This article focuses on the period between 1980's and 2000's, complementing earlier studies that focused on the emergence of the term "Ostjuden" and on the complex representations of Eastern European Jews in Imperial and later Weimar Germany. It shows that, despite its well-evidenced discriminatory history, the term "Ostjuden" re-appeared in the scholarly writing in German and has also found its way into German-speaking public history and journalism. This article calls for applying the adjectival term "osteuropaische Juden" (Eastern European Jews), using a term that neither essentializes Eastern European Jews nor presents them in an oversimplified and uniform manner.}, language = {en} } @article{StillmarkKrueger2017, author = {Stillmark, Hans-Christian and Kr{\"u}ger, Brigitte}, title = {Dekonstruktion von K{\"u}nstlermythen}, series = {Mythos No. 4 : Philologische Mythosforschung = Mythos : f{\"a}cher{\"u}bergreifendes Forum f{\"u}r Mythosforschung}, volume = {4}, journal = {Mythos No. 4 : Philologische Mythosforschung = Mythos : f{\"a}cher{\"u}bergreifendes Forum f{\"u}r Mythosforschung}, publisher = {K{\"o}nigshausen \& Neumann}, address = {W{\"u}rzburg}, isbn = {978-3-8260-5955-1}, pages = {78 -- 98}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @article{Krah2017, author = {Krah, Markus}, title = {Further foward thriugh the past}, series = {Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies}, volume = {35}, journal = {Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies}, publisher = {Purdue University Press}, address = {West Lafayette}, issn = {0882-8539}, doi = {10.1353/sho.2017.0027}, pages = {111 -- 131}, year = {2017}, abstract = {From the 1940s well into the 1960s, a new sociocultural constellation let American Jews redefine their relationship to the religious tradition. This article analyzes the response of a religious elite of rabbis and intellectuals to this process, which was driven by various factors. Many American Jews were at least one generation away from traditional Judaism, which seemed out of place in postwar America. Liberal Judaism, with its narrow concept of religion, on the other hand, while fitting a larger social consensus, did not satiate many Jews' spiritual and identity needs. Sensing this deficit, rabbis and other religious thinkers explored broader concepts of Judaism. Religious journals that sprang up in the postwar decades served as vehicles for the attempt to understand Judaism in broader, cultural terms, while preserving a religious core. The article shows how in this search religious thinkers turned to the Eastern European past as a resource. As other groups similarly tried to mine this past for the sake of their present agendas, its reconstruction became a key process in the transformation of postwar American Judaism and its relationship to the tradition.}, language = {en} } @article{Kay2019, author = {Kay, Alex J.}, title = {Speaking the Unspeakable}, series = {Holocaust Studies: A Journal of Culture and History}, volume = {27}, journal = {Holocaust Studies: A Journal of Culture and History}, number = {2}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {Abingdon, Oxon}, doi = {10.1080/17504902.2019.1637492}, pages = {187 -- 200}, year = {2019}, abstract = {This article discusses the filmic representation of the infamous Wannsee Conference, when fifteen senior German officials met at a villa on the shore of a Berlin lake to discuss and co-ordinate the implementation of the so-called final solution to the Jewish question.

The article sets out to answer the principal challenge facing anyone attempting to recreate the Wannsee Conference on film: what was the atmosphere of this conference and the attitude of the participants? Moreover, it discusses various ethical aspects related to the portrayal of evil, not in actions but in words, using the medium of film.

This will be discussed while focusing on the urban intelligentsia circles in Lemberg (Lviv), which had a tremendous influence on some Galician Jewish intellectuals during that period. I will analyze the nature of a clash of identities that eventually brought some of the urban intelligentsia in Lemberg to consider themselves as living a "Spiritual" or "linguistic exile"(Sprachexil), regardless of whether they had migrated or not. Longing for the homeland as a nostalgic destination, whether they referred to it as Heimat or Ojczyzna, and whether they called it Lemberg or Lwow, was longing to be part of a group holding a distinct Kultur or Kultura, a set of values, culture and language, which coexisted with their Jewish identity.}, language = {en} } @article{SingerBrehm2023, author = {Singer-Brehm, Elisabeth}, title = {‚Maise Jeschurun'}, series = {Genisa-Bl{\"a}tter IV}, journal = {Genisa-Bl{\"a}tter IV}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-539-2}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-58493}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-584932}, pages = {129 -- 157}, year = {2023}, language = {de} }
