    Neglected witnesses : the fate of Jewish ceremonial objects during the Second World War and after (2011)
    Crickadarn, Nr Builth Wells

    Abstract: A number of recent publications have explored what became of art looted during the Second World War and its aftermath, but little attention has been paid to the fate of Jewish ceremonial objects used during synagogue services and in private households. Like other cultural artefacts, ceremonial objects were silent witnesses to a historical period of profound injustice. In this book, museum professionals from Amsterdam, Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Frankfurt, Warsaw and Los Angeles, along with a number of other researchers, tell the story of these objects for the first time: their looting, their rediscovery, the difficult process of restitution and their worldwide dispersion after the war to locations that often remain unknown. Within the context of European history, the articles explore the complex web of interests and relationships between the victims, the perpetrators, the Allies and the Axis countries. They do not address claims and restitution issues, but seek to foster understanding of the diverse range of situations in the many countries confronting these issues, situations arising from specific historical and political events during and after the Second World War. The book is also a valuable reference work with photographs and the texts of the international agreements on provenance research and restitution.

    Orient in Bohemia? - Jewish refugees during the First World War (2014)
    Details
    Language: English
    Year of publication: 2014
    Keywords: Flüchtling ; Weltkrieg ; Ausstellung ; Juden ; Böhmen
    Abstract: From 28. 08. 2014 to 01. 02. 2015 A new exhibition by the Jewish Museum in Prague focuses on the fate of refugees during the First World War and reflects on the centenary of the outbreak of this conflict. During the First World War, hundreds of thousands of people fled from destroyed and occupied towns to the inner regions of the Habsburg monarchy out of fear of violence in the Front areas. “Although they were the first large group of refugees in the modern history of the Bohemian lands, their fate has been overlooked. By holding this exhibition, the Jewish Museum in Prague seeks not only to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, but also to emphasize the importance of refugees and refugee policy in Czech and Czechoslovak history of the 20th century. For the Jewish population in particular, the flight of these refugees and their loss of rights was part of their journey through what was to be a century of refugees,” says Michal Frankl, the author of the exhibition. This exhibition follows the fate of Jewish refugees in Bohemia and Moravia in the broader context of refugees and refugee policy throughout the Habsburg Monarchy. In addition to highlighting the immediate fate of the refugees, however, it also explores the response of society. It examines the extent to which the then widespread division of people along ethnic lines influenced the attitude towards refugees, the extent to which the response to Jewish refugees was affected by prejudices, and the reason why Jewish refugees were targeted in unscrupulous anti-Semitic campaigns in the post-war period after the founding of an independent Czechoslovakia. On display are photographs that have never before been shown in the Czech Republic. These images not only document the life of the refugees and refugee camps, but also point to a fascination with the difference of “Eastern Jews” whose clothing, piety and unusual language attracted great attention at the time. Narrated excerpts from period chronicles and newspapers illustrate how the local population dealt with this difference and reveal the prejudices against Jewish refugees. The exhibition also features items from the Jewish Museum's visual arts collection, which further document the response to the Jewish refugees living in Bohemia. The voices, experiences and attitudes of the refugees appear to have vanished among the heaps of documents and dozens of photographs that have been preserved in archives in the Czech Republic and other countries. This is why the exhibition features the unique audiovisual testimonies of Jewish refugees and draws attention to their opinions and everyday life as reconstructed from newspapers and from fragmentary materials relating to aid organizations. Visitors will also have an opportunity to study the response of the Jewish press in dealing with the “Eastern” Jews and their difference from the more integrated Jews in the Bohemian lands. For the most part, the only physical traces of the refugees' stay in Bohemia during the First World War are their graves in Jewish cemeteries. One of these, a unique wooden tombstone on loan from Horažďovice, will be on view at the exhibition from October. The exhibition has been put together by Michal Frankl, Jan Wittenberg and Wolfgang Schellenbacher. The partner of the exhibition is the Jewish Museum in Berlin. The project was implemented with the kind support of the German-Czech Future Fund and the Foundation of the Jewish Museum in Prague.

    Abstract: During the Dutch Golden Age in Amsterdam, the engraver Salom Italia, a Ashkenazi Jew born in Mantua in 1619, invented a new style of decoration for the scrolls that told the biblical story of Esther. This tale of Jewish exile in ancient Persia still appeals to the imagination: the salvation of the Jews by the clever Queen Esther is celebrated each year by Jews around the world on the joyous holiday of Purim. Salom Italia's Esther scrolls are lavishly illustrated with triumphal arches, pictures of the main characters, narrative scenes, and vignettes with Dutch landscapes. His original decorations reflect the successful integration of Spanish and Portuguese Jews into their new homeland, the Netherlands. Even today, Italia's Esther scrolls are coveted collectors' items. Now, for the first time, six of these world-class masterpieces have been brought together, accompanied by the work of Dutch contemporaries who inspired Salom Italia.
