  • Applying What We Have Learned
    Appendix APPLYING WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED Always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do some- thing to bring some portion of misery to an end. —Syracuse Cultural Workers1 Shortly after the September 11, 2001, tragedy, one of the authors of this book heard a moral tale about a child who came to her grandfather indig- nant over an injustice she had experienced. “What shall I do, grandfa- ther?” she asked. Her grandfather replied, “I have two wolves inside me. One gets very angry when I have been treated unfairly and it wants to hit back, to hurt the one who hurt me. The other wolf also gets angry when I have been unfairly treated, but it wants justice and peace more than any- thing, and it wants to heal the rift between me and my aggressor.” “Which wolf wins, grandfather?” the little girl asked. “The one I feed,” he replied. If by reading this book you have been inspired by the stories of the courageous individuals and groups, but you have wondered if you could ever have that kind of courage, you are not alone. We wonder also. We cannot help but be appalled at the perpetrators of evil we have read about in this book, nor can we help admiring the courageous resistors about whom we have learned. But it is easy to separate ourselves from both groups. We may say to ourselves, “Surely I would never kill children as did the Nazis, or force pregnant women to take dangerous drugs just to 166 COURAGEOUS RESISTANCE boost my overtime pay,” as some U.S.

  • Running Head: ROSENSTRASSE 1 Rosenstrasse: Holocaust Education Through Role Play Jessica Hammer Carnegie Mellon University
    Running head: ROSENSTRASSE 1 Rosenstrasse: Holocaust Education Through Role Play Jessica Hammer Carnegie Mellon University Moyra Turkington Unruly Designs Nathan LeBlanc Carnegie Mellon University ROSENSTRASSE 2 Abstract Rosenstrasse is a digitally augmented tabletop role-playing game for four players and a facilitator. Players take the role of Jews and Aryans in mixed marriages living in Berlin between 1933 and 1943; the game culminates in the eponymous protests by Aryan women to free their Jewish husbands. In this paper, we describe key game design challenges encountered in developing a Holocaust-based role-playing game, and how we addressed them. How could players with little historical context participate successfully in the game? What were the risks of players getting the history wrong? Would players accept limits on their agency, and what conclusions would they draw from it? Could we make the connections between characters feel real, meaningful, and motivating in only a few hours? We conclude by sharing preliminary evidence for the game’s impact, and by considering some of the challenges of deployment. Keywords: game design, history, Holocaust, activism ROSENSTRASSE 3 Rosenstrasse: Holocaust Education Through Role Play A key opportunity in game design is to have players take on alternate identities (Klopfer, Osterweil, & Salen, 2009). These identities can broaden our perspectives, for example by revealing the lost and forgotten histories of women, by centering marginalized historical experiences, and by providing a multiplicity of perspectives rather than a single dominant narrative. Walter Benjamin called this process “brushing history against the grain” (Benjamin, 2005), and it is equally critical today. Brushing history against the grain is a political act meant to allow us to re-imagine our past, understand our present, and create our future.

  • Book REVIEWS
    BooK REVIEWS Tbe Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets. By Helen Vendler. Cambridge, MA: Harvard UP, 1997. x, 672 pages. $35.00 US. The academic consensus, which on this issue at least includes some very tough-minded types, is that Helen Vencller is our best reader of poeny. This encounter between Best Reader and Best Writer does not disappoint, though it will irritate some and bemuse others: irritate because it offers apt objections to some recent commentary on the sonnets, and validates those objections by wickedly relevant citation, and because of the ·line in the sand' it draws: ·'I do not regard as literary criticism any set of remarks about a poem which would be equally true of its paraphrasable propositional content." It will bemuse some because of its density, the difficulty of its ideas, and the changing modes of attack necessary to avoid redundancy in the discussion of all 154 sonnets. but it will bemuse especially because of what Vencller acknowledges as an off-putting use of diagrams in an effort to be succinct. (Characteristically, Vendler suggests that those put off by diagrams simply ignore them.) For all this Tbe Art of Shakespeare's Sonnets will disappoint very few. First, it is three books in one: a reprint of the 1609 Quarto; Vendler's own 11ew edition, a diplomatic text of the sonnets; and a collection of essays on each. In addition there's a bonus, a compact disk with Vendler's 'performance' of some of the best known pieces. Offering these readings is insightful and daring rather than self-indulgent.

  • The Factory Action and the Events at the Rosenstrasse in Berlin: Facts and Fictions About 27 February 1943 — Sixty Years Later
    The Factory Action and the Events at the Rosenstrasse in Berlin: Facts and Fictions about 27 February 1943 — Sixty Years Later Wolf Gruner N 27 February 1943 in Nazi Germany the Gestapo brutally arrested more than ten thousand Jewish men and women. Martin Riesen- burger, later the Chief Rabbi of the German Democratic Republic, O 1 recalled that day as "the great inferno." This large-scale raid marked the begin- ning of the final phase of the mass deportations, which had been under way since October 1941. Also interned in Berlin were people who, according to NS termi- nology, lived in so-called mixed marriages. But new documents show that no deportation of this special group was planned by the Gestapo. In the past dec- ade, in both the German as well as the American public, quite a bit of attention has been paid to the fact that non-Jewish relatives publicly demonstrated against the feared deportation of their Jewish partners. The scholarly literature as well has pictured this protest as a unique act of resistance that prevented the depor- tation of these Jews living in mixed marriages. The fact that during this raid an untold number of Jews, both women and men, fled and went underground has so far been ignored. Since we still know much too little, the following article will discuss all the events of the spring of 1943 and their background.2 Memory and History Since the beginning of the 1990s, this "successful" protest during the NS dic- tatorship has been commemorated in Germany annually. Especially in Berlin, Translated by Ursula Marcum.

For more information, please contact [email protected] THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF CRIMINOLOGY & CRIMINAL JUSTICE THE EDELWEISS PIRATES: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY By RYAN REILLY A thesis submitted to the College of Criminology & Criminal Justice in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with Honors in the Major Degree Awarded: Spring, 2016 Abstract The Edelweiss Pirates were teenagers who came together in and around Cologne during the Third Reich to escape the discipline and control of the Hitler Youth. Among other activities, members would gather in the evenings and take trips on the weekends; some members also assaulted Hitler Youth patrols and distributed Allied propaganda. For years, scholars and other authorities have debated whether the Edelweiss Pirates should be categorized as anti-Nazi resisters or juvenile delinquents. However, there are perhaps no objectively correct answers, which stems in part from ambiguity in assessing the motives, ideologies, and behaviors exhibited by members of the group. Moreover, historical understanding of the group is limited. This thesis thus seeks to increase and contribute to that understanding. This is accomplished through comprehensive searches of ten German archives, and analyses of the relevant archived materials: police records, government reports, newspaper articles, scholarly literature, and other obscure sources.

  • “Resettlement”: Deportees As the Freight of The
    – Chapter 2 – RESETTLEMENT Deportees as the Freight of the Final Solution n his article, “German Railroads/Jewish Souls,” Raul Hilberg asked: I “How can railways be regarded as anything more than physical equip- ment that was used, when the time came, to transport the Jews from various cities to shooting grounds and gas chambers in Eastern Europe?”1 The rail- roads were a formative scholarly preoccupation for Hilberg, who trawled the archives, “pondering the special trains, the assembly of their rolling stock, their special schedules, and their financing.”2 He concluded that in the hands of bureaucrats and technocrats, the railroads metamorphosed, becoming a “live organism” that “acted in concert with Germany’s military, industry, or SS to make German history.”3 The deadly use of railways was history making for Germany, and marked “the end of the Jewish people in Europe.”4 The historian Alfred Mierzejewski has estimated that the end of the Jews was achieved in no more than 2,000 trains. The use of those 2,000 trains, supplied mainly from the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRB), the Ostbahn (Polish railways), and other national carriers was, according to Mierzejew- ski, insignificant in relation to other wartime demands for rail traffic.5 The quantitative insignificance of this traffic is, however, historically unprece- dented. Although trains and their wartime uses have a historical relation- ship before World War II, the use of trains for death camp transports was a critical enabler of the Nazis’ genocidal ambition. Without the involvement of trains, the murderous pace of killing in the camps would be undeniably diminished, as would be the number of Jewish victims who now perpetually rest in the figure of six million.
