Die Bukowiner Dimension als Erfahrung der „Andersartigkeit“ am Beispiel Alexander Spiegelblatts Kurzerzählung "In fartogikn groy" [Im Morgengrauen]

  • The historical events during 1918, which marked the dissolution of the Habsburg Monarchy, along with the violent acts of World War II were for the majority of the “Austrian-Bukovina” Jews the catalyst leading to profound identity disruption and disorientation. The destruction of the old “foundation” and the loss of the existential centre of reference were perceived by a large number of Bukovina Jews as extremely painful. The most of them continued to cultivate the old “Austrian” values. The experience during the war and the Holocaust shattered the survivors in an irremediable way. In this paper, I rely deliberately on the short story „In fartogikn groy” written by the Yiddish writer Alexander Spiegelblatt in order to illustrate the traumatic transition from a multinational to a “national(-istic)” construction, marked by severe and irreconcilable conflict between “old” and “new” values.
