Not only did John Paul II express his political and social ideas through Encyclicals and speeches, but also through diplomacy and various actions loaded with symbolism. These actions were aimed at showing as an example to the members of both religions, the underlying peace between their religious leaders. From the above, although many biographical data and achievements have been taken into account by Wojtyla's biographers, the rapprochement generated between Christians and Jews is perhaps one of the least deepened points in the historical reflections on Wojtyla's work.

Drawing on Althusser's concept of interpellation, various newspaper articles, and extensive memoir and autobiographical material, the author explores the "introjection" of Nazi anti-Semitic ideology among Carinthian Slovenes, focusing on the period between 1933 and 1941. The author pays particular attention to Carinthian Slovenes' reactions to the violence against and the persecution and removal of (not only) the Jewish population from public, social and economic life, whereby she notes that Nazi anti-Semitic ideology also aroused dissent and resistance. This is illustrated through several examples of solidarity and support, such as friendly transgenerational ties, the "first anti-Hitler action" of the local women against the "Aryanisation" of the Jewish store and the persecution of its owners -- the Scharfberg family -- from Eisenkappel/Železna kapla, hiding a Jewish child in the family environment, or offering assistance in escaping, which included "smuggling" the expropriated merchant couple -- the Dicksteins -- from Ferlach/Borovlje over the border to Yugoslavia, from where they managed to escape to Palestine. The testimonials by Carinthian Slovenes speak of the pogroms against Jews in November 1938, which they had personally witnessed, the extreme brutality of violence, and the mass murders of Jews on the battlefield, in prisons, and elsewhere. In Jožef Šorli's case, the crimes against the Jews in Poland triggered his decision to desert the Wehrmacht and join the Partisans. Carinthian Slovenes often linked the "fate" of Jews to their own fate -- be it expected or real. They spoke of the burning on 30 April 1938 of school textbooks said to be threatening the "purity of the Aryan spirit" and of the dehumanising associative link between the Jews and the Slavs/Slovenes, the retarded, the crippled. With her book of testimonies, Ana Jug-Olip, a survivor of the Ravensbrück women's concentration camp, builds up a literary monument to not only the Slovene women (and men) of Carinthia, but also to the Jewish women, the Romani women, and their children. The article demonstrates that autobiographical sources constitute an important corrective to the press of the time, especially to the weekly Koroški Slovenec, which up until its closedown in March 1941 advocated strongly anti-Semitic views, partly drawn from the Nazi ideological arsenal. The article thus disproves the belief that in the texts or statements of Carinthian Slovenes of the time, "one would search in vain for views expressing solidarity with the persecuted Jews".

After World War II, Jewish survivors emigrated throughout the world. Their children have been recognized as the Second Generation. Many of them stand out as preservers and disseminators of Holocaust history and awareness. This article is based on the testimonies of Aron Gilbert and Orly Beigel, children of concentration camp survivors who were born and raised in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We live increasingly, within political and social cultures whose language oppose racism and antisemitism and discrimination. At the same time racism continues to exist and its effects continue to reverberate in subtle or more obvious ways. This paper acknowledges the social, political, historical reality which are beyond the question of racism and anti-semitism. However, it acknowledges too that the question of racism goes far from just the external reality and cannot be approached as an area of applied psychoanalysis. Internal racism is an universal feature of the human mind, and from an external world perspective moves inward the inner realm of the psychic organization. The racist internal elements runs outside and parallel to ordinary conscious discourse. We are dealing at a preverbal level, that almost never succeed in becoming verbal. In the consciousness we are never dealing with what appear obvious, that is equality, but we rather switch to the acting out, subtlety discriminating the self and the other who is different from the self, the not-self. So, unconsciously, we reach, and we convey the inequality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this work is to offer a cross-sectional reading of a corpus of short stories by Emilia Pardo Bazán, datable between the end of the 19th century and 1920, which present fictional variants of the 'primary scene' of the deicide, from scenes of evangelical inspiration to modern tales of Jewish perfidy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When, on August 6, 1945, the scientists of the German atomic project led by physicist Werner Heisenberg heard the news from their confinement in Farm Hall, England, that the United States had dropped a nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, the construction of history began: Heisenberg's version in his intellectual autobiography was that he knew the project was unviable in the short and medium term and, therefore, there was no risk in advancing the research. Following Benjamin's theses on the philosophy of history, I will brush against this construction of the history of science to bring to light several reasons that dismantle this construction. To do this I will resort to the philosophy of science of Popper, Kuhn and Lakatos and Marcuse's criticism of technological rationality. The aim is threefold: to question the vision of science held by Heisenberg, to show the influence of the great scientific-technological projects on the way of thinking and acting of individuals and to bridge the two abysses denounced by the physicist and novelist C. P. Snow, one between sciences and humanities and the other between those who have specialized knowledge and those who do not. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dentro de la colección mariana Los Milagros de Nuestra Señora de Gonzalo de Berceo el Milagro de Teófilo es el más extenso y elaborado de su obra. El poema que gozaba de amplia difusión en otras lenguas vernáculas de Europa presenta una clara función moralizante dirigida al espectador, con el fin de evitar cualquier contacto con el Diablo y sus seguidores, en este caso, un judío que actúa de intermediario entre Teófilo y el Maligno. Sin embargo, mientras las versiones coetáneas europeas proyectan rasgos antisemitas sobre este personaje influidas por el folclore popular, a modo de criatura maléfica envuelta en prácticas diabólicas y fisonomía animal, estos atributos están ausentes en la versión berciana. La postura de Berceo hacia el judío sobresale al fundarse esencialmente en rasgos antijudíos heredados de la Patrística y el pensamiento tradicional clerical, exento de elementos de índole antropológica y racial propios del antisemitismo y ajenos al imaginario contextual ibérico del que no formaron parte hasta dos siglos más tarde.In the medieval Marian collection Los Milagros de Nuestra Señora (Miracles of Our Lady) by Gonzalo de Berceo, the Milagro de Teófilo (The Miracle of Teophilus) is the most extensive and elaborate. The poem, which enjoyed wide circulation in other European vernacular languages, contains a moralizing didactic message aimed at the readership in order to prevent any contact with the Devil and his followers. In this case, it is a Jew who acts as an intermediary between Teófilo and Satan. However, whereas the rest of the European versions portray anti-Semitic features on the Jewish character influenced by popular folklore, such as embodying an evil animal-like creature involved in diabolical practices, these references are absent in Berceo’s version. Berceo’s position with respect to the Jew stands out as one based essentially on anti-Jewish traits inherited from Patristic and other traditional clerical thought. Hence, it lacks anthropological and racial prejudices common to anti-Semitism in the rest of Europe and which were unknown in the Iberian Peninsula imaginary at least for the following two centuries.

Of all the actions of the Irish Censorship of Publications Board, one of the most often cited, but least critically examined, is the suppression of Samuel Beckett's More Pricks Than Kicks (1934). This article aims to recover a fuller picture of how censorship of More Pricks affected Beckett, particularly in his attitudes to the biopolitical policing of ethnonational identity. To do so, it examines Beckett's involvement in Harry Sinclair's 1937 libel action against Oliver St John Gogarty, and the crucial role that the suppression of More Pricks played in discrediting Beckett as a witness. In contrast to previous, "personal" readings of the trial, it explores how the libellous passages of Gogarty's As I Was Going Down Sackville Street (1937) offered an anti-Semitic portrait of Sinclair and his family in which ethnic alterity and sexual deviance are presented as synonymous, and how Gogarty's barrister appropriated this rhetorical strategy to target Beckett. In the process, it offers a deep contextualisation of Beckett's anti-natalism, anti-nationalism, and longstanding aversion to censorship, by emphasising their relationship to his experiences of the operation of biopolitics in the emergent Free State and a wider European context during the trial and its aftermath.

This article examines Italian-Americans' reaction to the Fascist embrace of anti- Semitism in 1938, primarily by means of a perusal of the Italian-language press in the U.S. It argues that the newcomers and their offspring usually failed to distance themselves from the regime's racial turn because of pre-existing rivalries and resentment towards U.S. Jews. It also holds that, although Italian- Americans hardly subscribed to the Fascist ideology, which cannot be con- fined to anti-Jewish theories only, the notion that the Italian people were a race of their own helped the immigrants and their descendants strengthen a sense of ethnic identity based on their common national extraction and, thus, further allowed for the penetration of anti-Semitic propaganda into the Little Italies.

This article examines the Catholic responses to the Fascist Racial Laws in a transatlantic and comparative perspective. It looks specifically at two foremost publications of the Jesuit press in Rome and New York: Civiltà Cattolica and America, respectively. The comparative approach helps to comprehend the variety of factors behind editorial choices: readership, political context, Vatican directions, censorship, and silence. Jesuits on both sides of the Atlantic interpreted the anti-Semitic turn of the Fascist regime as an imitation of Nazi Germany and with the persistent hope that Italian policies would be milder and more 'civilized'. The shaping of the myth of the 'good Italian' was an early process in which Church voices, including the Pope himself, took a significant part. This article argues that despite contextual differences, both Jesuit publications demonstrated a transnational pattern of Catholic relation to the Jews: endorsing Pius XI's statements, they spoke out against racism but did not extend their condemnations to a full rejection of anti-Semitism in its religious and secular components. The disapproval of Italy's Racial Laws was not a defense of the Jews of Italy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of Michele Sarfatti's greatest accomplishments has been to challenge the notion that there was a fundamental difference between the biological racism predominant in Nazi Germany and the 'cultural racism' of Fascist Italy. I examine how this dichotomy took shape and the meaning it acquired over time. My basic argument is that this division is the result of dialogue between Italian and German population experts during the interwar period, and that making a sharp distinction between a 'German' and an 'Italian' style of racism helped them to construct their own identities. In other words, the debate on racism was a vehicle for defining what it meant to be a 'true' Nazi or Fascist. In this way, differences in racist ideology can be understood as a product of struggles over meaning. Ultimately, my aim is to de-essentialize the meaning of race in research on both Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This special issue of the Journal of Modern Italian Studies, edited by Annalisa Capristo and Ernest Ialongo, marks the 80th anniversary of the implementation of the Racial Laws in Fascist Italy. It is an opportunity to assess the evolution of the historical literature on Fascist anti-Semitism and to mark future directions for research, but also to pay homage to Michele Sarfatti, who was critical in the development of the current state of the historiography on the subject. Where the earlier work, before the 1980s, was founded on the idea of 'Italiani brava gente', wherein Italy's role was downplayed in the persecution of the Jews and in the Holocaust, that Italians were simply too humane to have participated in such horrific events, Sarfatti's work launched a veritable revolution in the field, which dismantled all the tenets of the original consensus. This introduction surveys these developments, and summarizes the contributions of the varied authors published here who continue to challenge old truths and bring us closer to a more full and accurate understanding of Fascist anti-Semitism.

Since their publication in early 2014, Martin Heidegger's Black Notebooks have prompted a debate both in academia and in public intellectual circles. Allegedly these notebooks show how Heidegger sympathized with anti-Semitism and National Socialism. On the basis of David Nirenberg's analysis in his book Anti-Judaism: the Western Tradition, 1 discuss whether "anti-Judaism" has a real referent or if, rather, anti-Judaism is a worldview where the meaning of "the Jews" represents a function in the self-understanding of those who speak of "Jew" or "being Jewish," although this meaning lacks any real referent. What is here referred to as 'real or factual reference' represents a constant problem in philosophy. If philosophy always had to refer to something real, then it would be a particular science like biology. The "object" of philosophy, however, seems to be a philosophical problem. In this case, therefore, the question is whether or not Heidegger's philosophical discourse in the Black Notebooks corresponds to something in the world. In short, it all boils down to defining the type of anti-Semitism expressed in the Black Notebooks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Dreyfus affaire is emblematic of the double-edged dimension of law: first weapon to hit the common enemy Dreyfus, then defensive tool wielded by intellectuals engaged – with Zola in the front row – to seek justice and the triumph of truth. Raniero Paulucci di Calboli, working in Paris in that period, became well aware of the importance of this affaire. This study investigates the trials through his diary, written in 1898 and his personal papers conserved from 1897 (and now hold in the library “A. Saffi” in Forlì). It also shows the role played by lawyers, intellectuals and press, and the influence of public opinion, in this complex story which keeps causing controversy.
