  • ~Emernbering Sepharad
    RE YE S C O LL-TELLECHEA ~e mernbering Sepharad Accompanying Christopher Columbus on board the Sal/ta Marfa as it left the Iberia n Pe ni ns ula on August 3,1492, was Luis de Torres. De Torres, a polyglot , was the expedition's inkrpreter. Like many other Iberian JeWS , de Torres had recently converted to Christianity in an attempt to preserve his right to live in Sepharad, the land Iberian Jevvs had inhabited for twelve hundred years. The Edict of Expulsion, dated March 31, 1492, deprived Jews of all their rights and gave them three months to put their affairs in order and go in to exile. Implicit in the edict was exemption if jews con­ verted to Ch ristianity. It was only implicit, of courSe, becaLlse neither the laws of th e land nor the laws of the Catholic church provided for forced conversion. Although conversos would be granted full rights of citizen­ ship, the Inquisition, in turn, had the right to investigate and persecute the "new" Ch rist ians in order to prevent deviations from church doctrine. Those who did not accept conversion would be expelled from the land forever. The fate of Sepharad was irreversible. Now We can only remember Sepharad. Remembrance cannOt restore that which has been lost, but it is essen­ tiul to recognize the limitless power of human action to create as well as to destroy. Memory is not a maner of the past but a fundamental tool for analyzin g the prese nt and marching into the future with knowledge and conscience.

Like a Cautious Woman: Joyce’s “Eveline,” Immigration, and the Zwi Migdal in Argentina in the Early 1900s Laura Barberan Reinares Bronx Community College of the City University of New York n his 1972 essay “Molly’s Masterstroke,” Hugh Kenner challenges Ithe “conventional and superficial” readings of “Eveline” that suggest this (anti)heroine remains paralyzed in the end, unable to embrace a promising future with Frank in Buenos Aires.1 Katherine Mullin, for her part, presents compelling evidence on the discourses of white-slave trafficking circulating in Europe around the time Joyce was writing and revising “Eveline” for publication.2 In this note, I will provide further key facts supporting Kenner’s and Mullin’s read- ing of the story, since a historical look at the circumstances of Frank’s tales further reinforces questions about the sailor’s honesty. “Eveline” was first published in The Irish Homestead on 10 September 1904. One month later, on 8 October, Joyce moved to Pola for a brief period and later to Trieste, where he began his permanent exile.

  • White Slavery and Jews
    1 White Slavery and Jews White Slave by Mary Abastenia St. Leger Eberle -1913 In memory of Sophia Chamys By Jerry Klinger Anti-Semitism’s heel ground harder, unrelenting, crushing, murderous and vicious. Jewish life, the worth of Jewish life, in Poland and Russia, plunged into degeneration. Zionism, Max Nordau knew, was the path to regeneration.” Judith Rice "Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion] could not imagine that Jewish women would stoop to crime or prostitution. Meyer Weisgal, a close associate, who resembled David Ben-Gurion, humorously quipped, a girl walked up to him on a London street and offered her services, overwhelmed by the idea of sleeping with the 'Israeli prime minister.' Ben-Gurion, clearly troubled, was interested in only one thing: 'Was she Jewish?” 2 “What is worse… ten times worse… no a hundred times worse? If sexual immorality becomes accepted, the strong will exploit the weak… God will send a new flood. It will be his tears, raining from the sky. Rabbi Zusia Friedberg – Baltimore, Md. 1895 My mother told me about him. Salomon Gomberg was a hero. The Nazis did not think of him that way. The Jews did. In the winter of 1943, the Nazis ordered him to come to Gestapo headquarters in Pietrokow Trybunalski. He stood at attention outside the building. They removed his overcoat, his shoes. The biting cold snow and sleet whirled in mini-cyclones. The Nazis poured buckets of ice water over his clothes, soaking them. Quickly the wet clothing turned to ice. He stood outside the Gestapo headquarters the entire night, shivering violently.
