Holocaust and Trauma in Film and Literature, UNLV ENG 477A/FILM 495 Holocaust and Trauma in Film and Literature Roberta Sabbath, Ph.D. T/Th 2:30-3:45 pm Rm: TBD Office: CDC-C323: Hours: TBD Phone: 702-895-5823--office hours only Phone: 609 - 652 - 4302 [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION Catalogue: Comparative study of the relations of prose, poetry, and drama to the structure and themes of the cinema, from Dickens to the present. Elie Wiesel has asserted that “Auschwitz represents the negation and failure of human progress; it negates the human design and casts doubts on its validity. Then, it defeated culture; later, it defeated art, because just as no one could imagine Auschwitz before Auschwitz, no one can now retell Auschwitz after Auschwitz.” In his view, only documentary footage, carefully researched history, and the testimony of survivors can convey a semblance of what happened during the Holocaust within the limitations imposed by empathy, images, language, and reason to communicate its horrors. Yet authors and directors of films have portrayed how and why the Holocaust was implemented by its perpetrators and their accomplices, tolerated by the majority of bystanders residing in countries ruled by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, ignored or relegated to a secondary priority by the leaders of the Allied and neutral nations, and resisted by a minority of individuals and organized groups. Filmmakers and writers have depicted it felt for the Jews and other victims of the Third Reich to be persecuted, confined, enslaved, and robbed of their dignity in ghettos and camps where death was always imminent, evading captivity, or resisting the regimes that sought their eradication. Novels and movies also have explored the postwar repercussions of the Holocaust for those guilty of participating in it, those who survived it, and the citizens of countries where its memory was initially repressed and has been gradually rediscovered. This course will compare and contrast how historically accurate, emotionally moving, and thought-provoking documents, documentaries, feature films, fictional stories, and memoirs can be in evoking the cruelty and rationales of those implicated in Nazi genocide, how the victims of the extermination policies coped with their fear, rage, and suffering, during their ordeals, and the legal, psychological, political, and religious impact the Holocaust continues to exert on posterity. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of this class, you should be: • Identify the major events and causes of the Holocaust, the motivations of its perpetrators, collaborators, bystanders, victims, and resisters, and its postwar impact. • Analyze the ethical, historical, and philosophical implications of portraying what happened during the Holocaust in documentary films, feature films and fiction. • Extrapolate how Holocaust iconography and tropes from newsreels, documentaries, eyewitness accounts, and secondary sources are referenced in fiction and feature films to 1 establish a sense of historical authenticity, evoke affective and cognitive responses, and draw analogies between what he Holocaust and current human rights abuses and genocides. • Analyze and explain the typical changes [condensing timeframes, creating binary oppositions, generalizing, inventing characters and dialogue, imposing edifying endings, personalizing collective experiences, sanitizing the horrors, symbolizing , trivializing, and universalizing the Jewish and Sinti ordeals employed by filmmakers when they dramatize historical events from the Holocaust or adapt literary sources about it to produce their movies. • Synthesize how cinematic (visual) and literary (writing) styles and techniques differ. • Assess and evaluate the various portraits and lenses through which the Holocaust is understood, portrayed, and referenced in our assigned literature and movies in this course READINGS: DB=Doris L.

  • Four Sermons in Defiance of the Nazis
    Four Sermons in Defiance of the Nazis Preached During 1941 by Bischop von Galen of Münster 2 Clemens August, Count von Galen Clemens August, Count von Galen, was born on 16th March 1878 in Burg Dinklage in Oldenburg. As the eleventh of thirteen children he grew up in the safeness of a deeply religious family. He attended the secondary school of the Jesuits in Feldkirch and obtained his leaving certificate at Vechta in 1896. After studying philosophy at Fribourg (Switzerland) for a short period, he resolved to become a priest. He was a student of theology in Innsbruck and Münster and was ordained on 18th March 1904 in Münster. After his ordination he became first a minor canon of Münster Cathedral. At the same time he was commissioned to accompany his uncle, Suffragan Bishop Maximilian Gereon, Count von Galen, on his journeys to conduct confirmations. In 1906 he became chaplain of St Matthias’ Church in Berlin. This was for him the beginning of 23 years of pastoral work in the capital of the Reich. After several years as curate of St Clement’s he was appointed parish priest of St Matthias in 1919. In Berlin he lived through the difficult times of the First World War, the troubled post-war period and a great part of the Weimar Republic. Great demands were made upon him by the diaspora situation in Berlin. In 1929 Clemens August von Galen was called back into the diocese of Münster and appointed parish priest of St Lambert’s Church in Münster. After the death of Bishop Johannes Poggenburg, Clemens August von Galen was made Bishop of Münster.

    The Assimilation of Tikkun Olam Levi Cooper 1. An elusive term 2. Liturgy 3. Legislation 4. Mysticism 5. Political involvement, social justice, activism 6. Banner for liberal American Jewry 7. American value 8. Imported ideal 9. Expanding the umbrella 10. Critique of the catch-all 11. How to repair the world Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2385947 The Assimilation of Tikkun Olam Levi Cooper1 “Tikkun olam” is most commonly heard as a slogan for activism, political involvement, and social justice. The term has had numerous lives, such that its endurance and malleability over time are truly impressive. It has been used as a pliable legislative justification for changing specific laws and as an eschatological ideal that may describe a human process or the divine end. It has had practical implications for some, and mystical connotations for others. In the twentieth century the term tikkun olam has been used in reference to Jewish political involvement, or to argue for abstinence from any political participation whatsoever. More recently it has become a banner, bandied around for almost any value, including energy conservation, recycling, government health care packages, the fight against terrorism, better nutrition, looking after stray animals, and the list goes on. This paper will touch on the main waystations of the term, starting with a brief look at the term’s etymology, and journeying from rabbinic literature to modern times. This whistle stop tour will provide an overview of the vicissitudes of the term tikkun olam, and will demonstrate how it has come to connote a disparate array of values.

  • Defiance County Health Department
    Defiance County Community Health Status Assessment 2018 Examining the Health of Defiance County FOREWORD Once again on behalf of the POWER Defiance County Coalition, I am pleased to present the 2018 Defiance County Community Health Assessment Report. This report is the fifth community health assessment conducted by various social service, business, and government organizations in Defiance County in an effort to collect data reporting the health and health behaviors of Defiance County residents. Data was collected for this assessment with the assistance of the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio. Monitoring the health of local residents to identify community health problems is an essential public health service. This health status assessment should be used as a guide for strategic planning and decision making. It can help our communities identify new health concerns, measure the impact of current community improvement efforts, and guide the judicious use of local resources. However, this is only one planning tool. A true plan of action for community improvement will require taking a closer look at these survey results; seeking additional information from community residents, service providers, and others; identifying populations at risk for specific health conditions, and choosing effective strategies that will truly improve the health of Defiance County residents when put into action. This report would not have been possible without the help of members of the POWER Defiance County Coalition as well as the groups who contributed financially. Both are acknowledged on the following pages. It is vital that assessments such as this continue so that scarce resources are used in the most advantageous ways.

I had not worked with Dr. Hagemann before this process; she took a chance on me by becoming my advisor. I thought that I would be unable to pursue an honors thesis. By being my advisor, she made this experience possible. Her interest and dedication to my work exceeded my expectations. My thesis greatly benefited from her input. Thank you, Dr. Hagemann, for your generosity with your time and genuine interest in this thesis and its success. Thank you to Dr. Fitz Brundage for his helpful comments and willingness to be my second reader. I would also like to thank Dr. Michelle King for her valuable suggestions and support throughout this process. I am very grateful for Dr. Hagemann and Dr. King. Thank you both for keeping me motivated and believing in my work. Thank you to my roommates, Julia Wunder, Waverly Leonard, and Jamie Antinori, for being so supportive. They understood when I could not be social and continued to be there for me. They saw more of the actual writing of this thesis than anyone else. Thank you for being great listeners and wonderful friends. Thank you also to my parents, Joe and Krista Brady, for their unwavering encouragement and trust in my judgment. I would also like to thank my sister, Mahlon Brady, for being willing to hear about subjects that are out of her sphere of interest.

A Polish Jew, Gerda Weissmann lived six years under German rule. It was a time when Jews were stigmatized, discriminated against, harassed and beaten. Their houses of worship were burned; their places of business, looted. They were driven from their homes, imprisoned in ghettos and forced to work in slave-labor camps. And they were murdered — some where they lived, town by town, person by person; others in death camps, where millions were gassed in an assembly-line process that mimicked the great factories of industrialized Europe.
