    Abstract: This book explores new transnational questions in Jewish history, analyzing the historical, cultural and social experience of American Jewry from 1654 to the present day, and evaluates the relationship between European and American Jewish history. Did the hopes of Jewish immigrants to establish an independent American Judaism in a free and pluralistic country come to fruition? How did Jews in America define their relationship to the 'Old World' of Europe, both before and after the Holocaust? What are the religious, political and cultural challenges for American Jews in the twenty-first century? Internationally renowned scholars come together in this volume to present new research on how immigration from Western and Eastern Europe established a new and distinctively American Jewish identity that went beyond the traditions of Europe, yet remained attached in many ways to its European origins

    Abstract: Julius Rosenwald (1862-1932) rose from modest means as the son of a peddler to immense wealth at the helm of Sears, Roebuck. Yet his most defining legacy stands not upon his business acumen but on the pioneering changes he introduced to the practice of philanthropy. While few may recall Rosenwald's name--he refused to have it attached to the buildings, projects, or endowments he supported--his passionate support of Jewish and African American causes continues to influence lives to this day. This biography of Julius Rosenwald explores his attitudes toward his own wealth and his distinct ideas about philanthropy, positing an intimate connection between his Jewish consciousness and his involvement with African Americans. The book shines light on his belief in the importance of giving in the present to make an impact on the future, and on his encouragement of beneficiaries to become partners in community institutions and projects. Rosenwald emerges from these pages as a compassionate man whose generosity and wisdom transformed the practice of philanthropy itself

    Abstract: Dieses dokumentarische Projekt beleuchtet die Lebensgeschichten von 21 Österreicherinnen und Österreichern, die in den Dreißigerjahren vor dem Nationalsozialismus nach Großbritannien flüchteten und dort eine neue Heimat fanden. Die in London ansässige Fotografin Marion Trestler hat mit diesen jüdischen Flüchtlingen über viele Jahre hinweg Gespräche geführt, sie immer wieder besucht, fotografiert und gefilmt. Auf sehr persönliche Art und Weise hat sie sich den Lebensgeschichten, die sie in den einfühlsam geführten Interviews erfahren hat, genähert und mit der Darstellung der vielgestaltigen, individu-ellen Erzählungen in diesem Buch ist es nun gelungen, dieses Wissen über die Vergangenheit zu-gänglich, begreifbar und damit auch nachvollziehbar zu machen. Zudem wird dieser außergewöhnliche Porträt-Band durch wissenschaftliche und journalistischen Beiträge anderer Autorinnen und Autoren bereichert, sodass die Fülle der so entstandenen bio-grafischen Essays, der zusammengestellten Zitate und der von Marion Trestler aufgenommen Bilder einen Blick erlaubt auf 21 faszinierende Persönlichkeiten, ihren vielfältigen Einfluss auf kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Aspekte und ihre reichhaltigen Lebensgeschichten, ihre Lebenswege, ihr Lebenswerk

    Abstract: Joseph Süss Oppenheimer -"Jew Süss" - is one of the most iconic figures in the history of anti-Semitism. In 1733, Oppenheimer became the "court Jew" of Carl Alexander, the duke of the small German state of Wurttemberg. When Carl Alexander died unexpectedly, the Wurttemberg authorities arrested Oppenheimer, put him on trial, and condemned him to death for unspecified "misdeeds." On February 4, 1738, Oppenheimer was hanged in front of a large crowd just outside Stuttgart. He is most often remembered today through several works of fiction, chief among them a vicious Nazi propaganda movie made in 1940 at the behest of Joseph Goebbels. The Many Deaths of Jew Suss is a compelling new account of Oppenheimer's notorious trial. Drawing on a wealth of rare archival evidence, Yair Mintzker investigates conflicting versions of Oppenheimer's life and death as told by four contemporaries: the leading inquisitor in the criminal investigation, the most important eyewitness to Oppenheimer's final days, a fellow court Jew who was permitted to visit Oppenheimer on the eve of his execution, and one of Oppenheimer's earliest biographers. What emerges is a lurid tale of greed, sex, violence, and disgrace - but are these narrators to be trusted? Meticulously reconstructing the social world in which they lived, and taking nothing they say at face value, Mintzker conjures an unforgettable picture of "Jew Süss" in his final days that is at once moving, disturbing, and profound
