https://doi.org/10.4467/20843925SJ.11.004.0162Über Bertha Pappenheim (1859–1936) wird auf zweierlei Art und Weise berichtet, und selten gelingt es, ihre zwei Geschichten in ein Personenleben zusammenfließen zu lassen. Zunächst wird über ihre Jugend in Wien geschrieben, als sie eine hysterische, „indirekte“ Patientin von Sigmund Freud war. Freud sollte anhand der Berichte über ihren Fall und der von ihr selber entwickelten Heilmethode, die Psychoanalyse als Therapie entdeckt haben.

https://doi.org/10.4467/20843925SJ.18.003.10817The article discusses the process of the introduction in Galicia of a new law regulating the relations between Jewish communities and the authorities of the territorial administration. Unlike in the Galician provinces, where the Josephine patent of 1789 continued to be applied, certain Jewish communities in the cities here had developed new statutes previously, leading to partial changes in the elections for community councils. The first was the Krakow community (1870), whose Orthodox rabbi Szymon Schreiber (Sofer) attempted to withdraw the implemented changes, designing his own version of the new statutes (1882). The struggle over the form of the new law ultimately culminated with the Viennese government’s issue of relevant regulations in 1890.

Article describes participation of Jewish councilors in Kraków city council and identifies political milieus where they came from. The interwar is divided in three sub-periods that were characterized by different conditions for municipal political participation. These changes influenced the composition of Jewish councilors: their political belonging and even their cooperative strategies.

In diesem Artikel fasse ich Befunde zusammen, die ich in einem Projekt erarbeitete, das die Teilnahme der Juden an den Stadtparlamenten der oben genannten Städte analysierte. Diese Zusammenfassung erfolgt in vier Schritten.
Erstens: möchte ich erklären, warum das Thema so und nicht anders formuliert wurde. Zweitens: stelle ich die Voraussetzungen der jüdischen Aktivitäten in den kommunalen Stadtparlamenten vor. Drittens: gehe ich auf die Wahl von Krakau als eines der Untersuchungsobjekte näher ein, viertens: stelle ich Befunde bezüglich des Krakauer Stadtparlaments vor.
Da die Untersuchungsergebnisse in einer Monographie publiziert werden sollen, schränke ich mich an dieser Stelle bei den Literaturangaben auf ein Minimum ein. Dafür zitiere ich alle Beiträge, die im Umfeld der Projektarbeit entstanden sind.

https://doi.org/10.4467/24500100STJ.20.003.12917Moses and Gitla Ritter were accused of murdering the charwoman Franciszka Mnichówna. The accusation and trials which followed revoked the blood libel. In three circumstantial trials (1882–1886), despite the lack of evidence, the Ritters were found guilty and sentenced to death. Owing to the “ritual” nature attributed to the presumed murder, the trials became media events, followed by an international audience. The author discusses the course of the trials, considering whether and how the municipalities in which they took place exploited their unexpected popularity for promotional purposes. What importance did the urban elites attach to the trials? How can we interpret the three guilty verdicts, and what symbolic significance can be assigned to them?
