Most people know little more than fragments of Dutch Jewish history: the Portuguese Jews of Amsterdam; Jewish socialism; the devastating years of the Second World War. So where is the storyline? What happened to the Jews in the Netherlands from the moment they first settled there permanently? This book answers that question. It presents the central points of 700 years of Jewish history in the Netherlands briefly and succinctly. One hundred elements of the story have been chosen that taken as a whole create a balanced and representative picture. Each relates to a central event, place, person or object that helps to illuminate one important aspect of the history of the Jews in the Netherlands, and each is linked to a striking, iconic image. They are grouped by century around unifying themes that make them part of an ongoing story.

Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit dem Leben der jüdischen Flüchtlinge aus Italien in der Schweiz während des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Anliegen der Arbeit ist es zu beschreiben, wie sie dort lebten, was sie taten und welchen Einfluss das Exil auf ihre Zukunftserwartungen in Italien hatte. Der Autor beschäftigt sich zunächst mit dem brisanten Thema der Abweisungen an der Schweizer Grenzen, dem schwierigen Leben in den Flüchtlingslagern sowie mit der Betreuung und Hilfe für die Flüchtlinge. Untersucht wird anschließend das außerordentlich aktive Leben der Flüchtlinge, die sich intensiv mit Politik beschäftigten, bzw. mit der Unterstützung der Partisanen in Italien. Bemerkenswert war auch ihr Engagement in Kultur und Bildung, als Autoren, Publizisten, Lehrer oder Dozenten. Es gab auch Versuche, den deportierten Italienern Hilfe zu leisten. Sehr erfolgreich waren die Bemühungen zu Gunsten der im besetzten Italien verbliebenen Juden, wobei hier eine fruchtbare Allianz zwischen Geldgebern, Flüchtlingen und der italienischen Resistenza zustande kam. Zu beleuchten, wie all diese Aspekte und das Zusammenleben mit den vielen anderen europäischen Juden ihre jüdische und italienische Identität beeinflusste, ist eines der Hauptanliegen der Arbeit.

Anhand der internen und öffentlichen Kommunikation deutsch-jüdischer Vereine untersucht Anna Ullrich, wie gesellschaftlicher Antisemitismus in diesen Organisationen wahrgenommen, bewertet und bewältigt wurde. Erstmals werden dabei die Verhaltens- und Gefühlsempfehlungen, welche die Vereine ihren Mitgliedern anboten, systematisch herausgearbeitet und deren langfristige Entwicklung zwischen Erstem Weltkrieg und den ersten Jahren des Nationalsozialismus in die Analyse miteinbezogen. Aus der Vielzahl an Ratschlägen, Hinweisen, Warnungen, Empfehlungen und Aufforderungen werden die vielfältigen Diskussionen rekonstruiert, die immer wieder um die Frage nach einem adäquaten Umgang mit antisemitischen Erfahrungen in Deutschland kreisten. So ermöglicht die Studie eine differenzierte Betrachtung der vereinsinternen Aushandlungsprozesse und gibt neue Einblicke in das Verhältnis von jüdischen und nichtjüdischen Deutschen im Untersuchungszeitraum.

Born into a prominent German Jewish banking family, Baron Max von Oppenheim (1860-1946) was a keen amateur archaeologist and ethnologist. His discovery and excavation of Tell Halaf in Syria marked an important contribution to knowledge of the ancient Middle East, while his massive study of the Bedouins is still consulted by scholars today. He was also an ardent German patriot, eager to support his country's pursuit of its "place in the sun." Excluded by his part-Jewish ancestry from the regular diplomatic service, Oppenheim earned a reputation as "the Kaiser's spy" because of his intriguing against the British in Cairo, as well as his plan, at the start of the First World War, to incite Muslims under British, French and Russian rule to a jihad against the colonial powers. After 1933, despite being half-Jewish according to the Nuremberg Laws, Oppenheim was not persecuted by the Nazis. In fact, he placed his knowledge of the Middle East and his connections with Muslim leaders at the service of the regime. Ranging widely over many fields - from war studies to archaeology and banking history - 'The Passion of Max von Oppenheim' tells the gripping and at times unsettling story of one part-Jewish man's passion for his country in the face of persistent and, in his later years, genocidal anti-Semitism.

This book, the first to explore the politics of definitions from an interdisciplinary perspective, encourages readers to reconsider the value and limits of definitions in confronting antisemitism and Islamophobia. In recent years, definitions of antisemitism and Islamophobia have become central to the struggle to combat the hostility, harassment and discrimination experienced by Jews and Muslims. Yet these definitions have also provoked fierce controversy: critics have questioned whether they are fit for purpose, or have criticised them as unwelcome attempts to restrict freedom of expression. In this edited collection, historians, social scientists and philosophers reflect on definitions of antisemitism and Islamophobia in both the past and the present. Its contributors investigate the different historical contexts which have shaped definitions and examine their different political purposes and meanings, as well as addressing contemporary debates, and identifying ways for us to move beyond our current impasse. This book therefore provides a broad and new perspective from which to comprehend present day minority politics.

Marc Volovici is Alfred Landecker Lecturer in the Department of Jewish History at the University of Haifa, Israel.
