Kindertransport - rescue from the death camps and the search for identity
No full textPredmet rada je Kindertransport, spasavanje dece, većinom jevrejskog porekla sa prostora koje je okupirala Nemačka pre i početkom Drugog svetskog rata. Transport se odvijao od 1938. do 1940. godine, kada je u Veliku Britaniju prebačeno i spaseno više od 10.000 dece. U ovom radu ćemo se osvrnuti na političku situaciju u Nemačkoj tog doba, neke od istaknutih ličnosti koje su pomogle da se deca bezbedno prebace van domašaja nacista, kao i postupak i smeštanje dece u nove dodeljene porodice. Cilj rada je osvrt na temu, o kojoj se posle samog transporta nije mnogo znalo, koja je pala u zaborav, sve do 80-ih i 90-ih godina XX veka, kada deca, sada odrasli ljudi, počinju da dele svoje priče, traume i iskustva.Following Jacques Austerlitz, the hero from the novel of the same name, through the Narrator, we embark on a journey of discovery, identity and the phenomenon of the Kindertransport that took place over two years when over 10,000, mostly Jewish, children were rescued from the territories occupied by Germany. The parents of these children were already placed in concentration camps or killed. The children were transferred to Great Britain and placed with new, substitute families. It was intended for them to be reunited with their old families after the war, but at that moment, the extent was not yet known of the disaster and the Holocaust that would have happened to members of the Jewish community. Only years later would many children begin to search for their lost families and reveal their stories and traumas caused by leaving their loved ones at an early age
Služenje prošlosti: porodične priče Jasminke Domaš kao primer postmemorijskih narativa
No full textThe paper analyses a section of the Jewish triptych edited by Jasminka Domaš and comprising "Obitelj-Mishpaha", "Glasovi, sjećanja, život: Prilog istraživanju povijesti židovskih obitelji" and "Ako tebe zaboravim: Prilog istraživanju povijesti židovskih obitelji". The focus is on the most recent volume, "Ako tebe zaboravim" (2018), which presents family accounts from members of the second and third generation of Holocaust survivors, as well as from those who survived the Holocaust as children in Croatia. The paper begins by outlining the defining characteristics of these narratives and the themes recurring throughout the collected stories. These elements allow Croatian narratives to be placed within a transnational model of postmemory storytelling. The article also highlights motifs that demonstrate both the originality of the accounts gathered by Domaš and their dependence on local historical and social contexts. In the final section, the paper provides a detailed analysis of two accounts that stand out from the rest of the volume.Rad analizira deo jevrejskog triptiha koji je priredila Jasminka Domaš, a koji obuhvata "Obitelj-Mišpaha", "Glasovi, sećanja, život: Prilog istraživanju povesti židovskih porodica" i "Ako tebe zaboravim: Prilog istraživanju povesti židovskih porodica". Fokus je na najnovijem tomu, "Ako tebe zaboravim" (2018), koji predstavlja porodična svedočanstva članova druge i treće generacije preživelih Holokausta, kao i onih koji su preživeli Holokaust kao deca u Hrvatskoj. Rad počinje iznošenjem karakteristika koje definišu ove narativa i tema koje se ponavljaju kroz sakupljene priče. Ovi elementi omogućavaju da se hrvatski narativi smeste u transnacionalni model postmemorijskog pripovedanja. Članak takođe ističe motive koji pokazuju originalnost svedočanstava koje je Domaš prikupila i njihovu zavisnost od lokalnih istorijskih i društvenih konteksta. U završnom odeljku, rad pruža detaljnu analizu dva svedočanstva koja se izdvajaju od ostatka knjige
The Voice of B’nai B’rith "Gavro Schwartz": Magazine of Jewish Culture, Civilization and History, no. 39, November 2025
No full textTrideset deveti broj “Glasnika” donosi tekstove koji se bave snovima - tu je “San o ljubavi i smrti” Filipa Davida, ali i glazbeni snovi židovskih skladatelja, od kojih su mnogi završili u egzilu tijekom nacizma, a zatim u nevjerojatno nepovoljnim povijesnim okolnostima ostvarili uspješne karijere; tu su i snovi židovskih šahista, koji svijet promatraju na jedan potpuno drugi način, postižući uspjehe u toj naizgled jednostavnoj, a zapravo vrlo kompleksnoj igri! Tu je također i san jednog đakovačkog rabina – kao i snovi o Eretz Izraelu...The thirty-nine issue of “Glasnik” brings texts that deal with dreams - there is “The Dream of Love and Death” by Filip David, but also the musical dreams of Jewish composers, many of whom ended up in exile during Nazism and then achieved successful careers in incredibly unfavourable historical circumstances; there are also the dreams of Jewish chess players, who view the world in a completely different way, achieving success in this seemingly simple but actually very complex game! There is also the dream of a rabbi from Đakovo – as well as dreams about Eretz Israel...Tema broja: Milenijski san (the theme of this issue: Milenial dream).Časopis "Glasnik B'nai B'rith", Hrvatska dostupan je na Internet stranici [https://www.bnaibrith.hr]The magazine "The Voice of B’nai B’rith," Croatia, is available on the website [https://www.bnaibrith.hr
A new language of humanism - beyond the limits of speech?
No full textSuočavanje sa Holokaustom kao radikalnim prekidom unutar istorijskog, etičkog i jezičkog kontinuiteta dovodi u pitanje ne samo moć ljudskog govora već i samu mogućnost opstanka humanizma. U svetu u kome je jezik bio ne samo nemi svedok već i saučesnik zločina postavlja se pitanje da li je moguće artikulisati novi diskurs koji će se nalaziti izvan zamki ideološke instrumentalizacije i kako doći do jezika kojim bi se takav diskurs mogao konstruisati. Cilj takvog jezika bio bi stvaranje sveta u kome se Holokaust više nikada ne bi mogao ponoviti. Rad nastoji da pronađe odgovore na postavljena pitanja, tragajući za njima u dijalogu sa delima filozofa i teoretičara Holokausta, prateći nit koja spaja ćutanje i svedočenje, (ne)objašnjivost i potrebu za pronalaskom smisla, kao i potencijal postmodernističke misli da preosmisli ulogu čoveka u svetu. Na taj način, mogućnost novog humanizma sa svojim novim jezikom postaje uslovljena spremnošću da dovedemo u pitanje same oblike postojećeg govora i mišljenja.The Holocaust, as a radical rupture in the historical, ethical, and linguistic continuum, calls into question
not only the power of human speech but also the very viability of humanism. In a world where language
functioned not only as a silent witness but also as an accomplice, and even a precondition, of an atrocity, the question arises: is it possible to articulate a discourse that escapes ideological instrumentalization? And if so, what kind of language would be required to make such a discourse possible? This work explores the limits and potential of language after Auschwitz, examining the tension between testimony and silence and inexplicability and yearning for meaning. Drawing on philosophical and theoretical approaches to the Holocaust, it considers whether a new form of humanism might emerge from this linguistic and moral crisis, one no longer grounded in the affirmation of the Western subject but in the recognition of vulnerability, ethical responsibility, and the irreducibility of the Other. Through engagement with thinkers such as Adorno, Arendt, Lyotard, Foucault, Heidegger, and Sartre, the analysis interrogates the historical complicity of discourse, the structure of trauma, and the epistemological gaps that persist in Holocaust representation. Postmodern thought is examined both for its critical insight and its risks, particularly regarding the stability of meaning and the potential for ethical relativism. Ultimately, the possibility of a new humanism with its language depends on our willingness to question the very foundations of thought and speech
Traces of the Holocaust in Danilo Kiš’s novel “Garden, ashes”
No full textCilj ovog rada jeste da prikaže tragove Holokausta koji se suptilno pronalaze u romanu "Bašta, pepeo" Danila Kiša kao i da analizira oblik i funkciju njihovog pojavljivanja u romanu. Rad će pokazati kako Kiš, provlačeći teme nacizma i Holokausta samo kroz tragove u svom romanu, zapravo piše o samoj suštini Holokausta, genocida, smrti i nestajanja i otvara naratološki prostor za iskazivanje traume koju sve to prouzrokuje. Taj prostor se otvara kroz diskurzivni oblik i forme koje ovaj autor koristi kako bi, bez imenovanja stvari, pustio da iz tišine progovori sama suština, nestanka, stradanja.The goal of this paper is to highlight the traces of the Holocaust which subtly appear in the novel "Garden, Ashes" by Danilo Kis and analyze the form and function of their appearance. The paper will demonstrate how Kiš, subtly hinting at themes of Nazism and the Holocaust through traces in his novel, actually writes about the very essence of what the Holocaust, genocide, death and disappearance are, and opens up a narratological
space for expressing the trauma all these things cause. This space is opening through discursive shapes and forms which this author uses to, without naming things, allow the very essence of disappearance and suffering to speak through the silence
The position of Jews in Serbia and Romania in 1867. according to British diplomatic sources
No full textU ovom radu se komparativno posmatraju okolnosti života jevrejske zajednice u Rumuniji i Srbiji. Uprkos nesrazmernomj veličini jevrejske zajedenice, autori prate povezanost ovih kneževina po pitanju rešavanja jevrejskog pitanja, odnosno intenzivne aktivnosti britanske diplomatije da bude medijator u rešavanju ovog pitanja. Osnov za komparaciju autori vide u povezanosti odnosa britanskih diplomata prema Srbiji i Rumuniji, odnosno smanjenju pritiska na srpsku vladu i kneza Mihaila nakon što su se u Rumuniji intenzivirali progoni Jevreja u toku leta 1867. godine. Autori posebnu pažnju posvećuju društvenopolitičkom kontestu budući da su obe države u periodu 1866-1867 prolazile kroz turbulentan period: u Bukureštu je 1866. godine donet ustav koji je imao diskriminatorske odredbe prema Jevrejima, dok su u Srbiji i dalje važili zakoni prema Jevrejima koji su im ograničavali privredne aktivnosti, u Srbiji je početkom 1867. došlo do predaje gradova srpskim vlastima. Sudeći po britanskim izvorima iz The National Archives (TNA) Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva koji su korišćeni kao osnova ovog rada, događaji koji su se odigrali u Srbiji i Rumuniji bili su važni Ministarstvu spoljnih poslova Velike Britanije, kao i najvažnijim jevrejskim organizacijama i pojedincima. Udruženim snagama oni su pokušali da ublaže diskriminišući položaj Jevreja u Srbiji i Rumuniji što je fokus ovog rada.This paper compares the life circumstances of the Jewish community in Romania and Serbia. Despite the disproportionate size of the Jewish community, the authors follow the connection of these principalities in terms of solving the Jewish question, that is, the intensive activities of British diplomacy to mediate in solving this issue. The authors see the basis for the comparison in the connection between the relations of British diplomats towards Serbia and Romania, that is, the reduction of pressure on the Serbian government and Prince Mihailo after the persecution of Jews intensified in Romania in the summer of 1867. The authors pay special attention to the socio-political context since both countries were going through a turbulent period in the period 1866-1867: in Bucharest, in 1866, a constitution was passed that had discriminatory provisions against Jews, while in Serbia, laws against Jews that restricted their economic activities were still valid. In Serbia, in early 1867, cities were handed over to the Serbian authorities. Judging by the British sources from The National Archives (TNA) of the United Kingdom used as the basis of this work, the events that took place in Serbia and Romania were important to the Foreign Office of Great Britain, as well as to the most important Jewish organizations and individuals. With joint forces, they tried to alleviate the discriminatory position of Jews in Serbia and Romania, which is the focus of this work
Jews in space
No full textU okviru aktivnosti „Zoom Šabata“, u organizaciji Jevrejske opštine Beograd i tehničkoj realizaciji Rake-Rahamima Levija, 23. maja 2025. godine gost i predavač “Zooma” bio je upravo Raka Levi, domaćin i urednik Zooma. Ovde je predstavljena samo PDF prezentacija. Njegovo izlaganje se odnosilo na zanimljive informacije o Jevrejima kosmonautima. Oni su bili iz Rusije, SAD-a i Izraela. U prezentaciji su predstavljeni ne samo kosmonauti, već i oni Jevreji čiji se „rad“ doticao teme svemira. Reč je o autorima časopisa naučne fantastike, knjiga o svemiru, filmskih glumaca i režisera i jednog astronoma/astrologa iz 14. veka koji se bavio temom svemira.As part of the “Zoom Shabbat” program, organised by the Jewish Community of Belgrade and technically supported by Raka-Rahamin Levi, the guest speaker on May 23, 2025, was Raka Levi himself - the host and editor of the Zoom series. This presentation, available here in PDF format only, focused on Jewish individuals connected to space exploration. It highlighted Jewish astronauts from Russia, the United States, and Israel, as well as lesser-known figures whose work touched on the cosmos - including science fiction writers, authors of space-themed books, filmmakers, and even a 14th-century Jewish astronomer-astrologer. The presentation offered a unique blend of biographical, scientific, and cultural insights into the Jewish presence in the history and imagination of space.Predavanje održano 23. maja 2025. godine preko Zoom platforme (Zoom Šabat) sa početkom u 19.30 časova.The lecture was held on May 23, 2025, via the Zoom platform (Zoom Shabbat) starting at 7:30 p.m
MIRA: dugotrajna nepoznanica iz Šoaha iznenada odgonetnuta!
No full textThis is the story of Mira, the girl at the famous, iconic, miraculously preserved photograph, in fact, a series of three photographs taken one after the other from the different angles. The camera faithfully recorded the figure of this innocent, gentle young girl, her lovely fragility. But throughout the following decades the question, which I also often asked myself, remained unanswered: what happened to that girl? Is at least her name known to anyone? It has been one of the unsolved topics until now. The „sign” on her clothes itself obviously belongs to the area and time of the Nazi-collaborating Ustasha regime of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH, April 1941-May 1945). I recently discovered the end, and a happy one, to a miraculous and previously unknown story about the girl with the „Jewish sign” on her clothes.Ovo je priča o Miri, djevojčici sa „židovskim znakom” na odjeći, koju su tijekom niza godina vidjeli gotovo svi autori koji se bave poviješću Šoaha. Poznata je to, ikonička, čudom sačuvana fotografija, zapravo niz od tri fotografije snimljene jedna za drugom iz tri rakursa. Kamera je vjerno zabilježila lik bezazlene, nježne djevojčice, njezinu ljupku krhkost, ali je tijekom svih sljedećih desetljeća ostalo neodgovoreno pitanje koje sam i sama sebi postavljala: što se dogodilo s tom djevojčicom, zna li joj se barem ime? Bila je to sve dosad jedna od neodgonetnutih tema: tko je djevojčica sa „židovskim znakom” na odjeći. Doživjela sam veliku profesionalnu i ljudsku nagradu i čast: otkrila sam kraj, i to sretan kraj jedne čudesne i dosad nepoznate priče.Link na tekst na hrvatskom jeziku [https://www.jevrejskadigitalnabiblioteka.rs/handle/123456789/3269
