  • Israeli Historiograhy's Treatment of The
    Yechiam Weitz Dialectical versus Unequivocal Israeli Historiography’s Treatment of the Yishuv and Zionist Movement Attitudes toward the Holocaust In November 1994, I helped organize a conference called “Vision and Revision.” Its subject was to be “One Hundred Years of Zionist Histo- riography,”1 but in fact it focused on the stormy debate between Zionists and post-Zionists or Old and New Historians, a theme that pervaded Is- rael’s public and academic discourse at the time. The discussion revolved around a number of topics and issues, such as the birth of the Arab refugee question in the War of Independence and matters concerning the war itself. Another key element of the controversy involved the attitude of the Yishuv (the Jewish community in prestate Israel) and the Zionist move- ment toward the Holocaust. There were several parts to the question: what was the goal of the Yishuv and the Zionist leadership—to save the Jews who were perishing in smoldering Europe or to save Zionism? What was more important to Zionism—to add a new cowshed at Kib- butz ‘Ein Harod and purchase another dunam of land in the Negev or Galilee or the desperate attempt to douse the European inferno with a cup of water? What, in those bleak times, motivated the head of the or- ganized Yishuv, David Ben-Gurion: “Palestinocentrism,” and perhaps even loathing for diaspora Jewry, or the agonizing considerations of a leader in a period of crisis unprecedented in human history? These questions were not confined to World War II and the destruc- tion of European Jewry (1939–45) but extended back to the 1930s and forward to the postwar years.

  • An Annotated Bibliography of Basic Books on Zionism, Israel and the Arab-Israeli Conflict
    An Annotated Bibliography of Basic Books on Zionism, Israel and the Arab-Israeli Conflict If one wants to start from scratch or build on an already sophisticated knowledge base about Zionism, modern Israel, and the Arab-Israeli conflict, we believe that the list of books in English here have significant value. While the literature written on Israel, its Zionist origins, and the contemporary Arab-Israeli conflict is vast, this bibliography is a modest attempt to provide a few recommended books. Three simple criteria for a book’s inclusion in this list were used: books selected provide a unique insight or perspective while covering a particular historical period, topic, or turning point; a book’s content refrains from polemics; and the title includes a rich bibliography for anyone to read further. The books are listed in alphabetical order, not in order of excellence. The list was shaped by almost four decades of teaching at the college level and a dozen years of modestly helping teachers enrich their understanding of Zionism and Israel. As a modern historian, there is admitted bias in favor of titles that tend to include historical context. Elsewhere on the website one will find more specific topics covered in themes and an array of scholarly articles in college syllabi, most of which are not on-line but only accessible through libraries or other archives. Due to space and the objective of making the list relatively short, there are of course some omissions. We tried to make Zionism and Israel the independent variable, and thus there are few titles that focus on broader topics like anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, the British in the Middle East, U.S.

    NUMBER 120 THE WESTERN BORDERLANDS OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE, 1710-1870 Edward Thaden Colloquium Paper presented June 30, 1980, at Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies The Wilson Center THE WESTERN BORDERLANDS OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE, 1710-1870 I The Podolian cycle of Wlodzimierz Odojewski chronicles the futile efforts of two young noblemen in the extreme southeastern corner of interwar Poland to fight during 1943-44 for what they thought was the Polish cause. A P~lish trilogy on this theme, published in 1962, 1964, and 1973, reminds us of the fascination the borderlands, or kresy, have had for Poles and of the domination they and other non-native elites and rulers once exercised over a vast region stretching from the Gulf of Bothnia in the north to the Dniester River in the south and from the Baltic Sea in the west to the Dnieper in the east. Great Russians, Poles, Germans, and Swedes competed for the control of this area since the thirteenth century. In it the major religions of Europe--Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism--clashed. Its indigenous population consisted of Estonian, Finnish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Belorussian, Polish, and Ukrainian peasants, who were generally serfs or at least economically dependent on landowners alien to them in language and culture. Only in certain areas of Finland and P·oland did the peasants speak the language of the local nobility. Between 1710 and 1815 the Russian Empire annexed western borderlands that, in 1815, accounted for about one-fifth of the land area of European Russia exclusive of the Caucasus. From the very beginning Russian rulers and their officials wanted to bring this area closer to the rest of the empire, and under Catherine II and, again, under Nicholas I a concerted effort was made to introduce Russian laws, institutions, and language.

The Department of International Politics has granted me the E.H. Carr Award without which I could not have pursued the work on this thesis. The Department has also provided me with an intellectual environment and expertise that welcomed creativity and fostered critical spirit. Numerous discussions with members of the faculty, especially with Dr. Jenny Edkins, Prof. Steve Smith, and Prof. Mike Foley, have helped me refine and focus my ideas. I also wish to thank Prof. William D. Rubinstein from the Department of History for supplying me with articles and references relevant to my research and for spending his lunch hours to enlighten me on various other issues in modern history. My special gratitude and appreciation go to Yael and Rabbi Hillel Simon who never missed an occasion to further my Jewish knowledge and patiently answered my endless questions about Chassidism and Jewish mystical traditions.

  • About the Project
    Introduction About the Project This handbook is the fruit of the cooperation of a Polish-Czech-German team of re- searchers that has been working together for more than ten years. Starting on the in- itiative of Prof. em. Reinhard Ibler in May 2010, when specialists in Jewish literature, history, and culture from the universities of Giessen, Lodz, and Prague first met, the project has produced nine workshops and six publications to date. Researchers from Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan joined the project in 2015. Our group consists mainly of Slavicists and comparative literature researchers who decided to explore the East-Central European literatures about the Holocaust and persecution of Jews during World War II, first by a chronological approach and second in terms of aesthetics.1 Throughout our meetings, we noticed a gap between the literary production of the Slavonic countries where the Holocaust mainly took place and recognition of these works outside this community. We want to increase the visibility and show the versa- tility of these literatures in the academic representation of the Holocaust in the arts. Mainly émigré authors (like Jerzy Kosinski, for his Painted Bird, 1965) received interna- tional attention because there was no language barrier right from the beginning. The underrepresentation is clear from the numbers: the Reference Guide to Holocaust Lit- erature (Young, Riggs, 2002) presents 225 authors but only two of them were of Czech origin, three of Slovak. For Polish the situation looks slightly better: 23 authors. In Ho- locaust Literature. An Encyclopedia of Writers and Their Work (Kremer, 2003), out of 312 entries, we count 31 Polish, 3 Czech, and not a single Slovak entry.

  • Trip to Siberia
    Glaukopis, no. 4 (2006): 74-96. The Fate of the Siberian Exiles: On the methodology of studying ethnic cleansing in the Soviet-occupied Polish lands 1 In September 1939 Hitler and Stalin jointly invaded Poland. Having conquered the state, both dictators applied terror toward its citizens. The Nazis and the Communists aimed “to completely suppress the political and sociocultural life of the Polish people forever,” according to Tadeusz Piotrowski (p. 1).2 Members of the elite, Christians in particular, were exterminated (e.g., in Katyn3 and Palmiry). The population experienced a variety of repressive measures, including deportations. Tadeusz Piotrowski selected about a score of recollections by Polish Christians to illustrate Stalin’s “ethnic cleansing” campaign in the Eastern Borderlands between 1939 and 1941.4 Unlike the contemporary Polish accounts available at the Hoover Institution,5 most of these depositions were written well after the Second World War. Therefore they reveal not only the ghastly Gulag experience of the Polish deportees but also their post-Soviet travails. Many of the authors were children during their ghastly exile to the Soviet Union, which gives their recollections a special twist. Many of them refer to their experience as “the Siberian Gehenna.” Members of the broadly understood elite were targeted first, for example Mr. Borkowski who had been “chairman of a rural co-operative and commandant of an army [mounted] reserve called Krakus” near Rożyszcze (p. 20). Community leaders of all levels and kinds as well as their families were earmarked for arrest and deportation. In some instances the arrest of the victims was carried out in a calm and orderly manner.
