A cette occasion, RFI délocalise son antenne à l’Académie française et propose une programmation spéciale avec notamment l’annonce dans l’émission « La danse des mots » des résultats de son jeu « Speakons français » qui invitait, cette année, les auditeurs et internautes à trouver des équivalents français à des anglicismes courants utilisés dans le monde du sport. France 24 consacre reportages et entretiens à l’enjeu de la qualité de la langue française employée dans les médias qui, plus qu’un simple outil de communication, est une manière de comprendre le monde en le nommant. Les rédactions en langues étrangères de RFI sont également mobilisées, notamment à travers leurs émissions bilingues, qui invitent les auditeurs à se familiariser à la langue française. Celles-ci viennent appuyer le travail du service RFI Langue française, qui à travers le site RFI SAVOIRS met à disposition du grand public et des professionnels de l’éducation des ressources et outils pour apprendre le français et comprendre le monde en français.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs JL HE DOMINANT EVENT of 1983 was the general election in June, which gave the Conservatives an overall majority of 144 seats. The election results led to the immediate eclipse of Michael Foot as Labor leader and Roy Jenkins as head of the Liberal-Social Democratic alliance; Neil Kinnock took over as Labor head and David Owen as leader of the Social Democrats. The Conservative victory was attributable in part to a fall in the inflation rate; in May it stood at 3.7 per cent, the lowest figure in 15 years. The "Falklands factor" also contributed to the Conserva- tive win, in that the government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher appeared resolute in the pursuit of its aims. Finally, the Conservative victory owed something to disunity in Labor's ranks. The extreme right-wing parties fielded about 66 per cent fewer candidates in 1983 than in 1979; there were 59 National Front (NF) candidates, 53 British National party candidates (this party had broken away from the NF in 1980), and 14 can- didates belonging to other right-wing groups. The extreme-left Workers' Revolu- tionary party fielded 21 candidates. In October Home Secretary Leon Brittan announced plans to raise the electoral deposit to an "acceptable minimum," thus making it more difficult for extremist candidates to run for office. A report issued in October by the national advisory committee of the Young Conservatives maintained that "extreme and racialist forces are at work inside the Conservative party." Despite this, however, Jacob Gewirtz, director of the Board of Deputies of British Jews' defense and group relations department, indicated in December that in recent years the focus of antisemitism in Britain had shifted dramatically from the extreme right to the extreme left.

  • Understanding the History of the Holocaust II
    UNDERSTANDING THE HISTORY OF THE HOLOCAUST II Jewish Resistance, Miracles & Righteous Gentiles n the first Morasha shiur on the Holocaust, we developed a rudimentary Iunderstanding of the horrors of the Holocaust and its irrevocable impact on the Jewish people. We will now turn our attention to some of the glimmers of hope that appeared during those dark days. It is important to dispel the myth that Jews went to their deaths passively, “like lambs to the slaughter.” For reasons that will be mentioned below, Jewish resistance was often spiritual rather than physical; the manner in which they retained their human spirit, and even their Jewish spirit, demonstrates strength of character that we can barely imagine. Most of the stories of Jewish courage were lost with their heroes. Some have been passed on to us. It is our duty to remember these stories, and internalize their messages. Furthermore, while the Holocaust was a time of unimaginable suffering and darkness for the Jewish people, many of those who survived (and even those who ultimately did not) experienced moments of salvation that were nothing short of miraculous. Stretched beyond the limits of physical endurance and facing the merciless, overwhelming brutality of the Nazis, many Jews found that their lives were saved in the most improbable ways. The history of the Holocaust is replete with such miracles, evidence that God was still with us even during that time of suffering. Finally, it is important to mention some of the non-Jewish heroes who risked their own lives to save Jews from certain death. Even at a time in history when the entire world seemed to have turned against the Jewish people, there were still isolated individuals who demonstrated both mercy and courage by extending themselves to save Jews.

  • The Heroes and the Flame*
    ROCZNIK ORIENTALISTYCZNY, T. LXVI, Z. 1, 2013, (s. 86–102) TAL DAVIDOVICH The Heroes and the Flame* Abstract The poems of the Jewish poet Hanna Senesh bear witness to strong resolve and refusal to stand by without interference. Written mostly in Hebrew the words reflect a fusion of ancient as well as modern features of expression. She left her place of birth for what was to become the modern state of Israel, but did not stay in safety deciding instead to risk her life in order to bring hope to Jews in Hungary towards the end of the Second World War. Keywords: Jewish literature, Hebrew literature, Hanna Senesh, Second World War, Jews in Hungary It was a time of war, a time of uncertainty, of horror and fear. But not only that, it was also a time of heroism, kindness, and an opportunity for a change. It was a time for resistance. Resistance as a noun is something that is connected to a group and in such a case there are always leaders or heroes or perhaps both.1 Resistance however, is usually not only one single act but it is built upon several acts made by different people. Furthermore, according to the Oxford dictionary the first definition of resistance is “The refusal to accept or comply with something” and therefore * I would like to thank the Hanna Senesh Legacy Foundation, Kibbutz Sdot Yam, Israel that was kind enough to send me the Hebrew versions of the poems quoted in this paper. I would also like to thank Mrs. Maya Nathanson for her efforts in connection to this.

  • Laboratory of Reportage. Method
    MAREK MILLER, PIOTR WOJCIECHOWSKI Laboratory of Reportage: An Outline of Research Issues Abstract The paper aims to present the outline of the research conducted by the Laboratory of Reportage. The Laboratory represents a place of journalistic experimentations and explorations. The experimentations consist of collective work on texts, multimedia narration, penetrating the area between journalism and literature. The research is directed towards scientific and artistic knowledge. The paper portrays both the history and the achievements of the Laboratory of Reportage and the method it employs. Keywords: reportage, documentary novel, polyphony, multimedia, oral history The Laboratory of Reportage operating within the Faculty of Journalism, Information and Book Studies of the University of Warsaw is a centre for research, experimentation and journalistic exploration as well as the place of practical didactic activities. We consider reportage as the fullest form of journalistic expression. Reportage, as a particularly open genre, embraces elements of interview, column and essay. It is close to non-fiction literature and film documentary. For a journalist willing to dig deeper into their knowledge it offers fundamental experience. That is why the Laboratory of Reportage was established. The field of the Laboratory’s experimentation and research covers: – collective work on text; – multimedia angle on material; – penetrating the area between journalism and creative writing, journalism and screenwriting, journalism and stage writing. However, reportage remains the base. The belief in the unique role of reportage within journalistic genres stems from our practice and experience. This article is an attempt to describe the latter. 18 MAREK MILLER, PIOTR WOJCIECHOWSKI I. Research, exploration and experimentation programme We do not hide that we have been long significantly inspired by the work of Juliusz Osterwa and Jerzy Grotowski.

    Epoch of the Messiah As Distributed By S. GOLDMAN - OTZAR HASEFARIM Inc. 33 Canal Street, New York, N.Y.1OOO2 Importers and Publishers of Hebrew Books Copyright 1985 by Rabbi E.S. Wasserman 851 North Kings Rd. Los Angeles, Calif. 90069 Rabbi Elchonon Bunim Wasserman, zt'l A Brief Biographical Sketch Reb Elchonon, zt'l, was born in 1874 in Birz, Lithuania. Circa 1889 his parents moved to Boisk, Latvia, at that time the Rabbinical Seat of Rabbi Cook, olov hasholom. From there he went to Telz where he studied under the illustrious gaonim, Rabbi Eliezer Gordon, zt'l and Rabbi Shimon Shkop, zt'l. In Telz, he was noted for his unusual diligence and profound mind. After many years of intensive study in Telz, he went to Volozin to become a disciple of the great Reb Chaim Brisker who was Rosh yeshivah of Volozin at that time. In 1898, he married the daughter of one of the leading sages of the day, Rabbi Meir Atlas, zt'l, who was then the Rabbi of Salant. Then came a period which impressed itself indelibly on the rest of his life. It began in 1906 when he went to Radin, the home of his master, the world-renowned Chofetz Chaim, zt'l where he studied until 1908 in the Kollel Kodshim. The Chofetz Chaim had founded this select institution for the future leaders of Israel. During the year 1908-1909, Rav Elchonon, together with the gaon Rabbi Yoel Baranchick zt'l started a yeshivah in Amsislav, Russia. In 1910, he accepted a call to become a rosh yeshivah in Brisk, the home of his teacher, Rabbi Chaim, zt'l.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION “We were taught as children”—I was told by a seventy- year-old Pole—“that we Poles never harmed anyone. A partial abandonment of this morally comfortable position is very, very difficult for me.” —Helga Hirsch, a German journalist, in Polityka, 24 February 2001 HE COMPLEX and often acrimonious debate about the charac- ter and significance of the massacre of the Jewish population of T the small Polish town of Jedwabne in the summer of 1941—a debate provoked by the publication of Jan Gross’s Sa˛siedzi: Historia za- głady z˙ydowskiego miasteczka (Sejny, 2000) and its English translation Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland (Princeton, 2001)—is part of a much wider argument about the totali- tarian experience of Europe in the twentieth century. This controversy reflects the growing preoccupation with the issue of collective memory, which Henri Rousso has characterized as a central “value” reflecting the spirit of our time.1 One key element in the understanding of collec- tive memory is the “dark past” of nations—those aspects of the na- tional past that provoke shame, guilt, and regret; this past needs to be integrated into the national collective identity, which itself is continu- ally being reformulated.2 In this sense, memory has to be understood as a public discourse that helps to build group identity and is inevita- bly entangled in a relationship of mutual dependence with other iden- tity-building processes.

    Rosaline and Myer Feinstein Lecture Series, 1998 Guardians of a Tragic Heritage: Reminiscences and Observations of an Eyewitness By Dina Abramowicz I understand this occasion as a symbolic gesture to pay respects to our colleagues who perished during the Holocaust. I will try to tell you about some of them whom I had the honor to meet during those horrible times. It is not easy for a survivor to speak about memories of the period—the most horrible period in general history, and in my personal history as well. I think the names which the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century historians used for their tragic chronicles, The Valley of Tears and The Abyss of Despair, serve better to describe the feelings of a survivor than the term which has become somewhat dry—the Holocaust. It is easier, however, to speak about dry facts than about tears. I will use them here with the hope that they will serve as an introduction to the story. One of the people I would like to remember today is Herman Kruk, the author of the Diary of the Vilna Ghetto. If Jews are called "the People of the Book," Kruk was the man of the book in Vilna, the Jerusalem of Lithuania, in the last tragic stages of Vilna’s life. But he also was a statistician, and in the Diary, under the date of May 7, 1942, we find an entry entitled "Statistics and Statistics of Sorrow." It informs us that there were 56,000 Jewish residents in Vilna during the interwar period. In June 1941, their number swelled to 60,000, due to the influx of refugees from western Poland.
