Shoah 1 Shoah
Shoah 1 Shoah [1] (« catastrophe » ,שואה : Le terme Shoah (hébreu désigne l'extermination par l'Allemagne nazie des trois quarts des Juifs de l'Europe occupée[2] , soit les deux tiers de la population juive européenne totale et environ 40 % des Juifs du monde, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; ce qui représente entre cinq et six millions de victimes selon les estimations des historiens[3] . Ce génocide des Juifs constituait pour les nazis « la Solution finale à la question juive » (die Endlösung der Judenfrage). Le terme français d’Holocauste est également utilisé et l’a précédé. Le terme « judéocide » est également utilisé par certains pour qualifier la Destruction du ghetto de Varsovie, avril 1943. Shoah. L'extermination des Juifs, cible principale des nazis, fut perpétrée par la faim dans les ghettos de Pologne et d'URSS occupées, par les fusillades massives des unités mobiles de tuerie des Einsatzgruppen sur le front de l'Est (la « Shoah par balles »), au moyen de l'extermination par le travail forcé dans les camps de concentration, dans les « camions à gaz », et dans les chambres à gaz des camps d'extermination. L'horreur de ce « crime de masse »[4] a conduit, après-guerre, à l'élaboration des notions juridiques de « crime contre l'humanité »[5] et de « génocide »[6] , utilisé postérieurement dans d'autres contextes (génocide arménien, génocide des Tutsi, etc.). Une très grave lacune du droit international humanitaire a également été complétée avec l'adoption des Conventions de Genève de 1949, qui protègent la population civile en temps de guerre[7] . L'extermination des Juifs durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale se distingue par son caractère industriel, bureaucratique et systématique qui la rend unique dans l'histoire de l'humanité[8] . -

Annual Report 2008 Genocide in Which Six Million European Jews Were Exter- Minated
We, women and men in public life, historians, intellectuals and people from all faiths, have come together to declare that the defence of values of justice and fraternity must overwhelm all obstacles to prevail over intolerance, racism and conflict. We say clearly that the Israelis and the Palestinians have a right to their own state, their own sovereignty and security and that any peace process with such aims must be supported. In the face of ignorance, prejudice and competing memories that we reject, we believe in the power of knowledge and the primacy of History. We there- fore affirm, beyond all political considerations, our deter- mination to defend historical truth, for no peace is built on lies.The Holocaust is a historical fact: the annual rePorT 2008 genocide in which six million European Jews were exter- minated. To deny this crime against humanity is not only an insult to the memory of the victims, but also an insult to the very idea of civilization. Hence, we believe that the teaching of this tragedy concerns all those who have at heart the will to prevent further genocides. The same requirement of truth calls on us to recall the actions of the Righteous in Europe and in the Arab and Muslim world. Together, we declare our common desire to promote a sincere dialogue, open and fraternal. It is in this spirit 10, avenue Percier that we have gathered around the Aladdin Project. We call 75008 Paris — France on all men and women of conscience around the Tel: +33 1 53 42 63 10 Fax: +33 1 53 42 63 11 world to work with us in this common endeavour www.fondationshoah.org of shared knowedge, mutual respect and peace. -

Issue 5 May 2016
THE ARCHIVE ISSUE 5 MAY 2016 The fifth edition of The Archive is perhaps a slimmer volume than its predecessors, but no worse for it. As a pupil-run magazine with somewhat irregular publication, accepting articles from all year groups on any historical or political topic, The Archive has been unfortunately subject to the whims of unreliable Sixth Formers. Nonetheless, despite a not inconsiderable delay, we now publish articles on such diverse topics as the European Referendum (with compelling accounts for both sides), the American War of Independence, and the experiences of the Ovitz family in Auschwitz – an immense range in subject and tone, but sufficiently selective to maintain a consistent quality. Jack Watson’s article has dated somewhat, but since he very gamely wrote it almost a year ago, it only seemed sporting to give him an organ to express his views. The format of the articles has been somewhat altered, in the hope that this will make them a little more readable. We are grateful to all of our contributors, to Miss Titmuss for making publication of The Archive possible, to Dr Byrne for proof-reading, and to Mr P G Neal for his stoicism in the face of chronic disorganisation and sloth on the part of his editors. We trust that the magazine demonstrates that historical talent thrives among pupils, though administrative ability may not.

Wmc Investigation: 10-Year Analysis of Gender & Oscar
WMC INVESTIGATION: 10-YEAR ANALYSIS OF GENDER & OSCAR NOMINATIONS womensmediacenter.com @womensmediacntr WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER ABOUT THE WOMEN’S MEDIA CENTER In 2005, Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem founded the Women’s Media Center (WMC), a progressive, nonpartisan, nonproft organization endeav- oring to raise the visibility, viability, and decision-making power of women and girls in media and thereby ensuring that their stories get told and their voices are heard. To reach those necessary goals, we strategically use an array of interconnected channels and platforms to transform not only the media landscape but also a cul- ture in which women’s and girls’ voices, stories, experiences, and images are nei- ther suffciently amplifed nor placed on par with the voices, stories, experiences, and images of men and boys. Our strategic tools include monitoring the media; commissioning and conducting research; and undertaking other special initiatives to spotlight gender and racial bias in news coverage, entertainment flm and television, social media, and other key sectors. Our publications include the book “Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate Language”; “The Women’s Media Center’s Media Guide to Gender Neutral Coverage of Women Candidates + Politicians”; “The Women’s Media Center Media Guide to Covering Reproductive Issues”; “WMC Media Watch: The Gender Gap in Coverage of Reproductive Issues”; “Writing Rape: How U.S. Media Cover Campus Rape and Sexual Assault”; “WMC Investigation: 10-Year Review of Gender & Emmy Nominations”; and the Women’s Media Center’s annual WMC Status of Women in the U.S. -
Jim Sturgess & Koji Yakusho to Star in “Defending The
! JIM STURGESS & KOJI YAKUSHO TO STAR IN “DEFENDING THE ENEMY” ! Los Angeles, CA, May 16, 2014– Producer Jonathan Sanger announced today Jim Sturgess & Koji Yakusho will star in the new feature film, “Defending the Enemy.” James Moll is attached to direct. Based on the book “A Trial of Generals,” the story follows the widely publicized war crimes trial of General Matsaharu Homma at the end of WWII. Accused of organizing the brutal death march in Bataan, Philippines, Homma‘s destiny appears doomed when General MacArthur assigns the neophyte defense attorney John Skeen to prepare his defense. Based on actual events, the story is not so much about a trial as it is about the nobility of two very different soldiers. Principal photography is set for August. Executive Producer, Ellen Wander, along with her company, Film Bridge International, is overseeing the financing and worldwide distribution for “Defending the Enemy.” ! The UK actor, Jim Sturgess had his breakthrough role as “Jude” in the feature film, “Across the Universe.” He soon followed played opposite Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Eric Bana in "The Other Boleyn Girl” and starred opposite Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne in "21." Sturgess also received critical acclaim in the Ridley Scott’s award winning, “Heartless” and most recently starred with Geoffrey Rush in Giuseppe Tornatore’s “La migliore offerta” and opposite Patricia Arquette and Chloë Sevigny as a furniture salesman turned bank robber in the feature film, “Electric Slide.” ! Kôji Yakusho, one of Japan's most gifted and popular leading men, starred along side Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in Alejandro Inarritu’s “Babel.” Yakusho first gained international success with his portrayal of a struggling young executive trying to master ballroom dancing in the original Japanese version of “Shall We Dance?," The film went on to become one of the highest-grossing Japanese movies in the world. -
Defining Decorative, Examining Design
LACMA Evenings for Educators DEFINING DECORATIVE, EXAMINING DESIGN __________________________________________________________________ ESIGN IS ALL AROUND US. FROM SMALL-SCALE HOUSEHOLD OBJECTS TO massive architectural features, decorative and functional objects effect our daily lives and reflect our societal values. By studying Dthese objects, we learn about the forms, uses, and meanings of objects, designs, and environments in everyDay life. When we explore the decorative arts anD design, we consiDer a number of factors, including the artists’ choices about subject, style, material, and function. To begin an exploration of decorative arts anD design with students, pose the following questions: What do you see? Collect visual information. What is the central subject or focus of this work? What are the surrounding details? Artists think carefully about the appearance of their designs. Consider the artist’s choice of color, size, shape, surface pattern, and texture. The artworks featured in these materials represent a wiDe range of cultures and time periods. What was it used for? Who may have used it? What are the intended uses or functions of these objects? How can we tell? What do these items imply about the time anD place in which they were created, or about the people who may have used them? By carefully examining works of art, we can also understand the historical, cultural, and geographical influences of the periods in which they were made. How was it made? What material is the artwork made of? What factors may have influenced the artists’ choice of materials? What historical events took place arounD the time this artwork was made? What technology was available at that time? Was the object mass produceD or hanDcrafteD? Many factors influence the choice of materials, incluDing cost, durability, weight, flexibility, availability, the manufacturing anD engineering processes, and the scale of production.
