Engaging Cultural Ideologies
Engaging Cultural Ideologies offers a recontextualization of the effects of Poland’s cultural practices, especially those concerning issues such as nationalism, elitism, and race, on the genesis and performance of contemporary Polish compositions from 1918 to 1956. Based on extensive archival research that includes the first comprehensive examination of concert programs in Poland as well as a series of case studies focused on composers’ challenges in the midst of nearly constant turmoil, Bylander brings fresh insights into the public and private power struggles concerning artistic freedom that were animated by similar points of contention across seemingly diverse historical eras.
Poland in a Colonial World Order
Poland in a Colonial World Order is a study of the interwar Polish state and empire building project in a changing world of empires, nation-states, dominions, protectorates, mandates, and colonies. Drawing from a wide range of sources spanning two continents and five countries, Piotr Puchalski examines how Polish elites looked to expansion in South America and Africa as a solution to both real problems, such as industrial backwardness, and perceived issues, such as the supposed overrepresentation of Jews in "liberal professions." He charts how, in partnership with other European powers and international institutions such as the League of Nations, Polish leaders made attempts to channel emigr...
Ordinary Jews
How Jewish responses during the Holocaust shed new light on the dynamics of genocide and political violence Focusing on the choices and actions of Jews during the Holocaust, Ordinary Jews examines the different patterns of behavior of civilians targeted by mass violence. Relying on rich archival material and hundreds of survivors' testimonies, Evgeny Finkel presents a new framework for understanding the survival strategies in which Jews engaged: cooperation and collaboration, coping and compliance, evasion, and resistance. Finkel compares Jews' behavior in three Jewish ghettos—Minsk, Kraków, and Białystok—and shows that Jews' responses to Nazi genocide varied based on their experiences...

Uprooting the Diaspora
In Uprooting the Diaspora, Sarah Cramsey explores how the Jewish citizens rooted in interwar Poland and Czechoslovakia became the ideal citizenry for a post–World War II Jewish state in the Middle East. She asks, how did new interpretations of Jewish belonging emerge and gain support amongst Jewish and non-Jewish decision makers exiled from wartime east central Europe and the powerbrokers surrounding them? Usually, the creation of the State of Israel is cast as a story that begins with Herzl and is brought to fulfillment by the Holocaust. To reframe this trajectory, Cramsey draws on a vast array of historical sources to examine what she calls a "transnational conversation" carried out by a...
Écrits des condamnés à mort sous l'occupation nazie
Les "écrits des condamnés à mort", ce sont les écrits produits dans les ghettos et les camps de l’Europe occupée par les nazis — des poèmes, des journaux intimes, des chroniques, etc. —, ce sont les manuscrits enterrés par les Sonderkommandos, les archives clandestines des ghettos, mais aussi les inscriptions sur les murs de la prison de Fresnes et la poésie de la Résistance en France, en Italie ou ailleurs. Michel Borwicz (1911-1987), lui-même survivant de la Shoah en Pologne et ancien combattant de la Résistance polonaise, émigré en France en 1947, a écrit en 1953 cette première étude socio-historique sur le phénomène du recours à l’écriture face à la violence destructrice du nazisme. Ce livre à la fois pionnier et méconnu, insolite dans sa généalogie, sa conception et sa composition, est une œuvre de l’exil nourrie par toute l’expérience de son auteur pendant et après la guerre. Riche d’une incomparable documentation, il est aussi l’un des premiers ouvrages d’histoire en français sur la destruction des Juifs de Pologne et, plus discrètement, un livre de souvenirs, un livre témoin.
Hungarian Jews in the Age of Genocide
Hungarian Jews, the last major Jewish community in the Nazi sphere of influence by 1944, constituted the single largest group of victims of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In Hungarian Jews in the Age of Genocide Ferenc Laczó draws on hundreds of scholarly articles, historical monographs, witness accounts as well as published memoirs to offer a pioneering exploration of how this prolific Jewish community responded to its exceptional drama and unprecedented tragedy. Analysing identity options, political discourses, historical narratives and cultural agendas during the local age of persecution as well as the varied interpretations of persecution and annihilation in their immediate aftermath, the monograph places the devastating story of Hungarian Jews at the dark heart of the European Jewish experience in the 20th century.
Im Zeichen der Nationalisierung
Bisher hat noch keine Schweizer Universität ihre Geschichte in der Zwischenkriegszeit aufgearbeitet. Diese Studie macht mit der Universität Zürich den Anfang. Der erste Teil wertet Studierendendaten aus und verdeutlicht den Bedeutungsverlust des «Ausländerstudiums» für die größte Schweizer Universität. Die quantitative Analyse zeigt, dass die ausländischen Studierenden hauptsächlich aus Deutschland, Polen und den USA kamen. Die Motive dieser drei Gruppen für die akademische (Zwangs-) Migration werden genauer untersucht. Der zweite Teil erforscht anhand von umfangreichen Quellenmaterialien die Ausländerpolitik und die Haltung der einheimischen Professoren und Studierenden gegenüber Ausländerinnen und Ausländern. Dabei steht die Frage im Zentrum, ob die Universitätsangehörigen die mit der Nationalisierung einhergehenden Überzeugungen wie Antisemitismus, Fremden- und Frauenfeindlichkeit teilten.
