    Reconciling American Jewishness with the “100 Percent American”: Henry Morgenthau Jr. and American Jewry, 1934-1945 Lucy Hammet Senior Research Capstone History 480, Senior Research Seminar Dr. Vivien Dietz Hammet 2 Reflecting on his childhood, his family, and his religion, Henry Morgenthau III, son and namesake of FDR’s Secretary of the Treasury, wrote in 1991 of his Jewish heritage, calling it “a kind of birth defect that could not be eradicated but with proper treatment could be overcome, if not in this generation then probably in the next. The cure was achieved through the vigorous lifelong exercise of one’s Americanism.”1 He goes on to recount a childhood memory that took place in the early 1920s in New York City when a fellow playmate asked about his religion. Later, he confronted his parents with the question, “What’s my religion?” In response, Morgenthau III was taught the following: “If anyone ever asks you that again, just tell them you’re an American.”2 And that is what he did for much of his life. Had he asked his father, Henry Morgenthau Jr., this same question twenty years later, the answer would likely have been very different. By the end of World War II, Morgenthau Jr. was a leader in the American Jewish establishment, chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, and an aggressive actor in the struggle to save the remaining Jews of Europe. His son understood this change as having “sprung from something hidden deep within his conscience.”3 In reality, Morgenthau was one of many American Jews who underwent a turbulent change in experience of Jewishness in the 1930s and 1940s.

  • Origins of the Genre in Search of the Radio Sitcom
    1 Origins of the Genre In Search of the Radio Sitcom DAVID MARC The introduction of a mass communication medium normally occurs when an economically viable commercial application is found for a new technol- ogy. A third element necessary to the launch, content (i.e., something to communicate), is often treated as something of an afterthought in this process. As a result, adaptations of popular works and of entire genres from previous media tend to dominate the introductory period, even as they mutate under the developing conditions of the new medium. Such was the case in the rise of the television sitcom from the ashes of network radio. While a dozen or more long-running network radio series served as sources for early television situation comedies, it is in some ways misleading to describe these radio programs (e.g., Father Knows Best, Amos ’n’ Andy, or The Life of Riley) as “radio sitcoms.” According to the Oxford English Dic- tionary, neither the term “situation comedy” nor “sitcom” achieved common usage until the 1950s, the point at which this type of entertainment had become completely absent from American radio. TV Guide appears to be among the first general circulation publica- tions to use the term “situation comedy” in print with the following passage cited by the Oxford English Dictionary from a 1953 article: “Ever since I Love Lucy zoomed to the top rung on the rating ladder, it seems the networks have been filling every available half-hour with another situation comedy” (TV Guide). The abbreviated form, “sitcom,” which probably enjoys greater usage today, has an even shorter history.

  • Henry Morgenthau's Voice in History
    Journal Winter 15 interior_Journal Fall 09 10/19/14 8:22 PM Page 200 PAMELA STEINER Henry Morgenthau’s Voice in History Author’s Note: This essay is based on a lecture I gave to the Euxeinos Club of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2010, at an event honoring my great-grandfather, Henry Morgenthau, for his extraordinary service in Turkey and Greece during and post-World War I. The Euxeinos Club published an earlier version. I offer great thanks to Margaret Lavinia Anderson, Peter Balakian, David and Lucy Eisenberg, Helen Fox, Maria Hadjipavlou, Nicolas Jofre, Theodosios Kyriakidis, Deborah Lessor, Ellin London, David Lotto, Henry Morgenthau III, Rosemarie Morse, Judy Naumburg, Elaine Papoulias, Alan Stone, and Henry Steiner for comments, information, or encouragement.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Henry Morgenthau (1856-1946) distinguished himself as the U.S. Ambas- sador to the Ottoman Empire, 1913-1916, and as the chairman of the League of Nations Refugee Settlement Commission (RSC) for Greece, 1923-24. I describe aspects of his early life that shaped the man he became, his accomplishments in these two posts, and his feelings about himself over time. At the end I briefly describe his attitude toward a possible Jewish state in Palestine. I.

I heard that sentence halfway through my research, while I was at the FDR Library in Hyde Park, New York. One morning at the Golden Manor Motel right across the street, I decided to have an all American breakfast – donuts, coffee and Tropicana orange juice included – when an older couple was having coffee at the table next to me. Tim Walsch (72 years old) was excited to start the story to his wife Ruth Tepper (62 years old), when she replied: ‘Oh Tim, I hear it every time we get here…’ He almost did not continue, so I stepped in and asked them everything about the American first lady and how she did save his uncle’s life.
