Download or read book Narrative and Imperative written by Risa B. Sodi and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrative & Imperative is the first book in English on Italian Holocaust writing as a whole. Risa Sodi explores the work of eight representative authors, including the internationally famous (Primo Levi, Giorgio Bassani, and Elsa Morante) and the lesser known (Giacomo Debenedetti, Paolo Maurensig, Liana Millu, Bruno Piazza, and Giuliana Tedeschi). She examines issues of genre, language, gender, and facticity while situating the works studied within the fields of European and Holocaust letters. A brief history of the Italian Jews - the oldest Jewish community in Europe - opens the book, and the conclusion brings the study up to recent times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nel 2013 ricorre il settantesimo anniversario del 16 ottobre 1943, data del più grande rastrellamento degli ebrei in Italia. Questo è un giorno di focale importanza per la memoria collettiva della città di Roma, che lo commemora con fiaccolate, convegni, manifestazioni varie. Oggi viene descritto per la prima volta in una mostra che racconta i drammatici eventi di quei giorni, con un impatto visivo capace di segnare la memoria della collettività tutta. Un’esposizione che si concentra sulla sorte degli ebrei della capitale, vittime della politica di sterminio nazista, ma che si rivolge a tutti gli italiani, perché si tratta della loro storia. I nomi delle 1022 vittime della retata introducono il percorso espositivo. Si comincia con una panoramica della storia della comunità ebraica romana, dalle origini fino al 1943, toccando il periodo dell’emancipazione, quando gli ebrei credevano di essere definitivamente diventati parte integrante della società in cui vivevano, quello della Prima guerra mondiale, quando erano orgogliosi del loro essere italiani, dimostrandolo col sangue, per poi affrontare l’infamia delle cosiddette “Leggi razziali”, che hanno bruciato ogni illusione di una definitiva integrazione. Si arriva poi all’occupazione tedesca, dopo la caduta di Mussolini e l’annuncio dell’armistizio, dal ricatto dei 50 chili d’oro pretesi dai nazisti al furto dei libri e delle liste dei contribuenti presso gli uffici della Comunità ebraica. Si entra quindi nello specifico della razzia, con nuovi documenti recuperati, con i disegni originali di Aldo Gay (pittore ebreo romano che, scampato all’arresto, realizza sul posto straordinarie immagini a carboncino della razzia), con i racconti dei testimoni, con la visualizzazione degli arresti con una mappa interattiva della città. Per la prima volta viene analizzata la retata anche con l’aiuto delle testimonianze di chi l’ha eseguita, da Kappler ai componenti delle squadre d’arresto, con rarissime immagini inedite di alcuni di loro. Ma la narrazione mette al centro il punto di vista delle vittime, attraverso le loro storie, racconti, documenti originali, volti. Il visitatore può seguirne le vicende, dall’arresto, all’interno del Collegio Militare, alla partenza dalla stazione Tiburtina nei vagoni piombati, all’arrivo a Birkenau, dove sono sottoposti alla disumana procedura della cosiddetta “selezione iniziale” in cui i nazisti decidono di ucciderne la quasi totalità nelle camere a gas, inserendo nel campo solo 149 uomini e 47 donne. Uno sguardo particolare è rivolto all’atteggiamento del mondo esterno di fronte agli arresti: da quello del Vaticano, a quello della popolazione italiana, fino alle notizie giunte agli Alleati. Si prosegue con l’analisi del tentativo degli ebrei sfuggiti alla cattura il 16 ottobre di mettersi in salvo attraverso fughe e nascondigli, aiutati dalla popolazione non ebraica e da istituti religiosi o con l’aiuto di proprie organizzazioni, come la Delasem (Delegazione per l’Assistenza degli Emigranti Ebrei). Ci si sofferma infine sulla dolorosa ricerca dei dispersi, sulle biografie dei sedici sopravvissuti e il loro traumatico ritorno alla vita. L’esposizione chiude con le commoventi immagini di chi non è tornato. Ricorderanno a tutti l’incolmabile vuoto che queste persone hanno lasciato.

Book Synopsis Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe, 1945–2023 by : Manuel Bragança
Download or read book Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe, 1945–2023 written by Manuel Bragança and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume is a sequel to, and a development of, The Long Aftermath: Cultural Legacies of Europe at War, 1936-2016 (2016). It focuses on the six major European countries and states that remained officially neutral throughout the Second World War, namely Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Vatican. Its transnational, comparative and interdisciplinary approach addresses complex questions pertaining to collective remembrance, national policies and politics, and intellectual as well as cultural responses to neutrality during and after the conflict. The contributions are from a broad range of scholars working across the disciplines of history, literature, film, media, and cultural studies. Their thought-provoking chapters challenge many assumptions about neutrality in the post-war European and global context, thereby filling a gap in the existing scholarship. Common themes that run through the volume include the intertwined and dynamic links between neutrality and moral responsibility during and after the Second World War, the importance of memory politics and popular culture in shaping collective memories, and the impact of the Holocaust in shifting traditional perspectives on neutrality since the 1990s. This volume will be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates, scholars interested in the field of memory studies, as well as non-specialist readers.
Book Synopsis Cultural Translation and Knowledge Transfer on Alternative Routes of Escape from Nazi Terror by : Susanne Korbel
Download or read book Cultural Translation and Knowledge Transfer on Alternative Routes of Escape from Nazi Terror written by Susanne Korbel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates and compares the role of artistic and academic refugees from National Socialism acting as "cultural mediators" or "agents of knowledge" between their origin and host societies. By doing so, it locates itself at the intersection of the recently emerging field of the history of knowledge, transnational history, migration, exile, as well as cultural transfer studies. The case studies provided in this volume are of global scope, focusing on routes of escape and migration to Iceland, Italy, the Near East, Portugal and Shanghai, and South-, Central-, and North America. The chapters examine the hybrid ways refugees envisaged, managed, organized, and subsequently mediated their migrations. It focuses on how they dealt with their escape in their art and science. The chapters ask how the emigrants located themselves––did they associate with ethnic, religious, and/or cultural affiliations, specific social classes, or specific parts of society—and how such identifications were portrayed in their knowledge transfer and cultural translations. Building on such possible avenues for research, this volume aims to offer a global analysis of the multifarious processes not only of cultural translation and knowledge transfer affecting culture, sciences, networks, but also everyday life in different areas of the world.

Book Synopsis The Pope at War by : David I. Kertzer
Download or read book The Pope at War written by David I. Kertzer and published by Random House. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The most important book ever written about the Catholic Church and its conduct during World War II.”—Daniel Silva “Kertzer brings all of his usual detective and narrative skills to [The Pope at War] . . . the most comprehensive account of the Vatican’s relations to the Nazi and fascist regimes before and during the war.”—The Washington Post Based on newly opened Vatican archives, a groundbreaking, explosive, and riveting book about Pope Pius XII and his actions during World War II, including how he responded to the Holocaust, by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Pope and Mussolini WINNER OF THE JULIA WARD HOWE AWARD • LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/JACQUELINE BOGRAD WELD AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker When Pope Pius XII died in 1958, his papers were sealed in the Vatican Secret Archives, leaving unanswered questions about what he knew and did during World War II. Those questions have only grown and festered, making Pius XII one of the most controversial popes in Church history, especially now as the Vatican prepares to canonize him. In 2020, Pius XII’s archives were finally opened, and David I. Kertzer—widely recognized as one of the world’s leading Vatican scholars—has been mining this new material ever since, revealing how the pope came to set aside moral leadership in order to preserve his church’s power. Based on thousands of never-before-seen documents not only from the Vatican, but from archives in Italy, Germany, France, Britain, and the United States, The Pope at War paints a new, dramatic portrait of what the pope did and did not do as war enveloped the continent and as the Nazis began their systematic mass murder of Europe’s Jews. The book clears away the myths and sheer falsehoods surrounding the pope’s actions from 1939 to 1945, showing why the pope repeatedly bent to the wills of Hitler and Mussolini. Just as Kertzer’s Pulitzer Prize–winning The Pope and Mussolini became the definitive book on Pope Pius XI and the Fascist regime, The Pope at War is destined to become the most influential account of his successor, Pius XII, and his relations with Mussolini and Hitler. Kertzer shows why no full understanding of the course of World War II is complete without knowledge of the dramatic, behind-the-scenes role played by the pope. “This remarkably researched book is replete with revelations that deserve the adjective ‘explosive,’” says Kevin Madigan, Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Harvard University. “The Pope at War is a masterpiece.”

Book Synopsis The European Left and the Jewish Question, 1848-1992 by : Alessandra Tarquini
Download or read book The European Left and the Jewish Question, 1848-1992 written by Alessandra Tarquini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how left-wing political and cultural movements in Western Europe have considered Jews in the last two hundred years. The chapters seek to answer the following question: has there been a specific way in which the Left has considered Jewish minorities? The subject has taken various shapes in the different geographical contexts, influenced by national specificities. In tandem, this volume demonstrates the extent to which left-wing movements share common trends drawn from a collective repertoire of representations and meanings. Highlighting the different aspects of the subject matter, the chapters in this book are divided in three parts, each dedicated to a major theme: the contribution of the theorists of Socialism to the Jewish Question; Antisemitism and its representations in left-wing culture; and the perception of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Taken together, these three themes allow for a multidisciplinary analysis of the relationship between the Left and Jews from the second half of the nineteenth century to recent times.
Book Synopsis The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome by : Patrick J. Gallo
Download or read book The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome written by Patrick J. Gallo and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-15 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 16, 1943, the Jews of Rome were targeted for arrest and deportation. The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome examines why—and more importantly how—it could have been avoided, featuring new evidence and insight into the Vatican’s involvement. At the time, Rome was within reach of the Allies, but the overwhelming force of the Wehrmacht, Gestapo, and SS in Rome precluded direct confrontation. Moral condemnations would not have worked, nor would direct confrontation by the Italians, Jewish leadership, or even the Vatican. Gallo underscores the necessity of determining what courses of actions most likely would have spared Italian Jews from the gas chambers. Examining the historical context and avoiding normative or counterfactual assertions, this book draws upon archival sources ranging from diaries to intelligence intercepts in English, Italian, and German. With antisemitism on the rise today and the last remaining witnesses passing away, it is essential to understand what happened in 1943. The Nazis, the Vatican, and the Jews of Rome grapples with this particular, awful episode within the larger, horrifying story of the Holocaust. Despite the inadequacy of memory, we must continue to attempt to make sense of the inexplicable.

Book Synopsis Père Marie-Benoît and Jewish Rescue by : Susan Zuccotti
Download or read book Père Marie-Benoît and Jewish Rescue written by Susan Zuccotti and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Zuccotti narrates the life and work of Père Marie-Benoît, a courageous French Capuchin priest who risked everything to hide Jews in France and Italy during the Holocaust. Who was this extraordinary priest and how did he become adept at hiding Jews, providing them with false papers, and helping them to elude their persecutors? From monasteries first in Marseille and later in Rome, Père Marie-Benoît worked with Jewish co-conspirators to build remarkably effective Jewish-Christian rescue networks. Acting independently without Vatican support but with help from some priests, nuns, and local citizens, he and his friends persisted in their clandestine work until the Allies liberated Rome. After the conflict, Père Marie-Benoît maintained his wartime Jewish friendships and devoted the rest of his life to Jewish Christian reconciliation. Papal officials viewed both activities unfavorably until after the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), 1962-1965. To tell this remarkable tale, in addition to her research in French and Italian archives, Zuccotti personally interviewed Père Marie-Benoît, his family, Jewish rescuers with whom he worked, and survivors who owed their lives to his network.

Book Synopsis The Chief Rabbi, the Pope, and the Holocaust by : Wallace P. Sillanpoa
Download or read book The Chief Rabbi, the Pope, and the Holocaust written by Wallace P. Sillanpoa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1945, Israele Zolli, chief rabbi of Rome's ancient Jewish community, shocked his co-religionists in Italy and throughout the Jewish world by converting to Catholicism and taking as his baptismal name, Eugenio, to honor Pope Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli) for what Zolli saw as his great humanitarianism toward the Jews during the Holocaust. Almost a half a century after his conversion, Zolli still evokes anger and embarrassment in Italy's Jewish community. This book is the first authoritative treatment of this astonishing story. What induced Zolli to embrace Catholicism will probably never be known. Nonetheless, by painstaking scholarly detective work, through interviews in Italy and elsewhere, through the unearthing of private papers not previous known to exist, and through the study of previous inaccessible archival materials, the authors have succeeded in explaining why Zolli left the Jewish fold and joined the Catholic Church. Like Zolli's rabbinical career, Pius XII's long pontificate tells us much about the Church of Rome and its relationship to the Jewish people, particularly with reference to the issue of conversion. The authors focus on the pontiff's World War II policies vis-A-vis the Jews, a subject that has been heatedly debated since Rolf Hochhuth's The Deputy was performed in the early 1960s. What Pacelli knew abut the extermination of the Jews and when he knew it, what he said and failed to say, are given special attention in this book. Through the examination of previous scholarship and primary materials (including Pius XI's encyclical on race and anti-Semitism, Pacelli's behavior is evaluated to determine if Zolli accurately gauged the Holy Father's efforts to save Jews. This saga of the two Eugenios will interest historians of the Second World War and the Holocaust and students of history alike.
