This study investigates the negotiation of Jewish-German-Communist identity in post-Holocaust Germany, specifically East Germany. After an introduction to the political-historical context, it highlights the conflicted writings of six East German Jewish writers: Anna Seghers (1900-1983), Stefan Heym (1913-2001), Stephan Hermlin (1915-1997), Jurek Becker (1937-1997), Peter Edel (1921-1983), and Fred Wander (1917-2006). All were Holocaust survivors. All lost family members in the Holocaust. All were important writers who played a leading role in East German cultural life, and all were loyal citizens and committed socialists, although their definitions and maneuvers regarding Party loyalty differed greatly. Good soldiers, they viewed their writing as contributing to the social-political revolution taking place in East Germany. Informed by Holocaust and trauma studies, as well as psychology and deconstruction, this study looks for moments when Party discipline falters and other, repressed, thoughts and emotions surface, decentering the works. Some recurring questions addressed include: What is the image of Germans? Do the works evidence revenge fantasies? How does the negotiation of ostensibly mutually exclusive identities play out? Is there acknowledgement of the insufficiency of Communist theory to explain anti-Semitism, as well as recognition of Stalinist or other forms of Communist anti-Semitism? Although these writers ultimately established themselves in East Germany, attaining positions of privilege and even power, their best works nonetheless evince an acute sense of endangerment and vulnerability; they are documents both created and marked by trauma.

A comparative study of variations in occup'al stratification & mobility of 4 countries. Data from the UK, Japan, the Netherlands & the US are presented in 8 tables. A dichotomy is noted between manual & non-manual & between inflow & outflow mobility. The basic data for the 4 countries are: the UK (manual mobility: inflow 24.83%; outflow 24.73%; nonmanual mobility: inflow 42.015; outflow 42.14%); Japan (12.43%, 23.70%, 48.00%, 29.66%); the Netherlands (18.73%, 19.77%, 44.84%0, 43.20%); & US (18.06%, 30.38%, 32.49%, 19.55%). It is concluded that the US has the highest rate of upward movement, ie manual to nonmanual; it also has the lowest rate of downward movement from the nonmanual stratum. The UK has the most downward movement & is 2nd in terms of upward mobility. But, contrary to popular opinion, the UK & the Netherlands are less congealed in some aspects of their soc structure than the US & Japan. I. Langnas.
