Between 1882 and 1930 approximately 9,800 Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe settled in Winnipeg. Newly arrived Jewish immigrants began to establish secular mutual aid societies, organizations based on egalitarian principles of communal solidarity that dealt with the pervasive problem of economic insecurity by providing financial relief to their members. The organization of mutual aid societies accelerated the development of a vibrant secular public sphere in Winnipeg's Jewish community in which decisions about the provision of social welfare were decided democratically based on the authority and participation of the people. "Communal Solidarity: Immigration, Settlement, and Social Welfare in Winnipeg's Jewish Community, 1882-1930" looks at the development of Winnipeg's Jewish community and the network of institutions and organizations they established to provide income assistance, health care, institutional care for children and the elderly, and immigrant aid to reunite families. Communal solidarity enabled the Jewish community to establish and sustain a system of social welfare that assisted thousands of immigrants to adjust to an often inhospitable city and build new lives in Canada. Arthur Ross's study of the formation of Winnipeg's Jewish community is not only the first history of the societies, institutions, and organizations Jewish immigrants created, it reveals how communal solidarity shaped their understanding of community life and the way decisions should be made about their collective future.

Unmittelbar nach der nationalsozialistischen Machtergreifung setzte eine umfassende gesellschaftliche, juristische und existentielle Ausgrenzung jüdischer Akteure ein. Dem Zerbrechen bisheriger Welt- und Normverständnisse zu begegnen wurde zu einer existentiellen Herausforderung sowie zu einem notwendigen Bedürfnis. Eine wichtige Strategie war der Einsatz von Humor und Ironie; auch für die Menschen des Gettos Litzmannstadt. Aus texthermeneutischer, kulturlinguistischer und sprachphilosophischer Perspektive erfasst Friedrich Markewitz - unter Berücksichtigung des Gettos als Diskursraum und dessen Textsortenwelt - Verwendungsweisen und -funktionen von Ironie und perspektiviert sie, um so einen Beitrag zur linguistischen Aufarbeitung der Kommunikation jüdischer Akteure während der Shoa zu leisten.
