Coens, Leavys, and others: Anglicisation, assimilation, and “Jewish” surnames in Ireland in the early 20th Century
Anglicisation in this context is the assimilation of names into the dominant English culture, whether for Jewish immigrants or native Gaels. Biblical names were present in Ireland via both Christianity and English immigration before the period under consideration here, while the process of anglicisation of Gaelic names led to the emergence of surnames in Ireland that are typically regarded as Jewish elsewhere, at a time when there were effectivel…
Germans and Jews since the Holocaust
"The relationship between Germans and Jews has been a difficult one throughout history. Pól Ó Dochartaigh examines this relationship, encompassing both German and Jewish perspectives. He also looks at efforts both to remember the Holocaust, and to forget it, movement towards recompense and reparation, and the survival of antisemitism. "
Introduction: The GDR Between Conformism and Subversion
‘Die zweite deutsche Diktatur’, as the GDR has often been called,1 is a linguistic formulation that creates a sense of unease through the apparent equation with ‘die erste deutsche Diktatur’, Germany under the National Socialist regime. When conservatives are being particularly polemical they even point to the word ‘socialist’ as being common to both, as if the ‘socialist’ element in Nazism was anything other than rhetorical, at least after the N…
Günter Grass's Im Krebsgang as a German Memory Contest Without Jews 1
Günter Grass's novella Im Krebsgang has been widely received as a text that is central to the new literary and political engagement with German victimhood in 1944–5 that emerged at the turn of the century. The inherent danger in failing to address German suffering in mainstream discourse, the text appears to suggest, is that the way is left open to a neo‐Nazi agenda that relativises the Holocaust and thus undermines Germany's attempts to come to …
Ostpolitik, Nordpolitik’: Partition and National Identity in Germany and Ireland
This paper looks at the effects of partition in both Germany and Ireland on national identity. It identifies certain parallels in the ways that official and unofficial attitudes developed over time in the two countries during partition/division and aims to show that attitudes towards the question of national identity among large sections of the populations of all four states were frequently at variance with officially stated positions on the ques…
Philo-Zionism as a German Political Code: Germany and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Since 1987
This article traces the development of German-Israeli relations since 1987/89, with particular reference to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A brief outline of attitudes before the late 1980s forms the introduction. This is followed by an outline of the events that have contrived to change the circumstances in which the German-Israeli relationship has been carried on since 1987. The article then engages in an analysis of the nature of those rela…
