  • Bank of Israel
    BANK OF ISRAEL The Government and Finance Committee of the Knesset Jerusalem In accordance with sections 59 and 60 of the Bank of Israel Law, 5714­1954, I respectfully submit herewith the Annual Report of the Bank of Israel for the year 1975. The Report is based on material prepared by the Research Department of the Bank. Most of the statistical data in Parts One and Two were supplied by the Central Bureau of Statistics. Some of the statistical information on which the 1974 Report and the 1976 National Budget were based was recently revised, and consequently some of the data in this Report have also been revised, with the changes being of more than a mere technical nature. As in the two preceding years, developments in 1975 were not even. There were sharp fluctuations in the level of economic activity and in several major economic variables. This was due partly to exogenous factors, especially the slump and subsequent recovery of world trade, and partly to deliberate government policy and the public's response to the measures introduced. In 1975 the economy had to grapple with the balance of payments problem, which occupies a prominent place in this Report. The main conclusion emerging from an analysis of developments in 1975 is that the positive results of the government's action­the curbing of private consumption, a slight contraction of the real import surplus, and some weakening of inf lation­­were far from adequate, given the dimensions and gravity of the balance of payments situation. The crucial question facing the economy remains the checking of import growth, and even more, the rapid expansion of exports.

  • A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources
    A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources Report of the Planning Committee, Conference On Jewish Material Claims Against Germany June 28, 2000 25 Sivan 5760 1 Rabbi Israel Miller, President, Conference On Jewish Material Claims Against Germany 15 East 26 Street New York, New York Dear Israel, I am pleased to enclose A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources, the report of the distinguished Planning Committee which I have had the honor of chairing. The Committee has completed a thoughtful ten-month process, carefully reviewing the issues and exploring a variety of options before coming to the conclusions contained in this document. We trust that you will bring these recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Claims Conference for review and action. Through this experience, I have become convinced that the work of the Claims Conference is not adequately understood or appreciated. I hope that this report and the results of this planning process will help dispel the confusion about the past and future achievements of the Claims Conference. No amount of money can compensate for the destruction of innocent human beings and thriving communities or the decimation of the Jewish people as a whole by the Nazis. We can try to use available resources - specifically the proceeds of the sale of communal and unclaimed property in the former East Germany - to respond to the most critical needs related to the consequences of the Shoah. This is what the enclosed Plan tries to accomplish. I want to thank the members of the Committee who came from near and far for their attendance and commitment, and for the high quality of their participation.

  • Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context
    Field-Marshal Albert Kesselring in Context Andrew Sangster Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy University of East Anglia History School August 2014 Word Count: 99,919 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or abstract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis explores the life and context of Kesselring the last living German Field Marshal. It examines his background, military experience during the Great War, his involvement in the Freikorps, in order to understand what moulded his attitudes. Kesselring's role in the clandestine re-organisation of the German war machine is studied; his role in the development of the Blitzkrieg; the growth of the Luftwaffe is looked at along with his command of Air Fleets from Poland to Barbarossa. His appointment to Southern Command is explored indicating his limited authority. His command in North Africa and Italy is examined to ascertain whether he deserved the accolade of being one of the finest defence generals of the war; the thesis suggests that the Allies found this an expedient description of him which in turn masked their own inadequacies. During the final months on the Western Front, the thesis asks why he fought so ruthlessly to the bitter end. His imprisonment and trial are examined from the legal and historical/political point of view, and the contentions which arose regarding his early release.

  • A Disability Legal Studies Analysis of Privilege and Neglect in Israeli Disability Policy
    Between Charity, Welfare, and Warfare: A Disability Legal Studies Analysis of Privilege and Neglect in Israeli Disability Policy Sagit Mor* "Hidden and disregarded for too long, we are demanding not only rights and equal opportunity, but are demanding that the academy take on the nettlesome question of why we've been sequestered in the first place."' INTRODUCTION Throughout the last century, the modem welfare state has been widely considered a major source of rescue and relief for people with disabilities. By providing mechanisms of cure and care, so the common view goes, the welfare state has improved the social conditions of disabled people, rescuing them from a life of starvation and severe destitution. In this view, welfare provides a refuge, while the real responsibility for the persistent poverty of disabled people lies primarily with the structure of the market economy, with the existence of negative social attitudes, and with disability's "objective" and inherent limitations. In this Article, I challenge this view, arguing that although welfare has indeed provided some relief to people with disabilities, welfare laws and policies have also had a significant role in developing, furthering, and * LL.B., Tel Aviv University.

  • Rutka's Broken Wor(L)
    Broken Wor(l)ds: Rutka's Notebook Broken Wor(l)ds: Rutka's Notebook Liliane Steiner, Hemdat Hadarom Academic College, Netivot, Israel Introduction Rutka's Notebook is a diary kept by a young Jewish girl who lived in Bedzin, Poland during the Holocaust. Rutka Laskier started to keep her diary four months before she was deported to Auschwitz. In this diary, written in a school notebook, she recounts her adolescent life in the ghetto as well as her distress vis-à-vis the atrocities the Nazis inflicted upon her and her people. Aware of the risk she ran to be moved to Kamionka, Rutka agreed with Stanislava Sapinska, the apartment owners' daughter whom she had befriended, that she would hide her notebook in the apartment before leaving. In 1945, when the war was over, Sapinska returned to the apartment and found the diary in the place Rutka had indicated1 to her back in 1943. Pages from Rutka's notebook sent by Zahava Shertz, Rutka's half- sister. Women in Judaism: A Multidisciplinary Journal Volume 12 Number 2 (2015) 1 ISSN 1209-9392 © 2015 Women in Judaism, Inc. All material in the journal is subject to copyright; copyright is held by the journal except where otherwise indicated. There is to be no reproduction or distribution of contents by any means without prior permission. Contents do not necessarily reflect the views of the editors. Broken Wor(l)ds: Rutka's Notebook Through the Broken Wor(l)ds Rutka's Notebook was first brought to the public's awareness only in 2006. Rutka’s Polish friend, who decided to reveal her secret to a relative, and pass on this silenced voice, kept this notebook secret for sixty years.2 Though written by a Jewish teenager in distress who was driven by the urge to leave some record, this diary constitutes a literary work which contains ingenious dialectics between form and content, growth and death, sensitivity and evil, life and hell; in short, the economy of the darkest period of history and its impact on Rutka's soul.

The essay discusses the possible production of a documentary !lm about the genocide, made by the perpetrators. In doing so, it challenges a set of assumptions that is commonly put into action against such an endeavour. By examining the various activities of private and o"cial photographers and cameramen in the context of the deportation and extermination of the European Jews and by drawing on contemporary sources which hint to such a – now lost – !lm project, the essay examines the available evidence and investigates comparable footage, arguing that the gaze of the perpetrators has long been part of our collective visual memory of the Holocaust.
