The World of Yesterday by Stefan Zweig Pdf

Stefan Zweig (1881–1942) was a poet, novelist, and dramatist, but it was his biographies that expressed his full genius, recreating for his international audience the Elizabethan age, the French Revolution, the great days of voyages and discoveries. In this autobiography he holds the mirror up to his own age, telling the story of a generation that "was loaded down with a burden of fate as was hardly any other in the course of history." Zweig attracted to himself the best minds and loftiest souls of his era: Freud, Yeats, Borgese, Pirandello, Gorky, Ravel, Joyce, Toscanini, Jane Addams, Anatole France, and Romain Rolland are but a few of the friends he writes about.

Beyond Post-Zionism by Eran Kaplan Pdf

Comprehensive and critical analysis of the post-Zionist debates and their impact on various aspects of Israeli culture. Post-Zionism emerged as an intellectual and cultural movement in the late 1980s when a growing number of people inside and outside academia felt that Zionism, as a political ideology, had outlived its usefulness. The post-Zionist critique attempted to expose the core tenets of Zionist ideology and the way this ideology was used, to justify a series of violent or unjust actions by the Zionist movement, making the ideology of Zionism obsolete. In Beyond Post-Zionism Eran Kaplan explores how this critique emerged from the important social and economic changes Israel had undergone in previous decades, primarily the transition from collectivism to individualism and from socialism to the free market. Kaplan looks critically at some of the key post-Zionist arguments (the orientalist and colonial nature of Zionism) and analyzes the impact of post-Zionist thought on various aspects (literary, cinematic) of Israeli culture. He also explores what might emerge, after the political and social turmoil of the last decade, as an alternative to post-Zionism and as a definition of Israeli and Zionist political thought in the twenty-first century. Eran Kaplan is Richard and Rhoda Goldman Chair in Israel Studies at San Francisco State University. He is the author of The Jewish Radical Right: Revisionist Zionism and Its Ideological Legacy and coeditor (with Derek J. Penslar) of The Origins of Israel, 1882–1948: A Documentary History.

Dreams of Re-Creation in Jamaica by Diana Cooper-Clark Pdf

Diana Cooper-Clark has written a book that uncovers a ‘hidden’ history in the Holocaust narrative. The stories of seventeen Holocaust survivors who escaped to Jamaica and who are among the last eyewitnesses to the Shoah are inspiring. As well, she reveals the involvement of Jamaican Jews with the refugees and the Holocaust, and the virtually unknown story of the killing of Caribbean Jews in Nazi concentration camps. In addition, Dreams of Re-Creation in Jamaica has dozens of never before published photographs shared by the Jewish refugees. This book also sheds light on the Sephardim and their marginalization in the history of Hitler’s extermination policies. These compelling tales bring together World War II, Jewish refugees and Jamaican Jews, stories that have previously slipped through the cracks of history. As a child of six years old in Jamaica, Cooper-Clark read a book about the Nazi, Karl Eichmann, thus changing her life. She swore to spend the rest of her life bearing witness to the Holocaust. For everyone inspired by survival stories, and the triumph of life over death for both individuals and communities, this book is a must-read.

The Jewish Criterion in Hungary by András Gerő Pdf

A compilation of five essays, four of them published previously in slightly different form. Overall, the book discusses Jewish identity in Hungary in the 19th-20th centuries, reflecting on Jews caught between the two poles of assimilation and rejection. Liberals granted rights to the Jews but demanded their adoption of a Hungarian identity, while antisemites saw them as unassimilable and wanted the Jews to leave the country. In the 19th century Jews were often stereotyped as "homo oeconomicus", which had positive connotations for the liberals but highly negative ones for the anti-bourgeois right-wing populists. Antisemitism had political repercussions only after World War I. The Holocaust did not provide a new Jewish identity to replace the fragmented religious one. Identifying Jews by origin has often been a tool of antisemitic propaganda; the same approach also obfuscates complex cases of the identity of many people who were born as Jews, in Hungary, e.g. Miklós Radnóti, Béla Kuhn, and several churchmen. Following are the essays, all of which deal (some more and some less) with the development of antisemitism in Hungary in the 19th-20th centuries (but not with the Holocaust period):
