There Was a Man of UNRRA: Internationalism, Humanitarianism, and the Early Cold War in Europe, 1943-1947 There Was a Man of UNRRA: Internationalism, Humanitarianism, and the Early Cold War in Europe, 1943-1947 A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amanda Melaine Bundy Graduate Program in History. The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Jennifer Siegel, Advisor Peter Hahn Robin Judd Copyrighted by Amanda Melaine Bundy 2017 Abstract This dissertation analyzes the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), a postwar humanitarian organization. UNRRA represented a new internationalist spirit in humanitarian cooperation, but its demise after only three years of operation reflects the emerging divisions between the Western democracies and the Soviet Union. UNRRA leadership and personnel faced daunting challenges in confronting the refugee crisis and rebuilding devastated nations. Because UNRRA was an innovation in international humanitarian cooperation, no precedent existed for those on the ground. Relief became politicized, as UNRRA staff sought to remain neutral in an increasingly bipolar context. In Greece and Italy, UNRRA implemented vital public health programs that eased the suffering of the populations in those nations. In Poland and Yugoslavia, UNRRA was caught between its neutral mission to provide relief to anyone in need, and the increasing pressure from the United States not to feed Communists. In Germany, leadership undermined the mission to provide help for displaced persons. In Ukraine and Byelorussia, American leadership overcame significant negative public opinion to deliver relief. Ultimately, UNRRA and the internationalism that created it fell victim to the breakdown of the postwar alliance. ii To my mother, Who loves and works with equal passion iii Acknowledgments A number of people deserve my deepest gratitude for their support. I have benefitted enormously from the mentorship of a number of professors at Ohio State including Alice Conklin, Peter Hahn, Robin Judd, Robert McMahon, and Chris Otter. My advisor, Jennifer Siegel, pushed me to think more broadly about my research and my project is much better for her efforts. Russell and Liz Bundy served as inspiration for thinking about how personalities shape organizations. Gretchen gave me the support and encouragement I needed to keep working. My mom set a high standard for education and achievement while always showing her unconditional love. Nola and Alex offered frequent and much needed interruption to my work that actually forced me to be more focused when facing deadlines. Finally, Bobby knew me well enough to know that I needed to stay on this intellectual journey and made the necessary sacrifices to ensure that I could see it through. iv Vita 2000 ............................................................................

Byrnes asking him to replace Herbert Lehman as head of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Tired after forty years of service, LaGuardia had left public life only a few months earlier. His initial inclination was to decline the offer, although he would eventually agree to serve. Conceived by the much-admired Franklin D. Roosevelt, UNRRA had promised to be the greatest relief operation in history at its founding in 1943, but it was widely regarded as a disappointment two years into its operations. Allied military authorities regarded UNRRA as a weak civilian organization and had little inclination to share their authority. With its prestige waning, UNRRA’s first General Director Herbert Lehman had resigned for health reasons. In a conversation with his close advisor, Ira Hirschmann, LaGuardia argued that UNRRA must deliver food to the people quickly and address the problem of displaced persons. Hirschmann added that the organization would have to break with precedent to be effective, possibly offending the British Foreign Office and the State Department along the way. As the two friends 1 discussed plans excitedly, LaGuardia settled on the slogan for his leadership of UNRRA: “save them first and argue after!”1 Solving UNRRA’s problems would take more than a slogan and LaGuardia’s patented enthusiasm for reform. The organization represented an innovation in humanitarianism: the partnership of multiple nations in pursuit of postwar stability through the relief and rehabilitation of conquered nations. Beyond its core mission, UNRRA represented a commitment to internationalism and neutrality. UNRRA operated while the wartime alliance between the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union remained intact, but met a premature end as the spirit of internationalism waned in 1946. UNRRA’s continued existence relied heavily on that tenuous relationship, in particular the United States’ willingness to support an internationalist organization rather than forge a unilateralist path. For a brief moment, UNRRA embodied hopes of continued postwar cooperation that would soon be dashed by the hardening divisions of the Cold War. This project will analyze UNRRA’s successes and failures as an international organization. At a critical point in 1943, it emerged to address the overwhelming destruction of the war and displacement of millions of people. It represents the best of the immediate postwar internationalist moment. That internationalism constituted the desire to remake the international system with the input of a large share of the world’s nations in a way that would encourage peace and prosperity. Internationalism under this definition is multilateral, not 1 Ira A. Hirschmann, The Embers Still Burn (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1949), 7. 2 unilateral or bilateral. It would promote intergovernmental cooperation on a number of issues including world governance, human rights, war crimes, public health, refugees, and monetary policy. For its proponents, internationalism would be the key to collective security, a replacement for the balance of power system of the nineteenth century and the weakness of the League of Nations in the interwar period. The United Nations, established in San Francisco in 1945, would be the long-term embodiment of this commitment to internationalism, while UNRRA’s tenure would last only three years despite the ongoing challenges of rebuilding and resettling displaced persons. Why? The commitment to internationalism on the part of the United States and to UNRRA specifically depended on the perception that the organization fulfilled American objectives. Within the emerging scholarship on internationalism in the twentieth century, broad consensus exists that internationalism and nationalism are intertwined. The nature of that relationship, and the extent to which either force subsumes the other, is the central question. Patricia Clavin argues that “the drive to international organization would be no antidote to great-power politics,” describing the influence of small states in the League relative to the dominance of a few powers in the early days of the United Nations.2 According to Glenda Sluga, many hoped that internationalism would be such an antidote. She defines liberal internationalism as a broad range of activities that promote global peace and cooperation. Nationalism is the natural enemy of this movement as it fosters 2 Patricia Clavin, “International Organizations,” The Cambridge History of the Second World War, Vol. II: Politics and Ideology, ed. Richard J. B. Bosworth and Joseph A. Maiolo (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2015), 155. 3 rivalry and competition.3 In reality, the relationship between internationalism and nationalism lies somewhere in between. States use internationalism to their own ends, as the promotion of peace and prosperity ensures stability. Jessica Reinisch offers synthesis in The Reluctant Internationalists, a research project that explores the role of public health in Europe and its connections with the world in 20th century. Concerns about public health crises such as the outbreak of epidemics, the resettlement of refugees, malnutrition, and venereal disease spurred policymakers into action that they often undertook with considerable reluctance.4 Reinisch and Matthew Frank argue against an idealistic internationalism, but rather say that policymakers had national interests at

    Rescinding a bid: Stockholm’s uncertain relationship with the Olympic Games Erik Johan Olson Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Geography Robert D. Oliver Luke Juran Korine N. Kolivras February 16, 2018 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: sport mega-events, urban development, Olympic bidding, Agenda 2020, bid failure, urban politics, bid strategy Copyright 2018 Rescinding a bid: Stockholm’s uncertain relationship with the Olympic Games Erik Olson ABSTRACT The City of Stockholm has undergone a curious process of considering whether to launch a bid for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. That Stockholm has contemplated launching a bid is not surprising from a regional perspective—the Olympic Games have not been held in a Scandinavian country since Lillehammer, Norway played host in 1994 and Sweden has never hosted the Winter Olympics. A potential bid from Stockholm would also be consistent with Sweden’s self-identification and embracement of being a ‘sportive nation’. Failed applications by the Swedish cities of Gothenburg, Falun, and Östersund to host the Winter Olympic Games confirm the long-standing interest of the Swedish Olympic Committee to secure the Games, although it should be noted that the Swedish Olympic Committee did not submit a bid for the 2006, 2010, 2014 or 2018 Winter Olympic Games competitions. Although recent reports indicate that Stockholm will not vie for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, the notion that the city was even considering the option remains surprising. Stockholm had withdrawn its bid from the 2022 bidding competition citing a variety of concerns including a lack of government and public support, financial uncertainty, as well as the post-event viability of purpose-built infrastructure.

Nine species in about 1.000 specimens were collected between 1971 and 1976 mainly as larvae during winter and early spring. Während des Neuropterologen-Symposiums vom 11. bis 13.4.1997 auf Schloß Schwanberg wurde ich von den anwesenden Teilnehmern mehrfach bedrängt, die mir aus der Umgebung von Würzburg bekannten Fundorte der dort heimischen Raphidienarten zusammenzufassen und zu veröffentlichen. Obwohl diese Funde inzwischen mehr als 20 Jahre alt sind, sind sie mangels neuerer Nachweise immer noch aktuell. Fast alle Raphidien wurden als Larven gesammelt und viele bis zur Imago aufgezogen. Ein großer Teil wurde zu morphologischen, entwicklungsgeschichtlichen oder parasitologischen Unter-suchungen verwendet. Von den meisten Tieren sind aber neben Totalpräparaten von Larven und Adulten noch fixierte, in Alkohol konservierte, noch nachbestimmbare Teile vorhanden (im Naturmuseum Augsburg). Bei Würzburg wurden 9 Kamelhalsfliegenarten gefunden. Nachweise liegen von folgenden Fund­ orten vor, wobei bis zu 7 Arten nebeneinander auftreten. 1. westlich von Creglingen/ Tauber - MTB 6426, 49°29rN x 10°2'E 2. bei Geiselwind/Steigerwald - MTB 6228, 49°47,N x 10°30'E 3.

In class, Hans-Georg Gadamer's concept 3f effective-historical consciousness can be used to evaluate the allegedly propagandistic messages in Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will." Analysis of this 1934 film reveals how it reinforced racial doctrines propagated by the Nazis and by scientists who sympathized with these racial views. Somewhat paradoxically, Riefenstahl's film may be considered a harbinger of twogenres in film whose essences seem contradictory: documentary and propaganda. "Triumph of the Will" contains no narration whatsoever after brief introductory remarks. Nat verbalized, these remarks are printedon successive screens in short phrases. This lack of narration reduces the critical distance between viewer and event. The opening scene features Adolf Hitler emerging from a plane to grace Nuremberg with his presence, and to rescue and transform Germany.

  • And Other Targeted Minorities in the Third Reich Week 2 Unit Learning Ou
    WEEK 2 Prewar Persecution of “Enemies of the State” and Other Targeted Minorities in the Third Reich Prepared by Tony Joel and Mathew Turner Week 2 Unit Learning Outcomes ULO 1. evaluate in a reflective and critical manner the consequences of racism and prejudice ULO 3. synthesise core historiographical debates on how and why the Holocaust occurred Introduction This learning module is divided into a series of seven mostly short sections all of which are linked by the common theme of German victim groups who were ostracised and persecuted by their own government when living under Nazism. We start this week by examining the Nazi concept of supposed “Aryan” superiority and the creation of a national socialist “people’s community” or what the Nazis termed their ideal Volksgemeinschaft. Section 2 explores theories of Nazi “racial hygiene” and eugenics, which provided a pseudoscientific framework for Nazi racial theories including the identification of “undesirables” (Jews and others) who were classified as not belonging to the Volksgemeinschaft. Section 3 (the lengthiest this week) investigates the persecution of Jews living in the Third Reich, particularly in the prewar period 1933-39 but also up to 1941. Section 4 considers how German Jews responded to this persecution, both “officially” and privately. Section 5 outlines the Nazi system of concentration camps, used to intimidate and imprison political opponents and other individuals considered to be “enemies of the state.” The section reinforces the important point that, although they were included among the targets, Jews were by no means the main priority during the prewar period. Section 6 looks at the Nazi program of forced sterilisation introduced as early as July 1933, which provided Nazi doctors with the legal means to carry out the sterilisation of individuals who, according to racial “science,” threatened the purity of the “Aryan race.” Sterilisation victims included Germans with hereditary illnesses, mental illnesses, or perceived physical and intellectual disabilities.

  • Peter Hopkinson Is a Documentary Film-Maker Whose Life Has Ranged From
    PETER HOPKINSON Peter Hopkinson is a documentary film-maker whose life has ranged from camerawork with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the heyday of Hollywood to, more recently, the organisation of film production in the Central American state of Costa Rica. He entered the film industry before World War Two as a clapper- boy at Ealing Studios, and worked as a camera assistant at Alexander Korda’s Denham Studios. During the War he served with the Army Film and Photographic Unit filming on various battlefronts, and in its aftermath shot the first uncensored film in Soviet Russia. In 1946 he joined the celebrated American cine news magazine The March of Time as a director-reporter., filming in India, China, Japan, the middle East, Europe and the United States. For NBC he directed and photographed numerous international television reports and, for Louis de Rochemont, a prize-winning film on the Suez Canal. From the Council of Europe came a Special Award for a film profile of Britain in the Sixties; and the film he wrote and directed of the ending of colonial rule in Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, African Awakening, was selected for UNESCO’s Kalinga Prize as the one British film ‘judged to contribute most effectively to international co-operation in education, science and culture’. Producing, as well as directing, he has been working for some time on a series of films on natural resources, of which the first, Time for Tin, received a premier ‘Gold Camera’ Award at the United States Industrial Film and Video Festival. Sponsored by UNESCO, he undertook a study of world population pressures, A Matter of Families, filmed in India, Iran, Kenya and Venezuela.
