Nieuwe Nederlanders. De integratie van de joden in Nederland 1814-1851

Amsterdam, Bert Bakker, 2007. 323 pp. Illustr. Goed exemplaar. Schoon, geen naam stempel of andere gebruiksporen. Paperback. Dutch language. History jews in the Netherlands, 19th century. In deze studie wordt het beleid van de Nederlandse overheid en de joodse elite geanalyseerd. Wat was precies het doel van de integratie en hoe werd die uitgevoerd? Lukt het om de joodse gemeenschap in deze fase van integratie bijeen te houden? Tot dusver was erg weinig bekend over de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse joden in de eerste helft van de negentiende eeuw. Op basis van niet eerder bestudeerde bronnen opent dit boek tal van nieuwe perspectieven: op de felle strijd om religieuze vernieuwingen en het uitblijven van een liberaal-joodse beweging, maar evenzeer op het frustrerende Nederlandse antisemitisme. Daarnaast gaat het over de dramatische gevolgen van onzorgvuldige besnijders en de moeizame acceptatie van joodse militairen. ISBN: 9789035131309

WATERMAN, ASJER and ANNA E. DE WILDE

Reviving the soul of the community. Developments in the post-war history of Ets Haim - Livraria Montezinos. MBI Studies No. XV. ISBN 9789082967401

Amsterdam, Menasseh ben Israel Instituut, 2019. 64 pp. New. Paperback. Until this publication, the recent history of Ets Haim-Livraria Montezinos was paid scant attention. Yet the post-war years may have been the most tumultuous in the life of the famous library of the Portuguese-Jewish congregation of Amsterdam. During this tough chapter, the community’s few surviving members who were responsible for the books faced formidable challenges. With the meagre resources available, how were they to restore the library - the ‘soul’ of their congregation - after most of its books had miraculously survived the Nazi lootings? Were these books still safe in Europe? And were there enough Jews left to warrant them remaining there? Or were they perhaps better off in the brand new Jewish state, where many more people would take an interest in them? On the basis of original archival research, Asjer Waterman and Anna de Wilde have chronicled how these questions led to bitter conflicts, but how in the end the library emerged again as the pride and joy of Amsterdam’s Portuguese Jews. It thus remains the oldest still functioning library in the world, but has also become a modern research library with well-preserved books and manuscripts that draws scholars from the four corners of the earth to the heart of Jewish Amsterdam.

WOLF, DIANE L.

Beyond Anne Frank. Hidden Children and Postwar Families in Holland

Berkeley, Univ. of California Press, 2007. 391 pp. Very good copy. Paperback. The image of the Jewish child hiding from the Nazis was shaped by Anne Frank, whose house - the most visited site in the Netherlands - has become a shrine to the Holocaust. Yet while Anne Frank's story continues to be discussed and analyzed, her experience as a hidden child in wartime Holland is anomalous - as this book brilliantly demonstrates. Drawing on interviews with seventy Jewish men and women who, as children, were placed in non-Jewish families during the Nazi occupation of Holland, Diane L. Wolf paints a compelling portrait of Holocaust survivors whose experiences were often diametrically opposed to the experiences of those who suffered in concentration camps. Although the war years were tolerable for most of these children, it was the end of the war that marked the beginning of a traumatic time, leading many of those interviewed here to remark, 'My war began after the war.' This first in-depth examination of hidden children vividly brings to life their experiences before, during, and after hiding and analyzes the shifting identities, memories, and family dynamics that marked their lives from childhood through advanced age. Wolf also uncovers anti-Semitism in the policies and practices of the Dutch state and the general population, which historically have been portrayed as relatively benevolent toward Jewish residents.
