Seventh Street, Los Angeles, California Spate permits only highlighting of news. More detailed information is available to serious Students and Writers. Figures In Text indicate Ref-I No.118. December 4,19401 immat erence Notes at end of Issue. ALIBI FRONT OF AMERICA-NAZIS CRACKS Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. --Samuel Johnson Subversivists of all persuasions, once uncovered, promptly seize upon the Stars and Stripes as their most effective camouflage. This abuse of the flag is resorted to not only by foreign-born Nazi propagandists but also by native- P-erican adherents of Hitler. Almost daily, new cases of both types are ex- 3ed, many of them reaching spectacular proportions. For the present, NEWS LETTER unfolds cases involving Dr. Friedrich E. Au- hagen 1 ), Dr. Edmond F. Kohl and George Sylvester Viereck 2), all German-born. Counterparts of native-born anti-Democratic agitators will be presented in an- early issue, when, among others, the activities of G. Allison Phelps will be analyzed. This is the man who daily, via radio station KMTR, Los Angeles, un- 'eashes a half-hour salvo calculated to arouse racial antagonisms. Using many if Doktor Goebbels' stock arguments, Phelps resorts to the same bag of tricks which underlings of the Reich Propaganda Ministry employ, especially "flag mouflagefl. To this end, Phelps incesTs G F. I! 'TER flEFFFICK. .santly repeats: "I preach Americanise. To deal first with the Nazi brand of anti-Democratic subversivists: NEWS LETTER, on January 4th, last, reproduced a rather chummy letter (il. luStration on page 2) written by Dr. ...9.C7V9 ^ Herbert Scholz 3), German Consul Gener- '.917 al at Boston, Mass.

Subsequently, Reich Consul Scholz indiscreet document was reprinted in many newspapers from coast to coast; it also appeared in Ler Aul- bau (Reconstruction), a German-language, PhCstnitle of Mr. G. S. Vteredk's let- strongly anti-Nazi periodical, published ter addressed to AIRS. Story on page 7. in New York City. Page 2. As a result, all these publications were veritably inundated by "Letters to the Editor". This avalanche of protest had been unloosed by officers of the "American Fellowship Forum", all of them zealously averring that this or- ganization and "Today's Challenge" had no Nazi affiliations at all. The edi- tor, and members of his advisory committee, seemed greatly incensed at being mentioned in the same breath with Goebbels et al. Studying these letters, certain resemblances as to approach of subject, and such logic of denial as they were supposed to contain, stand out strik- ingly. In every letter, the emphatic statement occurs that the writers, far from being Nazis, are good American patriots, and will have absolutely no truck whatever with those terrible Nazis....above all, not in such matters as their treatment of "non-Aryan" minorities. In this way, all "writers-in" try to sidestep the subject under discussion so as to make it appear as if anti-Semitism, and not Nazism, is the case in point. The Philo-Semitic Red Herring No sooner had Der Aufbau reproduced from NEWS LETTER Reich Consul Scholz' indiscreet note, than its editor, Dr. Manfred George, received, within 24 hours, first Auhagen's (facsimile on page 3) and then Kohl's protest (facsimile on pages 4 and 5).

  • Integration and Name Changing Among Jewish Refugees from Central Europe in the United States
    Reprinted from NAMES VOLUME VI • NUMBER 3 • SEPTEMBER 1958 Integration and Name Changing among Jewish Refugees from Central Europe in the United States ERNEST MAASS Acknowledgements The idea of writing this study came to me a number of years ago. However, it was not until I received a fellowship for this purpose from the Jewish Conference on Material Claims against Germany, Inc., which I gratefully acknowledge, that I was able to give the subject the time and attention I felt it deserved. In furthering the progress of the work several persons were particularly helpful. They gave me freely of their time, encouraged me in various ways, offered welcome critical advice, or commented on the draft manus- cript. Special thanks for such help are due to Abraham Aidenoff, William R. Gaede, Kurt R. Grossmann, Erwin G. Gudde, Hugo Hahn, Ernest Hamburger, Alfred L. Lehmann, Adolf Leschnitzer, Martin Sobotker, Arieh Tartakower and Fred S. Weissman. Among those who throughout the years brought name changes to my attention I am especially indebted to my mother. I also wish to thank the many other persons from whose active interest in the project I have profited and whom I may have failed to mention. Background, Immigration, Integration SE TERM "JEWISH REFUGEE FROM CENTRAL EUROPE", in this paper, refers to Jews from Germany and Austria who left their native lands in 1933 or later as a result of persecution by the Na- tional Socialist regime. It also includes Jews from Czechoslovakia whose mother tongue was German and. who escaped after the annexation by Germany of the Sudetenland in 1938 and the esta- blishment of a German Protectorate in 1939.

  • Chapter 11 JFK, Berlin, and the Berlin Crises, 1961-1963
    Chapter 11 JFK, Berlin, and the Berlin Crises, 1961-1963 Robert G. Waite When John Kennedy addressed the nation at his swearing-in ceremony on January 20, 1961, he had nothing to say about Berlin, about the on-going crisis over the status of the occupied and divided city. Rather, the newly elected President spoke on other issues, especially “the quest for peace” and the “struggle against the common enemy of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.”1 Berlin would soon, however, gain his attention. Tensions in the divided city had been growing since the end of World War II and the Berlin Question became a full-blown international crisis in 1958 when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev announced that the issue of Berlin had to be settled and that if the West did not agree to a peace treaty recognizing East Germany, the German Democratic Republic, his nation would. Access to Berlin would then fall to Walter Ulbricht and his communist government. Such actions meant that the allies would lose more than their strategic foothold in central Europe; their strength and determination to remain firm against the Communists would be thrown into doubt.2 Despite the absence of references to Berlin in his initial addresses as president, JFK had since his election victory begun to focus on Berlin, on the crises over the status of the divided city which could erupt at any time into a full-blown east-west confrontation. During his term of office as President, Kennedy took forceful and deliberate steps to reassure our European allies, West German leaders, and residents of 1 “Inaugural Address.

  • The Compromise of Return: Viennese Jews After the Holocaust
    PRAISE FOR THE COMPROMISE OF RETURN “In an engaging, thoroughly researched study, Elizabeth Anthony reveals how and why Jewish returnees came back to ‘their’ city, Vienna, but not to Austria. They persisted in reclaiming their familial, professional, and polit- ical homes, as they compromised with ongoing individual and governmen- tal antisemitism, including the refusal to return their property. Elegantly written, Anthony’s book highlights the hardships and disappointments of Jewish survivors as they settled back ‘home.’” —Marion Kaplan, author of Hitler’s Jewish Refugees: Hope and Anxiety in Portugal “With The Compromise of Return Elizabeth Anthony brings history alive. She paints a vivid picture of the life of Jewish Austrians who chose to remain in or returned to Vienna after the fall of the Nazi regime. Through poignant personal interviews coupled with meticulous archival research and in conversation with international scholarship, the author convinc- ingly argues how their unique Jewish-Viennese identities allowed them to remain in an anti-Semitic society that presented itself as Hitler’s first vic- tim. The Compromise of Return, the first comprehensive English-language study on the topic, constitutes a major contribution to post-war Austrian and Holocaust histories.” —Jacqueline Vansant, author of Reclaiming Heimat: Trauma and Mourning in Memoirs by Jewish Austrian Reémigrés “Deeply researched and beautifully written, this book tells the poignant story of Jewish survivors’ return to Vienna, really for the first time. Brim- ming with insights, it gives voice to the returnees; it is they who stand at the core of this history.” —Dirk Rupnow, Institute for Contemporary History, University of Innsbruck The Compromise of Return THE COMPROMISE OF RETURN VIENNESE JEWS AFTER THE HOLOCAUST ELIZABETH ANTHONY WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS Detroit © 2021 by Elizabeth Anthony.

Biographical/Historical Heinrich Mann (1871-1950), one of the foremost German writers of the twentieth century, lived almost penniless and seemingly forgotten in Los Angeles for nearly a decade before his death in 1950. Heinrich Mann was the elder brother of Nobel Prize winning novelist Thomas Mann. Despite his name and literary stature, Heinrich Mann remained virtually unknown in this country. By contrast, in pre-Hitler Germany, Heinrich had been both respected by fellow writers and popular with readers, perhaps even more so than his brother.
