One of the memorable spots we visited was Kosow Lacki, about six miles southeast ofTreblinka and close to Maikinia, Nur. Ciechanowiec, Brok, Zaromb, Andrzejewo, and other towns whose names ring familiar to us. Before World War JJ, Kosow Lacki was home to Jews with names like Czerwonagura, Ser, Kafka, and Lewin. Many residents ofthis shtetl were members ofour family. There we discovered an old mill with an attached stmcture now serving as a warehouse. This delapidated building was once owned by the Ser family who donated it to the community as a synagogue. Amidst the interior rubble we were able to discern the bima and the location where the Holy Ark had stood. Larry Rothberg (Czerwonagura) (4416,Pl.49) has obtained a copy ofa 75 page memorial book to Kosow Lacki. It was published by the Holocaust Center ofNorthern California, San Francisco in 1992. Several articles were written decades earlier and translated for this volume by Oscar Berland. He performed a real mitzvah. The following is an excerpt from Kosow Lacki. MY SHTETLE KOSOW! There are reports that my shtetle is undamaged, but there are no longer any Jews there. Where does one find words to express the bitter, horrible feeling on hearing these terrible things that the devil thought up for this century? It tears the heart with ache and pain!

A Crisanto Viejo mi querido viejo ahora ya caminas lento… Si el centro es realmente «el desplazamiento de la cuestión», es porque siempre se le ha dado un sobrenombre al innombrable pozo sin fondo del que él mismo era el signo; signo del agujero que el libro ha pretendido colmar. El centro era el nombre de un agujero; y el nombre del hombre, como el de Dios, expresa la fuerza de lo que se ha erigido para realizar ahí obra en forma de libro. El volumen, el rollo de pergamino, tenían que introducirse en el agujero peligroso, penetrar furtivamente en la vivienda amenazadora, mediante un movimiento animal, vivo, silencioso, liso, brillante, deslizante, a la manera de una serpiente o de un pez.

Columbus was on his fourth and ulti- mately fruitless final voyage, looking for a trading route to China and India. He incorrectly thought that he had entered the Straits of Molucca, Indonesia, when he arrived in the channel between the Bay islands and the Honduran mainland. Although he had gained much prestige, wealth, and fame during his previous three voyages of dis- covery in the New World of the Caribbean starting ten years earlier, Columbus’s star was now on the wane and at 51 years of age, he was a much changed and different person from the arrogant explorer of 1492.

  • The Ser-Charlap Family Newsletter
    l 1 .I THE SER-CHARLAP FAMILY NEWSLETTER Vol. 9, No. 2 Tammuz 5758; July 1998 ZAREBY KOSCIELNIE IN 1938 T71is anicle, dated February 1, 1938 was adapted from the files of the Zaromher Israel Aid Society, Records 1926-1965 held by the l1VO Institute, l1VO File #(RG965). Zareby Kosciebiie 's Jewish population was dose knit and a great many were members of various branches of the Ser-Charlap family. After the death of the Polish leader Joseph Pilsudski, the situation of the Jewish population of Poland deteriorated rapidly. The most visible form of anti-Semitism was an economic boycott applied by large sections of the public against Jewish enterprise. This boycott had been approved by the courts, dignitaries of the Catholic Church, and the government. The head of the Catholic Church, Cardinal Hlond, declared in 1936, "One does well to prefer his own kind in commercial dealings and to avoid Jewish stores and Jewish stalls in the market." The government expressed the purposes of the boycott as not only to assist "real" Poles to compete in petty commerce, but to force Polish Jews to emigrate. By 1937, the Polish Union of Physicians adopted an "Aryan" resolution reducing the number of Jews in their profession with the aim of excluding them entirely. A conglomerate of Polish professional unions stated, "A Pole supports a Pole. Depriving the Jews of earning money means they will be forced to leave Poland. This is the only radical solution of the Jewish question. With the utmost forcefulness and with the deepest conviction of the necessity of self-defense, we urge all Christians not to sell to Jews any land or houses, nor to buy from Jewish stores, nor to employ Jewish lawyers, physicians, engineers, architects, artists, or any other professional men." The universities were centers of anti-Semitism and limited the dwindling number of Jewish students to so-called "ghetto benches" (standing room at the rear of lecture halls).

    African & African American Studies Theodore Ransaw University of Nevada, Las Vegas Michael Adams & Linda Smith Texas Southern University Changing the Face of Public Affairs: A Look at How Social Networking is Impacting the Business of the Public Sector First, computers, then internet, and now social networking, has largely changed the way the public sector operates. Web 2.0, a social networking vehicle, can be defined as, according to Tim O’Reilly (2006), ?the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them?. Clearly it is a definite evolution of the World Wide Web, which has brought into inclusion many new innovative services such as social networking, video sharing, wikis, blogs and folksonomies, amongst others. Evidence of this phenomenon had its inception in the public sector in academia; however it has been quickly adapted as a tool by political campaigns, and other public entities. This research seeks to unmask the development and implementation of social networking in the public sector by empirically measuring growth and usage while focusing on innovative ways to equip administrators to employ beneficial aspects of social networking. Stephen Brown Azusa Pacific University African American Males: Expectations, Retention & Graduation The challenges the African American male encounters when entering college can be overwhelming and challenging. Even if he is academically prepared to meet the rigors of higher education, he is still likely to encounter roadblocks to overcoming incongruencies.

SADLER GENERAL PANCHO VILLA'S attack on the small New Mexico border town of Columbus during the predawn hours of March 9, 1916, holds a particular fascination for historians of the Mexican Revolution. These writers, both Mexican and American, have con­ tinued to dispute not only the details of Villa's raid, but, more im­ portantly, its significance. Yet none of the numerous books and articles dealing with the raid has definitively answered the central question: Why did Villa raid Columbus? It is precisely because Villa's motivation for the raid remains unclear that historians have avidly sought additional documentation to lay this point to rest once and for all. The existence, therefore, of a mass of documents found in the saddlebags of a dead Villista officer at Columbus has tantalized scholars for more than half a century.

LERNER SIGAL UnwsTsidüd Nacional ÁutouowxL de Adcxico INTRODUCCIÓN ESTE ARTÍCULO TRATA EL FENÓMENO del espionaje que se dio en plena revolución mexicana en la frontera mexicano- norteamericana. Cabe advertir que el tema del "espionaje mexicano" —en esa coyuntura— no ha sido estudiado hasta ahora por ningún historiador; sí se conoce en los espionajes europeo y estadounidense sobre México, pero no el realiza• do entre mexicanos. Este artículo, por ende, es un primer intento de acercarse a este tema, dando a conocer quiénes realizaron ese espionaje y su forma de operación. Nos cen• traremos en los cuerpos y personas que espiaban para la fac• ción villista entre 1914-1915. Antes de entrar en materia quisiera señalar que el espio• naje entre 1914-1915 se dio en "un corredor fronterizo", que abarcaba tres zonas de Estados Unidos y México. Estas tres franjas estaban estructuralmente unidas por su geogra• fía, su comercio y sus pobladores, y en la coyuntura álgida de 1914-1915, por las actividades revolucionarias y el espio• naje que ahí se llevaba a cabo. A continuación, señalaremos estas tres franjas. 7) Sonora y sus estados vecinos limítrofes estadouniden• ses, California (en Los Angeles, San Diego, v.gr.) y Arizona (en ciudades como Tucson, Nogales, Douglas, etcétera).
