Split Identity: Jewish Scholarship in the Vilna Ghetto by David Fishman
Split Identity: Jewish Scholarship in the Vilna Ghetto By David Fishman Festschrift in honor of David Roskies In geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies (June 2020) For the online version of this article: https://ingeveb.org/articles/split-identity In geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies (June 2020) SPLIT IDENTITY: JEWISH SCHOLARSHIP IN THE VILNA GHETTO by David Fishman Abstract: In this essay, David Fishman draws a comparison between yidishe visnshaft, or Jewish studies scholarship, and Judenforschung, the Nazi field of antisemitic Jewish studies used to justify the persecution and extermination of Jews in scientific terms. He examines the work of Zelig Kalmanovitch, who had been a well-known scholar and co-director of YIVO before World War II, during the time when he was forced to produce scholarship as a member of the Jewish slave labor brigade assigned to the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR) in Vilna. Fishman notes the remarkable scholarly accomplishments Kalmanovitch was able to achieve in a time of enormous adversity. He also demonstrates several junctures in which Kalmanovitch, a meticulous scholar, omitted facts or altered scholarship in order to save lives. These dual impulses of preserving historical truths about Jewish communities and a willingness to obscure facts over which people could be killed contribute to Fishman's assessment that Kalmanovitch's scholarship emerged from erudition, love, and dedication to the Jewish people about whom he wrote, the very opposite of the purposes for which his scholarship was obtained by his Nazi slave masters. Between Yidishe Visnshaft and Judenforschung (Jewish Studies and the Study of Jews) On June 16, 1942, Herbert Gotthardt, a staff member of the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR) in Vilna, instructed Zelig Kalmanovitch to prepare an essay and bibliography on the Karaites.

Although a number of initiatives to preserve the “sung folklore” of the Nazi ghettos and camps were undertaken soon after the end of the Second World War, Kaczerginski’s magnum opus, the anthology Lider fun di getos un lagern (Songs of the Ghettos and Camps), published in New York in 1948, remains unsurpassed to this day as a resource for research in the field of Jewish folk and popular music of the Holocaust period. ii Chapter one of the dissertation recounts Kaczerginski’s life story, from his underprivileged childhood in Vilna, Imperial Russia (present-day Vilnius, Lithuania), to his tragic early death in Argentina.

Although marked irreversibly by the events of WWII, it has maintained its original charm and character. The streets, squares, synagogues, cemeteries – they all tell the story of the centuries long presence of Jews here and their contribution in building this city. The remaining ghetto wall fragments or the remnants of Płaszow labor camp are also part of Krakow’s story. They are silent witnesses to the tragedy of the Shoah. But Jewish Krakow is not only a story of the past – it’s an exceptional testimony of enduring presence. Poland, and especially Krakow, are being filled by a choir of Jewish voices, which are evidence of various ways of expressing our culture – from the orthodox, through the progressive to entirely secular. This harmony creates the music of the authentic rebirth of Jewish life. This revival is supported by a wide array of institutions and organisations, amongst them the Jewish Community Centre of Krakow and Galicia Jewish Museum.

Everyone agrees that the atrocities committed against Jews were not the main object of the trial. Historian Gary Bass aptly sums up the dichotomy between how Nuremberg is remembered today and the actual reason why the IMT was created: “[I]t is often forgotten that the Allied efforts to punish
