Adlerçthe scholar, novelist, and poet who had been forced to spend 1942 to 1945 inTheresienstadt, Auschwitz, and in the Buchenwald subcamps Niederorschel and Langenstein-Zwiebergeçsaw an irreconcilable gulf between those who survived the Shoah only after directly su¡ering National Socialist extermination policies and those who, able to escape, survived in exile. In a letter written shortly after his liberation from the concentration camp and sent to Franz Baermann Steiner, a friend living in exile in England, Adler asserted the latter group could not possibly imagine ‘what has actually happened to us’. He emphasized that what the experiences of misery, hunger, dirt, hatred, illnesses, horror, and pain had done especially to the ‘inner self ’ of those who had passed through them and survived could not be expressed in words. Despiteçor perhaps precisely because ofçthe severe problems of narrative representation arising from the Holocaust, Adler had already planned at an early stage to represent his experiences in two ways: ‘When it came to the deportations, I told myself: I won’t survive this. But if I do survive, I want to represent it, and in two di¡erent ways: I want to explore it in a scholarly manner [. . .], and I want to portray it in a literary manner.’ Adler was indeed able to pursue this project after his liberation and created an extensive body of work that consists of two distinct","PeriodicalId":414911,"journal":{"name":"The Leo Baeck Institute Yearbook","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127199690","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}

{"title":"Victor Gruen’s Retail Therapy: Exiled Jewish Communities and the Invention of the American Shopping Mall as a Postwar Ideal","authors":"Joseph Malherek","doi":"10.1093/leobaeck/ybw001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/leobaeck/ybw001","url":null,"abstract":"This article examines the role of e¤ migre¤ architectVictor Gruen in advancing a social-democratic ideology that would find an unlikely application in the context of consumer capitalism in the United States. It argues that Gruen was able to channel the ideals of social democracy into his vision of the shopping centre, intended as a recreation of the best aspects of urbanity in a suburban ‘desert’ that lacked any community centre. The article focuses on the formation of Gruen’s values in interwarVienna and his early experiences in the US in the late 1930s and early 1940s, where he embraced his identity as aJewish refugee by managing a theatre troupe of exiled Viennese, and where he established himself as an architect and designer in part through his contacts in the community of e¤ migre¤ Jews in NewYork. In the spring of 1949, theWarner Brothers studio assembled about 250 architects in Los Angeles for a preview screening of its new ¢lm, an adaptation of the 1943 Ayn Rand novel The Fountainhead. Among those in attendance was Victor Gruen, a Viennese e¤ migre¤ and architect who would become best known as the inventor of the regional shopping centre. He was appalled by what he believed to be a gross misrepresentation of the work and values of his profession, and was disgusted by the antisocial, egotistical message of the ¢lm and book. Gruen channeled his anger into a devastating review of the ¢lm, which was published in the May 1949 issue of Arts and Architecture. Gruen charged that Rand did not know that the very purpose of the contemporary architect was service to society and to the client; his mission was to ful¢ll the needs of a communityçnot to erect monuments to his ego that stood in complete disregard to human needs. Gruen worried that the nonconformist ideology of Rand’s hero would be so deeply attractive to young people 1 ‘Hollywood’s Fountainhead: All dynamite will be charged to clients’, The Architectural Forum, June 1949, pp. 13^14.

Gruen reacted so strongly to the message of The Fountainhead because it was a perverse representation of his profession, but also because Rand’s libertarian ideology was an a¡ront to his deepest values as a Social Democrat. Gruen had come of age amidst the radical political transformations of interwar Vienna as a prominent member of an agitprop theatre troupe which thrived despite being forced underground when fascism took hold in the 1930s.
