Dina Porat präsentiert erstmals umfassend die Geschichte von 50 jungen Frauen und Männern, die als Untergrundkämpfer in Osteuropa die Schoa überlebten und nach dem Krieg beschlossen, sechs Millionen Deutsche zu töten. Angeführt von dem bewunderten Dichter und Partisanen Abba Kovner, wollten sie sich an der Nation rächen, die sie für die Ermordung von sechs Millionen Juden verantwortlich machten. Die Welt sollte sehen, dass jüdisches Blut nicht ungestraft vergossen werden dürfe. Auf Grundlage einer Fülle von Zeugenaussagen und von Quellen, die bisher in Archiven, in Broschüren oder in den Häusern der ehemaligen Mitglieder der Nakam-Gruppe verborgen lagen, wird das Geschehen in vielen erstaunlichen Einzelheiten ans Licht der Öffentlichkeit gebracht. Eingeflochten in die packende Erzählung sind die vom Rachethema unvermeidlich aufgeworfenen moralischen Fragen. "Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit einem der aufregendsten, kompliziertesten und verzweifeltsten Kapitel, das die Schoa und ihre Schatten der israelischen Gesellschaft bis heute auferlegt haben. Eine wissenschaftliche Meisterleistung, spannend und originell erzählt, die mit vielen neuen Erkenntnissen aufwartet." - Prof. Tuvia Frilig, Ben-Gurion-Universität des Negev.

Being a historian of Germany and of the German-Jews in modern times, the author has written numerous essays on the history and historiography of Antisemitism in this country. Some of them are rather well-known, such as the essay on "Antisemitism as a Cultural Code", and others were printed in peripheral journals and Festschrifts or were never published in English. Since the phenomenon of Jew-hating is now once again an issue discussed by scholars and non-scholars alike, both in Europe and in the United States, and especially since it now arouses particular interest in the context of the Palestinian fight against Israel, it seems timely to re-publish these essays in a slightly revised form, and attach to them an extended introduction as well as a follow-up essay at the end, updating old notions, reformulating some and adding commentary on controversies that are being conducted today regarding the term Antisemitism, its various contexts and the phenomenon it signifies. Freshly looking at Antisemitism in Germany before, during and after National-Socialism seems to be needed at this point in time.

Josephus Flavius's life was defined by the Jewish war against Rome, about which he wrote his first book as a friend of the imperial family, enjoying the benefits of an end to the conflict. But this dichotomy between war and peace defined not only the life of our author but also the history of all peoples in Late Antiquity, so it is not surprising that war and peace also play a central role in his second book. A broader theme could hardly have been chosen for this volume, which naturally brought with it the diversity of the studies it contains. At a conference in May 2022 at Selye János University in Komárom - "Peace and War in Josephus" - a distinguished, international group of scholars took up this theme, including Tal Ilan (Israel), Steve Mason (Canada), Jiří Hoblík (Czech Republic), and five Hungarian colleagues: Tibor Grüll, Ádám Vér, József Zsengellér, István Karasszon, and Viktor Kókai-Nagy. Their papers in English or German are complemented by three additional papers from Carson Bay (Switzerland), Marin Meiser (Germany), and David R. Edwards (USA). Together, their work ranges from the historical and literary context to the political and philosophical thought of the author.

Jews in Japan: Presence and Perception. Antisemitism, Philosemitism and International Relations is a study on the history of real and imagined Jews in Japan, which discusses the little known cultural, political and economic ties between Jews and Japan, and follows the evolution of Jewish stereotypes in Japan in the last century and a half. The book begins with the arrival of Jews and their image in late 19th to early 20th-century Japan, when the seeds of later stereotyped visions were sown. The discussion then focuses on wartime Japan, delving into the complex and mixed attitudes of the Japanese Empire toward Jews. In postwar Japan, the partial reception of the Holocaust intertwined with earlier antisemitic and philosemitic manifestations, resulting in instances of both hatred and admiration toward Jews. Finally, the book explores the recent reframing of Japanese-Jewish historical encounters within the context of the growing ties between Japan and Israel. This study sheds new light on the little explored relations between Jews and Japan, offering thought-provoking insights into the coexistence of antisemitism and philosemitism, the political and diplomatic uses of Jewish history, and the perpetuation of Jewish stereotypes in a land devoid of a local Jewish population.
