The book discusses the history of a previously invisible massacre in Budapest in 1944 committed by a paramilitary group lead by a women. Based on court trials, interviews with survivors, perpetrators ...and investigators the book illustrates the complexities of gender memory. It discusses the events: massacre, deportation, robbery, homecoming, and fight for memorization from the point of view of the perpetrators and the family.
Budapest at the fin de siècle was famed and emulated for its cosmopolitan urban culture and nightlife. It was also the second-largest Jewish city in Europe. Mary Gluck delves into the popular culture ...of Budapest’s coffee houses, music halls, and humor magazines to uncover the enormous influence of assimilated Jews in creating modernist Budapest between 1867 and 1914. She explores the paradox of Budapest in this era: because much of the Jewish population embraced and promoted a secular, metropolitan culture, their influence as Jews was both profound and invisible.
This volume retraces Carl Lutz's diplomatic wartime rescue efforts in Budapest, Hungary, through the lens of Jewish eyewitness testimonies. Together with his wife, Gertrud Lutz-Fankhauser, the ...director of the Palestine Office in Budapest, Moshe Krausz, fellow Swiss citizens Harald Feller, Ernst Vonrufs, Peter Zürcher, and the underground Zionist Youth Movement, Carl Lutz led an extensive rescue operation between March 1944 and February 1945. It is estimated that Lutz and his team of rescuers issued more than 50,000 lifesaving letters of protection ( Schutzbriefe ) and placed persecuted Jews in 76 safe houses—annexes of the Swiss Legation. Based on interviews with Holocaust survivors in Canada, Hungary, Israel, Switzerland, the UK, and the United States, this volume shines a light on the extraordinary scope and scale of Carl Lutz's humanitarian response.

Drawing from the ideas of critical geography and based on extensive archival research, Cole brilliantly reconstructs the formation of the Jewish ghetto during the Holocaust, focusing primarily on the ...ghetto in Budapest, Hungary--one of the largest created during the war, but rarely examined. Cole maps the city illustrating how spaces--cafes, theaters, bars, bathhouses--became divided in two. Throughout the book, Cole discusses how the creation of this Jewish ghetto, just like the others being built across occupied Europe, tells us a great deal about the nature of Nazism, what life was like under Nazi-occupation, and the role the ghetto actually played in the Final Solution.
This book examines Budapest's urban development, planning, and governance between 1990 and 2010. In the face of socialist urbanization's structural legacies, the recent radical decentralization of ...government and resources and the impacts of a post-socialist war of ideologies, a trend is analyzed which leads to an urbanization mostly characterized by business-dominated development projects not integrated into any grand urban design. The author claims this outcome to be typical of the development of post-socialist cities and presents it in an abstract model establishing links between particular historical background conditions and the phenomena of Budapest's recent urbanization. With a conversation between Kees Christiaanse, Akos Moravanszky, and the author.
Le syndrome douloureux régional complexe de type I, SDRC I du pied et de la cheville, anciennement appelé algodystrophie, est une affection douloureuse polymorphe articulaire et périarticulaire ...pouvant atteindre le pied et la cheville. Les symptômes cliniques se caractérisent par une douleur souvent mal systématisée, accompagnée de troubles de la sensibilité, vasomoteur, sudoromoteur, musculaire et trophique locaux, à extension possible régionale, survenant dans les suites d’un traumatisme, même mineur, ou spontanément. Malgré les avancées dans sa compréhension, la physiopathologie demeure partiellement élucidée, suggérant des altérations complexes au niveau du système nerveux sympathique, du système nerveux central ainsi que des phénomènes inflammatoires locaux. L’évolution est imprévisible dans le temps, et peut entraîner un handicap fonctionnel parfois sévère ainsi qu’une altération de la qualité de vie. Le diagnostic est avant tout clinique. Il existe un consensus pour utiliser les critères de Budapest pour le diagnostic de SDRC I permettant d’uniformiser la pratique clinique quotidienne. Le traitement repose avant tout sur la réadaptation fonctionnelle. D’autres options thérapeutiques, notamment l’administration de bisphosphonates par perfusion, sont envisageables selon les cas, en prenant en compte les différents symptômes, la sévérité du handicap fonctionnel et les contraintes spécifiques de prise en charge.
The complex regional pain syndrome type I, CRPS I in the foot and ankle, also known as algodystrophy, is a polymorphous pain articular and peri-articular condition. It is characterized by poorly systematized neuropathic regional pain, accompanied by sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor, muscular and trophic disorders. It is often triggered by a traumatic event (fracture, sprain, surgery). Despite advances in our understanding of its pathophysiology, it remains only partially elucidated, suggesting complex alterations in the sympathetic and central nervous systems, as well as local inflammatory phenomena. Its risk is prolonged evolution, leading to joint stiffening and functional disability. Diagnosis is primarily clinical, supported by Budapest criteria. Treatment is primarily based on rehabilitation. Analgesics are used to make rehabilitation tolerable and acceptable. Other treatment options, such as infusion of bisphosphonates, may be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the stage of the disease, the severity of functional impairment and specific management constraints.

This introduction gives an overview of Stern's career, summarizes his prolific and field-shaping work on Jewish and Islamic subjects, and looks ahead to the articles in this special issue. Surveying ...Stern's scholarly network, and noting his resemblance to his great compatriot and coreligionist Ignaz Goldziher, it also proposes that academic orientalism has been an important element of modern Jewish activity in Europe, the USA, and Israel.
Abstract This is the source publication of a yet undiscovered DEGOB protocol from 1945 taken by survivor and interviewer Erna Galosi, recording her husband Elemer Galosi’s testimony after returning ...from Bergen-Belsen to Budapest. The protocol was found in its original form by their great-granddaughter at home after decades of unvoicing the struggles and tragedy the family had survived. This testimony is first published here by Alexandra M. Szabo.
