Download or read book Yiddish Empire written by Debra Caplan and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yiddish Empire tells the story of how a group of itinerant Jewish performers became the interwar equivalent of a viral sensation, providing a missing chapter in the history of the modern stage. During World War I, a motley group of teenaged amateurs, impoverished war refugees, and out- of- work Russian actors banded together to revolutionize the Yiddish stage. Achieving a most unlikely success through their productions, the Vilna Troupe (1915– 36) would eventually go on to earn the attention of theatergoers around the world. Advancements in modern transportation allowed Yiddish theater artists to reach global audiences, traversing not only cities and districts but also countries and continents. The Vilna Troupe routinely performed in major venues that had never before allowed Jews, let alone Yiddish, upon their stages, and operated across a vast territory, a strategy that enabled them to attract unusually diverse audiences to the Yiddish stage and a precursor to the organizational structures and travel patterns that we see now in contemporary theater. Debra Caplan’s history of the Troupe is rigorously researched, employing primary and secondary sources in multiple languages, and is engagingly written.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fictionalized history of the author’s maternal ancestors in Siberia provides the focus of this wide ranging book. From unjustly exiled Russians to Polish immigrants, the cavalcade of characters comes together in far eastern Siberia. They were part of the diverse group of people who settled there before 1885, known as Old Settlers or Siberiaks. Part Two, subtitled The Immigrants, introduces Michael Gladstein, a farmer and cattleman living in a village near Warsaw, whose lifelong desire is to escape the Pale of Settlement where all Jews in Russia must reside. The story of The Exiles continues in alternate chapters. But the main thread of Part Two shows how Michael and his two youngest sons manage to lawfully break out of the Pale and head for their dreamed of ranch in Siberia.

Download or read book One Palestine Complete written by Tom Segev and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2013-05-10 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panoramic and provocative history of life in Palestine during the three strife-torn but romantic decades when Britain ruled and the seeds of today's conflicts were sown Tom Segev's acclaimed works, 1949 and The Seventh Million, overturned accepted views of the history of Israel. Now Segev explores the dramatic period before the creation of the state, when Britain ruled over "one Palestine, complete" (as noted in the receipt signed by the High Commissioner) and when its promise to both Jews and Arabs that they would inherit the land set in motion the conflict that haunts the region to this day. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials, Segev reconstructs a tumultuous era (1917 to 1948) of limitless possibilities and tragic missteps. He introduces the legendary figures--General Allenby, Lawrence of Arabia, David Ben-Gurion--as well as an array of pioneers, secret agents, diplomats, and fanatics. He tracks the steady advance of Jews and Arabs toward confrontation and with his hallmark originality puts forward a radical new argument: that the British, far from being pro-Arab, as commonly thought, consistently favored the Zionist position, and did so out of the mistaken--and anti-Semitic belief that Jews turned the wheels of history. Rich in unforgettable characters, sensitive to all perspectives, One Palestine, Complete brilliantly depicts the decline of an empire, the birth of one nation, and the tragedy of another.

Download or read book Bella and Chaim written by Sara Rena Vidal and published by Hybrid Publishers. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir, Bella and Chaim, is a flowing collage which embraces and mingles memory, historical record, fragments of the 1950s, real-time journal entries and musings on the light, dark, and potential, of being alive. The whole is a testament to the human spirit. For eighteen months from late 1943, Vidal's parents lay in a small hole in the ground under a wood-sawing machine in the backyard workshop of a retired Polish policeman in a suburb of occupied Warsaw. In claustrophobic dark, they waited while outside a world war raged. Their story is inspirational; it begins with life in Warsaw in loving families, transcends the catastrophic circumstances in which they meet, fall in love, are witness to the destruction of a way of life and the murder of their entire families, endure entombment, and concludes with liberation, and immigration to make a new life. Born in a refugee camp in late 1945, Sara Vidal came to Melbourne early in 1949, graduated BARCH Melbourne University (1968) and joined the Victorian Public Service (1979-93). She has worked as an architect, human resources consultant, and consultant for not-for-profit organisations. She lives in Williamstown, Victoria, helps care for her 93-year-old mother, enjoys and helps out with four grandchildren, and continues to research and write. "Many migrant stories have recorded atrocities during WWII. But to link the deep past with the recent past and the present, and to find themes that connect them all, that is fabulous." - Liliane Grace

Download or read book The Warriors written by Harold Zissman and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-11 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this candid memoir, Harold Zissman examines Jewish existence in prewar and wartime Poland. Born into an observant family, he begins by recalling his youth in the Polish town of Ostrow-Mazowieck, near the German border. It is the 1930s, a time of childhood nostalgia darkened by ominous anti-Semitic uprisings and government indifference. In lean and concise prose, Zissman relives the German invasion of Poland and his own incarceration in a forced labor camp. He recalls life in the Derechin ghetto, where every day brought brutal Nazi persecution and the constant threat of slaughter. Finally, he tells of escape to Russia, where he fought alongside Soviet partisansonly to face prejudice from his comrades. In the tradition of Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi, Zissman probes the Nazi impact on Jewish notions of identity and community during and after the Holocaust. Few books offer such detailed insights into the complexity, peril, and volatility of life as a Jew among non-Jewish Soviet partisans, even while battling a common enemy.

Book excerpt: This is the story, based upon real people, who once lived in a Ukrainian shtetl (small town) called Zabokretch. The time is 1919, and for the Jewish inhabitants it is a time of uneasy relations with their gentile neighbors. After a brief period of independence, following the overthrow of the tsar, the Ukrainians saw their centuries-old dream shattered when the Bolsheviks came to power. The new rulers immediately re-absorbed the Ukraine into what came to be known as the Soviet Union. Among the Ukrainians there were those who blamed the Jews. The age-old fear of a pogrom spread among the Jews. This, the,. Is their story, as seen through the eyes of a family called Taitelman, who lived, and died, through an act of genocide forgotten by all but those who are descended from – a family called Taitelman. "I am unreservedly excited about this magnificent novel. It stirs, it is palpable, it lives! My only complaint is that I lost a night's sleep, for once I started reading, I could not stop till its end." David Lifson Jewish Telegraph Service

Download or read book Yiddish written by Samuel Kilsztajn and published by Samuel Kilsztajn. This book was released on 2022-07-21 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays that make up Yiddish bring together the homely flavor of family stories, the reminiscences of a childhood in a neighborhood where Yiddish was in the conversations of immigrants, old and recent, in business, in the newspapers, even in the chair of the Portuguese immigrant barber. The informality of the language, which for Shmulik was literally mameloshn (mother tongue), only became an object of his study much later, even though the memory and his search for the first childhood book and the short story Dos yingele mitn ringele (The little boy with the little ring), with which he shows an enormous identification, has accompanied his trajectory. Added to these affectionate stories was the verve of a researcher, bringing to his texts the varied readings of scholars who studied the history of Yiddish and the life of Ashkenazi Jews. With a voluminous press, its rich literature, theatrical and musical production, if the rise and fall of modern secular Yiddish literature lasted a hundred and fifty years, as Shmulik argues in his text, the historical universe and the political context of this production are much broader. And he makes a point of presenting us this intricate story, full of things that comes and goes on the borders and in the ruling empires. Much of the book is devoted to sharing some aspects of readings from some of the leading authors of the Yiddish language. Here, Shmulik offers us inspirations from his literary interpretations, an invitation to get even closer to these big names in literature. In this course, Sholem Aleichem and I. L. Peretz, classics, and Isaac Bashevis Singer, Nobel Prize in Literature, authors with guaranteed place, are present. Added to them are lesser known figures, despite their wide production, such as Dovid Bergelson, Chaim Grade and the huge Avrom Sutzkever; literary pearls like the works of Bella Chagall; and short stories by Chaim Rapoport, one of the many authors who wrote in Yiddish in Brazil. In this erratic journey of reflection on authors who wrote in different locations, Shmulik offers us an instigating synthesis of his own journey, part of which was collectively trodden in the monthly meetings of the Yiddishe Trupe. In sinuous paths, but paved with riches, at a time when awareness of the political value of the cultural heritage bequeathed by the Yiddish has expanded. This is the scene in which this book is inserted. It’s worth to get lost behind the little ring, through the little stones that Shmulik left in sight on the way. Lilian Starobinas
Download or read book Inheriting the Holocaust written by Paula S. Fass and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Inheriting the Holocaust, Paula S. Fass explores her own past as the daughter of Holocaust survivors to reflect on the nature of history and memory. Through her parents' experiences and the stories they recounted, Fass defined her engagement as a historian and used these skills to better understand her parents' lives. Fass begins her journey through time and relationships when she travels to Poland and locates birth certificates of the murdered siblings she never knew. That journey to recover her family's story provides her with ever more evidence for the perplexing reliability of memory and its winding path toward historical reconstruction. In the end, Fass recovers parts of her family's history only to discover that Poland is rapidly re-imagining the role Jews played in the nation's past.
