Mortal threat: Latvian Jews at the dawn of Nazi occupation

2018

In late June 1941, Nazi Germany stormed the borders of the Soviet Union, occupying the three Baltic republics within weeks. By the end of 1941, a significant proportion of the Jewish population had been murdered by German forces and local collaborators. In the days before full Nazi occupation of the territory, Latvia's Jews confronted the question of whether to flee into the Russian interior or stay in their communities. History shows that this would be a critical choice. Testimonies and memoirs of Jewish survivors illuminate the competing motivations to leave or to remain. This article highlights the key factors that figured into these calculations and the interaction between individual ag…

Single-channel and two-channel methods for land surface temperature retrieval from DAIS data and its application to the Barrax site

2004

In this paper, a methodology using a single-channel and a two-channel method is presented to estimate the land surface temperature from the DAIS (Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer) thermal channels 74 (8.747 µm), 75 (9.648 µm), 76 (10.482 µm), 77 (11.266 µm), 78 (11.997 µm) and 79 (12.668 µm). The land surface temperature retrieved with both methods has been validated over the Barrax site (Albacete, Spain) in the framework of the DAISEX (Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer Experiment) field campaigns. Prior to the validation an analysis of the DAIS data quality has been performed in order to check the agreement between in situ data and the values extracted from the DAIS images supplie…

Temperature and emissivity separation from calibrated data of the Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer

2001

Abstract The Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer (DAIS), with six thermal infrared channels in the 8–14 μm window, was flown over the Barrax test site, Spain, in the framework of the DAIS Experiment in the summer of 1998. Atmospheric correction of the DAIS thermal channels was performed by means of local radiosonde measurements and a radiative transfer model. Ground measurements of temperature and emissivity for six selected spots (two bare soils, two water bodies, and two vegetated fields) were conducted with the objective of providing calibration and validation targets. Three targets were used for a linear ground calibration of the DAIS thermal channels. With the ground-calibrated image…

¿Nuevos derroteros del Derecho internacional privado? El caso de la normativa estatal americana prohibiendo la aplicación del Derecho extranjero por …

2015

Las sociedades occidentales están siendo crecientemente testigos de una prevención hacia el extranjero y lo extranjero, especialmente hacia 'lo' musulmán. Este rechazo adquiere una especial virulencia en Estados Unidos donde cuenta con un impacto directo en el Derecho internacional privado de aquel país. Allí, la acalorada discusión en torno al posible uso de fuentes extranjeras a la hora de interpretar la Constitución americana por parte del Tribunal Supremo ha evolucionado con el paso del tiempo hacia un debate sobre la aplicación del Derecho extranjero por parte de los tribunales americanos. El miedo a una creciente islamización del país, y a la consiguiente pérdida de sus señas de ident…

The Holocaust, the Founding of Israel and the Arab-Israeli War in the British, Swedish and Finnish Press

2011

The fact that the gap between the founding of the state of Israel and the end of the Holocaust was only three years (almost to date), creates, at least in retrospect, a strong link between the two events. Articulating this view, Walter Harrelson has written that ‘[A] shamed world was certainly ready, after the Holocaust and the struggle of Jews from Europe to get to Israel, to support the Partition Plan that led to the establishment of the state.’1 Yehuda Bauer has argued that the birth of a nation ‘bridges the gap between an unconquered past tragedy and the hope for the resurrection of an almost mortally wounded people’.2 Peter Novick also agrees that the link exists, although in less cert…

The Dark Trienium: Valencia, 1389-1391. Unrest coinciding with an assault on the Jewish district

2012

Estudio de base documental sobre el auge del antijudaísmo desde 1371 y el asalto a la judería de Valencia en julio de 1391, al poco tiempo de su ampliación. Sitúa el hecho en el contexto de las tensiones políticas en la Corona de Aragón y en la ciudad, donde se enfrentaban sendos bandos: actuaciones entre 1375 y 1392 del inquisidor Nicolau Eimeric (Directorium inquisitorum) contra herejes y su condena de obras de Ramon Llull. Cortes de 1388-1389. Guerras en el ámbito pirenaico en 1390. Políticas de abastecimiento y defensa de la ciudad de Valencia y oposición de villas y nobles del reino al municipio de la capital, que arma una milicia montada en mayo de 1391. Represión de maleantes y medid…

The Jewish doctors involved in the development of health resorts in eastern Galicia at the late 19th and early 20th century (Central and Eastern Euro…

2018

Summary Background The involvement of Jewish doctors and scientists in the development of health resorts in eastern Galicia (part of the Austrian monarchy after 1772, and since 1918 as part of independent Poland, now part of Ukraine) is unquestionable; however, awareness of this fact is not that common. Meanwhile, also due to their work and activity, small borderland resorts became important medical, cultural and social centers of the region. The involvement of Jewish doctors in the development of Galician health resorts resulted from, among others, the rich and multi-layered tradition and integration of Judaism with the hygiene regulations and moral principles of the religion. The eastern …
