Günter Bischof “Busy with Refugee Work” Joseph Buttinger, Muriel Gardiner, and the Saving of Austrian Refugees, 1940–1941
Aus: Zeithistoriker – Archivar – Aufklärer. Festschrift für Winfried R. Garscha, hrsg. v. Claudia Kuretsidis- Haider und Christine Schindler im Auftrag des Dokumentationsarchivs des österreichischen Widerstandes und der Zentralen österreichischen Foschungsstelle Nachkriegsjustiz, Wien 2017 115 Günter Bischof “Busy with Refugee Work” Joseph Buttinger, Muriel Gardiner, and the Saving of Austrian Refugees, 1940–1941 At a time when Austria is experiencing political turbulences over the current “refugee crisis” of Syrian, Near Eastern and African asylum seekers, looking for a safe haven in Europe from the political turmoil in their regions, it might be worthwhile remembering that there were times in the twentieth century when Austrian refugees survived in similarly tumultuous situations with sup- port from the “kindness of strangers.” Joseph Buttinger (1906–1992) and his wealthy American wife Muriel Gardiner (1901–1965) personally helped hun- dreds of Austrian Socialists and Jews (often both) persecuted by the Dollfuss- Schuschnigg regimes and the Nazis to get out of Austria – and later Europe – to save their lives. They were generous in helping to provide the necessary immi- gration papers and funds for refugees to start a new life in the United States. After the end of World War II they supported a hundred or so families with CARE packages over several years. The Buttingers became shining examples of professional and humanitarian refugee workers. Their empathetic “refugee work” stands as a paragon of humanitarian aid for our days as well. Joseph Buttinger was born in Bavaria in 1906 and grew up in great poverty in Upper Austria. His father worked in various odd jobs and as a miner and fought on the Dolomite front in World War I; he died after being wounded. -

Thomas Davis managed five plantations in Mississippi, including two inherited by his wife, and spent much of his time traveling. Annie Davis spent most of her time at his family home in Stateburg, SC. Shortly after Westmoreland Davis’ birth, his father, brother and sister died in quick succession. He and his mother moved to Richmond, VA to live with her uncle Richard Morriss (ca. 1822-1867). After the end of the Civil War the Davis’s were reduced to penury by the mismanagement of their plantations and legal obstacles to monies from bonds purchased by her father, Christopher Staats Morriss (1797-1850). Davis entered Virginia Military Institute as a scholarship student in 1873 at the age of 14. -

Comparative Analysis of Successful Third Parties Sean Panzer a Thesis
Comparative Analysis of Successful Third Parties Sean Panzer A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies University of Washington 2013 Committee: Charles Williams Michael Allen Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Interdisciplinary Arts and Science ©Copyright 2013 Sean Panzer University of Washington Abstract Comparative Analysis of Successful Third Parties Sean Panzer Assistant Professor Dr. Charles Williams Interdisciplinary Arts and Science This thesis explores how the Republican Party (US) and the Labour Party (UK) were successful in becoming the rare examples of third parties that displaced a major party to become one of the major parties in a two-party system. In exploring this question the thesis first examines the political science ‘rules of the game’ that make it extremely difficult for third parties, followed by a historical/sociological comparative analysis of case studies of the Republican and Labour Parties to determine if there are similarities in their rise to power. The comparative analysis shows that under extreme conditions, a fundamental sociological and demographic change may occur which supports the addressing of issues that the major parties will be unable to adequately incorporate for fear of upsetting their core base supporters. It is under this context that a third party could ultimately be successful in rising to major party status. i Table of Contents Introduction …………………………………………………………………..…….... 1 Chapter I: Political Science Perspectives of Limitations on Third Parties ....….…… 7 Chapter II: Republican Party ……….……………………………………..……….… 30 Chapter III: Labour Party (UK) …………………………………………...…………. 63 Chapter IV: Conclusion …………………………………………………..…..………. 95 Bibliography …………………………………………………………………………. 102 1 Introduction As electoral results continued to roll in for the contentious 2000 presidential election, one of the presidential candidates took the opportunity to reflect upon the close nature of the results. -
