    We Lived with Dignity

    We Lived with Dignity

    De Engelstalige editie. Linnengebonden met omslag, in excellente conditie.

    In the first academic book to describe the life of poor Jews in Amsterdam between the two world wars, We Lived with Dignity captures in poignant detail the unique qualities of that city's Jewish ghetto before Hitler's reign of terror. Interviews with more than ninety survivors who shared memories of living conditions in the ghetto and their feelings about the tremendous changes they lived through create an oral history that has not previously been recorded in formal descriptions and archives. The research in this book raises questions and challenges assumptions about what the past was like and how it can be portrayed. Selma Leydesdorff suggests that oral history may not always be an accurate measure. Because memories about the period before the war are veiled by the massive slaughter of the Jews by the Germans, survivors often idealize their circumstances, burying under layers of romantic nostalgia the reality of hunger, poor housing, poverty and filth, unemployment, and a lack of social stability - precisely of the sort depicted in present-day literature about the old Jewish quarter. She found that the processing of practically every interview, every "fact", involved a struggle between reality, distortion, and myth. We Lived with Dignity contains more than people's stories. Leydesdorff confirms events, exposes the truth, and explains distortions by reference to other material. To bring order into the world she hears about, she frames her interviews with critical information including a summary of the historical, economic, and demographic relationships within which the Amsterdam Jewish proletariat lived; an explanation of the changes in living conditions and the conscious attempts thatwere made to help the Jews - a cultural and religious minority - adapt to what was regarded as "modern" or "progressive"; and a description of the culture of poverty, the strategies for survival that characterized it, and the apparent impossibility of escaping it. Of the 140,000 Jews living in the Netherlands in 1941, eighty percent died during World War II. Although there are no exact figures, it is generally assumed that the slaughter was worst among the proletariat. The devastation can be seen from the fact that there is no Jewish proletarian culture left at all. In this sense, Leydesdorff's study of the history of the Jewish proletariat of Amsterdam is also a study of the consequences of World War II, and of the nature of the destruction brought about by the Holocaust.

    Essays on Ancient and Modern Judaism

    Engelstalige hardcover met stofomslag, als nieuw, Like NEW.

    Arnaldo Momigliano (1908-87) was one of the most distinguished twentieth-century scholars of the classics and of ancient and modern history. Throughout his career, but especially in the final twenty years of his life, he wrote essays on a variety of Jewish themes and individuals. This volume collects twenty-six of these essays, most of which appear in English for the first time.

    Momigliano acknowledged that his Judaism was the most fundamental inspiration for his scholarship, and the writings in this collection demonstrate how the ethical experience of the Hebraic tradition informed his other works. Part 1 is devoted entirely to writings on ancient and medieval Judaism. In these essays, Momigliano ranges over such subjects as the stages of rapport between Hellenism and Judaism, the figure of Flavius Josephus, and the salient moments of Maccabean history. Part 2 comprises Momigliano's writings on modern subjects. Here are profiles of Jewish scholars of the classical world (Bernays, Bickerman, and Finley) together with those of eminent representatives of contemporary Jewish thought (Strauss, Scholem, and Benjamin). These essays gain special significance alongside Momigliano's reflections on Italian Jewry and the Weberian interpretation of Judaism.

    Silvia Berti's Introduction discusses Momigliano's religious and intellectual formation, the key events of his life, and the influence of Judaism on his mature scholarship. In his Preface, Momigliano offers a personal meditation on his own Judaism and that of his family.

    By the time of his death, Momigliano had acquired an international following. This volume will at last give his admirers in the English-speaking world easy access to an important body of his work.

    Dictionnaire encyclopédique du Judaïsme

    Frans. Dikke paperback, in zeer goede staat, trefwoorden, Joden, Jodendom, Judaica, Israel, Israelische staat. 

    Qu'est-ce que le judaïsme ? Une histoire, une religion, une identité, une mémoire, une étiquette, une loi, un livre? Depuis les temps bibliques jusqu'à l'époque de l'état hébreux, le judaïsme n'a cessé de se transformer. Pour débrouiller cet écheveau, une centaine de chercheurs du monde entier ont exploré la vie quotidienne juive, le cycle des fêtes, les multiples aspects de la pensée juive, les principaux concepts du Talmud, la différence entre achkenazes et sefarades, l'importance du hassidisme, les rapports entre le judaïsme et l'islam, l'enseignement des prophètes, et mille autres faits touchant aux relations entre le judaïsme et l'histoire du monde occidental. Sont ainsi expliquées, à travers quelque mille cinq cents articles, pour les Juifs et les non-juifs - qui partagent d'ailleurs souvent la même méconnaissance du judaïsme les notions "d'Ablution", de "Chabbat", de "Circoncision", de "Torah" ou de "Yiddish". Une Esquisse de l'histoire du peuple juif, illustrée par de nombreuses cartes, et un Calendrier juif complètent ce Dictionnaire encyclopédique du judaïsme, dont l'original américain a été spécialement adapté pour le lecteur français. Un index thématique, enfin, facilitant au lecteur la circulation à travers tout l'ouvrage, fait de ce Dictionnaire un outil de travail hors pair et unique en français.
