Abstract
This thesis focuses on the study of Jewish community leaderships (Zionists and liberal religious sectors) as representative actors of organizations that were part of the civil society during the period of military dictatorship in Argentina from 1976 to 1983; Thus incorporating the mentioned study to empirical investigations that allow learning more about attitudes and social behaviors during the period of that factual government.
While it is undeniable that during military dictatorships coercive mechanisms are used to obtain obedience and social submission, there are also complex and varied motivations for members of society to give their support and participate in various forms of consensus in certain circumstances, and in others, to resort to strategies of opposition.
On this premise, our research studied the Zionist leaders of the institution that represents Jewish people in Argentina, DAIA (Delegation of Israelite Associations in Argentina) and the headmen of liberal religious sectors (conservative and reformist currents). We analyzed their behavior according to a scale based on two extreme notions: adaptation and distancing towards the military government. This analysis allowed us to question, refine and complex the bidirectional narratives that were built in the post-dictatorship concerning how the DAIA stayed in silence and the liberal religious leaders denounced the repression.
This thesis does not seek to deny that these leaderships had different behaviors during the dictatorship. However, we propose that it is a simplification of the analysis to establish that there were only two feasible positions. Our study shows that, in the context of state repression, while dealing with anti-Semitic violence, leaderships expressed, in some cases divergent, but in others similar interpretations.
At a social level, there was a remarkable growth of the liberal religious current, which penetrated a wide variety of organizations to the point that redefined the Jewish field map during those years. We show the reasons for this growth and how this current revitalized those ambits. At a political level, we analyzed the relationship established between DAIA and the military authorities by the degree of rapprochement or distance, and noted that there were three distinct stages, to which we have called "adapting stage", "abnegation stage" and "distancing stage".
We analyzed the Jewish leaderships in terms of inter-ethnic relations (between Zionists and liberal), of its links to the military state and of its strategies with international Jewish organizations. We noted that in certain circumstances, these individuals acted and negotiated with the Government under leadership styles and characteristics of each sector, which were in continuity with previous period intervention methods. Fundamentally, we studied organizational proposals with which these leaderships led the Jewish community in those years.
