The life of Dr. Jacob Robinson (b. 1889, Lithuania d. 1977, New York) embodied the complexity of Jewish existence in the twentieth century. An attorney by training, Robinson emigrated with his family from Lithuania to the United States in 1940. After the State of Israel was established, his public and political efforts also focused on Israeli matters of interest. Thus, examining his life’s story is informative about Robinson’s involvement in the processes that shaped the Jewish people and Israel in the twentieth century.In this article the author presents Robinson’s papers, which contain valuable information about the Eichmann Trial, and widens understanding of the complex issue of Holocaust research and shaping Holocaust remembrance in Israel and the United States. The purpose of Robinson’s efforts to disseminate information about the Holocaust transcended the bounds of the Holocaust question itself. He wished to use the memory of the Holocaust so as to shape the Jewish people and the world at large after the war. Robinson’s public activity reflects a fascinating and singular model of Jewish nationhood. Robinson opposed “the negation of the exile,” viewing the Diaspora as an important and evolving part of Jewish existence, particularly after World War II. In English and Hebrew. |
