Extensive efforts at identifying and returning Jewish ceremonial objects and Jewish manuscripts, archives, and libraries that were plundered by Nazi Germany, its allies and collaborators to their original owners started immediately after the end of the Shoah, but the task is far from completed, even so many decades later. To encourage provenance research to be done on Judaica, the Claims Conference-WJRO over the years has stimulated and encouraged the Association of European Jewish Museums (AEJM), the Council of American Jewish Museums (CAJM), and the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) to adopt declarations in this area, which they all have done, and to move forward with examination of their collections. And we have worked in cooperation with Hashava-The Company for the Location and Restitution of Holocaust Victims’ Assets to ensure that Israeli museums, libraries, and archives do the same. To better understand the situation in all countries, we compiled a Descriptive Catalogue of Looted Judaica (published online in 2009, updated in 2016 – see http://art.claimscon.org/our- work/judaica/descriptive-catalogue-of-looted-judaica/), which provides a worldwide snapshot of what is known concerning the fate of Judaica. The Catalogue presents a summary of the history of Nazi looting of Judaica and of Judaica restitution efforts after the war divided by 70 separate countries. For each country, projects to identify looted Judaica are described, if they exist, followed by discussion of objects of Judaica in the country that are known to have been looted or to have gaps in their provenance that have been identified in databases, publications, or other sources. In some instances, information exists on the individual object level, while in other cases only more general descriptions of looted collections as a whole are available. The Catalogue also contains a list of relevant archives and a bibliography. The compilation is based on information from existing published and unpublished literature and archives, as well as information obtained from experts in various countries. In 2009, 47 nations, observer countries, and relevant non-governmental organizations, including the Claims Conference and the WJRO, convened for the Prague Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets. Among the reports prepared by the Claims Conference/WJRO was Holocaust Era Judaica and Jewish Cultural Property: A World-Wide Overview (see http://www.claimscon.org/forms/prague/Judaica.pdf), which recommended actions to be taken by participating nations to address the challenges in restitution of looted assets. The report was based on the Descriptive Catalogue of Looted Judaica. The Prague Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets resulted in the Terezin Declaration, which for the first time specifically dealt internationally with looted Judaica separately from looted art. The Prague Conference was followed by the establishment of the European Shoah Legacy Institute (ESLI), which as part of its Advisory Council appointed a Working Group on Judaica and Jewish Cultural Property chaired by Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek and with the following members: Inka Bertz, Julie- Marthe Cohen, Daniel Dratwa, Wesley Fisher, Karen Franklin, Rhoda Rosen, Hila Tene-Gilad, Photini Tomai-Constantopoulou, and Magda Veselská. Over the years that followed, many of the members of this Working Group held discussions among themselves – generally in conjunction with meetings of the Association of European Jewish Museums (AEJM) – about what would be most 4 | P a g e helpful to the field of provenance research on Judaica and what should happen concerning the restitution or other disposition of looted Judaica. These discussions led to the identification of two main goals. The first was the creation of a guide to how to do provenance research on Judaica – it was recognized that while some similar guides or manuals exist regarding provenance research on looted art, nothing comparable has existed for Judaica. The second was the eventual creation of an online exhibition on plundered Judaica that would provide a mechanism and opportunity for discussion of what best practices and standards should be in this field. The present Handbook on Judaica Provenance Research is an attempt under the auspices of the Claims Conference-WJRO Looted Cultural Property Initiative to reach the first of these goals in regard to ceremonial objects. It constitutes a major step forward in assisting museum and synagogue curators, dealers, researchers, survivors and their heirs to be able to determine the history of the ritual items in their collections or to learn more of the fate of cherished objects that may have been lost in the Holocaust. We have long supported databases, projects on archival sources, and training programs that are relevant to provenance research on art and cultural property generally, some of which are mentioned in the pages that follow. Among the grants that the Claims Conference has provided specifically in Judaica was one to help publish the book Neglected Witnesses. The Fate of Jewish Ceremonial Objects During the Second World War and After, edited by Julie-Marthe Cohen, with Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek [Crickadarn, 2011]. We are most pleased that these two specialists agreed to author this Handbook.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • New Dress Code for FRMS and EHS Grooming & Dress: See Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook for District Guidelines
    New Dress Code for FRMS and EHS Grooming & Dress: See Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook for District Guidelines. Responsibility for dress and grooming rests primarily with students and their parents; however, the district expects student dress and grooming to meet standards which ensure that the following conditions do not exist: 1. Disruption or interference with the classroom learning environment; 2. Threat to the health and/or safety of the student concerned or of other students. Students who represent the school in a voluntary activity may be required to conform to dress and grooming standards and may be denied the opportunity to participate if those standards are not net. Students may generally dress as they please, but there are some restrictions in keeping with basic health and safety standards, as well as minimizing disruptions to the learning environment. Provisions for dress and grooming for performance, activity-based, career or special activities will arise directly from the needs of the course or activity. Courses in science, career-technical education, music, fine arts, and alike, will outline the specific dress needs for safety, performance or venue in the respective course syllabi and/or safety contracts. Special activities or field trips will have specific dress needs outlined prior to departure so that both students and parents are prepared for both the activity and site location. When student hygiene impacts the ability of others in the classroom environment to learn, they may be asked by teaching or administrative staff to make use of the bathing facilities or pantry supplies.

  • Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues
    Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues Dr. Jonathan Petropoulos PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, LOYOLA COLLEGE, MD UNITED STATES Art Looting during the Third Reich: An Overview with Recommendations for Further Research Plenary Session on Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues It is an honor to be here to speak to you today. In many respects it is the highpoint of the over fifteen years I have spent working on this issue of artworks looted by the Nazis. This is a vast topic, too much for any one book, or even any one person to cover. Put simply, the Nazis plundered so many objects over such a large geographical area that it requires a collaborative effort to reconstruct this history. The project of determining what was plundered and what subsequently happened to these objects must be a team effort. And in fact, this is the way the work has proceeded. Many scholars have added pieces to the puzzle, and we are just now starting to assemble a complete picture. In my work I have focused on the Nazi plundering agencies1; Lynn Nicholas and Michael Kurtz have worked on the restitution process2; Hector Feliciano concentrated on specific collections in Western Europe which were 1 Jonathan Petropoulos, Art as Politics in the Third Reich (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press).

    1. Principal Investigator Name(s) and Academic Title(s): Kathryn Moore, Assistant Professor 2. Email Address(es): [email protected] 3. New course 4. Global Jerusalem ARTH 2XXX/2XXXW, Department of Art and Art History 5. Project description: This course will highlight Jerusalem as a historic and contemporary site of convergence between diverse artistic, religious, and political cultures and will deepen students’ understanding of the history of present-day questions surrounding Jerusalem as a contested city. The course will begin with the question of the relationship of archaeology, mapping, historical documents, and the writing of Jerusalem’s history. This introduction will span the entire historical period and will use the evolution of the architecture, urban formations, and related artistic cultures of Jerusalem as a lens for understanding the emergence and historical relationships of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Students will investigate the related question of how archaeological heritage and artistic traditions are perceived in relation to claims of territorial belonging and / or dispossession. The course will then shift focus to the history of imagining Jerusalem. In this context, students will learn about the emergence of Jerusalem as a center for the cultures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Students will also explore the various historical perspectives on what constituted colonialism and the related role of the idea of Jerusalem as a physical and conceptual center for religious communities with world-wide scopes, especially in relation to the Crusader states, global Catholicism, the British Mandate, and the State of Israel. Students will investigate contemporary perceptions of Jerusalem, looking to representations of the city in cyberspace, in contexts like virtual reconstructions, digital archaeology, and digitized books (including historical manuscripts and early printed books).

  • Why We Wear Kippot by Wayne Buse & Joseph (Yosef) Logue
    Why We Wear Kippot By Wayne Buse & Joseph (Yosef) Logue rom the days of Moshe, one of the distinguishing marks of F the Jewish people has been the head covering. Orthodox men are always seen wearing some kind of head covering, whether it is a kippah or a traditional hat. Conservative Jewish men wear a kippah for prayers and for home celebrations. Some Liberal (Reform) Jewish men wear a kippah only when they pray, if then. They follow the custom of the Jews of Biblical times who went bareheaded. Traditional Jewish women, even today, often have their heads covered with a scarf or a wig. Over the last 300 years, traditional Jews have been well known for wearing hats or some other type of head covering. In some European communities, the hat was transformed into the smaller yarmulke (Yiddish)/ kippah (Hebrew). Yarmulke might be an acronym for the Hebrew expression, "Yirey m'Elohim (Be in Fear of God)." That means it was worn in respect or reverence for HaShem. Kippah is the Hebrew name for the head covering and it means "covering". Whatever forms the head covering may take, the lesson is clear. The Jewish people are to always walk in submission and humility before God who is always watching over them. Where did this custom come from? Our answer is in the Torah. The concept of a head covering was actually formalized with the priestly garments of Israel. See Shemot (Exodus) 28:1-4. The sons of Aaron (the first Cohain HaGadol) and the Levi'im (tribe of Levi, Levites) were the ones appointed as the cohanim (priests).

    Ursprung und Entstehung von NS-verfolgungsbedingt entzogenem Kulturgut, die Anfänge der Restitution und ihre Bearbeitung aus heutiger Sicht am Beispiel der ULB Münster und der USB Köln Bachelorarbeit Studiengang Bibliothekswesen Fakultät für Informations- und Kommunikationswissenschaften Fachhochschule Köln vorgelegt von: Jan-Philipp Hentzschel Starenstr. 26 48607 Ochtrup Matr.Nr.: 11070940 am 01.02.2013 bei Prof. Dr. Haike Meinhardt Abstract (Deutsch) Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Thematik der Restitution von NS- verfolgungsbedingt entzogenem Kulturgut. Während der Zeit des „Dritten Reichs“ pro- fitierten deutsche und österreichische Bibliotheken in hohem Maß von den Kulturgut- raubzügen der diversen NS-Organisationen. Millionen von Büchern gelangten aus dem In- und Ausland unrechtmäßig in ihre Bestände, wo sie lange unbeachtet verblieben. Erst in den 1980er Jahren begann man in Bibliothekskreisen mit einer kritischen Ausei- nandersetzung der NS-Vergangenheit, die in den 90er Jahren durch politische Erklärun- gen und erste Rechercheprojekte weiter forciert wurde. Seitdem wurden die Bemühun- gen, das NS-Raub- und Beutegut aufzuspüren, es an die rechtmäßigen Eigentümer oder Erben zurückzuerstatten und die Projekte umfassend zu dokumentieren, stetig intensi- viert. Dennoch gibt es viele Bibliotheken, die sich an der Suche noch nicht beteiligt ha- ben. Diese Arbeit zeigt die geschichtliche Entwicklung der Thematik von 1930 bis in die heutige Zeit auf und gewährt Einblicke in die Praxis. Angefangen bei der Vorstellung einflussreicher

  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.

Harmonia Mundi’s Spanish arm and Qualiton in the US are two names that have sadly folded, but it is the loss of Codaex in Europe that has now affected the UK market due to the knock on consequences to Codaex UK. Although technically a separate company, several labels unfortunately became nervous and ‘jumped ship’, meaning that they had to take the difficult decision to cease trading in mid-July. Codaex UK have long supplied many independent labels including Haenssler, MDG and Pentatone, plus most of the popular historical labels such as Archipel, Andromeda, Gala, Myto, Preiser and Australian Eloquence. They provided us with excellent service over the years and will be sorely missed. Some of these labels already have new arrangements in place, and we hope that the rest will follow very soon. Watch this space... On a brighter note, we have managed to find plenty of special offers to present you with this month! See our Chandos Sale on pp.7-9, great reductions on Karajan recordings on p.10, plus much more from labels such as Orfeo, Audite, Naxos, Decca and DG. New releases are a little slim on the ground, but Harmonia Mundi certainly aren’t holding back, releasing brand new discs from both Isabelle Faust and Stile Antico - both can be found on p.2.
