Despoliation, Reparation, Compensation: The Case of the Jews in France
Author(s): Wieviorka, Annette
Editor(s): Krausz, Ernest; Tulea, Gitta
Date: 2002
Topics: Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Holocaust Survivors, Holocaust Survivors: Children of, Holocaust Commemoration, Holocaust, Jewish Community, Restitution and Reparations
Abstract: The question of the destiny of despoiled Jewish property and its restitution or compensation to the survivors came onto the international and national scene at the beginning of the 1990s. The year 1995 marks both the last of the fiftieth anniversaries of the main dates of the persecution of the French Jews and the ensuing destruction of part of the community, and a break in the constant return to the memory of destruction. The restitution, like the compensation, was given to the Jews as individuals. The chapter evaluates the extent of the despoliation and indicates to which entities, physical or moral, it was beneficial. The first problem concerns the evolution of the Jewish community in France. In this field the Mission's recommendation for the use of money coming from the deprived properties marks a stage. The second problem concerns the particular approach connected with the time of the Holocaust.

Remembering the Victims: Vojvodina Holocaust Memorials
Author(s): Ungar, Olga
Editor(s): Terpitz, Olaf; Hansen-Kokoruš, Renate
Date: 2021
Topics: Holocaust Commemoration, Holocaust Memorials, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial
Abstract: The article analyzes material gathered for the project “Vojvodina Holocaust Memorials”, which studies patterns of Holocaust commemoration in Vojvodina. This comprises pioneering research that seeks to contribute to contemporary discussions on cultural memory, introducing the case of the Vojvodina Holocaust memorials. The article focuses on memorials located in Jewish cemeteries and at the sites of destroyed synagogues. After an introduction and brief historical survey of Vojvodina’s Jewry, the article provides more detailed analysis of the memorials and commemoration patterns of the Holocaust victims developed by both the Jewish and general community.

Given Names of Czech and Moravian Jews in the Post-War Period
Author(s): Dvořáková, Žaneta
Editor(s): Чолева-Димитрова, Анна; Влахова-Ангелова, Мая; Данчева, Надежда
Date: 2021
Topics: Birth, Family and Household, Age and Generational Issues, Main Topic: Other, Post-1989, Language
Abstract: The study is based on onymic material from birthday and death notices of members of Czech Jewish communities published regularly in the bulletin Roš Chodeš (646 names), and on a sociological survey organised on-line (26 respondents). The choice of civil names for Jewish children born in the post-war period was influenced by the political and social climate in communist Czechoslovakia. Names popular with the Czech majority were preferred because Czech Jews had a tendency to hide their identity. After the revolution of 1989 and the fall of communism, the situation changed. Since then, we can see the return of traditional Hebrew names given to (not only) Jewish children. Looking for Jewish roots and interest in Judaism, brings the choice of “religious” names in adulthood that could be used only for synagogue, or publicly as second given names.

Jews in Eastern Europe and Russia since the End of Communism
Author(s): Polonsky, Antony
Date: 2013
Topics: Jewish Revival, Main Topic: Other, Post-1989
Abstract: This chapter highlights how the collapse of communism in eastern Europe and the Soviet Union initiated a new period in the history of the Jews in the area. Poland was now a fully sovereign country, and Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, and Moldova also became independent states. Post-imperial Russia faced the task of creating a new form of national identity. This was to prove more difficult than in other post-imperial states since, unlike Britain and France, the tsarist empire and its successor, the Soviet Union, had not so much been the ruler of a colonial empire as an empire itself. All of these countries now embarked, with differing degrees of enthusiasm, on the difficult task of creating liberal democratic states with market economies. For the Jews of the area, the new political situation allowed both the creation and development of Jewish institutions and the fostering of Jewish cultural life in much freer conditions, but also facilitated emigration to Israel, North America, and western Europe on a much larger scale.
Jewish Museums in the Federal Republic of Germany
Author(s): Bertz, Inka
Editor(s): Cohen, Richard I.
Topics: Holocaust Commemoration, Holocaust Memorials, Jewish Museums, Main Topic: Culture and Heritage
Abstract: This chapter examines the history of Jewish museums in the Federal Republic of Germany. It describes the different phases of public presentations of Jewish history and culture characterized by dramatic changes in museological emphases. These include the first phase in the early 1960s which coincided with efforts at examining the history and legacy of National Socialism and the Holocaust; the second phase began in the mid-1970s with the founding of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft judischer Sammlungen; the third phase in the 1980s; and the fourth phase in which Holocaust remembrance was reconfigured.

The Work and Recommendations of the Polish–Israeli Textbooks Committee
Author(s): Eden, Shevach
Date: 2001
Topics: Main Topic: Education, Holocaust Education, Antisemitism, Israel-Diaspora Relations, Jewish - Non - Jewish Relations, Curriculum
Abstract: In 1991 a cultural agreement was signed between Poland and Israel, one of whose resolutions was to establish national committees in both countries to examine history and geography textbooks and their treatment of the two nations, with the aim of rectifying mistakes that could lead to prejudices and distortions of the truth. Discusses the functioning of the committees between 1992-95. One prime area of concern dealt with by the scholars who examined the books was the indifference of the majority of Poles to the fate of the Jews in World War II. Topics suggested for inclusion in Polish history textbooks were the treatment of surviving Jews (e.g. the Kielce pogrom), the role of the Polish Catholic Church in spreading antisemitism, and continuing antisemitic stereotypes in a Poland largely without Jews. Members of the Polish committee raised questions about anti-Polish stereotypes in Israel (e.g. identifying Poles with Nazis) and faults in the program of Israeli student trips to Poland. The committees drafted recommendations for changes in the textbooks to further mutual understanding.
The Kraków Jewish Culture Festival
Author(s): Gruber, Ruth Ellen
Date: 2003
Topics: Jewish Culture, Jewish Heritage, Jewish Revival, Main Topic: Culture and Heritage, Post-1989
Abstract: This chapter describes on the Kraków Festival of Jewish Culture, founded in 1988 by Jewish intellectuals Janusz Makuch and Krzysztof Gierat. The public embrace of Jewish culture in Poland had its roots in the anti-communist dissident movements of the 1960s and 1970s and developed steadily after the success of Solidarność in 1980 opened up new cultural and intellectual freedoms that were only partially stifled by the imposition of martial law in 1981. The pervasiveness of underground networks forced some relaxation of official strictures, too. Many taboos remained in place, but from the early 1980s on, with official sanction that at times verged on co-option, books on Jewish topics were published, research on Jewish subjects was carried out, and exhibitions, concerts, and performances on Jewish themes were held with increasing frequency. The Kraków festival was a milestone in this process and throughout the 1990s served as an important, continuing catalyst, changing and developing as overall conditions in post-communist Poland evolved.
From Silence to Recognition: The Holocaust in Polish Education since 1989
Author(s): Szuchta, Robert
Date: 2007
Topics: Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Holocaust Education, Curriculum, Schools: Non-Jewish, Post-1989
Abstract: This chapter focuses on the implementation of educational reforms since 1989, which aimed to integrate the subject of the Holocaust into Polish schools. It describes textbooks from the first half of the 1990s that were still marred by common stereotypes, such as Jewish passivity in the face of German aggression. It also examines textbooks since the late 1990s representing Jewish reactions to Nazism with more nuance and situating the fate of Poland's Jews in a larger historical context. The chapter discusses the subject of the Holocaust in several schools that reside in the shadow of Polonocentrism and explains how it is treated like an appendage to the dominant history of Polish heroism and martyrdom under the German occupation. It points out that the positive shift in attitude in Polish schools, where Polish teachers no longer ask if the Holocaust should be taught, but how to teach it.
So Many Questions: The Development of Holocaust Education in Post-Communist Poland
Author(s): Ambrosewicz-Jacobs, Jolanta
Date: 2007
Topics: Holocaust Memorials, Holocaust Commemoration, Attitudes to Jews, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Surveys
Abstract: This chapter looks at the results of a national survey of Polish students in 1998, which indicates that the students' knowledge about the Holocaust is characterized by high levels of ignorance, misperception, confusion, and defensiveness. It mentions that students disagreed that Jews suffered more than Poles during the Second World War and inflated the degree of Polish assistance to Jews. It also talks about educators in post-communist Poland that responded to the students by undertaking a significant expansion of Holocaust education. The chapter presents abundant evidence of the promising development in schools and university departments, including newly founded initiatives throughout Polish civil society. It cites how the Stockholm Declaration was signed by the Polish government in January 2000 to allow schools to teach the Holocaust in schools.

Does 'Polish Antisemitism' Exist?: Research in Poland and Ukraine, 1992 and 2002
Author(s): Krzeminski, Ireneusz; Garliński, Jarosław
Date: 2017
Topics: Antisemitism, Attitudes to Jews, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Surveys
Abstract: IN 1992 I led a team from the Institute of Sociology at Warsaw University which sought to analyse Polish attitudes to Jews. One thousand and eleven Poles over the age of 18 were surveyed by the Social Research Workshop in Sopot. This was repeated in 2002 with 1,098 respondents, whilst another survey was conducted in 2003 by Sotsioinform of 1,000 Ukrainians. A fourth survey was conducted by a team from the Workshop on the Theory of Social Change in 2012 of 1,200 Poles.1 This chapter summarizes the results of the first three surveys in English, in preparation for the publication of the results of the 2012 survey in a forthcoming volume of Polin.
Polish National Antisemitism
Author(s): Krzeminski, Ireneusz
Date: 2019
Topics: Antisemitism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Surveys
Abstract: n 2016 I published the results of three surveys, two on antisemitism and xenophobia in Poland and one on antisemitism and xenophobia in Ukraine, in Polin 29. The first of these was conducted in 1992, at the very start of Poland’s turn to democracy. The second, conducted ten years later in 2002, coincided with the end of the transition to democracy and just before Poland’s acceptance into the European Union. Shortly afterwards, in 2003, thanks to a grant from the Polish Committee of Scientific Research, we conducted a comparative study in Ukraine.¹

I now present the conclusions of a fourth survey, conducted in Poland a decade later in 2012 and representing a time when democracy was supposedly being consolidated.2 This survey reveals some optimistic changes in Poles' behaviour and attitudes towards Jews and 'Others' in general. It shows, however, some very disturbing features. These would be felt some years later when the right-wing, nationalist-Catholic Law and Justice Party (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość; PiS) won the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2015. This new material adds to the picture that emerged from the previous surveys, but other features are evident as well. We were unable to repeat the survey in Ukraine because of the outbreak of social protest and the occupation of Maidan in Kiev in 2013.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
