In den 1930er Jahren emigrierten deutsche Juden und Jüdinnen nach Palästina1 im Rahmen der in der zionistischen Geschichtsschreibung so bezeichneten „Fünften Alija“. Im israelischen Sprachgebrauch werden sie „Jeckes“ genannt. Die Etymologie des Begriffs ist zwar umstritten, doch eine gängige Deutung weist direkt auf Sprachund Kulturkontakte hin: Die jiddischsprachigen Juden des Jischuw2 hätten die Neuankömmlinge aus deutschen Großstädten „Jeckes“ genannt. Der Begriff ist mit Konnotationen der Andersartigkeit, einer gewissen Naivität und Humorlosigkeit, aber auch mit Gewissenhaftigkeit, Verlässlichkeit und Anständigkeit verbunden. Der urban legend nach seien die Jeckes unter den EinwohnerInnen Palästinas/Israels an ihren besonders starren Umgangsformen erkennbar gewesen, an ihrem „etwas altmodischen, stehengebliebenen, ja versteinerten Deutsch“,3 ihrer Vorliebe für Kultur und Musik und vor allem ihrer für das orientalische Klima völlig ungeeigneten Kleidung: Die Männer hätten – so die Legende – das bis oben zugeknöpfte Jackett – Jiddisch: Jecke – nach Berliner Art getragen. Dieses altmodische Kleidungsstück fungiert als Symbol einer vergangenen Grandezza, die reichlich verspottet wird. Hier nehmen die Ostjuden eine historische Revanche an den ‚assimilierten‘ Westjuden.

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?

The forced migration of German-speaking refugees fleeing Nazism brought to Canada a group of “accidental” immigrants—the “Camp Boys.” The group consisted of German and Austrian nationals, Jewish and non-Jewish, who had previously migrated to the United Kingdom. In 1940, the British government decided to register all “enemy aliens” and to intern some of them. A few weeks later, approximately 2,000 male internees (aged from 16-65 years) were sent overseas to Canadian internment camps. They spent several months in a confined, allmale, but sociologically extremely diverse, environment. The internment camps thus became a vividly remembered matrix of masculinity, especially for the younger “Boys.” From the Camp Boys’ retrospective self-narratives, it appears that their self-representation and self-construction as “men” was deeply affected by the feelings of confinement, powerlessness, and impotence they experienced in the camps. By looking at the way power circulated in the camps, and the way hierarchies were constructed (intersecting class, religion, and sexuality), the author addresses and reframes the notion of subordinated vs. “hegemonic masculinity” (R.W. Connell). By looking at the retrospective self-narratives produced by these men, he also addresses the narrative and performative construction of masculine identities.
