• Resumen

  • Growing up as a Jewish man in Germany and Austria between the wars was coupled with contradictory affects and emotions.

    On the one hand, young men were to become strong German bodies able to defend themselves. This was a way to resist the old anti-Semitic stigma of the Jews‹ weakness and feminization. On the other hand, they were to adopt distinctive Jewish‹ ways of being a man. With the radicalization of anti-Semitism after 1933 in Germany (respectively 1938 in Austria), emigration to Mandate Palestine became a life-saving option. Hence conforming to Zionist ideals before and after the emigration became central. This article, based on oral history interviews and other life narratives produced by yekkes, i. e. German-speaking Jews in Palestine / Israel, aims at writing a history of masculinity from below.‹ How did the yekkes post-migration representations of masculinity evolve? How did they react to the masculinist and hegemonic values that emerged in the Israeli nation-building process?
