    Abstract: "In his latest book, Morris explores the works of 10 Jewish photographers and how their work relates to their Jewish heritage, as well as why and how Jewish photographers have distinguished themselves in their field. Morris begins with Weegee (Arthur Fellig), 'a chronicler of death and heartbreak,' and moves on to the photographs of Bruce Davidson, Jim Goldberg, Mel Rosenthal, Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, Allen Ginsberg, Annie Leibovitz, Tyagan Miller, and Marc Asnin. . Morris concludes that photography is one means of ĺwitnessing as a form of social responsibility related to the biblical imperative, the injunction to Remember (Zakhor).'" - Publishers Weekly

    Keywords: Autobiografie ; Stadtentwicklung ; Exil ; USA
    Abstract: Victor Gruen (1903-1980) zählt zu den einflussreichsten Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts: Beim Versuch, in der US-amerikanischen Vorstadt seine Geburtsstadt Wien zu rekonstruieren, erfand der Emigrant jüdischer Herkunft die Shopping Mall. ćIch weigere mich, Alimente für diese Bastardprojekte zu bezahlen, sie haben unsere Städte zerstört̮, schrieb Gruen später angesichts der Mallisierung der Städte und setzte sich für Fußgängerzonen und das Konzept der zellularen Stadt ein. Zurück in Europa warnte er vor dem Modell Amerika und forderte ein Verständnis von Architektur als verantwortungsbewusste Umweltgestaltung. Die Autobiografie rekonstruiert ein Jahrhundert Stadtentwicklung und bezeugt eine visionäre Kraft, die, beflügelt von Gesellschaftskritik ebenso wie Gigantomanie, das Urbane kompromisslos verteidigt. Mit Beiträgen von Peggy Gruen und Michael Gruen.

    Keywords: Judentum ; Religiöse Identität ; Erlebnisbericht ; USA
    Abstract: Theodore Ross was nine years old when he moved with his mother from New York City to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Once there, his mother decided, for both personal and spiritual reasons, to have her family pretend not to be Jewish. He went to an Episcopal school, where he studied the New Testament, sang in the choir, and even took Communion. Later, as an adult, he wondered: Am I still Jewish? Seeking an answer, Ross traveled around the country and to Israel, visiting a wide variety of Jewish communities. From ̮Crypto-JewsŁ in New Mexico and secluded ultra-devout Orthodox towns in upstate New York to a rare Classical Reform congregation in Kansas City, Ross tries to understand himself by experiencing the diversity of Judaism. Quirky and self-aware, introspective and impassioned, Am I a Jew? is a story about the universal struggle to define a relationship (or lack thereof) with religion.

    Johannes Urzidil : ein "hinternationaler" Schriftsteller zwischen Böhmen und New York (2013)

    Keywords: Urzidil, Johannes ; Schriftsteller ; Exil ; Prag ; USA
    Abstract: Leben und Werk des Prager deutschen Schriftstellers Johannes Urzidil (1896-1970) stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes. Er nimmt dessen vielfältiges Werk in den Blick, das in seiner böhmischen Heimat wie im New Yorker Exil entstand und beide Hemisphären behandelt. Die Beiträge beleuchten Urzidils Bedeutung nicht nur als Erzähler und Lyriker, sondern auch als politischer Zeitungs- und Rundfunkjournalist, als Verfasser von kunst-, kultur-, literatur- und landesgeschichtlichen Essays und Monographien sowie als Übersetzer aus dem Tschechischen und Englischen. Damit will der Band diesen bedeutenden Mittler zwischen Deutschen und Tschechen, Christen und Juden, Europa und Amerika wieder stärker im kulturellen Gedächtnis verankern.

    Keywords: Salmon, Sarah ; Auswanderung ; Einwanderung ; Frankreich ; USA ; New York Freiheitsstatue
    Abstract: Dans son nouveau livre, Nathalie Salmon vous fait découvrir une merveilleuse histoire, jamais racontée jusqu'alors : celle de Sarah, la jeune Américaine qui pose en 1875 pour la statue de la Liberté dans l'atelier de Bartholdi. Près de 140 ans après, voici enfin levé le tout dernier secret de la statue, l̷un des plus grands symboles du patrimoine universel. Cette incroyable histoire touche personnellement Nathalie Salmon puisque Sarah était l'épouse de l'un de ses ancêtres, Adolphe Salmon, émigré de Lorraine aux Etats-Unis. Des recherches de plusieurs années, familiales autant que scientifiques, livrent aujourd̷hui sur cet épisode méconnu une fresque d̷ampleur. Autour de ce couple mythique que sont Adolphe et Sarah, gravitent des personnages inconnus ou de premier plan dont l̷auteur restitue des moments de vie : Samson, le premier mari de Sarah qui se rend en Californie en pleine ruée vers l'or, Auguste Bartholdi l̷éminent sculpteur dont Salmon est le fondé de pouvoir et proche ami, d̷audacieux immigrés ainsi que des politiques, artistes, mécènes, entrepreneurs européens et américains qui ont bâti le XXe siècle. Cette biographie exacte est non romancée : le romanesque des situations se passe de toute enluminure. LADY LIBERTY I LOVE YOU est une épopée historique mêlant l'émigration vers les États-Unis, l'amitié franco-américaine, la conquête de l'Ouest, la liberté d'entreprendre, l'amour, l'amitié... Ce livre est par ailleurs merveilleusement illustré de gravures et photos d'époque, pour certaines inédites ainsi que de documents authentiques que l'auteur a patiemment réunis et qu'elle veut partager avec ses lecteurs.

    Year of publication: 2012
    Keywords: Israel ; Globalisierung ; USA
    Abstract: In The Future of the Jews, Stuart E. Eizenstat, a senior diplomat of international reputation, surveys the major geopolitical, economic, and security challenges facing the world in general, and the Jewish world and the United States in particular. These forces include the shift of power and influence from the United States and Europe to the emerging powers in Asia and Latin America; globalization and the new information age; the battle for the direction of the Muslim world; nontraditional security threats; changing demographics, which pose a particular challenge for Jews worldwide and the rise of a new anti-Semitism that seeks to delegitimize Israel as a Jewish state. He also discusses the enduring nature of and challenges to the strategic alliance between the United States and Israel. Eizenstat's provocative analysis will be of interest to everyone concerned about the future of Jews worldwide and in Israel and the United States' role in a world that is confronting unprecedented simultaneous, cataclysmic changes.
