Origins of the Irish Jewish Communities Sources: Stuart Rosenblatt interview on RTE, Radio One, 2010, and the following website, Akmian, from the Encylopaedia of Jewish Communities of Lithuania, written by Dov Levin and it was published in Yad Vashem 1996. http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/pinkas_lita/lit_00155.html) Stuart Rosenblatt FGSI (Fellow of the Genealogical Society of Ireland) He has spent years and endless hours of his time recording the origins of Jews in Ireland. His corpus of works thus far comprises 16 volumes! Stuart Rosenblatt took the country and assembled the information beginning with the family tree in Lithuania. If Jewish and Irish, your ancestors could have come from Ackmene in Lithuania. Ackmene is located in the north-west of Lithuania. Ackmene (pronounced Akmian) The town was established in the 16th century. It was burnt in 1705 in a war with the Swedes. In 1792, Ackmene received the Magdeburg Rights which were granted by the nobility to Jews and a few other minorities for commerce, trade and money- lending. Jewish settlement in Ackmene began in the beginning of the 18th century. In the first half of the 19th century, Jews numbered approximately two-thirds of the population. The mass immigrations of Jews began after the so-called May Laws were instigated in Tsarist Russia in 1881. These laws were meant to be temporary measures but lasted over thirty years. The types of laws are as follows: ‘As a temporary measure, and until a general revision is made of their legal status, it is decreed that the Jews be forbidden to settle anew outside of towns and boroughs, exceptions being admitted only in the case of existing Jewish agricultural colonies.’ ‘Temporarily forbidden are the issuing of mortgages and other deeds to Jews, as well as the registration of Jews as lessees of real property situated outside of towns and boroughs; and also the issuing to Jews of powers of attorney to manage and dispose of such real property.’ ‘Jews are forbidden to transact business on Sundays and on the principal Christian holy days; the existing regulations concerning the closing of places of business belonging to Christians on such days to apply to Jews also.’ ‘The measures laid down in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 shall apply only to the governments within the Pale of Jewish Settlement’ (the term given to Jews’ areas of residency within Imperial Russia). In 1893, a fire broke out in Akmenė which caused great damage to the property of the Jews. According to the notice which was published in amelitz the local Rabbi, Rav Aharon Eliyahu Kahane wrote, ‘A fire broke out in the middle of the town and its environs and more than forty houses, many buildings and stores were destroyed and sixty Jewish families were left destitute’.

  • The Classical Plays of Tony Harrison
    Banging the Lyre: The Classical Plays of Tony Harrison by Hallie Rebecca Marshall A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Comparative Literature) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2010 ©Hallie Rebecca Marshall, 2009 Abstract British poet Tony Harrison (b. 1937) is the most significant English verse playwright of the second half of the twentieth century and an important figure in the reception of classical literature on the British stage. This dissertation explores Harrison’s classical plays in relationship to their Greek and Latin models, positioning them amidst his other poetic works, and examining their cultural and historical contexts. The intent of this study is to examine these plays from a number of perspectives: intertexuality, exploring the ways in which Harrison engages with both classical literature and his own non-dramatic poetry; genre, arguing that Harrison uses not only Greek tragedy as a model, but also the other fifth-century dramatic genres of satyr play and Old Comedy, as well as nondramatic poetry, such as Latin epigrams; social and political contexts, establishing the importance of Harrison’s socio-economic and educational background in understanding the form and content of his dramatic verse, and exploring the ways in which he engages with a range of modern political issues, from the British class system to historical and contemporary military conflicts; performance, discussing Harrison’s interpretation and appropriation of fifth-century Athenian performance conventions, such as masks, as well as the influence that collaborators have had on the development of his unique theatrical style; and reception, articulating Harrison’s place within the history of the performance of English verse translations on the twentieth- century British stage, associating his work with the productions of translations by Gilbert Murray, differentiating his work from the classical adaptations of T.S.

  • Comedy & Drama Exhibition Stories, People and Programmes
    Comedy & Drama Exhibition Stories, people and programmes This exhibition is the latest in a continuing series of initiatives celebrating the achievements of writers, performers and programme producers associated with the BBC. It profiles the extent and diversity of their work and provides a useful reminder of BBCNI’s long-established role in both nurturing, and providing an outlet for, local creative talent. Radio and television dramas have explored universal themes using accents and storylines familiar as our own.And comedy – as well as making us laugh - has given us alternative perspectives on the problems, pre-occupations and occasional absurdities of life wherever it is lived. BBCNI has assisted local performers in reaching audiences beyond this place and their success has helped to nurture the region’s reputation as a provider of Network programmes across a range of genre and subject areas. Building on these accomplishments by seeking out new writers and production talent is a key objective for the future. Its achievement will be critical to the growth and viability of the creative industries in Northern Northern Ireland Ireland and the social, cultural and economic benefits associated with them. Society, like broadcasting itself, is constantly changing and BBCNI’s comedy and drama output must reflect informing... educating... entertaining... connecting... that reality. Quality, innovation and distinctiveness must remain its guiding ambitions as BBCNI fulfils a role that is made uniquely possible as a result of its licence funding

My greatest thanks must go to Christopher Burgess of Lymm for sending me copies of the ATV Star Book and the ATV Television Show Book features on Tony Hancock that sparked the idea for this project. Too lengthy to fit into a standard issue of The Missing Page they nevertheless were a fascinating contemporary insight into the programme. Seeking to share them with a wider audience, the idea grew of a special issue devoted to the ATV series. That issue grew from 12 pages to its current size. My grateful thanks also go to Tristan Brittain-Dissont, archivist of the Tony Hancock Appreciation Society (THAS) who found the interview with Tony in Time and Tide reproduced on page 18 and for his input to the drafting process. A special mention also to Mick Dawson, THAS librarian, for the photo of Tony on page 6.
