  • Slovakia's Righteous Among the Nations
    Slovakia’s Righteous among the Nations Gila Fatran Slovak-Jewish relations, an important factor in the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust, were influenced in no small part by events that took place in the latter third of the 19th century. That century saw the national awakening of oppressed nations. The Slovak nation, ruled by the Hungarians for 1,000 years, was struggling at the time for its national existence. The creation of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy led in 1867 to the granting of equal civil rights to the Jews in the empire in the assumption that they would assimilate nationally and culturally into the state. At the same time the Hungarian leaders stepped up their suppression of the Slovak nation. The integration of the Jews into the developing economic and cultural life and the continued improvement in their situation alongside the suppression of the aspirations of the Slovaks, were used by the political and church representatives of the Slovak nation to fan the flames of Jew-hatred and to blame the Jews for the difficult lot of the Slovak People. During this period many Slovak publications also addressed the existence of a “Jewish Question” in a negative sense: blaming the Jews for all of the Slovak society’s ills. During this era, one of the central reasons behind the rise of Slovak antisemitism was the economic factor. At the same time, the slogan “Svoj k svojmu,” which, freely translated, means “Buy only from your own people,” registered a series of “successes” in neighboring countries. However, when nationalists, using this motto, launched a campaign to persuade Slovaks to boycott Jewish-owned shops, their efforts proved unsuccessful.

  • The Heroes and the Flame*
    ROCZNIK ORIENTALISTYCZNY, T. LXVI, Z. 1, 2013, (s. 86–102) TAL DAVIDOVICH The Heroes and the Flame* Abstract The poems of the Jewish poet Hanna Senesh bear witness to strong resolve and refusal to stand by without interference. Written mostly in Hebrew the words reflect a fusion of ancient as well as modern features of expression. She left her place of birth for what was to become the modern state of Israel, but did not stay in safety deciding instead to risk her life in order to bring hope to Jews in Hungary towards the end of the Second World War. Keywords: Jewish literature, Hebrew literature, Hanna Senesh, Second World War, Jews in Hungary It was a time of war, a time of uncertainty, of horror and fear. But not only that, it was also a time of heroism, kindness, and an opportunity for a change. It was a time for resistance. Resistance as a noun is something that is connected to a group and in such a case there are always leaders or heroes or perhaps both.1 Resistance however, is usually not only one single act but it is built upon several acts made by different people. Furthermore, according to the Oxford dictionary the first definition of resistance is “The refusal to accept or comply with something” and therefore * I would like to thank the Hanna Senesh Legacy Foundation, Kibbutz Sdot Yam, Israel that was kind enough to send me the Hebrew versions of the poems quoted in this paper. I would also like to thank Mrs. Maya Nathanson for her efforts in connection to this.

  • Verleihung Des Bundesverdienstkreuzes Am Bande Für Prof. Krishna WINSTON Laudation Von GK Dr
    Verleihung des Bundesverdienstkreuzes am Bande für Prof. Krishna WINSTON Laudation von GK Dr. Ralf Horlemann Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT, 13. Februar 2017 Ladies and gentlemen, Esteemed Guests Dear Professor Krishna Winston “We, the Archives staff, called him Fonty”. This is the first sentence in Krishna Winston’s celebrated translation of “Ein weites Feld” by Günter Grass, which she congenially translated into “Too far afield”. Those who know the powerful language of Günter Grass’ novels in German understand the linguistic challenges and traps of translating it into English. And Krishna Winston has translated 658 pages of this epic novel. It’s a masterpiece! Holding a laudatio on the occasion of the bestowal of an Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany on behalf of the German Federal President is a wonderful duty for any Consul General. And I am so happy to be here today to fulfill this duty. Holding a laudatio in English for a celebrated translator of German literature into English is, however, quite a daunting task. And holding it for someone who is known for catching any inconsistency in the language, whom nobody can fool when it comes to translations is somehow awe inspiring, I have to admit. So, I beg your understanding and discreteness, dear professor Winston, for any inconsistencies and any “Germanisms” my speech may contain. I stand in front of you and all your guests today, to honor and applaud the great achievements in your life devoted to the German language, to the appreciation of German literature in the English language and to the understanding between two great and closely related nations: Germany and the United States of America.

  • 18. Silser Hesse-Tage 15
    18. silser hesse-tage 15. — 18. Juni 2017 «Im Geistigen gibt es eigentlich keine unglückliche Liebe». Hermann Hesse und Thomas Mann Die diesjährigen Hermann Hesse-Tage widmen sich einer besonders glücklichen Konstellation im Leben des Dichters: der freundschaftlichen Ver- bundenheit mit seinem großen Kollegen, dem 2 Jahre älteren Thomas Mann. In Zusammenarbeit mit der Thomas Mann-Gesellschaft Zürich beleuchten sie sowohl den Werdegang ihrer Beziehung als auch ihre ganz unterschiedliche Lebensführung und Art wie sie in ihren Werken auf die zeitgeschichtlichen Herausforderungen des 20. Jahrhunderts reagiert haben. In seiner Hommage zum 60. Geburtstag Hesses schrieb Thomas Mann: «Unter der literarischen Generation, die mit mir angetreten, habe ich ihn früh als den mir Nächsten und Liebsten erwählt und sein Wachstum mit einer Sympathie begleitet, die aus Verschiedenheiten so gut ihre Nahrung zog wie aus Ähnlichkeiten.» Und einem der wenigen Leser, der die beiden Autoren nicht gegeneinander ausspielte, antwortete er 1949: «Es hat mir Freude gemacht, dass Sie den ‚Doktor Faustus’ mit den ‚Glasperlenspiel’ zusammen nennen. Es sind in Wahrheit brüderliche Bücher. Freilich können Brüder ja sehr verschieden aussehen, sind aber doch einen Blutes.» Auch auf dieser Tagung kommen ausgewiesene Kenner und Forscher zu Wort, um die Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen der beiden Nobelpreisträger aufzuspüren. Den Einführungsvortrag «Lob der Herzenshöflichkeit» hält der Schriftsteller Michael Kleeberg. Zum Abschluss der Tagung wird Adolf Muschg wieder eine Bilanz der verschiedenen Beiträge mit seiner Sicht der Dinge zusammenfassen. In einer kurzweiligen Abendveranstaltung unter dem Titel «Spitzbübischer Spötter und treuherzige Nachtigall» inszeniert die Zürcher Theatergruppe Rigiblick mit authentischen Dialogen u.a. aus der Korrespondenz der beiden Autoren sowie anderen Quellen ein Hörbild von Volker Michels über die Beziehungen zwischen dem Sprössling schwäbischer Missionare und dem norddeutschen Senatorensohn aus Lübeck.
