The Tents of Jacob, the Tabernacles of Israel

The volume, published as a special issue of the journal Hurban, takes a social-historical approach to the reality of local/regional coexistence between Jewish and non-Jewish populations. Studies focusing on Jewish local history in different time periods, on theoretical approaches - identity, integration and antisemitism; Hungarian-Jewish relations in Transylvania; the lack of specialists caused by the deportations; the museumisation of the paths of tradition - in addition to the micro-histories of various localities (Kunszentmárton, Körmend, Győr, Vecsés, Kassa, Kiskunhalas, Gyoma, Pécs, Székelyföld, Komárom, Nagyvárad, Kunszentmárton), they draw attention to the importance of local history, the incorporation of which into macro-history could be one of the main lines of future historical research. The primary aim of the volume is to present the coexistence that was fractured during the Jewish Laws (1938-1942) and then destroyed in 1944, in the Holocaust, highlighting the social and economic consequences of this tragedy.
