On page one of each volume are sketches of camps and barbed wire, of palm trees from the Holy Land. The title page explains. At its head stands a tribute in the English language. The set is the Survivors' Talmud dedicated to the United States Army of Occupation in Germany. Gerd Korman http://works.bepress.com/gerd_korman/24 http://works.bepress.com/gerd_korman/24 Fri, 16 May 2008 07:10:43 PDT [Excerpt] During the years between World War I and World War II the conduct among well-known Jewish labor leaders seems to have foreshadowed events in the history of America's nationality following the tumult of the 1960's. In the 1920's and 1930's America's elected or appointed officials still used a pecking order based on assumed inequalities of race, ethnicity, and gender in making policy decisions. They presumed that their private interests, those of the "insiders," the "leading groups," or "controlling minorities," were the only appropriate ones for determining public policy. It was then, especially in the Depression years, when the New Deal Democrats competed successful with fascists, socialists and Communists, that "ethnic democracy" in the world of organized workers began to emerge as part of a complex process. In time it would alter meanings of "private" and "public" among group relations in the changing history of America's nationality.

They continue to write in the tradition that prepared no one for the catastrophe, a tradition that still prevents us from attempting to assess and understand what happened; for with precious few exceptions they write of the years before 1945 as if the 1930's and 1940's did not require a re-examination of European history during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
