It's not even past." William Faulkner NOT EVEN PAST Tweet 0 Like THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN The Snows of Yesteryear by Gregor Von Rezzori (2008) Making History: Houston’s “Spirit of the by Tatjana Lichtenstein Confederacy” A swarm of plump and colorful waxwings are feasting on rowanberries. Suddenly, a shot rings out. “A good dozen of the birds tumble from the fruit clusters down into the snow amidst fallen berries and drops of blood. Who can tell whether the survivors will ever return?” With this scene Gregor von Rezzori begins his memoir of a boyhood in Czernowitz, a city that in the course of the twentieth century was variously located in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania, the Soviet Union, and today’s Ukraine. A sense of irretrievable loss and dislocation, amid images of beauty and destruction, are central themes in this intimate story of the disappearance of Habsburg Europe. May 06, 2020 Born on the eve of the First World War, Gregor von Rezzori grew up in a family that, much like his hometown, was profoundly shaken by the collapse of Austria-Hungary. Czernowitz, the capital of the More from The Public Historian region known as Bukovina, was one of the empire’s most eastern outposts. Nevertheless, it was known as “Little Vienna” due to its vibrant cultural life and architecture. This was a city shared by Jews, Orthodox Christians, and Catholics, in which a multiplicity of languages could be heard. A place that, BOOKS through the eyes of young Gregor, was deeply connected both to the land around it and to the imperial capital Vienna.

His father was an Austrian public servant in charge of inspecting the province’s Orthodox monasteries, a position he used ostensibly to indulge his passion for hunting on the large estates owned by the Church. An inattentive husband living well beyond his means and with little patience for domestic traditions and social norms, he saw his fatherly duties as limited to raising his son as a huntsman. His high spirits and love of life stood in stark contrast to his wife’s demeanor. Von Rezzori’s mother, frustrated by a life that didn’t conform to her sense of stature nor her expectations of domestic bliss, escaped their home in Czernowitz to spas and March 16, 2020 health resorts as far away as Egypt. If weak health had been a pretext for her earlier absences, as a mother of two, she became obsessed with illnesses, smothering her children, Gregor and his older sister More from Digital History Lisa, with overprotection and anxiety. In von Rezzori’s world, parents set expectations. The nurturing, however, was done by others: his peasant nurse Cassandra, known in the household as “the savage one,” and later by Bunchy, his worldly and cheerful governess. FILMS & MEDIA The memoir is deeply personal, organized around stories of family members rather than chronology. Its Ayka (Dir: Sergei Dvortsevoy, 2018) locus is Czernowitz in the years following the First World War when the old order has collapsed. Although its inhabitants were now Romanian subjects, life in some ways went on as it had before. However, the gradual crumbling of the world of Austria-Hungary manifested itself in the anxieties that filled his boyhood home. His parents—reduced from social, cultural and political elites to relics of the old order—divorce, thereby adding new layers of uncertainty. Gregor’s mother, for example, seeks to uphold her family’s elite stature even as its social foundations disappear. She does so by quarantining her son in the house and garden, thereby protecting him from the contamination that was sure to result from play with other children or from venturing out into the world beyond the yard fence. His father, whose pension vanishes with the Austrian state, retreats to live and hunt among Transylvanian Saxons, a German-speaking minority in October 02, 2019 Romania’s north. Although infused with a sense of dislocation, von Rezzori’s recollections are at the same time intensely More from Films & Media rooted in the city’s streets and squares, its sounds and smells, in the landscapes that surrounded it, and in its rich mixture of peoples and cultures. TEXAS Gregor von Rezzori eventually left Romania for Austria, Germany, the United States, and Italy. He wrote many works of fiction drawing on his own experiences. He died in 1998. The Snows of Yesteryear is a A (Queer) Rebel Wife In Texas deeply moving reflection on belonging and displacement and offers a glimpse into a multicultural world that was eventually obliterated in the calamitous Second World War.

  • Romania Redivivus
    alexander clapp ROMANIA REDIVIVUS nce the badlands of neoliberal Europe, Romania has become its bustling frontier. A post-communist mafia state that was cast to the bottom of the European heap by opinion- makers sixteen years ago is now billed as the success story Oof eu expansion.1 Its growth rate at nearly 6 per cent is the highest on the continent, albeit boosted by fiscal largesse.2 In Bucharest more politicians have been put in jail for corruption over the past decade than have been convicted in the rest of Eastern Europe put together. Romania causes Brussels and Berlin almost none of the headaches inflicted by the Visegrád Group—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia— which in 1993 declined to accept Romania as a peer and collectively entered the European Union three years before it. Romanians con- sistently rank among the most Europhile people in the Union.3 An anti-eu party has never appeared on a Romanian ballot, much less in the parliament. Scattered political appeals to unsavoury interwar traditions—Legionnairism, Greater Romanianism—attract fewer voters than do far-right movements across most of Western Europe. The two million Magyars of Transylvania, one of Europe’s largest minorities, have become a model for inter-ethnic relations after a time when the park benches of Cluj were gilded in the Romanian tricolore to remind every- one where they were. Indeed, perhaps the aptest symbol of Romania’s place in Europe today is the man who sits in the Presidential Palace of Cotroceni in Bucharest. Klaus Iohannis—a former physics teacher at a high school in Sibiu, once Hermannstadt—is an ethnic German head- ing a state that, a generation ago, was shipping hundreds of thousands of its ‘Saxons’ ‘back’ to Bonn at 4,000–10,000 Deutschmarks a head.

  • Svetlana Frunchak the Making of Soviet Chernivtsi: National “Re
    1 Svetlana Frunchak The Making of Soviet Chernivtsi: National “Re-unification,” World War II, and the Fate of Jewish Czernowitz in Postwar Ukraine. Dissertation abstract This dissertation is a study of the incorporation of Chernivtsi into the Ukrainian Republic of the Soviet Union. One of the several developed cities acquired by the USSR in the course of World War II, Chernivtsi (aka Czernowitz and Cernăuţi) was a onetime Hapsburg provincial capital (1774-1918) and a part of the Romanian state in the interwar period (1918-1940). Dominated by its German ―lingua franca,‖ this urban space was also equally used to the sounds of Yiddish, East Slavic, Romanian, and Polish languages up until World War II. Yet Chernivtsi emerged from World War II, the Holocaust, and Soviet reconstruction as an almost homogeneous Ukrainian city that allegedly had always longed for re-unification with its Slavic brethren. Focusing on the late Stalinist period (1940-53) but covering earlier (1774-1940) and later (1953-present) periods, this study explores the relationship between the ideas behind the incorporation; the lived experience of the incorporation; and the historical memory of the city‘s distant and recent past. Central to this dissertation is the fate of the Jewish residents of Czernowitz-Chernivtsi. This community was transformed from an influential plurality to about one per cent of the city‘s population whose past was marginalized in local historical memory. This study demonstrates a multifaceted local experience of the war which was all but silenced by the dominant Soviet Ukrainian myth of the Great Patriotic war and the ―re- unification of all Ukrainian lands.‖ When the authors of the official Soviet historical and cultural narratives represented Stalin‘s annexation as the ―re-unification‖ of Ukraine, they in fact 2 constructed and popularized, in the form of state legislation, ethnographic and historical scholarship, and cultural productions, a new concept of ―historical Ukrainian lands‖ that was never fully elaborated by radical Ukrainian nationalists.

  • Hommage À Jeanne Moreau (1928–2017)
    Hommage à Jeanne Moreau (1928–2017) »Ich weiß, ich bin schrecklich«, sagte sie in Paris beim Abendessen nach einem Interview, nachdem sie beim Kellner mit ihrer vom Rauchen verwüsteten Waldhexen- LUMIÈRE stimme eine »etwas beeindruckendere Käseauswahl« gefordert hatte. Man fühlte sich wie im Kino, war be- geistert von der Eleganz und Klugheit und Leidenschaft, mit der Jeanne Moreau weitersprach, über das Spielen, Dreharbeiten zu das Darstellen, den Auftritt auf der Leinwand und im Leben. »Aber oft bringt es etwas, schrecklich zu sein«, sagte sie mit einem Lächeln. Jenem Lächeln, mit dem sie sieben Jahrzehnte durch die Kinogeschichte ge- wandelt ist und das sie auf der Leinwand in eine mal amüsierte, mal verächtliche, mal gelangweilte, stets neben sich stehende Welthaltung verwandelte. Es ist dieses rätselhafte, nach innen weisende Lächeln, das Jules und Jim in François Truffauts gleichnamigem Film erst auf dem Antlitz einer Büste entdecken und dann auf dem Gesicht der von beiden leidenschaftlich geliebten Catherine. Später wird sie bei Truffaut in LA MARIÉE ÉTAIT EN NOIR (DIE BRAUT TRUG SCHWARZ, 1968) zum Racheengel, der mit einem auffordernden Lächeln die Mörder ihres Bräutigams verführt und da- bei ihrer Schuld überführt. In Tony Richardsons Film MADEMOISELLE (1966) zerquetscht Moreau in ihrer wohl eigenwilligsten Rolle ein Vogelnest samt Eiern, zerstört dann ein Dorf und ihren Geliebten – mit dem Jeanne Moreau kaum merklichen Lächeln einer Frau, die weiß, dass L'ÉCHAFAUD (FAHRSTUHL ZUM SCHAFOTT, 1958) zu 51 das Leben an ihr vorübergezogen ist, und die dennoch Miles Davis’ existenzialistischen Klängen durch die Pa- ihre Spuren hinterlassen will. riser Nacht läuft, achtlos zwischen heranschnellenden Über all diesen Facetten ihres Lächelns schwebte Autos die Boulevards überquerend.

  • The Snows of Yesteryear
    The Snows of Yesteryear JOHN-PAUL HIMKA As he tells us in his Memoirs ofan Anti-Semite, Gregor von Rezzori hails from "an almost astronomically remote province in southeastern Europe." 1 This is Bukovina, one of those tiny, historically convoluted and culturally variegated lands of East Central Europe that has nurtured a disproportionate number of geniuses, some forgotten and some still celebrated. Among the celebrated are Paul Celan, Mihai Eminescu and Olha Kobylianska, major voices in German, Romanian, and Ukrainian literature respectively. Rezzori is understating the case somewhat when he writes of Bukovina's "half a dozen nationalities" and "half a dozen religions" (36).2 The bulk of the population (about two-thirds at the beginning of this century) was of the Orthodox faith and fairly evenly divided between the Ukrainian and Romanian nationalities. But there was also a substantial German minority who were Roman Catholics and Lutherans. There were about as many Jews as Germans, and on the outskirts of Bukovina's capital one could find the luxurious court of the famous Hassidic rabbi of Sadagura. There were Russians, the so-called Lippovanians, who were Old Believers. They played a distinguished role in the modern history of the Old Belief because it was they who revived the Old Believer hierarchy in their settle­ ment at Bila Krynytsia in 1846; to this day the Bila Krynytsia hierarchy presides over the majority of Old Believers in the Soviet Union. There were Armenians, Polish­ speaking and Uniate in the north, Kipchak-speaking and Apostolic in the south. There were Ukrainian Greek Catholics and Polish Roman Catholics as well as a small population of Hungarian Calvinists.

  • RICHARD WAGNER and HERTA MÜLLER by ANCA-ELENA LUCA
    CULTURAL IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY GERMAN-ROMANIAN LITERATURE: RICHARD WAGNER AND HERTA MÜLLER by ANCA-ELENA LUCA HOLDEN (Under the Direction of Martin Kagel) ABSTRACT In my dissertation, I discuss literary representations of cultural identity formation and dissolution in selected works by contemporary German-Romanian authors Richard Wagner and Herta Müller. Wagner and Müller are ethnic Germans who emerged as prominent authors under Ceauşescu‘s dictatorship. Along with other German-Romanian authors, they were part of the literary group Aktionsgruppe Banat (1972-75), one of the most important dissident groups in Romania. In their writings, Wagner and Müller openly criticized the communist regime. They also questioned the cultural identity of the Banat- Swabian communities in which they grew up. As a result of their political opposition to the regime, they were harassed by the Securitate and banned from publishing. Because of their German heritage, political experience under the communist regime, and their status as immigrants and political refugees in West Germany, Wagner and Müller occupy a unique position in contemporary German society and culture. In their works, they challenge the nation-state as the basis of German nationalism and question cultural definitions of ―Germanness‖ based on biological, territorial, and state- centered concepts. While Wagner‘s primary focus is on the cultural, linguistic, and political challenges that East-Central European ethnic German immigrants face in West Germany, Müller‘s works concentrate almost exclusively on the oppression and persecution under Ceauşescu‘s dictatorship and the tyrannical atmosphere of the Banat- Swabian village. In my analysis of Wagner‘s fiction, I discuss three figures of Banat-Swabian writers who construct personalized cultural identities and attempt to re-invent themselves as writers during Ceauşescu‘s regime and after immigration to West Germany.
