9780253058126 £22.99/ $30.00 PB 9780253058119£64.00/ $80.00 HB

This second edi�on of the award-winning work offers even more entries for anyone working with Yiddish on a personal or professional level. Based on the work of the late Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter, Execu�ve Director of the League for Yiddish, the dic�onary emphasizes Yiddish as a living language that is spoken in many places around the world.

Against a backdrop of rising na�onalism and illiberalism on the right, new forms of intolerance and an�-liberal movements on the le�, and militant deeds and demands by Islamic extremists, the contributors seek to be�er understand and effec�vely contend with today’s an�semi�sm.

What happens when Jewish authors—whether by force or of their own free will, whether in reality or in the imagina�on—travel from one place to another? Jews and Journeys explores what it is about travel wri�ng that enables it to become a central mechanism for exploring the reali�es and fic�ons of individual and collec�ve iden�ty.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

This intellectual biography of Judah Magnes—the Reform rabbi, American Zionist leader, and inaugural Hebrew University chancellor—analyzes how theology and poli�cs intertwined to drive Magnes’s wri�ngs and ac�vism, especially his championing of a bina�onal state against all odds.

Rachel Zolf ac�vates the last three lines of a poem

by Jewish Nazi holocaust survivor Paul Celan—“No one / bears witness for the / witness”—to theorize the poe�cs and im/possibility of witnessing.

Drawing on black studies, con�nental philosophy, queer theory, and experimental poe�cs, Zolf asks what it means to witness from the excessive, incalculable posi�on of No One.

Soldiers, Motivation, and the Holocaust Grant T. Harward

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

Romania’s Holy War rights the widespread myth that Romania was a reluctant member of the Axis during World War II. In correc�ng this fallacy, Grant T. Harward shows that, of an es�mated 300,000 Jews who perished in Romania and Romanianoccupied Ukraine, more than 64,000 were, in fact, killed by Romanian soldiers.

Presen�ng a new and accessible history of the Jews of what is now the Czech Republic, Prague and Beyond revises conven�onal understandings of Central Europe’s Jewish past and present and fully captures the diversity and mul�valence of life in the Bohemian Lands.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS

The compelling true story of Nelly Benatar—a hero of the an�-Fascist North African resistance and humanitarian who changed the course of history for the “last million” escaping the Second World War.
