How Oct. 7 Upended One Man's Diary Original
DIARY OF A CRISIS: Israel in Turmoil, by Saul Friedländer "What sort of diary should I like mine to be?" Virginia Woolf asked - in her diary - in 1919, before attempting an answer: "Something loose knit, & yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace any thing, solemn, slight or beautiful that comes into my mind." The immediacy of writing without much time for reflection ensured a welcome mode of unthinking, Woolf observed.
Saul Friedländer : 'Israël, de la crise à la tragédie'
29 janvier [2023] Hier, Avihu Zakai, ancien professeur d’histoire à l’Université hébraïque, m’a envoyé la citation suivante de l’historien israélien Yaakov Talmon, auteur de Les Origines de la démocratie totalitaire: « J’ai commencé en tant que membre de “Hashomer Hatzaïr” (« La jeune garde », un mouvement politique sioniste et marxiste), dans une atmosphère chargée d’émotions, sous le feu croisé des deux camps : une aspiration messianique émanant d’Europe de l’Est et un feu sioniste...

Pregiudizi minori per gli ebrei dell'Est meno acculturati
NEWS ItaliaOggi - Numero 051 pag. 10 del 29/02/2024 politica Estratti significativi dai testi di autori che meritano di essere conosciuti Alcune distinzioni caratterizzavano la scena ebraica europea a cavallo tra le due guerre mondiali. La principale linea divisoria correva tra gli ebrei dell'Europa orientale e quelli dell'Europa occidentale; per quanto di natura in parte geografica, la sua espressione più manifesta era culturale.
Heidegger smise di correggere le tesi dei giovani ebrei
Martin Heidegger [filosofo nazista e antisemita, poi osannato da post-marxisti] era diventato rettore dell’Università di Friburgo nell’aprile del 1933. Già in passato era intervenuto sul tema della presenza degli ebrei negli atenei tedeschi.
Cercavano il sangue tipico degli ebrei. Non lo trovarono
All'inizio era opinione ampiamente diffusa nel partito che fosse possibile individuare criteri razziali scientifici per identificare gli ebrei.
Saul Friedländer : Un crime fondamental
Un ami m’a recommandé de lire l’essai Der Katechismus der Deutschen [Le catéchisme des Allemands] de l’historien et chercheur australien sur le génocide A. Dirk Moses, paru le 23 mai dernier dans le magazine suisse en ligne Geschichte der Gegenwart [Histoire du présent].
Z+ (abopflichtiger Inhalt); Holocaustgedenken : Ein fundamentales Verbrechen
Ein Freund empfahl mir, den Essay Der Katechismus der Deutschen des australischen Historikers und Genozid-Forschers A. Dirk Moses zu lesen, der am 23. Mai in dem Schweizer Online-Magazin Geschichte der Gegenwart erschienen ist. Und in der Tat, die Lektüre hat mir die Augen für einige der neuen Debatten geöffnet, die in Deutschland und darüber hinaus über die historische Bedeutung des Holocausts im Verhältnis zur gesamten Geschichte der kolonialen Gewalt in postkolonialer Lesart geführt werden.
Proust in person by Eric Ormsby
Of the multitudinous characters who populate the seven volumes of In Search of Lost Time, all indelibly depicted, none is more elusive in the end than the one we know the most about, whether we think of him as Proust himself or “the Narrator.” There is an “uncertainty” seemingly built into the narrative structure of the novel, the first and most significant of several that the acclaimed Israeli historian of the Holocaust Saul Friedländer explores in this brilliant extended essay on Proust and...
How to Write Your Jewish Memoir
“Blessed are You, Sovereign of the universe, who fashions within our minds the gift of memory, and who grants us the ability to remember.” Five years ago on Rosh HaShanah morning, as the morning sunlight filtered through the stained glass windows of Temple Emanu-El’s sanctuary in Sarasota, FL, I glanced up from my prayerbook and looked out over the crowd of worshippers sitting around me and saw so many faces in our community that I didn’t recognize. I wondered: Where had they come from?
Who is the Narrator of Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time?
There have been many attempts to define the “Me” used by the Narrator in Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time. As the linguist Leo Spitzer put it, “this Me seems to be situated at greater depth [than the narrating Me and the acting Me]; he has left the surface of the story in an inaccessible deep level” (I thank Carlo Ginzburg for drawing my attention to the importance of this essay).
Proustian Uncertainties
On Reading and Rereading In Search of Lost Time A Pulitzer Prize–winning historian revisits Marcel Proust’s masterpiece in this essay on literature and memory, exploring the question of identity—that of the novel’s narrator and Proust’s own. This engaging reexamination of In Search of Lost Time considers how the narrator defines himself, how this compares to what we know of Proust himself, and what the significance is of these various points of commonality and divergence.

A Different Kafka | by John Banville
What are we to make of Kafka? Not, surely, what he made of himself, or at least what he would have us believe he made of himself.
Saul Friedländer’s Many Lives
In Canto 16 of the Inferno, Dante’s pilgrim encounters three shades. Wounded and burned, they were once esteemed members of the Florentine nobility. The narrator pauses to engage them in conversation, and they are moved by his eloquence.
The Trauma of the Gifted Child
Somewhere a child is being hidden. The time is mid-July, 1942, and the first great roundup of Jews—more than thirteen thousand foreign Jews in all, including four thousand children—has begun in Paris, to be followed by more arrests days later in the unoccupied zones.
Nazi Germany and the Jews, Vol. 1: The Years of Persecution
Friedlander's lifelong work on Nazism and the fate of the Jews in the twentieth century culminates in this volume. Hitler's obsession with the Jews was the most extreme form of "redemptive" anti-Semitism, different from (albeit related to) classical Christian anti-Semitism.
