  • United States: National Affairs, Anti-Semitism
    United States National Affairs TheBush administration began the year buoyed by the results of the November 2004 elections: the president's decisive reelection and a strong Republican showing in the congressional races in which the party, already in control of both houses, gained four seats in the Senate and three in the House. The president promised to spend the "political capi- tal" he had earned on an agenda that included Social Security reform, tax cuts, and the continuation of an aggressive global war on terror. The organized Jewish community, meanwhile, geared up for another four years of an administration strongly allied with most Jews on Israel's defense needs, defiantly committed to an increasingly complicated and controversial war in Iraq, and diverging sharply from the majority of American Jews on many domestic issues. THE POLITICAL ARENA olected President Ldent Bush won immediate praise from Jewish leaders for his intment of Judge Michael Chertoff, the son of a rabbi, as secretary meland security.

  • Jewish Communal Affairs T J
    Jewish Communal Affairs T J. AKING SERIOUSLY ITS ROLE as the world's largest and most powerful Jewish community, organized American Jewry concentrated its energies outward in 2002, focusing on the threats to Israel's security and the alarming rise of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiment elsewhere in the world. Domestically, controversy swirled over the basic demographic facts of American Jewish life and their meaning, while the downturn of the American economy placed serious constraints on Jewish organiza- tions as they sought to carry on their work. FOCUS ON THE MIDDLE EAST Gauging the Administration The events of September 11, 2001, generated apprehension in the ranks of many pro-Israel organizations. That day's catastrophe, the theory went, would induce the U.S. to bolster relations with the world of main- stream Islam so as to isolate and attack Al Qaeda and other Islamic ex- tremists, and the most obvious way to accomplish this was pressure on Israel to offer new concessions to the Palestinians. But this anticipation also gave new life to the more dovish sectors of the American Jewish com- munity, which had never been comfortable with the hard-line policies of the Sharon government in Israel. As the year 2002 began, Michael Lerner, editor of Tikkun magazine and long-time supporter of the Israeli left, announced the founding of the Tikkun Community, "a new multi-issue national organization of lib- eral and progressive Jews" for which Israeli concessions were part of a far broader agenda. Its inaugural conference took place January 19-21 in New York.

The three-week program introduced me, in a crash course, to the Jewish Nation. During the three-week seminar, my group visited almost 200 sites in Israel. Everywhere we went, the watch word was Zionism. It was Zionism that ultimately birthed the State, by way of the tragic labors ofthe Holocaust. The philosophical theme ofZionism is woven into the historic tapestry that constitutes Jewish history like a golden thread ofexpectation. Israel embodies Hatikva, the hope, for a Jewish future free from persecution and bright with autonomy. Zionist philosophy clearly boomed in Europe with the writings and work of Hungarian-born intellectual Theodor Herzl.

Moledor argues that the efforts of these specifically Jewish groups in Cleveland were largely successful in raising Holocaust awareness, and turns to the widely debated question of why it took the United States so long to aid Europe during the Holocaust. Keywords: Zionism, Jewish Studies, Cleveland, Holocaust, United States, Jewish Studies 36 Cleveland Zionists The question of why it took the United States so long to aid Europe during the Holocaust has been widely debated in history, due to confusion over what groups knew about the atrocity taking place and just how much information was available.

  • Jewish History”
    SUMMARY Historical Materials in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library Pertaining to “Jewish History” The Eisenhower Library has more than 22,000 pages of material available for research which pertains to various aspects of Jewish history. The pages consist primarily of speeches and messages to Jewish organizations, letters and telegrams from the general public, and newspapers clippings. Only a small portion of the documents are high level memoranda, correspondence, minutes, and reports that cover the decision-making process of the Eisenhower Administration. The Library has almost no readily-identifiable manuscript regarding the persecution of Jews during World War II. We do have several large collections such as the U.S. Army’s Selected After Action Records which cover the war years, but it is not possible to determine the quantity of items in these holdings which actually deal with the Nazi concentration camps. Foreign policy documentation clusters around the major international crises in the Middle East during the 1950s (Suez crisis of 1956, Middle East Resolution of 1957, and Lebanon crisis of 1958), general Arab- Israeli relations, Palestinian refugee questions, and Jewish immigration problems. As noted above, little of the material related to foreign policy reflects the decision-making process. Rather, a large portion of items on these subjects are public opinion telegrams (6250 pages) found in the records of the White House Office, Telegraph Office. Materials related to domestic affairs during the Eisenhower Presidential years are more varied. Regarding the problem of Jewish civil rights, there is a large amount of material (1150 pages) on the bombing of synagogues. There is a smaller amount of documentation on political aspects of the “Jewish vote” (125 pages), and the problem of anti-Semitism (120 pages).
