IV ADVERTISEMENTS THE LORD BALTIMORE PRESS THE FRIEDENWALD COMPANY BALTIMORE, MD., U. S. A. PRINTERS LITHOGRAPHERS BOOKBINDERS The American Jewish Year Book 5660 September 5, 1899 TO September 23, 1900 Edited by CYRUS ADLER PHILADELPHIA THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1899 COPYRIGHT, 1899, BY THE JEWISH PUBLICATION SOCIETY OF AMERICA JSort <§&tiimovt (pttee THE FRIEDENWALD COMPANY BALTIMORE, MD., U. S. A. PEEFACE Everything must have a beginning, and the beginning is necessarily imperfect. Errors, no doubt, abound in this volume and omissions are numerous. It is natural that these failings will at once attract attention. Future issues can be made more accurate, and hence more serviceable, if readers will be good enough to send to the Editor notice of any omissions or errors which may come to their attention. It is hoped that the Calendar will be found convenient in form. The original intention was to supply information as to the hour of the commencement of the Sabbath, etc., but owing to the great extent of the country this was found impracticable. The spread of Jews all over our vast country seemed to make it desirable that a Directory should form the principal feature of this Year Book. The difficulties in compiling it were very great, arising partly from an inability to secure the names of minor organizations in large cities and of any organ- ization in small towns, partly from the unwillingness of the officers of some Congregations and Societies to fill out the blanks sent them. All information derived from unofficial sources is marked with a star (*); the remainder has been received from officials of the various organizations, and may be relied upon as authentic. X PKEFACE An almost infinite variety in the spelling of Hebrew names will be found in the Directory. For this the Editor is in no wise responsible. The only proper course seemed to be to employ the transliteration used by Congregations and Socie- ties themselves. It may be said, however, that this lack of uniformity has a certain value, since it exhibits in our midst most of the peculiarities of Hebrew pronunciation now in existence. A cursory examination of the Directory as well as of the list of Jewish Periodicals (for which but little time could be allowed the compiler) will, I think, convince the most pessi- mistic that Jewish ideals have a strong hold upon the Jews of the United States, especially in the direction of charitable and educational work. In placing this first issue of the American Jewish Year Book before the members of the Society I desire to express my heartiest thanks to those who have aided me—a list so long that the bare mention of names is impossible—and to ask kindly criticism of a work which had to be done hastily and amidst numerous exacting official duties.

Origins, Settlement and Heyday, 1430–1595 Jews resided in Salonika many centuries before the Turkic tribes first made their appearance on the borders of Western civilization, at the Islamic world’s frontier. In fact, Salonika was one of the cities in whose synagogue the apostle Paul had preached Jesus’ teachings. Like many other Jewish communities is this part of the Roman (and later the Byzantine) Empire, this had been a Greek-speaking community leading its life in much the same way as the Greek pagans, and later, the Christian city dwellers around them. The Ottoman conquest of Salonika in 1430 did little to change their lifestyle. A major upheaval did take place, however, with the Ottoman takeover of Constantinople in 1453. The Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II, the Conqueror (Fatih in Turkish), aimed to turn the former Byzantine capital into the hub of his Empire, a world power in its own right on a par with such earlier grand empires as the Roman and the Persian. To that effect, he ordered the transfer of entire populations— Muslims, Greeks, and Jews—from other parts of his empire to the new capital in order to rebuild and repopulate it.

  • Women Members of the Academies of Science - a Comparative Study with Special Consideration of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society from 1912 Until 1945
    Women Members of the Academies of Science - A comparative study with special consideration of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society from 1912 until 1945. Annette Vogt (Berlin)1 On June 20, 1948 the physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) wrote to her younger colleague Berta Karlik (1904-1990) in Vienna after her election - as its first woman - to the Austrian Academy of Science: "Liebe Kollegin Karlik, ... Wenn meine Wahl zum korrespondierenden Mitglied der Wienerakademie diese Möglichkeit auch für andere Frauen eröffnet, so macht sie mich doppelt froh. Ich habe mich über diese Auszeichnung aufrichtig gefreut, alles was ein Band mit Österreich knüpft, gibt mir ein inneres Heimatgefühl, das ich trotz aller Freundlichkeit der Schweden (ich bin z. B. Mitglied aller 4 skandinavischen Akademien) hier nicht bekommen kann, weil ich zu alt war, als ich hierher kam, um mich ganz einzuleben."2 Lise Meitner was one of the most exceptional women scientists in the 20th century and belonged - mostly as their first woman member - (as Scientific 1 Lecture (17.6.00) on the International conference "The work of science", Berlin- Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW), Berlin, 15.-17.6.2000. Thanks to Emma Spary (Cambridge) from the MPI for History of Science for her kindness to correcting my English. 2 Lise Meitner to Berta Karlik, 20.6.1948, in: Cambridge, Churchill College Archives, Meitner-Papers, MTNR 5/10, folder 2, Bl.11. ("Dear colleague Karlik, ... If my election as a corresponding member of the Academie in Vienna will open this possibility for other women scientists too then I would be doubly happy. I was delighted with this honor, every relation to Austria gives me a home feeling which I haven't here in spite of the kindness of the Swedes (for example I'm a member of all 4 Scandinavian Academies of Science), because I was too old when I came here to settle down completely.") Berta Karlik followed Lise Meitner indeed, becoming a corresponding member in 1954 and a full member in 1973 at the ÖAW in Vienna.

D. •Nmh f orft THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1917 Ail rights reserved COPYRIGHT, 1917 BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Set up and electrotyped. Published May, 1917. TO MAX SENIOR PREFACE > This book is an attempt to meet the demand on the? part of those who are engaged or are interested in Jewish social service, for a statement of the principles evolved through the experience of the last two decades in various philanthropic efforts of the Jews of this country. It is primarily a compilation of the different ideas expressed by the leaders of the movements on various occasions, as well as a presentation of the actual practical experiences that were met in the dif- ferent lines of philanthropic activity. It is intended to serve as a text-book for beginners, and as a ready résumé for those who are already engaged in the field. No claim for scientific treatment of the subjects is made, but it is hoped that as a first attempt in this direction it may serve as an impetus toward clarifying the indefinite views in vogue at present among Jewish social workers of the country and help beginners to orient themselves in the perplexing problems of Jewish social service. The book is practically a revision of a course of lec- tures on Jewish philanthropy given for the last 6 years at the Hebrew Union College of Cincinnati, Ohio.The leading Jewish social workers of the country should be given credit for their co-operation in reading the manu- script and making emendations and corrections with- vii viii PREFACE out which this book would lose considerable part of its value.

  • The Survivor's Hunt for Nazi Fugitives in Brazil: The
    THE SURVIVOR’S HUNT FOR NAZI FUGITIVES IN BRAZIL: THE CASES OF FRANZ STANGL AND GUSTAV WAGNER IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE by Kyle Leland McLain A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2016 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Heather Perry ______________________________ Dr. Jürgen Buchenau ______________________________ Dr. John Cox ii ©2016 Kyle Leland McLain ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT KYLE LELAND MCLAIN. The survivor’s hunt for Nazi fugitives in Brazil: the cases of Franz Stangl and Gustav Wagner in the context of international justice (Under the direction of DR. HEATHER PERRY) On April 23, 1978, Brazilian authorities arrested Gustav Wagner, a former Nazi internationally wanted for his crimes committed during the Holocaust. Despite a confirming witness and petitions from West Germany, Israel, Poland and Austria, the Brazilian Supreme Court blocked Wagner’s extradition and released him in 1979. Earlier in 1967, Brazil extradited Wagner’s former commanding officer, Franz Stangl, who stood trial in West Germany, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. These two particular cases present a paradox in the international hunt to bring Nazi war criminals to justice. They both had almost identical experiences during the war and their escape, yet opposite outcomes once arrested. Trials against war criminals, particularly in West Germany, yielded some successes, but many resulted in acquittals or light sentences. Some Jewish survivors sought extrajudicial means to see that Holocaust perpetrators received their due justice. Some resorted to violence, such as vigilante justice carried out by “Jewish vengeance squads.” In other cases, private survivor and Jewish organizations collaborated to acquire information, lobby diplomatic representatives and draw public attention to the fact that many Nazi war criminals were still at large.

  • Religious Liberty (1876) and the Nineteenth‐Century Jewish American Experience 1 Samantha Baskind
    A Companion to Nineteenth‐Century Art WILEY BLACKWELL COMPANIONS TO ART HISTORY These invigorating reference volumes chart the influence of key ideas, discourses, and theories on art, and the way that it is taught, thought of, and talked about throughout the English‐speaking world. Each volume brings together a team of respected international scholars to debate the state of research within traditional subfields of art history as well as in more innovative, thematic configurations. Representing the best of the scholarship governing the field and pointing toward future trends and across disciplines, the Blackwell Companions to Art History series provides a magisterial, state‐of‐the‐art synthesis of art history. 1 A Companion to Contemporary Art since 1945, edited by Amelia Jones 2 A Companion to Medieval Art, edited by Conrad Rudolph 3 A Companion to Asian Art and Architecture, edited by Rebecca M.
