  • Anton Maegerle Die Iranische Rechtsextremisten-Connection
    www.doew.at Anton Maegerle Die iranische Rechtsextremisten-Connection Ersterschienen im Vierteljahresheft Tribüne. Zeitschrift zum Verständnis des Judentums (Frankfurt am Main). 2. Quartal 2006, Heft 178. Hier: ergänzte Fassung. Irans Staatspräsident Mahmud Ahmadinedschad hat seit seinem Amtsantritt im August 2005 in Verbalattacken wiederholt den Holocaust bezweifelt und Israel als „Krebsgeschwür“ bezeichnet. Ahmadinedschad und führende Re- präsentanten des Gottesstaates haben mehrfach angekündigt eine so genannte „Holocaust-Untersuchung“ abhalten zu wollen. „Es ist das erste Mal in der Geschichte der Holocaust-Weltpolitik, daß eine ganze Regierung den jüdischen Holocaust einer freien wissenschaftlichen Prüfung, unterzieht“ – jubilierte die in rechtsextremen Kreisen einflussreiche antisemitische HetzpostillePhoenix .1 Als „Holocaust-Experten“ sind die Namen von einschlägigen Holocaustleug- nern im Gespräch. Irans Außenminister Manuchehr Mottaki bezeichnete im Februar 2006 das Urteil gegen den britischen Holocaustleugner David Irving (Jg. 1938) als „westliches Paradox“. Der Westen fordere Meinungsfreiheit, praktiziere aber das Gegenteil. „Wir verstehen nicht, warum der Westen so verzweifelt darauf besteht, dieses Verbrechen begangen und genau sechs Mil- lionen getötet zu haben“, sagte Mottaki.2 Irving war zuvor vom Wiener Straf- landesgericht zu einer dreijährigen Haftstrafe wegen nationalsozialistischer Wiederbetätigung verurteilt worden. Weithin unbekannt ist die Tatsache, dass Rechtsextremisten seit dem Sieg der Islamischen Revolution 1979 enge Kontakte zum Iran pflegen. Gemeinsam sind den religiösen Fundamentalisten im Iran und den Rechtsextremisten unter- schiedlichster Couleur Feindbilder wie Antiliberalismus, Antiamerikanismus, Antisemitismus und Antizionismus. Islamisten und Rechtsextremisten pflegen ein ausgeprägtes Freund-Feind-Denken, propagieren die Ideologie der Un- gleichheit und lehnen die universalistische Geltung der Menschenrechte und Menschenwürde ab. 1 Phoenix 1/2006, S. 19. 2 Zit. nach Huber, Markus: Justizias Goldwaage, in: Tagesspiegel, 22.

Half A Memory: The Vietnam War In The American Mind, 1975 - 1985 Mark W. Jackley Submitted for the Degree of Master of Arts in History University of Richmond, 1989 Dr. Barry Westin, Thesis Director This study attempts to show how Americans in general remembered the Vietnam War from 1975 to 1985, the decade after it ended. A kind of social history, the study concentrates on the war as remembered in the popular realm, examining novels as well as nonfiction, poetry, plays, movies, articles in political journals, songs, memorials, public opinion polls and more. Most everything but academic history is discussed. The study notes how the war's political historY. was not much remembered; the warrior, not the war, became the focus of national memory. The study argues that personal memory predominated over political memory for a number of reasons, the most important being the relative unimportance of the nation of Vietnam to most Americans.

  • Anna Akhmatova - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Anna Akhmatova - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Anna Akhmatova(23 June 1889 – 5 March 1966) Anna Andreyevna Gorenko, better known by the pen name Anna Akhmatova, was a Russian and Soviet modernist poet, one of the most acclaimed writers in the Russian canon. Akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to intricately structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935–40), her tragic masterpiece about the Stalinist terror. Her style, characterised by its economy and emotional restraint, was strikingly original and distinctive to her contemporaries. The strong and clear leading female voice struck a new chord in Russian poetry. Her writing can be said to fall into two periods - the early work (1912–25) and her later work (from around 1936 until her death), divided by a decade of reduced literary output. Her work was condemned and censored by Stalinist authorities and she is notable for choosing not to emigrate, and remaining in Russia, acting as witness to the atrocities around her. Her perennial themes include meditations on time and memory, and the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of Stalinism. Primary sources of information about Akhmatova's life are relatively scant, as war, revolution and the totalitarian regime caused much of the written record to be destroyed. For long periods she was in official disfavour and many of those who were close to her died in the aftermath of the revolution. <b>Early life and family</b> Akhmatova was born at Bolshoy Fontan, near the Black Sea port of Odessa.

  • Intimate Perspectives from the Battlefields of Iraq
    'The Best Covered War in History': Intimate Perspectives from the Battlefields of Iraq by Andrew J. McLaughlin A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2017 © Andrew J. McLaughlin 2017 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote. External Examiner Marco Rimanelli Professor, St. Leo University Supervisor(s) Andrew Hunt Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Jasmin Habib Associate Professor, University of Waterloo Internal Member Roger Sarty Professor, Wilfrid Laurier University Internal-external Member Brian Orend Professor, University of Waterloo ii Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This study examines combat operations from the 2003 invasion of Iraq War from the “ground up.” It utilizes unique first-person accounts that offer insights into the realities of modern warfare which include effects on soldiers, the local population, and journalists who were tasked with reporting on the action. It affirms the value of media embedding to the historian, as hundreds of journalists witnessed major combat operations firsthand. This line of argument stands in stark contrast to other academic assessments of the embedding program, which have criticized it by claiming media bias and military censorship. Here, an examination of the cultural and social dynamics of an army at war provides agency to soldiers, combat reporters, and innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

Funkhouser (Fellows Advisor) (Executive Director) April 2001 Group: Humanities ABSTRACT The New Voice of Antisemitism: Recent Holocaust Negationist Literature in America. (April 2001) Jami Lee John Department of English Texas A&M University Fellows Advisor: Dr. David Myers Department of English This honors thesis argues that the literature of Holocaust negationism is a repackaging of classical antisemitism. The propositional content of negationist discourse is less significant, I argue, than its rhetoric. And its rhetoric unmasks the truth about negationism: its primary concern is not the Holocaust at all, but an "international Jewish conspiracy" that is behind the "Holocaust hoax. " It is a bad mistake, then, for liberal academics and scholars to treat negationism as merely "the other side" of the "Holocaust story, " and to protect its right to a hearing. The reality

In all, Hadassah treats more than 600,000 people a year in its two hospitals and community medical centers.
