Conclusion
In December 2009 I had the privilege of participating in an unique gathering of scholars at Ditchley Park, near Oxford sponsored by the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter project. As is usual with such conclaves, the formal discussion of papers in panel sessions was useful, but the exchanges between sessions - over breakfast, or late into the night sitting in the common areas - were often far more revealing. Looking back on the conference as a whole, inc…
The Carpathian Diaspora
Well — yes, a new historiographical synthesis! A response to Lars Fischer
The Esh kodesh of Rabbi Kalonimus Kalmish Shapiro
Rabbi Kalonimus Kalmish Shapiro (1889-1943) was a spiritual leader of Hasidic Jews in the Warsaw ghetto during the Nazi occupation, where he continued to preach weekly sermons to his dwindling group of followers living in increasingly difficult circumstances. Discovered after the war by a construction worker clearing rubble from the destroyed ghetto and eventually published in Israel under the title Esh Kodesh('Holy Fire'), these weekly sermons l…
The prince in captivity. Reading Hasidic discourses from the Warsaw Ghetto as social and intellectual history
Out of the Red Shadows
Long a taboo subject in Soviet historiography, the Stalinist policy toward Jews is thoroughly examined in this revealing study by one of Russia's leading historians. Sifting through thousands of recently declassified documents in the formerly secret archives of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the KGB, Gennadi Kostyrchenko uncovers irrefutable evidence of Stalin's intentionally anti-Semitic policy. The documents describe the suppr…
The scattering of Amalek
D'apres de recentes etudes portant sur l'extension de l'antisemitisme, il apparait que l'Ukraine est la nation la plus antisemite des temps modernes. Pourtant ce phenomene est peu connu et peu rapporte dans la litterature. La barrage de la langue est l'une des raisons pour lesquelles les chercheurs se sont peu interesses a cette particularite. De plus, cette longue haine entre les Ukrainiens et les Juifs repose sur un conflit legendaire et une lu…
Jewish Representation in the Independent Ukrainian Governments of 1917-1920
The experience of Ukrainian Jewry from 1917 to 1920 is a paradox in modern Jewish history. At the same moment that the leaders of the Ukrainian revolutionary movement extended unprecedented civil rights to Ukrainian Jews, pogromists operating in the name of that same movement brutally terrorized hundreds of Jewish communities with violence and robbery. This strange incongruity has not been satisfactorily addressed; studies of the period have eith…
