Perhaps the reasons were of state secrecy, perhaps the archives were later destroyed - by those who didn't want people to be reminded of their role in those events. Whatever the reasons, only fragments survive, although one unique Radio Prague recording from the mid-1950s is the prologue to Dvorak's opera Rusalka in Esperanto. Esperanto, in fact, was introduced as far back as 1946 and seems to have survived in our broadcasts for many years." http://www.radio.cz/en/article/82700 Je 8 minutoj en la auda registraj^o: oni audas kelkajn vortojn en Esperanto enkonduke al muziko de Dvorak.

Information about where to meet is below, and you can call Rodrigo the organizer or me at 203-668-2187. Basically we will be manning an information table and telling people about Esperanto. These are mostly UMD people who are interested in international affairs and languages, hence their attending this event. I made some stupid "What is E-o" flyers. Please whoever can make it to this, come and help put in the good word for E-o. And please bring anything you might have that makes Esperanto look cool - books, magazines, trinkets, photos, etc. We'll meet at 3:40pm to get set up. Please do try to come at 3:40 - I need volunteers to help fold flyers! -Jed ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rodrigo Trevino Date: Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 9:57 AM Subject: Re: Esperanto DC To: Jed Meltzer Hi Jed, The event will take at the Language House (official university name: St Mary's Hall) at the multipurpose room, which is a fancy name for the basement. There as campus map for the University, but it's not that great. Here it is anyway: http://www.parking.umd.edu/themap/ (PDF version: http://www.transportation.umd.edu/pdf/2006pdfmap.pdf ) You can search for St Mary's Hall there to know where it is on campus. It is almost in front of the Student Union. If you're driving here: There is a visitors parking garage right next to the union. It is also very close to the Language House. If you're coming by metro: Get off at the College Park metro station on the green line. There is a free shuttle (the only red bus you'll see) which goes from the metro station to campus. The last stop of the shuttle before it turns around is in front of the Student Union. Once you get off there, you'll be a block away from the language house. So let's meet at 3:40 in the basement of the language house. We'll get you guys settled and ready to go by 4, which is when our thing starts. If you have any questions or are lost, feel free to email or call me on my cell phone: 512-466-1643. Trinkets are good and welcome. See you Monday!

Mi perceptas, ke neniu el ili lernos Esperanton au okupigxos plu pri la lingvo, sed mi kredas ke ni sukcesis komuniki favoran impreson, kaj eble tiuj informoj kaj impresoj disvastigxos al la konatoj de la studentoj dum la venontaj jaroj kaj iel, ecx se mikoskopamplekse, efikos en la gxenerala kulturo. Sxajnas ke estas du celoj konsiderindaj en cxi tiuj klopodoj: (1) rekruti novajn lernontojn de Esperanto, kiel de tempo al tempo okazos, kaj (2) efiki al auskultantaro favoran sintenon al la afero pri kio ni komunikas. La dua estas cxiam mia cxefa celo. La emfazoj de ni tri diferencas. Mi emfazas la kulturan, literaturan, kaj socian historion de Esperanto, kaj la dezirindeco kaj bezono de la nicxo, kiun gxi okupas inter la retoj de monda komunikado. Mi ne estas varbanto de la "fina celo". Emil eksplikas analogiojn inter Esperanto kaj komputilaj kaj Interretaj normigoj kaj iloj. Ankau, li asertis ke la angla jam atingis pinton, kaj pli kaj influigxas la cxina, do estas oportune subteni Esperanton. Estas sendube sole mia kulpo, ke mi ne rememoras cxu estis konstantaj temoj en la diversaj respondoj de Jed. Ni plenigis la tablosurfacon per libroj kaj kelkaj gazetnumeroj. La libroj ampleksas infanlibrojn, vortarojn, originalajn kaj tradukitajn beletrajxojn, kaj aliaj aferoj. Mi elektis kelkajn librojn kiel enkondukiloj al diversaj temoj, ekz. En Barko Pilota (kolektitaj poemoj) de Auld, La Dangxera Lingvo, Masquerade de Teodoro Sxvarx (tradukita el la originala Esperanto, de la patro de George Soros), ktp. Jed portis librojn ne konatajn al mi, ekz. traduko de ceremonia libro de la juda religia festo Pesah^ (mi ne scias la Esperantan vorton) fare de Erin el la Vasxingtona grupo.

URL: From rdumain at autodidactproject.org Thu Nov 19 01:38:16 2009 From: rdumain at autodidactproject.org (Ralph Dumain) Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:38:16 -0500 Subject: [Membroj] Esther Schor in Pakn Treger Message-ID: Today I received a photocopy of this article in the mail from an old friend. It's about how the struggle with the Jewish Question was at the root of everything Zamenhof did from first to last. Esperanto is only one aspect of Zamenhof's overall cultural struggle. This much is known by most people who have a basic knowledge of Zamenhof's life and work, as are known Zamenhof's early involvement with and later rejection of the Zionist movement, his attempts to reform Judaism, resulting in Hilelismo, later universalizing it to Homaranismo. Fewer people know about Zamenhof's attempt to standardize Yiddish. But rarely for the general reader and almost never in English does one find an article chronicling and explaining the evolution of Zamenhof's perspective and interventions. Schor's article is exactly the talk I would deliver in commemoration of Zamenhof's 150th and the Washington UK centennial. Or I should say, a substantial part of it. (My project regarding the Universala Kongreso of 1910 is much broader, but the deep background behind Zamenhof's "Lando de Libereco" speech renders it more comprehensible.) I like the connections she draws between Hilelismo and Ethical Culture and Reconstructionism (not that I know much of anything about the latter). Schor describes Zamenhof's perspectives on Zionism, language and religious reform. Her narrative is really good as far as it goes, but it does leave out various arguments and severe judgments Zamenhof makes about the past, present, and future of the Jewish people, some of which might displease a number of readers. One's eyes will be opened by reading Zamenhof's argument for Hilelismo (1901, Homo Sum) and his "Alvoko al la Juda Intelektularo", both written in Russian and translated by Adolf Hauzhaus from the manuscripts and self-published in bilingual editions. One's image of mild-mannered Zamenhof could change from reading his anguished, passionate, and at times severe discourse on the Jewish question. You will learn the basis of Zamenhof's eccentric view that language and religion are the two significant sources of social conflict. It was precisely these two factors that for Zamenhof defined the basis of cohesion of peoples, and the people he was concerned about was the Jewish people. At the same time, Zamenhof, though motivated by the suffering of the Jews and little else, refused to the Jews any special status or characteristics apart from any other peoples or religions. His arguments all serve to demystify the Jewish question in ways that are not often heard, though of late certain dissident Israeli scholars are engaging similar arguments, whether on a sound basis or no and whether to a sound purpose or no. Zamenhof rejects the notion of undiluted continuity between the inhabitants of ancient Judaea and today's (1901) Jews. He expresses considerable skepticism about the cultural commonality of the Jews in various nations, who have adapted to their local cultural environments despite the hostility of their neighbors. There are several arguments leading to the conclusion that the only solution is a reform of the Jewish religion, which Zamenhof considers obsolete in its inherited form. He even refers to the Jews as a "pseudopopolo", mired in an absurd existence, living out a nostalgic fantasy for a vanished peoplehood, its intellectuals allowing themselves to be martyred out of loyalty to an outmoded religion they don't really believe in. He also does not want the intellectuals to become isolated from the common people, and he rejects assimilationism. He does not see Yiddish, a mere "jargon" though a beloved one, as a tenable unifying instrument, and since he can locate no other unifying factor, he settles on a religion as the factor explaining the cultural cohesion of the Jewish people, particularly the nationalistic character of the Jewish religion. This, along with outmoded customs and superstitions, Zamenhof wishes to change. Hence the creation of Hilelismo as the vehicle of a modernized, "neutrale-homa" people. There are some bizarre twists and turns in this line of argument. Zamenhof further evolved "Hilelismo" into Homaranismo as a future "neutrale-homa" religion for everyone, based on a nebulous adherence to some higher power or ethical order in which all peoples and all religionists could participate, and atheists, too. It's not hard to see why the project dearest to Zamenhof was stillborn, nay, aborted from its conception. It is nonetheless interesting as one forgotten possibility, one configuration of ideas in a complex network of debates. It is both avant-garde and archaic in its thinking. Perhaps the strangest omission is Zamenhof's total disregard of politics, economics, forms of government, or organized opposition to an autocratic police state. His vision seems to be a semi-secular messianic cultural movement propagated as an ideal--of course, the ideal of a universal language many people wanted and a universal religion nobody would have anything to do with. I don't know what other culturalists were thinking at the time; I haven't begun to research this angle, though of course I know there was a flowering of secular Yiddish culture. There is one thing I did not understand about Zamenhof's argument. I may or may not understand it if I re-read it. It would seem that the most logical option, given Zamenhof's rejection of Zionism and traditional Judaism, would be an embrace of secular Yiddish culture as the unifying force and the way to go. But Zamenhof rejects this option, for reasons I failed to grasp at first reading. Nor do I understand how he thought a "nenormala" people could be converted to a normal one once it miraculously altered its self-concept and self-presentation. This picture makes no sense to me. Schor doesn't discuss several of these aspects of Zamenhof's arguments, and I imagine they could muddy an introductory presentation of the subject. And then who knows how one's primary audience would react? I know a couple of individuals in the Zamenhofologo community who are revolted by Hilelismo. I know that if some of us were put in the same room to argue, somebody might wring somebody's neck, I won't say who on either end of the transaction. Aside from purely cultural redefinition, a comparative analysis would have to take in alternative political pathways. The logical place to begin is the Jewish Labor Bund, which rejected Zionism, rejected political nation-building, embraced socialism and secularism, but also insisted on cultural and organizational autonomy, in this respect opposing the Bolsheviks. If any Bundist ever had anything to say about Esperanto, I sure don't know about it, but I'm putting that on my 'to research' list. ___________________________________ "Scholars of Wisdom have no rest in this world or in the world to come." -- Talmud -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It took a while to get an answer, but I finally did, and while they said their embassy is just too booked to have an event there, they went above and beyond in arranging a suitable commemoration: ?They have arranged for Wanda Zamenhof-Zaruski, great-granddaughter of LLZ daughter of Krisztof Zaleski-Zamenhof, to come to Washington from her Louisiana home to speak to our gathering. ?The embassy will pay for her transportation and lodging here. I spoke to her; she is very friendly and enthusiastic. ?She doesn?t speak Esperanto anymore, but will be happy to speak about homaranismo, to which she is devoted, the Zamenhof family, what the Esperanto movement means to her, etc. Possible dates at this point are Saturday Dec. 12 or Sunday Dec. 13. Mrs. Zamenhof-Zaruski says she could do either but slightly prefers Dec. 13. Of course we need to finalize all this quickly, so I am asking for input from all of you: 1) ? ? ?Is there a general preference among our members for Saturday Dec. 12 or Sunday Dec. 13? ?(Again, she prefers Sunday.) 2) ? ? ?Is our usual banquet place, Burma restaurant in Chinatown, appropriate for this? ?Advantages: ?Great food, low prices, our own room, hospitality, they know us, we know them. ?But since this will be a very special banquet, should we look for someplace else a little more stately, as befitting our very special guest and occasion? Someplace with an Eastern European connection? ?If we are going to try for a new place, I need lots of help to find it, since I?ll be out of the country Nov. 28 ? Dec. 6. Of course, Burma is the simpler option because of the reasons I stated. ?Remember that if we look for another place, it should ideally be: ? ? ? ? Metro-accessible for the carless. ? ? ? ? Reasonably priced. ? ? ? ? Reasonably nice, especially since this is an event co-sponsored by the Polish embassy. ? ? ? ? Willing to give us our own banquet room. I realize this is short notice, but I only just heard from the embassy and communicated with Ms. Zamenhof-Zaruski. ?But we have enough time to set this up and have a wonderful, memorable and historic event. Input, please, ASAP. ?I want to finalize the date and place within a day or too, so any strong opinions on either must be submitted pronto. ?Again, if anyone feels strongly about a different locale, I will need alternative suggestions.

In the 1910s, Polish immigrant L.L. Zamenhof had tried to bridge the gap between the African residents and Jewish settlers through an artificial language. This language, Esperanto, had eased helped ease tensions between the two groups. Continued by his son Adam (who died in the Shoah in another universe), Esperanto had slowly begun to spread. Mostly confined to the urban centers of Israel, the language had begun to spill over into South Africa before the Second World War. With the establishment of the African Federation, a new language was needed to bind the Federation together. The Akademio de Esperanto, a language institute in Port Shalom that had existed since the 1930s, began dispatching educators to establish similar centers throughout the Federation. Esperanto continued to spread. In the comming decades, it would become the language that would bind Africa together. * * * With the large-scale discovery of oil in Nigeria, and diamonds in Baraka (in the old Central African Republic), the AF's economy continued to climb. Esperanto became more and more established as Africa's unifying language. [Unlike in OTL, Esperanto combines many more Africanized words in its vocabulary].
