  • Lavoce: Our Voice All and Winter Made Their Marks on More Than Fa Few Instruments This Year
    OF CLAIRE GIVENS VIOLINS, INC. SPRING 1999 LaVoce: our voice all and winter made their marks on more than Fa few instruments this year. Fluctuating climat- ic conditions in the fall followed by the sudden onslaught of winter and a stint of exceedingly dry air brought many customers to our shop to have a wide variety of concerns addressed, from troublesome e- strings to serious cracks. Caring for string instruments requires attention and dedication on the part of play- ers.Taking preventative measures and paying atten- tion to any changes in your instrument’s sound are crucial (poor sound quality can indicate open bouts and cracks).The two key climatic threats to string instruments are temperature and humidity. Keep humidity levels at 50% (35% at the least) in the room in which your instrument is regularly stored and played. If you use ‘Dampits,’check and dampen them regularly. Do not leave instruments near heating vents, radiators or in direct sunlight.Allow instru- ments to adjust gradually to temperature changes when transported from one location to another.

  • Habermann Family Story
    Habermann Family Story Submitted by Ruth Habermann, Givatayim and Eyal Habermann, Shoham The Habermann family were watchmakers for generations and had three jewelry stores - in Drohobycz, Boryslaw and Truskawiec. The Habermanns were one of the well-to-do the families in town. The Germans occupied Drohobycz in the middle of September 1939. Some Ukrainians informed the Germans on the whereabouts of Jonah Habermann. The house was raided by the Germans who did much property damage, but Jonah was in hiding and was not found. Two years later, following the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviets occupied Drohobycz. All private property was immediately nationalized under Article 11 (prohibition to hold private property). Wealthy families could no longer live in big cities. Judith and Jonah Habermann were forced to live outside of Drohobycz and moved to Truskawiec. Alex Habermann, who was 12 years old, stayed with his maternal grandparents Joseph and Ethel Hershmann in Drohobycz. Alex remembered a Jew who fled from Kraków saying: "When will the Germans came to free us from these Bolsheviks". The Habermann family received a deportation order for Siberia for June 27th, 1941. They were preparing for the journey by hiding assets and packing belongings. On June 22nd, 1941, 5 days before the planned deportation, the Germans breaking the non-aggression pact, invaded the area that was under Russian rule. Judith and Jonah Habermann returned to Drohobycz. After about a week the Germans entered Drohobycz. Following the German invasion, a pogrom carried out by the Ukrainians took place. 900 Jews were murdered. The pogrom was followed by humiliations and degrading jobs such as cleaning the streets, as well as looting and killing by the Ukrainians for 6 months.

  • April 15, 2018 Dear Cornell Class of '55, I Can't Imagine My Experience
    April 15, 2018 Dear Cornell Class of ‘55, I can’t imagine my experience at Cornell being complete without studying abroad for Psychology of the Holocaust. For a few weeks, the museums and memorials of Vienna, Prague, Krakow, and Budapest were my classroom, and the things I learned go beyond school. We engaged with heavy content, that which makes you come face to face with the worst of humanity. Whether it was a trip to perhaps the most infamous concentration camp, Auschwitz, or to the forgotten town of Lidice, everything we encountered was deeply humbling. Reading about the suffering of Holocaust victims is incomparable to walking where they walked. And yet, there were many times I was hopeful; when I was reminded, by the stories of rescuers who risked their lives to save others, of our species’ infinite capacity for good. It was the actions of these individuals—among them Carl Lutz, Raoul Wallenberg, Irena Sendler—that have once again sparked my interest in diplomacy and international humanitarian work. I am grateful to have been able to take this abroad course as a sophomore, because I will have more time to explore the avenues of knowledge that were just opened to me. Regardless of my eventual career and where I end up, I am certain that I will be thinking and learning new things in retrospect about this trip for the rest of my life. On few occasions have I been so busy. There was so much to do and see that it seemed we were constantly up and moving.

  • David Moritz Michael (1751–1827) 80580-2 Parthien 10-14 Pacific Classical Winds
    DAVID MORITZ MICHAEL (1751–1827) 80580-2 PARTHIEN 10-14 PACIFIC CLASSICAL WINDS David Moritz Michael’s woodwind Parthien are found only in the music collections of the early American Moravian settlements—Bethlehem, Lititz, and Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and Salem, North Carolina. While Michael (1751–1827) lived only twenty of his seventy-six years in America (from his 44th to 64th year of age), he was not known as a composer in Europe, and none of his music found its way to the archives of the European Moravian churches. Parthien 10-14 are found only in the collections of the Philharmonic Society of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and the Lititz, Pennsylvania, Collegium Musicum—thus this is not only “American” music, but specifically Pennsylvania music. David Moritz Michael wrote fourteen Parthien for combinations of clarinets, horns, and bassoons (with the occasional flute or trumpet). Exact dates for these compositions have not been established. These works, well within the tradition of the divertimento or serenade of the eighteenth century, were performed in concerts in Bethlehem and Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and in informal serenades. Each consists of three to five movements with formal structures like those of the early classical symphonies, with movements generally longer than those of the two Water Journey suites. In addition to these Parthien, he wrote two Water Journey suites, designed to be used during the Whitmonday holiday celebrations in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. While more serious in character than either of the Water Journey suites, the Parthien retain the light-hearted exuberance, even playful whimsy, of the eighteenth-century divertimento—including, nevertheless, some passages very reminiscent of Haydn’s Sturm und Drang writing.

  • TEACHING NIGHT in the SECONDARY CLASSROOM By
    TEACHING NIGHT IN THE SECONDARY CLASSROOM by Dyanne K. Loput A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida August 2010 Copyright by Dyanne K. Loput 2010 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author wishes to express her sincere thanks to Dr. Alan L. Berger for his guidance, encouragement, patience, expertise, and profound brilliance throughout the writing of this manuscript. The author is also grateful to Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff for offering the Holocaust Institute, a program that provides educators with a springboard for the knowledge and resources they need to teach Holocaust literature effectively. Additionally, Dr. Barclay Barrios’s and Professor Papatya Bucak’s guidance and inspiration in teaching analytical and creative writing are very much appreciated. iv ABSTRACT Author: Dyanne K. Loput Title: Teaching Night in the Secondary Classroom Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Alan L. Berger Degree: Master of Arts in Teaching English Year: 2010 As a secondary-level educator of literature and writing, I have observed the fundamental need for a sensitive, well-developed curriculum in the art of teaching Eliezer Wiesel’s Night to high school students. This thesis contextualizes Wiesel’s memoir by examining the history of Jewish persecution, the Holocaust itself, and Wiesel’s background. Educational strategies and activities that use both literary analysis and creative writing to engender a comprehensive and thorough realization of the history as expressed through the literature are elucidated. Additionally, several ways in which teachers may lead students to examine the effects, implications, and ramifications of Wiesel’s legacy are supplied.

  • 2021 Essay Pamphlet
    “Last, but by no means least, courage - moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle - the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your conscience on the other.” Douglas MacArthur The Essay Topic: Describe a person who acted with moral courage. What can be learned from their actions and how do the lessons relate to you? During the Holocaust, it is estimated that eleven million people were killed by the Nazis and their collaborators. Fortunately, there were many who survived. Many survivors were rescued by “ordinary” people who took extraordinary risks to become an ally. Moral courage is the ability to take a strong stand on a specific issue based on one’s personal beliefs or convictions and to defend it regardless of danger or threats to personal safety. Rescuers during the Holocaust, such as Miep Gies, Carl Lutz, Vladka Mead, Oskar Schindler, Chiune Sugihara, and Raoul Wallenberg, exemplify both courage and moral courage. They displayed courage in their ability to face difficulty, danger, and/or pain without fear; they exhibited moral courage when they acted on their own values and beliefs to spare the lives of others at the risk of jeopardizing their own. Their actions serve as a model of personal triumph over adversity and inspire others to act accordingly. Step 1: Contextual Research: learn more about the history of the Holocaust, and investigate at least two of the stories of the rescuers mentioned above to inspire you to research and write your own essay on moral courage.
