Edy 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 School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Chapel Hill 2012 Approved by: Jean Folkerts W. Fitzhugh Brundage Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Frank E. Fee, Jr. Barbara Friedman ©2012 Carolyn Martindale Edy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract CAROLYN M. EDY: Conditions of Acceptance: The United States Military, the Press, and the “Woman War Correspondent,” 1846-1945 (Under the direction of Jean Folkerts) This dissertation chronicles the history of American women who worked as war correspondents through the end of World War II, demonstrating the ways the military, the press, and women themselves constructed categories for war reporting that promoted and prevented women’s access to war: the “war correspondent,” who covered war-related news, and the “woman war correspondent,” who covered the woman’s angle of war. As the first study to examine these concepts, from their emergence in the press through their use in military directives, this dissertation relies upon a variety of sources to consider the roles and influences, not only of the women who worked as war correspondents but of the individuals and institutions surrounding their work. Nineteenth and early 20th century newspapers continually featured the woman war correspondent—often as the first or only of her kind, even as they wrote about more than sixty such women by 1914.

Helfer Michael G. Levine This dissertation investigates the conflict between the powerful emancipatory image of the New Woman as represented in the illustrated magazines of the Weimar Republic and the translation of this image into a lifestyle acted out by women during this era. I argue that while female journalists promote the image of the New Woman in illustrated magazines as a liberating opening onto self-determination and self- management, this very image is simultaneously and paradoxically oppressive. For women to shake off the inheritance of a patriarchal past, they must learn to adjust to a new identity, one that is still to a large extent influenced by and in the service of men. The ideal beauty image designed by female journalists as a framework for emancipation in actuality turned into an oppressive normalization in professional and social markets in which traditional rules no longer obtained.

  • 3 Der Ullstein-Verlag Während Des Nationalsozialismus (1933–1945)
    3 Der Ullstein-Verlag während des Nationalsozialismus (1933–1945) 3.1 1933: Die Gleichschaltung des Unternehmens Hermann Ullstein hatte noch im New Yorker Exil deutliche Erinnerungen an die Zeit direkt nach der Machtergreifung: „Am nächsten Tag, dem 31. Januar 1933, ist die Stimmung im Verlag an der Kochstraße sehr angespannt. Geregelte Ar- beit scheint unmöglich. Die Leute stehen in den Korridoren herum, reden mit- einander, streiten sich. Die Pessimisten sagen das Ende des Verlags voraus. Die Optimisten betrachten Hitlers Sieg als ein Zwischenspiel vor seinem nahen Sturz.“1 An diesem Dienstag verweigerte man Prof. Ludwig Stein, dem diploma- tischen Berichterstatter der Vossischen Zeitung, und seinem Kollegen Max Rei- ner erstmals den Zutritt zur Reichskanzlei.2 Einer bloßen Enteignung des Ullstein-Imperiums standen dessen weltwei- tes Renommee und sein herausragender wirtschaftlicher Wert entgegen. Die NS- DAP, deren parteieigene Presse zum Stichtag der Machtergreifung lediglich 2,5 % der deutschen Zeitungsauflagen ausmachte, setzte eher auf eine Erhö- hung des Drucks auf Ullstein, um das Unternehmen nachhaltig zu schwächen und so eine „Arisierung“ zu erleichtern.3 Am 4. Februar 1933 wurde die „Verordnung des Reichspräsidenten zum Schutz des deutschen Volkes“ in Kraft gesetzt; vor allem deren Paragraphen 7 und 9 – auch bekannt als „Schubladenverordnungen“–gaben den Behörden Möglichkeiten zur Unterdrückung von Presseunternehmen.4 Zahlreiche Verbote gegen Publikationen der KPD und der SPD waren die Folge. Die Maßnahme des neuen Kabinetts sollte zweifelsohne den Wahlkampf der Opposition für den Ur- nengang am 5. März behindern. Zu den quasi über Nacht verbotenen Zeitungen gehörte auch Ullsteins Tem- po: Zwischen Freitag, dem 17. Februar, und Freitag, dem 24.

BUSH* Jacob Robinson (1889–1977) was one of the half dozen leading le- gal intellectuals associated with the Nuremberg trials. He was also argu- ably the only scholar-activist who was involved in almost every interna- tional criminal law and human rights battle in the two decades before and after 1945. So there is good reason for a Nuremberg symposium to include a look at his remarkable career in international law and human rights. This essay will attempt to offer that, after a prefatory word about the recent and curious turn in Nuremberg scholarship to biography, in- cluding of Robinson.

Sorel briefly sketches the paths by which numerous women came to the profession, then focuses attention on about two dozen women and follows them through the course of the war. Those featured include: Dorothy Thompson, Sigrid Schultz, Janet Flanner, Helen Kirkpatrick, Josephine Herbst, Martha Gellhorn, Eleanor Packard, Frances Davis, Virgina Cowles, Margaret Bourke-White, Sonia Tomara, Betty Wason, Mary Welsh, Tania Long, Lael Tucker, Shelley Smith Mydans, Annalee Whitmore Jacoby, Ruth Cowan, Lee Miller, Virginia Irwin, Lee Carson, Dickey Chappelle, Iris Carpenter, Majorie "Dot" Avery, and Catherine Coyne. These women reported for major dailies and periodicals like The New York Herald Tribune, The London Times, Life, and the wire services as well as for specialized women's publications. The threads of their lives and careers are interwoven with the major events of the war in fascinating detail.

Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.

This duty corresponds to our fundamental rights as citizens and as persons to receive and give respect to each other in view of our possession of such rights.” Such duty, outlined by contemporary philosopher Alan S. Rosenbaum, was no better exemplified than in the case of Nazi war criminals in the aftermath of World War II. Even before the floundering Axis powers of Germany and Japan declared their respective official surrenders in 1945, the leaders of the Allies prepared possible courses of action for the surviving criminals in the inevitable collapse of the Nazi regime. Since the beginning of the war in 1939, the Nazi regime in Germany implemented a policy of waging a war so barbaric in its execution that the total numbers of casualties rivaled whole populations of countries.

  • Introduction Norman J.W
    Introduction Norman J.W. Goda E The examination of legal proceedings related to Nazi Germany’s war and the Holocaust has expanded signifi cantly in the past two decades. It was not always so. Though the Trial of the Major War Criminals at Nuremberg in 1945–1946 generated signifi cant scholarly literature, most of it, at least in the trial’s immediate aftermath, concerned legal scholars’ judgments of the trial’s effi cacy from a strictly legalistic perspective. Was the four-power trial based on ex post facto law and thus problematic for that reason, or did it provide the best possible due process to the defendants under the circumstances?1 Cold War political wrangl ing over the subsequent Allied trials in the western German occupation zones as well as the sentences that they pronounced generated a discourse that was far more critical of the tri- als than laudatory.2 Historians, meanwhile, used the records assembled at Nuremberg as an entrée into other captured German records as they wrote initial studies of the Third Reich, these focusing mainly on foreign policy and wartime strategy, though also to some degree on the Final Solution to the Jewish Question.3 But they did not historicize the trial, nor any of subsequent trials, as such. Studies that analyzed the postwar proceedings in and of themselves from a historical perspective developed only three de- cades after Nuremberg, and they focused mainly on the origins of the initial, groundbreaking trial.4 Matters changed in the 1990s for a number of reasons. The fi rst was late- and post-Cold War interest among historians of Germany, and of other nations too, in Vergangenheitsbewältigung—the political, social, and intellectual attempt to confront, or to sidestep, the criminal wartime past.
