Johannes Buxtorf the Younger’s Latin translation of the Guide of the Perplexed (1629) is studied in its bibliographical, linguistic and paratextual features. The translator’s preface is analyzed in detail highlighting the peculiar intentions of Buxtorf in editing this medieval philosophical work. Its main function is identified by the translator as a mean towards learning Hebrew, although he was well aware that the original language of the Guide was rather Arabic. A specific ideological bias as to the function of the Guide in designing and promoting a “rational” Judaism, compatible with Protestant ideals is detected among the most interesting motives of this translation, one which would be destined to a long fortune among Christian Hebraists of the subsequent epochs.

Cet article analyse la politique de « reparation » allemande au xxie siecle a travers l’exemple de ce qu’on designe sous l’expression « pensions de ghetto ». Il se fonde sur des documents rendus accessibles par la Loi sur la liberte de l’information. A partir de 2002, d’anciens internes des ghettos ont pu beneficier du systeme de securite sociale allemand s’ils etaient a meme de prouver qu’ils avaient travaille dans des conditions bien specifiques. Jusqu’en 2009 cependant, plus de 90 % des requetes ont ete rejetees parce que les fonds de pension et le gouvernement souhaitaient avant tout faire des economies, sans que les juges aient marque leur volonte de mettre fin a ce scandale. Ce n’est qu’en 2009 qu’une decision historique a modifie ce comportement mais meme depuis lors il apparait clairement qu’aujourd’hui comme dans la seconde moitie du xxe siecle, de telles indemnisations sont percues en Allemagne comme un fardeau indesirable.

In this article, I examine the mitigated reception of The Novel of Blood when it appeared in French translation. Indeed, while The Nature of Blood encountered huge success in the anglophone world, Caryl Phillips’s sixth novel was translated into French as La nature humaine, and has a cover illustration also diverging significantly from the original one. A double shift consequently occurs, with significant repercussions for the reception of the novel. First of all, it reduces the novel being a further fiction on the Holocaust, an interpretation reinforced by the cover illustration which diverges from the original. Phillips has paid attention to merge the story of European antisemitism in another context, racism towards people of colour since the 15th century in Europe, more specifically in Venice, where the first ghetto was established.

Cet article porte sur la maniere dont la Mission d’etude sur la spoliation des Juifs de France ‑ en la personne de son groupe « œuvres et objets d’art » ‑ a traite le cas des spoliations d’œuvres d’art. Il s’est agi notamment du cas des œuvres communement appele « les MNR », a savoir quelque 2 000 œuvres d’art rapatriees d’Allemagne ‑ et donc potentiellement spoliees ‑ qui au debut des annees 1950 ont ete confiees aux musees nationaux. Ce travail publie sous l’egide de la Mission Matteoli suscite aujourd’hui plusieurs interrogations : celle‑ci ont trait a la mise en œuvre de la recherche menee, a son fondement en ce qui concerne certains des chiffres avances, puis aux personnes ou institutions qui en portent la responsabilite. En cela, cet article, fonde essentiellement sur les differents rapports publies, porte sur ce qui differencie le rapport portant sur les œuvres d’art des autres travaux de la Mission Matteoli ainsi que sur la nature des decalages constates, qui meriteraient une etude plus approfondie.

Historical commissions have played an important role in the most recent efforts to garner restitution and reparations for Holocaust victims and their families. Several dozen Holocaust commissions were convened in the late‑1990s and early‑2000s in European countries where histories of collaboration and complicity with the Nazi regime were either under‑documented or suppressed in the official discourse. This essay examines the Holocaust commissions from a historiographical perspective with special attention given to the methodological and rhetorical strategies they employed when confronted by the traumatic experiences and memories of victims and survivors. While the work of these commissions was shaped and influenced, to varying degrees, by external political forces and interest groups, this essay explores the ways in which “the politics of history” entered into their written reports and, consequently, obscured and silenced fundamental aspects of Holocaust history. Three commissions, in particular, are held up for scrutiny (i.e., Austria’s Jabloner Commission, the International Commission for Holocaust‑Era Insurance Claims, and France’s Matteoli Commission), and an assessment of their work is given against the backdrop of ongoing debates within the field of trauma studies and in response to questions concerning the Holocaust and the “limits of representation.”

This essay provides a partial reconstruction of some measures of restitution and reparation adopted by the first post‑Fascist Italian administrations on behalf of Jews. These measures reached their peak in 1945‑1947 and had a final addendum in 1955, with the passage of a law, still in force, that awarded former victims of persecution some compensation for their suffering but, overall, the reparation measures were vastly insufficient. In the Nineties, the period of antisemitic persecution came back into the Italian political spotlight, as part of a new wave of international attention focused on the consequences of the Shoah from a financial standpoint as well, due to the phenomenon of the Holocaust litigations. Nevertheless the Italian response was once again characterized by resistance, reticence and silence.
