This book was released on 1998 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comparative history of Jewish welfare in Hamburg and Manchester highlights Jewish integration and identity formation in nineteenth-century Europe. Despite their fundamentally different historical experiences, the Jews of both cities displayed very similar patterns of welfare organization.This is illustrated by an analysis of community-wide Jewish welfare bodies and institutions, provisions for Eastern European Jewish immigrants and transmigrants, the importance of women in Jewish welfare, and the function of specialized Jewish voluntary welfare associations.The realm of welfare was vital for the preservation of secular Jewish identities and the maintenance of internal social balances. Dr Liedtke demonstrates how these virtually self-sufficient Jewish welfare systems became important components of distinctive Jewish subcultures. He shows that, thoughit was intended to promote Jewish integration, the separate organization of welfare in practice served to segregate Jews from non-Jews in this very important sphere of everyday life.

This book was released on 2006-06-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baader examines changes in practices of prayer and synagogue worship, rabbinic writings that encouraged men to cultivate a Judaism shaped by feminine values, the transformation of exclusively male philanthropic organizations into modern voluntary organizations in which men and women participated, and the new roles assumed by women as educators, activists, and religious writers. By documenting the expansion of women's spaces and women's roles in bourgeoisie Judaism and tracing the feminization of Jewish men's religious practices, Baader provides fresh insights into the gender organization of traditional Jewish culture and modern German middle-class society."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Philanthropy Patronage and Civil Society written by Thomas Adam and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Philanthropy, Patronage, and Civil Society, Thomas Adam has assembled a comparative set of case studies that challenge long-held and little-studied assumptions about the modern development of philanthropy. Histories of philanthropy have often neglected European patterns of giving and the importance of financial patronage to the emergence of modern industrialized societies. It has long been assumed, for example, that Germany never developed civic traditions of philanthropy as in the United States. In truth, however, 19th-century German museums, art galleries, and social housing projects were not only privately founded and supported, they were also blueprints for the creation of similar public institutions in North America. The comparative method of the essays also reveals the extent to which the wealthy classes on both sides of the Atlantic defined themselves through their philanthropic activities. Contributors are Thomas Adam, Maria Benjamin Baader, Karsten Borgmann, Tobias Brinkmann, Brett Fairbairn, Eckhardt Fuchs, David C. Hammack, Dieter Hoffmann, Simone Lässig, Margaret Eleanor Menninger, and Susannah Morris.

Download or read book The German Jewish Soldiers of the First World War in History and Memory written by Tim Grady and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly one hundred thousand German Jews fought in World War I, and some twelve thousand of these soldiers lost their lives in battle. This book focuses on the multifaceted ways in which these soldiers have been remembered, as well as forgotten, from 1914 to the late 1970s. By examining Germany's complex and continually evolving memory culture, Tim Grady opens up a new approach to the study of German and German-Jewish history. In doing so, he draws out a narrative of entangled and overlapping relations between Jews and non-Jews, a story that extends past the Holocaust and into the Cold War.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Thema dieses Bandes der CGL-Studies, «Gärten und Parks im Leben der jüdischen Bevölkerung nach 1933», beschreibt ein Forschungsfeld, das zugleich ein Forschungsdesiderat darstellt. Die Rolle von Gärten und Parks im Leben der jüdischen Bevölkerung in der Zeit der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur ist erst seit kurzem Gegenstand systematischer Forschung und des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses. Dabei kam ihnen - als Orten einer (temporären) Zuflucht wie auch als Orten der Verfolgung und Diskriminierung - eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Anlässlich der Tagung gleichen Titels, gefördert durch die Volkswagen Stiftung, deren Ergebnisse mit diesem Band präsentiert werden, widmeten sich Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen wie Geschichte, Literaturwissenschaft, Landschaftsarchitektur, Recht und Sozialwissenschaft dieser Thematik unter verschiedenen Fragestellungen. Die in diesem Tagungsband präsentierten Themenfelder reichen von Gärten und Parks im Kontext von Antisemitismus und Apartheid über literarische Erinnerungswelten und Gärten in der Literatur, über jüdische Friedhöfe als Orte der Verfolgung, Gärten der Ghettos und Konzentrationslager, bis hin zur Bedeutung von Gärten als Stätten der Identitätsfindung und Parks als Orte der Zuflucht und Verfolgung. Besondere Beachtung wird der Rolle der Israelitischen Gartenbauschule Ahlem in Hannover sowie in diesem Zusammenhang den gartenkulturellen Traditionen in Israel geschenkt. Fragen der Denkmalpflege ist der abschließende Beitrag des Tagungsbandes gewidmet.

Book excerpt: The phenomenon of national identities, always a key issue in the modern history of Bohemian Jewry, was particularly complex because of the marginal differences that existed between the available choices. Considerable overlap was evident in the programs of the various national movements and it was possible to change one's national identity or even to opt for more than one such identity without necessarily experiencing any far-reaching consequences in everyday life. Based on many hitherto unknown archival sources from the Czech Republic, Israel and Austria, the author's research reveals the inner dynamic of each of the national movements and maps out the three most important constructions of national identity within Bohemian Jewry - the German-Jewish, the Czech-Jewish and the Zionist. This book provides a needed framework for understanding the rich history of German- and Czech-Jewish politics and culture in Bohemia and is a notable contribution to the historiography of Bohemian, Czechoslovak and central European Jewry.

Download or read book Biography Between Structure and Agency written by Volker Rolf Berghahn and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While bookstore shelves around the world have never ceased to display best-selling "life-and-letters" biographies in prominent positions, the genre became less popular among academic historians during the Cold War decades. Their main concern then was with political and socioeconomic structures, institutions, and organizations, or-more recently-with the daily lives of ordinary people and small communities. The contributors to this volume-all well known senior historians-offer self-critical reflections on problems they encountered when writing biographies themselves. Some of them also deal with topics specific to Central Europe, such as the challenges of writing about the lives of both victims and perpetrators. Although the volume concentrates on European historiography, its strong methodological and conceptual focus will be of great interest to non-European historians wrestling with the old "structure-versus-agency" question in their own work.
