But Andrew Nagorski’s new book, 1941: The Year Germany Lost the War (New York, Simon & Schuster, 2019), persuasively […]

America First during WWII https://www.literaturadeazi.ro/rubrici/holocaust-memory/america-first-during-wwii-52492 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 21:07:55 +0000 https://www.literaturadeazi.ro/?p=52492 If any country could have helped save a significant proportion of the European Jews from the Holocaust it’s the United States. Reliable news about concentration and death camps started trickling into the country, via the World Jewish Congress and the State Department, in 1942. Moreover, the U.S. had a large number of Jews who, unlike […]

Young Zionists Unite: Bryan Leib’s new pro-Israel “Tribe”, HaShevet https://www.literaturadeazi.ro/rubrici/holocaust-memory/young-zionists-unite-bryan-leibs-new-pro-israel-tribe-hashevet-51922 Sun, 02 Aug 2020 21:05:28 +0000 https://www.literaturadeazi.ro/?p=51922 The Jews, though perhaps a “tribe” (HaShevet), have always had significant internal differences. A people found in practically every nation around the world, the ethnic, racial, social, religious and political differences among Jews are vast. What unites this internally diverse tribe perhaps more than anything is not so much a common identity as a shared […]

Anti-Semitism in contemporary Hungary https://www.literaturadeazi.ro/rubrici/holocaust-memory/anti-semitism-in-contemporary-hungary-51836 Sun, 26 Jul 2020 21:06:00 +0000 https://www.literaturadeazi.ro/?p=51836 Anti-Semitism has a long history in Hungary, nearly as long as the history of the Jews living in the country. In fact, Hitler was not the first to prescribe armband to mark, isolate and shame the Jews. King Ladislaus IV of Hungary (1272-1290) ordered that each Jewish person should wear a piece of red cloth.

The Jewish National Fund: Growing Zionism https://www.literaturadeazi.ro/rubrici/holocaust-memory/the-jewish-national-fund-growing-zionism-51578 Sun, 05 Jul 2020 21:05:04 +0000 https://www.literaturadeazi.ro/?p=51578 The Holocaust underscored for the Jewish people the necessity—and, many would argue, the historic right—of having their own nation. Deprived of full citizenship rights in many European countries and entirely stripped of human rights once the Nazis came to power, the Jews became ostracized and persecuted throughout Europe. They were branded as outsiders and eventually […]

The Armenian genocide, he states, “has often been referred to as ‘the forgotten genocide,’ ‘the […]

Originally a tiny farming community, Saline has grown into a thriving town with a population of almost 9000 individuals. My husband and I and our two small kids […]
