Newsletter 102.Docx AUSTRALIAN JEWISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY INC. Member of the JCA Family of Communal Organisations NEWSLETTER ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address: 146 Darlinghurst Road Issue No 102. September 2014. Darlinghurst ISSN-0816-714-1 NSW 2008 Website: www.ajhs.com.au Telephone: (02) 9380-5145 Email address: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Australian Jewish Historical Society is a member of the JCA family of organisation ROSH HASHANA GREETINGS The President and Committee of the Australian Jewish Historical Society extends to all its readers its best wishes, L’Shona Tova Tikatevu, and hope it will be a good and peaceful year for all Israel. Much of the Newsletter is about war, not to glorify war but showing what the community is doing to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Next year the country will be observing the centenary of Anzac. The Society is actively involved in the preparations being made by the Jewish community to show the contribution made by Australian Jews. Included in this Newsletter is the address given by Senator Michael Ronaldson, Minister for Veteran’s Affairs, on Sunday 31 August 2014, at the National War Memorial in Canberra, to the Australian Union of Jewish Students. Although our resident military historian, Russell Stern, has pointed out that the figures quoted for the numbers who served may not be strictly accurate (probably slightly less for WWI and more for WWII) the address, nevertheless, gives the students an insight into the contribution made by Australian Jewry and helps them to understand they have a proud tradition as Australian Jews. It also provides us with information on the preparations that are being carried out on a national scale. 2014 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – SAVE THE DATE The Society will be holding its Annual General Meeting on Sunday on 16th November. This year our speaker will be William Allington who will speak on “Holocaust Denial on the Internet” Amongst other things, William will examine the situation in Australia. A formal Notice of the Meeting will be forwarded to Members in due course. LAST POST FOR JEWISH SERVICEMAN KILLED IN WORLD WAR II Sylvia Deutsch President, AJHS ACT Flying Officer Adolf David Leon Hoffman was just 21 years old when he was killed in action on Anzac Day 1944 in Belgium, together with the entire crew of their Lancaster, while on a bombing raid. His sacrifice was marked at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on Sunday 6 July 2014 during the daily Last Post ceremony. Since 2013 the Last Post ceremony includes the story of an individual serviceman or woman whose name is among the more than 102,000 on the Roll of Honour. The ceremony includes singing of the Australian National Anthem, playing of the lament by a piper, wreath laying at the Pool of Reflection and the sounding of the Last Post. The ceremony is broadcast daily via webcam on the Memorial’s website. It is possible to request a ceremony in memory of a loved one, and that is what Adolf Hoffman’s surviving younger brother Jules had done. The late Earle Hoffman OAM, a founder of the ACT Jewish Community Inc. and the founder of the Australian Jewish Historical Society ACT, was Adolf’s older brother. Every year, around Anzac Day, he would deliver a drosha in the Orthodox shule at the National Jewish Memorial Centre in Canberra, in memory of his brother. At the ceremony a framed photograph of Flying Officer Hoffman was mounted on a stand by the Pool of Reflection at the Memorial. Several members of the family laid wreaths during the ceremony, including Jules Hoffman with his partner Inge Marcus, cousin Susan Moses niece Adele Rosalky and her brother David Hoffman as well as their children Deena, Miriam and Adam. A wreath was also laid by NSW Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women president Charles Aronson and his wife Dee. A number of community members were also present, including ACT Jewish Community president Robert Cussel and several AJHS ACT members, amongst them the indefatigable War Memorial volunteer Margaret Beadman OAM. The following is the text of the citation which was read at the ceremony. 426598 Flying Officer Adolf Leon David Hoffman, No.115 Squadron KIA 25 April 1944 Photograph: P11142.001 Today we remember and pay tribute to Flying Officer Adolf David Leon Hoffman. Adolf Hoffman was born in Melbourne on the 24th of November 1922, the second son of Charles and Hinda Hoffman. His family moved to Brisbane, where he attended Brisbane Grammar School. At school Adolf distinguished himself as a prefect and Captain of Griffith House, editor of the school magazine, lieutenant in the Brisbane Grammar School Rifles, and a member of the school committee. He won a number of prizes for essays, including his first one on the Empire’s part in the Great War. He also won prizes for his proficiency in mathematics and “distinguished diligence and good conduct”. Adolf also excelled in cricket, gymnastics, and athletics. At 15 he won every sprint event in the Queensland Junior Athletics Championship and shattered the State Resident Record for 880 yards. Twice he became the under-16 champion athlete at his school. In his final years of competition, he won the Norman Waraker Memorial Cup, the Victor Selheim Memorial Trophy, and the Old Boys Association Trophy. Adolf Hoffman had been enrolled in the Economics Faculty of the University of Queensland for six months when he left his studies to join the RAAF in July 1942. After a period of training at RAAF bases around Australia he received his navigator’s wings in November 1942, passing with distinction, and got his commission four months later. By mid-1943, having travelled via the US and Canada, Pilot Officer Hoffman was in England. After further training for conversion he was posted to No.115 Squadron RAF at Witchford, Cambridgeshire. On the evening of the 24th of April 1944, he took off on a Lancaster heavy bomber, call sign J-Johnny, as part of a bombing mission to Karlsruhe, Germany, with a combined force of 637 Lancasters, Halifaxes, and Mosquitoes. Eighteen of these aircraft failed to return, and J-Johnny was one of them. Some months later the International Red Cross determined that all seven crew had been killed in action in the early hours of Anzac Day 1944, and were buried in a cemetery in Belgium. In his last year at Brisbane Grammar School, Adolf Hoffman had written a poem as his own epitaph. Published in the school magazine, it read: For me no sculptured marble raise No busts in brass, no names in stone Write me no books, no faults condone In lavish words and unguent praise. Call no my time – “those golden days”. To be to children, awesome, shown; Not history’s pause, to stand alone, No passing glory, epic lays. For I shall tread but once these ways And go my way and meet my end My coming shall no portents blaze; My going shall but few hearts rend; And this shall be sufficient praise. “In Duty’s wake he did attend.” Adolf Hoffman was 20 years old [sic]. His name is listed on the Roll of Honour on my left, along with nearly 5,500 Australian aircrew to die in Europe during the Second World War. This is but one of the many stories of courage and sacrifice told here at the Australian War Memorial. We now remember Flying Officer Adolf David Leon Hoffman, and all of those Australians who have given their lives in service of our nation.

Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

They will see that it too pos- sesses talent, the equal of the best endowed.” What kind of scorn had Modena experienced? In 1611 Thomas Coryat published a book about his impressions of Venice. He referred to the sing- ing in the synagogue as “exceeding loud yelling, indecent roar- ing, and as it were a beastly bellowing.” What was the basis for Modena’s optimism? “There has arisen in Israel, thank God, a very talented man, versed in the singer’s skill, who has performed music before princes, yea, dukes and nobles. He set the words of the psalms to music or- ganized in harmony, designating them for joyous song before the Ark.” Salamone Rossi, That man was the Jewish composer Salamone Rossi, who, the Mystery Man of Jewish Art Music Composers in 1622, produced the first book of its kind: a stunning setting by Don Harrán 5 of the synagogue service. “He is more talented than any other Rabbis, Politics, and Music: man, not only those of our own people, for he has been com- Leon Modena and Salamone Rossi pared with, and considered the equal of, many of the famous by Howard Tzvi Adelman 8 men of yesterday among the families of the earth.” Lord & Tailor: As we listen to Rossi’s music we become aware of the ex- Fashioning Images of Jews in Renaissance Italy traordinary accomplishments of the Jews in Renaissance Italy.

Findings x The study period (1945-1975) was an exciting and challenging era that determined much of the present physical form of Central Sydney and resulted in outstanding architectural and civic accomplishments. x There were an unprecedented number of development projects undertaken during the study period, which resulted in fundamental changes to the physical fabric and character of Central Sydney. x The buildings are an historical record of the changing role of Australia in an international context and Sydney’s new-found role as a major world financial centre. Surviving buildings provide crucial evidence of the economic and social circumstances of the study period. x Surviving buildings record the adaptation of the Modern Movement to local conditions, distinguishing them from Modern Movement buildings in other parts of the world. x The overwhelming preponderance of office buildings, which distinguishes Central Sydney from all other parts of NSW, is offset by the presence of other building typologies such as churches, community buildings and cultural institutions. These often demonstrate architectural accomplishment. x The triumph of humane and rational urban planning can be seen in the creation of pedestrian- friendly areas and civic spaces of great accomplishment such as Australia Square, Martin Place and Sydney Square.

Markovitz Dr. Susan K. Leshnoff, Advisor Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN MUSEUM PROFESSIONS Seton Hall University December 2008 Abstract As American society becomes more diverse, issues of ethnic self· consciousness are increasingly prevalent. This can be witnessed by the national expansion and development of ethnic museums. At least twenty-five museums representing different ethnicities are located in New York City alone. These museums reach out to their own constituency as a celebration of heritage and culture. In an effort to educate others and foster a greater understanding and appreciation of their culture, they also reach out to a diverse multi-cultural audience. Following suit, Jewish museums attract a diverse audience representing a variety of religions and ethnicities. Jewish Museums - A Multi-Cultural Destination explores how this audience is reached through exhibition and education initiatives.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs HE YEAR BEGAN BADLY FOR THE Labor government when Prime Minister Tony Blair's personal poll rating briefly fell from 62 to 49 percent, largely due to popular dissatisfaction with problems in the National Health Service, in- tensified by a flu epidemic. Labor's image deteriorated further when the party was unable to prevent the election of Ken Livingstone, a maverick independent left- wing MP, as the first directly elected mayor of London. Blair's warning that Liv- ingstone's election would be "ruinous" for London did not prevent the decisive defeat of Labor's official candidate for the mayoralty. This was followed by Labor defeats in the local council elections, and in June a keynote speech by Premier Blair at a conference of the Women's Institute movement was met by a "slow handclapping." The government recovered some of its poise in July when it an- nounced a program of public investment in transport, education, and the health service. This expenditure, it was proclaimed, was made possible by the govern- ment's prudent handling of the economy. In this way the government sought to make good what many critics considered to be its initial mistake in retaining the spending targets of the last Conservative government. In the meantime, the Conservative opposition, led by William Hague, turned to the right, campaigning against "bogus asylum seekers," taking a hardline pol- icy in Europe, and opposing the single EU currency. The Tories received a real boost in September when farmers and haulers blockaded a number of oil re- fineries in a peaceful protest of the high price of gasoline.

  • In the Footsteps of Sephardi Jewry a Study Tour of Jewish Medieval Spain 29 May–13 June, 2018
    In the footsteps of Sephardi Jewry a study tour of Jewish medieval Spain 29 May–13 June, 2018 The Jewish Museum of Australia is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a very special educational tour of Jewish medieval Spain from 29 May–13 June, 2018. This tour will be led by Paul Forgasz. Paul is a lecturer in the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation at Monash University where he teaches about Jewish– Christian-Muslim relations in the Middle Ages. He is well known to the Jewish Museum community, both as a teacher in the museum’s community education program and as regular lecturer to the Museum guides. What is special about this tour? As with any tour, you will visit various cities, towns and sites of both Jewish and general historical interest and your local guide will be on hand to explain the features of these sites. However, under Paul’s expert guidance, you will actively engage and interact with these sites through the reading and analysis of texts, group discussions, role plays and simulations. In other words, you will step back into history, into the world of the Jews of medieval Spain. As you visit particular sites you will re-live significant historical moments; step into the shoes of the great medieval Spanish Jewish poets, statesmen, scientists, philosophers and mystics; and enter the vast cultural and intellectual storehouse of this once thriving centre of Jewish civilisation. The itinerary has been designed in a way which will enable you to experience the story of the Jews of Spain as an unfolding chronological narrative.
