Theodor Lessing was a German-Jewish philosopher, Zionist, Communist and member of the Prager Kreis. He wrote psychological studies of Judaism and influenced with his main philosophical works Geschichte als Sinngebung des Sinnlosen (1919) and Europa und Asien (1918, and 1924) the German speaking scholars and contemporaries in Germany and elsewhere. He was killed by the Nazis in 1933 as one of the first victims of National Socialism.
This article discusses the so-called 'Apocalypse' of Carour, a text preserved in a Codex (M586) of the famous Hamuli-find, that originally emanated from the environment of the Pachomian monastic enterprise. It addresses a series of disasters and communal deficiencies through metaphorical imagery and similes that struck the community after the death of its founding father Pachomios. After presenting a few conjectures to the editio princeps and providing a German translation, the 'Apocalypse' is contextualized within the historical and liturgical background of this late antique monastic community. The author asserts that this unique text not only displays the symptoms of disaster, but also gives us new insights into how the Pachomians productively coped with crises. In contrast to modern scholarship, the author argues that the 'Apocalypse' is in fact a prophecy (ex eventu) that was based on an instruction, which was publicly read at the large Easter assembly of the Pachomians, most likely by Horsiesos, the third abbot of the Koinonia. Using the figure of the frog, C(h)arour, to symbolize the biblical plague but also the Egyptian concept of rebirth, the instruction was intended to strengthen group cohesion and especially to prepare the novices that were about to receive their baptism during the Easter celebration for a life devoted to the Koinonia and its principles. To this initial prophecy, which developed an antithesis to the ideal monastic life envisioned by the Pachomians, another text was later added that narrated an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Apa Besarion, the fifth abbot of the Koinonia. In a much more practical manner this second part of the prophecy elaborated on the same themes while also displaying the resilience of the community in averting crises through remembering and recommitting to its founding precepts. The convoluted text we possess now should therefore be equally viewed as a testament to the communication structures of the Pachomians as well as their memorial culture, which targeted moments of crisis and despair to imbue future generations with the necessary persistence to overcome possible disasters themselves and secure the long-term existence of the Koinonia.
In den Jahren 1930 und 1931 erschütterten zwei Revolten des SA-Führers Walter Stennes die im Dauerwahlkampf stehende NS-Bewegung. Die schnelle Niederschlagung beider Parteikrisen reklamierte die ostdeutsche Schutzstaffel unter Kurt Daluege für sich und verbreitete die Erzählung, Hitler habe die aufstrebende SS mit dem Leitspruch „Meine Ehre heißt Treue“ ausgezeichnet, um ihr für den aufopferungsvollen Einsatz gegen die Rebellen zu danken. Sascha Steger stellt dieses bis heute wirkmächtige Narrativ auf den Prüfstand, analysiert den tatsächlichen Verlauf der Stennes-Revolten und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die SS unter Daluege zwar treu zum „Führer“ stand, aber keine entscheidende Rolle bei der Beendigung der Auseinandersetzung spielte.
