Left-Wing Italian Jews from the 1960s to 1980s: A Fluid Identity
2012
The aim of this chapter is to show how belonging to the Jewish Community as well as to the Italian left contributed to create the identity of certain Italian Jews. Through three life stories an attempt will be made to demonstrate that this link with the left-wing movement, which was very strong in the 1960s and 1970s, started to disappear in the early 1980s. At this time, due to the debate on the Lebanese war, Israel became the main component of their identity. Of course, this process had different characteristics which depended on different experiences. However, generally speaking we can talk about ‘mixed identities’ in which the link with Israel and political ideologies were balanced in v…
Il contributo di monsignor Giuseppe Lagumina alla ricostruzione della storia della Sicilia nei secoli XIV e XV
2020
Il saggio rivaluta Giuseppe Lagumina, storico e paleografo che lavorò a lungo nella Biblioteca Comunale di Palermo e partecipò alla vivace temperie culturale vissuta in questa città alla fine dell’Ottocento, quando fu fondata la “Società Siciliana per la Storia Patria” e nacquero la rivista “Archivio Storico Siciliano” e la collana “Documenti per servire alla Storia di Sicilia”. Il contributo di Giuseppe al "Codice Diplomatico dei Giudei di Sicilia", realizzato insieme con il più noto fratello Bartolomeo, è di gran lunga superiore a quanto finora ipotizzato. Inoltre, fu il primo storico che cercò di ricostruire gli atti finali della signoria dei Chiaromonte nella città di Palermo sulla scor…

Explaining the Inexplicable: Differences in Attributions for the Holocaust in Germany, Israel, and Poland
2016
Seventy years have passed since the Holocaust, but this cataclysmic event continues to reverberate in the present. In this research, we examine attributions about the causes of the Holocaust and the influence of such attributions on intergroup relations. Three representative surveys were conducted among Germans, Poles, and Israeli Jews to examine inter- and intragroup variations in attributions for the Holocaust and how these attributions influence intergroup attitudes. Results indicated that Germans made more external than internal attributions and were especially low in attributing an evil essence to their ancestors. Israelis and Poles mainly endorsed the obedient essence attribution and …
Diaspora żydowska w Egipcie w czasach biblijnych
2015
Deportations of Jews into the Babylonian captivity began a period of diaspora, because a part of the inhabitants of Judea took shelter in Egypt. In the fifth century BC, on the island of Elephantine – an island in the Nile, near the First Cataract – a colony of Jewish soldiers, who served in the army of Pharaoh, was created. Moreover, a temple following the templein Jerusalem was built there. After the conquest of Egypt, made by Alexander the Great, the Jewish Diaspora intensively developed. Jews were invited to settle in the newly built port city – Alexandria, which became the capital of the whole Egypt, as well as the scientific and artistic centre.The Judaic literature in Greek language,…

Jews in the discourse of the Catholic Church The article describes the most important changes which appeared after the Second Vatican Council in the discourse of the Catholic Church in reference to its attitude to confessors of Judaism. The change is the difference between the state of texts in two different moments, which is why the first part of the article is dedicated to the characteristics of pre-Council (and mostly pre-war) discourse about Jews, and the second part to main directions of the changes caused by the realization of the Council postulates. The third part shows indications of the continuation of old, deep-rooted schemes. The analysis partly concerns texts of the Church world…

Émile Zola et la question juive avant l'affaire Dreyfus
2017
Emile Zola’s article entitled I accuse...! (1898), accusing the French government of anti-Semitism, has been considered since its publication as a decisive voice defending not only the rights of a particular Jew, but also, in a larger context, truth, morality and justice. However, the “Jewish question” was already important for Zola before writing this text, and some subjects concerning Jews and their social perception occur as well in the Rougon-Macquart cycle as in journalistic chronicles written by the author. The paper examines the ways in which the “Jewish question” appears in Zola’s various texts.
