Pod koniec roku nakładem Żydowskiego Instytutu Historycznego ukaże się nowa książka dr Pawła Fijałkowskiego „Warszawska społeczność żydowska w okresie stanisławowskim 1764–1795. Rozwój w dobie wielkich zmian”.

„Publikacja ta jest opowieścią o najdawniejszych dziejach Żydów w Warszawie, przedstawionych na szerszym tle historii wyznawców judaizmu na Mazowszu. Postawiłem sobie za cel ukazanie ważnych problemów z dziejów warszawskiej społeczności żydowskiej w czasach króla Stanisława Augusta Poniatowskiego, takich jak napływ wyznawców judaizmu do Warszawy i otaczających ją przedmieść, rozwój liczbowy tworzonej przez nich społeczności, jej rolę w życiu gospodarczym stołecznego zespołu miejskiego i skomplikowane relacje z chrześcijańskim otoczeniem” – mówi dr Paweł Fijałkowski.

Ważnym aspektem pracy jest ukazanie przemian wewnętrznych zachodzących w społeczności żydowskiej, jej zróżnicowania ekonomicznego, społecznego, religijnego i obyczajowego, a także problemów bytowych doskwierających starozakonnym mieszkańcom stolicy. Książka ukazuje skomplikowany proces formowania się warszawskiego skupiska żydowskiego, rozrastającego się intensywnie w II połowie XVIII w. dzięki napływowi osadników z różnych rejonów Rzeczypospolitej oraz z zagranicy. Integrowali się oni w konfrontacji z ograniczeniami prawnymi obowiązującymi w Warszawie i ważnymi przemianami ustrojowymi zachodzącymi w Rzeczypospolitej szlacheckiej. Autor przedstawił warszawską społeczność żydowską jako jeden ze składników zróżnicowanego etnicznie i wyznaniowo stołecznego organizmu miejskiego, przede wszystkim w zestawieniu ze społecznościami chrześcijan-niekatolików. Mieszkający w Warszawie Żydzi byli bowiem zarówno u schyłku I Rzeczypospolitej jak i w późniejszym okresie ważnym składnikiem charakterystycznej dla tego miasta, pogłębiającej się z biegiem czasu etnicznej oraz konfesyjnej różnorodności. Swą intensywnością wyróżniała ona Warszawę spośród większości miast, a jednocześnie odgrywała niezwykle ważną rolę w jej życiu. Była naturalnym stanem europejskiej stolicy, sprzyjającym jej rozwojowi.

I would go 3 million miles to save one child from hate’ says Holocaust survivor

REBECCA PERRING


HOLOCAUST survivor Leslie Kleinman says he would travel a million miles to “save just one child from hate”, 70 years after a US soldier liberated him from Auschwitz in Poland.

Leslie Kleinman tells his remarkable story Leslie Kleinman tells his remarkable story

Leslie – now aged 85 – decided for the very first time to tell his remarkable story as a young Jewish boy in Nazi Germany after 60 years of silence, because he was keen to “educate the next generation.”

“I never spoke of the Holocaust in 60 years, I didn’t want to speak about it, didn’t want to know about it.

“But I had a vision come to me, telling me you should go and speak to the children because they are the new generation.

“Talk with love, like you were brought up – my father and parents brought me up with love.

“We were so poor but there was always love in our home and I want to pass the message on to the children of how it important it is to appreciate everybody with love and care.

“The only way we will have peace in the world is by doing that.

“As long as I shall live, I will tell my story to the children and educate them. If I can save one child, believe me I will go 3 million miles.”

And now 70 years away from the darkness and horrors of the Holocaust, Leslie, who now lives in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex has continued to try and do just that.

Script:

I was born to hate Jews. It was part of my life. I never questioned it. I was not born in Iran or Syria. I was born in England. My parents moved there from Pakistan. Theirs was the typical immigrant story: Move to the West in the hope of making a better life for themselves and their children.

We were a devout Muslim family, but not extremist or radical in any way. We only wished the best for everyone — everyone except the Jews. The Jews, we believed, were aliens living in stolen Muslim land, occupiers who were engaged in a genocide against the Palestinian people. Our hatred, therefore, was justified and righteous. And it made me and my friends vulnerable to the arguments of radical extremists. If the Jews were as evil as we had always believed, mustn’t those who support them – Christians, Americans, and others in the West – be just as evil?

Beginning in the 1990s, speakers and teachers at mosques and in schools began to endlessly repeat this theme: We were not Western. We were not British. We were Muslims, first and only. Our loyalty was to our religion and to our fellow Muslims. We owed nothing to the Western nations that welcomed us. As Westerners, they were our enemies.

All of this had its desired effect. At least, it did on me. It changed the way that I saw the world. I began to see the suffering of Muslims, including in Britain, as the fault of Western imperialism. The West was at war with us, and the Jews controlled the West. My experience at university in Britain only enhanced my increasingly radical beliefs. Hating Israel was a badge of honor. Stage an anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian rally and you were sure to draw a large, approving crowd.

While at university I decided the protests and propaganda against Israel were not enough. True jihad demanded violence. So I made plans to join the real fight. I would leave college and join a terrorist training camp in Pakistan. But, fortunately for me, fate intervened – in a bookstore.

I came across a book called The Case for Israel by Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz. The case for Israel? What case could there be? The title itself made me furious, and I began to read the pages almost as an act of defiance. How ill-informed, how stupid, could this guy be to defend the indefensible? Well, he was a Jew. That had to be the answer. Still, I read. And what I read challenged all of my dogmas about Israel and the Jews: I read that it wasn’t Israel that created the Palestinian refugee crisis; it was the Arab countries, the United Nations, and the corrupt Palestinian leadership. I read that Jews didn’t exploit the Holocaust to create the state of Israel; the movement to create a modern Jewish state dated back to the 19th century, and ultimately to the beginnings of the Jewish people almost 4,000 years ago. And I read that Israel is not engaged in genocide against the Palestinians. On the contrary, the Palestinian population has actually doubled in just twenty years
