Addendum. 3 Preface At last the concept of crafting an enduring legacy, concerning the history of the Jews in Arad is getting realized. It was preceded by long years of cogitation and labor, expectations and disappointments. The noble thought emerged for the first time at a crowded gathering of immigrants from Arad living in Israel, back in the early fifties. On that occasion, our late friend Mordechay Rössel, talked over the past. It was 250 years ago, when a handful of Jewish people settled in the historic city of Arad, on the shores of the River Maros. They did evolve into a large community, equally eminent in religious, educational and cultural activities. Rössel, a popular publicist, concluded his poignant remarks as follows: "We are the last generation witnessing the material and spiritual growth of that distinguished community. Its honored values beholden to civilization, were evident even during the tragic years of the Holocaust. Lamentably, in the end everything became a prey to the destructive communism. The beautiful memories riveted to our native city and the happy nostalgia of our fading youth must be reclaimed from the haze of oblivion". These words had mobilized the audience. Those present on that occasion, offered spontaneously their far-ranging collaboration. The positive reverberations crystallized not only in supportive words, but in active cooperation too. Mordechay Rössel started to receive valuable historic texts, as well as numerous interesting illustrations. In his compulsive manner he toiled to compile and organize the precious documentation. It took years of hard work until it seemed that sufficient material had been gathered in order to start our tale. We felt that before starting to compose anything, we should consult the newspaper editor Dezsö Schön and Prof. Zwi Kaddari. At issue were some details concerning the general course of the memorial book. Mordechay Rössel had placed most of the material in a huge bag, and he set out one morning for that meeting. He had other errands too for his kibbutz Nir Etzion, and was carrying additional bags. Upon his arrival to the designated meeting place with his friends, he discovered that one of his bags was missing. Unfortunately it was the one with the priceless material concerning the history of Arad. His desperate efforts to locate the bag, through all possible channels, were in vain. This excellent man, became almost depressed as a consequence of the loss. After a while he took heart and thought of starting again from scratch. We all tried to encourage him and sustain his confidence. Sadly, Rössel was no more the same man. Troubled by health problems he persisted in continuing both his kibbutz work and public activities. His heart was overstressed, he did suffer an infarct and passed away soon after. With the tragic departure of Rössel, the idea of creating a memorial book became extinct. The idea was resurrected in the minds of our friends on the occasion of the festivities commemorating the 50-th anniversary of the Jewish Lyceum of Arad. Subsequent to the enormous success of the event we did realize that the prominent alumni of Arad are indelibly connected to the mutual past. Thomas Gordon and his congenial colleague Alfred Friedland, started to mobilize the participants of that gathering. The first meeting took place at the Gordon's home, and thus the hallowed organizational and editorial work was started. The present creation is the fruit of that activity. We offer it to everybody linked in a memorable way to the common past and our present existence. --------------------------------------------------- 4 Akin to the melodious sounds of a harp plucked in the depths of the ocean, we can hear echoing the wonderful teachings of the great Arader mentors of the past. It looks as if we almost could catch a glimpse of the glittering immortal images of our pastors, through the mist of times bygone. They were the originators of the religious structures in our former community. Foremost is AARON CHORIN, who was instrumental in erecting the imposing synagogue. He created a renowned educational system, where irrelevant of their creed, consecutive generations received exemplary schooling. He introduced gratifying innovations in the liturgical service, increasing the appeal of religious life. By the same token he was careful to preserve the ancient holy traditions. His worthy successor JAKAB STEINHARDT, was prominent amongst the contemporary spiritual leaders of Judaism, due to his theological erudition and cultural profile. He emerged as a representative of his colleagues, being a valued advisor to the minister of the emancipation, the baron Jozsef Eotvös. Towards the end of the XIX-th century Dr. SÁNDOR ROSENBERG was active in promoting interdenominational cooperation. His untimely death lead to the elevation of Dr. LAJOS VÁGVÖLGYI as chief rabbi of the Jewish community. He was famous for his oratorical gifts, expanding his teachings with equal ease in the Hungarian, German and Rumanian languages. The Jews of Arad participated in public life, well before the 1848 revolution. They were active in all aspects of cultural, artistic, journalistic, commercial and industrial endeavors. Amongst the many conspicuous personalities, the name of the financier ÁRMIN WALLFISH is preeminent. Due to his transposing skills, the masterworks of Hungarian language became accessible to the German speaking citizens. He was a continuing collaborator to the German press of neighboring Temesvar. Additionally he did translate into Hungarian the French narratives of Jules Janin. His father, the merchant PÁL WALLFISH, was the outstanding president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Arad, in addition to being a well-known and respected journalist. He was furthermore active in fostering musical projects. Dr. SÁNDOR WEISS was well known for his notable surgical career, being at the same time a master of the violin. His consort KLARA HERZFELD was an extremely popular piano performer. The Jews were well represented in the ranks of the press too. The educator LEO JAJTELESZ popularized the ideas of the Hungarian national uprising in a German publication, the paper "Der Patriot". By the same token LIPOT ROZENBERG, the clerk-secretary of the Jewish community of Arad was chief redactor of the "Arader Zetitung". He too was promoting the spirit of the fight for the Hungarian freedom. Dr. MIKSA ROZENBERG was one of the most prominent jurists of the legal profession. He represented the municipality in the dealings with the British Morgan Telephone Company. His associate Dr. LIPOT KELL, was highly esteemed even by the Rumanian authorities when they came into power after the war. Dr. MOZSI STEINHARDT, the grandson of the late chief rabbi, was a widely respected legal authority. His expertise was often solicited, whenever complex official transactions were implemented.

  • Territorial Social and Economic Disparities Within the Development of Arad County
    TERRITORIAL SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DISPARITIES WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARAD COUNTY IRENA MOCANU Romanian Academy – Institute of Geography, 12 Dimitrie Racovi ţă , 023993, Bucharest, Romania e-mail : [email protected] Abstract: Identifying the territorial disparities in the socio-economic development of Arad County implies taking the following six research stages: selecting the relevant statistical indicators, analysing their socio-economic significance, standardising the absolute values of the indicators, calculating the Complex Index of Development, delimitating and generally characterising both the favourable areas for development and the less favourable ones. The indicators were selected to reflect the specifics of agricultural, industrial and touristic activities, of the health and education systems, of the dwellings and public utility infrastructure, of the labour and inhabiting force. The territorial distribution of the value of the 24 indicators and secondary indexes emphasised in most cases a difference between the ATU (administrative territorial units) from the Eastern and Western parts of the Arad County. The Complex Index of Development (calculated as Hull Score) offered the possibility of separating the areas that were favourable for socio-economic development (generated by the urban areas along two longitudinal lineaments, e.g. Western and Central, and in the irregular areas in the Carpathian depression) from the less favourable areas (62% of the ATU in the Arad County). Key words : territorial disparities, socio-economic development, Arad County .

  • The Bronze Age Fortifications in Munar “Wolfsberg”, Arad County
    ANALECTA ARCHAEOLOGICA RESSOVIENSIA VOLUME 12 RZESZÓW 2017 DOI: 10.15584/anarres.2017.12.6 Victor Sava*, Florin Gogâltan** The Bronze Age Fortifications in Munar “Wolfsberg”, Arad County. The 2014 and 2017 Archaeological Researches ABSTRACT Sava V., Gogâltan F. 2017. The Bronze Age Fortifications in Munar “Wolfsberg”, Arad County. The 2014 and 2017 Archaeological Researches. Analecta Archaeologica Ressoviensia 12, 75–100 In spite that the Bronze Age site Munar “Wolfsberg” has been depicted on the Josephine topographic survey (late 18th century), the first scientific data focusing on this site occurs at the beginning of the 20th century. As “Wolfsberg” did not have the dimensions of the nearby prehistoric fortifications at Sântana and Corneşti, the site was not targeted by archaeological investigations and it has only been occasionally mentioned in the secondary literature so far. During the year 2014 a team of researchers have started the investigations with the site’s topographic survey, followed by a systematic ground survey, geophysical measurements, as well as aerial photographs. Three years later, a small test trench was excavated in order to attempt dating the Middle Bronze Age tell in terms of the absolute chronology. Key words: Lower Mureş Basin, Munar, Bronze Age, tell, fortifications Received: 11.09.2017; Revised: 28.11.2017; Accepted: 02.12.2017 Introduction Until recently, the lack of systematic excavations on prehistoric objectives in the Lower Mureş Basin has distorted historical knowledge. In spite that towards the end of the 19th century there were several attempts to study important sites such as Pecica “Şanţul Mare” (Dömötör 1901; Dömötör 1902; Roska 1912) and Periam “Movila Şanului” (Roska 1911; Roska 1913; Roska 1914; Roska 1923), investigation of prehistoric eras was not a research goal in itself.

Gortyna borelii Pierret, 1837 {leucographa auct., nee Borkhausen) is an extremely local species, but has a very wide distribution. It is known from England (one locality only), France (Seine-et-Oise, the nominotypical form, Charente, Cher, Deux-Sevres), Spain (Catalonia : Baells, Valada), W. Germany (Baden-Württemberg, Nassau, Pfalz), E. Germany (Thüringen, Leipzig, Halle), Poland, the Carpathian Basin and S.W. Siberia. Unfortuna- tely, many of the European populations have already disappeared. Popula- tions in Central Europe are referrable to ssp. lunata Freyer, 1839, which is larger than the nominate subspecies. In this note, the distribution of lunata and its foodplants in the Carpathian Basin is discussed. I. The foodplants of G. borelii lunata Frr. in the Carpathian Basin. Clearly, populations of the moth can only occur where the foodplants occur and so, first, the known distributions of the foodplants are presented. For the Carpathians and Carpathian Basin, three species are mentioned in the literature and a fourth is discussed here. 1. Peucedanum longifolium L. : Grows only on limestone. Occurs on the Balkan Peninsula, but also in the Carpathian Basin and the Southern Carpathians (Kazan Gorge, Mehadia, Bâile Herculane, Cserna Valley) up to about 1000 m.

Despite the enactment of the Torture Victim Protection Act2 and the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act s (hereinafter "the FSIA"), courts of the United States lack jurisdiction over a foreign sovereign when it commits human rights violations against United States citizens and aliens abroad.
