Published by the author, 1895. [Öffentl. Bibliothek zu Wiesbaden, Sig. Hg. 5606] Translated by Isabel Busch M. A., Bonn, 2018 Translator´s Note: Johanna Loewenherz employs a complicated style of writing. The translator of this work tried to stay true to Loewenherz´ style as much as possible. Wherever it was convenient, an attempt was made to make her sentences easier to understand. However, sometimes the translator couldn´t make out Loewenherz´ sense even in the original German text, for instance because of mistakes made by Loewenherz herself. Loewenherz herself is not always consistent in her text; for example when using both the singular and plural forms of a noun or pronoun in the same sentence. The translator of this work further took the liberty of using the singular and plural forms of “man” and “woman” rather randomly, whenever Loewenherz makes generalising remarks on both sexes. Seeing that Loewenherz uses a lot of puns in the original text, the translator of this work explains these in the footnotes. It is to be noted that whenever Loewenherz quotes a person or from another text, the translator of this work either uses already existing translations (e.g. from Goethe´s Faust) or translated them herself. In the former case the sources of these quotes are named in footnotes. The other translations are not specifically marked. 3 A Visit to the Night Caféi What is it that drives a man to the harlot?—How can he bring himself to touch such a woman?— Allow me, Gentlemen, the wholehearted sincerity which convenience usually does not forgive a woman.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2004 Supervisor: Katherine Arens This dissertation tests Benedict Anderson’s thesis about the coherence of imagined communities by tracing how Galicia, as the heart of a Polish culture in the nineteenth century that would never be an independent nation state, emerged as an historical, cultural touchstone with present day significance for the people of Europe. After the three Partitions and Poland’s complete disappearance from political maps of Europe, substitute images of Poland were sought that could replace its lost kingdom with alternate forms of national identity grounded in culture and tradition rather than in politics. Not the hereditary dynasty, not Prussia or Russia, but Galicia emerged as the imagined and representative center of a Polish culture without a state. This dissertation juxtaposes political realities with canonical literary texts that provide images of a cultural community among ethnic Germans and Poles sharing the border of Europe.

    Aufbruch Zur Weltstadt Julius Rodenberg Und Sein Buch „Wiener Sommertage“ (1875) ∗

    Aufbruch zur Weltstadt Julius Rodenberg und sein Buch „Wiener Sommertage“ (1875) ∗ Peter Payer Das im Jahr 1875 erschienene Buch „Wiener Sommertage“ ist ein bemerkens- wertes Zeugnis Wiener Stadtgeschichte. Geschrieben von dem Berliner Julius Rodenberg, also mit dem Blick von „außen“, dokumentiert es die Bemühungen Wiens, zur „Weltstadt“ aufzusteigen und seine Position unter den führenden eu- ropäischen Großstädten zu behaupten. Stilistisch gekonnt und mit feiner Ironie, nähert sich Rodenberg dem Wesen der Stadt, erforscht er voll Neugier deren Be- wohner, Gebäude, Straßen und Plätze. „Mein lieber Leser, du mußt bedenken, daß ich ein Fremder in Wien bin und daher ein Recht habe mich über alles Mög- liche zu wundern“ 1, stellt er gleich zu Beginn klar. Es ist ein wertschätzendes, lebensfrohes Buch, geschrieben mit der überbordenden Euphorie des beginnen- den Weltausstellungsjahres 1873, als nur wenige die schon kurze Zeit später hereinbrechende Krise ahnten. Die fundamentalen ökonomischen, sozialen und kulturellen Transformationen, denen Wien im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts ausgesetzt war, bilden dann auch die Folie, vor der die facettenreichen Schilde- rungen Rodenbergs ihre Wirksamkeit entfalten. Julius Rodenberg: Publizist zwischen Tradition und Moderne Der Name verweist auf den Ort seiner Herkunft: In der niedersächsischen Klein- stadt Rodenberg kam am 26. Juni 1831 Julius Levy zur Welt, der Jahrzehnte spä- ter unter dem Namen Julius Rodenberg weit über die Grenzen seines Heimator- tes hinaus bekannt werden sollte. 2 Sein Vater, der jüdische Kaufmann Simon Gumpert Levy, und seine Mutter Amalie waren wohlhabende Bürger der Stadt. Aufgeklärt-liberal und literarisch interessiert, ließen sie Julius, das älteste von sechs Kindern, zunächst von Hauslehrern unterrichten, ehe er höhere Schulen im nahe gelegenen Hannover und in Rinteln besuchte.

    The Parish Rosseel Collection

    THE PARISH-ROSSEEL COLLECTION Mss. Coll. No. 5 38 linear ft. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE David Parish (1778-1826) arrived in America in late 1805. The owner of a successful banking and commission house in Antwerp, he came to this country as the American based partner in a profitable enterprise of shipping bullion from Spanish America to Europe. He directed this business from Philadelphia where he made a fortune estimated at one million dollars. Upon his arrival in America, David Parish visited Gouverneur Morris who had been a friend of David's father when Morris was United States Minister to France. In the spring of 1807, Morris visited Parish and told him of vast lands in northern New York and suggested that they would be a good investment. In the spring of 1808, with Joseph Rosseel as his land agent, David Parish began purchasing land in the North Country. One of his first purchases was 72,000 acres at one dollar and fifty cents per acre. He later added to this by purchasing large tracts of Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties. In 1804 there were only four families living in Ogdensburg. In 1809 David Parish bought the unsold portion (only thirty eight lots had been sold) of the village from Samuel Ogden for eight thousand dollars. Parish saw the possibility of turning Ogdensburg into a main forwarding station on the St. Lawrence River and he made efforts to create a large commercial center there. As a result of hard work on the part of Parish and Rosseel, the town grew considerably in the years before the War of 1812.

  • Jews in Nazi Berlin

    Jews in Nazi Berlin

    1938 Chapter One 1938: The Year of Fate hermann simon Kurt Jakob Ball-Kaduri, who in 1944–47 had already started to collect reports from the persecuted German Jews in Palestine and who deposited his own mem- oirs at the Yad Vashem Archive in Jerusalem, wrote the following about the year 1938: “From the start of 1938, one had the feeling that disaster was on the horizon, that we no longer had time for lengthy planning and preparation for emigration.”1 If, before 1938, many Berlin Jews thought they could work around the un- comfortable circumstances, that feeling vanished at the start of 1938. Finally, it became clear to all that they would have to leave the place they called home. Yet in many cases, those affected saw little chance of emigrating. Emigration required entrance visas to another country, and these were by no means easy to obtain. The visas required fi nancial guarantees from relatives or friends living in the countries concerned, and not every Jew in Germany had such connections. Nazi laws, moreover, made it extremely diffi cult to transfer money and other assets abroad. Many Jews simply did not have the necessary amount of property and were unable to raise the travel expenses—even in the rare cases in which one could pay in German currency. Early March 1938 saw the enactment of the Nazi “Law on the Legal Status of Jewish Religious Associations,” which stripped Germany’s Jewish Communities of their status as religious organizations. Berlin’s Community now became an asso- ciation and was registered as such.

As a child, my parents would take me to live performances and cinematic shows and I would sit rapt, watching the theatrical events and emotional moments unfold before my eyes. Movie musicals and live shows that combined music and theatre were my favorite, especially theatrical banter and improvisation or sketch comedy. Some of my favorite youthful memories were my annual family summer trips to Las Vegas to visit my grandparents for six weeks.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation w s s produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marki!^ or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document phorographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was posable to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting tiiru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin phoroing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
