  • Radio and the Rise of the Nazis in Prewar Germany
    Radio and the Rise of the Nazis in Prewar Germany Maja Adena, Ruben Enikolopov, Maria Petrova, Veronica Santarosa, and Ekaterina Zhuravskaya* May 10, 2014 How far can the media protect or undermine democratic institutions in unconsolidated democracies, and how persuasive can they be in ensuring public support for dictator’s policies? We study this question in the context of Germany between 1929 and 1939. Radio slowed down the growth of political support for the Nazis, when Weimar government introduced pro-government political news in 1929, denying access to the radio for the Nazis up till January 1933. This effect was reversed in 5 weeks after the transfer of control over the radio to the Nazis following Hitler’s appointment as chancellor. After full consolidation of power, radio propaganda helped the Nazis to enroll new party members and encouraged denunciations of Jews and other open expressions of anti-Semitism. The effect of Nazi radio propaganda varied depending on the listeners’ predispositions toward the message. Nazi radio was most effective in places where anti-Semitism was historically high and had a negative effect on the support for Nazi messages in places with historically low anti-Semitism. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * Maja Adena is from Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung.

    Radio and the rise of Nazi in pre-war Germany* Maja Adena, Ruben Enikolopov, Maria Petrova, Veronica Santarosa, and Ekaterina Zhuravskaya1 March 22 2012 How far can media undermine democratic institutions and how persuasive can it be in assuring public support for dictator policies? We study this question in the context of Germany between 1929 and 1939. Using quasi-random geographical variation in radio availability, we show that radio had a significant negative effect on the Nazi vote share between 1930 and 1933, when political news had an anti-Nazi slant. This negative effect was fully undone in just one month after Nazi got control over the radio in 1933 and initiated heavy radio propaganda. Radio also helped the Nazi to enroll new party members and encouraged denunciations of Jews and other open expressions of anti-Semitism after Nazi fully consolidated power. Nazi radio propaganda was most effective when combined with other propaganda tools, such as Hitler’s speeches, and when the message was more aligned with listeners’ prior as measured by historical anti-Semitism. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * We are grateful to Jürgen W.

  • Shankar Jaikishan – Emperors of Music by Ashwini Kumar Rath
    Shankar Jaikishan – Emperors of Music By Ashwini Kumar Rath Shankar Jaikishan music, synonym of Indian Film music, has far reaching impact in India and outside. The duo moulded music and musical mood of masses since 1949, and are still considered to be the best music composers from India. The duo also contributed outside movie industry with their much celebrated album Raga in Jazz Style, and background music for documentary Everest expedition among many others. If we look at the popular impact by any personalities in the field of music during the post-independence period in India, the obvious choice is Shankar Jaikishan. Shankar, the more versatile of the two, was a prolific musician with mastery over dozens of instruments, Indian classical music and dance forms. He was primarily responsible for building Shankar Jaikishan team with dedicated lyricists, music assistants, and jumbo-sized 60-pieces orchestra, and was the lead composer. On the other hand, Jaikishan was incredibly creative and legendary composer himself. He was genius of background music and romantic tunes though he too could compose songs in other genres. While Shankar's musical jhankar propels divine dwellers to zoom in unison with ecstasy, romantic effervescence of Jaikishan music brings divine feelings on to earth. During initial years, all decisions about musical engagements were made by Shankar; but both started taking up assignments separately in the late sixties. They had sharp contrasts in personalities and physical appearances. Shankar was gym-savvy, non- drinker, and was a strict disciplinarian. On the other hand, Jaikishan was party-man and was very social.

  • Experimental Schools in Germany
    "1~1u German Educational Reconstruction No.1 Experimental Schools in Germany by MINNA SPECHT and ALFONS ROSENBERG One Shilling and Sixpence net THIS partlphlet is published by a body known as German Educational Reconstruction, or "G.E.R.". This organisation came into existence in February 1943, when a number of British persons decided to offer some German educationists in this country an opportunity of keeping abreast of educational thought and practice until the time when they would return to their own country and assist with its reconstruction. This British group discovered that a small group of Germans were already at work on the same problem. The two bodies decided to co-operate to form G.E.R., which now consists of a Board, predominantly British, and a Standing Committee, pre­ dominantly German. G.E.R. is an independent body. It has no outside affiliations and is not working under official auspices. Both the Board and the Standing Committee consist of persons of various shades of political thought .. The whole structure of G.E.R. is held together by a common purpose: to contribute to the building up of a democratic system of education in Germany. The authors of this pamphlet are alone responsible for its contents. The responsi­ bility of G.E.R. as a body is limited to sponsoring the publication.

  • Die Geheime Geistesgeschichte Der Frühen Bundesrepublik Erfreute Sich Vermittels Ulrich Raulffs Kreis Ohne Meister
    GÜNTER DAMMANN HEINRICH NELSONS AHASVER-ROMAN EIN ANEKDOTON AUS DER GESCHICHTE DER PHILOSOPHIE LEONARD NELSONS Die geheime Geistesgeschichte der frühen Bundesrepublik erfreute sich vermittels Ulrich Raulffs Kreis ohne Meister. Stefan Georges Nachleben von 2009 seinerzeit einer gewissen Beliebtheit. Da hätte auch ein weiterer Zirkel in den Blick kommen können, der die westdeutsche Nachkriegsgeschichte gleichfalls mit vielen ver- deckten Strängen durchwirkt hat: derjenige um den Göttinger Philosophen Leonard Nelson (1882–1927). Zu den Schülern und Vertrauten Nelsons gehörte etwa Willi Eichler (1896–1971), der im Londoner Exil zur SPD stieß und nach dem Tod Kurt Schumachers zwar nicht zur Nachfolge antrat, weil er als öffentlichkeitsunwirksam galt, dafür aber als entscheidender Theoretiker das Godesberger Programm der Partei auf den Weg brachte. Oder die Pädagogin Minna Specht (1879–1961), die zunächst im Nelson-Kreis Leiterin des Landerziehungsheims Walkemühle wurde und nach ihrer Rückkehr aus dem Exil für fünf Jahre die (vom Nationalsozialismus nicht ganz unverschonte) Odenwaldschule übernahm, was vor längerer Zeit zur Ver- vollständigung von ganz anders interessierten Zeitungsberichten durch die Presse ging. Oder Fritz Eberhard (1896–1982), geboren als Helmut von Rauschenplat, promovierter Ökonom, Dozent an der Walkemühle, der nach der Rückkehr aus dem britischen Exil von der SPD in den Parlamentarischen Rat delegiert wurde und an- schließend für zehn Jahre Intendant des Süddeutschen Rundfunks war.

Just two years later the UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network was established, which today com- prises more than 9500 schools worldwide. Right from the start schools in Germany were members of this network. Today Germany has more than 200 Associated Schools dedicated to delivering UNESCO’s goals.
