1 COURSE SYLLABUS Modern East European Jewish History, Instructor: Dr. Katherine Lebow Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies Winter Term, 2014 Course level: MA 2 credits Course e-learning site: Office hours by appointment Course Description This course explores transformations in the political, social, and cultural life of East European Jewry in the modern era, starting with the breakup of the early modern Polish state and ending with the Holocaust. When the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was dismembered in the late 18 th century, East European Jews encountered a brave new world: new political arrangements and, increasingly, ideologies, demanded new modes of interaction with the state and surrounding society; global economic transformations wrought havoc with traditional livelihoods, provoking far-reaching changes in everyday life and mentalities; new intellectual vistas suggested alternative secular identities as well as innovative understandings of religiosity and tradition. By the early twentieth century, the communities spread throughout the lands of the former Commonwealth represented the largest and most vibrant concentration of Jewish cultural, political, and intellectual life in the world. Few could imagine or predict the catastrophe that lay ahead. In keeping with current historiographical trends, this course will look beyond the actions and writings of well-known individuals to the Jewish street, considering responses by ordinary men and women to the changes taking place around them. Readings will focus primarily on the geographic areas of Poland and Russia/the Soviet Union, but students are welcome to propose research papers dealing with Jews of other countries in the region. Learning Outcomes By the end of this course, students will be able to: Identify major themes, figures, and events in modern East European Jewish history. 1
2 Interpret primary source documents relating to modern East European Jewish history. Critically assess competing historiographical frameworks for interpreting the modern East European Jewish past. Make arguments about modern East European Jewish history using primary and secondary sources. Apply concepts and questions from the course to other historical periods and regions. Course Requirements Detailed instructions and grading criteria for assignments will be distributed separately. Late assignments will be penalized. (1) Attendance, preparation, and participation (30% of the final grade). Students are expected to attend every class having read, taken notes on, and most of all, actively thought about the issues and questions raised by the readings. There will be various ways for students to demonstrate this in class, including participation discussion, preclass or in-class hand-ins, small group work, and voluntary presentations. (2) Debate, with write-up (20% of the final grade). Once during the semester, each student will present (in a small group) an in-class debate of a given historical/historiographical controversy. A 4-5 pp. 12-point, double-spaced write-up of both sides, concluding with the student s own opinion, is due one week after the debate. (3) Research paper proposal (15% of the final grade). Proposal will briefly lay out the research question, explain how primary sources will be used, and present a preliminary bibliography of primary and secondary sources. (4) Research paper (35% of the final grade) pp., 12-point type, doubled-spaced primary-source-based paper on a topic chosen by the student in consultation with the instructor. COURSE SCHEDULE 13 January. Contexts. In this session, we discuss the spatial, temporal, and intellectual contexts of East European Jewish history from the 18 th through 20 th centuries. On the one hand, we explore the political spaces of East European Jewish life, from the early-modern Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to the Pale of Settlement in tsarist Russia. On the other hand, we consider some of the local contexts of East European Jewish history--village, shtetl, and city. Contexts here also refers to a variety 2

The Nation-State: Good for the Jews or Bad for the Jews? Between 1918 and 1939, the Second Polish Republic was home to the largest Jewish community in the world.
