Monroe Isadore Nachman Oral History Interview
No full textMonroe Monty Nachman was a member of the 103rd Infantry Division, which liberated Landsberg on April 27, 1945. The camp consisted of several huts inside a wire fence, with bodies all over the place; they could smell the camp long before they saw it. Nachman spoke with a few of the prisoners while they were there, which was about an hour. About forty-five minutes after they left, they found a death march on its way to Dachau and killed the SS guards. After the war, Nachman was assigned to the Counter Intelligence Corps, serving as an interpreter. In this interview, Nachman also discusses his life after the war and the effect it has had on him over the last sixty-five years. He is very active at his local VA and with the Jewish War Veterans
Nachman Zonabend 1939-1944
No full textThe records reflect the organizational structure of the Jewish ghetto administration and consist of the following: Correspondence with German government agencies, 1939-1941, including the Police and Gestapo, the *Oberburgermeister* of Litzmannstadt (German name for Lodz), the *Gettoverwaltung* (German administration of the ghetto). The correspondence pertains to the establishment of the ghetto, expropriation of Jewish property, resettlement of Lodz Jews into the ghetto, sanitary conditions, ghetto industry, anti-Jewish ordinances. Announcements issued by Rumkowski, 1940-1944. A complete set of daily communications to the ghetto population on all subjects pertinent to ghetto life such as: confiscations of Jewish property, food rationing, availability of work, relief distribution, deportations, liquidation of the ghetto. Files of various departments of the Jewish ghetto administration including labor divisions and workshops, the Jewish police (*Ordnungsdienst*), Statistics Department, Ghetto Court, Archives, Resettlement Department, Deportation Commission. Of special interest are the Archives files which contain essays and reports written by the Archives staff expressly for the purpose of historical record on subjects related to ghetto life. Outstanding in this group are reports and literary sketches by Joseph Zelkowicz, including his extensive account about the *Gesperre* (Yid. Shpere) - the deportation of the children, the old and the infirm in September, 1942. In addition, the Archives files contain bulletins of the *Daily Chronicle* of the Lodz Ghetto, transcripts of speeches by Rumkowski, and issues of the *Geto-tsaytung*, a short-lived official publication of the Eldest of the Jews. Iconographic materials, including photographs and albums. The photographs taken by Mendel Grossman, Henryk Ross, Maliniak, Zonabend and others, provide an extensive visual record of ghetto life.YIVO-published inventory, English:"Documents of the Lodz Ghetto".Nachman Zonabend was an inmate of the Lodz Ghetto from 1940 to 1945. In August 1944, following the liquidation of the ghetto, the Germans assigned him to a work unit whose task was to clean up the deserted ghetto. He succeeded in hiding parts of the ghetto archives, as well as photographs and art works of ghetto photographers and artists. He recovered these materials after the liberation of Lodz in January 1945. In 1947, Nachman Zonabend donated the bulk of his collection to the YIVO Archives. These are fragmentary records of the Eldest of the Jews of the Lodz Ghetto, by which name the Jewish ghetto administration was known. The ghetto was established by the Nazis on February 8, 1940, and Chaim Mordechai Rumkowski became its powerful Eldest of the Jews. He retained this office until the final liquidation of the ghetto and his own deportation to Auschwitz on August 29, 1944
Genetic diversity in the Nachman strains.
No full text(A) Heatmap displaying the number of pairwise SNP differences between Nachman lines. Counts derive from the autosomal genome fraction only and exclude unplaced contigs. (B) PC analysis of autosomal genetic diversity partitions the Nachman lines by sample location and isolates Nachman strains from the CI mouse strains. (C) Maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree constructed from SNPs on chr19. The CI strains form a single clade nested within the diversity sampled by the Nachman strains.</p

This workbook contains three spreadsheets that summarize the predicted effects of single-nucleotide variants ascertained in the Nachman strains.
No full textThe first sheet (“SNPs”) summarizes the number of variants of different predicted functional classes in the Nachman strains. Numbers are presented for all variants in the Nachman strains and the subset of variants that are private to the Nachman strains and not observed in classical inbred strains included in the Mouse Genomes Project. The second spreadsheet (“HIGH Nachman Private”) lists SNPs private to the Nachman strains (i.e., not present in Mouse Genomes Project data) with HIGH predicted functional impact. Impacted genes, their associated Gene Ontology terms, and strains carrying the predicted deleterious allele are also included. The third spreadsheet (“GO Analysis”) presents the output of a GO enrichment analysis on genes in the “HIGH Nachman Private” spreadsheet against all genes in the M. musculus genome. (XLSX)</p

The color legend in (A) applies to all panels. In each panel, Nachman strains are indicated by red bars along the x-axis and boxplots for C57BL/6J mice are marked by black boxes. C57BL/6J mice phenotyped as controls alongside the Nachman strains are denoted as “C57BL/6J-NACH”; C57BL/6J animals phenotyped in other studies are indicated by the x-axis label “C57BL/6J”. (TIF)</p
Le storie di Rabbi Nachman. Prefazione
No full textAll’interno del volume indicato, il presente saggio analizza il primo volume chassidico di Martin Buber, “Le storie di Rabbi Nachman” (1906). Ne ricostruisce la genesi, ripercorre l’enorme lavoro filologico e traduttivo condotto da Buber sui vari testimoni dell’originale ebraico, esamina i risultati linguistici e narrativi in tedesco, osserva le studiate e significative divergenze dall’originale. Ricompone la storia della ricezione del volume presso le élites intellettuali e il pubblico di lingua tedesca – ebreo e non ebreo – del primo ventennio del XX secolo. Studia soprattutto, oltre al valore letterario dell’opera, i risvolti culturali e politici della sua pubblicazione. Martin Buber è infatti il primo ad aver introdotto nella cultura di lingua tedesca la mistica ebraica (allora totalmente sconosciuta in Occidente) e in particolare il movimento chassidico. “Le storie di Rabbi Nachman” sono il primo passo della formidabile operazione culturale di Martin Buber: il recupero e la valorizzazione di una Mitteleuropa ebraica sconosciuta nella temperie della cosiddetta “Jüdische Renaissance”, ossia nella battaglia del sionismo culturale – la cui paternità è dello stesso Buber – per ricostruire l’identità perduta degli ebrei della diaspora e per recuperare una tradizione dimenticata e rimasta sepolta sotto i colpi della modernità e del progresso. Alla coscienza degli ebrei dell’assimilazione, che avevano ripudiato il passato, i racconti dei grandi mistici chassidici dovevano far riaffiorare un mondo di creatività e spiritualità ebraica che li convincesse della forza della loro cultura. Ai tedeschi non ebrei, quei racconti dovevano svelare l’esistenza di correnti culturali di grande valore all’interno di un’ ”etnia” e di una “confessione” – i loro connazionali ebrei – che fino a quel momento era stata giudicata sterile, inutile e destinata soltanto ad essere ignorata
A multiscale theory for image registration and nonlinear inverse problems
No full textIn an influential paper, Tadmor et al. (2004) [42] introduced a hierarchical decomposition of an image as a sum of constituents of different scales. Here we construct analogous hierarchical expansions for diffeomorphisms, in the context of image registration, with the sum replaced by composition of maps. We treat this as a special case of a general framework for multiscale decompositions, applicable to a wide range of imaging and nonlinear inverse problems. As a paradigmatic example of the latter, we consider the Calderón inverse conductivity problem. We prove that we can simultaneously perform a numerical reconstruction and a multiscale decomposition of the unknown conductivity, driven by the inverse problem itself. We provide novel convergence proofs which work in the general abstract settings, yet are sharp enough to prove that the hierarchical decomposition of Tadmor, Nezzar and Vese converges for arbitrary functions in L 2 , a problem left open in their paper. We also give counterexamples that show the optimality of our general results
