For this discourse analysis, two main primary sources were chosen: the daily newspaper Völkischer Beobachter and archives of parliamentary debates of the Reichstag. Immigration and the presence of Eastern European Jews in Germany after the World War I played an important role in the anti-Semitic propaganda and speeches of right-wing politicians. Within the period of the Weimar Republic, the construct Ost juden underwent certain semantic changes. Use of the term and its connotations in the anti-Semitic discourse were examined and are presented in this article. Eastern European Jewish immigrants in Germany were among favorite targets of the anti-Semitic attacks at the beginning of the 20th century. The German term Ostjude (lit. “Eastern Jew”) started to be widely used in the German language around turn of the century. At the very beginning, this term was popularized by German and Austrian Jews, who had discovered the romanticized world of their Eastern European coreligionists. Therefore, once this word had entered the German language discourses, it had rather positive connotations. Nevertheless, the term quite soon gained other meanings as well. While some German-speaking Jews continued to load the word Ostjude with positive connotations, German anti-Semites and others of the German Jewry discovered the term for themselves and started to use it to describe “foreign” Jews from Eastern Europe in a pejorative way.1 Numerous anti-Semitic texts, which dealt with the so-called Ostjudenfrage (question of Ostjuden) especially during and after the World War I, discredited such words as Ostjuden, ostjüdisch, Ostjudentum and others. The consequences of this discreditation can still be felt in the modern German language. Although both terms are 1 Staudinger 2015: 36–37.

The fundamental studies of Steven Aschheim, Trude Mauerer and Jack Wertheimer from the 1980s were continued and supplemented by other historians in the following years. Despite the diversity of the works on this topic, there is no comprehensive study of the emergence and development of the term Ostjude in German discourses. The aim of the present research is therefore to contribute to this outstanding conceptual history and to examine the role of the construct Ostjuden in the anti-Semitic discourse of the Weimar R","PeriodicalId":38048,"journal":{"name":"Scripta Judaica Cracoviensia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70988864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a commercially active minority community within Poland, Jews of course utilized official nationally issued monies, but they also issued and circulated many forms of tokens to serve varied social, religious, charitable, and commercial purposes. Tokens of non-precious metals and paper were issued by principal Jewish communal authorities; by societies active in maintaining services such as burial, ritual slaughter, education, care of the sick and elderly, and the distribution of alms; and by prominent merchants. The relatively small value and humbleness of such objects, and the fact that their acceptability did not extend beyond the town of their issue, has meant that they were rarely saved and preserved in the course of Jewish migration and during the tumult of wars and pogroms. Therefore, unlike obsolete national coinages, such local tokens have remained virtually unknown and have never previously been collected and studied, either privately or by museums. Recently, metal detectorists at sites of former Jewish habitation have uncovered considerable quantities of metallic Jewish tokens which display a remarkable geographic range and variety of form and function. This paper, based largely on such newly discovered material, presents this rich trove of artifacts for the first time, and attempts to describe and situate their functions within the social and economic context of Jewish communal life in Poland prior to the World War II. Numismatics is the study of currencies, generally accepted means of exchange, typically coins or banknotes, issued by sovereign authorities. Jews played a significant role in the production of coinage in Polish lands during the 12th and 13th centuries, when a series of Piast dynasts, Casimir the Just, Mieszko III,2 Przemysław, and others employed 1 This essay is dedicated to the memory of my late father, Nathan W.
