    10. Interlude in Denmark (PDF)

    10 Interlude in Denmark In my early student days -- as I have mentioned in chapter 3 -- my friend Christiansen-Weniger and I won an election as German student representatives on the ticket by striking a mathematical funny bone: Christiansen-Weniger - von Hippel [Christiansen minus von Hippel]. In the meantime, "Krischan" had become a professor of agriculture and had been called to Ankara in that capacity. He was an "unblemished Aryan," still a German citizen, and his lovely wife, Luise, alias "Körnchen," also a youth-movement friend, came to visit us. She intended to fly to Warsaw, and I wanted to fly to Copenhagen via Danzig, in order to visit Olga, who was directing a training school for agricultural helpers in that neighborhood. We therefore decided to fly together from Istanbul. In those early years of aviation, this was a major undertaking. Istanbul did not yet have a real airport and our six-passenger plane, with semi-open cockpit, took off from a meadow at night with the headlights of carefully stationed cars outlining a runway. Before our departure, we received the reassuring news that the plane flying the reverse route had crashed in the Albanian mountains. Our flight proved glorious, however. We passed over the Balkans in semi-darkness. No light shone from the ground there because practically all of its settlements had then been wiped out in the Balkan Wars and World War I. At sunrise we reached the Carpathian mountains and flew along that stunning semi-circle separating Hungary from Poland. The air became turbulent and we had to throw up "par la fenêtre [out the window]." At noon we landed in Warsaw, where Luise left me.

    The Czechoslovak Exiles and Anti-Semitism in Occupied Europe During the Second World War

    WALKING ON EGG-SHELLS: THE CZECHOSLOVAK EXILES AND ANTI-SEMITISM IN OCCUPIED EUROPE DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR JAN LÁNÍČEK In late June 1942, at the peak of the deportations of the Czech and Slovak Jews from the Protectorate and Slovakia to ghettos and death camps, Josef Kodíček addressed the issue of Nazi anti-Semitism over the air waves of the Czechoslovak BBC Service in London: “It is obvious that Nazi anti-Semitism which originally was only a coldly calculated weapon of agitation, has in the course of time become complete madness, an attempt to throw the guilt for all the unhappiness into which Hitler has led the world on to someone visible and powerless.”2 Wartime BBC broadcasts from Britain to occupied Europe should not be viewed as normal radio speeches commenting on events of the war.3 The radio waves were one of the “other” weapons of the war — a tactical propaganda weapon to support the ideology and politics of each side in the conflict, with the intention of influencing the population living under Nazi rule as well as in the Allied countries. Nazi anti-Jewish policies were an inseparable part of that conflict because the destruction of European Jewry was one of the main objectives of the Nazi political and military campaign.4 This, however, does not mean that the Allies ascribed the same importance to the persecution of Jews as did the Nazis and thus the BBC’s broadcasting of information about the massacres needs to be seen in relation to the propaganda aims of the 1 This article was written as part of the grant project GAČR 13–15989P “The Czechs, Slovaks and Jews: Together but Apart, 1938–1989.” An earlier version of this article was published as Jan Láníček, “The Czechoslovak Service of the BBC and the Jews during World War II,” in Yad Vashem Studies, Vol.

  • American Ethnicity and Czech Immigrants' Integration in Texas: Cemetery Data

    American Ethnicity and Czech Immigrants' Integration in Texas: Cemetery Data

    AMERICAN ETHNICITY AND CZECH IMMIGRANTS’ INTEGRATION IN TEXAS: CEMETERY DATA EVA ECKERT Anglo-American University, Prague The lasting traces of Czech immigration to Texas and the once prominent immigrant community lead to the cemeteries. The purpose of this study is to show how to read Czech cemetery data in Texas from the 1860s to the 1950s in order to understand the immigrants’ integration and contact with their German neighbors and the dominant Anglo-American society. To immigrants in the middle of the 19th century, Texas offered land and freedom of movement. But the reasons to return home outweighed those to stay for some of the earliest immigrants who were unable to align themselves with networks established by the German immigrants who preceded them. Those who followed the pioneers lived within interethnic social structures that they gradually abandoned in favor of the ethnocentric Czech community. Language choices, the interplay of Czech and English, and the endurance of the Czech language in tombstone inscriptions yield synchronic and diachronic data whose analysis and interpretation reveal sociolinguistic networks of immigrants, rules of social cohesion and ethnic identity. Keywords: Texas Czech cemeteries, immigrant integration, language shift, interethnic networks, ethnocentric Czech community INTRODUCTION Cemetery lands are overlaid with language that is opened to diachronic and synchronic exploration. Chronological data of gravestones resonate with immigrant arrivals. Cemetery inscriptions thus provide a permanent, yet rarely

My central argument is that a close and comparative reading of the role of this cultural figure in the American context, anchored in three representative cases from Argentina—a dictatorship, Mexico—a nominal democracy, and Puerto Rico—a colonially-occupied and minoritized community within the United States, reveals that the liberal idealization of the subject of human rights relies upon the implicit pedagogical regulation of an educable subject of human rights.
