Dr Lavoslav Kadelburg je bio uključen u jevrejski javni rad od najranije mladosti do kraja života. Kao predsednik Saveza Jevrejskih opština Jugoslavije od 1965. do 1991. i počasni predsednik od 1991. do 1994. godine bio je najduže na toj funkciji od postojanja Saveza, i to u vreme kada je jevrejska zajednica bila suočena sa največim izazovima: problemima odnosa i veza sa Izraelom, rastućim antise- mitizmom... Stoga ova Spomenica, posve- ćena 100-godišnjici njegovog rođenja, ne samo da daje sliku o jednom značajnom, velikom čoveku, već je istovremeno i deo istorije jugoslovenske jevrejske zajednice kojoj je pripadao.

DO 1941. GODINE Porodica Kadelburg bila je nastanjena u Vinkovcima gde jedan ogranak porodice i danas živi. U ove krajeve doselila se verovatno iz ju- gozapadne Nemačke gde, u blizini švajcarske granice, leži mesto Ka- delburg. Put ih je dalje vodio preko Mađarske i Bačke. Već je Lacijev1 otac rođen u Svetozaru Miletiću, a majka u Segedinu. Laci je rođen u Vinkovcima 26. avgusta 1910. godine, kao drugi sin Tobijasa i Jolan, rođene Emst. U kući Kadelburgovih odraslo je če- tvoro dece; tri sina, Aleksandar-Šandor, Lavoslav-Laci i Stjepan-Pišta. Najmlađe dete bila je ćerka Livija-Lici. Po pričanju Lacija živeli su skromno. Otac je imao malu bakalsku radnju. Kasnije je radio kao trgo- vački putnik pa je dosta putovao po zemlji i često odsustvovao iz kuće. Deca su rasla u duhu jevrejske tradicije koja je u porodici strogo pošto- vana. Duboki koreni jevrejstva koje je Laci poneo iz rodne kuće bili su deo njegove ličnosti do kraja života. Nije bilo običaja ili prigodne mo- litve koje nije znao, ili koje je zaboravio, pa ni tada kada su ga život i prilike približili sekulamom načinu života. Poštovao je želju verski opre- deljenog članstva da zajednica ima rabina i znalački se uključivao u Bet Din kada je to bilo potrebno. Jednom se ukazala prilika da se pokaže na delu. U Sarajevu je umro rabin Menahem Romano. Bilo je to u vreme kada se inače pripremao jevrejski kalendar. Rabin Cadik Danon se još nije bio prihvatio dužnosti. Izgledalo je da za tu godinu nećemo imati jevrejski kalendar. To se nije desilo. Laci je uskočio i, koristeći svoje znanje, sam pripremio kalendar. Osnovnu školu i gimnaziju završio je u Vinkovcima. Maturirao je 1929. godine. 1 Dr Lavoslava Kadelburga punim imenom oslovljavali su samo poznanici, prijatelji i saradnici iz njegovog profesionalnog i službenog okruženja. Za jevrejsku zajednicu, rođake i bliske prijatelje bio je, jednostavno, Laci, pa će tako ostati i u ovim redovima koji su mu posvećeni. Porodica Kadelburg, Vinkovci 1939. Sede: Serafina (Piština supruga), majka Jolan, otac Tobijas, Magda (Lacijeva supruga); stoje: Pišta, Sandor, Julijana (Šandorova supruga), Lici, Laci Doba njegovog gimnazijskog školovanja bilo je doba tolerancije i druženja. U Lacijevom razredu od trideset učenika bilo je deset I Jrvata, deset Srba i deset Jevreja. Među Jevrejima mu je bio školski drug sa kojim je jedno vreme sedeo u klupi David Frankfurter, kasnije u Švaj- carskoj atentator na nacistu Gustlofa2. Svaka od te tri grupe učenika je pohađala veronauku kod svojih veroučitelja, ali su svi zajedno smatrali svu trojicu sveštenika svojim profesorima. Pripadanje različitim verois- povestima nije delilo ni đake ni profesore. 2 David Frankfurter, sin rabina Frankfurtera iz Vinkovaca, student medicine u Nemač- koj. Posle dolaska nacista na vlast i početnih antijevrejskih mera, nastavio je studije u Švajcarskoj. Pucao je na nacističkog gaulajtera Vilhelma Gustlofa, vođu švajcar- skog ogranka nacističke partije i ubio ga u Davosu 4. februara 1936. Švajcarski sud gaje osudio na 18 godina robije. Pušten je iz zatvora juna 1945, po završetku Dru- gog svetskog rata, i zauvek proteran iz Švajcarske posle čega se uselio u lzrael. Ova zabrana je ukinuta 1969. Ime Davida Frankfurtera, kao aktivnog antifašističkog borca, ušlo je u Jevrejsku enciklopediju, a u Ramat Ganu, gde je živeo, jedna ulica dobila je njegovo ime.

Laci je bio dobar đak, pa je u višim razredima davao časove slabim učenicima. Tako je već u to vreme privređivao za svoje odevanje, ško- lovanje i za putovanja po zemlji i planinarenje za vreme školskog ra- spusta. Proputovao je gotovo celu zemlju, pa nije čudno da je 1925-1926.

  • Jews, Masculinity, and Political Violence in Interwar France
    Jews, Masculinity, and Political Violence in Interwar France Richard Sonn University of Arkansas On a clear, beautiful day in the center of the city of Paris I performed the first act in front of the entire world. 1 Scholom Schwartzbard, letter from La Santé Prison In this letter to a left-wing Yiddish-language newspaper, Schwartzbard explained why, on 25 May 1926, he killed the former Hetman of the Ukraine, Simon Vasilievich Petliura. From 1919 to 1921, Petliura had led the Ukrainian National Republic, which had briefly been allied with the anti-communist Polish forces until the victorious Red Army pushed both out. Schwartzbard was a Jewish anarchist who blamed Petliura for causing, or at least not hindering, attacks on Ukrainian Jews in 1919 and 1920 that resulted in the deaths of between 50,000 and 150,000 people, including fifteen members of Schwartzbard's own family. He was tried in October 1927, in a highly publicized court case that earned the sobriquet "the trial of the pogroms" (le procès des pogroms). The Petliura assassination and Schwartzbard's trial highlight the massive immigration into France of central and eastern European Jews, the majority of working-class 1 Henry Torrès, Le Procès des pogromes (Paris: Editions de France, 1928), 255-7, trans. and quoted in Felix and Miyoko Imonti, Violent Justice: How Three Assassins Fought to Free Europe's Jews (Amherst, MA: Prometheus, 1994), 87. 392 Jews, Masculinity, and Political Violence 393 background, between 1919 and 1939.

  • Testaments to the Holocaust
    Testaments to the Holocaust INTRODUCTION by Ben Barkow. General Editor & Director of the Wiener Library, London. Historical Background The Wiener Library is the oldest institution in the world established for the task of documenting the Nazi regime and its crimes against the Jewish people. The founder, Alfred Wiener (1885 - 1964) was a German Jew, born in Potsdam, who had studied Arabic literature to doctorate level, and spent the years 1907 - 1909 travelling in the Middle East. This experience persuaded him that the Zionist ideal was misplaced and that efforts to establish a national homeland for the Jews could only prove damaging to the Jews (naturally he altered his views later, enjoying friendly relations with former political enemies and even, for a time, pondering whether the Wiener Library should not move to Jerusalem). After serving in the 1914 - 1918 war (in the course of which he was decorated with the Iron Cross, 2nd Class) he became increasingly perturbed by the rise of extreme right-wing anti- Semitic groups in Germany. He joined the largest Jewish civil rights organisation, the conservative and anti-Zionist Centralverein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens (Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith), and devoted himself to the task of enlightening the German people about the dangers of right-wing extremism and anti- Semitism. Within a few years he had risen to a very high position in the organisation and was closely involved in formulating its policy. From 1925 onwards Wiener was in no doubt that the greatest danger from the far right was from the National Socialists under Hitler.

The sado-erotic voyeurism invited can be placed in historical and performative continuity with the Roman spectacle, literary ambivalence over female chastity, and both geographical and heresiographical fantasies about the sexual and cultural predilections of the Other. The spectacle of sado-erotic violence allows the enjoyment of erotic display at the same time as the disavowal of that enjoyment, which is projected onto the violently punitive actions of Roman authorities, heathen mobs, or (in eschatology) angels of hell. It also allows masochistic identification with victims’ eroticized brutalization and dissolution. MARTYROLOGY/PORNOGRAPHY The discussion of martyrology and its graphic details has grown quite sophisticated in recent years.

  • ABSTRACT Asceticism, the Sage, and the Evil Inclination
    ABSTRACT Asceticism, the Sage, and the Evil Inclination: Points of Contact between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity David W. Pendergrass, Ph.D. Mentor: Daniel H. Williams, Ph.D. In Jewish Christian comparative studies there exists a need to explore in more detail the ways in which Jews and Christians interacted religiously and socially in late antiquity. The thesis of this dissertation is that asceticism, the sociological and religious role of the sage, and the anthropological belief in the evil inclination are three aspects shared between predominate groups of Jews and Christians in late antiquity. So far no scholarship has joined these three, inter-dependent areas in Jewish-Christian comparative studies. Chapter Two examines the ways that Jews and Christians did not utterly “part ways” religiously or socially in late antiquity. Evidence of their interaction can be seen in adversus Iudaeos literature, catechetical material, liturgies, biblical exegetical practices, civic and ecclesial legislation, and various archaeological remains. Chapter Three examines the foundations of Christian asceticism and monasticism, especially in Egypt. This chapter critiques the traditional historical reconstructions of monastic origins, with special attention given to the theory that monasticism was an effort by ascetics to become living martyrs. Finally this chapter discusses how the Sayings are a product of the long tradition of ascetic wisdom made especially popular from the fourth through sixth centuries across the Roman Empire. Chapter Four examines the ways Jewish literature speaks to the practice of asceticism. The chapter is divided into three sections: pre-rabbinic Jewish ascetic practices, rabbinic ascetic practices, and the theological and sociological roles of the sage.

The Realization of a Virtual Past in Günter Grass's Crabwalk Abstract In his 1999 Nobel lecture, Günter Grass declares narration to be "a form of survival as well as a form of art." He sets out to demonstrate this declaration in his latest novella Crabwalk (2002), in which he echoes Walter Benjamin's concerns regarding war and information. The twist for Grass, the author who writes exclusively on his Olivetti typewriter, is that he analyzes the Internet as a narrative medium in his most recent work. This paper analyzes Crabwalk as a look at various forms of media—oral memories, historical monographs, film, and a website—through which humans narrate the past, in this case the 1945 sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, a German KdF (Strength Through Joy) ship, by a Russian U-boat.

Die Monographien, deren Thema und Art der Darstellung von den Autoren selbst gewählt werden, sollen Lücken in der Geschichtsforschung schliessen und damit zum besseren Verständnis einer heute weitgehend integrierten Minderheit in der Schweiz beitragen. «Wenn man gewusst hätte, was sich drüben im Reich abspielte...» Unsichere Zeiten: Rassismus, Fremdenhass, Intoleranz und Antisemitismus sind in Europa wieder auf dem Vormarsch - kaum ein halbes Jahrhundert nach dem Zusammenbruch des Dritten Reichs. Was wusste die Schweiz während des Zweiten Weltkriegs von den Ver­ brechen der Nationalsozialisten an den europäischen Juden? Nichts, wenn man den Beteuerungen Bundesrats von Steiger, damals verantwortlich für die Flüchtlingspolitik, Glauben schenken will. Aber die Quellen sprechen eine andere Sprache: Berichte von Diplomaten und Reisenden, von Mit­ gliedern der Schweizer Armee und deutschen Deserteuren, von jüdischen Flüchtlingen und unerschrockenen Journalisten beweisen das Gegenteil. Angst vor deutschen Interventionen, aber bisweilen auch Fremdenhass und unverhohlener Antisemitismus waren die Leitmotive schweizerischer Armee- und Regierungsstellen, um die Grenzen für jüdische Flüchtlinge zu schliessen.
