Paper Abstract:
Discusses scope of Nazi genocide. Hitler's rise to power and his policies toward the Jews; Wannsee Conference. Medical experiments in the Camps. Nazi biomedical politics. Understanding genocide. Cites visit to Museum of Tolerance and two poems by Terezin ghetto children. Genocide of other societies. Argues that moral and historical education are the only ways to avoide genocide.
Paper Introduction:
The Holocaust was the persecution and systematic killing of 6,000,000 European Jews by Nazi Germany during World War II. The original plan to simply remove the Jews from Germany and the lands Germany conquered were changed to include the "Final Solution" in which the murder to the Jews was carried out. One of the most horrifying aspects of the living death of the concentration camps was the use of the victims in brutal medical experiments performed by German doctors who served in the army or were Nazi Party members. The study of the facts about the Holocaust, the visit to the Museum of Tolerance, and reading poems by children who were interned in the Terezín ghetto and who died there or in the death camps have expanded my understanding of the Holocaust itself and of genocide in general, which has happened so many times in history. These experiences and the infor

Paper Introduction:
HISTORY OF ZIONISM
DURING THE HOLOCAUST
The history and roots of the Holocaust go back a long way. While the industry of death and destruction did not operate before 1942, its roots were firmly established in the 19th century. Jewish aspirations for emancipation emerged out of the national struggles in Europe. When the hopes for liberation through democratic change were dashed, other alternatives for improving the lot of the Jews in Europe achieved prominence.
It is the purpose of this paper to examine the history of Zionism during the period of the Holocaust (1942-1945) and suggest that this

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of Elie Wiesel's 1958 autobiogkraphical account of his life during the Holocaust. Discusses the book as an exploration of personal identity. Centers on the ordeals Wiesel faced and how he lived through the horrors. His changed concept of God. Life in the concentration camp. Destruction of his family and his faith.
Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
Elie Wiesel's autobiographical account of his life through the period of the Holocaust, Night, is a terrifying account of the horrors of that period through the eyes of a child who sees his family killed and whose own spirit is sorely tested even these many years later as he looks back on these events. The book is powerful and affecting, and it also serves as a very strong portrayal of the entire era of which the Holocaust is a part. This book presents the real effects of history, not the changes in leadership and the movements of armies but the changes in the lives of real individuals who become the victims of other people's hatreds an ambitions. The book can also be seen as an exploration of personal identity and an attempt for one man to come to grips with the fact that he has survived

Paper Abstract:
Western culture and Eastern culture. Greek view of world through the mind; abstract thought. Hebrew view of world through the senses; concrete thought. Differences between the two cultures regarding role of the State, role of God, learning. Different aims of Greek and Hebrew cultures, and Hellenic and Hebraic ways of life.
Paper Introduction:
ANCIENT GREEK AND HEBREW THOUGHT
“In the world, past and present, there are two major types of culture, the Hebrew (or eastern) culture and the Greek (or western) culture. Both of these cultures view their surroundings, lives, and purpose in ways which seem foreign to the other” (no author 2002 1). While most of the Hebrew culture has disappeared, except for a few Bedouin tribes, the essence of Judaism -- the idea of a single God, rather than a series of gods based on nature, war, and fear -- makes the essence of this so-called “Eastern” culture far more important -- certainly from a theological viewpoint -- today.
Perhaps the diminution of this so-called Eastern culture came to an end with the emergence of the new Greek culture in approximately 800 BC. When the Greeks pushed southward into ancient Israel, a

Moses' leadership. Principle of monotheism and of moral leadership. The Diaspora and Jewish identity. Doctrinal divisions among Jews. Zionism. Ben-Gurion.
Paper Introduction:
This research examines the major beliefs of Judaism and provides a historical overview of the major leaders throughout its history, to the time of the founding of Israel as a secular nation-state. The research will set forth a foundation for positioning the Jews and Judaism in history and then discuss how, over the expanse of time in which the Judaic belief system has flourished as a major religion, its most significant religious and institutional leaders have shaped the content and perception of the faith by its adherents.
Whatever else is true about the history of Judaism is that it achieves resonance not only with individuals who identify with its religious content but also with those who recognize its importance as one of the principal strands of thought that run throughout the history of western civilization.

Paper Introduction:
THE QUESTION OF JEWISH COMPLICITY: THE JUDENRAT
INTRODUCTION
On October 23, 1941, S.S. head Heinrich Himmler issued an order down the Nazi chain of command which heralded a major change in Nazi policy with respect to the "Jewish problem." Until then, the Nazis worked vigorously to encourage Jews to emigrate. The Madagascar Plan was one example of strategies which were formulated to remove Jews from Germany and its occupied lands. As is described in more detail later, many countries refused to accept Jewish refugees (Landau, 145-47). This shift in policy resulted in the deportation of Jews to camps and ghettos in the East. The policy to "resettle" Jews to these ghettos and camps was a significant step in what was to become the decision which heralded a major change in Nazi policy

Paper Introduction:
American Jewish History in the 20th Century
The Immigrant Period
Between 1881 and 1914 approximately two and a half million Jews crossed national borders. Generally, Jews migrated in search of economic betterment and escape from political oppression and they immigrated primarily to liberal countries undergoing large-scale economic development. Once there, Jewish communities were able to use the lessons they had learned under the political and economic oppression of their native lands to employ basic entrepreneurial activities that would eventually bring many of them economic success. However, this period would also begin the process of Jewish assimilation and acculturation that would force the Jewish community to later take deliberate steps to ensure the continuity of its Jewish ethnicity.

Paper Introduction:
BABYLONIAN EXILE OF THE JEWS
According to the various accounts of the invasion of Judah and the exiling of Jews, especially their leaders, to Babylon was seen in the Bible as God’s punishment. Even those who wrote years after the actual event, still pass judgment on the reasons for the exile to Babylon. One “writer justified God’s judgment by pointing to what he understood as a history of sin. He measured Israel’s behavior- and in particular that of the kings of Israel and Judah- by the understanding of the law presented in the book of Deuteronomy, and found it wanting.” (Miller 15)
There are a number of books of the Old Testament, including Daniel and Jeremiah, which relate the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar or Nebuchadrezzar) in 597 BC. The Babylonian army, on its way to do battle with Egypt, captured a portion of Judah. On the army’s return from Egypt,

Paper Introduction:
The Child-Rearing Practices of Hasidic Jews
Introduction
The essence of Hasidism is both its orthodoxy and its passion. Although there are many sects of Hasidic Jews, they all share the fundamental idea that the soul must be on fire for the creator, not for anything else. It is the creator who is at the center of life and all of life is lived in accordance with principles, commandments, and guidelines that have been long-established as likely to lead the community closer to the time of the messiah and the beginning of heaven on earth. With this as its goal, the child-rearing practices of Hasidic families differ from the average American family in many ways. The goal is to mold an observant Hasidic Jew, with understanding of his

Paper Abstract:
Analysis of philosophy of author Chaim Potok depicted in 2 novels. Conflict between Lev's Jewish culture & his artistic identity.
Paper Introduction:
This research examines the philosophy of life held by the Chaim Potok character Asher Lev in the two novels that bear that character’s name, My Name is Asher Lev and The Gift of Asher Lev. The research will set forth the evocation of the character’s intellectual discipline, religious awareness and commitment, and the scope of his commitment to social justice, with a view toward identifying the nature of the tension between art and ethno-religious heritage that drives the action of the novels.
The Asher Lev novels form a portrait of the emergence and maturing oeuvre of an artist as a young and middle-aged man. Abramson notes the critical view that My Name Is Asher Lev owes a great deal indeed to Joyce’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The fact that the young man is also an Orthodox Jew is a built

JEWS IN 11TH CENTURY MUSLIM SPAIN
This research paper examines the status, accomplishments and influence of the Jewish communities in Muslim Spain during the 11th century. That century witnessed a remarkable intellectual and cultural renaissance as well as economic prosperity in the parts of Spain under Muslim rule in which Jewish elites and communities participated and toward which they made major contributions, a Golden Age of Jewish achievement and Muslim-Jewish collaboration. Paradoxically, some of the factors which enabled the Jews to expand their influence, particularly in practical affairs, such as the growing disunity of the Muslim empire in Spain, also made the 11th century a time of great trial and stress for many Jews, who increasingly found themselves caught in the middle of the great struggle between

Paper Abstract:
Comparison of novel & movie SHINDLER'S LIST, examining interpretive similarities & differences between Thomas Kenneally's & Steven Speilberg's versions.
Paper Introduction:
The Holocaust stands as the major historical horror of this century and as evidence of the degree to which human beings can torment other human beings. This event was largely unknown to the American public at the time, but after the war the immensity of the crimes committed by the Nazis was made apparent. Ever since, the Holocaust has been explored by writers, dramatists, and historians in an effort to learn more and to find how such a thing could happen, generally with the intent to see that it never happens again. Schindler's List is only the most recent film to address an aspect of this era, explored before that in the novel of the same name and by many historians.
In the novel Schindler's List by Thomas Kenneally, the story of the Holocaust is told from a dual point of view--that of the Jewish people who are downtrodden, rounded up and taken to camps, murde

Paper Abstract:
Assesses David Wyman's book THE ABANDONMENT OF THE JEWS, which looks at charge that U.S. officials had prior knowledge of the Holocaust, & willfully & wantonly ignored the situation.
Paper Introduction:
David Wyman in his book Abandonment of the Jews discusses one of the more shameful issues for Americans of World War II. This is the degree to which the American government knew about the Holocaust before and during the war and the way Americans failed to do the very least that could be expected and failed to make public the knowledge of what was taking place. The period covered is from 1941 to 1945, the years of the war. The government did not know about the Holocaust for certain until 1942, and it did little with that knowledge until much later.
At the outset, Wyman sets out the findings he considers most significant about the story he will tell, and these are indeed the conclusions that he reaches and shape the story as he tells it. He finds first that the U.S. State Department and the British Foreign Office had no intention of rescuing large numbers of Eu

Paper Abstract:
Summarizes the research in Melford Spiro's book KIBBUTZ: VENTURE IN UTOPIA, focusing in particular on Spiro's descriptions of family structure & family life within the Kibbutz system.
Paper Introduction:
Melford E. Spiro's book, Kibbutz: Venture in Utopia, is a "case study in the possibilities of social cooperation" (ix). Spiro spent eleven months in the early 1950's living among the residents of a place he refers to by the fictitious name Kiryat Yedidim, a kibbutz, or collective, in Israel, founded by a group of young Polish-Jewish immigrants in the early 20th century. The book examines the history of the kibbutz as well as presenting the current occupants' daily lives and philosophies in great detail. This research will summarize Spiro's book, focusing in particular on family structures and family life within the kibbutz system.
Kibbutzim (the plural of kibbutz) are cooperative agricultural villages. The word "cooperative" here is meant quite literally--in these communities, all property, with minor excep

Jewish Contributions in the America Civil War
This paper will examine the involvement of Jewish people during the American Civil War.

The second part of the paper will look at the experiences of Jewish soldiers in the Confederate Army. The last part of the paper will compare Jewish participation in the war to that of German and Irish Catholics, who comprised the bulk of recent immigrants to the United States.
The American Civil War occurred soon after the huge immigration waves of German and Irish during the middle of the Nineteenth Century, but before the large waves of Eastern and Southern Europeans during the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries.

Paper Abstract:
Examines the exile & dispersion of the Jews & the leadership of Shabbetai in 17th Cent. messianic movement.
Paper Introduction:
The story of the Diaspora is a key element in the history of the Jewish people and in the focus of their aspirations and purposes in the world. The word "Diaspora" is derived from the Greek for "a scattering" or "to scatter about." The word has come to signify the body of Jews today living not in Israel but scattered outside the boundaries of Israel. Diaspora is much more than this, however, being seen as both a way of life and an intellectual concept, as a state of being and a state of mind. An examination of the way the idea is treated in the Bible and in other writings of the time will help point out the variety of Jewish experience in the Diaspora.
Some historians date the Diaspora from the time of the destruction of the first kingdom of Judah and the captivity in Babylon, but this would make Diaspora synonymous with exile. It is mo

Paper Introduction:
The historical origins of Jews in Romania cannot be pinpointed with any degree of accuracy. At present, Jews make up only a small fraction of Romania's minority population. However, Jews reportedly existed in the Central European region known as Romania in larger numbers as early as the first and second centuries.
Romania is situated in the southeast of Europe, resting on the northern part of the Balkan Peninsula. Beyond the Carpathia mountain range, which covers about one-third of the country, are extensive plains sustained by the Danube river and its tributaries. It was not until the mid-nineteenth century, almost two thousand years after its history began, that Romania became an almost unified and independent country. The intervening period was characterized by long periods of rule by various

Paper Abstract:
Evolution of religion's teachings on life of soul, Garden of Eden, immortality.
Paper Introduction:
Religions have differing views of the meaning of life and of the idea of reward for good and moral living. Some form of afterlife is often described in religious belief, but what form that takes differs according to the theology involved. The degree of emphasis placed on the afterlife will also vary. The idea of the afterlife may change through the history of a given religions as well, and different theological interpretations will be offered through that history and shape how the afterlife is viewed by followers. Judaism is an ancient religion that has been shaped by numerous commentators and historical events, and the idea of the afterlife in Judaism has undergone a transformation as well.
In general, Judaism is differentiated from Christianity on this issue in terms of where the emphasis is placed, as Abba

Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION
Hasidism is a Jewish movement dating from the eighteenth century. It began as a strong movement and then lost much of its force as times changed and because of its own internal failures, but the underlying conception persisted and was revived during the period of Jewish existentialism. Hasidism is not a single sect but an idea and an attitude that has given birth to a number of different philosophical systems, though all are linked in terms of a sense of spiritual community.
ORIGINS
The gospel of Hasidism was born in eighteenth-century Europe through the offices of Bal Shem Tov, in Poland. The conditions in Europe at that time were similar to those in ancient Palestine in the first century A.D., and just as Christianity developed out

Paper Introduction:
The Nazi concentration camps of World War II were, intentionally or not, a social experiment in which human beings were subjected to extraordinary circumstances. The behavior of camp inmates may reveal something about human nature, or what happens when a conventional way of life, with its attendant social institutions and habits, is impossible. To determine whether the camps do in fact provide insight into human nature, three books will be discussed and compared: “Survival in Auschwitz” by Primo Levi, “This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen” by Tadeusz Borowski, and “Facing the Extreme” by Tzvetan Todorov.
Primo Levi lived in Auschwitz for ten months during his youth; he recounts his personal experiences in the book “Survival in Auschwitz.” Beyond the motivation of describing the atrocities he wi

Paper Abstract:
Life, career, theology, writings of 12th cent. Jewish philosopher.
Paper Introduction:
Moses ben Maimon, known as Maimonides, was a twelfth-century Jewish philosopher who was heavily influenced by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. In his most famous work, The Guide of the Perplexed, Maimonides attempted to explain various difficult aspects of the Jewish tradition of rabbinic and biblical literature by means of philosophic method derived from Aristotle. Maimonides was convinced that there was truth in both the Jewish tradition and the rationalism of Aristotle and his work was, in part, a reconciliation of these two kinds of truth. An examination of one of the main topics in the Guide, the nature of prophecy, demonstrates how Maimonides went about applying the rational Aristotelian approach to questions of Jewish theology.
Maimonides (1135-1204) was born in the Spanish city of Cordova but, in order to avoid the wars in the region, migrated

Paper Abstract:
Examines Jewish mythical creature, origins, secular & religious significance, various incarnations, Christian views, anti-Semitism.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the origins, evolving interpretation, and crystallization into the psyche of Jewish thought of the Golem, conceptualized as humanoid in physical feature and having functional mental capabilities, including, apparently, the capacity (though not necessarily and always the inclination) to follow the directions of its creator. The plan of the research will be to set forth a working definition of the Golem in the context of its late-medieval origins and more modern conceptions, and then to discuss the interpretive historiography of the Golem, as well as secularist, rabbinical, and mystical strands of thought that have developed around the concept.
In order to define Golem, which is identified specifically with Jewish mystical tradition, Goldsmith traces the term back to the H

Paper Abstract:
Life, career, philosophy, influences & works of 12th Cent. Spanish Jewish poet.
Paper Introduction:
The works of Judah Halevi (c. 1080-c. 1142) presented a powerful response to the tendency toward secularization in twelfth-century Jewish culture and to the philosophical trends that, to some degree, drove this movement. Halevi, who was first known as a brilliant poet, often expressed a profound longing for Israel in his poetry. This longing, and his dissatisfaction with the worsening position of Spanish Jews, led him to examine the essence of Judaism and the nature of the Jewish people's unique destiny. Unlike many other twelfth-century Spanish Jews, Halevi held that Greek rationalism placed no burden on traditional revelation and there was no need to reconcile what were essentially two very different types of knowledge. Ultimately, in his Sefer Ha-Kuzari (the Hebrew title), Halevi also called for the return to Israel. Halevi died in the course of his journey

Paper Abstract:
Examines possible passive & active role of U.S. leaders in Nazi campaign against Jews. Development of Final Solution, Amer. knowledge of Jewish persecution, effects on U.S. history.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the oppression of the Jews during the Holocaust and its effects on the U.S. The plan of the research will be to set forth the historical context in which issues surrounding the impact of the Holocaust on the U.S. emerged and then to discuss the extent of knowledge and belief of the events of the Holocaust in the U.S., reactions from and behavior of various sectors of society when they learned what was happening to Jews in Europe, and in what ways the American response to the Holocaust had an impact on American society during the years of the Third Reich and afterward.
Any judgment of the impact that oppression of the Jews had on the U.S. must begin with a look at the oppression in Europe. The evidence of Europe is that the apparatus of oppression was built systematically and the very "thinkability" of the methods Nazis

Paper Abstract:
Historical overview of anti-Semitism from Middle Ages to end of WWII, focusing on Germany & U.S. from 1900 to end of WWII. Assimilation, immigration, ghettoization, politics, religion, law.
Paper Introduction:
At the beginning of the twentieth century, antisemitism was openly espoused everywhere in the Western world, even in the most respectable circles, to a degree that cannot easily be appreciated today. In consequence, Jews throughout Europe and the United States lived in a state of uncertainty, usually "tolerated" but seldom fully accepted. In the course of the following forty years, European and American Jewry would experience radically different fates. Nazi Germany would attempt to exterminate the Jews of Europe, and would succeed in killing some six million of them. At the same time, American Jews would move more nearly into the mainstream of national life than perhaps any other Jewish community in the Western world. The following discussion will compare the dramatically divergent experiences and fates of the Jewish communities in Germany and

Paper Abstract:
Examines role of written & oral Torah in tradition's evolution, major tenets, messianic-priestly synthesis, destruction of Temple, Diaspora.
Paper Introduction:
The central conception that distinguishes Rabbinic Judaism from all other forms of Judaism is the belief that Moses received a dual revelation, a written Torah and an oral Torah. Those who first revived this ancient idea did so in opposition to the heirs of the Aaronic priestly tradition who were committed solely to the perpetuation of written law and the traditional cult. Yet by the end of its formative period (c. 600 CE) Rabbinic Judaism consisted of a synthesis of the messianic and priestly traditions. The development of the major strains that were later reconciled took place over the first two centuries of the common era. On the one hand, there was the small group who developed the Mishnah, "the systematic expression of the priestly viewpoint," (Neusner, Rabbinic 72). On the other, were the successors of the Pharisees who perpetuated the tradition of the

Paper Abstract:
Explores differing ethical, religious, historical & legal views.
Paper Introduction:
Jewish Perspectives on Abortion
Contemporary Judaism can be broken into three distinctive groups: Orthodox, Reformed, and Conservative. The formation of these three groups represent historical and social factions within the contemporary practice of the Jewish faith and its beliefs. In tandem, the variant positions adopted by these Orthodox, Reformed and Conservative branches reflect upon the status and treatment of women within Judaism. Further, scrutiny of these three groups's formal stands on abortion will reveal how Judaism theorizes about sexuality, procreation, family and marriage.
Sociological research indicates that "Jews support the availability of abortion in far greater numbers than members of any other religion." Simply stated, Orthodox Jews generally

Paper Introduction:
Understanding the Other: Lester's Lovesong
In Lovesong: Becoming a Jew Julius Lester begins by declaring this truth of his own self-identity first formally accepted while he was in retreat at a Trappist monastery in Spencer, Massachusetts: "I have become who I am. I am who I always was. I am no longer deceived by the black face which stares at me from the window. I am a Jew" (Lester 1). At Lovesong's end Lester concludes that "the essence of Chosenness" is a mixing of the "joyous and mournful", that is, a gladness for the gift which has been given and a bit of sorrow at how much responsibility such a gift entails (Lester 243). In discovering who he is Lester has moved along his chosen path which has intentionally mixed the traditions of two of America's most dominant minorities, the blacks and the Jews. Part of the

Paper Abstract:
Examines ideas of two 19th Cent. Jewish intellectuals & relates them to political & spiritual development of state of Israel.
Paper Introduction:
The purpose of this research is to examine the work of Samson Raphael Hirsch and Nachman Krochmal with reference to the political realities of the State of Israel. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the views of Hirsch and Krochmal emerged vis-a-vis the concept of a Jewish state, and then to discuss nationhood, culture, and human experience that mark that concept and provide relevance for their views in the modern period.
To discuss Hirsch and Krochmal with regard to a modern Israel is to note that their intellectual work must be regarded as foundational. Much that is now presumed to be philosophically sound and generally accepted by Jewish tradition regarding the rationale for a Jewish homeland was by and large unthinkable in the early 19th century, when they were elaborating their views of

Paper Introduction:
PASSOVER
This paper will discuss the meaning of Passover within the context of the old Testament. Today, Passover is a festival which commemorates the day which the Jewish people sometimes refer to as the "Season of Our Freedom" (Gaster 31). While, from a seasonal perspective, the holiday marks the release of the earth from the grip of winter, Passover is best known for its historic significance. From a historical perspective, Passover marks the exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt. This paper will examine Passover from a historical and Biblical perspective.
Passover now stands for the birth of the Jewish nation, dating back to the time that Israel first prepared to face the hazards of the elements as "God, in His providence, brought it to Sinai, gave it the Law, and
