Schauprozesse Genossen Vor Gericht
Zeitzeugen TV und die Bundesstiftung zu Aufarbeitung der SED-Diktatur laden Sie herzlich ein zur Voraufführung: Schauprozesse Genossen vor Gericht Film von Thomas Grimm Eine Koproduktion von Zeitzeugen TV und dem Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg, gefördert von der Bundesstiftung zur Aufarbeitung der SED Diktatur am Freitag, den 28.11.14, um 20.00 Uhr, in der Akademie der Künste am Pariser Platz. Im Anschluß an den Film findet eine Podiumsdiskussion statt mit dem Regisseur Thomas Grimm, dem Zeitzeugen Juri Elperin, dem Historiker Fabian Thunemann und dem Journalisten Uwe-Karsten Heye. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Zusage bis zum 24. November 2014 unter [email protected] oder per Fax unter 030 / 449 5956. Schauprozesse – Genossen vor Gericht Unter Stalins Regie findet in den Jahren 1936 bis 1938 die berüchtigten Moskauer Schauprozes- se statt. Stalin nutzt sie für seinen Machterhalt und die Ausschaltung seiner Rivalen. Das Muster der Prozesse ist immer gleich: Die Angeklagten werden unter Folter zu absurden Geständnissen und Reue gezwungen. Originales Archivmaterial der Moskauer Prozesse zeigt die beklemmende Atmosphäre jener Zeit. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg werden die stalinschen Schauprozesse in die osteuropäischen Staaten exportiert. Die neuen Satellitenstaaten und ihre kommunistischen Parteien sollen auf Moskauer Kurs gebracht werden. So werden 1949 in Budapest mit Laszlo Rajk und 1952 in Prag mit Rudolf Slansky führende Genossen in öffentlichen Prozessen verurteilt und hingerichtet. Auch in der DDR soll ein solcher Schauprozess gegen Paul Merker und andere stattfinden. Doch Stalins Tod und der Volksaufstand vom 17. Juni 1953 verhindern den Prozess. Auf dem XX. Par- teitag der KPdSU 1956 rechnet der Parteichef Chruschtschow mit Stalins Verbrechen ab; in den Ostblockländern beginnt das sogenannte Tauwetter. -
Interview with J.D. Bindenagel
Library of Congress Interview with J.D. Bindenagel The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project AMBASSADOR J.D. BINDENAGEL Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: February 3, 1998 Copyright 2002 ADST Q: Today is February 3, 1998. The interview is with J.D. Bindenagel. This is being done on behalf of The Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. J.D. and I are old friends. We are going to include your biographic sketch that you included at the beginning, which is really quite full and it will be very useful. I have a couple of questions to begin. While you were in high school, what was your interest in foreign affairs per se? I know you were talking politics with Mr. Frank Humphrey, Senator Hubert Humphrey's brother, at the Humphrey Drugstore in Huron, South Dakota, and all that, but how about foreign affairs? BINDENAGEL: I grew up in Huron, South Dakota and foreign affairs in South Dakota really focused on our home town politician Senator and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Frank, Hubert Humphrey's brother, was our connection to Washington, DC, and the center of American politics. We followed Hubert's every move as Senator and Vice President; he of course was very active in foreign policy, and the issues that concerned South Dakota's farmers were important to us. Most of farmers' interests were in their wheat sales, and when we discussed what was happening with wheat you always had to talk about the Russians, who were buying South Dakota wheat. -

7 Umwandlung Der Justiz in Den Anfangsjahren
Umwandlung der Justiz in den Anfangsjahren 7 habe Jura studiert, um dem Recht zum Durchbruch zu verhelfen. Doch dieser Wunsch hat sich als Illusion erwiesen. Heute gehe ich diesem Beruf nach, um das Schlimmste zu verhindern’. Bei den meisten dieser Fragen wird man zwischen den verschiedenen Phasen der Geschichte der DDR differenzieren müssen. Heute werden wir uns bei dieser ersten Anhörung überwiegend mit der Umwandlung der Justiz zur Zeit der sowjetischen Besatzung und in den frühen Jahren der DDR befassen. Wir haben dazu verschiedene Experten eingeladen, die uns erläutern werden, mit welchen politischen Zielsetzungen die Transformation des Rechtswesens erfolgte. Die politische Funktion der Justiz bei der Herstellung einer neuen gesellschaftlichen Ordnung forderte Karl Polak, einer der führenden Rechts- theoretiker der DDR, mit Nachdruck. Es sei an der Zeit, so Polak 1946, „der Göttin Justiz die Binden von den Augen zu nehmen und sie sehend zu machen für die Tatsachen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens und die Entwicklungsgesetze der Geschichte“. Es wird u. a. zu klären sein, welcher Legitimationsmuster man sich bediente. Wie wurde mit der Chance zum Neubeginn nach den Jahren der Korrumpie- rung und Indienstnahme der Justiz im Nationalsozialismus umgegangen? Auf welche Weise wurden unter der Tarnung der Entnazifizierung Machtpositio- nen erobert? Wie entwickelte sich das Verhältnis von gesetztem Recht und Rechtsanwendung? In ihrer bisherigen Arbeit ist die Enquete-Kommission immer wieder auch mit Fragen des Rechts in Berührung gekommen. Ich erinnere mich an die Äußerung eines Zeitzeugen, der im Zusammenhang mit den Waldheim- Prozessen zu einer mehrjährigen Haftstrafe verurteilt wurde, weil er eine westdeutsche Zeitung gelesen hatte. In Vorträgen und Diskussion mit sachkundigen Menschen erhoffen wir uns instruktive Antworten auf einige der genannten Fragen, die ein sensibles und vielfach auch leidvolles Kapitel deutscher Geschichte berühren. -

Bridge of Spies
BRIDGE OF SPIES by Matt Charman and Ethan Coen & Joel Coen Final Shooting Script 12.17.14 12.17.14 FINAL SHOOTING SCRIPT 1. TITLE OVER BLACK: 1957. The height of the Cold War. The United States and the Soviet Union fear each other’s nuclear capabilities - and intentions. Both sides deploy spies - and hunt for them. INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS CLOSE ON AN ELDERLY MAN Reflected in a grimy mirror. The mirror is propped up on a chair next to an open window looking out from the fourth floor onto a Brooklyn skyline. Pull back to show the man sitting in a shabby workshop/studio. He looks from the mirror down at a canvas in front of him as he daubs paint onto a self-portrait. The telephone rings. The old man rests his brush on the easel and walks to a table cluttered with papers and shortwave radios. He picks up the phone and listens but doesn’t say anything. FULTON STREET The old man, Rudolf Abel, emerges from the building, walks along the street. TITLE: BROOKLYN An Agent follows Abel. SUBWAY TRAIN INTERIOR The Agent watches Abel as the train stops at Broad Street. The Agent, now joined by a second Agent, follows him at a distance. Abel dabs at his nose with a handkerchief. The agents lose him in the crush of commuters. They emerge from the station and consult two other Agents. No sign of Abel. First Agent heads back down the stair, smashing BANG right into Abel, who’s coming up the stairs. Abel looks up, surprised. -
Movie Nights for Thinkers and Seekers
Movie Nights for Thinkers and Seekers “Bridge of Spies” starring Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance, Alan Alda, 2015, PG-13, 142 minutes Major themes: • Cold War • Justice • Honor • Courage • Espionage • Fear • Danger • Worry • Truth Major characters: • James B. Donovan • Mary Donovan • Rudolf Abel • Wolfgang Vogel • Thomas Watters • Francis Gary Powers www.MovieNightsForThinkersAndSeekers.com page 1 Movie Nights for Thinkers and Seekers Background info: • This film is based on a 1960 – 1962 incident involving a U-2 spy plane during the Cold War. • The Cold War refers to a state of political and military tension after World War II between powers in the Eastern Bloc (Soviet Union & allies) and Western Bloc (U.S. & allies). • The U-2 spy plane is a technological marvel that pushes the extreme limits of powered flight; it can fly for more than 10 hours with a range of 7,000 miles, farther than most commercial airliners, and can reach altitudes of 70,000 feet. Despite being fragile and difficult to maneuver, it has proved valuable from its early flights over the Soviet Union, to the modern conflict in Afghanistan. • During the Cold War, West Berlin was an island inside Soviet-controlled East German territory. West Germany was far more prosperous than East Germany, which had been stripped of much of its manufacturing capacity by the Soviets at the end of the war. Consequently, many East Germans tried to leave to go to the West through Berlin, an embarrassment to the Communist nations. East Germany, backed by the Soviets, built a wall more than a hundred miles long around West Berlin to prevent anyone from East Germany escaping to West Berlin. -
Wolfgang Vogel and the Bridge of Spies
Wolfgang Vogel and the Bridge of Spies Wolfgang Vogel was the East-German lawyer with whom James Donovan negotiated to exchange Rudolf Abel for Francis Gary Powers. Vogel was also the lawyer responsible for negotiating terms for all the spy swaps between the West and the Soviets during the Cold War. He grew rich as a result of all the deals he helped to broker. One wonders how being rich could square with the philosophical beliefs of communism—a socio-economic system which rejects the capitalistic approach to life—under which Vogel, an East German, lived. Somehow, those economic restrictions did not apply to him. Vogel lived until he was 82 years old. He died, following a heart attack, on August 21, 2008. By that time, Germany was reunited and the former East German was living in the lovely Bavarian town of Schliersee. There is something interesting about Vogel’s background which seems to track with the letters James Donovan received from “Frau Abel.” Those letters were postmarked in Leipzig, then situated in East Germany. Vogel - who was born in Lower Silesia on October 30, 1925 - studied law both in Jena and in Leipzig after WWII. When Vogel died, the BBC reported how many spies (and non-spies) he had helped to exchange: In all, Vogel brokered the exchange of more than 150 spies and his swaps included the liberation of Soviet Jewish dissident Anatoly Shcharansky (now Natan Sharansky, an Israeli citizen) in 1986. But he also helped to broker the transfer of more than 34,000 East German political prisoners and 215,000 ordinary citizens to the West, beginning in 1964. -

Evaluating Bargaining Interest and Negotiation Style Using the Film Bridge of Spies
Journal of Business Cases and Applications Volume 20 Evaluating bargaining interest and negotiation style using the film Bridge of Spies Stuart H. Warnock Metropolitan State University of Denver Nancy J. Boykin Colorado State University ABSTRACT Bargaining and negotiation are topics frequently covered in a number of management and marketing courses and negotiation style and bargaining interest are topics commonly addressed. Since most students lack meaningful negotiation skills or experience, coverage of these topics is typically an abstract exercise. The academy award winning film Bridge of Spies (2015) provides an engaging way of covering these otherwise abstract concepts in an engaging and relatable way. This case provides historical background as well as background material on bargaining interest and negotiation style. It poses questions and identifies key segments of the film to help students explore these concepts in a meaningful and appealing way.
