Directrice de recherche en Science politique à l'Université Paris- Sorbonne-Nouvelle, dernier ouvrage : Les nouveaux autoritaires. Justiciers, censeurs et autocrates (éd. du Moment 2016) Résumé : Entre 1946 et 1952, sous les deux présidences Perón, plusieurs milliers d’anciens nazis dont de nombreux criminels de guerre notoires, sont arrivés en Argentine. C’est tout un faisceau de causes qui a fait de l’Argentine la pièce maîtresse de l’accueil des anciens nazis en Amérique latine : une admiration pour l’expertise allemande dans l’art militaire comme dans les technologies industrielles, relevant d’une longue tradition ; une volonté développementiste ; un appât du gain ; des relations personnelles privilégiées de longue date entre Perón et les nazis ; des affinités idéologiques et un antisémitisme marqué. Ce dossier met en lumière la complexité des liens entre l’Amérique latine et l’Europe, d’hier à aujourd’hui. Mots clés : Argentine, péronisme, nazis, antisémitisme Abstract : Between 1946 and 1952, under the two Perón presidencies, several thousands of former Nazis, including many notorious war criminals, arrived in Argentina. It is a whole bundle of causes that has made Argentina the centerpiece of the reception of former Nazis in Latin America. A traditional admiration for German expertise in military art as well as in industrial technologies. A developmental will. A lure of gain. Long-standing privileged personal relations between Perón and the Nazis. Ideological affinities and marked anti-Semitism. This dossier highlights the complexity of the links between Latin America and Europe from yesterday to today.

Powell, Associate Professor of Political Science, Leadership Studies Sol Goldman, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Political Science Copyright 2014 Katherine M. Campbell Abstract: Scholars have debated Pope Pius XII’s role in the Holocaust since the 1960s. Did he do everything he could and should have done to save Jews? His critics say no because of antisemitism rooted in the traditional Catholic views. His defenders say yes and deny that he was an antisemite. In my thesis, I shall assess the arguments on both sides in terms of the available evidence. I shall focus both on what Pius XII did do and what he did not do and on the degree to which he can be held responsible for the actions of low-level clergy.

Short, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, United Kingdom International Journal of Historical Learning, Teaching and Research [IJHLTR], Volume 14, Number 2 – Spring/Summer 2017 Historical Association of Great Britain www.history.org.uk ISSN: 14472-9474 Abstract: In this article I seek to encourage those involved in Holocaust education in schools to engage not just with the Holocaust but also with its aftermath. I conceptualise the latter in terms of two questions; namely, what happened to those Jews who survived the Nazi onslaught and what became of the perpetrators? British researchers in the field of Holocaust education have largely ignored these questions, discovering only that many schools ignore them too. I argue that students are able to benefit in a number of ways from learning about the aftermath of the Holocaust, for the topic provides a sense of closure, allows for a more sophisticated understanding of the fate of European Jewry between 1933 and 1945 and also has the potential to promote responsible citizenship.

Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) Paul Schaefer received a 20-year jail sentence in a Chilean court on May 24. The former leader of the compound known as Colonia Dignidad was convicted on charges that he committed abuses against 25 minors in the enclave between 1993 and 1997, and he faces further charges for participating in crimes committed by the secret police. The judge in Schaefer's case, Talca Appeals Court Judge Hernan Gonzalez, ordered the maximum penalty for 20 charges of "dishonest abuse" of minors and five counts of "sodomy rape" of children, resulting in the 20-year sentence and an order for an indemnification of 770 million pesos (US $1.4 million) to be paid to the victims. Gonzalez considered the crimes attributed to Schaefer to be proven, and he ruled favorably on the applications for indemnification from lawyers for 11 of the victims, who were ages 7 to 17 at the time of Schaefer's abuses.

I've included my detailed comments below, along with references and educational handouts from Physicians for Informed Consent that further support my comments below. Please vote NO and leave this decision between parents and their health care provider. My name is Kayla Gorman and I am a mother to a 19-month-old and have another baby on the way. The one size fits all vaccine policies and laws, which fail to respect biodiversity and force everyone to be treated the same, places an unfair risk on a minority of unidentified individuals that are unable to survive vaccination without being harmed. Parents can, in partnership with their child’s health care provider, make informed decisions that best suits their family and their own medical history, whether that decision be to fully vaccinate according to the CDC schedule, partially vaccinate, vaccinate on an alternative schedule or not vaccinate at all.

Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

Report for the Year 2018 An overview of management performance and of accounting records for 2017 was audited by the Audit Committee of the Association through the review of banking records. The management report for 2017 was subsequently sent to the Municipal Court in Prague, into a file of documents of the Register of recorded Associations. The Association informed the Tax Office that pursuant to Section 38mb No. 586/1992 Coll. Of the Income Taxe Code, it was not required to file an income tax return for 2017. In 2018 the Association sent to all 2017 donors for tax purposes a confirmation of the acceptance of their donations. In 2018 we duly accounted for the gift of the Hagibor Foundation for the year 2017. The Hagibor Foundation confirmed by mail on July 10, 2018 the accuracy of the accounting. All financial operations in 2018 were performed exclusively via bank transfers. This management method has proved to be good and the Board proposes to proceed in the future the same way. The rejection of cash contributions during individual activities, though it reduces small donations, it keeps everything transparent and clear to members, donors, and for bookkeepers. In 2018, the Hagibor Foundation accepted the Association's request to support our charitable activities and those benefiting the Hagibor Social Welfare Home (DSPH) and provided a contribution of CZK 8,000,000.
