Eighth Concert Fifteenth Annual Chamber Arts Series Complete Programs 4121 About the Artists England's internationally famous Amadeus Quartet has become one of America's favorite chamber music ensembles since its United States debut in 1952. Although their home base is in London, only one member of the Quartet, Martin Lovett, is a native Englishman. His colleagues, Norbert Brainin, Siegmund Nissel, and Peter Schidlof, are Austrian-born and received their early training in Vienna. To escape the oppressive Nazi regime, the families moved to England in 1938. In spite of such parallel events, they did not meet until 1941 when all four boys, employed in various war factories, were pursuing their music studies under Max Rostal. Thus began the association which led to the iormation of a permanent quartet, with their first public appearance in 1948.

    REDEFINING HEIMAT: Language and the Search for Homeland in Modern German Jewish Writing by CHARLOTTE SCHALLM B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1998 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of History) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard^ THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October 1999 © Charlotte Schallie, 1999 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Oc-hrC-er j2} /?<?^ DE-6 (2/88) 11 Abstract The example of Jewish writers living in post-Shoah Germany can be taken as a case study for the ways in which language creates a homeland—a Heimat. Because the concept of Heimat lies outside the realm of national affiliations, German-speaking Jews have been able to redefine and establish a German homeland without having to associate themselves with the German national state. Heimat in language creates an environment which they can—for the most part—safely inhabit. Since the heterogeneous Jewish population of postwar Germany lacked a well-defined identity, German Jewish authors born or raised after 1945 needed a new way to find a sense of belonging.

  • Transitions from Nazism to Socialism: Grassroots Responses to Punitive and Rehabilitative Measures in Brandenburg, 1945-1952
    Transitions from Nazism to Socialism: Grassroots Responses to Punitive and Rehabilitative Measures in Brandenburg, 1945-1952 Doctoral Thesis of Julie Nicole Deering-Kraft University College London PhD in History 1 Declaration I, Julie Nicole Deering-Kraft, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This study examines transitions from Nazism to socialism in Brandenburg between 1945 and 1952. It explores the grassroots responses and their relative implications within the context of both punitive and rehabilitative measures implemented by the Soviet Military Administration (SMAD) and the communist Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). The present study is based on archival and oral history sources and addresses two main research questions: First, in what ways did people at the grassroots attempt to challenge the imposition of punitive measures, and did their responses have any effect on the manner in which these policies were implemented at a grassroots level? These punitive measures were designed to remove remnants of Nazism and included punitive Soviet practices, Soviet NKVD camps and denazification and sequestering. Second, to what extent did grassroots Brandenburgers participate in political organisations which were designed to integrate East Germans during the rehabilitative stage and what impact did these responses have on the post-war transition? This study focuses on the National Democratic Party and the Society for German-Soviet Friendship as well as examining wider factors which may have impeded and facilitated the processes of post-war transitions. Two main arguments are proposed.
