The Association of Jewish Libraries Sydney Taylor Book Awards
THE ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH LIBRARIES SYDNEY TAYLOR BOOK AWARDS The Sydney Taylor Book Award was established in honor of the author of the classic All of a Kind Family series by her husband, Ralph Taylor, to encourage the publication of outstanding books of positive Jewish content for children. The seal of the Association is awarded annually to the authors of the most distinguished contributions to Jewish children’s literature published in the preceding year. The first Sydney Taylor Book Award was given in 1968. In most years since then, two awards have been given, one for younger readers and one for older readers. Beginning in 2007, books for teens are recognized. Honor books are also cited. Sydney Taylor Body-of-Work Awards have been granted periodically since 1971. Notable Books of Jewish Content for Children & Teens is published annually by the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee. The bibliographies from 1999-2008 are available for viewing and downloading from www.SydneyTaylorBookAward.org.

Holocaust Museums Issue Joint Statement on Antisemitic Vandalism in Florida June 3, 2021
Holocaust Museums Issue Joint Statement on Antisemitic Vandalism in Florida June 3, 2021 We unequivocally condemn the cowardly and despicable act of vandalism at The Florida Holocaust Museum on May 27. The abhorrent graffiti and hateful rhetoric that defaced the museum is an act of antisemitism, hatred and violence targeting Jews. We will not be intimidated or waver in the mission of each of our organizations to educate on the dangers of unchecked hate. Holocaust education increases empathy, improves open-mindedness to differing viewpoints, and creates a greater sense of social responsibility and willingness to stand up to negative stereotyping and discrimination. The lessons of the Holocaust remain relevant today because Nazi Germany’s ultimate hatred shows how far human beings are willing to go to destroy those who are different from themselves. We need to understand what happens when hatred and prejudice is not stopped. Hundreds of thousands of people visit our museums each year. The most important lesson we teach about the Holocaust is that history is made through a series of choices and that every choice has a consequence. Choices by individuals have power. At a time when hate crimes and antisemitism are on the rise, we fervently encourage everyone to denounce antisemitic and all hate speech, hate groups, and acts of violence.

Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated -

100 Jahre Jura Soyfer
DÖW DOKUMENTATIONSARCHIV DES ÖSTERREICHISCHEN WIDERSTANDES FOLGE 209 Mitteilungen DEZEMBER 2012 100 JAHRE JURA SOYFER Schon lange ist Jura Soyfer, „einer der großen Außenseiter der österreichischen Literatur" (Wendelin Schmidt-Dengler), kein Geheimtipp unter Literaturinteressierten mehr. Nur knapp 26 Jahre alt war er, als er – als Jude, Kommunist und antifaschistischer Autor vom NS-Regime verfolgt – im KZ Buchenwald umkam. Nach Kriegsende gerieten seine Texte für Jahrzehnte in Vergessenheit und erlebten erst in den späten 1970er-Jahren eine Renaissance. Am 8. Dezember 2012 jährt sich sein Geburtstag zum 100. Mal – ein willkommener Anlass, an Soyfer und sein Schaffen erneut zu erinnern. Unter anderen schildert Wolfgang Neugebauer, 1983–2004 wissenschaftlicher Leiter des DÖW, im Folgenden, wie sich der spätere Gründer und Leiter des DÖW Herbert Steiner zunächst im englischen Exil, dann in Österreich für die öffentliche Rezeption von Soyfers Texten engagierte. ORF 2 zeigt am 8. Dezember ein Soyfer gewidmetes Österreich-Bild, in dem ehemalige Weggefährten zu Wort kommen und Ausschnitte aus verschiedenen Fernsehaufzeichnungen von Soyfer-Werken präsentiert werden. (S. 3 ff.)

Analyzing Processes of Knowledge Production
Beyond the Memory: the Era of Witnessing – Analyzing Processes of Knowledge Production and Memorialization of the Holocaust through the Concepts of Translocal Assemblage and Witness Creation by Myriam Bettina Gerber B.A., University of Victoria, 2008 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in Interdisciplinary Studies © Myriam Bettina Gerber, 2016 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. Beyond the Memory: the Era of Witnessing – Analyzing Processes of Knowledge Production and Memorialization of the Holocaust through the Concepts of Translocal Assemblage and Witness Creation by Myriam Bettina Gerber B.A., University of Victoria, 2008 Supervisory Committee Dr. Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier, Supervisor (Department of Anthropology) Dr. Charlotte Schallie, Co-Supervisor (Department of Germanic Studies) i | P a g e Supervisory Committee Dr. Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier, Supervisor (Department of Anthropology) Dr. Charlotte Schallie, Co-Supervisor (Department of Germanic Studies) Abstract This paper considers the symbiotic relationship between iconic visual representations of the Holocaust – specifically film and Holocaust sites – and processes of Holocaust memorialization. In conjunction, specific sites and objects related to the Holocaust have become icons. I suggest that specific Holocaust sites as well as Holocaust films can be perceived as elements of one and/or multiple translocal assemblage/s. My focus in this analysis is on the role of knowledge production and witness creation in Holocaust memorialization. It is not my intention to diminish the role of Holocaust memorialization; rather, I seek to look beyond representational aspects, and consider the processual relationships involved in the commemoration of the Holocaust in institutions, such as memorial sites and museums, as well as through elements of popular culture, such as films. -
