The Karsch & Fried Families Initial Research Prepared for Blair Adam Karsch By Michael Goldstein July 15, 2008 The Karsch Family From the Ukraine to America Kherson Gubernia, America and the Karsch Family The Karsch family ancestral origins are from the Kherson Gubernia and the towns of Kherson and Odessa. These locations are in today’s Ukraine. Little is known of the family before its arrival in the USA other than that the earliest identified ancestor was Zelig Karsch who appears to have lived somewhere in this area. Since records are kept by town no further European research is being undertaken until we are reasonably certain of the town of origin. Kherson Gubernia was an administrative-territorial unit in Russian-ruled Southern Ukraine between the Dnieper and Dniester Rivers. One of the three gubernias created after New Russia gubernia was abolished in 1802, it was called Mykolaiv gubernia until 1803, when Kherson became the new capital. From 1809 the gubernia had five counties: Kherson, Oleksandriia, Olviopil, Tyraspil, and Yelysavethrad. Odesa County was added in 1825. Odesa and their vicinity were governed separately: Odesa by a gradonachalnik answerable directly to the tsar and (from 1822) the governor-general of New Russia and Bessarabia, and Mykolaiv by a military governor. The gubernia had a population of about 1,330,000 in 1863, 2,027,000 in 1885, 2,733,600 in 1897, and 3,744,600 in 1914. In the 1850s Jews consisted 6 to 7 percent and in 1914, 12 percent. In- migration accounted for much of the population growth; e.g. in 1897, 46 percent of the population was born outside of the gubernia. The gubernia's economy was predominantly agricultural. Industry, consisting primarily of flour milling, distilling, metalworking industry, iron mining, beet- sugar processing, and brick industry, was underdeveloped. -- Source: Ivan Myhul, Roman Senkus abridged from The Encyclopedia of Ukraine, vol. 2 (1989). And in America: Harry Karsch's Naturalization Index Card 1 1940 Voter Registration 1 Charles Karsch's World War I Registration You will see names and towns and even towns spelled differently . Our ancestors did not “live” in English and thus adopted spelling variants in North America. Borders changed and towns changed names so that beyond spelling variations there may be different countries listed as their location. And thus a Karsch may be a Karsh and a Fried a Freed. Zelig Karsch and his Descendants Generation 1 1. Zelig Karsch-1. He was born in Kherson, Ukraine. Notes for Zelig Karsch: General Notes: The Karsch family came from Kherson Gubernia and the towns of Kherson and Odessa. Zelig is the earliest ancestor traced. Kherson Gubernia (province), is an administrative-territorial unit in Russian-ruled Southern Ukraine between the Dnieper River and Dniester River. Kherson City became the new capital. From 1809 the gubernia had five counties and Odesa County was added in 1825. The citiy of Odesa (in 1803-61) and vicinity was governed separately by a gradonachalnik answerable directly to the tsar. The gubernia had a population of about 1,330,000 in 1863, 2,027,000 in 1885, 2,733,600 in 1897, and 3,744,600 in 1914. In the 1850s Jews consisted 6 to 7 percent and in 1914, 12 percent. In- migration accounted for much of the population growth; e.g. in 1897, 46 percent of the population was born outside of the gubernia. The gubernia's economy was predominantly agricultural. Industry, consisting primarily of flour milling, distilling, metalworking industry, iron mining, beet-sugar processing, and brick industry, was underdeveloped. Under Soviet rule, in 1920 the Kherson gubernia's territory was divided to form the new Odesa gubernia.

    Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts

    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

On view through September 30, the exhibition highlights a number of classics, as well as lesser-known films by directors who deserve wider recognition. MGM's films are distinguished by a high artistic level, with a consistent polish and technical virtuosity unseen anywhere, and by a roster of the most famous stars in the world -- Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Judy Garland, Greta Garbo, and Spencer Tracy. MGM also had under contract some of Hollywood's most talented directors, including Clarence Brown, George Cukor, Vincente Minnelli, and King Vidor, as well as outstanding cinematographers, production designers, costume designers, and editors. Exhibition highlights include Erich von Stroheim's Greed (1925), Victor Fleming's Gone Hith the Hind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939), Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise (1991).

    Bamcinématek Presents the Complete Vincente Minnelli, the First

    BAMcinématek presents The Complete Vincente Minnelli, the first full New York retrospective of the Hollywood master in more than 20 years, Sep 23—Nov 2 (32 days, 35 films) 35mm prints. The Wall Street Journal is the BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas sponsor. Brooklyn, NY/Aug 30, 2011— Beginning September 23 and continuing through November 2, BAMcinématek presents The Complete Vincente Minnelli, the first full New York retrospective of the Hollywood master in more than two decades. This 35-film series pays homage to one of the all-time great Hollywood directors, with a career that included successful forays into the musical (which earned him his reputation at MGM), subversive and deeply personal melodramas and sensitive biopics, and airy comedies. The retrospective, presented in conjunction with the Locarno International Film Festival, offers a chance to reevaluate the Hollywood giant’s status as an auteur, truly one of cinema’s greatest artists. All films in The Complete Vincente Minnelli will be projected in 35mm, except for one which will be shown in 16mm. Popularly associated with meticulously decorated, nostalgic musicals like Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), An American in Paris (1951), The Band Wagon (1953), and the beloved Gigi (which swept the 1959 Oscars, winning in all nine categories that it was nominated including Best Picture and Best Director), Minnelli also proved to be a master of multiple genres over his 34-year directing career, including several darker dramas that were under- appreciated by his contemporaries. Minnelli was as poetically cynical as Billy Wilder in the Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner vehicle The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and its follow-up, Two Weeks in Another Town (1960).

    Dancing Dreams: Performing American Identities in Postwar Hollywood Musicals, 1944-1958 Pamella R. Lach A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Peter G. Filene John F. Kasson Robert C. Allen Jerma Jackson William Ferris ©2007 Pamella R. Lach ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Pamella R. Lach Dancing Dreams: Performing American Identities in Postwar Hollywood Musicals, 1944-1958 (Under the direction of Peter G. Filene) With the pressures of the dawning Cold War, postwar Americans struggled to find a balance between conformity and authentic individualism. Although musical motion pictures appeared conservative, seemingly touting traditional gender roles and championing American democratic values, song-and-dance numbers (spectacles) actually functioned as sites of release for filmmakers, actors, and moviegoers. Spectacles, which film censors and red- baiting politicians considered little more than harmless entertainment and indirect forms of expression, were the least regulated aspects of musicals. These scenes provided relatively safe spaces for actors to play with and defy, but also reify, social expectations. Spectacles were also sites of resistance for performers, who relied on their voices and bodies— sometimes at odds with each other—to reclaim power that was denied them either by social strictures or an oppressive studio system. Dancing Dreams is a series of case studies about the role of spectacle—literal dances but also spectacles of discourse, nostalgia, stardom, and race—in inspiring Americans to find forms of individual self-expression with the potential to challenge prevailing norms.
