▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. History - Doctor of Philosophy 2014.
The dissertation examines the role of Polish Catholic domestic workers employed in middle-class Jewish households during the interwar period and the ways that the relationships that developed in the domestic realm influenced decisions to seek or provide aid during the Holocaust. It argues that the relationships that sometimes formed in the domestic realm caused Polish Catholic domestic workers to see their Jewish employers as belonging to their own community of obligation and to sometimes then aid them during the Nazi persecution. In addition, this work examines how middle-class Polish culture was transmitted to Jewish children by their acculturated parents, sometimes via the family's Polish Catholic maid and the ways this maid also familiarized her charges with Polish Catholic peasant culture. This dissertation asserts that this familiarity with Polish culture and the hybrid identities the children of these households sometimes formed was useful in later allowing them to pass as Catholic Poles on the so-called Aryan side if the opportunity was present during the Nazi Occupation period. The dissertation is comprised of two parts. The first examines the prewar period to explore how Polish Catholic women from the countryside made their niches within urban Jewish households, how Polish middle class culture was transmitted to children in acculturated Jewish homes, and to examine how these children then further developed their hybridic Polish Jewish identities while in the public realm, away from the control of their parents and caregivers. The second part of the dissertation examines the initial responses of the domestic workers and their Jewish employers to the Nazi invasion of Poland and the ghettoization of the Jewish population, how it was decided to place Jewish children and families into hiding outside the ghetto, and case studies of children hidden with their former Polish caregivers.

Jewish identity construction in contemporary Poland: Influences and alternatives in ethnic renewal.

▼ In many parts of the world today,
ethnic identity is not merely the product of socialization, but is the result of conscious choice on the part of the individual. Nowhere is this more evident than in the countries of the former East Bloc, where sweeping political changes have removed many barriers to the expression of
ethnic sentiment. The present work represents an attempt to build a generalizable model of
ethnic identity construction by identifying the major influences on group conceptions of
ethnic identity and describing the process by which those conceptions change over time. The primary case study focuses on the construction of
ethnic identity among Polish Jews born after World War II. Conclusions are based primarily on data collected in interviews with members of that community. Traditionally, theories of ethnicity have posited a unity of beliefs, values or behaviors within an
ethnic group. In contrast to traditional theories, the model proposed here focuses on major areas of conflict within groups, positing that conflict over issues deemed relevant in some degree to all members of the group is the driving force behind
ethnic change. In choosing to identify, members of
ethnic groups are presented with a set of issues, which are both important and controversial for the group, on which they feel obligated to take a position. The set of controversial issues relevant to a given group at a given time, the model posits, is determined by three factors: differences between cohorts arising from their formative experiences; differences between subgroups arising from conflicts between communal institutions; and differences between subgroups arising from their varied responses to input from outside groups. Whereas works on ethnicity in the field of political science have tended to focus on nationalism, or the pursuit of statehood by
ethnic groups, this model treats nationalism and organized political behavior in general as a potential outgrowth of ethnicity, but not as its necessary byproduct.

▼ The Holocaust and post-war anti-Semitism-propelled
migration changed the face of Poland, a country that for centuries
has been the heartland of the Jewish diaspora. Remnants of the
Polish Jewry that did not emigrate, regardless of whether they
considered themselves Poles, Poles of Jewish descent or Polish
Jews, often felt fearful about speaking of their ancestry, let
alone acting upon it. Jewish organizations and social life did not
disappear, but religious congregations in particular gradually
diminished in number and activity. Post-socialist Poland has become
an arena of profound transformation of Jewish communal life,
fostered by stakeholders with distinct agendas and resources:
empowered and politically emancipated Jewish Religious Communities,
now-marginalized secular organizations of the communist era, a
nascent generation of Polish Jewish activists and volunteers, and
transnational Jewish non-governmental organizations.My thesis
explores Polish Jewish communal life and experiences of being and
becoming Jewish. It is a study after the ‘revival’, but revealing
its looming presence in unsolved predicaments over a Jewish future,
global structural dependencies, and temporal dynamics of programs
of socialization. I argue that the post-socialist reality not only
witnessed the coming of a new Polish Jewish generation, but also
the emergence of a new sociality, shaped in two decades of
continuous friction between ontologies, agendas and hopes
originating in different locations within, and on different scales
of, the Polish Jewish contemporaneity. This new Polish Jewish
reality invites us to rethink the impact of globalization on the
Jewish diaspora in Eastern Europe, and also offers a new
perspective on the role of global NGOs in the contemporary
world.

Understanding How Under-engaged Jewish Teens Self-articulate And Self-express Jewish Identity And Jewish Identification.

▼ This study was inspired by the abundance of literature regarding the withdrawal of non-Orthodox American Jewish teenagers from an active Jewish life (Ravitch, 2002a; Ravitch, 2002b; Kosmin & Keysar, 2000; Kadushin, Saxe, Brodsky, Kelner, & Stern, 2000; BTW Informing Change & Rosov Consulting, 2013; Wertheimer, 2008; Goldstein & Fishman, 1993). This situation has been called an "epidemic that threatens the future of American Jewry" (Ravitch, 2002b, p. 254). Practitioners and scholars in the field of Jewish education have studied Jewish identity and spiritual development for decades, including the impact of various Jewish education experiences, the ongoing Jewish behaviors of adults in the community, and why many teenagers disengage post-Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Prior studies have not explored the information about Judaism that has been embedded in these under-engaged teenagers and how this information impacts how Jewish teenagers talk about their Jewishness. This study sought to answer the primary research question: How do under-engaged Jewish teens self-articulate and self-express Jewish identity and Jewish identification? Portraiture methodology was used to capture how three Atlanta-suburb teenagers articulated and expressed their Jewish identity and Jewish identification. Each of the study participants grew up attending supplemental Jewish education programs and celebrated their Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremonies, but then disengaged from organized communal Jewish education or social experiences. As current high school junior and seniors, the study participants reflected on how Judaism has shaped who they are, their interactions with Judaism in their daily lives, and the ongoing meaning they derive from being a part of the Jewish people. Major findings included a) a unanimous belief that Jewish values (sometimes expressed as mitzvot) shaped their innate desire to "be a good person;" b) meaning-making occurs through nostalgic memories of Jewish holidays celebrated with their families as children; c) Jewish individuals aspire to pass some aspect of Judaism on to future generations; and d) individuals have a sense of belonging to a large group (i.e. the Jewish people). The theoretical framework of the self-concept theory was used to assess the solidification (or lack thereof) of a Jewish self-schema in each study participant. Keywords: Jewish education, Jewish teens, Jewish identity, Judaism, ethnic minority identity, portraiture, self-concept theory.

▼ This dissertation examines the development of
ethnic
consciousness in Boston's Irish and
Jewish communities in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, focusing on several
interrelated areas of analysis: religion, public service,
ethnic
nationalism, and popular culture. As the city's leading
non-Protestant groups, Irish and Jews challenged ideas of Yankee
superiority, arguing they could retain their
ethnic culture and
still be respected, patriotic citizens. Both groups consisted of a
small middle class of businessmen and professionals and a large
immigrant working class. From these factions emerged the competing
voices of individuals who sought to find the best way to promote
the compatibility of their religion, culture, and
ethnic
nationalist aspirations with American loyalties. After decades of
trying to achieve full acceptance, Irish and Jews saw World War I
as the ultimate test of
ethnic patriotism; instead of conforming to
a prescribed notion of Anglo-Protestant citizenship, they insisted
on the centrality of their religion and culture to civic
identity.
Yet while their war service brought confidence in their rights as
ethnic Americans, it did not bring total acceptance. By the 1920s,
the Irish controlled local public life, but assumed a defensive
posture toward the Yankee elite; Jews, meanwhile, were optimistic
regarding interfaith cooperation, despite increasing antisemitism.
This study expands on and moves beyond present studies of immigrant
acculturation by adding a new comparative dimension. It examines
the contested expressions of
ethnic patriotism based on class,
gender, and generation within two
ethnic communities, demonstrating
how
ethnic groups utilized similar strategies to project a positive
public image and articulate their place in society. It also shows
the intersection of local, national, and international concerns in
the development of
ethnic consciousness. Irish and Jews created
hybrid
ethnic cultures rooted in religion, cultural practices, and
mass consumerism that would survive for decades in the city's
entrenched
ethnic neighborhoods.

▼ This study examines Polish-Jewish relations during the pivotal eight months between the declaration of Polish Independence on November 11, 1918 and the formal re-establishment of the Polish state by its recognition by the Allied and Associated Powers at the Paris Peace Conference on June 28, 1919. The thesis explores the background to Polish-Jewish relations in the years immediately preceding the period under investigation in order to place the events in their political and socio-economic context. The key to the present study is a detailed examination of the controversial anti-Jewish outrages that occurred in the disputed Russo-Polish-Ukrainian borderlands, namely in Lwów in November 1918, and at Pińsk in April 1919. It is important not only to scrutinise these events in detail, but furthermore to place them in their full international perspective. The direct result was the imposition of a Minorities Treaty upon Poland, which was largely drafted during the final months of the Peace Conference. Polish anti-Jewish violence was not the only factor that influenced the Allies gathered at Versailles, yet the peacemakers felt compelled to treat Poland as a special case. The Treaty further strained the interdependent links between Poles and Jews, both in Poland and the west, as the dominant group saw it as an unfair limitation on its sovereignty. Polish resentment at the perceived influence of ‘international Jewry’ further heightened tensions between the two, yet the drafting of the Minorities Treaty was emphatically not as a result of the ‘Jewish lobby’ (which was in fact divided) that had gathered in the French capital in an attempt to further Jewish demands in both Eastern Europe and Palestine. The damage done to Polish-Jewish relationships during the crucial period of 1918-1919 not only strained interaction between those groups in the months covered by the thesis, but also exacerbated the Jewish ‘problem’ during the course of the Second Polish Republic and beyond.

▼ This project examines the depiction of Jewish and Christian identity in Acts of the Apostles by placing the writer’s ethnic claims within a broader material and epigraphic context. Scholarship on Jewish identity in Acts has often emphasized Jewish and Christian religious difference, an emphasis that has tended to mask the intersections of civic, ethnic, and religious identifications in antiquity. Such identity categories did not exist as distinct, stable entities. Rather, as discussions of identity in antiquity demonstrate, they were contested, negotiable, and ambiguous. Bringing Acts into conversation with recent scholarly insights regarding identity as represented in Roman era material and epigraphic remains shows that Acts presents Jews and Jewish identity in multiple, complex ways, rather than as a simple foil for “Christianity.”
The dissertation argues that when the modern distinctions between ethnic, religious, and civic identities are suspended, the innovative ethnic rhetoric of the author of Acts comes into focus. The underlying connection between ethnic, religious, and civic identities provided him with space to present non-Jewish Christians as converted Jews and therefore to identify all Christians as Jews. On the basis of this identification, he marked Christians as a unified Jewish community that enhanced the stability of the city, contrasting them with other Jewish communities. By creating an internal distinction between Christians and other Jews, he privileged Christians as the members of an ideal, unified Jewish community and contrasted them with what he identified as factious, local Jewish associations.

▼ Abstract Focusing on the "Dear Diane" advice letters, both the English and Chinese texts, this dissertation explores a group of young Chinese immigrant women as they encounter American culture as Chinese Americans were reshaped by new immigration and radical demographic changes in the 1980s. By utilizing assimilation theory as a framework for analyzing Chinese immigration, this work examines several important dimensions and aspects of young Chinese American women's adaptation to American life. This study also compares the "Dear Diane" letters with the
Jewish "Bintel Brief" letters in order to explore some common characteristics of the female immigrant experience in the United States. The writer identifies a number of issues that young Chinese American women including the intensifying generational conflict and
identity dislocation. Moreover, the writer finds that both groups of letters reveal that Chinese young women faced similar issues as their counterparts – other
ethnic Asian and
Jewish women. With a strong desire to Americanize, young Chinese American women often faced conflict with both their parents and mainstream society. Therefore, assimilation for young Chinese women was problematic, painstaking, and a prolonged process.

Remembering the Holocaust and the Jewish Past in Kraków,

▼ This thesis examines the ways in which the
Holocaust and the
Jewish past have been remembered in Kraków,
investigates the impact local memory work has had on Polish
collective memory, and problematises the importance of the 1989
threshold for that memory work. Looking at Kraków, an exceptional
and exceptionally important case study, between 1980 and 2013, the
thesis investigates heritage creations in Kazimierz, the old
Jewish
Town, and traces the genealogies of Holocaust exhibitions presented
in Kraków. It also traces the emergence of urban critical
narratives about the past, pertaining both to the city and to
Poland as a whole. Created in opposition to the mainstream
ethno-nationalist narrative, which was often supported by both the
Communist and the democratic governments, the interpretation of the
past laid out in Kraków gradually incorporated the
Jewish past into
the narrative on Polish history. The thesis demonstrates how, over
the course of thirty years, Jews came to be presented as rightful
members of the Polish national community, and the Holocaust as an
integral part of Polish war history, albeit still distinct to other
sufferings.At the forefront of the process of excavating and
presenting Kraków’s
Jewish past were local memory activists. In
particular, this thesis highlights the pivotal role played by
mid-ranking officials from municipal administration and by fictive
kinships in the process of urbanisation of memory. These
individuals and groups translated the ideas of critical engagement
with the nation’s history, propagated by some sections of the
national elite, into a form that could be consumed by a mass
audience. In addition, the thesis demonstrates that memory work on
a local level persisted almost uninterrupted through the transition
to democracy. Activists responsible for the creation of inclusive
narratives in the 1980s, and the Krakowian intelligentsia in
general, carried those ideas forward through the collapse of
Communism – no radical reformulation of representations of the
Jewish past or the Holocaust took place in the early 1990s. The
local narratives grew progressively more critical and increasingly
more cosmopolitan from the 1980s onward, but this process only
truly accelerated after 2010. The present thesis argues that this
post-2010 intensification was only possible after local activists
had embraced new forms of commemoration and new modes of
authentication within museum exhibitions. In particular it points
toward the espousal of ‘complementary authenticities,’ a mode of
authentication of narratives strongly anchored in history that at
the same time aimed to incite an emotional response. This
incorporation of ‘complementary authenticities’ allowed for the
creation of narratives that sensitised audiences to the suffering
of Poles regardless of their
ethnic background. Thus the thesis
relates the developments of memory work in Kraków to broader
changes in culture, rather than solely to changes in political
life.

Justice as Witness: Jews Facing Polish Courts During the German Occupation (1939-1942).

▼ In
Poland, during the German occupation (1939-1945), the Polish courts were one of the few institutions left in the hands of the Poles. Furthermore, they remained one of the rare physical areas where Poles and Jews could legally meet each other after the closure of ghettos. Because of the lack of involvement of Germans in this administrative sphere, the courts were a rare domain where Poles and Jews could continue to interact without any overt interference and control by the occupier.
This dissertation aims to be an exploration of a new kind of document, namely the court records from the district of Warsaw (the Municipal Court of Otwock, the District Court of Siedlce and the Appellate court of Warsaw). This micro-analysis, made from a sample of cases from the above-mentioned courtrooms, seeks to give a new perspective to the study of relations between Jews and Poles during the war. Since people from different backgrounds found themselves at court and transacted with the Jews – police officers, judges, members of the court, to name but a few – the documents allow us to see different types of relations grouped here under three categories: administrative, legal and social. It highlights the communication channels between different levels of administration in
Poland (members of the courts, lawyers, police officers, prison officials), and their influence regarding the
Jewish lives. Using official Polish documents from the pre-war period – the March Constitution, the Criminal code and the code of procedure, criminal statistics, to name a few – and court documents for the first years of the war, this research seeks to demonstrate that prejudices, bias and anti-Semitic actions taken against the Jews were deeply rooted in Polish customs and
identity, and were not, as the nationalistic historiography said, a consequence of the German occupation.
In addition to the examination of relations between Poles and Jews, this research sheds new light on the issue of
Jewish life and death during the 1939-1942 period. It highlights the difficulties experienced by Jews due to the evolution of German regulations. Since the court was open to everyone, the documents provide important information about Jews that do not appear in traditional historical sources. It is thus possible to trace the journey of these people remained until now in anonymity. The research helps to better understand the fate of the Jews before the onset of the “Final Solution” and, in many cases, it enables us to rethink the choices and challenges faced by the victims.

A presente dissertação abre um debate acerca do processo de formação de fronteiras étnicas e religiosas em/entre três comunidades judaicas atuantes no município de Campina Grande/PB, chamando atenção para determinados elementos e estratégias do cotidiano que operam como verdadeiros marcos de diferenciação e afirmação identitária. Por meio da descrição de eventos
comunitários (reuniões, ritos e festividades) e da reconstrução narrativa de determinadas histórias de vida de indivíduos em suas interações sociais no espaço familiar e religioso, o trabalho analisa como a histórica “resistência cultural judaica” se traduz em pequenos detalhes de pensamento e ação que revelam diferenciadas “artes de se tornar judeu”.
The current dissertation opens a debate about the ethnic and religious borders formation process in/among three Jewish communities active in the city of Campina Grande/PB, drawing attention to determined elements and daily strategies that operate as true milestones of differentiation and identity affirmation. Through description of communitarian events (meetings, rituals and festivities) and the narrative reconstruction of certain life stories of individuals in their social interactions in familiar and religious spaces, this work analyses as the history “jewish cultural resistance” translates itself in little details of thought and
action which reveal differentiated “arts of becoming jewish”.

▼ This study had two major purposes. The first focused upon understanding the development of aspects of
ethnic development among 4- and 7-year-old Chinese-American boys and girls from immigrant and non-immigrant families. The second focused upon understanding the contribution of selected parental (fathers' and mothers') characteristics on aspects of
children's
ethnic development. Results revealed 7-year-olds had significantly higher
ethnic awareness and cognition scores than 4-year-olds. However, 7-year-olds also had significantly lower negative
ethnic attitudes scores, and tended to have lower
ethnic preference scores than 4-year-olds. In addition,
ethnic awareness and cognition were the criterion variables harboring most of the significant predictor variables. Age was the strongest predictor variable. Parental (fathers' and mothers' combined) encouragement was a significant negative predictor of
children's negative attitudes, while parental child rearing attitudes tended to be a positive predictor of
children's
ethnic awareness. Among 4-year-olds,
ethnic awareness and cognition were the criterion variables harboring most of the significant predictor variables. Among 7-year-olds, however,
ethnic preference and positive
ethnic attitudes were those harboring most of the significant predictor variables. Selected fathers' characteristics appeared to be more predictive of aspects of
children's
ethnic development than mothers', particularly among 4-year-olds. However, selected fathers' and mothers' characteristics were found to contribute both positively and negatively to aspects of 4- and 7-year-old Chinese-American
children's
ethnic development.

▼ The purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study was to examine the
ethnic identities of Saudi sojourner
children who accompanied their parents during their study sojourns in the United States. The research questions investigated Saudi sojourner mothers attitudes towards maintaining the
ethnic identity of their
children, and their
children s perceptions of their Saudi ethnicity while living temporarily in the United States. The study explained
children s perceptions of their Saudi ethnicity based on the framework of Social
Identity Theory (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Furthermore, the study examined different factors that shape Saudi
children s
ethnic identities while living in the United States through a lens of the Ecological Systems Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1986). The sample consisted of six mothers and eleven
children who lived in the United States between five and eight years. The
children ranged in age from six to twelve years. Both the mothers and their
children were interviewed, and the
children were asked to draw two pictures of themselves, one in Saudi Arabia and one in the United States. All interview sessions were audio-recoded. The analytical process included analytical memos, transcribing, member checking, and cross-case analysis. The cross-case analysis included two cycles of coding. Three major themes were identified under Saudi sojourner mothers attitudes towards maintaining their
children s
ethnic identities: privileges, concerns, and factors that shape the
ethnic identity of Saudi sojourner
children. Also, three major themes were identified under Saudi sojourner
children s perceptions of their Saudi ethnicity: sense of belonging, preferences, and friendship. The findings revealed Saudi mothers worries about jeopardy of their
children s
ethnic identities during their temporary stay in the United States. Mothers attempted to maintain their
children s Saudi ethnicities through practicing Saudi rituals in their daily lives such as cooking Saudi food, speaking Arabic, enforcing religious practices, interacting with the local Saudi community, and maintaining strong connections with their extended families. Furthermore, the majority of Saudi sojourner
children formed positive views of the Saudi culture and developed multicultural identities, were attached to both Saudi Arabia and the United States, and have developed multicultural identities.

▼ The nature of
Jewish identity was investigated in this
study. It was suggested that
Jewish identity is an
ethnic identity,
which is different from
Jewish identification. It was also
suggested that
Jewish ethnic identity is related to measures of
well-being and religiosity and spirituality. The instruments of
this study included the Multigroup
Ethnic Identity Measure, the
Collective Self-Esteem Scale, the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, the
National
Jewish Population Survey Identification Scale, the Global
Spirituality Assessment Inventory, the Religious Orientation Scale,
and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and a
demographic questionnaire. Two samples of participants completed
these measures on the internet. The first sample consisted of
college students recruited from the Research Experience Program at
The Ohio State University. The second sample was recruited from
various organizations in the community. The findings of this study
indicate that
Jewish identity is an
ethnic identity.
Jewish ethnic
identity was positively correlated with
Jewish Identification,
lower rates of depression, higher self-esteem, and higher rates of
satisfaction with life.
Jewish ethnic identity was also found to be
related to measures of religiosity and spirituality, and this
relationship was moderated by
Jewish identification.

▼ This dissertation explores the ways in which
individuals and groups create and recreate their personal and
collective histories, the membership boundaries of their group, and
the content and meaning of their ethnicity. The focus is the
negotiations surrounding the construction of Luo
identity. Through
the use of ethnographic data collected on every day activities and
relations of Luo youth, I show the intricacies of balancing and
prioritizing various aspects of their lives to reflect a particular
image. The narratives presented here reflect this struggle, but
also show the interrelation of the seemingly incompatible notions
and expectations. Male circumcision, an increasingly common
phenomenon in a community that does not traditionally practice it,
is now a social reality for youth in Kisumu. I examine ways in
which circumcision impacts Luo youths'
identity, through exploring
the perceptions and behaviors associated with circumcision, and how
they are impacted by other social realities, including
urbanization, modernity, poverty and disease, particularly,
HIV/AIDS. I also examine the negotiations involved in matters of
sexuality. Here, circumcision is both a preventive measure and an
enabler for risky sexual activity. It allows for a level of
acceptability of Luo youth by their non-Luo peers and sexual
partners also allows them to expand their social and sexual
networks, thus exposing themselves to HIV/AIDS risk. I highlight
the bargaining involved in employing circumcision to achieve social
acceptability, and still reduce risk for HIV/AIDS. Also, I discuss
changes in perception and activities, and how they impact gender
relations. Particularly, I discuss the role of women in the daily
negotiations regarding sexuality, and the ways in which
circumcision allows them to determine its uptake, and in effect,
the direction of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This dissertation views the
drive to provide circumcision as a social force that impacts the
lives of the youth involved. Particularly, I examine the processes
involved in the UNIM Project in Kisumu, which was set up to
determine if circumcision reduces risk for HIV/AIDS, and highlight
ways in which ethnographic methods can be used in gathering
information vital for translating scientific results to larger
populations.

▼ Around two million people of Polish descent live in Brazil today, comprising approximately one percent of the national population. Their residence is concentrated mainly in the southern Brazil region, the former provinces (and today states) of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul regions. These areas were to large extent a demographic vacuum when Brazil began its history as a nation in 1822, but now include the foci of some of this huge country's most dynamic economies.Polish immigration played a major role in adding new elements to Brazilian culture in many different ways. The geography of some of these elements forms the core of the thesis. At the heart of this work lies an examination of cultural identity shifts from past to present. This is demonstrated through a rural-urban case study that analyzes the impacts of geography, cultural identity, and the environment. The case study is a rural-urban analysis of two particular examples in Paraná, which will discuss these patterns and examine migration tendencies throughout southern Brazil. As a whole, this thesis aims to explain how both rural and urban Polish-Brazilian cultural identities changed through time, linking these with both economic and demographic shifts.

▼ This study is rooted in several interests of the researcher: 1) Literature focusing on the importance of teacher identity development for pre-service and in-service teachers; 2) Several crises in the Jewish community including the high rates of assimilation and the shortage of teachers for Jewish day schools; and 3) The belief of Jewish communal leaders that Jewish education and Jewish educators hold one of the keys to addressing these issues. The purpose of this case study is to examine the extent to which teachers in Jewish day schools self-identify as teachers, as Jews, and as Jewish teachers/educators; to what they attribute the development of their various identities; how the identities interact; and how such identifications shape their beliefs about teaching and learning. The "case" that was studied was graduates of the DeLeT (Day School Leadership through Teaching) Program at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (Los Angeles) and Brandeis University (Waltham, MA), a teacher preparation program specifically for teachers in Jewish day schools. Through studying this case, the researcher believes that the prior findings of others on teacher identity was expanded and extended. Furthermore, he holds that an understanding of several additional identities – Jewish identity, Jewish teacher identity, and Jewish educator identity – relevant to Jewish education and Jewish educators is helpful to Jewish community professional and lay leadership as they struggle with the crises alluded to previously. Many findings emerged from this research. Aside from the interview data providing an in-depth understanding of teacher identity, Jewish identity, and Jewish teacher/educator identity, issues such as the impact on identity of Israel experiences and the influence of the teacher's role in her or his school surfaced. Additionally, the data led to the learning that various forms of identity development can be affected in a teacher preparation program. One of the significant overall "learnings," however, was that, in thinking about the identity of teachers, it is not sufficient to look only at "teacher identity." Teacher educators and those responsible for in-service teacher development must also take into account, for example, the teacher's religious, national, and cultural identities. It is clear from this study that these parts of a person's identity impact her or his teacher identity and vice-versa and the boundaries between these "identities" are porous, ambiguous, and mutable. Teacher identity simply does not exist in a vacuum. This reality becomes even more vital when the teacher is working in a religious context or in a school with a particular mission (e.g. social action). These mission-driven schools are highly invested in values as well as content and the "person" of the teacher as an authentic role model becomes critically important. In addition to exploring the many layers of identity that affect teachers in general, and Jewish educators in particular, the researcher also proposes a formal definition of the…

▼ This dissertation seeks to determine how learning in situ in
Poland during the March of the Living (a trip which takes young Jews to
Poland and Israel) shapes the curricular experience of Holocaust education. It examines the trip’s purpose of constructing
Jewish self and communal identities through the history, and what impact that may have on the participants’ understanding of history, their
Jewish identity and the Polish-
Jewish relationship. This qualitative research study revolves around three questions: What pre-existing beliefs and attitudes regarding
Poland do students bring into the trip? How do pedagogical choices employed in
Poland change the narrative of the Holocaust from static to active? And, how does this act of experiential Holocaust education shape the participants’ beliefs, actions, and relationships with the
Jewish community over time? It determines that many participants have a tendency to ‘inherit’ negative memory and myth about
Poland from previous participants and family members, and the March’s creation of a ‘Poland’ that exists entirely as a
Jewish construct certainly reinforces those pre-trip attitudes. Once there, the conflict between experiential and formal education that the program tries to negotiate results in the prioritization of emotional understandings of history over intellectual ones. The common use of ‘embodiment’ within the trip encourages students to “enter history” on the side of Nazi victims, and in the absence of Nazis, local Poles surrounding the students become placeholders for the perpetrators and bystanders as a counterpoint to the students’ embodied ‘victim.’ The highly emotional,
identity-building pedagogy on the trip feeds into various types of ‘modeled’ types of Jewishness presented to students throughout the trip, and the most pervasive form students exit with is one that is both under threat and empowered (represented by Holocaust and Israel respectively). This research indicates that the March attempts to bridge both educational and
identity-building agendas, but is at present unable to successfully negotiate that tension, resulting in students lacking considerable knowledge about the Holocaust. Their
Jewish identity building measures also seem to work to change attitudes, but not behaviours. This would indicate mixed levels of success for the March of the Living’s key goals.

▼ Celem rozprawy jest znalezienie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy współczesna Polska jest miejscem, gdzie rozmowa między Żydami a Polakami może przerodzić się w głęboki dialog, i czy, w kontekście najnowszej historii, Polacy są postrzegani przez Żydów spoza Polski jako partnerzy godni rozmowy. Wykorzystano zdjęcia wykonane przez czterech cieszących się poważaniem współczesnych, profesjonalnych żydowskich dokumentalistów z USA, Francji i Izraela. Z odczytania fotografii wynika, że przeważa wizerunek Polski jako krainy opustoszałej po katastrofie Zagłady, zachodzi mitologizacja obrazu Polaka oraz auto-portretu fotografa/komentatora, i działają konstrukcje generujące wizerunek Polaków jako architektów zapomnienia kultury Polskich Żydów oraz jako współwinnych Zagłady Żydów. Polska bywa traktowana jako przedmiot nostalgii. Dominujący obraz jest „rozszczelniany” przez wizerunki ukazujące urealniony obraz Polski i Polaków oraz nacechowane pozytywnie teksty spoza sfery wizualnej. Większość obrazów konstruuje obraz Polski poprzez odniesienia do materialnego i historycznego dziedzictwa nazistowskich Niemiec na polskiej ziemi, i buduje portrety Polaków jako wspólników nazistowskich Niemców. Fotograficzne interpretacje pokazują, że Polska jest pozbawiona pozytywnego znaczenia w dialogu między Żydami a nie-Żydami, oraz, że dla dokonania pozytywnych przemian konieczne jest przeprowadzenie przez Polaków krytycznego rozrachunku z rolą Polaków w Shoah.

▼ The construction of American Jewish identity has historically balanced efforts to reconcile acceptance into majority culture with maintaining traditional Jewish heritage. Expression of Jewish identity in a "diasporic community" has often been anchored in communal rituals and sociopolitical events, especially the Holocaust, uniting an increasingly diverse community. Beginning in the late twentieth century, the figure of the "post-Jew" and post-Jewish identity emerged alongside pluralist multiculturalism as an alternate identity framework recognizing the hybrid character of Jewish American identity as a combination of inherited and selected elements.
This thesis examines the manifestation of post-Jewish identity in artistic responses to the Holocaust as reflections of a distinctly American perspective and discusses the iconographic language of the Holocaust as a living identity constantly re-formed and informed by individual experience and cultural surroundings. Third and fourth-generation Jewish American artists engage the visual language of the Holocaust by applying emotionally charged imagery in new ways. In so doing, they contemplate their own connection to the images that ground their understanding of the Holocaust. Stylistic and thematic shifts in post-Jewish works thus constitute efforts to navigate inherent tension between historical and experiential identity as well as the broader cultural transference of collective memory within contemporary society.

▼ The focus of this thesis is the analysis of the concepts of memory and
identity within a religious minority group like the
Jewish one. The case-study is the
Jewish Community in Naples, one of the smallest communities in Italy (around 184 members). What this study aims at is to bridge the methodological gap between history and anthropology. As a matter of fact, on the one hand the scholars of Hebraism have frequently focused their attention to anthropological investigation methods for a better understanding of the dynamics existing between
Jewish and not
Jewish over the centuries; while, on the other hand, the anthropologists, non only Italian, have rarely dealt with these subjects. That is the reason why there is an urgent need to study the concepts of memory and
identity in this specific cultural situation, which might also help the
Jewish culture come out of its persistent isolation and become the object of anthropological investigation. Thus, a transdisciplinary method has been developed to integrate not only anthropologic, historical, psychological and sociological methodologies, but also literary ones. This is clear especially in the analysis of the narrative modes used by the several interviewees to explain their memories both in speaking and writing. Naturally, everything has been carried out constantly keeping in mind that numerous are the reasons underlying the social action. Starting from the local (Naples), considerations will also include more global aspects (the dispersion and Israel). What emerges is a Transnational Community, often inclined to migration, polyglot and, tough deeply Italian, still strictly linked to Israel.

▼ The novels discussed in this study present a male perception of the Holocaust. Sarah Horowitz identifies the Holocaust master narrative as a master narrative, for it represents male reception and perception of reality as leitmotif for the cultural representation of the consequences of the Nazi atrocity (159). She clearly indicates that genocide designates the destruction of the self, which is always a gendered self (167).
Jewish men denied the right to their own
identity, bereft of the rights of citizenship and ownership, were humiliated into the space of powerlessness, culturally occupied by women, thus “antisemitic ideology feminize[d] men, depicting them as both more and less than “real” men” (175-178). The
Jewish self is unmade and undone in the process. The female body is perceived as a space of denigration and oppression, and behavior that goes beyond the boundaries of fixed gender
identity brings chaos into the established scheme of things, whereas the suffering of the male body has a heroic association. As a result, women are used as a tool denoting the humiliation of the male Jew and the trauma of this historical event (167). To Horowitz, Holocaust fiction represents male Jews as unmanned by their experience of the Holocaust. And that is how Wallant, Singer, and Bellow paint their male protagonists. They are all haunted by the trauma of their past, which contains images of their powerlessness.

▼ This thesis examines the history of four Zionist youth movements in Australia: Bnei Akiva, Betar, Habonim and Hashomer Hatzair. All four movements were established in Australia in the 1940s and 1950s by European Jews who wanted to re-create the organisations they had grown up with in Europe. The movements were, originally, activist political organisations dedicated to educating
Jewish youth towards immigrating to Palestine/Eretz Israel (making aliyah) in order to help build the
Jewish state. While all four movements shared the same basic aim of aliyah they also possessed distinct political ideologies. The movements were inspired by a kaleidoscope of European intellectual thought, but in particular they were influenced by the German youth movement and the British scouts as well as nationalism, socialism, romanticism and fascism. Historians of Zionism and European
Jewish history have written a great deal about the origins of the movements and their important role in the history of
Jewish nationalism. While scholars have examined the importance of the movements in Europe, Palestine and elsewhere, current academic research is largely silent on the history of the movements since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The historiography on the youth movements in Australia is even sparser. In this thesis I examine what the success of the movements in Australia may tell us about
Jewish identity. I explore the ideological developments within the movements in Australia, their successes in convincing members to make aliyah, as well as their attempts to adapt their ideologies to suit a rapidly changing world. Originally the movements were dedicated to aliyah, but it is clear that an ideological shift has begun to take place with their embrace of a Diaspora-Zionism. This ideological development represents the most dramatic change in the ideology of the movements since their original establishment. The idea of an ideologically based Diaspora-Zionist
identity raises important questions about the nature of
Jewish identity in the Diaspora and the connection between Diaspora Jewry and the State of Israel. By charting the history of the movements in Australia I suggest how this complex and fascinating story highlights the uncertainty of
Jewish identity in the modern world.

▼ This dissertation illustrates how a moral burden of history manifests itself in social relationships, cultural processes, and material products. Specifically, it argues that what appears to many as a superficial, commercially motivated revival of Jewishness in
Poland is also a significant joint venture between non-
Jewish Poles and
Jewish visitors to
Poland in exploring inter-
ethnic memory-building and reconciliation. The findings are based on 18 months of ethnographic research in the historical
Jewish quarter (Kazimierz) in Krakow,
Poland, with further research in Israel and the United States among diaspora Jews. My research reveals that the notion of uniform Holocaust tourism disguises a movement to contest lachrymose conceptions of Jewishness as victimhood. I document a sense of
Jewish connection to Poland – overlooked in mainstream discourses – that animates new generations of Jews and Poles to seek each other out. Similarly, much of the
Jewish revival in Kazimierz is orchestrated by non-
Jewish Poles. I show how they use identification with Jewishness to reconfigure their own Polishness and their visions for a pluralistic Polish nation state. I conclude that (1) popular cultural products, practices, and spaces can be important manifestations of – and tools for – moral reckoning; (2) identification with someone else's ethnicity/religion (often called appropriation) can be understood as an enlargement of, rather than an escape from, the self, and (3) Kazimierz in Krakow represents the cutting edge of Polish-
Jewish relations via local grassroots culture brokers who use Jewishness to expand the Polish universe of obligation.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate how parental beliefs, practices, and values of Korean immigrant parents regarding mathematics education in the United States are adjusted from the perspective of ecology of human development. This research further explored how participants’ cultural identities are affected by acculturation process. In addition, the researcher examined the transformations of parents’ perspectives on mathematics learning and achievement as they integrate into the dominant culture. The study used mixed methods to obtain information about the research participants’ experience as immigrant parents and interrelationships with their second-generation children regarding mathematics learning and achievement. A sample of Korean American parents (n = 44), whose children were currently enrolled in a mathematics course at the time or had taken at least one mathematics course within the past 3 to 5 years in middle or high school, participated in a quantitative survey; a subsample of immigrant parents (n = 10) participated in semi-structured interviews. The study utilized the Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA) and the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI). The results of the study indicated that even though Korean American parents shared the same nonnormative transition, they developed diverse intrinsic values and acculturation styles. Further, the parents’ perspectives on their children’s mathematical learning and achievement were influenced by traditional culture, dominant culture, and the interaction of both. The study also revealed that Korean immigrant parents used other Asian American students’ mathematical performance and learning as a frame of reference for their own children’s mathematical performance and learning; in addition, parents’ participation in children’s mathematics at home differed by acculturation levels. The main reason for the parents’ active support of and engagement in mathematics was that mathematics was the only subject which these immigrant parents adequately understood, and their aspiration for higher mathematics education was due to both immigrant optimism and pessimism. After moving to a different country, Korean parents’ abilities to perceive, conceptualize, and interact develop at different levels in new complex environments, where values, customs, and socioeconomic status contrast with those they had developed previously. These changes in intrafamilial processes and extrafamilial situations affected the development of the Korean immigrant parents’ cultural identity and reciprocal interactions with their second-generation children.
