  • “100 Percent American”: Henry Morgenthau Jr. and American Jewry, 1934-1945 Lucy
    Reconciling American Jewishness with the “100 Percent American”: Henry Morgenthau Jr. and American Jewry, 1934-1945 Lucy Hammet Senior Research Capstone History 480, Senior Research Seminar Dr. Vivien Dietz Hammet 2 Reflecting on his childhood, his family, and his religion, Henry Morgenthau III, son and namesake of FDR’s Secretary of the Treasury, wrote in 1991 of his Jewish heritage, calling it “a kind of birth defect that could not be eradicated but with proper treatment could be overcome, if not in this generation then probably in the next. The cure was achieved through the vigorous lifelong exercise of one’s Americanism.”1 He goes on to recount a childhood memory that took place in the early 1920s in New York City when a fellow playmate asked about his religion. Later, he confronted his parents with the question, “What’s my religion?” In response, Morgenthau III was taught the following: “If anyone ever asks you that again, just tell them you’re an American.”2 And that is what he did for much of his life. Had he asked his father, Henry Morgenthau Jr., this same question twenty years later, the answer would likely have been very different. By the end of World War II, Morgenthau Jr. was a leader in the American Jewish establishment, chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, and an aggressive actor in the struggle to save the remaining Jews of Europe. His son understood this change as having “sprung from something hidden deep within his conscience.”3 In reality, Morgenthau was one of many American Jews who underwent a turbulent change in experience of Jewishness in the 1930s and 1940s.

  • Knowing About Genocide: Armenian Suffering and Epistemic Struggles
    1 Social Interaction, Self-Reflection, and Struggles over Genocide Knowledge Carmelite Christie—missionary, school administrator, and educator in the town of Tarsus in Turkey—writes observations about the Armenian genocide, which unfolded around her and throughout the Ottoman Empire, in her diary entries of 1915–19 (Minnesota Historical Society [MHS], n.d.). Christie’s first preserved entry confirms scholarship according to which killings and deportations were in full force by the fall of 1915. On October 1, 1915, she notes that Prof. Zenop Bezjian spent one night in Tarsus en route for Constantinople, whither he goes as the ecclesiastical representative for the Protestants of all Turkey. He told us of 60,000 exiles encamped between the end of the RR [railroad] journey, Osmania and Aleppo,—sent from home and business all the way along the line from Constan- tinople,—and not wanted in the regions to which they go. Multitudes are starving. They are without money, no work to be had, food scarce, even for those able to pay, sickness of all kinds prevalent, numbers dying every day. (MHS Box 28:2–3) Christie writes about massacres in villages near Yozgat, the dead left unburied: They told of a village of 300 where 200 had been butchered. There were many mur- ders on the road, and women outraged in the usual manner, and young women stolen and taken away. Robbery was a daily occurrence. I heard today of a poor woman at Gulek [Gülek] Station, who was without any money or food. [The woman] threww [sic] her two little ones into the shallow stream .

Each Legislative Souvenir has its own special features of legislation and legislators to represent Fortunately the editor is not required to attempt any explanation of the differences he tinds in each Legislature. "His not to reason why." That is for the voters to pass upon. The Souvenir of 1897 is remarkable in that, for the first time, it represents an Executive Council composed wholly of Republicans. And it is still more remarkable, probably, in that this Council includes a Negro, one who was born a slave, but who, by the curious and in- tricate complications of modern politics in Boston, was elected by bis district as one of the constitutional advisers of the Governor. As it is quite improbable that the present generation will again see a Council wholly Republican or a Councillor of Negro blood, this Souvenir of 1897 will have a unique value in this respect at least. And this Councillor came and went among his fellows, iu all respects as though the accident of color made no shade of difference between them. The Legislature of 1S97, like most Legislatures, had one chief bill to pass upon, — that for a new Elevated Railroad for Iloston. The bill became law with no suspicion of improper action attaching to it in all its progress, even though almost untold millions were at stake.
