Adolf Eichmann
Adolf Eichmann’s career was discussed in detail at his trial in Jerusalem, where the historical issue was to determine to what extent he was responsable for the implementation of the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question”. In “Adolf Eichmann: a Nazi Career,” David Cesarani meticulously studied the Nazi files that covered Eichmann’s life in the years 1932-45, during which, the son of the petty bourgeois family became a key player in SS antisemati…
Adolf Eichmann
Adolf Eichmann, haut fonctionnaire nazi, est l’incarnation de la « banalité du mal ». De 1941 à 1945, assis à son bureau, il organise méticuleusement l’extermination de millions de juifs. Après la guerre, Eichmann fuit en Argentine, où il mène une vie paisible. En mai 1960, enlevé par le Mossad, il est conduit en Israël pour y être jugé. Événement majeur, son procès s’ouvre à Jérusalem le 11 avril 1961 et est retransmis dans le monde entier. Un a…
Port Jews
The history of Jews in cosmopolitan maritime trading centres is a field of research that is reshaping our understanding of how Jews entered the modern world. These studies show that the utility of Jewish merchants in an era of European expansion was vital to their acculturation and assimilation
After Eichmann
In 1961 Adolf Eichmann went on trial in Jerusalem for his part in the Nazi persecution and mass murder of Europe’s Jews. For the first time a judicial process focussed on the genocide against the Jews and heard Jewish witnesses to the catastrophe. The trial and the controversies it caused had a profound effect on shaping the collective memory of what became ‘the Holocaust’. This volume, a special issue of the Journal of Israeli History, brings to…
Belsen in History and Memory
Drawing on documentary and oral sources in Yiddish, Hebrew, German, Dutch and French, this book challenges many sterotypes about Belsen, and reinstates the groups hitherto marginalized or ignored in accounts of the camp and its liberation
Pogroms, Peasants, Jews
There is now a considerable literature on Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe into Britain between 1880 and 1914, and the response it provoked among British Jews and the population as a whole. However, as Sam Johnson points out here, much of this scholarship is weakened by a rather parochial approach. There has been little effort to relate the perception of immigrant Jews to the ways in which the Tsarist Empire (from which most of them came) w…
The war on terror that failed
This essay examines the disappearance in 1947 of a young Jewish insurgent fighting the British in Palestine, Alexander Rubowitz. Kidnapped by a secret British army unit led by Major Roy Farran, Rubowitz's body has never been found. Farran was suspected of responsibility and detained but he escaped from custody twice before he was put on trial for the abduction and alleged murder of the youth. The ‘Farran Affair’ became a cause célèbre and it was …

How Post-war Britain Reflected on the Nazi Persecution and Mass Murder of Europe's Jews
During the 1990s historians began paying attention to how societies in the postwar era reflected on the destruction of Europe's Jews between 1933 and 1945 and soon a consensus evolved that there had been a brief burst of media coverage and outrage related to the liberation of the concentration camps and war crimes trials in 1945–46 which soon faded. However, from 1999 a number of historians looking at the USA and other countries went beyond the i…

Putting London Jewish Intellectuals in their Place
The extensive cultural histories of Newark's Jewish intellectuals have made much of the ethnic and spatial dimension in their formation as individuals and as a group. Over the same time span that New York Jews threw up a galaxy of creative figures, from the 1920s to the 1950s, London witnessed the emergence of a stunning concentration of Jewish intellectuals. Many came from London's East End which performed a similar function to New York's Jewish…
A Brief History of Bergen-Belsen
Bergen-Belsen was not typical of any Nazi concentration camps. But its history reflects the development of Nazi racial policy and, especially, anti-Jewish policy. The first camp on the site held French and Belgian POWs. Thousands of Soviet POWs were sent to Stalag XIC/ 311 at Bergen-Belsen, of whom most perished due to neglect, disease and malnutrition. It is more familiar as a camp where Jews were held as bargaining counters in Nazi schemes to e…
Anti-Zionism in Britain, 1922–2002
Since 1902 Britain has been engaged with Zionism. This prolonged involvement offers a case study of diachronically shifting patterns of anti-Zionism and their relationship with patterns of anti-Jewish discourse in a specific national context. This article begins with an account of political anti-Zionism in the 1920s, a model for all subsequent anti-Zionism and a benchmark of virulence. It surveys political discourse concerning Zionism during the …
U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis
THE history of intelligence has become a growth area over the last few years. It has been fuelled by the declassification programmes of several western countries and access to the records of East European intelligence agencies after the political changes of 1989–91. But has the release of all this intelligence material really changed what we know about the past? What is the significance of intelligence data that palpably did not have any impact a…

Anti‐alienism in England after the first world war
Beginning with a study of the origins of the 1919 Aliens Act and the campaigning for and against the legislation, this article makes it clear that anti‐alienism in the immediate post‐war period focused almost exclusively on the Jews. The workings of the Act in the 1920s are examined in some detail, as are the protests by Jews against its enforcement in many cases. The anti‐Jewish attitudes which appear to be entrenched in the responses of the sta…

An alien concept? The continuity of anti‐alienism in British society before 1940
Anti‐alienism has usually been seen as a peripheral phenomenon in British society and politics. However, if anti‐alienism is understood broadly as a form of discourse as well as a political movement it emerges as a continuous and central theme. Anti‐alienism was the popular response to the first mass immigration into Britain, overwhelming earlier pro‐alien traditions of asylum. Anti‐alien legislation and the state apparatus for enforcing it estab…
Seizing the Day
In his rejoinder to Dan Stone, Cesarani attempts to answer the objections raised by the latter against the establishment of a Holocaust memorial day in Britain. Using the public response (so far) to the recent opening of the Imperial War Museum's permanent Holocaust exhibition as a test case, he argues that, contrary to Stone's worry that no one would register the existence of a memorial day, the British public shows every sign of being far from …

Alien internment in Britain during the twentieth century
Alien internment in Britain remains unexplored and its significance at most is seen as limited, as ‘an unimpressive footnote’ in modern British history.

It highlights the weaknesses of existing literature and indicates how the essays in this volume confront many of the untouched or unanswered questions of this tragic, comic and of…
The Anti-Jewish Career of Sir William Joynson-Hicks, Cabinet Minister
It is almost axiomatic amongst historians of anti-semitism in England that 'at no point between 1876 and 1939 was there evidence of official governmental anti-semitism in Britain . . .' Yet in 1924, the Jewish community greeted with alarm and dismay the advent to the Cabinet of Sir William Joynson-Hicks, a man widely regarded as an antisemite.2 His tenure as Home Secretary was marked by constant conflict with Anglo-Jewry and in their eyes he live…

Antisemitism in the 1990s
We recently addressed the following statement and questions on the strength and nature of anti-Semitism in the 1990s to a number of Jews and non-Jews throughout the world: Talk of a ‘revival’ or ‘resurgence’ of anti-Semitism is now commonplace. This seems to be the result of developments in the former USSR and in Eastern and Central Europe since 1989, but also of increasing reports of anti-Semitic incidents taking place throughout Western Europe …

The belief in upward social mobility is cherished in Anglo-Jewry today, but it is substantially a myth. The inter-war years saw some dramatic cross-class mobility registered unambiguously by occupational and geographical change. But for a more significant section of the Jewish population, the experience was one of stasis or sideways movement. Occupations and addresses changed, but this only gave an illusion of genuine social mobility. And far fro…

Dual heritage or duel of heritages? Englishness and Jewishness in the heritage industry
The construction of an Anglo‐Jewish heritage in the 1890s was part of the struggle against exclusionary tendencies in English culture and politics. Continuing efforts to meld Anglo‐Jewish with English heritage from the 1900s to the 1940s were influenced by the imperative of communal defence and resulted in a distorted historiography along with a selective approach to the preservation of archives and monuments
