  • Terrorism and the Media (Including the Internet): an Extensive Bibliography
    Perspectives on Terrorism Volume 7, Issue 1, Supplement Terrorism and the Media (including the Internet): an Extensive Bibliography Compiled and selected by Judith Tinnes Introduction This bibliography is intended to serve as an extensive up-to-date resource for studying and researching the multi-faceted relationships between terrorism and the media, including the Internet. It contains over 2.200 records covering academic or professional journal articles (most of them peer-reviewed), book chapters, reports, conference contributions, books, theses and other text publications, mainly in English and German. To keep the bibliography manageable, smaller, more informal publications, e.g., blog posts, research briefs, commentaries, newspaper articles, or newsletters, were not considered – with a few exceptions of contributions containing ideas or subjects that were underrepresented in long-form academic or professional literature. The vast majority of resources included date from the 21st century, as after 9/11 – the biggest single media event in history – the amount of publications on the relationship between terrorism and the media has increased considerably. However, terrorist use of the media is as old as terrorism itself and has been researched since the beginning of terrorism studies. Therefore, this bibliography is not restricted to a particular time period and covers publications up to early February 2013. Thematically, the bibliography covers many aspects of the relationship between terrorism and the media, including these: • terrorist use of the traditional media (TV, radio, newspapers); • terrorist use of the new media, especially the Internet (E-Jihad, Cyberterrorism); • online radicalization; • 9/11 as a media event; • media-oriented counter-terrorism measures; • the psychological impact of media exposure to terrorist attacks; • the portrayal of Islam and Muslims after 9/11; • the depiction of terrorism in literature, movies and the arts; • media-oriented hostage-takings.

  • Wagner Intoxication
    WAGNER INTOXICATION: LISTENING TO GOTTFRIED H. WAGNER — 1/27/21, Holocaust Remembrance Day “The Truth Nobody Wants to Hear” From Left: Michael Shapiro, Gottfried Wagner, John Corigliano, William M. Hoffman, Lawrence D. Mass, 1995, at the home of Michael Shapiro, Chappaqua, New York _________ Lawrence D. Mass, M.D., a specialist in addiction medicine, is a co- founder of Gay Men’s Health Crisis and was the first to write about 1 AIDS for the press. He is the author of We Must Love One Another or Die: The Life and Legacies of Larry Kramer. He is completing On The Future of Wagnerism, a sequel to his memoir, Confessions of a Jewish Wagnerite. For additional biographical information on Lawrence D. Mass, please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_D._Mass Larry Mass: For Gottfried Wagner, my work on Wagner, art and addiction struck an immediate chord of recognition. I was trying to describe what Gottfried has long referred to as “Wagner intoxication.” In fact, he thought this would make a good title for my book. The subtitle he suggested was taken from the title of his Foreword to my Confessions of a Jewish Wagnerite: “Redemption from Wagner the redeemer: some introductory thoughts on Wagner’s anti- semitism.” The meaning of this phrase, “redemption from the redeemer,” taken from Nietzsche, is discussed in the interview with Gottfried that follows these reflections. Like me, Gottfried sees the world of Wagner appreciation as deeply affected by a cultish devotion that from its inception was cradling history’s most irrational and extremist mass-psychological movement.

  • Introduction to the Second Edition
    Introduction to the Second Edition By Dr. Rochelle G. Saidel Founder and Director, Remember the Women Institute Remember the Women Institute has created this Women, Theatre, and the Holocaust Resource Handbook as a service to educators and others for whom this information is relevant and necessary. The information here is also intended to be incorporated into two larger projects: the Holocaust Theater Catalog of the National Jewish Theater Foundation, as well as a virtual Holocaust Theatre Online Collection (currently only in Hebrew) for All About Jewish Theatre. We are pleased to be part of both of these larger projects, the former based in the United States and the latter, in Israel. We launched the first edition of this resource handbook in April 2015, at a Yom HaShoah commemoration co-sponsored by Remember the Women Institute, American Jewish Historical Society, and All About Jewish Theatre, and held at the Center for Jewish History, New York. The event coincided with the Remembrance Readings Day of National Jewish Theater Foundation, which encourages using theatre to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive. This new updated 2016 edition of the resource handbook is also being released in conjunction with Remembrance Readings Day on May 2, with a program of readings at the Center for Jewish History in New York, co-sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society. Like the 2015 event, the program is a reflection of the goals of this resource handbook: providing information on and encouraging the production of plays and dramatic presentations about the Holocaust that are written by women and/or about the experience of women during the Holocaust.

  • The Elliott School of INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
    THE ELLIOtt SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ANNUAL REPORT 2006/2007 MISSION THE MISSION OF THE ELLIOTT SCHOOL OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS IS: • To educate the next generation of international leaders • To conduct research and produce scholarship that advances understanding of important global issues • To engage the public and the policy community in the United States and around the world, thereby fostering international dialogue and shaping policy solutions Our mission is to create knowledge, share wisdom and inspire action to make our world a better place. A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN recent survey of scholars ranked the Elliott School’s undergraduate and graduate programs in the top 10. Only five schools in the world were ranked this highly in A both categories. It’s an impressive club. It’s also an important club. The issues we study at the Elliott School—ranging from war and peace to poverty and development—affect the lives of billions of our fellow human beings. Powerful international dynamics—population growth, rising levels of resource consumption, the expansion of the global economy, mounting environmental challenges—will shape the world in the decades ahead. Wise policy and effective international cooperation will be more important than ever. At the Elliott School, the study of international affairs is not an abstract exercise. Our aim is to make our world a better place. The Elliott School is in a unique position to make a difference. Our location in the heart of Washington, DC—just steps from some of the most influential U.S., international and non- governmental organizations in the world—enriches our teaching and research, and it provides us with unmatched opportunities to engage the U.S.

She had a younger sister, Herta, born in 1935. Their parents, like Herta, were deaF. Their father was a jeweler. This is the story oF two young children who were raised in a loving, religiously observant home and who experienced the traumatic and sudden destruction oF their childhood, the loss oF their parents, and their own deportation to the notorious Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, from which they were liberated by the British in 1945. As they struggled to stay alive, Renee and Herta were inseparable. No matter how depressed and distraught she became, Renee never forgot that her younger sister, unable to hear, totally depended on her. Together they survived a long nightmare that included betrayal, physical violence, liFe-threatening disease, and hunger. During the time when Renee and Herta were born, the Jews oF Bratislava lived in relative peace and security. BeFore World War I, most Jews in Bratislava had spoken Magyar or German (German was the language in Renee’s home). Between the wars they also had to learn Slovak as Bratislava, formerly under Hungarian administration, became part oF the new Czechoslovak state, which was founded in 1918. Under the leadership oF President Thomas Masaryk, Czechoslovakia was a democracy, and somewhat more prosperous than countries like Poland and Hungary.

  • The Use and Abuse of Holocaust Memory
    http://www.aei.org/publications/pubID.23492/pub_detail.asp Print Mail The Use and Abuse of Holocaust Memory Bradley Lecture By Walter Reich Posted: Monday, November 28, 2005 SPEECHES AEI Online Publication Date: November 14, 2005 I’m very grateful to Chris DeMuth and to the AEI for inviting me to give this Bradley Lecture. It’s a privilege to speak about a subject that means a lot to me before an audience that means a lot to me. This is a case in which the seriousness of the topic is matched and deepened by the seriousness of those who’ve come here to engage it. For this opportunity I thank you, Chris, I thank the AEI and I thank the Bradley Foundation. The Irony of Holocaust Memory: Even as It Grows Stronger, It Grows More Vulnerable to Distortion and Misuse This talk is about Holocaust memory, and I want to be clear, at the outset, about what I mean by that term. By “Holocaust memory” I mean the public’s consciousness of the Holocaust in the years since the event--that is, what the public has known, or at least what it has thought it has known, about the Holocaust. And that consciousness, in turn, has depended on a number of factors that have changed radically over time. Those factors have included the readiness of Holocaust survivors to talk about the Holocaust; the readiness of Jewish communities around the world to talk about it or to have it be talked about; the readiness of governments, the media and the general public to focus on it; and, once the Holocaust did become the focus of general interest some thirty years after the event, the ways in which it has been presented to the public, both accurately and, too often, inaccurately, and what the public has absorbed from those presentations.

  • Patterns of Cooperation, Collaboration and Betrayal: Jews, Germans and Poles in Occupied Poland During World War II1
    July 2008 Patterns of Cooperation, Collaboration and Betrayal: Jews, Germans and Poles in Occupied Poland during World War II1 Mark Paul Collaboration with the Germans in occupied Poland is a topic that has not been adequately explored by historians.2 Holocaust literature has dwelled almost exclusively on the conduct of Poles toward Jews and has often arrived at sweeping and unjustified conclusions. At the same time, with a few notable exceptions such as Isaiah Trunk3 and Raul Hilberg,4 whose findings confirmed what Hannah Arendt had written about 1 This is a much expanded work in progress which builds on a brief overview that appeared in the collective work The Story of Two Shtetls, Brańsk and Ejszyszki: An Overview of Polish-Jewish Relations in Northeastern Poland during World War II (Toronto and Chicago: The Polish Educational Foundation in North America, 1998), Part Two, 231–40. The examples cited are far from exhaustive and represent only a selection of documentary sources in the author’s possession. 2 Tadeusz Piotrowski has done some pioneering work in this area in his Poland’s Holocaust: Ethnic Strife, Collaboration with Occupying Forces, and Genocide in the Second Republic, 1918–1947 (Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland, 1998). Chapters 3 and 4 of this important study deal with Jewish and Polish collaboration respectively. Piotrowski’s methodology, which looks at the behaviour of the various nationalities inhabiting interwar Poland, rather than focusing on just one of them of the isolation, provides context that is sorely lacking in other works. For an earlier treatment see Richard C. Lukas, The Forgotten Holocaust: The Poles under German Occupation, 1939–1944 (Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky, 1986), chapter 4.
