation de l'homosexualité dans les religions institutionnelles 1 , nous commencerons par explorer les principaux textes du judaïsme et de l'islam sur l'homosexualité, même s'ils accordent souvent moins d'attention à l'homosexualité féminine comparativement à l'homosexualité masculine. Nous soulignerons l'émergence d'une contestation de la validité et de la pertinence du discours dominant ainsi que des relations de pouvoir à l'oeuvre dans sa production, sa légitimation et sa perpétuation. Nous nous pencherons ensuite sur les positions socioculturelles et politiques des lesbiennes juives en France et des lesbiennes musulmanes en Grande‑Bretagne 2. Leur statut est triplement minoritaire : minorité culturelle et religieuse, minorité sexuelle et minorité de genre. Nous montrerons enfin comment ces femmes résistent à l'homophobie, à côté d'autres formes de discrimination, tout en préservant leurs appartenances identitaires.

Topics: Holocaust Education, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Schools: Non-Jewish
Abstract: Today, the extermination of Jewish communities by the Nazi regime and its collaborators, namely the Holocaust, forms an integral part of the international political agenda. Although this dealing with the Holocaust appears normal for us today, this was not always the case, but is the result of extensive social and political processes. In the course of this development the awareness of the special relevance of the extermination of about 6 million Jews has increased. Since the 1990s a process has emerged, that can be characterized as the universalization of Holocaust remembrance. The commemoration of the extermination of the European Jews is no longer an exclusive part of the different national cultures of remembrance, but has become an integral part of international memorial policy. An important event in this context has been the “Stockholm International Forum on the Holocaust” in the year 2000 where mainly European leaders as well as other high-ranking politicians, historians and teachers engaged with Holocaust education, Holocaust remembrance and Holocaust research. The idea was to establish an international organization that would expand Holocaust education worldwide. The aim of the present dissertation is to show how the Luxembourgian school system deals with this traumatic event that is the Holocaust and how it reacts as a system to expectations towards Holocaust and schooling, to find out how the school system works. The dissertation does not address questions as to show how the Holocaust should be taught in schools nor whether or not the Holocaust should be taught in schools at all. The dissertation analyses the particularities of teaching the Holocaust, as well as its role in the curriculum in a broader understanding of an analysis of parliamentary debates, syllabi, teaching material and the school practice. The latter includes the classroom settings and the so-called alternative teaching material like scholarly resources on the Holocaust like films, visits to museums, to concentration and extermination camps or the use of testimony from Holocaust survivors.

Fertility differentials among Serbian Jews
Author(s): Čvorović, Jelena
Date: 2015
Topics: Main Topic: Demography and Migration, Demography, Ashkenazi Jews, Fertility, Sephardi Jews
Abstract: Recent studies tend to validate the important role played by culture and especially religion in fertility behaviours. This paper investigates a link between religiosity and fertility among Serbian Jewish populations, namely the Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews. It is found that among Serbian Jews, in spite of general low levels of fertility, religiousness (measured by time devoted to religious activities) and ethnic origin contribute to the fertility differentials. This paper sets out to explore the relationship between religiosity and fertility among Jews in Serbia and whether religiosity has contributed to the fertility differential between the main branches of the Serbian Jewry, namely the Sephardim and Ashkenazim.

Hungary and the Distortion of Holocaust History: The Hungarian Holocaust Memorial Year 2014
Author(s): Mindler-Steiner, Ursula K.; Kovács, Henriett
Date: 2015
Topics: Holocaust, Holocaust Memorials, Holocaust Commemoration, Communism, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Memory, Memorial, Post-1989
Abstract: This paper deals with the Hungarian Holocaust Memorial Year 2014 and the ongoing debate about how to assess Hungary’s involvement in the Holocaust. By introducing the Holocaust Memorial Year 2014,erecting the Monument on the German Occupation and initiating a Memorial to Child Victims of the Holocaust(the House of Fates), the Hungarian government tried to establish a common narrative about the Holocaust in Hungary. For various reasons, however, this attempt failed. Instead, it turned out that the anniversary year 2014 fostered the emergence of diverse new cultures of commemoration at different levels of society. This study discusses the reasons for these developments and provides an overview of the (public) events surrounding commemorations in the Holocaust Memorial Year, thus exploring Hungary ’s process of coming to terms with its past. The events in 2014 were accompanied by disputes at multiple levels that were held in the public domain and involved all types of traditional and modern media. This study highlights the reactions to several statements and explains how they came about. Our aim is to engender interest in further scholarly examination.

Caught Between Historical Responsibility and the New Politics of History: On Patterns of Hungarian Holocaust Remembrance
Author(s): Laczó, Ferenc
Editor(s): Mitroiu, Simona
Date: 2015
Topics: Holocaust Commemoration, Holocaust, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Post-1989, Memory
Abstract: In the last decade, questions concerning how Hungarian society has reflected on the role the country played during World War II and how it has confronted Hungarian co-responsibility for the Holocaust in particular have been raised with new urgency. This chapter discusses four major interpretative divides, followed by a section which sets this discussion within two broader contexts and a section on recent trends in Hungarian Holocaust remembrance. It shows that the spread of more self-critical Hungarian perspectives on the history of the Holocaust after 1989 has been followed by attempts to weaken their impact and even to counter their influence. The societal unwillingness to recognize Hungarian co-responsibility appears to have grown in recent years. However, this trend cannot be seen as resulting from a lack of emphasis on the history of the Holocaust. Rather, it seems to be the consequence of self-critical interpretations coinciding in time with and being contested by an ever more marked ethno-nationalist political and cultural shift.
