Hálás lennék ha következö HSA Körleveledben lehoznád a következö kérelmet: Várdy Béla történészprofesszor új témába kezdett. Meg akarja irni az ú.n. “DP” (Dipi, Displaced Persons) emigrációnak a történetét. Ez az emigráció 1944-1945 fordulóján, a Horthy-rendszer (és a Szálasi rendszer) összeomlása, és Magyarországnak a szovjet csapatok által történt elfoglalása következtében hagyta el hazáját. Néhány évig különbözö németországi, ausztriai, olasz, stb.) menekülttáborokban laktak. 1949-1953 folyamán azonban nagyrészük különbözö európai (Anglia, Franciaország, Skandináv államok, stb.) és tengerentúli országba emigrált (USA, Kanada, Ausztrália, Dél-Amerika, stb.), ahol megtelepedett és ahol leélte életét. Az Egyesült Államokba föleg a két DP törvény (Displaced Persons Act, 1948, 1950; a McCarran-Walter Immigration and Naturalization Act, 1952; valamint a Refugee Relief Act, 1953) következtében emigrált, ahol kiépítette a második világháborút követö legnagyobb magyar tengerentúli közösséget. (Késöbb az ötvenhatosok jelentös része is hozzájuk csatlakozott.) Habár a dipik száma kb. 125,000 körül volt (USA-ba 26,000 vándorolt ki), ennek ellenére -- szemben az ötvenhatosokkal -- a velül kapcsolatos tudományos irodalom igen kevés és hiányos. Várdy professzor munkáját nagyon megkönnyitené ha azok, akiknek birokában van idevonatkozó forrásanyag (dokumentumok, levelek, kiadott vagy kiadatlan emlékiratok, egyesületi körlevelek, programok, stb.) elküldené az alanti cimek egyikére, akár eredetiben, akár másolatban, akár digitálizált formában a világhálón. 2 E-mail: [email protected] Egyetemi postacim: Prof. Dr. S.

Marina Jewish intellectual Women in Central Europe 1860-2000: Twelve Biographical Essays. Mellon Press, 2012. 3 This collection of scholarly essays deals with Female Jewish intellectuals throughout Europe since 1860 until 2000. Topics range from women in music, to pioneers of Zionism, to others including a woman who was instrumental in the Russian Revolution. These women forever changed European culture and politics. The volume brings us one step closer to understanding how they gained influence considering the limited roles women played during that period in history. The essays collected in this volume show the complex lives and identities of Central European Jewish women, born between 1860 and the early 20th century. They enrich our knowledge and understanding of European Jewish women. Despite their important contributions to many intellectual and artistic fields, most of the women in this book were previously unknown to English-speaking audiences. These women exhibited a fluid range of identities, affiliations, and loyalties. Their Jewishness was more often identified with culture or community rather than ritual or religion. Most traveled around Europe and fled Europe during the time of the Nazi persecution. Their odysseys highlight the experiences of the marginal and those in exile. The collection offers a valuable contribution to 19th and 20th century women’s history, European intellectual history, Jewish studies, and Diaspora studies. Mark Cornwall reviewed Richard L.

    Becoming Hungarian: Jewish Culture in Budapest, 1867-1914 By Daniel Viragh A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor John M. Efron, Chair Professor John Connelly Professor Ronald S. Hendel Spring 2014 ! Daniel Viragh, 2014 1! Abstract Becoming Hungarian: Jewish Culture in Budapest, 1867-1914 by Daniel Viragh Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor John M. Efron, Chair This dissertation examines the successful merging of two highly divergent and developed historical and linguistic traditions into an organic and varied cultural matrix, under the twin conditions of Empire and nationalism. Specifically, this project discusses the linguistic, cultural, communal and organizational attempts of Hungarian Jewish community leaders to synthesize the Hungarian nationalist narrative, and Jewish religious and cultural traditions, into a meaningful whole, at a time when the Kingdom of Hungary, as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, experienced rapid industrial development, urbanization and population growth. It is in the Dualist Period (1867-1914) that the literary output and the community-building efforts of Jews living in Hungary reached the highly organized stage of development which warrant us ascribing to them a national signifier, distinguishing them from Jews living in other linguistic spheres. Thus it is in this period that we can begin to speak of “Hungarian Jews,” who came to identify nationally, culturally and linguistically with the Hungarian people and their language. I use archival and print sources to argue that Jews in Hungary became Hungarian out of political necessity and in order to secure their economic well-being within the Kingdom of Hungary.

  • The Communist International, 1919–43
    VILEM KAHAN THE COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL, 1919-43: THE PERSONNEL OF ITS HIGHEST BODIES This survey of the personnel of the highest bodies of the Comintern is meant to be a tool for researchers and historians studying the history of the international labour movement, especially of the Communist International. So far five contributions of direct relevance to this subject have appeared. First, the book by B. Lazitch Les partis communistes d'Europe (Paris, 1955). However, Lazitch's data are incomplete, as he names only 140 of the circa 360 members and candidates who were elected to the highest bodies of the Comintern from 1919 till 1943 (I follow the terminology of the sources). Lazitch fails to mention those persons who were elected to the ECCI (Executive Committee of the Communist International) between the Congresses of the International, viz., at the plenary sessions of the ECCI. Moreover, he does not give his sources, or identify pseudonyms, no more does he mention first names or the countries from which the various people came and/or which they represented. Second, in 1973 B. Lazitch (in collaboration with M. M. Drachkovitch) published Biographical Dictionary of the Comintern (Stanford, 1973). This study furnishes information about 718 people who were active in the Comintern, as elected members of its bodies, as representatives of national Communist parties, as members of the apparatus, as liaison officers, etc. The author has added a list of pseudonyms. Despite the advance in the research concerning the Comintern represented by this book, I want to make some remarks about it. To begin with, I think that in view of the heuristic gaps and difficulties hampering research in this field it is a mistake that the sources used for the biographies of separate personalities are not given.

  • Szegedi Egyetemi Tudástár 2
    “To see what everybody sees and think what nobody has thought of yet” claimed Albert Szent-Györgyi on the essence of discovery. He was also a professor for the popularization of science. This volume of the Com- pendium of Knowledge by the University of Szeged exposes the little-known or the unknown dimensions of Szent-Györgyi’s activities, which are far beyond his SZEGEDI EGYETEMI narrow area of expertise: medical science and chemistry. This volume is based on those free university lectures TUDÁSTÁR 2. that were organized to celebrate the year of the 75th anniversary of the Nobel Prize awarded to Szent- The intellectual heritage of Györgyi. The contemporary professors and teachers at the University of Szeged illustrate the versatility of Albert Szent-Györgyi Szent-Györgyi, focus on the beauty of research as a pro- fession and put into the spotlight the exciting world of science. Before us stands a biophysicist, a humanist, a sportsman, a teacher, a diplomat, a science coordina- tor, a philosopher-poet and a scientist with influence on the economy and someone who also asks questions to which the researchers may find answers in the fu- ture and with the help of such equipment as the ELI- ALPS Laser Research Centre at Szeged. The books in the Compendium of Knowledge by the University of Szeged also answer the following question that may be raised by the reader: why is a University by the river Tisza the only research centre in Hungary where a Nobel Prize worthy performance was accomplished and hope to be accomplished in the future.
