Transitland Belgien - Jüdische Flüchtlinge in Westeuropa während der Zeit der Deportationen 1942

Author(s): Ahlrich Meyer,Insa Meinen / Language(s): German Issue: 14/2007

The refuge movements of Jews in the German-occupied Western Europe, in particular after the beginning of the deportations from France, the Netherlands and Belgium in the summer of 1942, are a lacuna of historical scholarship. This article focuses on Belgium as a transit country for Jewish refugees, examining the flights from the Netherlands and Belgium to the occupied part of France, further over the demarcation line to free France. While these flights cannot be compared with the organised forms of emigration, it is to be understood as a forced migration in the times of a genocide. We argue that these flights were a mass “individual survival strategy”, an expression of Jewish agency face a face to the annihilation.

Frauen im Nationalsozialismus - Ein diskursgeschichtlicher Überblick

Author(s): Christina Herkommer / Language(s): German Issue: 14/2007

Which part did women play in constructing and maintaining the criminal National Socialist system of government? Could they be seen as victims, as perpetrators, as neither or as both? From the early 1970s until today German feminist social scientists have tried to answer these questions and were faced with the challenge of tracing the contribution of women to the Na-tional Socialist system. A contentiously conducted exchange arose which centred on the issue of the role taken by women in National Socialism. This exchange will be outlined below and at the same time embedded in the adjacent discussion around feminist theorising.

エスノ・ボナパルティズムから集権的カシキスモへ－タタルスタン政治体制の特質とその形成過程1990-1998－

Author(s): Kimitaka Matsuzato / Language(s): Japanese Issue: 47/2000

This paper focuses on the characteristics and genesis of the Tatarstan political regime during the leadership of the republic’s President Mintimer Shaimiev and will question the popular view that his regime is a typical authoritarian dictatorship, although this conception appears to be justified by extraordinary electoral results in the republic. For example, Shaimiev was the only candidate for presidency in 1996 and gained 97.1% of the valid votes. An English version of this paper was distributed at a panel at the AAASS annual convention held in St.Louis on November 18-21, 1999.

アウスグライヒ体制下のハンガリー陪審法制

Author(s): Rieko Ueda / Language(s): Japanese Issue: 47/2000

The purpose of this paper is through analyzing the content of the Hungarian jury system under the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy using a comparative method to consider the significance of it among the jury systems of the Continental European countries, and to show the orientation of further studies. At the end of the nineteenth century, the jury system was introduced into Hungary. Around this time, the other European Continental countries gradually abandoned this system or changed it into the form called “Lay Assessor’s Court” in which lay jurors and professional judges discussed the cases together. The defects or shortcomings of the jury system had become apparent despite the passion for this system as a guardian of human liberty and rights around 1848. At this time, the question arose as to why Hungary introduced the jury system and how was it? Looking for clues to understand the Hungarian jury system of this time, the author pays attention to the fact that this system was often introduced in Austrian and German legal journals at that time.

利益代表と議会制民主主義－世界恐慌下のチェコスロヴァキア連合政治－

Author(s): Mizuho Nakada-Amiya / Language(s): Japanese Issue: 47/2000

This article examines the Czechoslovak way of parliamentary democracy as it confronts the World Depression, specifically during its first phase from the outbreak of economic crisis until 1932. Three features were characteristic of political structure in Czechoslovakia. First of all, there were more than 15 parties reflecting the ethnic and socio-economic diversity of the Republic. Political parties were widely spread on the two dimensional space. The first dimension was ethnical, setting the Czechs in the centre and the Slovaks, the Germans and other smaller ethnic groups on the sides. The second dimension was socio-economic, namely, labour, agricultural, catholic and industrial. From more than these 15 parties, at least five were necessary to form a majority coalition for government. The second feature was the predominance of the Agrarian Party, which became the mass political party of the Czech organized agricultural interest. Largely due to the support from the agricultural Slovakia, the Agrarian Party became the biggest party in Czechoslovakia and used its power to enforce policies for the benefit of agriculture. Its interest-oriented political style influenced the entire Czechoslovak political scene between the wars. The last feature was the multiplicity of parties representing the working class. In addition to the multiethnic Communists, there were socialist workers, who were first ethnically divided, and then further split along dogmatic lines, such that the Czechoslovaks and the Germans had two socialist parties each - the Social Democrats and the National Socialists.

Emlékművek, emlékhelyek Berlinben (fotók, leírások)

Author(s): György Fehéri / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2006

György Fehéri, guest-editor of this issue, is living in Berlin generations after the Holocaust. By returning to Berlin, an old tradition is reestablished: the culture of Hungarian Jews has long been influenced by Germany. This connection was shattered by the Holocaust, but now the possibility exists for Hungarian Jews to renew it. For many years György Fehéri paid attention to Berlin´s gestures toward Jews, and the memory of the Holocaust as represented on the pages of our journal. In his photo-essay he gives an overall summary of how the united Berlin, a metropolis bursting with life faces the memory of its Jewry.

A zsidó kultúra centrumában (riport, 1919)

Author(s): József Patai / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2006

The enthusiastic report by József Patai, "At the Center of Jewish Culture", written in 1919, provides a snapshot of Berlin at the rare moment when Germany, following the Bolshevik revolution, gave shelter to nearly half a million refugees, among them the leading representatives of modern Hebrew literature. As a result of this, for a couple of years, before these people settled in Palestine, Berlin was the center of Hebrew literature. Patai´s piece is all the more relevant today because the phenomenon has repeated itself.

Београдско писмо краља Жигмунда грађанима Шопрона (7. новембар 1427. године)

Author(s): Aleksandar Krstić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 33/2012

This paper presents a critical edition of the letter sent by the Hungarian King Sigismund from Belgrade to the municipality of Sopron in western Hungary on November 7, 1427. King Sigismund received the fortress and city of Belgrade from the new Serbian ruler Đurađ Branković at the end of September or beginning of October of the same year, according to the agreement previously made with Despot Stefan Lazarević in Tata (1426). The Hungarian king immediately took measures to consolidate his power in the former Serbian capital. This letter is a major source for Sigismund’s activity in the city and his plans for Belgrade. King Sigismund put Belgrade under the jurisdiction of the banate of Mačva and granted the town numerous privileges. King has liberated its inhabitants of the duties levied on the entire territory of the Kingdom and called traders and artisans from all over to settle in Belgrade, in order to increase the number of the Catholic population of the city. This invitation is also extended to the citizens and residents of Sopron. Moreover, the king ordered the city authorities to send two of Sopron’s artisans with their families to Belgrade.

Повеља господина Ђурђа Бранковића којом потврђује слободе грађанима Дебрецина. Биа, 1429, 5. мај

Author(s): Aleksandra Fostikov,Neven Isailović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 33/2012

This paper is a critical edition of the Charter of Gospodin (Lord) Đurađ Vuković Branković, by which he confirmed the privileges of the town of Debrecen, which had become his property after the death of his uncle, despote Stefan Lazarević, and formal confirmation of King Sigismund of Hungary. The document is significant because it is the first surviving Latin charter issued by the members of the Serbian ruling dynasty of Branković. Also, the intitulation of the issuer is relevant to the matter of the moment of Đurađ Branković’s acquisition of the title of despote. When it comes to its external features, the analyzed document is similar to the open letters. Yet again, its internal form contains all typical elements of a charter of privileges. It was probably written by a Hungarian scribe, or, at least, by a person who followed the pratice of the Hungarian chanceries. The representatives of the citizens of Debrecen, the mayor and a member of the town council, visited their lord and asked him to confirm their liberties. Their petition was granted in a place called Bia, near present-day Budapest, which was another possession of Serbian ruler in Hungary. As the issuer, Đurađ Branković calls himself Gospodin (Lord) and not the Despote, because it was not until the summer of the same year (1429) that he officialy gained that title from Byzantine emperor.

Белешка Стефана Радичевића о првој владавини кнеза Милоша

Author(s): Radomir J. Popović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 33/2012

Concept of the note of Stefan Radičević, that is, review on some text or document, is in the Archives of SASA, Belgrade, no. 7090. Originally, the document was in the collection of Dr. Djordje Mušicki who in 1881 gave the Serbian Royal Academy numerous writings of famous Serbs from the late 18th and the first half of the 19th century. In the inventory book of the Archives of SASA, the document is recorded as Note of Stefan Radičević. We have found by a comparative analysis of handwriting that the document was written by Stefan Radičević. Radičević was one of the most prominent officials of Prince Miloš and Prince Mihailo during the first government of which he was the Minister of Justice and Education (1840-1842). We learn from a document less known details about the political conflicts in Serbia at the end of the first government of Prince Miloš, which highlights, among other things, cause of the conflict between Toma Vučić and Radičević, as the appointment and even faster dismissal of Radičević of the position of representative of the prince and Minister of Foreign Affairs in February 1839.

Османски Алтин (Алтун-или) 1477. године

Author(s): Tatjana Katić,Gordana Garić Petrović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 33/2012

This article presents the oldest Ottoman inventory of the medieval district of Altin (tur. Altun-ili) which was compiled in 1477, at the latest. It contains demographic and fiscal data for 55 villages and two mezras. The name of Altin is derived from Latin word altus, high, and means “The Highlands” (alb. Malësi). Medieval Altin, as well as Ottoman Altun-ili, encompassed Northern Albania and southwest of Kosovo (Djakovacka Malesija, Malësi e Gjakovës). The area was populated by Slavs and Albanians. In the second half of XV century Altin was attached to the Pasha sancak. After the Ottoman Empire acquired Shkodra (Skadar) from Venice, after the siege of Shkodra in 1478-79, Altin was incorporated into the newly established Iskenderiye sancak.
