Abstract: The Jewish Councils in the Eastern European ghettos were misled by the system of forced labor introduced by the Nazis in the ghettos. Apart from other effects, this system provided the relations between Nazi authorities and Jewish communities with some "economic rationality". The Jews believed that their labor was essential for the Nazis’ self-preservation. Productive labor seemed to the "Judenrat" to be a means to prevent or forestall the ghettos’ annihilation. Thus, the "Judenrat" failed as an observer who was attempting to judge the Nazis’ aims and means. Contends that historians are in the same position; they try to reconstruct historical reality based on assumptions of rationality inherent to the normal civilized world.

Keywords: Jews History ; Jews History 1800-2000

Abstract: Analyzes the revival of traditional antisemitism as a controversial issue in the constitution of a new unified Europe. Mentions the significance of the events in Carpentras and antisemitism in Eastern Europe, probably due to the reappearance of nationalism and religion in the Soviet Union. Although Jews may have ambiguous feelings towards reunited Germany, since Germans consider their new situation as a sort of amnesty for the criminal past, asserts that many Eastern European Jews will seek refuge in this country.

Keywords: Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Historiography ; National socialism Historiography ; Jews History 1933-1945 ; Jewish councils History 20th century

Abstract: Examines historiographical approaches to Nazism and the Holocaust, contending that the usual methodological approaches are insufficient when it comes to fathoming the universal historical significance of National Socialism. Historians write about it either from the perspective of the perpetrators or that of the victims. Although National Socialism has been described as a "historical crisis", it seems to have left no visible changes in the rationally organized structure of civilization. Contends that historiography must relate to the experiences of the "Judenräte", which were both victims and perpetrators at the same time, to understand the universal significance of Nazism and the nature of the "historical crisis" - the nullification of that rationality of action oriented toward traditional and universally accepted notions of evil. Society and its functioning is based on that rationality of action, and therefore society and historians tend to relegate the core event of National Socialism - nullification of rationality - to oblivion.

Keywords: Heim, Susanne, ; Aly, Götz, ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Historiography ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Economic aspects ; National socialism Historiography

Abstract: Criticizes Götz Aly and Susanne Heim's thesis that Nazi experts planned the Final Solution as a means of demographic and economic rationalization, arguing that it is a mono-causal explanation which leaves out of account the primacy of racist and political motives as well as the actual happenings. Asserts also that by delineating the continuity of the careers of the experts, and the historical context of their ideas of modernization and population control, they divert attention from the Holocaust as a distinct event.

Note: Appeared in English as "Rationalization and method; critique of a new approach in understanding the 'Final Solution'" in "Yad Vashem Studies" 24 (1994) 71-108, and as "On rationality and rationalization; an economistic explanation of the Final Solution" in his "Beyond the Conceivable" (2000) 138-159. In Hebrew: "Yad Vashem" 24 (1995).

Abstract: Discussing Robert Conquest's book "The Harvest of Sorrow", on the Ukrainian famine in the 1930s, opposes the implied attempt to compare Nazi crimes with those of the USSR during Stalin's regime. Analyzes the differences in the situations, and the dissimilarity of the victims of both crimes. Explains that for the crimes in the Ukraine only the Soviet regime is held responsible because the victims were their citizens, while the entire German nation is considered responsible for the mass murder of the Jews.
