    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M.

  • Samuel N. Deinard and the Unification of Jews in Minneapolis / Michael G
    THE AMERICAN JEWISH community of the 1970s, although diversified in terms of family origin, rehgious practice, educational attainment, geographical lo­ cation, and financial position, is essentially a united, "self-conscious" — though hardly monolithic — ethnic group. However, this condition of corporate self-identi­ fication did not always exist. During the latter years of the nineteenth century and the early ones of the twentieth, a major and often crucial cleavage within American Jewry was one of national origins, essentially German Jew versus Eastern European Jew. By the late 1920s the difference was greatly diminished; by the late 1940s it hardly existed. Its disappearance as a powerful factor in the Jewish community was the re­ sult of sociological forces, accidental events, and the self-conscious efforts of certain community leaders to create a unified body. What was true among Jews nationally was also true among Jews in Minneapolis. The original purpose of this study was to examine the general history of Min­ neapolis Jewry up to 1922 and determine, if possible, the role of the Anglo-Jewish press in this integrating Samuel N. Deinard process. It soon became evident that it would be im­ possible to divorce the major example of Anglo-Jewish journalism in Minneapolis — the American Jewish World — from the personality of its founder and editor, Samuel N. Deinard. and the In addition to having been the prime mover of the World, Deinard was rabbi at Shaarai Tov^ (later named Temple Israel), a professor of Semitic languages and literature at the University of Minnesota, and an active participant in both local and national fraternal Unification and charitable organizations.

  • Albania: the Country That Actually Saved Jews During the Holocaust
    Albania: The Country That Actually Saved Jews During the Holocaust Stephen D. Kulla Gratz College Situated on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe, with its coastline facing the ​ ​ Adriatic Sea to the northwest and the Ionian Sea to the southwest along the Mediterranean Sea, ​ sits the country of Albania. Albanians are generally recognized as the oldest inhabitants of Southeast Europe, and are descendants of the Illyrians, the core pre-Hellenic population that 1 extended as far as Greece and Italy. Albania is a relatively small county of 11,000 square miles with a present population of just under three million people; yet within the mountains and hills that run in different directions across the length and breadth of the country lies a little-known 2 story of preeminent heroism. Despite being a predominantly Muslim nation and the only majority Muslim nation in Europe at the time, Albania​ is the only European country able to ​ 3 arguably claim that every Jew within its borders was spared from death during the Holocaust. 4 The assertion, while not completely accurate, is even more compelling because the result was unequivocally not due to an organized effort, nor by a governmental decree. It was, however, surely not accidental. Despite being occupied by Italy and then Germany during World War II and being ruled at different times by two very distinctive forms of government, Albania not only 5 protected its meager Jewish population, but offered refuge to Jews from wherever they came. The explanation for this occurrence is greatly summed up in one word: Besa, an honor code 6 unique to Albania, which simply and concisely means “to keep the promise.” On the eve of World War II, Albania remained an impoverished feudal kingdom, largely ​ inaccessible, lacking railways, telephone lines and electric power beyond the capital of Tirana.

  • The Leo Frank Affair As a Turning Point in Jewish-American History
    The Yahudim and the Americans: The Leo Frank Affair as a Turning Point in Jewish-American History Jason Schulman Columbia University Historians have often described the Jewish-American past as exceptional, mostly because anti-Semitism has played a conspicuously less important role in America than in any other country in the Diaspora. As American Jewish historian Jonathan Sarna concludes, if the United States “has not been utter heaven for Jews, it has been as far from hell as Jews in the Diaspora have ever known.”1 If such a statement is true, then the Leo Frank affair becomes even more egregious in Jewish American history. For Jews who had come to see America as the land of unencumbered opportunity, the “Goldene Medina,” the false conviction and subsequent lynching of a prominent Jew in Atlanta in 1913 resembled contemporaneous anti-Semitic attacks in Europe. Looking back on this incident from a Jewish as well as an American perspective, and despite admirable attempts by previous historians to make sense of this muddled event, the Frank affair has not been given proper attention. Typically, historians seeking to stress the ease with which Jewish immigrants became “Americanized” have ignored or downplayed the Frank affair, while even those historians who acknowledge the severity of the anti-Semitic event have failed to grasp its widespread significance; for the latter group, the Leo Frank affair was an isolated southern incident.2 The Leo Frank affair is arguably the single-most loaded event in Jewish American history, touching on multiple issues that have defined the rise of Jews in America: “Americanization,” labor, upward mobility, gender, immigration, nativism, and anti-Semitism.3 The facts of the Leo Frank “affair,” the term employed by Albert Lindemann to describe Frank’s conviction, imprisonment, and lynching, are clear.4 In April 1913, Leo Frank, the superintendent of a pencil factory in Atlanta, was arrested for the murder of Mary Phagan, a child laborer in the factory.

To consider his skill as automobile designer; his forceful, innovative management of advertising and public relations; his adept painting, sculpting and photography; his exceptional sense of personal elegance; the creation by his wife and himself of a remarkable personal residence; his philanthropic enterprises; his challenging, adroit and often deeply frustrating dealings with his own father Henry Ford; and, last but not least, his use of Diego Rivera—a man strangely misunderstood in his own time as the artist who did not do business. 2 Edsel Ford’s life story happened in a unique American city, Detroit, Michigan, which the late New York Times journalist R.
