Hannah Pollin-Galay. Ecologies of Witnessing
I asked Pinchas Gutter, a Holocaust survivor and frequent lecturer on the topic, what he ate for breakfast in the ghetto. “I had breakfast, I had porridge for breakfast. Oatmeal,” he responded, “I haven’t had lunch yet.” Of course, Gutter did not have oatmeal and porridge for breakfast in the Warsaw Ghetto, where he spent three and a half years before being deported to the Majdanek concentration camp after the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. And, in fact…

Leonid Smilovitsky. Jewish Life in Belarus
Leonid Smilovitsky’s Jewish Life in Belarus: The Final Decade of the Stalin Regime (1944–53) is one of several recent books to look at the fate of Jews in the Soviet Union in the immediate aftermath of World War II. For many years, historians largely assumed that the Jews who survived the war either sought complete assimilation into Soviet society or were too cowed by governmental persecution to assert their Jewish identities. Only a few brave re…
Disenchanted tailor in “illusion”
It is ironic that Sholem Aleichem is probably best known today for the 1971 cinematic adaptation of his Tevye-the-Dairyman story cycle, Fiddler on the Roof. At the time of his death in 1916, at age...

The Tragedy of a Generation
The Tragedy of a Generation: The Rise and Fall of Jewish Nationalism in Eastern Europe, by Joshua M. Karlip. Cambridge, and London, Harvard University Press, 2013. xii, 378 pp. $45.00 US (cloth). Among the dizzying array of political ideologies that circulated among Russian and Eastern European Jews in the early years of the twentieth-century, diaspora nationalism is often overshadowed by the more influential ideologies of Zionism and Marxism. Re…
The Tsene-rene and Purim Plays
This article addresses some of the ways that Eastern European Jews in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries accessed the Bible. It argues that reading the Hebrew Scripture itself was just one of many ways that common Jews became acquainted with biblical stories, and suggests that historians place greater scholarly attention on the extra-canonical sources Jews commonly used to access biblical narratives. Jewish audiences also heard bib…
One doesn't make out much with furs in Palestine
Based on the interviews David Boder conducted with Holocaust survivors in 1946, this article explores the realm of migration choices that were available to Jewish survivors in European Displaced Persons camps. The article argues that, aided by Jewish philanthropic and self-help organisations, many Displaced Persons had already established long-term strategies for their postwar lives by 1946
Culture and the Public
This article explores the concept of the public as imagined by two prominent Yiddish cultural critics, Shmuel Niger and Mikhl Weichert. The article argues that both were heavily influenced by the Russian critical tradition, and were intimately engaged with the question of the relationship between culture and the public. Both adopted scholarly modes of discourse in their works, while seeking to use their criticism to bring together a Yiddish publi…

Revolution, Repression, and Revival
From Ashkenaz to Zionism
The publication of the YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe is a monumental achievement. It is the type of text that can transform a discipline, providing easily accessible and reasonably accurate answers to common reference questions and summarizing the state of the field in an evenhanded and inclusive manner. As one of the nearly 450 contributors to the encyclopedia, I personally feel a great deal of pride in its outcome. The two-volume,…

Aleksandr Solženicyn, Dvesti let vmeste (1795-1995)
In the first volume of Dvesti let vmeste (1795-1995) (Two hundred years together) Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn purports to present the first history of Russian-Jewish relations that is not clouded by biases in favour of one side or the other. Solzhenitsyn claims to have immersed himself in the literatures of both sides in order to write this book. Yet both his sources and his conclusions are uneven and subjective. Indeed, without having looked at even …
Let's Perform a Miracle
The history of the Soviet Yiddish State Theater (Gosudarstvennyi evreiskii teatr, or Goset) provides an illuminating glimpse into the life of Jewish entertainers and the position of Yiddish culture in the Soviet Union during the 1920s. While Solomon Mikhoels, the theater's star actor and director from 1929 until 1949, is well known for his role in chairing the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee during World War II, and for becoming the first victim of…
