Reviewed by: In Hitler’s Munich. Jews, the Revolution, and the Rise of Nazism by Michael Brenner Andrea Löw Michael Brenner. In Hitler’s Munich. Jews, the Revolution, and the Rise of Nazism. Translated by Jeremiah Riemer. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2022. 378 pp. Michael Brenner’s study is oppressively topical. Not only is a century from the infamous Beer Hall Putsch being commemorated this year, but the author’s preface to the English-language edition, written after January 6, 2021, clearly connects the events and developments of 1920s Munich with the situation in the United States and elsewhere today: “Germany during the 1920s offers crucial lessons for us today about how democracies become imperiled. History never repeats itself, but in this case it does rhyme. The German example warns us that knocking down an insurrection does not mean the fight for democracy has been won yet” (xi). Brenner describes how Munich turned into the capital of antisemitism and Hitler’s testing ground for Nazism, a city that Thomas Mann characterized as “the city of Hitler” in June 1923 (213). But In Hitler’s Munich is much more; it is a story about Jews in Munich in these crucial years, about their reactions and interpretations and an intellectual history of the 1920s in Munich, Bavaria, and beyond. Brenner asks about the relationship of the Jewish revolutionaries to their Jewishness and how Munich Jews and non-Jews saw them and reacted to what they did. In retrospect, it seems all too easy to see the rise of antisemitism in what would turn into the capital of Nazism as a direct result of the revolutionaries’ political actions. Yet Brenner notes that if history had turned out differently, we might today see this period as “a success story for German Jews, as an episode of pride rather than of shame” (6). Never before and never since have so many Jewish politicians been in the public eye as in Munich during the years following World War I. Large parts of the Jewish community, however, distanced themselves from the revolution, even publicly opposed it, but this role was hardly ever mentioned in the years to follow. Politically conservative German Jews faced a dilemma. Still, there was an extremely wide range of revolutionary protagonists with Jewish background—men and women—and Brenner presents their stories. None of them celebrated Hanukah, still, they felt like outsiders in Catholic Bavaria and they actually were outsiders. It is this very outsider perspective Brenner describes so well in this study, using a wide range of sources, presenting an intellectual history of revolutionary Jews like Kurt Eisner, Erich Mühsam, and Ernst Toller. He also describes the rise of the antisemites who held all prejudices against Eisner against Jews overall. In a rather personal way, Brenner writes about the hate letters to Eisner as one “of the most depressing archival finds in connection with the revolution in Munich” (109).

书评人:希特勒的慕尼黑。《犹太人、革命和纳粹主义的兴起》作者:迈克尔·布伦纳安德里亚Löw迈克尔·布伦纳。在希特勒的慕尼黑。犹太人、革命和纳粹主义的兴起。Jeremiah Riemer翻译。普林斯顿，新泽西州:普林斯顿大学出版社，2022。378页。迈克尔·布伦纳(Michael Brenner)的研究是令人压抑的主题。今年不仅是纪念臭名昭著的啤酒馆政变(Beer Hall Putsch)的一个世纪，而且作者在2021年1月6日之后为英文版撰写的序言，明确地将20世纪20年代慕尼黑的事件和发展与今天美国和其他地方的局势联系起来:“20世纪20年代的德国为今天的我们提供了重要的教训，告诉我们民主是如何陷入危险的。历史永远不会重演，但在这种情况下，它确实押韵。德国的例子警告我们，镇压起义并不意味着民主的斗争已经胜利”(11)。布伦纳描述了慕尼黑如何变成反犹主义的首都和希特勒的纳粹主义试验场，一个被托马斯·曼在1923年6月描述为“希特勒之城”的城市(213)。但在希特勒的慕尼黑有更多;这是一个关于关键时期慕尼黑犹太人的故事，关于他们的反应和解释，以及20世纪20年代慕尼黑，巴伐利亚和其他地方的思想史。布伦纳询问了犹太革命者与他们的犹太性之间的关系，以及慕尼黑的犹太人和非犹太人如何看待他们，并对他们的行为做出反应。回想起来，反犹主义在后来成为纳粹主义首都的地方的兴起，似乎很容易被看作是革命者政治行动的直接结果。然而布雷纳指出,如果历史上有了不同,我们今天可能认为这一时期“德国犹太人的成功故事,骄傲的一集,而不是耻辱”(6)以来,从未,从未有这么多的犹太人在慕尼黑政治家在公众眼中,在第一次世界大战之后的大部分犹太社区,然而,在革命划清界限,甚至公开反对它,但这个角色是很少提到在接下来的几年里。政治上保守的德国犹太人面临着两难境地。尽管如此，还是有很多具有犹太背景的革命主角——男人和女人——布伦纳讲述了他们的故事。他们都不庆祝光明节，但在信奉天主教的巴伐利亚，他们觉得自己是外人，实际上他们就是外人。Brenner在他的研究中很好地描述了这种局外人的视角，他使用了广泛的资源，呈现了像Kurt Eisner, Erich m hsam和Ernst Toller这样的革命犹太人的思想史。他还描述了反犹主义者的崛起，他们对艾斯纳和所有犹太人都抱有偏见。布伦纳以一种相当个人的方式，将写给艾斯纳的仇恨信描述为“与慕尼黑革命有关的最令人沮丧的档案发现”之一(109)。言语上的激进化在这些信件中变得非常明显，在这些年来的许多其他文件中也是如此。通过引用各方的观点，布伦纳对这一重要时期的气氛进行了详尽的描述。布伦纳分析了希特勒在慕尼黑的政治态度，以及当时围绕在他身边的忠诚者后来如何发挥了重要作用。随着气氛日益紧张，库尔特·图科尔斯基在1921年写道:“旅行者们，避开巴伐利亚!”(192)。事实上，慕尼黑的犹太人不再感到安全，这在1923年11月的政变中达到顶峰。布伦纳明确表示，这是一个转折点:“对大多数慕尼黑犹太人来说，这个夜晚是他们第一次真正面对威胁生命的国家社会主义恐怖。他们开始意识到，如果希特勒真的夺取政权，国家社会主义者就会认真地把他们的反犹言论从口头上变成行动。本书所分析的事件的叙述随着时间的推移而发生了变化，布伦纳的方法也是一种特殊的视角;他专注于犹太人本身和反犹主义的兴起。正如他在结尾处正确地指出的那样:“但无论我们以何种方式看待它，慕尼黑这座城市——随着它日益……

Abstract: Among biblical accounts that invite skepticism, the antediluvian genealogies of Genesis have long attracted attention, with Methuselah famously living close to a millennium and others nearly as long. This study explores an analysis of the issue and its cognates in Revealer of Secrets ( Ẓafenat paʿneaḥ ), a fourteenth-century Torah commentary by Eleazar Ashkenazi that has only recently reentered the light of history. Striking is Eleazar’s teaching that Moses composed the chrono-genealogies in Genesis based on sundry traditions that contained “imprecise narrative hyperboles.” Eleazar also suggests that the patriarchal narratives are a “noble ruse” designed to inculcate belief in the world’s creation. Eleazar's exploration of the topic provides an entrée into the fertile mind and spirited pen of this barely known late medieval rationalist as well as into an unstudied chapter in the history of Jewish reflection on a challenging biblical crux that evoked much reflection and a rich medley of larger religious themes.
摘要:在令人怀疑的圣经记载中，《创世纪》的上古家谱一直备受关注，玛土撒拉活了近千年，其他人也活了近千年。本研究探讨了对该问题及其在《秘密的启示者》(Ẓafenat pa ā neajah)中的同源词的分析，这是14世纪由以利亚撒·阿什肯纳兹(Eleazar Ashkenazi)撰写的《托拉》评论，最近才重新进入历史之光。引人注目的是，以利亚撒的教导是，摩西根据各种“不精确的夸张叙述”的传统，编写了《创世纪》中的年代家谱。以利亚撒还认为，父权叙事是一种“高贵的诡计”，旨在灌输对世界创造的信仰。以利亚撒对这个话题的探索，让我们得以深入到这位几乎不为人知的中世纪晚期理性主义者丰富的思想和生气勃勃的笔墨中，也让我们得以深入到犹太人反思一个具有挑战性的圣经关键问题的历史中一个未被研究的章节，这个关键问题引发了许多反思和更大的宗教主题的丰富混合。

Abstract:Histories like Heinrich Graetz’s Geschichte der Juden (1854–1876) may have once been prominent and popular, but more recently this genre has fallen out of favor as scholars generally no longer try to write monumental histories of the Jews. This article traces the turn away from monumental histories and how it represents fundamental changes in how scholars understand Jewish history: Graetz and his contemporaries constructed Jewish history as a unified field, but today some question the notion of “a” Jewish history, instead looking to a multiplicity of histories and narratives. Nevertheless, a cohort of leading scholars and popular writers continue to produce synthetic histories of the Jews, and many still produce linear narratives of Jewish history for introductory Jewish history courses. Consequently, this article brings together historiography and pedagogy to comprehend the persistence and meaning of master narrative frameworks as scholars and the public continue to envision Jewish history.
摘要:像海因里希·格莱茨(Heinrich Graetz)的《犹太人历史》(Geschichte der Juden, 1854-1876)这样的历史著作可能曾经是杰出而受欢迎的，但近年来，由于学者们普遍不再试图撰写不朽的犹太人历史，这种类型的著作已经失宠了。本文追溯了从不朽历史的转向，以及它如何代表了学者理解犹太历史的根本变化:格莱茨和他的同时代人将犹太历史构建为一个统一的领域，但今天一些人质疑“一个”犹太历史的概念，而是将目光投向了历史和叙事的多样性。尽管如此，一群著名学者和流行作家仍在继续创作犹太人的综合历史，许多人仍在为犹太历史入门课程制作犹太历史的线性叙述。因此，本文将史学和教育学结合在一起，以理解在学者和公众继续展望犹太历史时，主叙事框架的持久性和意义。

Abstract:In the study of Jews in late antiquity, scholarship of the past half century has increasingly recognized the significance of the anonymous editors of the Babylonian Talmud. Whereas earlier scholars argued that the Babylonian Talmud was redacted and completed by the last generation or so of the Amoraim, scholars now accept that substantial sections of the anonymous editorial layer(s) postdate the final named Amoraim. However, basic historical questions about these editors and their activities remain unanswered. This paper will offer several case studies that argue that certain anonymous sections in the Talmud refer to known historical events that transpired in the Sasanian Empire in the sixth century, and reveal how the editors were acquainted with, affected by, and participated in broader contemporaneous historical trends.

Abstract:The Diary of Anne Frank was published in North Korea in 2002. Coming in the wake of a devastating famine, the decision to translate this text was likely driven by the need to provide North Korea’s youth with a model of resilience. To appreciate the translator’s interventions, I provide a close reading of the translation and contextualize it historically, and make two assertions. First, that it is productive to understand the diary within North Korea’s writing practices and theories of good literature and translation. Second, I argue that self-writing is less a spontaneous delivery of the true self and more one that is processed through a web of linguistic and social structures, and I offer a consideration of the “politics of self-writing” as a methodological approach. In addition, I show how reception of the diary demonstrates the difficulty of restricting its interpretation, even in North Korea.
