Yad Vashem Studies
Volume 35
This volume of Yad Vashem
22 Studies introduces two important
changes in format. We will now
be publishing twice annually,
in spring and fall. We hope that
this will make our contributors’
important research available to
our readers more quickly and
more readily. We are also adapting
the journal’s dimensions and
interior layout in order to make it
more user friendly to our readers.
Of course, our rigorous high
standards remain unchanged.
Yad Vashem Studies
Volume 35:1
April 2007
Much of this issue examines the Holocaust
in Poland, with research articles by Alina
Skibińska and Jakub Petelewicz, Jan
Grabowski, and Tomasz Kranz, and one
review article (by Klaus-Peter Friedrich).
Skibińska and Petelewicz examine Poles’
attitudes towards Jews during the Holocaust
in rural central Poland; Grabowski looks at
German and Polish courts’ treatment of
cases involving Jews during the Holocaust;
and Kranz analyzes the death records from
the Majdanek camp while reaching a new
estimate for the number of victims there.
Klaus-Michael Mallmann and Martin
Cüppers tell the fascinating story of the
Nazi plans to murder the Jews of Palestine
in 1941-42, and Kinga Frojimovics uses the
detailed records of the Jewish communities
of Hungary that were compiled in April
1944 to provide a rare, detailed profile
of a Jewish community on the very eve of
destruction. The issue also includes review
articles by Frank Bajohr on Götz Aly’s Hitlers
Volksstaat; Klaus-Peter Friedrich on Jochen
Böhler’s Auftakt zum Vernichtungskrieg;
and Michael Miller on Livia Rothkirchen’s
The Jews of Bohemia and Moravia: Facing
the Holocaust.

Yad Vashem Studies
Volume 35:2
October 2007
In this issue we anticipate carrying
research articles both on events during
the Holocaust in the USSR and Hungary,
and on post-war remembrance and other
treatments of the event. The Holocaust
period research includes Yehuda Bauer’s
article on Nowogródek, with a first attempt
at interim conclusions on the shtetl in the
Holocaust; Mordechai Altshuler on what
Soviet Jews knew about Nazi persecution
of Jews during the war, prior to the German
invasion of the USSR; and Judit Pihurik on
Jews in the Hungarian Labor Service, as
reflected in diaries of Hungarian soldiers
at the time. The post-war section includes:
Netanel Cantorovich on the Soviet press
and the Eichmann trial; Lilach Marom on
Aktion Sühnezeichen in Israel; Michal Shaul
on Israeli ultra-Orthodox remembrance of
the Holocaust; and Guri Schwarz on the
early development of Holocaust discourse
in Italy. Review articles on important new
books addressing a variety of aspects of
the Holocaust will complete this rich and
interesting issue.

Volume 31 (2003)

S t u d i e s
This volume includes the work of well-known researchers alongside that of up-and-coming
scholars. It blends in-depth focus with broad scope. The articles focus on Jewish life in Eastern
European ghettos; German anti-Jewish policies on a regional level in the 1930s; neutral powers;
and Israeli literature. Review articles and a response to Dov Levin’s article on the Jewish police
in the Kovno Ghetto, Vol. 28, round out this rich volume. Among the contributors are: Nathan

V a s h e m
Cohen, Yehuda Bauer, Havi Ben-Sasson, Armin Nolzen, and George Browder.

Yad Vashem Studies
Volume 32 (2004) 23
This volume contributes significantly to the study of important aspects of the Holocaust. The
volume is dedicated to the memory of Emil L. Fackenheim and opens with Michael Morgan’s
analysis of his seminal contribution to thought on the Holocaust. The research section centers
on two main foci – the Holocaust of Hungarian Jewry, on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary
of those events (Randolph L. Braham, Judit Molnár, Laszlo Karsai, Guy Miron, Anna Szalai, Rita
Horvath), and Poles and Jews before, during, and after the Holocaust (Dariusz Libionka, Felicja
Karay, Edward Kossoy, Natalia Aleksiun). Articles on British Military Intelligence and on Jewish
women in Poland under German occupation, along with review articles round out this rich
volume.

Yad Vashem Studies

Volume 33 (2005)

This volume features two special sections – on the Warsaw Ghetto and on postwar issues of
memory and attitudes to the subject – in addition to varied new research and review articles.
The Warsaw Ghetto section includes newly discovered parts of Avraham Lewin’s 1942 diary;
the written observations of the wife of a member of the first Judenrat; and new research on
the role of the ZZW in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The Postwar section includes new research
on the attitudes of the Polish Catholic Church to Jews in the immediate postwar years; a
qualitative study of the memories of hidden child survivors; and an analysis of the beginnings
of scholarly Holocaust research in Israel. In addition, this volume’s broad scope addresses the
Holocaust in two East European towns; the deportations from Italy; Jewish rescue activities in
Switzerland; and new approaches to reading diaries and memoirs.

Yad Vashem Studies

Volume 34 (2006)

Path-breaking new studies highlight this volume. The articles address various aspects of the
perpetrators, from Hitler to the bankers in occupied Poland; the impact of prewar perspectives
on Jews on local attitudes towards Jews during the Holocaust; postwar issues in Europe; and the
press and the Jews during the Holocaust. Among the major contributions: Ian Kershaw’s analysis
of Hitler’s role in the “Final Solution”; Klaus-Peter Friedrich’s study of the Polish underground
press’s reactions to the murder of the Jews, 1942-1947; Ingo Loose’s examination of the role of
German credit banks in the Generalgouvernement in Poland; Béla Bodo’s analysis of the role of
the prewar Hungarian press in setting the atmosphere that helped do away with Hungarian Jewry
during the Holocaust, and more.

Yad Vashem Studies
Volume 27 (1999)
This volume includes foci on German Jewry under Nazi rule and the reactions of neutral
countries to Nazi policies towards the Jews, as well as new research and thought on
a variety of topics. The volume is dedicated to the memory of Jacob Katz, one of the
most important Jewish historians of the twentieth century, and it opens with his paper
on European societies and the Jews during the interwar years. Two research and four
review articles shed light on the German-Jewish experience under the Nazis. This volume
also brings to light little known aspects regarding the neutral powers’ reactions to the
Holocaust.
Yad Vashem Studies
Volume 28 (2000)
This volume broadens our usual temporal and geographic scope and includes a focus on
the Death Marches, alongside a variety of new research articles.
The volume opens with Jacob Borut’s article on the widespread latent and active
antisemitism in tourist facilities in Weimar Germany. While Borut’s study takes us back to
the 1920s, Yehiam Weitz’s article on the Israeli government’s decision to negotiate with
West Germany on reparations carries us forward into the 1950s. Avraham Altman and
Irene Eber use new documentation from the municipality of Shanghai to study the factors
behind the receipt of German-Jewish refugees in Shanghai in the years 1938-1940. Two
articles propose new interpretations of events: Stefan Kley on the factors behind Hitler’s
decision to approve the Kristallnacht pogrom; and Bogdan Musial on the initiative for the
murder of the Jews of the Generalgouvernement.
Yad Vashem Studies
Volume 29 (2001)
This volume is dedicated to the memory of George L. Mosse, who had a seminal influence
on the study of racism, fascism, and modern antisemitism, as well as other subjects.
This volume opens with a review essay by Jeffrey Herf on Mosse’s work. Two foci – the
Holocaust in the Soviet Union and religious groups and the Holocaust – highlight this
volume, alongside a variety of research and review articles. Daniel Uziel’s examination of
written and visual documentation of the Wehrmacht’s Propaganda Department opens the
research section. Four articles look at the Holocaust in the Soviet Union. Three articles
discuss the reactions of religious groups to the Holocaust: Randolph Braham on the
churches in Hungary; Hava Eshkoli (Wagman) on the Mizrachi movement in Mandatory
Palestine; and Kimmy Caplan on ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel.
Yad Vashem Studies
Volume 30 (2002)
This volume features scholars from six countries on five subjects: the Jedwabne
controversy following the publication of Jan Tomasz Gross’s book, Neighbors; early
confrontations with commemoration and other postwar issues; aspects of the last year of
the Holocaust; elite groups’ attitudes towards Nazis and Jews in the 1930s; and review
articles on recent important books published in the US, the UK, Austria, Belgium, and
Poland. Among the contributors are: Anna Bikont, Dariusz Stola, Judit Molnár, Karl Liedke,
Mordechai Altshuler, and Peter Longerich.
