| Abstrakt: |
Yiddish scholar Zelig Kalmanovich was incarnated in the Vilna Ghetto following Nazi occupation and became a spiritual leader. He developed a philosophy of resistance based on learning from Jewish history and survival through keeping Jewish morals and humanity, engaging in cultural and educational endeavors and by doing so securing Jewish continuity. He rejected the military underground and supported the Judenrat's obedience to the Germans. This is the main reason for Kalmanovich's disregard from the collective history. Based on his diary, rare correspondence, and unique resources the article tells the story of an unusual man's philosophy of resisting in 'another way'. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
