Jewish Statistics 143 JEWISH STATISTICS 143 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rests largely upon esti- mates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the numbers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. In spite of the unsatisfactoriness of the method, it may be assumed that the numbers given are approximately correct. THE UNITED STATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the reli- gious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or naturalized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimate, though several of the estimates have been most conscientiously made. The Jewish population was estimated In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 Cn 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 En 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 [n 1880 by Win. B. Haekenburg at 330,257 In 1888 by Isaac Markens at 400,000 [n 1897 by David Sulzberger at 937,800 The following table by States is a modification of that given in the YEAR BOOK of 5662, by reason of changes in the estimated populations of three States, New York, Arkansas, and Maryland. The Jewish Encyclopedia estimates the population of Arkansas at 3085, and that of Maryland has been calculated 'by the method of death rates to be 26,50(J (see p. 46).

SELECTED HEBRAICA AND JUDAICA 147 SELECTED HEBRAICA AND JUDAICA 5662 Compiled by ISRAEL ABRAHAMS This list is compiled on the same principles as in previous years. A few descriptive notes are sometimes added. Where these are omitted, the compiler has no knowledge of the contents, or feels that no note beyond the title is necessary to explain the aim of the book. A large proportion of the books entered have, however, passed through the compiler's hands. As in previous years, no magazine articles are included, unless they appeared also in separate form, or constituted complete works. The list covers the interval between July, 1901, and July, 1903. C.

Maintains not only that the rite possesses hygienic value, but that this consideration was the origin of the custom. The author cites, with approval, the view of Maimonides (Guide III. ch. 49), but Maimonides, it must be re- membered, only partly justifies the rite on physical grounds, and fully takes account of the covenantal aspect.

  • From Racism to Genocide: Anthropology in the Third Reich Gretchen E
    From Racism to Genocide: Anthropology in the Third Reich Gretchen E. Schafft University of Illinois Press 2004 ISBN 0-252-02930-5 From Racism to Genocide: Anthropology in the Third Reich is a fascinating and provocative analysis of archival materials by Gretchen E. Schafft, many of which were recently discovered, that demonstrate the complicity of German anthropologists in creating, disseminating, and realizing the Nazi worldview as outlined by Adolf Hitler. As an applied anthropologist, Schafft was able to provide critical insight into the social-anthropological worldview that the Nazis, in keeping with the Führer Principle, were striving to realize. German social scientists became perpetrators of genocide when they allowed their scientific study to mesh with the radical and deadly racial ideals and policies of the Third Reich. The support of the scientific community legitimized the Nazi worldview and facilitated the efforts to achieve it. Seduced by the ability to conduct research without restraint, the anthropologists became leaders, collaborators, and perpetrators in developing and implementing racial policy in Hitler’s Germany. The author starts her investigation by examining the efforts of German anthropologists to hurriedly conduct their research on the Jews of the Tarnóv Ghetto. It addresses the efforts by anthropologists to collect as much information as possible about the Jews before the ghetto is liquidated. The “scientists” were concerned that the “research” needed to be done quickly since the subject materials (the Jews) would soon be gone and they would no longer be able to study them. There was still discussion within the German anthropological community as to what was the result of biology and what was the result of the environment.

Introduction John Williams White (1848-19 17) is remembered by philologists for three books of abiding value ^ and by archaeologists as the imaginative and powerful first chairman (1881-1887) of the Managing Committee of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. 2 He deserves gratitude for another feat. His teaching ^ together with that of Charles Eliot Norton (182 7- 1908)'* instilled an abiding love of the classics in a Harvard undergraduate of the class of 1888, James Loeb (6 August 1867- 27 May 1933).^ White happily survived to see the seed he sowed bear fruit rich beyond the teacher's dreams. American classicists have paid scant attention to their greatest bene- factor. His death passed unnoticed in the classical press; his centennial was forgotten. His published biographies fill several pages.^ Surviving 1 The Verse of Greek Comedy (London, 191 2); The Scholia on the Aves of Aristophanes (Boston/London, 1914); and Index Aristophaneus (Cambridge, 1932), completed by O. J. Todd, who neglected to put White's name on the title page. Loeb had engaged White to do the Loeb Aristophanes. He died before completing it. 2 See Louis E.

    GENETIC NORMALCY AND THE NORMALCY OF DIFFERENCE. GENETIC DEAFNESS RESEARCH IN 2OTH CENTURY AMERICA by Marion Andrea Schmidt A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland March 2016 © Marion Schmidt ABSTRACT Is deafness a defect to be prevented by genetic technology or merely a non- pathological variation that has given rise to a sociocultural minority? Is it ethical to prevent the birth of a child with deafness? Are deaf parents acting immoral if consciously choosing a deaf child? Over the last 100 years, geneticists' attitudes on these questions have shifted from a clearly medical-pathological definition to acknowledging Deaf culture and the Deaf community, conscious of the potential 'genocidal' impact of reproductive technology. To understand why, by the end of the 20th century, geneticists and associated professions have “gone native” and identified with Deaf culture while neurologists or audiologists continue to consider deafness a grave neurological disability, this thesis analyzes how different professional paradigms have shaped perceptions of deafness, and how different scientific communities have – or have not – interacted with deaf individuals and deaf communities From the late 19th century triumph of oralism – the practice of teaching lip-reading and speech at the exclusion of sign language –, with its strong ties to medical and eugenic prevention, this thesis explores the emergence of alternative perceptions of deafness among geneticists and other professionals concerned with hereditary deafness. Particularly important is the influence of psychologists and (genetic) psychiatrists in defining the abilities and pathologies of deaf people, as well as in shaping practices of family and genetic counseling.

    Wilhelm Spiegelberg a life in Egyptology RICHARD SPIEGELBERG Published 2015 ISBN 978-0-9931305-6-4 Wilhelm Spiegelberg in 1899, aged 29 Contents Foreword 7 Hanover and Strasbourg 15 Thebes 23 A Strasbourg wedding 41 The Strasbourg collection of Egyptian antiquities 49 World War I and its aftermath 51 Heidelberg 61 Munich 69 Epilogue 91 Wilhelm’s legacy as a Demotist 97 Acknowledgements 105 Reading list 109 Addendum & Errata 112 Foreword My quest to find out about the life and achievements of my great uncle, Wilhelm Spiegelberg, began with a chance email from his granddaughter, Lynne Morgan. Lynne informed me she was moving house from the east to the west coast of the United States and was keen to slim down a trunk full of ‘mouldering’ books and documents once belonging to her grandfather. This seemed a good opportunity to begin my project. At this stage, I must declare an interest. My family connection with Wilhelm is twofold—he was the older brother of my grandfather, Georg(e)1 Spiegelberg, and was married to his wife’s (my grandmother’s) older sister, Elisabeth (Lise) von Recklinghausen. Throughout I refer to my great uncle as Wilhelm—intending no disrespect. I am well aware that this would not have been the way he would have been addressed in his native Germany either by a much younger member of his family or by a professional colleague or acquaintance. Nevertheless, it seemed to me that 21st century practice called for a less formal and more familiar form of address. From the start of this project, I have received help and encouragement from numerous sources (apart from Lynne and her brother-in-law, Clarence Butler), notably from the Griffith Institute in Oxford, the Institute of Oriental Studies in Chicago, the Institut d’égyptologie in Strasbourg, the Institut für Ägyptologie in Munich, the Petrie Museum at London’s University College, the Liverpool World Museum, the Egyptian Exploration Society and the British Museum.

  • Illinois Classical Studies
    21 Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff to James Loeb: Two Unpublished Letters WILLIAM MUSGRAVE CALDER IH I. Introduction John Williams White (1848-19 17) is remembered by philologists for three books of abiding value ^ and by archaeologists as the imaginative and powerful first chairman (1881-1887) of the Managing Committee of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. 2 He deserves gratitude for another feat. His teaching ^ together with that of Charles Eliot Norton (182 7- 1908)'* instilled an abiding love of the classics in a Harvard undergraduate of the class of 1888, James Loeb (6 August 1867- 27 May 1933).^ White happily survived to see the seed he sowed bear fruit rich beyond the teacher's dreams. American classicists have paid scant attention to their greatest bene- factor. His death passed unnoticed in the classical press; his centennial was forgotten. His published biographies fill several pages.^ Surviving 1 The Verse of Greek Comedy (London, 191 2); The Scholia on the Aves of Aristophanes (Boston/London, 1914); and Index Aristophaneus (Cambridge, 1932), completed by O. J. Todd, who neglected to put White's name on the title page. Loeb had engaged White to do the Loeb Aristophanes. He died before completing it. 2 See Louis E. Lord, A History of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens 1882- ig42 (Cambridge, 1947), 1-48 with portrait facing p. i. 3 For White as teacher see the brief note of H. W. Smyth, E. Capps, and J. C. Rolfe, TAPA 4:8 (1917) ix. 4 See Kermit Vanderbilt, Charles Eliot Norton: Apostle of Culture in a Democracy (Cam- bridge, 1959).
