Starting with the early translations of the Torah, the book engages with the role of translation in the life in the Diaspora and the project of Jewish state-building. The essays in this collection trace the story of how translation nourished Jewish culture, cast bridges to the Christian or Muslim world, and defined the shifting boundary between the Self and the Other.

The article aims to present the origin, social context and ideological background of the motto “Arbeit macht frei” and other related texts placed above the entrances to some of the nazi concentration camps. The author raises the question, to what extent was the act of placing of such a motto in a KZ a mere sign of cynism or a conscious demonstration of ideological conviction of the SS-members, internalized in the process of bringing up and socialization in a specific environment.
