  • The German-American Bund: Fifth Column Or
    -41 THE GERMAN-AMERICAN BUND: FIFTH COLUMN OR DEUTSCHTUM? THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By James E. Geels, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1975 Geels, James E., The German-American Bund: Fifth Column or Deutschtum? Master of Arts (History), August, 1975, 183 pp., bibliography, 140 titles. Although the German-American Bund received extensive press coverage during its existence and monographs of American politics in the 1930's refer to the Bund's activities, there has been no thorough examination of the charge that the Bund was a fifth column organization responsible to German authorities. This six-chapter study traces the Bund's history with an emphasis on determining the motivation of Bundists and the nature of the relationship between the Bund and the Third Reich. The conclusions are twofold. First, the Third Reich repeatedly discouraged the Bundists and attempted to dissociate itself from the Bund. Second, the Bund's commitment to Deutschtum through its endeavors to assist the German nation and the Third Reich contributed to American hatred of National Socialism.

  • The Wartime Treatment Study Act Is Historically Inaccurate and an Unreliable Guide for the Future”
    Congressional Testimony on Wartime Treatment Study Act John Fonte, Ph.D. Senior Fellow and Director of the Center for American Common Culture Hudson Institute House Judiciary Committee Immigration Subcommittee Rayburn 2237 March 19, 2009 “The Wartime Treatment Study Act is historically inaccurate and an unreliable guide for the future” Thank you Madam Chairman and Ranking Member King. To begin with many historical facts cited in the Wartime Treatment Study Act are wrong. It is charged that the actions of the government of Franklin D Roosevelt’s during World War II had a “devastating” impact on Italian-American communities whose “detrimental” effects “are still being experienced.” I am an Italian American and for decades visited many relatives in a lot of “little Italys” through our country. There is no evidence that Italian-American communities were “devastated.” No proof has been offered in this bill of any “devastated” Italian American community. The FBI rightly picked up those Italian aliens and Italian-American citizens, who were pro-Fascist and those German aliens and German-American citizens who were pro-Nazi, like members of the German American Bund, the German-American Settlement League and participants in the pro-Nazi Camp Siegfried in New York state. They were a relatively small number of people. My grandparents and hundreds of thousands of other resident aliens (at that point, enemy aliens) were not disturbed. About 11, 000 people of German ancestry (mostly aliens) and around 3, 500 to 1, 500 people of Italian ancestry (mostly aliens) were interned, These numbers are disputed, but, in any case, they are small compared to the huge German-American and Italian American populations in the United States that were overwhelmingly loyal and deeply involved in the wartime struggle.

  • Fascism and Right-Wing Extremism in Pennsylvania, 1933-1942
    31 "It Can't Happen Here": Fascism and Right-Wing Extremism in Pennsylvania, 1933-1942 Philip Jenkins The Pennsylvania State University 1The local history of American fascism remains to be written.' If we con- sider the numerous books on fascism and fascist movements written over the last half century, there is an elaborate historiography for virtually every fringe move- ment in most countries of Europe and the Americas, with the conspicuous excep- tion of the United States.2 However, it would be misleading to suggest that Ameri- cans were singularly lucky in escaping this particular political temptation. In real- ity, between about 1920 and 1945, fascist groups of every tendency flourished in the United States and often achieved significant popular support. As the nation approached what seemed inevitable participation in the Second World War, the degree of support for far-Right movements caused great concern both on the po- litical Left and in law enforcement agencies. There were a number of official inves- tigations and investigative exposes by journalists, who charged that the fascist-lean- ing groups were indeed conspiring with foreign governments to undertake sabo- tage and terrorist violence. The truth of such charges remains uncertain, and of course the America that entered the war was, mercifully, almost wholly free of the feared fifth column ac- tivities. However, this does not mean that the earlier investigators had been en- gaged in unsupported panic-mongering, or that the violence of which they warned might not have occurred if events had developed somewhat differently. In the late 1930s, there were millions of Americans with at least some sympathy for the cause of the Axis powers.

  • UNIONS and the MAKING of the MODERATE REPUBLICAN PARTY in NASSAU COUNTY, NEW YORK by LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYM
    LIFE OF THE PARTY: UNIONS AND THE MAKING OF THE MODERATE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN NASSAU COUNTY, NEW YORK By LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYMAN A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Dorothy Sue Cobble And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey JANUARY, 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Life of the Party: Unions and the Making of the Moderate Republican Party in Nassau County, New York By LILLIAN DUDKIEWICZ-CLAYMAN Dissertation Director: Dorothy Sue Cobble Since county incorporation in 1899, the Nassau County Republican Party has identified with the moderate wing of the party. A key component of its moderate views lies in its support of workers and organized labor. This dissertation describes the evolution of the partnership between organized labor and the Nassau Republican Party and shows how organized labor contributed to the emergence of a strong political Republican machine. Support for organized labor became necessary to the survival and success of the Nassau County Republicans. At the same time, I argue, organized labor thrived in Nassau County in part because of its partnership with moderate Republicans. This mutually beneficial interaction continued into the twenty-first century, maintaining the Nassau County Republican Party as moderates even as the national GOP has moved to the extreme right. Historians and scholars have studied the history of the Nassau County Republican Party and its rise as a powerful political machine.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida May 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee, Dr. Patricia Kollander, Dr. Ben Lowe, and Dr. Marianne Sanua. Each of them opened my mind to the complexities and perplexities of the historical experience. Their passion for their chosen vocation ignited an even greater passion in me to question, to analyze, to synthesize, and to arrive at my own conclusions. Due to the influence of my professors, I will never look at history the same way again. With the deepest love and with the greatest respect, I would like to thank my wife, Yisca, who came into my life from a far-off land and who has supported my goals and objectives from the first. She continues to motivate me with her positive attitude and her effervescence. Never was the adage, “Behind every successful man is a good woman” more true. “Ayshes chayil mi yimtzo, v‟rochok mip‟ninim michroh.” Finally, I would like to acknowledge with love and with admiration my brother, Dr. David M. Kopp, who has helped guide me and has acted in the capacity of touchstone throughout my life. He has given unselfishly of his time and of his intellect in helping me to achieve my dreams. iii ABSTRACT Author: Eliot A.
