Between 1918 and 1921 an estimated 100,000 Jewish people were killed, maimed or tortured in pogroms in Ukraine. Hundreds of Jewish communities were burned to the ground and hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless and destitute, including orphaned children. A number of groups were responsible for these brutal attacks, including the Volunteer Army, a faction of the Russian White Army. The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19 is a vivid and horrifying account of the atrocities committed by the Volunteer Army, written by Nokhem Shtif, an eminent Yiddish linguist and social activist who joined the relief efforts on behalf of the pogrom survivors in Kiev. Shtif’s testimony, published in 1923, was born from his encounters there and from the weighty archive of documentation amassed by the relief workers. This was one of the earliest efforts to systematically record human rights atrocities on a mass scale. Originally written in Yiddish and here skillfully translated and introduced by Maurice Wolfthal, The Pogroms in Ukraine, 1918-19 brings to light a terrible and historically neglected series of persecutions that foreshadowed the Holocaust by twenty years. It is essential reading for academics and students in the fields of human rights, Jewish studies, Russian and Soviet studies, and Ukraine studies.

Comment se reconstruisent les communautés juives de France après la tourmente de la Seconde Guerre mondiale ? Quels effets auront sur elles l'arrivée, non prévue mais finalement attendue, des juifs d'Afrique du Nord ? L'exemple de la communauté juive de Toulouse permet de donner des réponses – encore provisoires – à ces problèmes. Il laisse voir entre 1945 et 1970 une judaïcité en pleine mutation, tant sur le plan sociologique que culturel.

Originally published in 1978. Millions of immigrants seeking a better life came to New York City in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Ronald H. Bayor's study details how the relative tranquility among the city's four major ethnic groups was disturbed by economic depression, political divisions arising out of ties with the Old Country, and factional strife stirred up by local politicians seeking ethnic votes. Also evaluated are the effects of such emotional and political issues such as Nazism and Fascism upon the allegiances of Germans and Italians; the rift in the ethnic community caused by the communist scare; and the influence of such figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Father Charles Coughlin, and Fiorello La Guardia.

Auf der Basis von Daten zu mehr als 600 jüdischen SportfunktionärInnen werden am Beispiel der Stadt Wien in der Zwischenkriegszeit Fragen von jüdischer Selbst- und Fremdcharakterisierung untersucht. Sport, als Ort urbaner Identitätspolitik, liefert ein facettenreiches Bild der Auseinandersetzungen mit "jüdischer Differenz". Im Mittelpunkt des Buchs stehen massenwirksame Sportarten wie Fußball, Schwimmen, Boxen oder der Arbeitersport. FunktionärInnen in diesen Disziplinen agierten auf einem neuen Feld der Populärkultur, das große gesellschaftliche Bedeutung gewann. Sie waren öffentliche Figuren und Gegenstand der Medienberichterstattung. Die über sie geführten Debatten wie ihre Selbstdarstellung übersteigen in ihrer Signifikanz den Bereich des Sports bei weitem. Das Buch verbindet Ansätze der Sport- und Kulturgeschichte mit jenen der Jewish Studies. Dieser interdisziplinäre Zugang ermöglicht neue Erkenntnisse, vor allem im Hinblick auf Mechanismen der Konstruktion des "Jüdischen" als des "Anderen", die auch für die Analyse aktueller Diskurse - etwa zu Migration - hilfreich sein können. Based on information about more than 600 Viennese Jewish officials, the book examines issues related to the self-characterization and outside characterization of Jews in Vienna. Sports are an important part of urban identity politics, providing a multifaceted image of engagement with Jewish "difference." The study focuses on mass consumption sports, especially football, but includes swimming, boxing, and workers' sports.

Whether forced by governmental decree, driven by persecution and economic distress, or seeking financial opportunity, the Jews of early modern Europe were extraordinarily mobile, experiencing both displacement and integration into new cultural, legal, and political settings. This, in turn, led to unprecedented modes of social mixing for Jews, especially for those living in urban areas, who frequently encountered Jews from different ethnic backgrounds and cultural orientations. Additionally, Jews formed social, economic, and intellectual bonds with mixed populations of Christians. While not necessarily effacing Jewish loyalties to local places, authorities, and customs, these connections and exposures to novel cultural settings created new allegiances as well as new challenges, resulting in constructive relations in some cases and provoking strife and controversy in others.The essays collected by Francesca Bregoli and David B. Ruderman in Connecting Histories show that while it is not possible to speak of a single, cohesive transregional Jewish culture in the early modern period, Jews experienced pockets of supra-local connections between West and East-for example, between Italy and Poland, Poland and the Holy Land, and western and eastern Ashkenaz-as well as increased exchanges between high and low culture. Special attention is devoted to the impact of the printing press and the strategies of representation and self-representation through which Jews forged connections in a world where their status as a tolerated minority was ambiguous and in constant need of renegotiation.Exploring the ways in which early modern Jews related to Jews from different backgrounds and to the non-Jews around them, Connecting Histories emphasizes not only the challenging nature and impact of these encounters but also the ambivalence experienced by Jews as they met their others.Contributors: Michela Andreatta, Francesca Bregoli, Joseph Davis, Jesús de Prado Plumed, Andrea Gondos, Rachel L.
