  • WILLY BRANDT Die Nobelpreiskampagne Für Carl Von
    WILLY BRANDT Die Nobelpreiskampagne für Carl von Ossietzky Der Träger des Nobel-Friedenspreises von 1935 hat die ihm im November '36 zuerkannte Auszeichnung nur um knappe anderthalb Jahre überlebt. Daß sein Name weiterlebt, davon zeugen die Erinnerungen an seinen Tod vor nunmehr fünfzig Jahren, Anfang Mai '38. Daß die Erinnerung an ihn und auch an die mit seinem Namen verbundene Kampagne wachgehalten wird, erscheint mir wichtig - über den Tag hinaus. Der Universität Oldenburg möchte ich Dank sagen, nicht nur für die Einladung und für die Veranstaltungen dieser Tage, sondern auch dafür, daß sie ein Symbol des Widerstandes gegen die Gewaltherrschaft zu ihrem eigenen gemacht hat. Ich habe schon bei früherer Gelegenheit von der "Friedenspreiskampagne gegen Hitler" gesprochen und bin nun gebeten worden, die Kampagne als "ein Zeichen inter- nationaler Verbundenheit mit dem anderen Deutschland" zu würdigen. Dies tue ich schon deshalb gern, weil es mir Gele- genheit gibt, an Worte anzuknüpfen, die Teil meiner Nobel- preis-Rede vom Dezember 1971 waren. Die Ehrung Ossietz- kys fünfunddreißig Jahre zuvor, sagte ich damals, sei ein Sieg über die Barbarei gewesen. Deshalb liege mir daran, "dem Nobelkomitee im Namen eines freien Deutschland dafür in aller Form einen späten Dank auszusprechen." Gleichzeitig grüßte ich damals, wie ich es auch heute tue, "die ehemalige Résistance in allen Ländern" und verband damit ein Wort der Ermutigung für all diejenigen, "die sich um - 6 - WILLY BRANDT _________________________________________________ Menschen kümmern, die wegen ihrer Überzeugung gefangen- gehalten oder auf andere Weise verfolgt werden." Es gibt in der Tat - historisch wie aktuell - gute Gründe, jenen geistreichen und furchtlosen Schriftsteller vor dem Vergessen zu bewahren, den Martin Greiffenhagen "Dreyfus und Zola in einer Person" genannt hat - mit dem bitteren Zusatz, ein Nationalheld sei "unser Zola" nicht geworden.

  • Ernesto Teodoro Moneta
    “... Ci sono uomini, pochi, da contarsi sulle dita, che diventano tutt’uno con l’idea, poiché l’idea si impadronisce di loro, li attira a sé, ed essi si trasformano completamente.” (Shimon Kanovizt) Ernesto Teodoro Moneta nacque a Milano il 20 settembre 1833 dal nobile Carlo Aurelio Moneta e da Giuseppina Muzio, COMUNE DI MISSAGLIA nella casa di famiglia, accanto alla fabbrica di detersivi fon- data dal nonno. Il padre, profondamente religioso ma ardente patriota, educò i figli cristianamente al rispetto per gli altri, ma seppe infondere in loro un grande amore per la patria. Durante i mesi estivi la famiglia si recava in villeggiatura nella casa di campagna di Missaglia, in Brianza, in località “Agazzi- no”, a tre ore di calesse da Milano. Ernesto Teodoro, terzogenito di una vivace tribù di tredici figli, trascorreva l’estate in un’atmosfera bucolica, a contatto con la vita semplice dei contadini. Egli amò sempre il suo rifugio missagliese e per tutta la sua vita vi si recò, circondato da pa- renti e amici, intessendo rapporti di buon vicinato con le altre famiglie milanesi che allora villeggiavano numerose in Brianza. Negli anni della sua adolescenza Milano doveva fare i conti con la dominazione austriaca che si faceva sempre più aspra e soffocante e il giovane Moneta assisteva ai fermenti che pre- ludevano agli eventi del 1848 e al Risorgimento nazionale. Il pomeriggio del 18 marzo 1848 quando i moti iniziarono Te- odoro, allora quattordicenne, aiutò genitori e fratelli a predi- sporre mucchi di sassi e mattoni vicino alle finestre, da utiliz- zare come armi contro i soldati austriaci e dall’alto della loro abitazione tutti i membri della famiglia Moneta parteciparono 20 alle Giornate di Milano.

Kenneth Lasson As we continue celebrating the season of freedom - perhaps the most symbolic of all Jewish holidays, for Passover above all contemplates the meaning of redemption, liberation from the shackles of bondage - we should not forget that two of our people remain locked away from their families and the world. We know one is alive but barely surviving the harsh conditions of imprisonment. The other may be neither alive nor well. For Jonathan J. Pollard, the American serving a life sentence for disclosing classified information to Israel, each Passover is a poignant reminder of the 25 years he has already been confined to a federal penitentiary. He suffers from a variety of ailments, at least one of which recently threatened his life.

DANIEL LAQUA1 BELGIAN INTERNATIONALISTS, THE GREAT WAR AND THE QUEST FOR PEACE In 1932, Henri Pirenne – widely renowned for his work on medieval towns – published the final part of his Histoire de Belgique. The first instalment of his magnum opus had appeared more than three decades earlier and tackled a period long before Belgium’s independent statehood, from Antiquity to end of the High Middle Ages2. It was only with volume VII that Pirenne finally reached the era since the Belgian Revolution of 1830. The account drew a wider picture of the country before the First World War.
