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{Schuster2017, author = {Schuster, Dirk}, title = {European Culture and its Eastern Borders}, series = {Osteuropa}, volume = {67}, journal = {Osteuropa}, number = {1-2}, publisher = {Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0030-6428}, pages = {121 -- 130}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Hans Heinrich Schaeder is considered an important Iranist and historian of religion. For reasons of opportunism, careerism, and anti-Semitic resentment, he used the chance afforded him after the National Socialists seized power in Germany: he combined his historical and philological knowledge with National-Socialist racial ideology. Drawing on the superiority of "Aryanism" he derived from this merger, Schaeder tried to redefine the "Eastern Borders" of "European Culture". In his concept, Armenians and Persians became integral elements of European culture and history, while Jews and "Semites" were excluded. In academia, publishing, and politics, he put himself at the service of the National-Socialist regime. In his own view, this served the struggle against Communism and the West's social system.
