East European Jews in Switzerland (Hardcover): Tamar Lewinsky, Sandrine Mayoraz East European Jews in Switzerland (Hardcover)
Tamar Lewinsky, Sandrine Mayoraz
R3,485 Discovery Miles 34 850 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

During the era of Jewish mass migration from Eastern Europe (from the 1880s until the First World War), Switzerland played an important role in absorbing immigrants. Though located at the periphery of the main migration routes, the federal state with its liberal policies on foreigners became a key destination for students, revolutionaries, and travelers. The micro-studies and more general papers of this volume approach the topic in its transnational, local, linguistic, gendered, and ideological dimensions and from various disciplinary angles. They interweave and facilitate a novel take on the transitory spatial history and the Lebenswelt of East European Jews in Switzerland. Topics of this volume range - among others - from the location of Switzerland on the map of East European Jewish politics (Bundism, Socialism, Yiddishism, Zionism), conflicting performative cultures of Jewish and Russian revolutionaries, the Swiss Lehr- and Wanderjahre of the Jewish public intellectual Meir Wiener, the impact of Geneva on the Zionist Hebrew writer Ben Ami, the Russian-Jewish students' colonies in Berne and Zurich and questions of individuals' integration and acculturation.

Diese Anthologie stellt ein vergessenes Kapitel der Holocaustliteratur vor: Die jiddische Literatur der judischen Displaced Persons im besetzten Deutschland. Die hier erstmals ins Deutsche ubertragenen Gedichte und Prosastucke zahlen zu den fruhesten Versuchen judischer Uberlebender, sich der erlittenen Katastrophe literarisch zu nahern. Der Churbn, wie der Holocaust auf Jiddisch genannt wird, umfasste fur die Verfasser nicht nur den nationalsozialistischen Genozid, sondern auch unterschiedliche Kriegserfahrungen, die traumatische Begegnung mit der Zerstorung und den Verlust von Familie und Heimat. Daruber hinaus zeugen diese Texte von der unmittelbaren und schmerzlichen Begegnung zwischen Tatern und Opfern im besetzten Nachkriegsdeutschland und zahlen damit zu den fruhesten Dokumenten einer deutsch-judischen Beziehungsgeschichte."
