Remembrance of Jews in contemporary catholic homilies
2020
The paper discusses the problem of transferring the memory of Jews through Polish contemporary Catholic homilies. In the biblical pericopies read throughout the liturgical year during Catholic mass, generally Jews play a negative role – as persecutors and killers of Jesus. According to the provisions of the Second Vatican Council, anti-Jewish content cannot be proclaimed in the Catholic Church, and the Bible, which according to the doctrine must remain unchanged, should be adequately commented on in homilies. The paper – on the example of about 40 homilies – shows, however, that priests who preach homilies do not use modern exegetic knowledge, but replicate stereotypes deeply rooted in cult…
Postemanzipatorischer Antisemitismus in Wien. Ferdinand Wilhelm Bronners Komödie "Schmelz, der Nibelunge"
2020
Ferdinand Wilhelm Bronners "Schmelz, der Nibelunge" comedy (1905) reflects anti-Semitism and anti-Slavism in Vienna around 1900. The main character suffers painfully from the inner conflict between her German-national identification and her Jewish descent. The author of the comedy converted to Protestntism and denied all his life his Jewish heritage. The aim is to clarify whether the Galician Jew and writer Ferdinand Bronner offers on stage a solution to the Jewish question that transcends racial anti-Semitism and Zionism beyond the seemingly opposite tendencies in time.
Gmina żydowska w Praszce w II Rzeczypospolitej. Przyczynek do dziejów
2020
One from 7 Jewish religious commune in the Wieluń district during the Second Polish Republic was located in Praszka. It gathered about 1,000-1,500 followers of Judaism. The kehilla’s work was managed by the municipality’s management with the help of many employees, dealing with work in, among others, a synagogue, a commune building, a ritual bathhouse and a ritual slaughterhouse and religious schools. The rabbi was gifted with the great authority of the inhabitants of Praszka. At that time, the financial crisis prevailed, but the Jewish commune in Praszka maintained charitable and social activities on a large scale, through the maintenance and financing of many institutions, incl uding Jewi…
Relacje polsko-żydowskie w powiecie wieluńskim w II Rzeczypospolitej
2022
Zagadnienie relacji polsko-żydowskich w powiecie wieluńskim w II Rzeczypospolitej nie było podejmowane przez wielu badaczy. Trudno jest dokonać ich jednoznacznej oceny ze względu na złożoność problemu. Były one kształtowane przez ówczesną sytuację społeczno-ekonomiczną. Sprowadzały się one do: handlu, wydarzeń społecznych i religijnych oraz polityki. Niezależnie od przykładów zarówno przyjaznego współistnienia, jak i incydentalnych zdarzeń o charakterze przestępczym, w omawianym okresie splecione dzieje ludności polskiej i żydowskiej wpłynęły na dynamiczny rozwój społeczny tych terenów w warunkach niepodległego kraju. Obecność Żydów na tych terenach, którzy byli skupieni w siedmiu gminach w…
Gmina wyznaniowa żydowska w Wieluniu w II Rzeczypospolitej w dokumentacji Archiwum Państwowego w Łodzi
2019
Największa gmina wyznaniowa żydowska w powiecie wieluńskim w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej znajdowała się w Wieluniu. Skupiała ona około 5 tys. wyznawców judaizmu. Pracami kahału kierował zarząd gminy i rada gminy przy pomocy wielu pracowników, zajmujących się utrzymaniem m.in. synagogi, budynku gminy, łaźni i rzeźni rytualnej i szkół wyznaniowych. Wielkim autorytetem mieszkańców Wielunia cieszył się rabin, troszczący się o religijny rozwój społeczności żydowskiej i pomagający mu podrabin. Mimo ówczesnego kryzysu finansowego, gmina żydowska w Wieluniu prowadziła na dużą skalę działalność dobroczynną i społeczną, poprzez utrzymywanie i finansowanie licznych instytucji, w tym szkół wyznaniowych.

Santo Dominguito de Val: La ?tradición? como arma arrojadiza a disposición de los poderes establecidos
2019
This study focuses, from a short story of the blood libel of Saint Dominguito de Val, on answering the questions of when and why the ?tradition? was made about this saint, and the specific moments of his Revitalization until the end of the 17th century. Although the short story of the death of this infant has been occupied by the most diverse writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, we take as reference the master Espés and the chroniclers Blancas, Andrés de Uztarroz and Dormer.
More Dubious Dead Sea Scrolls
2021
Abstract In the course of the last eighteen years more than 75 new “Dead Sea Scrolls” fragments have surfaced on the antiquities market. These are commonly referred to as post-2002 Dead Sea Scrolls-like fragments. A growing number of scholars regard a substantial part of them as forgeries. In this article, we will discuss four more dubious fragments, but this time from the 20th Century—or at least from pre-2002. Two of the fragments have been known since the late nineties and are published in the DJD series. One was published in Revue de Qumran (2003), and one in Gleanings from the Caves (2016). All four are today accepted as part of the Dead Sea Scrolls dataset even though they are unprove…
