  • Study Guide for Band of Brothers – Episode 9: Why We Fight
    Study Guide for Band of Brothers – Episode 9: Why We Fight INTRO: Band of Brothers is a ten-part video series dramatizing the history of one company of American paratroopers in World War Two—E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne, known as “Easy Company.” Although the company’s first experience in real combat did not come until June 1944 ( D-Day), this exemplary group fought in some of the war’s most harrowing battles. Band of Brothers depicts not only the heroism of their exploits but also the extraordinary bond among men formed in the crucible of war. In the ninth episode, Easy Company finally enters Germany in April 1945, finding very little resistance as they proceed. There they are impressed by the industriousness of the defeated locals and gain respect for their humanity. But the G.I.s are then confronted with the horror of an abandoned Nazi concentration camp in the woods, which the locals claim not to have known anything about. Here the story of Easy Company is connected with the broader narrative of the war—the ideology of the Third Reich and Hitler’s plan to exterminate the Jews. CURRICULUM LINKS: Band of Brothers can be used in history classes. NOTE TO EDUCATORS: Band of Brothers is appropriate as a supplement to units on World War Two, not as a substitute for material providing a more general explanation of the war’s causes, effects, and greater historical significance. As with war itself, it contains graphic violence and language; it is not for the squeamish. Mature senior high school students, however, will find in it a powerful evocation of the challenges of war and the experience of U.S.

  • Europa, Más Allá De La COVID-19
    18 de septiembre de 2020 Europa, más allá de la COVID-19 Clément Beaune | Secretario de Estado de Asuntos Europeos, Ministerio para Europa y Asuntos Exteriores de Francia | @CBeaune Versión original en francés: “L'Europe, par delà le COVID-19”, Politique étrangère, vol. 85, n° 3, otoño 2020 en L'Institut français des Relations internationales (Ifri). El acuerdo presupuestario europeo de julio de 2020 es inédito: creará por primera vez un endeudamiento común que permitirá reactivar las economías afectadas por la crisis de la COVID-19. Es el fruto del dinamismo franco-alemán y de ambiciones reiteradas de la Comisión Europea. En un mundo en el que las tensiones se afilan, Francia necesita a Europa para mantener su soberanía. La Unión Europea debe seguir evolucionando para afianzarse como potencia y responder a las expectativas de los ciudadanos. Unas semanas después del acuerdo presupuestario más ambicioso que se haya alcanzado jamás y que adoptó el Consejo Europeo el 21 de julio de 2020, resulta tentador pensar que, fielmente a un principio muy sabiamente repetido, “Europa sólo avanza con las crisis”, la COVID-19 lo ha cambiado todo en la Unión Europea (UE). Como todos los tópicos, éste también tiene algo de verdad. El salto en integración que se ha dado con el endeudamiento común de la UE es la fase de integración europea más importante que se ha producido desde la del euro; sin esta crisis hubiera resultado imposible. Pero, sobre todo, es cierto y también menos visible que este gran avance le debe mucho a un triángulo áureo que, por primera vez, ha recobrado el vigor de los años noventa: la pareja franco-alemana, estrechamente asociada a una Comisión Europea ambiciosa.

  • The German Military and Hitler
    RESOURCES ON THE GERMAN MILITARY AND THE HOLOCAUST The German Military and Hitler Adolf Hitler addresses a rally of the Nazi paramilitary formation, the SA (Sturmabteilung), in 1933. By 1934, the SA had grown to nearly four million members, significantly outnumbering the 100,000 man professional army. US Holocaust Memorial Museum, courtesy of William O. McWorkman The military played an important role in Germany. It was closely identified with the essence of the nation and operated largely independent of civilian control or politics. With the 1919 Treaty of Versailles after World War I, the victorious powers attempted to undercut the basis for German militarism by imposing restrictions on the German armed forces, including limiting the army to 100,000 men, curtailing the navy, eliminating the air force, and abolishing the military training academies and the General Staff (the elite German military planning institution). On February 3, 1933, four days after being appointed chancellor, Adolf Hitler met with top military leaders to talk candidly about his plans to establish a dictatorship, rebuild the military, reclaim lost territories, and wage war. Although they shared many policy goals (including the cancellation of the Treaty of Versailles, the continued >> RESOURCES ON THE GERMAN MILITARY AND THE HOLOCAUST German Military Leadership and Hitler (continued) expansion of the German armed forces, and the destruction of the perceived communist threat both at home and abroad), many among the military leadership did not fully trust Hitler because of his radicalism and populism. In the following years, however, Hitler gradually established full authority over the military. For example, the 1934 purge of the Nazi Party paramilitary formation, the SA (Sturmabteilung), helped solidify the military’s position in the Third Reich and win the support of its leaders.

  • Films on the Holocaust
    Films on the Holocaust Because the Holocaust was such a unique and painful event in the history of human interactions, many filmmakers have dealt with the subject in their films. As the topic is so large, filmmakers all over the world, from the 1940s to our day, have chosen to depict diverse aspects of the Holocaust in both fiction and nonfiction films. During the first years after World War II, fiction films about the Holocaust were made in those Eastern European countries that suffered very badly under the Nazis. In some of the films from that time, the Nazi persecution of Jews plays a minor role, while the war and the ensuing hardship take the films' major focus. An example of this phenomenon is the trilogy of films made by Polish director Andrzej Wajda, which describe Polish life in occupied Warsaw. Since that time, a number of films have been produced that focus on Jewish characters and the specifically Jewish experience during the Holocaust. The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) depicts a young Dutch girl who hid with her family for years until they were discovered by the Nazis (see also Frank Anne). Kapo (1960) hits on the compelling moral issues surrounding a Jewish labor foreman in a concentration camp. Jacob the Liar, first made in Germany in 1978 and remade in the United States in 1999, is the tale of a ghetto Jew who cheers his fellow Jews by telling them the lie that the Germans are losing the war. A different type of fictionalized Holocaust film is that which uses the Holocaust as a backdrop for the film's main story line, rather than a major focus.
