There Is No Return To Egypt
(2013)
Who are those Polish Jews, who in the wake of the Antizionist Campaign of the year 1968 left their home country and migrated to Israel? How do they, 40 years after these traumatic events, look back at their own history? Which development have they made in the Jewish State, a society torn by wars and inner political tensions? How do they live in Israel at the beginning of the 21st century? In the documentary There Is No Return To Egypt seven members of the Polish-Jewish migration cohort of the late 1960s, early 1970s and there todays environment are represented. These people, while being on camera in their mid-fifties till late seventies of age, allow an intimate view into their Israeli-Polish daily-life and into their world of memories. Interestingly, having survived the atrocities of the Shoah and being forced out of Poland some twenty years later, the older interviewees draw their very own conclusions for their further lives in Israel. In contrast, the younger interviewees deal very differently with the loss of their home and the break in their career life caused by the Antizionist Campaign. The personalities presented in this documentary have various professions: There is a successful musician, a former employee at the Israeli broadcasting service, and there are skilled workers. Their religious identities widely vary: from Jewish orthodox and national-religious to atheist to Judeo-Christian. The protagonists in There Is No Return To Egypt do also represent the political spectrum of Israel: from members of the chauvinist-militarist camp through to members of the peace movement. At the same time, the shooting locations in the documentary are important stages of life for the seven 1968ers: the home being decorated for Shabbat or for Israels national holiday Yom ha-atzmaut, the working place, an army museum, a Jewish settlement in the Palestinian Westbank, a Shoah memorial event at the university campus, a pop concert and a peace demonstration.
Das Handbuch umreißt das gesamte Spektrum der 2000jährigen Geschichte der Juden auf europäischem Boden. Wissenschaftler aus Europa und den USA haben ihre Forschungsergebnisse allgemein verständlich aufbereitet mit dem Ziel, das Leben und Wirken der Juden, aber auch die ihnen entgegengebrachte Intoleranz und deren Ursachen aufzuzeigen.
Der erste Teil konzentriert sich systematisch auf die Länder und Regionen, in denen Juden siedelten bzw. nach Vertreibungen aus anderen Staaten Aufnahme fanden. Es wird sowohl auf die innere Entwicklung der jüdischen Gemeinden als auch auf die Beziehungen zwischen Juden und der sie umgebenden andersgläubigen Gesellschaft eingegangen.
Der zweite Teil behandelt themenspezifische Schwerpunkte. Gemeindeleben und Religion, Familie und Stellung der Frau, kulturelle und geistige Entwicklung, aber auch Judenfeindschaft der sie umgebenden Gesellschaft – vom Antijudaismus bis zur Shoa und zum Antisemitismus der Gegenwart – werden in großangelegten Beiträgen dargelegt.
