Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Statement on the Death of Former
Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Statement on the Death of Former President Shimon Peres of Israel September 27, 2016 There are few people who we share this world with who change the course of human history, not just through their role in human events, but because they expand our moral imagination and force us to expect more of ourselves. My friend Shimon was one of those people. Shimon Peres once said that, "I learned that public service is a privilege that must be based on moral foundations." Tonight Michelle and I join people across Israel, the United States, and around the world in honoring the extraordinary life of our dear friend Shimon Peres, a founding father of the State of Israel and a statesman whose commitment to Israel's security and pursuit of peace was rooted in his own unshakeable moral foundation and unflagging optimism. I will always be grateful that I was able to call Shimon my friend. I first visited him in Jerusalem when I was a Senator, and when I asked for his advice, he told me that while people often say that the future belongs to the young, it's the present that really belongs to the young. "Leave the future to me," he said, "I have time." And he was right. Whether it was during our conversations in the Oval Office, walking together through Yad Vashem, or when I presented him with America's highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom, Shimon always looked to the future. He was guided by a vision of the human dignity and progress that he knew people of good will could advance together. -
Symbolic Revenge in Holocaust Child Survivors Nancy Isserman
D 7 SYMBOLIC REVENGE IN HOLOCAUST CHILD SURVIVORS Nancy Isserman Introduction The attitudes of Holocaust survivors toward their persecutors present an intriguing subject for exploration. One component of the attitudes expressed is revenge. The concept of revenge is pervasive throughout literature, religious and legal writings, and history. Revenge is also considered a subset of political intolerance. Research on intolerance has been linked to age, education, and religious affiliation, among other demographic factors.1 Political intolerance is associated with low education, older age, rural residence, and fundamentalist reli- gious affiliation.2 My recent qualitative research found a connection between family-of-origin relationships and intolerance.3 Survivors who evidenced positive relationships with their family-of-origin caregivers also demonstrated tolerant attitudes toward the perpetrators of the genocide; conversely, survivors who had troubled relationships with their family-of-origin caregivers expressed intolerance toward the perpetrators.4 The Oxford Dictionaries online define revenge as both concrete and symbolic. The concrete definition incorporates physical behavior: “The action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands.”5 Examples of concrete revenge are found in Holocaust survivor narratives during the later years of the war and immediately afterward. The most famous example of concrete revenge is Abba Kovner, who believed that “the Jews must seek revenge, answering a crime that could not be answered.”6 In the spring of 1945 he declared, “Yes, the War is over, but no, not for the Germans; it is time for the Germans to suffer; the Germans, who killed the Jews, must now pay with their own lives,”7 and quoted Psalm 94 in which God is called on to take revenge on the enemies of Israel. -

Diane Solway, 'Artful Finnish'
Diane Solway, ‘Artful Finnish’, W Magazine, October 17, 2014 A view of Suvikunta, one of the Zabludowiczes’ properties on Sarvisalo Island, Finland. Photography by Jason Schmidt Caragh Thuring in her cottage-turned-studio at Suvikunta preparing for a solo show opening in November. Nicolas Deshayes, Keith Tyson, Caragh Thuring, Erin and Sam Falls, Poju and Anita Zabludowicz, and Olafur Eliasson and his daughter Alma, with Schieleren (Smears), 2010, by Franz West. On a remote island in Finland, mega-collectors Anita and Poju Zabludowicz have established a breathtaking creative oasis. Perhaps it was the milky light of the night in summer, when the sun barely goes down. Or maybe it was the midnight saunas followed by bracing dunks in the sea. More likely, it was simply the light- headedness that comes from being out of the studio and plunked on a remote island off the southern coast of Finland, with little in sight except sky, water, forest, and fields. Whatever the cause, no one felt much like sleeping—not the rising stars Sam Falls, Caragh Thuring, or Nicolas Deshayes, all artists in residence on the property; nor Olafur Eliasson, who was visiting to scope out sites for a possible commission; nor Keith Tyson, a Turner Prize winner. Tyson’s Large Field Array, a work combining 300 sculptural elements, was soon to be housed in its own enormous barn on the grounds, which are dotted by rustic cabins. “Art camp” is how they all described the place. Such is the allure of Sarvisalo, home to the family retreat–turned–art colony and sculpture park owned by Anita and Poju Zabludowicz. -
Shimon Peres.Pdf
| IN MEMORIAM Shimon Peres 1923 - 2016 The Socialist International expresses its great sadness at the passing of Shimon Peres, former Israeli president, prime minister and foreign minister, former leader of the Israel Labour Party (ILP), and a leading figure within the SI as both a vice-president and honorary president of the organisation, who died on Tuesday 27 September at the age of 93. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues. Peres was one of the founders of the state of Israel in 1948, and would go on to be one of the most significant statesmen in its history. He was active in public life for seventy years, including nearly half a century serving as a member of the Knesset, following his election as a member of the SI-member Mapai in 1959. He finally relinquished his seat in the Israeli parliament in 2007, upon his election as president of Israel. He led the ILP, successor to Mapai and member of the SI, on three occasions, from 1977-1992, 1995-1997 and 2003-2005. Shimon Peres served twice as prime minister and on three separate occasions as foreign minister of Israel, in addition to holding various other ministries during his illustrious career. His many achievements included those during the period between 1992 and 1995, when he played a vital role as foreign minister in the government of Yitzhak Rabin with respect to the Israel-Palestine peace process, leading to the signing of the Oslo Accords in September 1993. These contributions were recognised in 1994 when Peres was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with Rabin and Yasser Arafat, president of the Palestinian National Authority, for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East. -

Manager of Downtown Casinos Relinquishing Role
Manager of downtown casinos relinquishing role The company that manages the largest group of downtown Las Vegas casinos is leaving Glitter Gulch, a move that adds even more uncertainty to an already struggling gambling market. The Las Vegas-based Navegante Group on Thursday announced it would part ways with Tamares Group of Vaduz, Liechtenstein. That leaves Tamares, the largest private landowner downtown, to find new management for the Plaza, Las Vegas Club, Western and Gold Spike casinos, a collection that includes more than 1,600 hotel rooms, nearly 2,400 slot machines, 51 table games and employs about 1,600 people. Larry Woolf, chairman of the Navegante Group, said Tamares would be better served by a business partner looking to invest significantly in the properties, which represent about 20 percent of the overall downtown hotel-casino room inventory, as opposed to simply leasing and managing them. „We just don’t have that kind of capital,“ Woolf said. „We are a management company not an investment company.“ Navegante, which Tamares says is required to provide 12 months notice of departure, will continue to manage the four casinos while the owners seek new operators. The company also has management deals with casinos in Carson City, Reno, Elko, New Mexico and Calgary, Alberta. It began managing the Tamares properties in December 2005. Navegante used cost-cutting and efficiency improvements to move cash flow from negative to positive. Some of the changes included removing bingo from the Gold Spike, renegotiating vendor contracts and replacing older slot machines with coinless slots. „If we couldn’t measure it, we eliminated the program,“ Woolf said. -

Myers, Co-Chair Professor Arieh B. Saposnik, Co-Chair This study seeks to shed new light on the complex web of relations among history, historiography and contemporary life. It does so by focusing on Israeli commissions of inquiry that have taken rise in the wake of major national traumas such as failed battles in the 1948 War, the Yom Kippur War, and the assassination of the Zionist leader Chaim Arlosoroff. Each one of these landmark events in the history of Israel was investigated by a state or a military commission of inquiry, whose members and audience operate as authors of history and agents of memory. The study suggests that commissions of inquiry, which have been studied to date primarily as legal, administrative, and political bodies, in fact also operate as a public historian of a unique kind. -
