Mediene Remnants
This inventory provides a survey of the extant Yiddish sources in Dutch archives and collections outside of Amsterdam. Until now, an overview and quantitative summary of the available Yiddish sources in The Netherlands was lacking. The compilation represents only a modest beginning, for the amount of material that has survived is enormous. An inventory relating to the Jewish community of Amsterdam requires a separate volume. The present inventory aims to stimulate new research-projects on the history of Ashkenazi Jewry in the Netherlands and to facilitate the research of the west-Yiddish speech variant that was spoken by the Ashkenazi Jews in The Netherlands.
Brody: A Galician Border City in the Long Nineteenth Century
An urban biography, Brody: A Galician Border City in the Long Nineteenth Century reconciles 150 years of the town’s socioeconomic history with its cultural memory. The first comprehensive study of this city under Habsburg-Austrian rule, Börries Kuzmany advises against reading urban history solely through the national lens. Besides exploring Brody’s extraordinary ethno-confessional structure—Jews, Poles, and Ukrainians—Kuzmany examines the interrelation between the city’s geographical location at the imperial border, its standing as a key commercial hub in East-Central Europe, and its position as a major springboard for the dissemination of the Haskalah in Galicia and the Russian Empire. After delving into the contradictory perceptions of Brody in travelogues, fiction and memory books, Kuzmany uses contemporary and historical photographs to provide an illustrated walking tour of this now Ukrainian town.
Rediscovering Traces of Memory
This much-updated edition of a ground-breaking book expands the broad coverage of its stimulating approach. With forty-five new photographs and accompanying essays, it convincingly demonstrates the complexity of the Jewish past in Polish Galicia and the attempts to memorialize its heritage, as well as the unexpected revival of Jewish life.
The Religious Cultures of Dutch Jewry
In The Religious Cultures of Dutch Jewry an international group of scholars examines aspects of religious belief and practice of pre-emancipation Sephardim and Ashkenazim in Amsterdam, Curaçao and Surinam, ceremonial dimensions, artistic representations of religious life, and religious life after the Shoa. The origins of Dutch Jewry trace back to diverse locations and ancestries: Marranos from Spain and Portugal and Ashkenazi refugees from Germany, Poland and Lithuania. In the new setting and with the passing of time and developments in Dutch society at large, the religious life of Dutch Jews took on new forms. Dutch Jewish society was thus a microcosm of essential changes in Jewish history.
Between Jewish Tradition and Modernity
Bringing together leading Jewish historians, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers and liturgists, Between Jewish Tradition and Modernity offers a collective view of a historically and culturally significant issue that will be of interest to Jewish scholars of many disciplines.
Jiddische Handschriften der Niederlande
Jiddische Handschriften der Niederlande includes descriptions of 105 Yiddish manuscripts originating mostly in the 18th and 19th century. They reflect Ashkenazic culture of the Northern Netherlands, the Yiddish dialect of this area and the influences of Dutch and German in that culture. After 1815 the use of Dutch as the common language is obvious, but there are still several documents written in Yiddish. The monograph is organized by text-genres and the ordered chronologically. Each entry gives a detailed description of the codicology in order to raise questions and answer questions concerning motivation and style, the writing process, readership, and ownership.
Producing Redemption in Amsterdam
Producing Redemption in Amsterdam offers an analysis of Yiddish early modern paratexts and subseuqently a history of Yiddish printed books.
Nochems neue Namen
Die Geschichte von Zuckerberg, Wiesenthal, Streisand, Ringelblum, Geizhals und anderen Familiennamen osteuropäischer Juden. Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts nahmen hunderttausende Juden in den österreichischen Provinzen Galizien und Bukowina neu geschaffene deutsche Familiennamen an. Johannes Czakai legt nun die erste umfassende wissenschaftliche Studie vor zu diesem bis heute prägenden Kapitel jüdischer Geschichte, über das bislang nur Anekdoten bekannt waren. Aufbauend auf zuvor unbekanntem Archivmaterial folgt der Autor dem Leben und den wechselnden Namen des jüdischen Kleinhändlers Nochem aus Lemberg und zeigt, wie die neuen Namen dazu beitrugen, die jüdische Lebenswelt in Ostmitteleuro...
