With these words, the Torah seems to be telling us that it is appropriate to be aware of what has transpired before us, to ponder what has happened in history, to consider the experiences of those who lived in generations gone by. While one might study history out of a sense of curiosity, out of an appreciation of an exciting story, or out of a quest for general knowledge, the Torah here indi- cates that there is a more profound goal, namely, to assimilate the message that the past is relevant to us in the present.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Yiddish Historians and the Struggle for a Jewish History of the Holocaust A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Mark Lee Smith 2016 © Copyright by Mark Lee Smith 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Yiddish Historians and the Struggle for a Jewish History of the Holocaust By Mark Lee Smith Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Saul Friedländer, Co-Chair Professor David N. Myers, Co-Chair At the intersection of three areas of Jewish scholarship — Yiddish studies, Holocaust studies, and the history of Jewish historiography — one encounters a group of Holocaust historians whose works have yet to be explored in their original context. The study of the Holocaust has led to increasing interest in source materials written in Yiddish, and it has also led to a well-developed literature on the history of Holocaust historiography. Surprisingly neglected in that literature are the works of the survivor historians who chose to write Holocaust history in the Yiddish vernacular of their readers. This work introduces the general subject of Yiddish historical writing — and the concept of “Yiddish historians” — in the context of prewar Diaspora nationalism. ii It explores the continuities that led these historians to study the Jewish history of the Holocaust and also rendered Yiddish historiography an appropriate vehicle for their work. Chief among these were the focus on internal Jewish history and the anti- lachrymose approach to Jewish historical writing that had developed among Yiddish historians before the Holocaust and which led to their study of Jewish life, rather than death, under Nazi occupation.

  • Toward the Jewish Revolution: Yiddish Anarchists in New York City, 1901-1906
    Toward the Jewish Revolution: Yiddish Anarchists in New York City, 1901-1906 By Reynolds Hahamovitch Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Supervisor: Michael Miller Second Reader: Marsha Siefert CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2018 Statement of Copyright Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection Abstract In this thesis I argue that the Yiddish anarchist movement in New York City experienced a period of critical transition between 1901 and 1906 that saw the movement largely turn away from internationalist discourse, and become more deeply involved in Jewish politics. Using the main newspaper of the Yiddish anarchists, the Freie Arbeiter Stimme, I investigate two the effects of two events in particular: the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901 and the Russian Revolution of 1905. The assassination led to a wave of anti-anarchist sentiment and legislation that accelerated growing divisions within a mostly ambiguous Jewish radical movement made up of socialists and anarchists of all kind, atomizing different strains of radicals and leaving them more susceptible to ideological change. The Revolution of 1905 and its hundreds of pogroms brought that ideological change, shocking Jewish political movements everywhere and leading to the rapid growth of Jewish nationalism.
