Als er 1945 in New York seinen amerikanischen Verlag ins Leben rief, k{\"u}ndigte er ihn mit folgenden Worten an: Schocken ignorierte damit die Arbeit der zahlreichen bestehenden amerikanisch-j{\"u}dischen Verlagsh{\"a}user, da diese seiner Meinung nach nicht die Aufgabe erf{\"u}llten, die ihm vorschwebte: die R{\"u}ckf{\"u}hrung traditionsferner und damit in ihrer Identit{\"a}t unsicherer Juden durch Auseinandersetzung mit ihrem kulturellen Erbe. Dieses Ziel hatte bereits das Programm des Berliner Schocken Verlags (1931- 1938) bestimmt, der die vom Gr{\"u}nder genannten „repr{\"a}sentative[n] Kostproben des Judentums" ver{\"o}ffentlicht und damit zur „j{\"u}dischen Kulturrenaissance" der 1930er Jahre beigetragen hatte.² Auch nach seiner Emigration nach Pal{\"a}stina 1934 blieb Schocken einer deutsch-j{\"u}dischen Wissenskultur zeitlebens verhaftet. Mit seiner verlegerischen Arbeit in den USA wollte Schocken das Programm seines Berliner Verlags f{\"u}r das amerikanische Nachkriegsjudentum neu auflegen, da sich dieses - seiner Meinung nach - in einer {\"a}hnlichen geistigen Situation befand wie das deutsche Judentum der Weimarer Republik. Entsprechend verk{\"u}ndete er 1945 in einer Rede in Jerusalem: „Sie wissen, dass ich jetzt daran arbeite, den Schockenverlag in Amerika zu machen. Das ist eine Imitation des deutschen Verlages. [...] Entfernungen existieren nicht mehr und Einfluss von hier nach dort und dort nach hier ist nicht mehr zu {\"u}bersehen."³ In diesen Aussagen klingen bereits verschiedene Schl{\"u}sselthemen der Rolle von Schocken Books New York an, dessen Geschichte bisher nur ansatzweise erforscht ist: Der Bezug auf Schockens Erfahrungen in Deutschland und das davon gepr{\"a}gte kulturpolitische Programm, das Kontinuit{\"a}ten zwischen zwei r{\"a}umlich und zeitlich fundamental getrennten j{\"u}dischen Gemeinschaften postulierte und auf einen transnationalen Kanon j{\"u}dischen Wissens zielte. Schocken wirkte mit seinen Verlagen, die er in Deutschland, Pal{\"a}stina/Israel und den USA gr{\"u}ndete, nicht nur an drei Schl{\"u}sselorten der j{\"u}dischen Moderne. Sein Verlagsprogramm stand zudem im Kontext eines Schl{\"u}sselprozesses j{\"u}discher Modernisierung: der Transformation traditionell-religi{\"o}sen Wissens in posttraditionell-kulturelle Formen. Dieser Beitrag stellt anhand von Quellen aus dem Verlagsarchiv, der Nachl{\"a}sse von Schockens Lektoren in den USA und der Rezeption von Schocken Books in den USA den Verlagsgr{\"u}nder Salman Schocken und die beiden Verlage in Berlin und New York vor. Im Zentrum der Analyse stehen die transnationale Verflechtung der Verlagsh{\"a}user und die Frage nach dem in den Publikationsprogrammen angestrebten transnationalen Kanon j{\"u}dischen Wissens in der Moderne.}, language = {de} } @article{Krah2021, author = {Krah, Markus}, title = {Berlin - Jerusalem - New York}, series = {J{\"u}dische Geschichte \& Kultur : Magazin des Dubnow-Instituts}, journal = {J{\"u}dische Geschichte \& Kultur : Magazin des Dubnow-Instituts}, publisher = {Metropol}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-86331-604-4}, issn = {2567-8469}, pages = {16 -- 19}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @article{Krah2021, author = {Krah, Markus}, title = {Exporting Jewish Ideas from Germany (via Palestine) to America}, series = {PaRDeS : Journal of the Association for Jewish Studies in Germany}, journal = {PaRDeS : Journal of the Association for Jewish Studies in Germany}, number = {27}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-520-0}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-53304}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-533049}, pages = {101 -- 115}, year = {2021}, abstract = {When he founded Schocken Books in 1945, department store magnate, philanthropist, and publisher Salman Schocken (1877-1959) called his new American publishing business an imitation of its German predecessor, which had functioned from 1931 until 1938. He intended it to replicate the success of the Berlin Schocken Verlag by spiritually fortifying a Jewish community uncertain in its identity. The new company reflected the transnational transfer of people, ideas, and texts between Germany, Palestine/Israel, and the United States. Its success and near-failure raise questions about transnationalism and American Jewish culture: Can a culture be imposed on a population which has its own organs and agencies of cultural production? Had American Jewish culture developed organically to the specific place where several million Jews found themselves and according to uniquely American cultural patterns?

As a field of inquiry, its place is at the intersection - or in the shadow - of the great topics in Jewish Studies and its contributing disciplines. Among them are the modernization and privatization of Judaism and Jewish life; integration and distinctiveness of Jews as individuals and as a group; gender roles and education. These and related questions have been the focus of modern Jewish family research, which took shape as a discipline in the 1910s. This issue of PaRDeS traces the origins of academic Jewish family research and takes stock of its development over a century, with its ruptures that have added to the importance of familial roots and continuities. A special section retrieves the founder of the field, Arthur Czellitzer (1871-1943), his biography and work from oblivion and places him in the context of early 20th-century science and Jewish life. The articles on current questions of Jewish family history reflect the topic's potential for shedding new light on key questions in Jewish Studies past and present. Their thematic range - from 13th-century Yiddish Arthurian romances via family-based business practices in 19th-century Hungary and Germany, to concepts of Jewish parenthood in Imperial Russia - illustrates the broad interest in Jewish family research as a paradigm for early modern and modern Jewish Studies.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Krah2020, author = {Krah, Markus}, title = {The Americanization of Simon Dubnow}, series = {Dubnow Institute Yearbook}, volume = {XVII}, booktitle = {Dubnow Institute Yearbook}, publisher = {Vandenhoeck \& Ruprecht}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, isbn = {978-3-525-37080-3}, pages = {539 -- 568}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{ThulinKrah2020, author = {Thulin, Mirjam and Krah, Markus}, title = {The history of Jewish families in early modern and modern times}, series = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien = Transformative Translations in Jewish History and Culture}, volume = {2020}, journal = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien = Transformative Translations in Jewish History and Culture}, number = {26}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-493-7}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-48529}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-485297}, pages = {13 -- 23}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @misc{KrahThulinFaiersteinetal.2019, author = {Krah, Markus and Thulin, Mirjam and Faierstein, Morris M. and Drori, Danielle and Coors, Maria and Schramm, Netta and Driver, Cory and Holzman, Gitit and Zuckermann, Ghil'ad and Fishbane, Eitan P. and Gruenbaum, Caroline and Schirrmeister, Sebastian and Ferrari, Francesco and Stemberger, G{\"u}nter and Schm{\"o}lz-H{\"a}berlein, Michaela and M{\"u}ller, Judith and Schulz, Michael Karl and Meyer, Thomas and Artwińska, Anna and Walter, Simon}, title = {PaRDeS : Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien = Transformative Translations in Jewish History and Culture}, number = {25}, editor = {Krah, Markus and Thulin, Mirjam and Pick, Bianca}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-468-5}, issn = {1614-6492}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43262}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-432621}, pages = {198}, year = {2019}, abstract = {PaRDeS, die Zeitschrift der Vereinigung f{\"u}r J{\"u}dische Studien e. V., erforscht die fruchtbare kulturelle Vielfalt des Judentums sowie ihre Ber{\"u}hrungspunkte zur nichtj{\"u}dischen Umwelt in unterschiedlichen Bereichen.
