  • The Lives of the Jews of Horažd'ovice
    The lives of the Jews of Horažd’ovice In Memoriam WESTMINSTER SYNAGOGUE Our community’s visit to Horažďovice confirmed that no brutality or oppression can ever destroy the spirit of humanity. #e inhabitants of that little town not only showed us their respect and love for those who were so cruelly taken from their midst but also that no amount of fear placed into people’s minds and hearts whether it was through fascism or communism can destroy the spark of godly spirit implanted within us. #e preservation of the Horažďovice scroll and the scrolls from other Czech cities is a reminder of our duty to foster their memories both within the Jewish community and outside, to pass it on to our children and to future generations, forming a chain strong enough to always overcome. It also tells us how important it is to respect one another and not allow prejudice to rear its ugly head. #ere has to be tolerance and understanding and our role here, with our friends in Horažďovice and with the world at large, is to ensure that this never ever should happen again. We must be vigilant and never remain silent in the face of danger or where truth is at stake. We owe this duty to all those who have perished in the horrors of the Holocaust and also to those who today, in different parts of the World, suffer because they are seemingly different. Humanity is only one, just as there is One God whose watchword we say twice a day, Hear O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is One.

  • Newsletter 2/3 2013
    ŽIDOVSKÉ MUZEUM V PRAZE Newsletter 2/3 2013 EXHIBITIONS AT THE ROBERT GUTTMANN GALLERY Symbols of Emancipation – Nineteenth-Century Synagogues in the Czech Lands The exhibition Symbols of Emancipation – Nineteenth-Century Synagogues in the Czech Lands was on view at our Robert Guttmann Gallery until 4 August (for more information about the exhibition, see Newsletter 1/2013). Focusing on the stories behind more than two dozen synagogues in Bohemia and Moravia, this show traced the development of Jewish communities in the period when the Jewish population became an important part of the economic, cultural and social life of the Czech lands. It was seen by more than 7,500 separately paying visitors. Truth and Lies: Filming in the Ghetto Terezín, 1942–1945 The exhibition Truth and Lies: Filming in the Ghetto Terezín, 1942–1945 has been on view at our gallery since 29 August. This show – prepared in collaboration with the National Film Archive in Prague – charts the history behind the making of propaganda films about the Terezín ghetto on the basis of the latest findings. The first film, Ghetto Theresienstadt, was made in the autumn of 1942. A fictional story about the Holländer family, its purpose was to depict the transfer of people of Jewish origin to the ghetto. The film was shot and documented by a professional camera crew from Berlin, and a group of prisoners under the film producer and director Irena Dodalová were ordered to take part in the filming. The film had to be rewritten but was never actually completed. An increasing amount of reports were reaching the public about atrocities committed against European Jews at the time.

  • Historiography on the Jews of the Bohemian Lands in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries*
    Studia Judaica 19 (2016), nr 1 (37), s. 41–64 doi:10.4467/24500100STJ.16.002.5348 Ines Koeltzsch Modernity, Identity, and Beyond: Historiography on the Jews of the Bohemian Lands in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries* Abstract: The author discusses the main developments in the historiography on the Jews of the Bohemian Lands in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which has expanded considerably since the 1980s. The historiographical debates have been focused mainly on conceptions of modernization/modernity and iden- tity/loyalty and are characterized by a desire to avoid linear and homogeneous ascriptions. Nevertheless, a number of gaps still exist in the research. So far, the Jewish history of the Bohemian Lands has been focused mainly on its cen- ter, Prague, and lacks distinct studies in comparative history, the history of cul- tural transfer and/or entangled history. These analytical restrictions need to be overcome in order to achieve a more succinct contextualization within modern European Jewish history. Keywords: historiography, Jews, Bohemian Lands, modernity, identity, center, periphery, Czechoslovakia. In the atmosphere of Czechoslovak cultural liberalization in 1967, the medievalist František Graus raised one of the key questions of Jewish history: “Were the Jews in the past a nation, a group with a clearly defined economic function, a Schicksalsgemeinschaft [a community bound together by a common fate], or a religion?” To which he proposed the answer: “They were a little bit of all of these and yet none of the above—they * Research on this article was enabled by my postdoc project at the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences (research scheme: RVO 67985921) and by my fellowship at the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies in 2014/15.

  • Bank of Israel
    BANK OF ISRAEL The Government and Finance Committee of the Knesset Jerusalem In accordance with sections 59 and 60 of the Bank of Israel Law, 5714­1954, I respectfully submit herewith the Annual Report of the Bank of Israel for the year 1975. The Report is based on material prepared by the Research Department of the Bank. Most of the statistical data in Parts One and Two were supplied by the Central Bureau of Statistics. Some of the statistical information on which the 1974 Report and the 1976 National Budget were based was recently revised, and consequently some of the data in this Report have also been revised, with the changes being of more than a mere technical nature. As in the two preceding years, developments in 1975 were not even. There were sharp fluctuations in the level of economic activity and in several major economic variables. This was due partly to exogenous factors, especially the slump and subsequent recovery of world trade, and partly to deliberate government policy and the public's response to the measures introduced. In 1975 the economy had to grapple with the balance of payments problem, which occupies a prominent place in this Report. The main conclusion emerging from an analysis of developments in 1975 is that the positive results of the government's action­the curbing of private consumption, a slight contraction of the real import surplus, and some weakening of inf lation­­were far from adequate, given the dimensions and gravity of the balance of payments situation. The crucial question facing the economy remains the checking of import growth, and even more, the rapid expansion of exports.

  • JEWISH HERITAGE SITES in South Bohemia
    JEWISH HERITAGE SITES in South Bohemia www.jiznicechy.cz JEWISH HERITAGE SITES in South Bohemia There used to be several hundred Jewish communi- ties in Bohemia, each of which had a synagogue or at least a prayer house or room, and a Jewish cemetery. Several dozen such communities existed in South Bohemia as well, but today not a single one remains. Most of their members died during World War II in concentration and extermination camps, whereas many of those who survived emigrated after 1948 or 1968. The South Bohemian Region also falls under the jurisdiction of the Jewish community in Prague, which also manages all Jewish cemeteries and several other preserved South Bohemian Jewish heritage sites. Another problem was that in the second half of the 19th century, many Jews migrated from the villages to the cities. Many rural Jewish communities became extinct and many synagogues were abandoned, some were sold to private individuals and modified for other purposes, and others were purchased by Christian church organizations. Since the Velvet Revolution, some of these have been reconstructed and now serve as museums; in South Bohemia, for example, these are the synagogues in Bechyně, Český Krumlov, and Čkyně. Of the fifty South Bohemian Jewish cemeteries, the rarely preserved Jewish cemetery in Jindřichův Hradec deserves particular attention; it is one of the oldest preserved Jewish cemeteries in the Czech Republic. JEWISH HERITAGE SITES in South Bohemia JEWISH HERITAGE SITES in South Bohemia 1 Babčice 2 Bechyně According to written sources, Jews lived in Babčice from the middle Written sources show that Jews were in Bechyně from the second half of the 18th century at the latest.

  • A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources
    A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources Report of the Planning Committee, Conference On Jewish Material Claims Against Germany June 28, 2000 25 Sivan 5760 1 Rabbi Israel Miller, President, Conference On Jewish Material Claims Against Germany 15 East 26 Street New York, New York Dear Israel, I am pleased to enclose A Plan for Allocating Successor Organization Resources, the report of the distinguished Planning Committee which I have had the honor of chairing. The Committee has completed a thoughtful ten-month process, carefully reviewing the issues and exploring a variety of options before coming to the conclusions contained in this document. We trust that you will bring these recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Claims Conference for review and action. Through this experience, I have become convinced that the work of the Claims Conference is not adequately understood or appreciated. I hope that this report and the results of this planning process will help dispel the confusion about the past and future achievements of the Claims Conference. No amount of money can compensate for the destruction of innocent human beings and thriving communities or the decimation of the Jewish people as a whole by the Nazis. We can try to use available resources - specifically the proceeds of the sale of communal and unclaimed property in the former East Germany - to respond to the most critical needs related to the consequences of the Shoah. This is what the enclosed Plan tries to accomplish. I want to thank the members of the Committee who came from near and far for their attendance and commitment, and for the high quality of their participation.

  • A Disability Legal Studies Analysis of Privilege and Neglect in Israeli Disability Policy
    Between Charity, Welfare, and Warfare: A Disability Legal Studies Analysis of Privilege and Neglect in Israeli Disability Policy Sagit Mor* "Hidden and disregarded for too long, we are demanding not only rights and equal opportunity, but are demanding that the academy take on the nettlesome question of why we've been sequestered in the first place."' INTRODUCTION Throughout the last century, the modem welfare state has been widely considered a major source of rescue and relief for people with disabilities. By providing mechanisms of cure and care, so the common view goes, the welfare state has improved the social conditions of disabled people, rescuing them from a life of starvation and severe destitution. In this view, welfare provides a refuge, while the real responsibility for the persistent poverty of disabled people lies primarily with the structure of the market economy, with the existence of negative social attitudes, and with disability's "objective" and inherent limitations. In this Article, I challenge this view, arguing that although welfare has indeed provided some relief to people with disabilities, welfare laws and policies have also had a significant role in developing, furthering, and * LL.B., Tel Aviv University.
