TRIBUTO: HISTORIAS QUE CONSTRUYEN MEMORIA DE LA SHOÁ, CON CECILIA LEVIT – Leah Koenig nació en Lodz, Polonia,  de padres actores. Su madre, Dina Koenig, fue una actriz respetada en Polonia y Rumania; su padre, Oskar Yosef Kamain, y su tío eran miembros de la banda de Vilnius («Di Vilner Trope«). Durante el Holocausto,  Lia y su madre vivieron en Chernivtsi en Ucrania y en Serbia en Moldavia, y luego huyeron al interior de la Unión Soviética, a la región del Uzbekistán soviético. Su padre se quedó con su banda en Polonia durante el Holocausto y murió de enfermedad en 1942. Después de eso, su madre se volvió a casar con el actor Yitzhak Havis, nacido en Serbia. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en su camino hacia el oeste, la familia se estableció en Rumania. En contra de los deseos de su madre, Koenig comenzó a estudiar interpretación en la Academia de Arte de Bucarest y comenzó a actuar en el Teatro Judío de la ciudad desde una edad temprana. Apareció en una amplia variedad de obras de teatro y fue más famosa cuando interpretó el personaje de Ana Frank, dirigida por Ginel Teodorescu. En 1961, Koenig emigró a Israel junto con su esposo Zvi Stolper, un actor y director sobreviviente del Holocausto de Transnistria. Bajo la influencia de su madre fallecida que no llegó a emigrar a Israel, Koenig renunció a incorporarse como estrella en el teatro ídish y comenzó a aprender hebreo. Después de completar sus estudios en ese idioma, fue aceptada como actriz en el teatro nacional Habima. Se convirtió en una actriz importante a la que llamaron “primera dama del teatro israelí”, ganando el premio de teatro de Israel 1987 y 1998, y otros numerosos galardones. Hoy tiene 95 años y vive en Israel.

In How Patronal Networks Shape Opportunities for Local Citizen Participation in a Hybrid Regime: A Comparative Analysis of Five Cities in Ukraine (Ibidem, 2022), Oleksandra Keudel proposes a novel explanation for why some local governments in hybrid regimes enable citizen participation while others restrict it. She argues that mechanisms for citizen participation are by-products of political dynamics of informal business-political (patronal) networks that seek domination over local governments. Against the backdrop of either competition or coordination between patronal networks in their localities, municipal leaders cherry-pick citizen participation mechanisms as a tactic to sustain their own access to resources and functions of local governments. This argument is based on an in-depth comparative analysis of patronal network arrangements and the adoption of citizen participation mechanisms in five urban municipalities in Ukraine during 2015-2019: Chernivtsi, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi, Lviv, and Odesa. Fifty-seven interviews with citizen participation experts, local politicians and officials, representatives of civil society and the media, as well as utilization of secondary analytical sources, official government data, and media reports provide a rich basis for an investigation of context-specific choices of municipal leaders that result in varying mechanisms for citizen participation. John Vsetecka is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at Michigan State University where he is finishing a dissertation that examines the aftermath of the 1932-33 famine in Soviet Ukraine (Holodomor).

The former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Williams joined other faith leaders on a visit to Ukraine this week. Its purpose, he said, was “affirm our solidarity with victims of this appalling war, and express thanks for the courage shown by the Ukrainian people, in the hope that we can at least let them know that they are not forgotten”. During the visit, Lord Williams, along with other faith leaders, spoke at an event in Chernivtsi, "Faith in Ukraine," organised by the Elijah Interfaith Institute and the Peace Department.

I haven't talked to my buddy Skyler McKinley from AAA Colorado in a while and I have a stack of interesting transportation news that is coming out of his office like gas prices, oil prices, summer travel, road trips and a very interesting story about the increase in fatal wrecks even though fewer people have been driving since the start of Covid. Also, how tone deaf is Moovit sending out the below press release about lower transit use in Ukraine since the war? See for yourself.

Political scientist and historian Nataliya Nechayeva-Yuriychuk tells podcast host Florian Kührer-Wielach about the situation in Chernivtsi and at the university.

A Ucrânia não é apenas rica em produtos agrícolas e recursos minerais. A história do país tem odisseias envolvendo tribos eslavas, czares e cossacos. Os rastros estão em monumentos que testemunham esses períodos. Mas com a invasão russa, a Unesco teme pela preservação desses tesouros. A Ucrânia possui nada menos que sete sítios inscritos no patrimônio cultural mundial da Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura, além de outros em lista indicativa da entidade. Temendo pela integridade dessas relíquias, a Unesco lançou um alerta público, pedindo respeito ao direito internacional humanitário, em particular a Convenção da Haia de 1954 para a Proteção de Bens Culturais em Caso de Conflito Armado e seus dois Protocolos (1954 e 1999), para garantir a prevenção de danos ao patrimônio cultural da Ucrânia em todas as suas formas.  “Devemos preservar o patrimônio cultural da Ucrânia, não só como testemunha do passado, mas também como fermento da paz e da coesão pelo futuro”, declarou a diretora geral da Unesco, Audrey Azoulay. A entidade diz que tem estado em contato permanente com instituições culturais e profissionais no país para tentar avaliar a situação e reforçar a proteção dos bens culturais. “Até o momento, as informações que a Unesco conseguiu colher nos permite perceber que o patrimônio cultural do país começa a sofrer danos, como resultado do conflito em curso”, explicou à RFI o diretor do centro do patrimônio mundial da Unesco, Lazare Eloundou Assomo. “Estamos vendo esse conflito se aproximar cada vez mais de Kiev, que é uma cidade inscrita no patrimônio mundial da Unesco - a cidade tem uma catedral magnifica, a catedral de Santa Sofia, além de um conjunto de edificações monásticas e um mosteiro”, relata Assomo. “É o berço da igreja ortodoxa russa; se esse sítio for atingido nos próximos dias, acho que será uma perda para a humanidade inteira, não apenas para o povo ucraniano”, lamenta. Tesouros em risco Além dos dois sítios inscritos na Unesco em Kiev, há um na Crimeia, região anexada à Rússia em 2014. Trata-se de vestígios de uma cidade fundada pelos gregos dóricos no século 5 a.C., na costa norte do mar Negro. Por enquanto não há informações sobre danos no sítio, informa o representante da Unesco. A lista conta ainda com o centro histórico de Lviv, cidade fundada no final da Idade Média, preservada – por enquanto - de forma praticamente intacta. Ainda na lista da Unesco estão o Arco geodésico de Struve, as antigas florestas primarias de faias (que abrange Alemanha, Eslováquia e Ucrânia), a residência dos Metropolitas da Bucovina e Dalmácia, em Chernivtsi, e Tserkvas (igrejas) de madeira da região dos Cárpatos. “Há sítios inscritos na lista indicativa da Ucrânia e que estão previstos para serem incluídos na lista do patrimônio mundial da Unesco, como o centro histórico de Chernihiv, que é muito importante”, relata o diretor do centro do patrimônio mundial da Unesco. “Há também cidades de efervescência criativa, com uma vida cultural vibrante até o início das hostilidades, como é o caso de Kharkiv”, acrescenta Assomo. “Teatros e instalações culturais foram certamente destruídos, a vida cultural desapareceu”, lamenta. “Há museus que fazem parte do circuito cultural que existe em toda a Ucrânia, todos muito ricos em história que também foram atingidos; há pinturas que foram queimadas.”

Oleksandr Sushinsky talks about the atmosphere in Chernivtsi and the support for those thousands who fled to the city.

Au sommaire: le point de la situation en Ukraine; la ville de Chernivtsi au sud-ouest de l'Ukraine se prépare à la guerre; les sous-sols d'un hôpital de Kiev investis pour mieux se protéger contre la guerre; et les journalistes au Mexique entre peur et résignation après une série d'assassinats.

A group of Ghanaian students who were living in Chernivtsi in Ukraine have been evacuated to Romania, following arrangements made by the Foreign Ministry.

"Als ik ga slapen ben ik bang voor het nieuws in de ochtend." Interview met Oekraïense Zaandamse Alla Kolibaba. De oorlog in Oekraïne is geen ver van ons Zaanse bed show. Ook in onze eigen omgeving wonen diverse Oekraïeners en Russen. Zoals de Oekraïense Alla Kolibaba (30 jaar) die met haar Russische echtgenoot en hun kindje op het Zaaneiland woont in Zaandam. Alla maakt zich zorgen om haar familie in de stad Chernivtsi (in het westen van Oekraïne). Het is daar nu nog rustig maar er komen veel vluchtelingen uit andere delen van het land naartoe. "Mijn zus heeft in haar bedrijf accommodatie gemaakt waar mensen kunnen verblijven." In de Radio Orkaan podcast praat Edwin Kleiss uitgebreid met Alla. Wat kunnen we zelf doen? Wie zelf iets wil bijdragen wordt opgeroepen zich te laten horen en de regering een brief te sturen. Wil je geld bijdragen? Doe dat dan via officiële organisaties, dan weet je dat het goed terecht komt. Zo is er bijvoorbeeld de stichting 'Oekraïeners in Nederland' die goed werk verricht. Zie: https://www.ukrainians.nl/ Ook grote organisaties als het rode kruis doen goed werk. -------- Een podcast voor De Orkaan, de lokale omroep voor Zaanstreek en Wormerland.

–Written and narrated by Peter Bejger.History, trauma, and the museum space. Museums can offer many faces to the world. From dusty collections of artefacts to dramatic arenas outlining—or avoiding—compelling national or cultural narratives.A recent lecture sponsored by the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe in Lviv looked at the role museums play in tackling difficult issues of history.Vadim Altskan, originally born in Ukraine, is a historian specializing in Eastern European, Balkan, and Jewish history. He is a Project Director for the International Archival Programs at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies.Altskan’s lecture was entitled “The Missing Page in Museums: The History of Jewish Communities as Part of the Multiethnic Heritage of Ukraine.”The challenge of integrating the history of the Jewish communities of Ukraine into the museums and educational systems of contemporary Ukraine is not a problem unique to that country alone.Ukraine’s neighbors in Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet space have grappled with this issue with varying degrees of frustration and success.Altskan made the fundamental point that to provoke interest in other people’s lives requires you to show who they were, how they lived, and why they are no longer here. Museums play a key role in showing, or not showing, all of this.So how is Jewish history presented in Ukrainian museums today? Altskan noted the national network of privately funded Jewish museums, with the largest in Dnipro, and others in Odesa, Chernivtsi, Kharkiv, Kryviy Rih, Khmelnytsky, Kherson, Kyiv, and Lviv. Some interesting temporary exhibitions are now being held in state museums, most recently in Lviv.Nonetheless, current Ukrainian public knowledge of Ukrainian Jewish history is fragmentary and incomplete. Why is Ukrainian Jewish history missing? And how can it be returned to the Ukrainian public?Altskan forthrightly listed the problems in developing a jointly acceptable Ukrainian and Jewish narrative for museums and the educational sector. There is a vague and distorted knowledge of each other’s history. There is ethnocentrism. There are viewpoints that don’t fit into the well-established concerns and canons of each community’s history.Altskan identified five problematic areas of history. They include the Khmelnytsky Cossack uprising against the Poles in the 17th century. There was the Haidamak popular rebellion against the Polish regime in the 18th century. There were the pogroms in Russian-tsarist ruled central and eastern Ukraine in the 19th century. There was the bloody Civil War after the Russian Revolution of 1917, followed a couple of decades later by the Holocaust. Altskan asked how all these historic events could be treated by both nations. Do we see these events differently? And why? All of this is aggravated and complicated.Altskan underlined that for much of their history Jews and Ukrainians lived in two solitudes, in two parallel worlds. While a Jewish-Ukrainian dialogue gathered speed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fueled by emerging nationalism and Zionism, the Ukrainian state building project failed to be implemented after the First World War.

Poetry in a time of war.Such is the headline by the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, or FAZ, in its recent reporting on the dynamic annual poetry festival Meridian Czernowitz, held earlier in September in the western Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi.Why war? Because the newspaper picked up the subtle influences of the war with Russia in the East on this gracious city far from the front. As international literati gathered to celebrate the word, young men in camouflage and stony faces marched under the chestnut trees.And why Czernowitz?Such was the name of this city from 1774 to 1918 when it was the capital of the Imperial Austrian crownland of Bukovina under the reign of the legendary Habsburg dynasty.In this period it became known as a “Little Vienna” due to its architectural style. And also for the fact it was the home of a growing German-speaking community and German-language university.But the city was always cosmopolitan—a center for both the Ukrainian and Romanian national movements. And in 1908 it was the site of the first Yiddish language conference. Not surprising, as nearly a third of the city by this time was Jewish.The stories of this city and surrounding region have been told in many languages. By the Ukrainian writers Olha Kobylianska and Yuri Fedkovych. The German novelist Gregor von Rezzori and the Israeli writer Aharon Appelfeld. Czernowitz, now known as Chernivtsi, gained a lasting literary mystique.Above all, it is famous as the native city of the Jewish poet Paul Celan, who wrote in German. His renowned and very much analyzed poem ''Death Fugue'' became a sensation for its metaphorical evocation of the Holocaust. The opening lines of the poem read, ''Black milk of daybreak we drink it at nightfall / we drink it at noon in the morning we drink it at night.''Born in Chernivtsi in 1920, Celan is considered one of the greatest poets ever to have written in the German language in the twentieth century. He survived the Holocaust, but his parents did not. He carried a heavy burden of survivor’s guilt and depression and committed suicide in Paris in 1970.Celan wrote of Chernivsti as a meridian, a kind of immaterial bond that unites people all around the world.Thus the Meridian Czernowitz International Poetry Festival. It is an event built on the foundation of the cultural heritage of Chernivtsi. It celebrates a historical memory and literary legacy of its inhabitants.The stated purpose of the festival is the return of Chernivtsi to the cultural map of Europe and the development of dialogue between contemporary Ukrainian poets and their foreign counterparts.Yevhenia Lopata, the director of the festival, told the website Ukrainska Pravda, “Everything was under our feet. We just needed people who could gather all of this, systematize it, and create an event.”Of course what was underfoot was the multicultural history of Chernivtsi and the multiplicity of languages. And thus one of the central features of Meridian this year was “Like They Do in Babylon.”Groups of poets from various nations would gather on stage, or under the open sky in the center of the city. They read the poems they wrote in their original language. Their fellow poets would follow with translation, or even several translations. And there would not only be translations, but interpretive riffs on the original, or a collage based on motifs from several poems.This Bukovinian Tower of Babel showed, as reported by the FAZ and other German-language media now intrigued by the festival, See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

-Written and narrated by Peter Bejger.“I saw that that the windows of these ruined houses were stuffed with rags or boarded up. In these unheated kennels were human beings, whole families, starving, usually sick because all kinds of epidemics were raging….”One hundred years a bitter war was raging throughout Europe. One of the most devastated regions was the borderland of Galicia. Here the massive armies of Tsarist Russia clashed with those of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Imperial Germany. The front surged back and forth. Refugees streamed in all directions. Towns were looted and burned to the ground. Villagers were taken hostage. Exiled. Lynched. And raped.Into this devastation the influential Jewish-Russian writer S. Ansky was sent to organize relief for devastated Jewish communities. Ansky, born Shloyme Zanvel ben-Aaron Rappaport in Belarus, lived from 1863 to 1920. He is best known for his classic drama The Dybbuk. One of Ansky’s greatest contributions was the archive of Jewish folklore he collected during ethnographic expeditions in the Pale of Settlement before the First World War. These songs, stories, and superstitions recorded a culture already on the brink. A culture hit by the forces of emigration, persecution, and modernity. And now war.Ansky maneuvered through a treacherous terrain in wartime Galicia during his relief work. His harrowing experiences were detailed in the Yiddish-language book The Destruction of Galicia published after his death. The book is available in English under the title The Enemy At His Pleasure.Ansky was a citizen of a Russian Empire that was often capriciously brutal to Jews and other minorities. The Russian army brought along this brutality when marching into Austrian-ruled Galicia. There it faced a complex ethnic and political situation. Galician Jews under Austria had enjoyed civil equality. Two very different worlds collided. Ansky saw that Galician Jews had a cult-like dedication to the old Austrian Kaiser Franz Joseph. But everyone had to navigate among other groups. The politically dominant German speakers, the Poles, or the Ruthenians, as the Ukrainians were then called, had their own conflicting agendas.Ansky observed, “At the start of the war, Austria’s Poles were in an ambiguous position, while the Ruthenians stood apart from everyone. The Galician Jews, however, stuck to their pro-Austrian orientation, flaunting it in the most delicate of circumstances, with no concern for horrible consequences.”The consequences were bleak, and Ansky’s sharply observant reports detailed how the people of Galicia “had lost the supreme sanctity of human dignity.”“Packed military trains dashed by every few minutes….Now a medical train flew by. In every window you could see bandaged heads, hands, and other parts of the body….Next, a freight train stuffed with prisoners.…Long, long trains, one after another, kept lumbering by, carrying Ruthenian refugees, most women and children. The passengers were crammed together like chickens in a cage. Some cars were packed with schoolboys, others with intellectuals. No baggage, no belongings were to be seen.”After bearing witness to the devastation, Ansky was affected by a form of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He described one visit to Russian-occupied Chernivtsi, which he called “an oasis in the wasteland.”“Riding through the wide, bustling streets, I saw large boutiques filled with all sorts of elegant articles, the rich edifices, the hotels with their good, clean rooms, the posters announcing soirees, concerts, spectacles, and other entertainments. I felt spirited away to a different world. And yet I experienced a strange and horrible sensation: I caught myself longing for the burned, mutilated homes and stores. My eyes looked for them.

This paper is based on our research on the former Habsburg Austrian city of Czernowitz – now Chernivtsi in the Ukraine – and the region formerly known as Transnistria, to which thousands of Czernowitz Jews were deported by fascist Romanians and their Nazi German allies during World War Two. It contrasts incipient and reluctant local efforts to memorialize this complicated and painful history with the memorial acts of Czernowitz survivors and their descendants scattered throughout the world. What has been erased and forgotten in contemporary Chernivtsi, takes ever-new form in the memories returning survivors bring back to place and, even more fully, in the lively afterlife this destroyed European Jewish culture displays on the World Wide Web. We argue that memory has become “connective” – generated by digital archives and practices and by the communities these foster on digital social networks. These communities elicit desires for renewed “return” engagements to place that, in turn, continue to energize additional digital listserv and website interactivity. Marianne Hirsch is the William Peterfield Trent Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University and Professor in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Hirsch was born in Romania to parents who survived the Holocaust, and she received her BA/MA and PhD from Brown University. In 1998 Hirsch had the opportunity with Leo Spitzer to revisit Czernowitz, now Chernivitsi, Romania, to collect narratives and histories from her parents’ former home where they endured years of persecution. These as well as other intricately connected memories and remembrances of the Holocaust are collected in Ghosts of Home: the Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory (2010), co-authored with Leo Spitzer.Hirsch is the former editor of PMLA and the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the ACLS, the Mary Ingraham Bunting Institute, the National Humanities Center, and the Bellagio and Bogliasco Foundations. Her book, The Generation of Postmemory: Gender and Visuality After the Holocaust, is forthcoming in 2012. Leo Spitzer is the Kathe Tappe Vernon Professor of History Emeritus at Dartmouth College. His numerous publications and essays, including Hotel Bolivia: The Culture of Memory in a Refuge from Nazism (1999) and Lives in Between: Assimilation and Marginality in Austria, Brazil and West Africa (1999), directly or indirectly deal with displacement, resistance, and with the role of personal and cultural memory. A significant contribution to this line of thought stems from his own childhood when his parents fled from war-torn Austria to Bolivia where he was born and raised in La Paz within a community of German-speaking refugees. Spitzer recalls the tenacity of this community who courageously adjusted their lives to reconfigure spaces where they might both remember the traditions of their past and leave room for new beginnings. From 1992-1993, Spitzer was a Lucius Littauer Fellow at the National Humanities Center, and he is the recipient of Guggenheim, Ford, and NEH awards and fellowships, among others.
