[ha-Safran]: Holocaust Trivialization (free download)
Safranim shalom and Hag Sameach Holocaust Trivialization byManfred Gerstenfeld http://www.jcpa.org/JCPA/Templates/ShowPage.asp?DRIT=3&DBID=1&LNGID=1&TMID=111&FID=253&PID=0&IID=2101&TTL=Holocaust_Trivialization Holocaust trivialization is a tool for some ideologically or politically motivated activists to metaphorically compare phenomena they oppose to the industrial-scale destruction of the Jews in World War II by Germans, Austrians, and their allies. Examples include environmental problems, abortion, the slaughter of animals, the use of tobacco, and human rights abuses. None of these bear any fundamental resemblance to the manmade genocide of the 1940s.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Barnes & Noble at Convention
Good morning, Ms. Moss-- I am confused by your choice of wording in describing Barnes and Noble as "the Convention Bookseller in Cleveland". In the past I have been able to purchase from any dealer who set up a "stall" in the exhibition area. Will this not be the case also in Cleveland?

[ha-Safran]: Digitized version of the Second Nuremberg Haggada
The National Library of Israel (Jewish National and University Library) is pleased to announce that a digitized version of the manuscript "Second Nuremberg Haggada", from the collection of Mr. David Sofer, is now available for public access at the JNUL site. The "Second Nuremberg Haggada" is an illuminated manuscript Haggada, apparently from the mid-15th century. Its name derives from its being held by the German National Museum in Nuremberg from the mid-19th century until 1957. Its previous provenance is not known. In 1957 the Haggada was acquired by the Schocken Collection in Jerusalem and in 2003 was purchased by Mr. David Sofer of London who has generously allowed the Library to scan the Haggada and make it accessible to the public. It is known as the "Second Nuremberg Haggada" to distinguish it from another illuminated Haggada, the "First Nuremberg Haggada" currently found at the Israel Museum. The Haggada contains beautiful illustrations on Passover motifs as well as three cycles of Biblical illustrations related to the story of the Exodus, the lives of the patriarchs, and various later Biblical figures. Many of these illustrations are based on Midrashic stories. The illustrator of this Haggada is not known, but researchers identify him as identical with the illustrator of another anonymous Haggada known as the "Yahuda Haggada" which is found today in the Israel Museum. The digitized manuscript is presented in the DjVu format which provides high quality magnifiable images compressed into relatively small files for easy downloading. In order to view these images it is necessary to download and install (once) the free DjVu viewer program. This digitized manuscript is the second in the Library's digitization series "Treasures of the Jewish People" in which we present to the public important Judaica treasures which are found in private collections. The Second Nuremberg Haggada site can be accessed in both Hebrew and English versions at: http://jnul.huji.ac.il/dl/mss-pr/mss_d_0076/index.html or via the library site: http://jnul.huji.ac.il Elhanan Elhanan Adler Deputy Director for Information Technology Jewish National and University Library P.O.B. 39105, Jerusalem 91390, Israel Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel.: 972-2-6585005, FAX: 972-2-6511771, Home tel.: 972-2-6515977 Mobile tel.: 972-54-6829657 Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
[ha-Safran]: Roommate for Cleveland needed
I am seeking a non-smoking female roommate for the AJL convention. My first night at the hotel will be Saturday June 21. My last night will be Tuesday June 24.

[ha-Safran]: Non-Roman script cataloguing
Dear Safranim We are currently looking into the possibility of introducing non-Roman scripts (Hebrew, Cyrillic and Greek) to our catalogue. I would be very interested to hear from colleagues who have implemented this in their libraries, especially if you have done a retro-conversion of existing records. Please respond off list.
