Learning History Through Culture: The Krakow Jewish Festival
Author(s): Kelman, Ari Y.
Editor(s): Gross, Magdalena H.; Terra, Luke
Date: 2018
Topics: Jewish Culture, Jewish Heritage, Festivals and Holidays, Main Topic: Culture and Heritage
Abstract: The Krakow Jewish Festival (known by its Polish acronym, FKZ) is among the longest-running Jewish cultural festivals in the world. If one factors in the 15,000 people that cram onto Szeroka Street for the Festival’s final (and free) concert, it must qualify as one of the biggest outside the State of Israel. Regardless of how its importance may be quantified, there is little doubt it has become one of the preeminent public celebrations of Jewish culture in Europe. It has also come to occupy a prominent place in the cultural calendar of the city of Krakow. For artists, musicians, and scholars of Jewish culture, it is a coveted stage.
Culture, Memory, Context: Reenactments of Traumatic Histories in Europe and Eurasia
Author(s): Salamensky, S. I.
Date: 2013
Topics: Main Topic: Culture and Heritage, Jewish Culture, Jewish Heritage, Attitudes to Jews, Memory, Memorial, Tourism
Abstract: In this article, I discuss what I term “Jewface” minstrelsy performance and “Jewfaçade” display in three contemporary contexts with highly divergent historical backgrounds: East-Central Europe, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Jewish Autonomous Republic, a fictitious-sounding but real colony established by Stalin in far eastern Russia near China and still extant today. Jewface encompasses music, dance, theater, and extra-theatrical modes of performance, in which non-Jews dress up and act like “Jews,” as historically imagined; Jewfaçade encompasses museum-type installations, as well as architectural and decorative constructions, depicting imagined “Jewish” life. These “Diaspora Disneys” vary from the education- and tolerance-oriented to the crassly exploitative and commercial to the bizarrely confused. None have much to do with actual Jews, but all convey a tremendous amount regarding dominant “host” cultures’ anxieties over not only their roles in past persecution and genocide but also their own present cultures, politics, and positions in the wider world today. Further, they present a wide array of models of memoriological projection and desire, in what I explicate as spectra of “plethoric” to “voidic” memoriological scenarios and “negotiatory” to “constitutory” memoriological strategies.
“Jewface” and “Jewfaçade” in Poland, Spain, and Birobidzhan
Author(s): Salamensky, S. I.
Editor(s): Valman, Nadia; Roth, Laurence
Date: 2014
Topics: Main Topic: Culture and Heritage, Jewish Culture, Jewish Heritage, Attitudes to Jews, Memory, Memorial, Tourism
Abstract: A “Jew-themed” restaurant provides its patrons with broad-brimmed black hats with foot-long sidecurls to wear, and the menu has no prices; patrons must bargain, or “Jew,” the staff down. A play billed as a tribute to a lost Jewish community ends in a gag: Death throws back his shroud to reveal an open-brain-pate wig, à la the horror flick Nightmare on Elm Street. In a “traditional Jewish wedding dance,” “Jewish wealth” is represented by a local luxury: vacuum-packed juice boxes. In parts of the world where Jews, once populous, have nearly vanished because of oppression, forced exile, and genocide, non-Jews now strive to re-enact what has been lost. In this essay, I will consider three general cases of what I term “Jewface” minstrelsy and

“Jewfaçade” display, in Krakow, Poland; the village of Hervás in western Spain; and Birobidzhan, capital city of Russia’s far-eastern Jewish Autonomous Region, which is known as Birobidzhan as well. Jewface-resembling the “blackface” prevalent in the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries-is the practice of music, dance, theatre, and/or extra-theatrical types of performance, primarily by non-Jews, intended to convey notions of historical Jewish life and culture. Jewfaçade involves architectural and decorative constructions, again mainly by nonJews, meant to evoke ideas of the Jew in similar ways. Ruth Ellen Gruber, the team of Daniela Flesler and Adrian Pérez Melgosa, and other journalists and scholars have documented what Michael Brenner has called “Jewish culture without Jews” in Poland and Spain, as well as elsewhere in Europe (Brenner 1997: 152). However, no comparative study has been made, and no scholar has approached this topic with regard to Birobidzhan. I will provide brief overviews of Jewface and Jewfaçade activities in Krakow, Hervás, and Birobidzhan. I will then demonstrate the ways in which the notions of the figure of the Jew and of local Jewish history are performed, or acted out in these three comparative geographical contexts. These cases, as, in conclusion, I will argue, represent three very different approaches to public memory and memorialization with regard to the Jew, and perhaps in regard to troubled historical legacies more generally.
Upamiętnianie Żydow w krajobrazie kulturowym Bobowej : "Przepracowanie pamięci"?

Abstract: W artykule podjęto problematykę upamiętniania Żydów we współczesnej Polsce, w dawnych sztetlach, na przykładzie miejscowości Bobowa w Małopolsce - niegdysiejszego centrum chasydyzmu i miejsca współczesnych odwiedzin Żydów, w tym pielgrzymek chasydów. W części teoretycznej zostały wprowadzone najważniejsze pojęcia socjologicznej teorii pamięci. W części empirycznej przedstawiono wyniki własnych zogniskowanych wywiadów grupowych przeprowadzonych w 2010 roku z liderami i zwykłymi członkami społeczności Bobowej. W artykule zanalizowano sposoby i rezultaty upamiętniania przedwojennej społeczności żydowskiej przez współczesnych mieszkańców Bobowej, nie-Żydów, w lokalnym krajobrazie pamięci, w kontekście stosunków polsko-żydowskich przed, podczas i tuż po II wojnie światowej. Przeprowadzone badania i analizy pozwalają stwierdzić, że jak dotąd w Bobowiej nie nastąpiło Ricoeurowskie "przepracowanie pamięci" o Żydach przez współczesnych mieszkańców.
Thrice Plundered: The Politics of Restitution with Regard to the Jews of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Author(s): Friedman, Francine
Editor(s): Ognjenovic, Gorana; Jozelic, Jasna
Date: 2021
Topics: Holocaust, Main Topic: Other, Memory, Restitution and Reparations, Communism
Abstract: The chapter deals specifically with a political attempt at history’s erasure. As detailed throughout the anthology, the manipulation and often willful misinterpretation of history in order to benefit one group while belittling the suffering of another group by changing the record of, or even denying, their experience has led to distrust among the groups involved, no less today than previously. The appropriation of private and communal property of a powerless or minority group by a country’s dominant group through manipulation of the historical record, treated here through a case study of the theft over many decades of the Bosnian Jewish community’s property, is, thus, a clear example of the politicization of history.
The sensorial life of amba: Taste, smell, and culinary nostalgia for Iraqi Jews in London and Israel
Author(s): Hart, Joel R.; Monterescu, Daniel
Editor(s): Edwards, Ferne; Gerritsen, Roos; Wesser, Grit
Date: 2021
Topics: Food, Main Topic: Other, Memory, Diaspora, Mizrachi Jews
Abstract: This chapter explores the connectivities and discontinuities of collective memory and sensory practices among two diasporic populations of Iraqi Jews in London and Israel. It shows how the Iraqi foodways of amba, a mango pickle condiment originating in colonial India, generate cultural value and social distinction across political borders. Following ‘the thing’, the research generates distinctive patterns of culinary meaning mediated through sensorial practices among migrant communities of Iraqi Jews. The chapter observes how culinary nostalgia is felt as a sensory form of memory that connects the body to place in the diaspora. Despite a melancholic reality of rupture, the recalling of eating amba connects Iraqi Jews in London to their homeland. Whilst amba’s arrival in Israel was marked by discourses of gastro-racism towards Iraqi immigrants, its popularisation has led to widespread consumption by Jews and Palestinians, and its distinct taste and aromatic persistence has generated gendered discourses that move beyond politicisation. The fragmented continuities between urban networks invoked by culinary nostalgia, taste, and smell offer an alternative reading of place. The articulations of place as sensorial mappings call for a relational understanding of food and the geography of city space.

Еврейские Сайты Знакомств И Еврейское На Сайтах Знакомств
Translated Title: Jewish Internet Dating Sites and the Jewish in Internet Dating Sites
Author(s): Ашкинази, Леонид
Editor(s): Молчанова, B. B.
Date: 2012
Topics: Internet, Main Topic: Other, Singles
Abstract: The author considers the pros and cons of the investigation of society by holding surveys of Internet sites or by content analysis of Internet resources (which could be called investigation of the society traces in the World Wide
Web). He classifies Internet dating sites based on different parameters: the way of data access, the level and form of payment, the target group. The article views Internet dating sites positioned as Jewish. Some of the latest are sites of dating service and of shadchens, but in most Internet dating sites (and all the major ones) personal contacts with the management are not necessary. The work studies ways of submitting information about the ethnic origin of visitors of the a.m. Internet dating sites and their conception of Judaism.
Еврейские Ценности И Самоидентификация У Еврейской Молодежи В Москве
Translated Title: Jewish values and identity among Jewish young people in Moscow
Author(s): Писаревская, Дина
Editor(s): Молчанова, B. B.
Date: 2012
Topics: Main Topic: Identity and Community, Jewish Identity, Youth, Surveys, Birthright (Taglit)
Abstract: The article is dedicated to the Jewish youth of Moscow. It is based on results of a survey conducted during 2011–2012 and their comparison with data of analogical research carried out in 2010–2011. The author stresses that Jewish self-identification among Jewish young people who actively participate in Jewish programs for the first year, exists. It has been impacted by their participation in Jewish enterprises and Jewish life, family archive and celebrating Jewish holydays. The self-identification of respondents who took part in the “Taglit” program has been also supported by their trip to Israel. The “newcomers” are also interested in lectures and seminars on Jewish history, culture and traditions whereas those, who participated in these programs for several years, are more interested in unusual actions and enterprises.

The Vicissitudes of Jewish Memory in Post-Communist Poland
Author(s): Kapralski, Slawomir
Editor(s): Pearce, Susan C.; Sojka, Eugenia
Topics: Holocaust, Holocaust Commemoration, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Memory
Abstract: In this chapter, Kapralski offers a sociological analysis of collective memory questions regarding Jewish-Gentile relations in present-day Poland. How are Poles marking, not marking, or resisting marking the Holocaust history in its changing landscapes? After describing the memory confrontations in post-1989 Poland generally, Kapralski zeroes in on the manifestations of these questions in Przeworsk, Poland. Among the struggles of carving out new lives in the uncertain realities of post-communism, competition for victim status arises between groups, playing out as battles over memory. This chapter traces the cultural, emotional, and political realities that face Poland as it confronts the weightiness of its history.
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.

“We Are Jewish and We Want to Help You”: Righteous Cross-Group Solidarity Toward Muslim Refugees in Vienna
Author(s): Binder, Werner; Mijić, Ana
Editor(s): Tognato, Carlo; Jaworsky, Bernadette Nadya; Alexander, Jeffrey C.
Date: 2020
Topics: Jewish - Muslim Relations, Main Topic: Other, Refugees, Social Justice, Social Movements
Abstract: Building on Jeffrey Alexander’s theory of the civil sphere, this chapter focuses on the work of Shalom Alaikum—Jewish Aid for Refugees, an NGO formed in Vienna in the wake of the so-called refugee crisis in 2015. Shalom Alaikum exemplifies a special case of the “righteous” in international migration because their work is influenced not only by cleavages in the Austrian civil discourse in general, but also by conflicts within the Jewish community, with its reservations about potential antisemitism among Muslim refugees. By examining the case of this NGO in its social and cultural environment, we shed light on the cultural codes and patterns employed in constructing cross-group solidarity with refugees. Jewishness appears to be an important symbolic marker for the group, informing and legitimizing its work, drawing on the memory of the Holocaust and the experience of being a vulnerable minority in the Austrian diaspora.
The Righteous of the Transnation: Jews, Muslims, and a Politics of Friendship in Berlin
Author(s): Heins, Volker M.
Editor(s): Tognato, Carlo; Jaworsky, Bernadette Nadya; Alexander, Jeffrey C.
Date: 2020
Topics: Jewish - Muslim Relations, Interfaith Dialogue, Interfaith Relations, Conflict Resolution, Main Topic: Other, Refugees
Abstract: Building on Jeffrey Alexander’s conception of civil repair, this chapter outlines and contextualizes the story of the Salaam-Shalom Initiative, which emerged in late 2013 in Berlin around a small group of Jewish residents who were later joined by Muslims and others. During the refugee crisis, Salaam-Shalom made headlines through a series of interventions aimed at combining a politics of openness toward the unexpected wave of asylum seekers with its broader agenda of improving the relations among migrant minorities in Germany. The central point is that Salaam-Shalom, like other multicultural solidarity movements, is engaged in an affective politics of civil repair that complicates Alexander’s dichotomy of “brotherhood and otherhood” by breaking down the umbrella categories of Germans and foreigners, Jews and Muslims.

Embodied conversions and sexual selves: New Jewish, Christian and Muslim women in the Netherlands
Author(s): Schrijvers, Lieke L.
Editor(s): Page, Sarah-Jane; Pilcher, Katy
Date: 2020
Topics: Conversion, Gender, Body, Jewish Women, Main Topic: Other
Abstract: In the Netherlands, religions are often positioned as opposite to secular ideals of women’s freedom. While women’s emancipation supposedly grants women their autonomy, religions are suspected of reaffirming gender inequality. In this religion-versus-emancipation dilemma, questions of the body are pertinent, since traditional religions are framed as restricting and regulating women’s bodies. Questions about modesty, sexual relations, clothing and food preparations often come up in such debates. There seems to be a particular tension for women who convert to religions that are often regarded as ‘gender conservative’, and this chapter sheds light on that field of tension. This expands the field of women’s conversion – which has typically focused on Islamic women – by employing a comparative analysis of interviews and participant observation with Jewish, Christian and Muslim Dutch women converts. Joining a religion that one was not raised in is a process of ethical self-fashioning through training and disciplining of both the body and mind. Converts have to learn how to eat, how to pray, how to dress and how to have sex in such a way that it permits them to give shape to their religious subjectivity and pious desires. What I found is that performing authenticity is a central and embodied characteristic of modern-day conversion stories in the ‘age of authenticity’. This performance is often played out through the sexual and gendered body and religious subject transformations were closely related to sexual self-fashioning. In order to understand these links between conversion, sexuality and the body, I focus on experiences and ideas about virginity and marriage, menstruation and homosexuality. In this chapter, I aim to show that sexual embodiments and ethics cannot be understood as either religious or secular, but rather as a new form of religious subjectivity within Europe as a space where authenticity has become the most important mode for selfhood.
Ritual Reproduction in Jewish Communities in Germany: The Case of Circumcision
Author(s): Tübel, Susanne
Editor(s): Demmrich, Sarah; Riegel, Ulrich
Date: 2020
Topics: Circumcision / Brit Milah, Interviews, Main Topic: Other, Jewish History, Ritual, Religious Observance and Practice, Religious Belief
Abstract: The study of Jewish religion shows that many concepts developed in view of Protestant Western contexts do not fit for empirical research on elements of the Jewish tradition and its religious understanding. Analyzing the Jewish ritual of circumcision, the concept of (individual) religiosity does not seem appropriate. Individual belief and individual religiosity are no precondition for the ritual taking place on the eighth day of a boy’s life. The here-presented study aims at reconstructing the ritual structure of circumcision with regard to the level of time in Jewish communities in Germany by using empirical data from qualitative interviews. Interestingly enough, the ritual reproduction of circumcision from generation to generation is independent both from the individual religiosity of the boy and his parents. The concept of (individual) religiosity is not effective in explaining the continuing transmission of the ritual and does not seem appropriate for research on other aspects of Judaism either. Alternatively, the concept of religious obligation and a wider understanding of transcendence connecting the individual with the Jewish community and Jewish tradition are more helpful to explain the ongoing ritual reproduction.

Islamophobia and Antisemitism in the Balkans
Author(s): Hoare, Marko Attila
Editor(s): Renton, James; Gidley, Ben
Date: 2017
Topics: Antisemitism, Islamophobia, Jewish - Muslim Relations, Main Topic: Antisemitism
Abstract: Antisemitism and Islamophobia are two phenomena that have seemingly been growing in parallel across the globe in the period since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. As discussed in other chapters of this book, the question of whether they are essentially similar to one another or fundamentally different is highly controversial. This chapter will examine the question from the perspective of the Balkans. There, violence and chauvinism against Jews and against Muslims have frequently gone hand in hand, but have also diverged at times from one another. The relationship of state policy and nationalist ideology towards Muslims and Jews has been shaped by a common framework, but varied according to political circumstances
Antisemitism, Islamophobia and the Search for Common Ground in French Antiracist Movements since 1898
Author(s): Gordon, Daniel A.
Editor(s): Renton, James; Gidley, Ben
Date: 2017
Topics: Antisemitism, Islamophobia, Jewish - Muslim Relations, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism, Politics, Racism
Abstract: The dawn of the twenty-first century was a testing time for ideals of a united front against racism in France, witnessing sharp disagreement among antiracists about the relative importance of antisemitism and post-colonial racism, including Islamophobia. A flashpoint for this debate was in 2004, when France’s best-known antiracist groups—Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l’amitié entre les peuples (MRAP), Ligue des droits de l’homme (LDH), Ligue internationale contre le racisme et l’antisémitisme (LICRA) and SOS Racisme—publicly broke ranks over precisely such a fault-line. This chapter aims to set this acrimonious debate in a much longer-term historical context, by asking whether the opposing positions of what have been termed the ‘Four Sisters’ of French antiracism can be explained by truly irreconcilable approaches.

Abstract: Отталкиваясь от распространенных в антисионистской кампании обвинений евреев-эмигрантов и отказников в меркантильности и потребительстве, статья рассматривает вещественный мир и его осмысление в советском и еврейском нарративах эмиграции, сосредотачиваясь на трех ситуациях: иммиграция вещей, эмиграция вещей и вещь как альтернатива эмиграции. Отмечая предубеждение против материального как традиционную установку мемуаристов, причисляющих себя к интеллигенции, автор тем не менее обнаруживает несколько категорий вещей, регулярно упоминаемых в разнообразных рассказах о своей и чужой эмиграции, и исследует то, как эти вещи проблематизируются и социализируются, превращаясь из
машинально используемых предметов в «социальные объекты», наделенные в антагонистичных нарративах различным, иногда противоположным, значением.
