One should certainly not start with the buzzing and inspirational pub-life of Loughborough (which heading, naturally, should only cover proper ,old-man" pubs) but, then, one should not finish with it either. 1 I will restrict this space for people. My supervisor, Mick Billig proved to be a person I could never possibly imagine beforehand. His contribution cannot really be expressed in words. He is virtually present in every single line of this thesis, even where he is not aware of it and where I am not aware of this either. In his absence, Charles Antaki managed to fill the void, which is no small achievement.

  • Strengthening the Bond: a Graduate Pays It Forward Transcript
    Interviewer: Good afternoon. Today is October 23, 2015, and I am here with Mr. Lou Gross at his home, and sir, thank you for having us down here today. Lou Gross: You’re welcome. Interviewer: Sir, would you please spell your last name for our transcriber? Lou Gross: G-R-O-S-S. Interviewer: Thank you, sir. Now sir, tell me a little bit about yourself, please. Tell me where you were born, when you were born, and what you did growing up. Lou Gross: I was born in Brooklyn in December of 1930. I grew up in a predominately Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn and went to Public School 122 and graduated when I was about 13. And went to Brooklyn Technical High School, where I studied electricity; and the electrical course then was a lot different than it is today. However, the power distribution and transmission creation is pretty much the same. I joined the National Guard. I graduated from high school in 1948, and won a competitive appointment to West Point. Interviewer: Yes sir. Lou Gross: And I entered the Academy in July of 1950. Interviewer: Yes sir. What did your folks do when you were growing up, sir? Lou Gross: My mother was a housewife. I had an older sister and a younger brother, both of whom are still alive, and my father worked in the garment industry. We lived in Brooklyn, and he would take the subway train into Manhattan every day and come home in the evening. Interviewer: Yes sir. It sounds like a pretty good childhood.

  • The Response of Orthodox Jewry in the United States to the Holocaust: the Activities of the Vaad Ha-Hatzala Rescue Committee, 1939-1945'
    H-Judaic Levy on Zuroff, 'The Response of Orthodox Jewry in the United States to the Holocaust: The Activities of the Vaad Ha-Hatzala Rescue Committee, 1939-1945' Review published on Friday, February 1, 2002 Efraim Zuroff. The Response of Orthodox Jewry in the United States to the Holocaust: The Activities of the Vaad Ha-Hatzala Rescue Committee, 1939-1945. New York: KTAV Publishing, 1999. 316 pp. $35.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-88125-666-6. Reviewed by David B. Levy (PhD candidate, Baltimore Hebrew University) Published on H-Judaic (February, 2002) Introduction: A Lasting Contribution to the field of Shoah Studies Efraim Zuroff's expertly researched, well documented, and well written workThe Response of Orthodox Jewry in the United States to the Holocaust: The Activities if the Vaad Ha-Hatzala Rescue Committee, 1939-1945, is an important, unique, and significant addition to Shoah Studies. This illuminating, balanced, and insightful work draws on previously unpublished hitherto unused archival documents, interview testimony, private papers, manuscripts, reports, correspondence and dissertations as well as published books and articles in Holocaust Studies. The integration of written, archival, and oral testimony into a critically astute narrative makes this work unique. The well organized, coherent, and thoughtful narrative account that emerges is one bound to serve as a lasting contribution to the field, bringing more clarity, revealed knowledge, insight, and understanding regarding the history of a key orthodox organization and troubled time. This fascinating and seminal work holds the reader's interest in a captivating, spellbinding, and highly readible narrative. In his Foreword to the book, Yehuda Bauer comments, "His descriptions make fascinating reading; his analysis is thought provoking and innovative.
