  • Production Notes
    A Film by John Madden Production Notes Synopsis Even the best secret agents carry a debt from a past mission. Rachel Singer must now face up to hers… Filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the U.K., and Budapest, the espionage thriller The Debt is directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds of the upcoming Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team’s mission was accomplished – or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

  • Ausblick: Der Weg Des Zionismus Von Der Utopie Zur Wirklichkeit
    Ausblick: Der Weg des Zionismus von der Utopie zur WIrklichkeit Die so ausstrahlungskräftigen politischen Führungspersönlichkeiten Israels, derer es nicht wenige gab und die alles andere als unumstritten blieben, faszinierten in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten und nicht zuletzt von lCJ77 bis 1983, bis zum Rücktritt Menahem Begins, die Beobachter der israelischen Politik. Nicht allen gefiel alles an den israelischen Politikern. Aber selten blieb man ihnen gegenüber gleichgültig. Israel, Israelis und beson­ ders israelische Politiker polarisierten, nach außen ebenso wie nach innen. Durch eine Personalisierung der Politik könnte man leicht vergessen, daß die gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Probleme Israels weniger mit "großen" Männern und Frauen als vielmehr mit der Identität des jüdi• schen Staates zusammenhängen. Der Staat steckt in einer ,Identitäts• krise', die eine bislang nie gekannte Polarisierung und, daraus abgelei­ tet, auch im Weltjudentum bewirkt hat (vgl. Wolffsohn, 1983 b). Diese Identitätskrise hat einen arabisch-jüdischen sowie einen innerjüdischen Aspekt. Zunächst zum arabisch-jüdischen Bereich: Der Krieg gegen die PLO im Libanon, besonders die Massaker in den heiden Beiruter Flüchtlingslagern (1982), hat den Israelis deutlicher als frühere Ereig­ nisse die Kosten des eigenen Erfolges drastisch vor Augen geführt. Dies bezieht sich auf den Kampf gegen die PLO, ja sogar auf das zionistische Autbauwerk schlechthin: Sollte das Leid der Palästinenser der Preis für einen jüdischen Staat sein? fragen erstmals seit dem Herbst 1982 nicht nur Randgruppen sondern weite Kreise der Bevölkerung Israels. Zugleich wurden Zweifel an der Strategie der militärischen Hegemo­ nie, d.h. der militärischen Übermacht laut. Bislang hieß es immer, Is­ rael müsse militärische Übermacht besitzen, damit die Araber nicht den jüdischen Staat vernichten könnten.

  • ORT PH List Numerical
    The Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People Jerusalem (CAHJP) ORT PHOTO COLLECTION – ORT/Ph ORT (organization for rehabilitation and training) was founded in 1880 as a Russian, Jewish organization to promote vocational training of skilled trades and agriculture and functioned there until the outbreak of World War I, which together with the Bolshevik Revolution caused a virtual cessation of its activities. In 1920 ORT was reestablished in Berlin as an international organization and began operating in Russia and the countries that had formerly been part of Russia – Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Bessarabia – as well as in Germany, France, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the offices were moved from Berlin to Paris and subsequently to Marseilles after the capture of Paris by the Germans in 1940. After World War II the headquarters of World ORT Union were set up in Genève, from which they later moved to London, where they reside to this day. The list below is arranged according to serial numbers each of which represents a country. The sequencing is based on the original order of photos inside the former metal binders, hence towns within a country are listed randomly, not alphabetically. Displaying the photo collection of the ORT files from the headquarters in London, most of the descriptions are the original captions from the former binders.

  • Two Points of View on Israeli-Palestinian Conflict to Be Aired 4/21/03
    Two points of view on Israeli-Palestinian conflict to be aired 4/21/03 Dr. Iddo Netanyahu, brother of the former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will speak at 8 p.m. Wednesday (April 23) in Room 114, Seidlin Hall, on the Alfred University campus. His appearance is sponsored by Hillel at Alfred.Dr. Netanyahu's appearance on the AU campus offers people a choice of speakers with disparate viewpoints on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Russell Lecture,, scheduled for 8 p.m. Wednesday in Holmes Auditorium, Harder Hall, will feature Dr. Norman G. Finkelstein, a Fulbright senior specialist and a professor of political science at DePaul University. The title of his lecture is "The Origins of the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict." Dr. Iddo Netanyahu, a physician and author who now makes his home in upstate New York, will assess the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the wake of the second Iraq war, and will also field questions from the audience.A member of one of Israel's most prominent families, Dr. Netanyahu's father, Benzion Netanyahu, is a highly-regarded historian and author. His older brother, Jonathan, was killed in 1976 leading an elite Israeli commando unit that rescued more them 100 Air France passengers held by plane highjackers at Entebbe airport in Uganda. Dr. Netanyahu, who later became a member of the same commando unit, wrote a book about the Entebbe rescue mission. "With Israel demonized by much of the mideast world, this is an unusual opportunity to participate in a knowledgeable question-and-answer discussion about one of today's most vexing political issues," said Dr.

  • Marianne Cohn Et Son Action De Résistance
    Ruth Fivaz-Silbermann Historienne, Genève Marianne Cohn et son action résistante L'action L'action de Marianne Cohn à la frontière franco-suisse s'inscrit dans le travail de la Résistance juive au plan d'extermination des nazis. Marianne fait partie d'un réseau créé au printemps 1942, appelé «Mouvement de la Jeunesse sioniste». Ce réseau procure des caches et des faux papiers aux juifs étrangers ou français, menacés sur tout le territoire d'arrestation et de déportation, parce qu'ils sont juifs. Il travaille en étroite collaboration avec le réseau des Eclaireurs israélites de France. Leur objectif principal est de sauver des enfants et des adolescents juifs, notamment en les faisant passer en Suisse. La Suisse a autorisé, fin 1943, l'arrivée de 1'500 enfants juifs de France. Après avoir travaillé à Moissac, à Nice et à Grenoble, Marianne, qui a 21 ans, est chargée début 1944 par son réseau de convoyer des groupes d'enfants et de jeunes vers la Suisse, à la frontière genevoise. Elle travaille sous les ordres de Simon Lévitte, chef du mouvement, et d'Emmanuel «Mola» Racine, chef du service de passage en Suisse et frère de Mila Racine, qui a été arrêtée sur cette même frontière le 21 octobre précédent. L’équipe compte cinq ou six résistants, dont Hélène Bloch, Rolande Birgy et Colette Dufournet. Mais Marianne sera la plus active: elle convoie neuf groupes d'enfants en avril et mai 1944, soit 207 enfants au total. Hélas, elle est arrêtée le 31 mai 1944, avec les 32 enfants de son dernier convoi.

  • Calgary Jewish Community Council and Its Successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, During an Incredibly Busy and Productive Year
    Rededicating Renewing Rejewvenating Annual Report 2010 – 2011 | 5771 President and Interim Executive Director’s Message It is a real pleasure to share in these pages the accomplishments of Calgary Jewish Community Council and its successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, during an incredibly busy and productive year. Our efforts this past year have been focused on renewing and “rejewvenating” our Jewish community through education, inclusion and leadership development. We reached in to the unaffiliated and reached out to the greater Calgary community. And we are proud to say that we brought the joys of “doing Jewish” to an increasing number of men, women and children. We have a new name and new logo. Calgary Jewish Federation is now our community’s central funding, planning and coordinating body, completing a process that began with our March 2007 Strategic Plan for Ensuring the Future of the Jewish Community. This year, Federation and CJCC share one annual report. Henceforth, we will operate independently of one another. CJCC will continue to proudly serve the community, but will function independently as a not-for-profit organization tasked with coordinating local Israel advocacy efforts and promoting projects and programs with our sister region of Etzba HaGalil (the Galilee Panhandle) in Northern Israel. Another major undertaking during the past year was our search for a new Executive Director, and we are very pleased to welcome Drew Staffenberg back to Calgary in that capacity. Having served the community so capably from 1983 through 1993, Drew returns to us with outstanding experience in campus development and we are thrilled that he will help us to achieve our dream of a Jewish community campus.

  • Background United Israel Appeal the Jewish Federations of North America ______
    BACKGROUND UNITED ISRAEL APPEAL THE JEWISH FEDERATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ History United Israel Appeal (“UIA”) was first established in 1925 as the United Palestine Appeal (“UPA”) in order to unify fundraising in America for a Jewish national homeland. Keren Hayesod, the fundraising organization for the Jewish Agency, Hadassah, Hebrew University, the Jewish National Fund and Mizrachi were the constituents. UPA was dissolved in 1930 and reconstituted in 1936 by Keren Hayesod and the Jewish National Fund. In 1938, UPA entered into a partnership with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (“JDC”) to found the United Jewish Appeal (“UJA”). UIA has undergone vast changes since those early days. In addition to the partnership begun in 1938, the most significant changes prior to 2000 came in 1971 as a result of the reconstitution of the Jewish Agency for Israel. After the Reconstitution Agreement, for the first time, American Jewish leaders from federations, as well as all the American Zionist organizations, served as members of the UIA Board. UIA was allocated 30% of the seats on the Board of Governors (“BOG”) of the Jewish Agency. UIA appointed federation representatives to the Jewish Agency Board, while the American Zionist organizations had seats on the Jewish Agency Board through their membership in the World Zionist Organization (“WZO”). The Reconstitution Agreement in 1971 was followed by UIA naming the Jewish Agency for Israel as its exclusive operating agent in Israel. In 1999, United Jewish Communities (“UJC”) was created as a merger of UIA, National UJA and the Council of Jewish Federations (“CJF”), into a single, national organization.
