It must be recalled that Lubitsch was Jewish and would in any case have been under heavy pressure to leave Germany after January 1933 had he not already done so ten years earlier. Adolf Hitler himself is said to have had a particular animus against Lubitsch, as a Berlin Jew who triumphed in the German film industry and then went on to further triumphs in Hollywood. The Nazi propaganda picture The Eternal Jew (1940) went so far as to display the director's face as an archetype of corruption and depravity.Along with The Shop Around the Corner (1940), Trouble in Paradise (1932), and Design for Living (1933), To Be or Not to Be ranks among Lubitsch's best films. It is a black comedy about Hitler at the same time as it was a morale-builder for Resistance fighters throughout Europe during World War II. Along with Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (1940), itself a dark comedy about Hitler, To Be or Not to Be is an early landmark in the evolution of a modern genre: war-as-black-comedy. This essay reconsiders Lubitsch's To Be or Not to Be in light of its controversial genre (sometimes described as grotesque satire or gallows humor), its relationship to the theater (including acting), and the film's sociohistorical context (Nazism, the Holocaust, and World War II).","PeriodicalId":21809,"journal":{"name":"Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies","volume":"39 1","pages":"62 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49493635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These \"Shoah selfies\" subsequently trigger vitriolic online shaming when outraged, self-appointed defenders of Holocaust memory accuse selfie-takers of desecrating the memory of the dead. But while these images are usually dismissed as evidence of bad taste and a crisis of Holocaust memory among younger generations, this paper argues that both Shoah selfies and Shoah selfie shaming fulfill other, more nuanced functions. Through a reading of Ukrainian filmmaker Sergei Losnitza's 2016 observational documentary Austerlitz, which depicts how tourists behave and photograph on a typical summer afternoon at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, I argue that however offensive they may be, Shoah selfies must be understood as examples of \"social photographs.\" In media theorist Nathan Jurgenson's definition, a \"social photograph\" is a digital image whose \"existence as a stand-alone media object is subordinate to its existence as a unit of communication.\" Within social media streams, they contribute to the photographer's ongoing narrative of self-fashioning. They also typify the rise of what Diana Popescu terms \"post-witnessing,\" the urge to \"investigate the past by undertaking a real and not only an imaginary journey of discovery\" at Holocaust sites. As Shoah selfies show how new media have effected tremendous shifts in Holocaust memory, the overrepresentation of young women and effeminate men as targets of shaming show how this response to offensive Holocaust photography concurrently sustains oppressive gender hierarchies.","PeriodicalId":21809,"journal":{"name":"Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies","volume":"39 1","pages":"155 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48459577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These approaches' proponents disagree about this literature's political character. While pointing to how the discourse analysts' work accords more effectively with historical research and how early twentieth-century Hebrew literature can be better understood in relationship to its political function, this article stresses how scholarship employing a transnational approach nonetheless contributes to more effective understanding of this literature. In fact, through analysis of Levi Aryeh Arieli's 1911 novella In the Light of Venus, this article will explore how the national, the transnational, the aesthetic, and the political are interwoven in early twentieth-century Hebrew literature, with these elements finding variant expression in different Hebrew works, even the works of individual authors. Despite this crisscrossing, Zionist objectives proved highly significant to Hebrew writers looking to contribute to the development of textual and spatial locations where Jews, especially Jewish men, could fully express their cosmopolitan character and universal beliefs and desires. Thus, while Arieli draws on the transnational literary milieu to aesthetically depict the modern individual's quest for religious experience, his engagement with gender and sexuality to promote Jewish gender and sexual norms considered best able to aid in promotion of Zionism aims in Palestine constitutes his novella's center of gravity. Such a reading offers a new way to look at Arieli and his literary work, as well as early twentieth-century Hebrew literary works with overlapping aesthetic and political aims.","PeriodicalId":21809,"journal":{"name":"Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies","volume":"39 1","pages":"120 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44731925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

[...]Sémelin argues that Jews in France found significant support despite state-sanctioned antisemitism and that, \"the maintenance of these social bonds between Jews and non-Jews was paramount when it came to thwarting a genocidal enterprise whose intention was to create an ever-widening gulf between the designated victims and the general population. \"11 Calling this widespread movement of spontaneous help offered to Jews \"social reactivity,\" Sémelin concludes, \"These scattered and multiform responses from individual 'helpers' threw a protective and beneficent mantle over a group of people who had become the pariahs of the regime. The Vichy regime did not enact any \"new basic anti-Jewish legislation\" after December 11, 1942, but 1943 and 1944 still held disastrous consequences for thousands of Jews in France.16 The year 1942 was the height of deportations from France: 27,500 Jews in the greater Paris region were deported to death camps that year, and another 11,000 would be sent to the east from the capital in 1943 and 1944.17 As Sémelin notes, the difference between the numbers of French and foreign Jews deported is significant, a fact that he attributes to differences in social integration and networks.","PeriodicalId":21809,"journal":{"name":"Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies","volume":"39 1","pages":"257 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48926130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
