ResumoAbstract This article examines the customary assumption that ultra-Orthodox memory of the Holocaust is a counter-memory, which confronts, consciously and unconsciously, the dominant secular, Zionist memory of the Holocaust. However, in the early postwar period, the memory of the Holocaust in ultra-Orthodox society was variegated and multifaceted. The article shows that not only did some members of ultra-Orthodox society adopt part of the Zionist narrative on issues such as the lessons of the Holocaust and the centrality of the Land of Israel but that they even took part in its creation and consolidation. During the 1960s some of the ultra-Orthodox spokesmen shifted their commemoration efforts to within their own community for a variety of reasons. Nonetheless, the sectorial barriers between the secular majority and the ultra-Orthodoxy minority in Israel in the first decades were not as high or as rigid as they appear to be today.

Judith Tydor Baumel has emphasized the differences between ultra-Orthodox Holocaust memory and that of other religious groups in Israel. See Baumel Baumel, Judith Tydor. 2001.

Despite their relative noisiness, this group, which consists mainly of Hasidim originating from northeastern Hungary and Transylvania, constitutes less than 5% of ultra-Orthodox society in Israel.

Shalem assumed that the attitude of Moshe Blau, leader of Agudat Yisrael in Palestine, was typical of Agudat Yisrael during the 1950s; he drew this conclusion, however, from the outstanding silence of all others.

It is interesting that although the typical "memory agents" of the Warsaw Ghetto fighters' heroism in ultra-Orthodox society, such as Moshe Prager, Binyamin Mintz, Hillel Seidman, Yehuda Nachshoni, Shmuel Rotstein and Simcha Elberg, were not in Warsaw during the uprising, they told stories about it over and over again, while avoiding writing about their own experiences from the Holocaust. This is also the case of the author David Zaritski, who wrote extensively about the Holocaust, yet never told his personal experiences of exile in Siberia, as will be discussed below. 22. See Baumel, Teguvot la-mered, 296–97. See also Moshe Munk, "Toda'at ha-sho'ah" [Awareness of the Holocaust], She'arim 26, April 24, 1963, in which he wrote, among others: "I cannot avoid noting that twenty years ago, several ultra-Orthodox Jews in Eretz Yisrael criticized the uprising according to Jewish law: 'He who closes [the eyes of a dying man] at the point of death is a murderer' (according to Babylonian Shabbat 151:b) … the rebels of Warsaw Ghetto and the rebels in other ghettoes and camps had not lost their minds and God had not abandoned them. They acted according to the Jewish law and sanctified His name and the honor of Israel. We should educate our youth upon the heroism of the Warsaw Ghetto fighters: we shall not fear the many, even if they are stronger than us, we shall not humiliate ourselves and not lose our value." 23.

See for example an article by Moshe Prager (under the pseudonym David Eisenberg) on the revival of Hasidism in the displaced persons camps, which states that "the ultra-Orthodox Jews in Poland were the first to be led to the pyre … Hitler, may he be damned, began his destruction by uprooting the Jewish religion" and "ultra-Orthodox Judaism, in this sense, stood firm … and the documenters of the Holocaust, including those who are far from the Jewish religion and all that is holy to us, have already determined that there was not one ultra-Orthodox Jew among all the kapos in the death camps and the Jewish policemen in the ghettos."
