Studien zur Geschichte und Erinnerung by Tobias Blümel p. 122 IV QUEST N. 14 Miscellanea 2018 edited by Quest Editorial Staff This is the third time that Quest offers its readers a miscellaneous issue. We had chosen to publish a selection of unrelated research articles previously, with issue n. 7 in July 2014 and then with isssue n. 12 in 2017. In 2019 and in 2020 we have planned to resume the publication of monographic special issues, yet we will be open to considering the possibility of publishing unrelated articles in miscellaneous issues in the future. With this latest installment of our journal we offer the readers four articles, authored by scholars based in the U.S. and in Italy and covering diverse topics and time periods. We open the Focus section with an essay by Phil Keisman, dedicated to the study of the German periodical Shomer Tziyon Hane’eman (1846-1855), a key publication to understand the dialectic relationship between modern Orthodoxy and the developing reform movement. In an effort to comprehend the techniques employed by segments of the Orthodox world to compete with its adversaries, the author investigates the periodical’s reading public, its network of contributors, as well as its content. We then move to the analysis of a blood libel case and the ensuing trial that took place between 1855 and 1856 in North-Eastern Italy, in Badia Polesine, at the time under Hapsburg rule. Emanuele D’Antonio reconstructs in detail the episode and the Jewish responses, illustrating how the minority was able to organize its defense with the support of some Catholic intellectuals as well as the State apparatus, leading the trial to become an analytical refutation of ritual murder accusations. The third article in this issue, written by Sonia Zanier, leads the readers well into the second half of the XXth century, enquiring on the matrices of the anti-Zionist and, at times, anti-Semitic rhetorics that, since the late 1960s and through the 1970s, developed within the rich and diversified world of the Italian New Left. The last article published in the Focus section is authored by Carmen Dell’Aversano, a literary scholar who proposes a theoretical reflection on the concept of assimilation. Her approach is not a historical one. She employs Gérard Genette’s concept of hypertextuality and argues in favor of a transdisciplinary methodology, suggesting that semiotics and literary theory may offer useful insight also for a historical understanding of the issue. The Discussion section this time is dedicated to Liliana Picciotto’s recent book Salvarsi. Gli ebrei d’Italia sfuggiti alla Shoah 1943-1945 (Turin: Einaudi, 2017), which won the 2018 award of Italian Society for Contemporary History (Sissco- Società Italiana per lo Studio della Storia Contemporanea). The book is reviewed by Juliane Wetzel and Gabriella Gribaudi. V QUEST N. 14 Finally, in the Reviews section we offer concise but critical presentations of seven books dedicated to a wide range of topics. The Editors VI QUEST N. 14 – FOCUS “I see a man of great wisdom… and in his hand is a nimble scribe’s pen.” The Readers and Writers of Shomer Tziyon Hane’eman by Phil Keisman Abstract A Hebrew language periodical opposing the nascent Reform movement in Germany, Shomer Tziyon Hane’eman ran from 1846 through 1855. It was the first Hebrew-language, self-consciously Orthodox Jewish periodical. Formed by a small contingent of like-minded German rabbis, the periodical expanded the geographic scope of its contributors through its run. In an effort to win the ideological contest against the Reform movement, the periodical also featured forms of written content found in maskilic literature. This article begins by exploring the cultivation of a network of contributors and then examines how that content and the distribution model of a periodical cultivated a reading public similar to others found in 19th- century Europe. It posits that the formation of a reading public should be understood among the techniques used in the early stages of modern Orthodoxy in order to retain power in the face of shifting structures of confessional authority. Introduction “From Near and Far the Voices of the Faithful of Israel Extol Our Work”: Shomer Tziyon Hane’eman’s Network of Contributors “The Sages of the Nations Comfort Her and Bring Her Gifts; A Pleasant and Good Tasting Melitzah”: Marshalling the Power of Melitzah in the Battle against Reform Conclusion ___________________ 1 Phil Keisman Introduction Rabbi Ya’akov Halevi Sapir included a description of the citron fruit found in Palestine in a travelogue describing his 1854 journeys in the Levant. He wished for his European readers that they might “fulfill the commandment of (uttering the blessing while taking up as one of the Four Species) the citron fruit using the produce of the Holy Land.”1 Sapir imagined his audience interested in travelling to Palestine, and living in accordance with Halachah [Jewish law]. His readers belonged to the growing network of rabbis in Central Europe engaged in contentious debate with reformers.

In this respect, Owen McCafferty’s play Scenes from the Big Picture has Neo-Brechtian resonances. The audience is presented with frag- ments of lives of people, bits and pieces of a whole picture. This play exemplifies Brecht’s idea of a didactic play in so far as the audience is called to learn about the Northern Irish Troubles from the play through the device of fragmentation: the uneven background of McCafferty’s play – i.e. the Troubles – is peopled with traumatised indi- viduals, proportionally fragmented.

  • Appendix: Biographies of Jesuit Righteous Among the Nations
    journal of jesuit studies 5 (2018) 256-265 brill.com/jjs Appendix: Biographies of Jesuit Righteous among the Nations We are pleased to present here the biographies of the fifteen Jesuits who have been identified and honored by Yad Vashem with the title “Righteous among the Nations.” For permission to include these in this issue, we wish to thank the staff of Yad Vashem, especially Ms. Irena Steinfeldt and the editors of The Encyclopedia of the Righteous among the Nations (www.yadvashem.org). Boetto, Father Pietro Jesuit Cardinal Pietro Boetto (1871–1946) was the archbishop of Genoa from 1938 to 1946 after many years in leadership positions in the Society of Jesus. Pope Pius xi named him a cardinal in 1935. He has been recognized for saving many Jewish lives while working with the outlawed Jewish rescue network “Delasem.” He and his secretary Fr. Francesco Repetto “recruited bishops and archbishops throughout northern Italy to help in this endeavor, thus creating rescue networks that saved hundreds, if not thousands, of Jews […]. The help included shelter in religious institutions, false documents, hospitalization un- der false names, and escape to Switzerland.” On November 14, 2016, Yad Vashem honored Cardinal Pietro Boetto as Righ- teous among the Nations. Braun, Father Roger Roger Braun was a Jesuit priest. During the war, he devoted himself to the sav- ing of persecuted Jews without any attempt to proselytize them. On the con- trary, he tried to persuade Jews to adhere to their ancestral faith. After the war, Rabbi Henri Schilli, who became the director of the rabbinical seminary in Paris in 1950, related how father Braun’s principle of solidarity with the Jews dominated the priest’s actions during the entire occupation.

No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. INTRODUCTION “We were taught as children”—I was told by a seventy- year-old Pole—“that we Poles never harmed anyone. A partial abandonment of this morally comfortable position is very, very difficult for me.” —Helga Hirsch, a German journalist, in Polityka, 24 February 2001 HE COMPLEX and often acrimonious debate about the charac- ter and significance of the massacre of the Jewish population of T the small Polish town of Jedwabne in the summer of 1941—a debate provoked by the publication of Jan Gross’s Sa˛siedzi: Historia za- głady z˙ydowskiego miasteczka (Sejny, 2000) and its English translation Neighbors: The Destruction of the Jewish Community in Jedwabne, Poland (Princeton, 2001)—is part of a much wider argument about the totali- tarian experience of Europe in the twentieth century. This controversy reflects the growing preoccupation with the issue of collective memory, which Henri Rousso has characterized as a central “value” reflecting the spirit of our time.1 One key element in the understanding of collec- tive memory is the “dark past” of nations—those aspects of the na- tional past that provoke shame, guilt, and regret; this past needs to be integrated into the national collective identity, which itself is continu- ally being reformulated.2 In this sense, memory has to be understood as a public discourse that helps to build group identity and is inevita- bly entangled in a relationship of mutual dependence with other iden- tity-building processes.

    HANAN 2 Chedet.co.cc February 19, 2009 By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad Dear Hanan, 1. I think I cannot convince you on anything simply because your perception of things is not based on logic or reason but merely on your strong belief that you are always right, even if the whole world says you are wrong. 2. Jews have lived with Muslims in Muslim countries for centuries without any serious problem. 3. On the other hand in Europe, Jews were persecuted. Every now and again there would be pogroms when the Europeans would massacre Jews. The Holocaust did not happen in Muslim countries. Muslims may discriminate against Jews but did not massacre them. 4. But now you are fighting the largely Muslim Palestinians. It cannot be because of religious differences or the killing of Jews living among them. It must be because you have taken their land and expelled them from their homeland. It is therefore not a religious war. But of course as you seek sympathisers from among the non-Muslims, the Palestinians seek sympathisers among the Muslims. That still does not make the war a religious war. 5. Whether you speak Hebrew or not is not relevant. Lots of people who are not English speak English. They don't belong to England. For centuries you could speak Hebrew but remained Germans, British, French, Russians etc. 6. Lots of Jews cannot speak Hebrew but they are still Jews. Merely being able to speak Hebrew does not entitle you to claim Palestine. 7. The Jews had lived in Europe for centuries.
