  • PHS News Recommendations
    1 completed their deliberations and made their PHS News recommendations. I hope you will join me in thanking all the members of those July 2017 committees for the important work they have done so well. This includes: DeBenedetti Prize Committee: Rachel Newsletter of the Waltner Goossen (Chair), Andy Barbero, Peace History Society and Erika Kuhlman www.peacehistorysociety.org Scott Bills Prize Committee: Kevin Callahan (Chair), Chuck Howlett, and Elizabeth Agnew Elise Boulding Prize Committee: Mona Siegel (Chair), Michael Clinton, Doug Rossinow Lifetime Achievement Award Committee: Robbie Lieberman (Chair), Leilah Danielson, and Scott Bennett In 2015 I served on the Scott Bills Prize Committee and two of the things I took away from that experience were, first, the conscientiousness and hard work that the committee members put into their President’s Column considerations and second, the impressive array of work that is being done by many different scholars in furthering the study of peace. It gives me hope in a time when hope is sometimes hard to find. The prize winners will be announced at our fall conference in October. This brings me to more good work that members of the Society are doing. “Muted Voices: Conscience, Dissent, Resistance, and Civil Liberties in World War I through Today” will take place October 19-22, 2017 at the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri. This promises to be a stimulating and enriching event that includes a musical performance, keynote addresses, paper presentations, and Deborah Buffton a memorial service remembering Although we are fully into summer, the Peace History Society continues to be Table of Contents – see page 3 busy with its work.

  • 1 Women in the German Revolution, 1918/1919 Helen L Boak Paper
    Women in the German Revolution, 1918/1919 Helen L Boak Paper given at the International Rosa Luxemburg Society Conference ‘Rosa Luxemburg and Her Ideas: Engaging the Left and Impacting the World’ in Chicago on 28 April, 2018. In the early hours of Saturday, 9 November 1918, Cläre Casper-Derfert, a manual worker and member of Germany’s Independent Social Democratic Party (Unabhängige Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, USPD) who had been on the Action Committee during the January 1918 strike, woke up a fellow party member, Arthur Schöttler, with the words, ‘Get up, Arthur, today is revolution!’ They had been tasked with distributing leaflets to workers going into the first shift at the munitions factory on Kaiserin-Augusta-Allee in Charlottenburg, Berlin, asking them to down tools at 9 am, and join a demonstration into the city centre.1. They were to join thousands of other workers, soldiers and sailors converging on the city in processions, which included, observers noted, large numbers of women and children.2. The presence of large numbers of proletarian women among the marchers would have come as no surprise to the authorities, who would have become accustomed to women protesting publicly about the deficiencies in the food provisioning system from late October 1915, and participating in the waves of strikes that shook German industry in spring 1917 and January 1918.3. Benjamin Ziemann has, however, claimed that ‘When the revolution came in 1918, its gender was male’ and, indeed, the historiography of the German revolution is overwhelmingly male, with the notable exception of Rosa Luxemburg.4. And yet, it is now over forty years since Bill Pelz claimed that if it had not been for proletarian women, ‘there might have been no revolution in Germany’.5.

  • Jewish Flight from the Bohemian Lands, 1938-1941
    NETWORKS OF ESCAPE: JEWISH FLIGHT FROM THE BOHEMIAN LANDS, 1938-1941 Laura E. Brade A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Christopher R. Browning Chad Bryant Konrad Jarausch Donald Raleigh Susan Pennybacker Karen Auerbach © 2017 Laura E. Brade ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Laura E. Brade: Networks of Escape: Jewish Flight from the Bohemian Lands, 1938- 1941 (Under the direction of Christopher R. Browning and Chad Bryant) This dissertation tells the remarkable of a quarter of the Jewish population of Bohemia and Moravia who managed to escape Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia between October 1938 and October 1941. Given all of the obstacles to emigration—an occupation government, a world war, international reluctance to grant visas, and extortionist Nazi emigration policies—this amounted to an extraordinary achievement. Czechoslovak Jews scattered across the globe, from Shanghai and India, to Madagascar and Ecuador. How did they accomplish this daunting task? The current scholarship has approached this question from the perspectives of governments, voluntary organizations, and individual refugees. However, by addressing the various actors in isolation, much of this research has focused either on condemning or heroizing these actors. As a result, the question of how Jewish refugees fled Europe has gone unanswered. Using the Bohemian Lands as a case study, I ask when and how rescue became possible. I make three major claims. First, I argue that a grassroots transnational network of escape facilitated leaving Nazi-occupied Europe.

  • Women's International League for Peace and Freedom Throughout
    Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom Throughout the Years 1915—1920 — Starting Strong — [28 – 30 April 1915]: During the first World War an International Congress of Women brought together 1300 women in The Hague (The Netherlands), in her opening address Aletta Jacobs said: “It has … been asserted that we should have limited our programme to a mere pro- test against war and that claims for woman suffrage were out of place on a programme of a peace conference. Those of us who have convened this Congress however have never called it a Peace Congress, but an In- ternational Congress of Women assembled to protest against war and to suggest steps which may lead to warfare being an impossibility.” 1915 1300 Women write history The International Committee of Women for Permanent Peace (ICWPP) was set up with Jane Addams (USA) as president and Aletta Jacobs (the Netherlands) as vice chair to work towards a just and lasting peace. [1915 - 1919]: A delegation of five WILPF members visited several Heads of States from 1915 onwards to work towards long lasting peace. National ICWPP sections in 24 countries opposed aggressive policies of their governments. [1916]: Picture left : Demonstration against military drilling in schools in New York Jane Addams (left) & Aletta Jacobs (right) [May 1919]: The 137 women at the second ICWPP congress (in Zurich) pressured for alignment with Wil- son’s Fourteen Points. The ICWPP became the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) and went on to endorse the idea of a League of Nations as well as call for international famine relief.
