Abstract: In the early 1990s, Germany officially opened its gates to the immigration of Russian Jews as part of the policies of repentance and restitution for the Holocaust. The immigration of Russian Jews seemed to offer opportunity to strengthen and revitalize Jewish life in the country, even restore it to its pre-war scale and condition. For the Russian-Jewish immigrants, that task has proven a difficult challenge. Tracking the stumbling blocks and difficulties of the project of revitalization and recreation of Jewish life, this article moves through different areas of the immigrants; performance of Jewishness-artistic, ritual, and mundane, individual as well as communal. It examines the situation in which role-playing or ‘passing’ as Jews fails to be perceived as credible and is interpreted as ‘imposture’.
内容摘要:在1990年代早期,作为对犹太人大屠杀的忏悔和赔偿政策的一部分,德国正式开启了对俄罗斯裔犹太人的移民之门。俄罗斯裔犹太人可以移民德国,这件事似乎提供了在德国强化和复兴犹太生活的机会,甚至恢复到战前的规模和条件。对于俄罗斯裔犹太移民来说,这个任务实际上是一个艰巨的挑战。通过跟踪复兴和重建犹太生活的项目遭遇的困难和阻碍,本文接触了犹太移民的不同领域来研究犹太化的表现,包括艺术、仪式、世俗、个人以及公共的领域。本文研究了犹太人的角色扮演或“传递”往往被认为不可信赖,被解释为“欺骗”。
