  • The Legacy of Jewish-Russian Literature
    General Introduction: The Legacy of Jewish-Russian Literature By Maxim D. Shrayer DUAL LITERARY IDENTITIES What are cultures measured by? Cultural contributions are difficult to quantify and even harder to qualify without a critical judgment in hand. In the case of verbal arts, and of literature specifically, various criteria of formal perfection and originality, significance in literary history, and aspects of time, place, and milieu all contribute to the ways in which one regards a writer’s contribution. In the case of Jewish culture in Diaspora, and specifically of Jewish writing created in non-Jewish languages adopted by Jews, the reckoning of a writer’s status is riddled with a set of powerful contrapositions. Above all else, there is the duality, or multiplicity, of a writer’s own iden- tity—both Jewish and German (Heinrich Heine) or French (Marcel Proust) or Russian (Isaac Babel) or Polish (Julian Tuwim) or Hungarian (Imre Kertész) or Brazilian (Clarice Lispector) or Canadian (Mordechai Richler) or American (Bernard Malamud). Then there is the dividedly redoubled perspec- tive of a Diasporic Jew: both an in-looking outsider and an out-looking insider. And there is the language of writing itself, not always one of the writer’s native setting, not necessarily one in which a writer spoke to his or her own parents or non-Jewish childhood friends, but in some cases a second or third or forth language—acquired, mastered, and made one’s own in a flight from home.1 Evgeny Shklyar (1894–1942), a Jewish-Russian poet and a Lithuanian patriot who translated into Russian the text of the Lithuanian national anthem 1 In the context of Jewish-Russian history and culture, the juxtaposition between a “divided” and a “redoubled” identity goes back to the writings of the critic and polemicist Iosif Bikerman (1867–1941? 1942?), who stated in 1910, on the pages of the St.

  • For an Authentic History of the Shoah in All Holocaust Centers (Draft)
    For an Authentic History of the Shoah in All Holocaust Centers (Draft) We all share the values of responsibility to truth in history acknowledging an imperialist Europe with political possessions in North Africa, fairness to make space for Holocaust victims outside the geographic entity of Europe as a continent, respect to all victims, who were persecuted in the Holocaust, and last but not least accountability to the public, students, scholars and teachers. It is a call to correct an historical injustice of neglect, misrepresentation and marginalization at Holocaust museums and centers in the world: Shaked is asking people to speak up for historical justice and historical equality and for an authentic history of the Shoah, inclusive of the persecution and murder of the Jews in the European possessions in North Africa (French Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and in Italian Libya) and in other places, for the sake of the memory of all victims of the Holocaust, a Jewish tragedy, and for truth in history. "True history" means that historians must acquire all relevant facts, carefully weigh the surrounding circumstances, and not impose personal preconceptions on the facts and circumstances. There is no doubt that Yad Vashem and other Holocaust centers in the world, serve the greater public good. And Shaked hopes that they will be inclusive in their documentation, research and information on all the Jewish victims persecuted and murdered in the Holocaust and in World War II. The Centers/Museums of Shoah/Holocaust, such as Yad Vashem in Israel, the Museum of the Shoah in Paris, France and others, must look at the historical political realities of the era, at an imperialist Europe, at the correct evolution of the events in World War II, and at all the documents and historical evidence of the period.

    I jn HISTORY AND IDEOLOGY IN EXODUS AND OTHER NOVELS M. Muneer S. Asbahi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OE PHILOSOPHY August 1973 BOWUNG GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Il ABSTRACT Nine American popular novels that use the Arab-Zionist conflict as a setting were examined in this study with the purpose of determining how objective is the image of the conflict they present. The examination focused on the historical details and the ideological arguments contained in these novels. In order to determine the authenticity of the historical details, they were contrasted with non-fictional historical accounts written by Western, Arab, and Israeli authors. On the other hand, the arguments advanced explicitly or implicitly in the novels were examined to determine the soundness of their historical bases, their logical consistency, their universal applicability, and their fairness in representing the views of the conflicting parties. The study showed that the novels present oversimplified, biased versions of the history of the various developments of the conflict. Due to the omission of certain historical details and the use of others that are highly questionable or definitely inaccurate;; the "history" offered in these novels is unfair to the Arabs. While there is hardly any attempt in the studied novels to represent the Arab point of view, there is an extensive, often zealous, presentation of the Zionist argument. The various arguments advanced to justify the Zionist position, however, are based on the novels’ biased "history" and are characterized by lack of profundity, self-contradiction, and poor logic.
