  • 1 KING of CHILDREN Betty Jean Liffton (Biography of Janusz Korczak)
    KING OF CHILDREN Betty Jean Liffton (Biography of Janusz Korczak) Who was Janusz Korczak? “The lives of great men are like legends-difficult but beautiful.” Janusz Korczak once wrote, and it was true of his. Yet most Americans have never heard of Korczak, Polish-Jewish children’s writer and educator who is as well known in Europe as Anne Frank. Like her, he died in the Holocaust and left behind a diary; unlike her, he had a chance to escape that fate-a chance he chose not to take. His legend began on August 6, 1942; during the early stages of the Nazi liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto-though his dedication to destitute children was legendary long before the war. When the Germans ordered his famous orphanage evacuated, Korczak was forced to gather together the two hundred children in his care. He led them with quiet dignity on that final march through the ghetto streets to the train that would take them to “resettlement in the East ” -the Nazi euphemism for the death camp Treblinka. He was to die as Henryk Goldszmit, the name he was born with, but it was by his pseudonym that he would be remembered. It was Janusz Korczak who introduced progressive orphanages designed as just communities into Poland, founded the first national children’s newspaper, trained teachers in what we now call moral education, and worked in juvenile courts defending children’s rights. His books How to Love a Child and The Child’s Right to Respect gave parents and teachers new insights into child psychology.

A group of prisoners had surreptitiously pieced together a U.S. flag with an extra row of stars.

  • A Career in Writing
    A Career in Writing Judah Waten and the Cultural Politics of a Literary Career David John Carter MA Dip Ed (Melb) Thesis submitted as total fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts, Deakin University, March 1993. Summary This thesis examines the literary career of Judah Waten (1911-1985) in order to focus on a series of issues in Australian cultural history and theory. The concept of the career is theorised as a means of bringing together the textual and institutional dimensions of writing and being a writer in a specific cultural economy. The guiding question of the argument which re-emerges in different ways in each chapter is: in what ways was it possible to write and to be a writer in a given time and place? Waten's career as a Russian-born, Jewish, Australian nationalist, communist and realist writer across the middle years of this century is, for the purposes of the argument, at once usefully exemplary and usefully marginal in relation to the literary establishment. His texts provide the central focus for individual chapters; at the same time each chapter considers a specific historical moment and a specific set of issues for Australian cultural history, and is to this extent self-contained. Recent work in narrative theory, literary sociology and Australian literary and cultural studies is brought together to revise accepted readings of Waten's texts and career, and to address significant absences or problems in Australian cultural history. The sequence of issues shaping Waten's career in

    Stefan Appelius Als Pazifistin in Bonn: Alma Kettigs Weg in der Sozialdemokratischen Bundestagsfraktion 1. Die Kontroverse um die Wiederaufrüstung Theo Pirker beschreibt das politische Klima in der Bundesrepublik mit Blick auf den Bundestagswahlkampf im Jahre 1953 sehr zutreffend mit der Feststellung, der Antikommunismus habe in der breiten Masse der Bevöl- kerung Westdeutschlands in jenen Jahren die Position des Antisemitismus eingenommen, in Form eines tiefen, weltanschaulich verhärteten und durch Propaganda stets aufs neue aktualisierbaren Vorurteils.1 Der Wahltag am 6. September 1953 brachte der SPD mit lediglich 28,8 % der Stimmen eine vernichtende Niederlage ein und der jungen Wittener Sozialdemokratin Alma Kettig den Einzug in den Bundestag. Alma Kettig hatte nur widerwillig und rein formal auf einem hinteren Platz der nord- rheinwestfälischen SPD-Landesliste kandidiert. Durch den Verlust sicher geglaubter Direktmandate "zog" die SPD-Landesliste in NRW erheblich besser als zunächst berechnet und bescherte so in den frühen Morgen- stunden des 7. September 1953 einer völlig überraschten Frau die Nach- richt, ihre parlamentarische Laufbahn habe soeben begonnen: "In Witten gab es fast einen kleinen Aufstand. Viele hatten ja gar nicht mitbekommen, daß ich kandidierte. Ich hatte gerade ein kleines Appartement gemietet, meine erste eigene Wohnung! Dafür hatte ich lange gespart. 20 Jahre lang hatte ich möbliert gewohnt. Als ich gerade Fenster putzte, wurde ich ans Telefon gerufen. 'Sitzt du oder stehst du?' fragten mich die Genossen aus dem Bezirksbüro. 'Wir möchten dir gratulieren'. Ich dachte, sie gratulieren mir zur Wohnung. 'Nein', sagten sie, 'zu ganz etwas anderem; du bist Bundestagsabgeordnete!' Ich konnte das zunächst gar nicht glauben. 'Allmächtiger Strohsack', dachte ich, 'was denn nun?'"2 1 Theo Pirker, 1965, S.181.

This implies that organized equity markets are, in some sense, underdeveloped. The purpose of this paper is, first, to describe the German equity markets and, second, to analyze whether it is underdevel- oped in any meaningful sense. In the descriptive part we provide a detailed account of the microstructure of the German equity markets, putting special emphasis on recent develop- ments. When comparing the German market with its peers, we find that it is indeed underdeveloped with respect to market capitalization. In terms of liquidity, on the other hand, the German equity market is not generally underdeveloped. It does, however, lack a liquid market for block trading.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating' adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding o f the dissertation.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.
