    Keywords: Fur trade History ; Jewish businesspeople History
    Abstract: Up until World War II, the fur trade was one of Leipzig’s most prosperous economic sectors, integrating the city into a global production and trading network and establishing it as a major trading place for this “soft gold” alongside London and New York. In this context, Jewish entrepreneurs played a significant role, for it is estimated that up to 75 percent of the fur trading houses in Leipzig were owned by Jewish families. Consequently, this industry suffered severely under the Nazi regime, was later nationalized under communist rule, and dissolved completely after the reunification of Germany in 1990. Nevertheless, the memory of the fur city is still cherished today and has become inseparably linked to the memory of Jewish life, both in Leipzig’s commemorative culture and scholarly research. This literature survey tries to reconstruct the development of this close nexus by showing how research on the Jewish protagonists evolved out of the fur industry’s own prewar publications, which tried to establish a common self-concept based on historical narratives. It also illuminates how some key publications shaped Leipzig’s culture of remembrance after 1990 and how this standardization of a historical narrative might today be misleading.

    Ungleiche Weggefährten : Hannah Arendt, Melvin Lasky und der Antitotalitarismus im Kalten Krieg. (2018)

    Keywords: Lasky, Melvin J. ; Arendt, Hannah, ; Anti-communist movements ; Totalitarianism ; Cold War
    Abstract: This article focuses on the ambivalent relationship between two crucial protagonists of the cultural Cold War: the political theorist Hannah Arendt and the less known editor and networker Melvin Lasky. It thereby scrutinizes for the first time the common path taken by the famous scholar of totalitarianism and the American-born Cold War liberal. Besides illustrating a hitherto less studied facet of Arendt’s biography, the paper seeks to determine her role in the anti-communist struggle in general. Although Arendt supported Lasky’s ardent struggle against the Soviet Union in principle, her understanding of the Holocaust as an unprecedented crime as well as her distrust of Cold War liberalism led her to a unique political position. By examining three contexts of encounter – the common milieu of the New York intellectuals, their collaboration in the liberal highbrow magazine Der Monat, and their work as public intellectuals in the Congress for Cultural Freedom – the similarities and differences of their anti-totalitarianism are here made visible.

    Keywords: Simmel, Georg, Political and social views ; Jews Identity ; Jewish philosophers
    Abstract: This article examines the posthumous impact and readings of Georg Simmel during the interwar period. Aside from his not inconsiderable impact within his discipline, the readings often move in the gray area between different discourses, with the work and person of Simmel repeatedly being employed to interpret the times. In his obituaries, an extremely ambivalent image of Simmel was already being constructed as the apex and culmination point of an era. In numerous recollections, Simmel moreover increasingly acquired a pronounced physiognomy of thought in which his “Jewishness” played a central role. Precisely because he is regarded as a typical representative of German Jewry, the portrait of Simmel after 1945 can serve to describe this Jewry.

    Keywords: Hirsch, Rudolf, Political and social views ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Mass media and the Holocaust ; Germany (East)
    Abstract: Though the Shoah was hardly at the core of the GDR’s memory practices, it was regularly addressed by a few individuals, despite all obstacles. This paper analyzes the works of Rudolf Hirsch, the most prominent and widely read legal correspondent of the GDR, focusing on the way the Shoah was represented therein. While Hirsch often wrote polemically about alleged West German neo-Fascism, thus contributing actively to the Party’s campaigns against the Federal Republic, he never fully adopted a Marxist view. Rather, his personal experiences forced him to write more empathically and to analyze the Shoah by merging Marxism with a Jewish perspective.

    Keywords: Jews Biography ; Rural population ; Czechoslovakia Rural conditions
    Abstract: This paper deals with mostly published memories of Bohemian and Moravian Jews who were born and grew up in villages and small rural towns in the second half of the nineteenth or in the first decade of the twentieth century and who wrote down their histories before or after the Shoah. The first memories, mainly autobiographical fiction, recounting the end of the nineteenth century, were largely a reaction to the process of urbanisation which led to an important migration of Jews to the cities. After 1918, amateur historiography became important in the remembrance of rural Jewish life and was often triggered by feelings of nostalgia. Both forms of cultural memory- (partly autobiographical) fiction and popular historiography- also framed the patterns of remembering rural Jews after the Shoah. Nostalgia was often expressed in connection with sensation, for example in descriptions of religious traditions and habits. In contrast to the testimonies written before the Shoah the ambivalent longing for a place was now overlaid with the irreversible loss of people, the authors' mourning of their lost relatives, friends and neighbours, and with the emptiness of the remembered places.

    Lehrjahre auf dem Weg zum Dissidenten : Stefan Heyms Freundschaft mit Robert Havemann und Wolf Biermann. (2018)

    Keywords: Heym, Stefan, Friends and associates ; Heym, Stefan, Political and social views ; Havemann, Robert Political and social views ; Biermann, Wolf, Political and social views ; Jewish authors ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) Influence ; Germany (East) Politics and government
    Abstract: Stefan Heym, whose life spanned all five political systems in Germany through the twentieth century, was regarded in both the Federal Republic and the German Democratic Republic as one of the most versatile and widely read authors of the postwar period. He was also understood as a moral and political symbol of the opposition in the GDR – as well as its most influential voice following the expatriation of Wolf Biermann in 1976. This article examines Heym’s by no means straightforward development, focusing on his friendships with Robert Havemann and Wolf Biermann. On the basis of autobiographical texts authored by the three former friends as well as the state security files on Heym, it reveals the various attitudes adopted towards the GDR as well as the state’s reactions. In its 11th Assembly, which took place in 1965, the Central Commission of the SED marked Havemann, Heym, and Biermann as the greatest interior public enemies of the GDR, whereupon Heym distanced himself from his friends. It is in this context that the three protagonists’ references to Nazi persecution and the Shoah will here be evaluated for the first time, with particular regard to potential parallels and intersections. By looking especially at the private sphere, beyond community and government politics, the article elucidates important aspects of a secular Jewish self-understanding in the GDR.

    Keywords: Evreĭskoe istoriko-ėtnograficheskoe obshchestvo (Saint Petersburg, Russia) ; Sovetish Heymland (Moscow) ; Jews Study and teaching ; Jewish scholars ; Jews Identity ; Yiddish periodicals
    Abstract: After years of difficult conditions for Jewish studies in the Soviet Union, a new Jewish Historical-Ethnographic Commission was founded in 1982, intentionally named after its late imperial predecessor. It was a daring undertaking, especially considering the fact that some of its members had applied for emigration to Israel and took part in the movement for Jewish self-determination. However, other founding members were reputable colleagues at the Institute of Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR who, besides their commitment to the Commission, worked on other ethnographic subjects. In 1982, despite the initial reservations of its managing editor Aron Vergelis, the Commission convinced the only Soviet Yiddish-language journal Sovetish Heymland, which was originally tasked to propagate a liberal Soviet attitude towards its Jewish readership, to launch a special section on Jewish ethnography. This cooperation with the journal allowed the Commission to publish some of its results and provided access to libraries and archival material on Jewish topics. Despite distrust and surveillance by the state, the Commission’s members who supported the movement for Jewish self-determination used the state’s official structures, such as the Sovetish Heymland and the Academy of Sciences, to recover the heritage of its predecessor organization in archives and museums, but also to conduct field research in remote areas of the Soviet Union. In doing so, it served both as a platform for exchange and a starting point for research by future professionals in Jewish studies.
