  • 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.

Sc.) Mars 2014 © Olga Tchernievski, 2014 i Remerciements L'achèvement d'un travail de cette envergure est pour moi la source d'un énorme sentiment de joie et de fierté. J'ai travaillé sur le thème de l'entrepreneuriat en situation d'urgence. Ce mémoire a effectivement été rédigé dans des conditions difficiles. Je n'aurai pas pu réaliser ce mémoire si je n'avais pas été soutenue par certaines personnes auxquelles je désire prendre le temps d'exprimer ma profonde gratitude. Je souhaite tout d'abord remercier mon directeur de mémoire, Sébastien Arcand, qui a toujours été présent pour m'épauler, me guider, répondre à mes questions et inquiétudes et encourager ma passion pour mon sujet de recherche. Ce dernier m'a permis d'exprimer ma créativité en composant un mémoire théorique à la fois original et multidisciplinaire. La collaboration avec monsieur Arcand fut fort enrichissante et stimulante. Ensuite, je voudrais remercier ma famille éloignée en Israël. Je la remercie chaleureusement de m'avoir soutenue dans la matérialisation de ce mémoire par l'humour insolite et l'appui moral. Puis, j'aimerais saluer mes deux meilleurs amis à Québec, Fred et Catherine, pour leur authenticité, leur simplicité et leur générosité de cœur et d'esprit. Ceux-ci m'ont encouragée à écrire un mémoire qui me ressemble et à rêver les yeux grands ouverts.

  • The Triumph and Tragedy of IBM's Business with the Third Reich
    Dealing with The Devil: The Triumph and Tragedy of IBM’s Business with the Third Reich Harry Murphy Junior Division Paper Length: 2500 Innovation and invention drive the world forward and thrive off a free market that rewards individuals and companies that can tap into supply and demand. During tragedy, especially wartime, this can take a dark turn when the triumph of invention and profit is gained from human tragedy. International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) saw warfare as an opportunity to capitalize off of both sides. As the Nazis rose to power, they needed the machinery to identify, organize, and number the Jewish population. IBM sought this as a favorable position for corporate gain and began leasing tabulating machinery to the Nazi regime. IBM’s endorsement of the Third Reich yielded capital gain at the cost of millions of lives. This advanced technology, which enabled IBM’s profit from the Holocaust, set the scene for the company’s dominance throughout the 20th-century while ultimately enabling a calculated genocide. Background In January 1933, Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany.1 Hitler implemented many racial laws that prohibited Jews from public living. Jewish businesses were plundered, and many were driven from their jobs and homes.2 Jewish companies were consumed by the German government and ran by German officials. As Hitler’s regime progressed, he looked to institutionalize a core virtue of Nazism into German society: the identification, ostracization, and extermination of the Jewish community. In his attempt to expunge Jews from Germany, in 1935, 1 Enderis, Guido. “Group Formed by Papen.” The New York Times, January 31, 1933.

  • IBM and the Holocaust
    IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 1,935, February 18, 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Twenty years ago last week, my book, IBM and the Holocaust, exposed—backed up by a tower of documentation— that IBM knowingly organized all six phases of the Holocaust: identification, exclusion, confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, and even extermination. All of this occurred under the micromanagement of IBM’s celebrated CEO, Thomas Watson, Sr., operating from his New York office on Madison Avenue, and later through European subsidiaries. In view of what IBM was able to accomplish on behalf of the Nazis prior to the era of the computer, the thought of what big tech can now do to surveil, censor, and control human lives is sobering indeed. Without IBM, there would still have been a Holocaust killing hundreds of thousands. Einsatzgruppen murder squads and their militia cohorts would still have murdered East European Jews bullet by bullet in pits, ravines, and isolated clearings in the woods. But it was IBM that helped the Third Reich create the industrial, high-speed, six million-victims Holocaust—metering ghetto residents out to trains, then carefully scheduling the moving of those trains to concentration camps for mass murder and cremation within hours, clearing the way for the next shipment of victims, day and night. Custom IBM programs controlled the census and registration processes, organized the pauperization of the Jews, and ensured that the trains ran on time. There was an IBM customer site—the Hollerith Abteilung—in almost every concentration camp, some with tabulating machines and some with card organizers.

  • America and the Holocaust: How and Why Corporate America Enabled Genocide
    America and the Holocaust: How and Why Corporate America Enabled Genocide In the 1980’s a man using the pseudonym of Buck gave the following interview regarding his forced sterilization, an event that had taken place fifty years earlier, “The call came over the dormitory just like always, and I knew that they were ready for me. There was no use fighting it. They gave me some pills that made me drowsy and then they wheeled me up to the operating room. “The doctor then spoke to Buck. “Buck, I am going to have to tie to your tubes and then maybe you’ll be able to go home.” Buck was awake during the whole process. He watched as the doctor made a small incision and sliced his sperm ducts. Mary was eleven years old when she was sterilized. Unlike Buck, she never understood what was being done to her. She was called in to meet the doctors. No adult parent or guardian was present. “Do you know what this meeting is for?” she was asked. “No, sir, I don’t.” “Well, this is the meeting that you go through when you have to have a serious operation, and it’s for your health.” That was all that she was told. “Well, if it’s for my health then I guess I’ll go through with it.” Mary didn’t learn that she was sterilized that day until five years later. 1 Buck and Mary were sterilized as part of program, a legal program with the highest government endorsements, that was ultimately intended to produce a Germanic, Nordic super-race, a race that would be perfect in every way.

Watson Sr. the CEO of International Business Machines (IBM) meet, exchange pleasantries, and lay the groundwork for producing an index of the complete writings of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Winter 4). Busa and Watson’s meeting marks the genesis of the field since the theologian was able to acquire the material, technical, and financial support from the technocrat to engage in his scholarly endeavour, developing a linguistic corpus using computing technologies. This illustrious digitization project of sorting and indexing 11 million words of medieval Latin in the works of St. Thomas Aquinas produced a touchstone for humanities computing, the Index Thomisticus (Hockey 4). Busa, along with IBM technicians, developed machine-readable concordances and in the process, built a bibliography that was searchable through a telephonic coupler. Busa’s pioneering work, “Exploring the Concept of Presence According to Thomas Aquinas” (83), was accomplished by repurposing business machines developed primarily for record-keeping to generate automated concordances that have been widely celebrated as the genesis of the field of humanities computing, later christened digital humanities. In this paper, I will be studying how the cultural memory of Fr.
