    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • 124 Warfare Actions of the Large Romanian Military
    WARFARE ACTIONS OF THE LARGE ROMANIAN MILITARY UNITS FOR DEFENSE AND EVACUATION OF CRIMEA IN WORLD WAR II Colonel (ret.) professor Benone ANDRONIC, PhD* Abstract: Researching the existing Romanian and foreign bibliography, regarding the circumstances in which combat forces from the Romanian Army will end up carrying out combat actions, together with Wehrmacht troops, for the defense of Crimea and then the evacuation of troops from the Peninsula, in the World War II, the authors highlight some aspects of these operations, which are less known, and which have sometimes given rise to different and even biased approaches. The analysis shows the steps taken by Marshal Ion Antonescu and the Chief of the General Staff of the Romanian Army, General Ilie Șteflea, to determine Hitler to order the evacuation of troops from large units of the Romanian Army in Crimea, as well as the execution thereof. Keywords: Crimea as strategic objective in the Black Sea; coalition war; politico-military decisions; the Soviet offensive; defense of German-Romanian forces; evacuation of troops. Introduction In July 1942, after the total conquest of Crimea by German and Romanian troops, the southern flank of the German-Soviet front would become the center of gravity for military operations. On June 28, 1942, Army Groups B and A began offensive operations with the mission to conquer the Stalingrad and reach the Volga, as well as the subsequent conquest of the Caucasus, to gain access to oil fields, a mandatory condition for the offensive continuation on Soviet territory. In the summer of 1942, the Wehrmacht Army, although advancing in the depths of Russian territory, was stopped at Stalingrad1, because it aimed to conquer both it and the Caucasus at the same time and not in turn, which * corresponding member of the Romanian Scientists Academy, [email protected].

    The World War Two Allied Economic Warfare: The Case of Turkish Chrome Sales Inaugural-Dissertation in der Philosophischen Fakultät und Fachbereich Theologie der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen Nürnberg Vorgelegt von Murat Önsoy Aus der Türkei D29 Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 15 April 2009 Dekan: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Jens Kulenkampff. Erstgutachter: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Thomas Philipp Zweitgutachter: Universitätsprofessor Dr. Şefik Alp Bahadır ACKNOWLEDGMENTS An interesting coincidence took place in the first year of my PhD study, I would like to share it here. Soon after I moved to Erlangen, I started thinking over my PhD thesis topic. I was searching for an appropriate subject. Turkish Chrome Sales was one of the few topics that I had in my mind. One day, I went to my Doktorvater Prof. Thomas Philipp’s office and discussed the topics with him. We decided to postpone the decision a few days while I wanted to consider the topics one last time and do the final elimination. Afterwards I went to the cafeteria of the Friedrich Alexander University to have lunch. After the lunch, just before I left the cafeteria building, I recognized somebody speaking Turkish and reflexively turned around. He was a Turkish guest worker with a large thick moustache; I paid attention to his name tag for a second. His name was Krom, the Turkish word for chrome, since, for the first time in my life I was meeting someone with the name Krom I asked him about his name. Perhaps he is the only person with this name in Turkey. He told me that, this name was given by his father, who was a worker of a chrome mine in Central Anatolia and that day, when Mr.

  • Delegation Statements
    Delegation Statements AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE Statement by David A. Harris EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR To the Delegates to the Washington Conference on Holocaust- Era Assets: As one of the non-governmental organizations privileged to be accredited to the Conference, we join in expressing our hope that this historic gathering will fulfill the ambitious and worthy goals set for it. The effort to identify the compelling and complex issues of looted assets from the Second World War, and to consult on the most appropriate and expeditious means of addressing and resolving these issues, offers a beacon of light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel for Holocaust survivors, for the descendants of those who perished in the flames, for the vibrant Jewish communities which were destroyed, and for all who fell victim to the savagery and rapacity of those horrific times. We are pleased as well that, in addition to discussion of these enormously important topics, the Conference will also take up the matter of Holocaust education, for, in the end, this can be our permanent legacy to future generations. We hope that the Conference will reach a consensus on the need for enhanced international consultation, with the aim of encouraging more widespread teaching of the Holocaust in national school systems. Moreover, we commend those nations that have already taken impressive steps in this regard. Not only can teaching of the Holocaust provide young people with a better insight into the darkest chapter in this century's history, but, ultimately, it can serve to strengthen their commitment to fundamental principles of human decency, mutual understanding and tolerance – all of 146 WASHINGTON CONFERENCE ON HOLOCAUST-ERA ASSETS which are so necessary if we are to have any chance of creating a brighter future.
