  • Transmission of Collective Memory and Jewish Identity in Post-War Jewish Generations Through War Souvenirs
    heritage Article Transmission of Collective Memory and Jewish Identity in Post-War Jewish Generations through War Souvenirs Jakub Bronec C2DH—Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History, University of Luxembourg, Maison des Sciences Humaines 11, Porte des Sciences, L-4366 Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg; [email protected] Received: 14 May 2019; Accepted: 30 June 2019; Published: 2 July 2019 Abstract: The article includes a sample of testimonies and the results of sociological research on the life stories of Jews born in the aftermath of World War II in two countries, Czechoslovakia and Luxembourg. At that time, Czechoslovak Jews were living through the era of de-Stalinization and their narratives offer new insights into this segment of Jewish post-war history that differ from those of Jews living in liberal, democratic European states. The interviews explore how personal documents, photos, letters and souvenirs can help maintain personal memories in Jewish families and show how this varies from one generation to the next. My paper illustrates the importance of these small artifacts for the transmission of Jewish collective memory in post-war Jewish generations. The case study aims to answer the following research questions: What is the relationship between the Jewish post-war generation and its heirlooms? Who is in charge of maintaining Jewish family heirlooms within the family? Are there any intergenerational differences when it comes to keeping and maintaining family history? The study also aims to find out whether the political regime influences how Jewish objects are kept by Jewish families. Keywords: Jewish family heirlooms; Jewish material culture; ritual items 1.

    www.mosaiclaw.org | weekly newsletter | February 22, 2020 | 27 Shevat 5780 THE SCROLL SHALOM! WELCOME TO THE MOSAIC LAW WEEKLY SCROLL Thank You to Rabbinic Candidate Rabbi Rachel Safman for Acting as Rabbi This Shabbat Weekly Torah Study after Kiddush Lunch in the Sanctuary led by Rabbi Rachel Safman Please Welcome Rabbinic Candidate: Rabbi Rachel Safman Rabbi Rachel Safman’s path to the rabbinate took her, quite literally, to the far side of the globe and back. Raised in a suburb of Washington D.C., Rachel was Jewishly active from a young age, teaching bar and bat mitzvah students in her home congregation (Gaithersburg Hebrew Congregation) while still in high school. Rachel remained enthusiastically involved in Jewish community through her time in college (Harvard) and graduate school, where she helped This Week’s Parasha: establish a graduate and professional student group within the Cornell University Hillel. But Mishpatim when her academic career (in Development Torah: Exodus 21:1 - 30:16 Sociology) took her to Asia (Thailand and page 456 Singapore), she assumed her role in organized Jewish life would diminish. Instead, finding herself Maftir: Exodus 30:11-16 in a setting where Jewish professionals were page 523 scarce but opportunities to expand Jewish life, Haftarah: II Kings 12:1-17 plentiful, Rachel sought out avenues to expand her formal grounding as a Jewish leader, eventually enrolling in rabbinical training through the Ziegler School at the page 1277 American Jewish University in Los Angeles, where she was ordained in 2008. Since ordination, Rachel has served as the senior rabbi (sole clergyperson) of Congregation Beth El in New London, Connecticut (Conservative), introducing innovative approaches to education, ritual and keruv (outreach).
