S. Culture Infiltration Seen as world Zionism Aim<br> - Israel has No Rights Authority Over Lives of U.S. Jews Rosenwald Says: Assumptions in Ben-Gurion's Knesset Speech Rejected by Head of American Council for Judaism<br> <br> "The American Council for Judaism ACJ is an organization of American Jews committed to the proposition that Jews are not a national but a religious group adhering to the original stated principles of Reform Judaism as articulated in the 1885 Pittsburgh Platform. In particular it is notable for its historical opposition to Zionism. Although it has since moderated its stance on the issue it still advocates that American Jews distance themselves from Israel politically and does not view Israel as a universal Jewish homeland.<br> The rabbis of Reform Judaism had opposed Zionism prior to World War I supporting freedom democracy and equal rights for Jews in the countries where they lived. The influential American Jewish Committee was also anti-Zionist until 1918 when it shifted to a non-Zionist platform until the 1967 Six-Day War. The Central Conference of American Rabbis of the Reform movement declared itself officially neutral on Zionism in 1937.<br> In 1942 a split within the Reform movement occurred due to the passage of a resolution by some rabbis endorsing the raising of a 'Jewish Army' in Palestine to fight alongside the Allies of World War II. The American and British general staffs opposed placing Jews in segregated armed forces.The founders of the American Council for Judaism regarded the potential segregation of Jews to be a highly regressive and harmful measure.<br> The ACJ was founded in June 1942 by a group of leading Reform rabbis including six former presidents of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the president of the Hebrew Union College as well as laymen who opposed the creation of a religiously segregated Jewish Army to fight alongside the Allies and the new political direction of some in their movement including but not limited to on the issue of Zionism as redefined by the Biltmore Program in May 1942.The leading rabbis included Louis Wolsey Morris Lazaron Abraham Cronbach David Philipson and Henry Cohen but their most vocal representative for a time became Elmer Berger who became the council's Executive Director.<br> The ACJ described itself as anti-nationalist and followed a universalist interpretation of Jewish history and destiny. According to its statement of principles the ACJ supported the 'rehabilitation' of Palestine and did not support political Zionism. It also declared that 'Jewish nationalism tends to confuse our fellowmen about our place and function in society and diverts our own attention from our historic role to live as a religious community wherever we may dwell.' The ACJ's leaders felt that they represented the views of a majority of American Jews and began a large membership drive. By 1946 it had numerous local chapters throughout the United States and regional offices in Richmond Chicago Dallas and San Francisco.<br> During World War II the council was active in opposing Zionism. In 1944 it protested the formation of the Jewish Brigade by the British Army which was composed of Palestinian Jews led by British-Jewish officers.it stated that.'Americans of the Jewish faith are and always have been in the American armed forces. The flag of Americans of the Jewish faith is the Stars and Stripes.'<br> While protesting the White Paper of 1939 which imposed strict limits on Jewish immigration to Palestine and land purchases in the country it also opposed 'Zionist nationalism' and urged American Jews to 'organize in strength out of deep concern for oppressed Jews everywhere behind a non-nationalistic program to deal with the total Jewish problem.' <br> It declared that 'Beyond the abrogation of the White Paper lies the need for a basic solution. That solution we believe can come only when there is world wide recognition of the rights of Jews to full equality. It can come in Palestine only when the pretensions to Jewish Statehood are abandoned and we seek instead freedom of migration opportunity based on incontestable rights and not on special privilege.<br> We look forward to the ultimate establishment of a democratic autonomous government in Palestine wherein Jews Moslems and Christians shall be justly represented; every man enjoying equal rights and sharing equal responsibilities; a democratic government in which our fellow Jews shall be free Palestinians whose religion is Judaism even as we are Americans whose religion is Judaism.'<br> Following World War II with the question of Palestine's future being considered the ACJ continued to support a joint Jewish-Arab state rather than a Jewish state in Palestine and opposed dispossessing the Arabs who were then living in Palestine.<br> The presidency of the ACJ was accepted by the well-known philanthropist Lessing J. Rosenwald who took the lead in urging the creation of a unitary democratic state in Mandatory Palestine in American policy-making circles. Rosenwald testified before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in 1946 urged the creation of a unitary Jewish-Arab state in Palestine and allowing Jewish immigration to Palestine to continue only upon 'renunciation of the claim that Jews possess unlimited national right to the land and that the country shall take the form of a racial or theocratic state' and said that the United States and other UN member states should allow more Jewish immigration to solve the European-Jewish refugee problem.<br> It later endorsed the Committee of Inquiry's recommendations including that Palestine become neither a Jewish or Arab state and the admittance of 100000 Jewish refugees into Palestine. In addition it opposed the establishment of a Jewish state anywhere else in the world not just in Palestine. The ACJ's official position was that European Jews should be rehabilitated by restoring their civil political and economic security. <br> During the Jewish insurgency in Palestine a campaign against the British by Jewish underground groups in Palestine the Haganah Irgun and Lehi the ACJ opposed what it viewed as Jewish terrorism. Following the King David Hotel bombing it issued a statement calling for American Jews to 'repudiate the perpetrators of those outrages and those leaders of Jews in and out of Palestine whose incitement is equally responsible.' In a statement Lessing Rosenwald called for the American Jewish community to condition any further assistance to the Yishuv Palestinian Jewry on the end of violence.<br> After the State of Israel declared independence in 1948 the ACJ continued its anti-Zionist campaign.<br> Its position was that to American Jews Israel was not the state or homeland of the Jewish people but merely a foreign country. In December 1948 Lessing Rosenwald urged that the US condition friendship with Israel on Israel building an inclusive Israeli nationalism confined to its own borders and inclusive of its Muslim and Christian citizens rather than Jewish nationalism.<br> The ACJ switched its focus to battling what it viewed as its primary foe-the political influence of Zionism upon American Jewry. In addition to supporting a network of religious schools committed to Classical Reform Judaism the Council fought American-Jewish fundraising for Israel and agitated against the merging of Zionist fund-raising organizations with local Jewish community boards provided financial aid to Jews emigrating from Israel and to Palestinian refugees and enjoyed friendly relations with the Eisenhower State Department under John Foster Dulles. <br> The ACJ also vocally supported the efforts of William Fulbright to have the lobbyists for Israel in the United States legally registered as foreign agents. In 1955 the ACJ's head Elmer Berger advocated the complete assimilation of Jews into American life by switching the Jewish Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday creating a new menorah to 'reflect the appreciation of American Jews of the freedom of life in the United States' and for the interpretation of the holiday of Sukkot 'to be broadened to take on meaning to all citizens of an industrial society.'<br> In 1957 the Union of American Hebrew Congregations now known as the Union for Reform Judaism denounced the American Council for Judaism. In a statement the UAHC alleged that the ACJ misrepresented classical Reform Judaism undermined the unity of the Reform movement questioned the national loyalty of Jews who supported Zionism aided antisemites and 'played directly into the hands of Arab propagandists'.<br> Jewish intellectuals who at one time or another passed through the Council included David Riesman Hans Kohn Erich Fromm Hannah Arendt Will Herberg Morrie Ryskind Frank Chodorov and Murray Rothbard. Among the notable gentile friends of the council were Dorothy Thompson Norman Thomas Freda Utley Arnold J. Toynbee and Dwight Macdonald.

175343176London: “Reprinted by the Citizens of London†1753. Second edition. Modern attractive green cloth with title in gilt on spine. Small 8vo 8 5-67 pages. Roth Bibliotheca Anglo-Judaica p. 222 no. 102; Hyamson Bibliography of Pamphlets Relating to the Jew Bill of 1753 in: TJHSE Vol. VI 1908-1910 p. 181 no. 24.Halkett and Laing I 95.An example of the backlash to the short-lived Jew Bill of 1753. In the year 1609 the naturalization of any foreigner settled in England was made contingent on receiving the Sacrament. Although this act was deliberately directed against Catholics it incidentally would later affect Jews following the Re-Admission of 1653. This disability was lifted by the Whig Government of Henry Pelham in the Act of 1753 to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized by Parliament. The bill was at best a limited advantage to the Jews since only the wealthy would have been able to set in motion the machinery necessary to obtain naturalization. Although the measure was accepted unanimously by the House of Lords it became a pawn in the upcoming general election campaign that resulted in its eventual repeal by the House of Commons. Taking full advantage of the prejudices and fears that the grant of naturalization to Jews had aroused the Tory opposition fueled the unpopularity of the Act with a pamphlet and broadsheet campaign that warned of an England overrun with Jews. The Whig government was forced by public opinion to give way and the pro-Jewish legislation was duly repealed in the same year that it was enacted. The present pamphlet is a response to the pro-Jewish pamphlet Considerations on the Bill to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized by Parliament London 1753 by the pseudonymous “Philo-Patriae†Roth p. 221 no. 95. The present author makes the claim that the Jews employed an unnamed non-Jew to write that pamphlet. Summoning various passages from the New Testament our pamphleteer argues that the naturalization of the Jews would be in violation of “these Divine Laws†pp. 14-15.“In 1752-53 Romaine became nationally known for opposing a bill before Parliament relating to 'the naturalisation of those professing the Jewish religion'. He produced an opposing pamphlet and preached a sermon in which he took the ill-chosen text ‘These people being Jews do exceedingly trouble our city Acts 16:20'†John Crosby Evangelical Times. <br> This is his antisemitic pamphlet responding to Considerations on the Bill to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized by Parliament 1753 attributed to “Philo-Patriae†Roth 221:95. Romaine issued it in the context of the fierce public backlash against the Whig-sponsored Jewish Naturalization Act of 1753 which temporarily lifted a 144-year-old requirement barring non-Christians from naturalization. <br> Though passed unanimously in the House of Lords the Act was quickly weaponized by Tory opposition ahead of the general election igniting a pamphlet and broadsheet campaign warning of a supposed Jewish inundation. Public pressure forced the Act’s repeal within the same year.The present pamphlet asserts that “Philo-Patriae†the author of the original pro-reform pamphlet was merely a gentile mouthpiece for Jewish interests. Citing the New Testament the anonymous author William Romaine argues that Jewish naturalization contravenes “Divine Laws†pp. 14–15. A stark example of 18th-century Anglican Antisemitism.<br> See: J.

190942930New York: Ferlag "Kibets 1909. 1st Edition. Original publisher’s binding Folio newspaper. Complete first volume Starting with Vol I Nr 1 of “Der Kibitser†Dec. 15 1908 renamed and renumbered first as Vol I Nr 1 Jan 22 1909 of “Der Groyser Kibetser The big kibetzer†with the following issue of Feb 5 numbered as "3" to correctly follow from the first issue and then with Vol I Nr 6 March 19 1909 onward as “Der Groyser Kundes The Big Stick†or “The Big Prankster.†Incidentally the other set of this volume we examined also did not have a Nr 2 so we are confident this is complete as issued. <br> One centerfold cartoon by Zuni Maud see image features "Der Kaptialistisher Tayfel"--the Capitalist Devil–holding back a "mother" by the hair to stop her from interfering as "baby's milk-bottle" is drained off by the "milk-trust" cat. <br> The caption reads "The Capitalist Devil: - to the mother: Never mind madam all in English in Hebrew letters you go to the factory the milk-trust will take good care of your baby."<br> This cartoon-laden periodical was a New York City Yiddish language satirical bi- weekly which ran from 1908 until 1927.<br> The humor paper was issued biweekly this volume for its first 20 months and then weekly after that. OCLC also references another Vol I Nr 1 from April 15 1908 a special S´imhes` Toyreh Simchas Torah issue but this may have been a one-off. <br> Founded by the humorist Yosef Tunkel or Der Tunkeler his pen name meaning 'The Dark One' the paper was taken on by Jacob Marinoff when Tunkel left to work for an established paper in Warsaw. The paper consciously set itself up in opposition to the serious Yiddish-language press of the time such as the socialist Forverts.Naturally more traditional religious Judaism did not escape its satire: The later 1915 "Christmas" edition included a parodic conversation between Jesus and the prophet Elijah. <br> Despite its irreverent attitude to everything it also published poetry by Di Yunge "The Young Ones" poets such as Moyshe-Leyb Halpern and Zuni Maud. At its height it had a circulation of 35000 but folded in 1927 due to flagging sales. Der Groyer Kunds is highlighted in this recent talk by Yiddish comics scholar Eddie Portnoy on the reactions in the Yiddish press to restrictions on Jewish immigration to the US: https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/collections/archival-recordings/recorded- programs/ybcr-nybc-ybcr-1048/door-slams-shut-reactions-yiddish-press-immigr ation .<br> SUBJECTS: Yiddish wit and humor -- Periodicals.

After a great number of traditional Ashkenazic Jews had settled in the town the Jewish community split in 1898 when a supporter of the Hasidic movement was elected chief rabbi into an Orthodox and a Status Quo community led by a Zionist rabbi which erected a synagogue in 1904.<br> <br> In the 1920s there were several Zionist organizations in Satu Mare and the yeshiva one of the largest in the region was attended by 400 students. In 1930 the city had five large synagogues and about 20 shtiebels. In 1928 a conflict within the Orthodox community broke out over the election of a new chief rabbi lasting six years and ending in 1934 with the appointment of the Hasidic rabbi Joel Teitelbaum a traditionalist and anti-Zionist who later re-founded the Satmar Hasidic dynasty in Williamsburg New York.

In some parts of the map the information becomes so dense that three inset maps are shown. This map was designed by Jan Laskowski and printed in 1979 as part of a work on the Nazi extermination machine produced by PWN Warsaw a state-owned research-focused publishing house in Poland.<br> The map on the front is particularly interesting for its depiction of symbols used to classify internees in German camps. The uppermost of these depictions shows the combinations that can be made for different types of prisoners of different levels of importance. The armbands that would have been worn by these prisoners is shown as well as the prison uniforms. Other details are also shown. <br> The map lists hundreds of sites run by Nazi operators throughout the country. These include concentration camps death camps transitional camps and ghettos. The map is divided according to Poland's voivodeships with a key in the lower left. Names of cities too long to spell are also provided in the lower left. <br> This map was produced during a point in Poland's history during which it was actively revisiting the period during the Second World War. Leading social scientists devoted their time to trying to gather all the living as well as the recorded history of the events of the Holocaust and related atrocities before this information vanished. Leading these efforts particularly during the 1960s and 1970s was the Glówna Komisja Scigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu known as the Chief Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. They were active in publishing maps both for domestic educational purposes and for international remembrance and diplomatic efforts regarding the Holocaust. Jan Laskowski was a leading cartographer who produced a number of maps in this field. <br> These maps were produced as part of a series of maps that purported to combine to form an atlas of all of Hitler's crimes in Poland. Many of the large wall maps produced during this period could only show a fraction of the crimes or only the atrocities committed in one region. Thus a series of maps was needed to show all the points necessary which this present work contributes to. <br> Polish Reinterpretations of the Holocaust: Studying the effects of German occupation in Poland is a delicate subject. While it is certain that Poland suffered at least as badly as any other European nation during the Second World War reinterpretations of the Holocaust in the country have also been used to satisfy nationalistic tendencies. It has become evident to Western observers in the last several years that there is a strong nationalist movement in Poland that seeks to place blame for the Holocaust solely on the shoulders of non-Polish actors a movement originally fostered under Soviet rule. This movement has gone so far as to limit freedom of speech criminalizing with a three-year sentence the suggestion that Poland or its citizens in any form participated in the murders committed by Nazis. As such the term ‘Polish concentration camps’ has been deemed unacceptable with the government-approved term being ‘concentration camps on Polish territory.’ <br> All lines of evidence show that this map 2A & 2B was produced using the most accurate and impartial historical sources. The language on the map is simple naming only ‘Hitler's Atrocities’ and there is no evidence of a clear anti-German bias. However it is impossible to separate this map one of the most important productions of the remembrance movement during this period from the social situation in which it was produced. Maps like these can easily be converted into propaganda instruments and today's Polish leaders most of whom grew up during Soviet occupation will have formed their understanding of the Holocaust through maps like these. <br> Soviet Censorship: While the content of the map appears to have been produced free from bias the map still had to go through Soviet censorship. Mentioning prisoner of war camps in which primarily Soviet troops were interned would have been a prerequisite condition upon which the publication of the map rested. Further the lack of mention of any Soviet killings or camps requires no explanation….The map unlike many later maps makes no differentiation between the populations who suffered at the various camps. This represents the Soviet agenda that all nations suffered fought and won equally which sought to limit divisions in this post-identity state†Ruderman 2022. <br> SUBJECTS: World War 1939-1945 -- Prisoners and prisons German. -- Concentration camps -- Poland.
