Les historiens ont consacré d'innombrables études à presque tous les aspects de cette guerre. On sait aussi que ce conflit a eu un impact dévastateur sur les Vietnamiens; mais il a aussi divisé beaucoup d'intellectuels quant au bien-fondé de l'intervention occidentale au Vietnam. Très peu étudié est une poignée d'intellectuels européens installés aux États-Unis, qui signèrent en anglais les premières histoires du Vietnam et des guerres qui ont marqué son passé. Ce mémoire prend comme étude de cas le parcours singulier et engagé d'un historien européen du Vietnam, Joseph Buttinger. Comme tant d'autres intellectuels européens installés en Amérique du Nord, la Seconde Guerre mondiale a profondément marqué la vie de Buttinger. Dès son plus jeune âge, il adhère au parti socialiste autrichien, il prend position contre les Nazis dans les années 1930 et entre dans la résistance pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale (1939-1945). Son antifascisme se traduit par une hostilité pour toutes formes de totalitarisme, dont le communisme; ce qui explique sa décision de partir en Indochine aider les réfugiés fuyant le communisme dans le Vietnam du Nord en 1954. Durant les années 1950, Buttinger baigne dans la culture, l'histoire ainsi que les problèmes politiques du Vietnam. Buttinger s'installe donc aux États-Unis au moment où Washington intervient davantage dans le Vietnam. À la différence de beaucoup d'intellectuels de gauche aux États-Unis, qui prennent position contre la politique américaine et leur partenaire vietnamien, Ngo Dinh Diem, Buttinger, de par son parcours européen durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et son hostilité pour toute forme de totalitarisme, soutient le gouvernement de Ngo Dinh Diem, du moins au début. Mais au fur et à mesure que la guerre continue, il adopte une ligne plus critique envers la République et la politique américaine jusqu'à devenir un détracteur de l'intervention américaine au Vietnam. Ce mémoire se divise en 3 parties distinctes; la première porte sur l'éveil intellectuel de Joseph Buttinger, la naissance d'un intellectuel engagé. La seconde s'intéresse au Sud Vietnam et à l'apogée du support que Ngo Dinh Diem reçoit des Americans Friends of Vietnam, dont Buttinger est l'un des membres fondateurs. La dernière section aborde la radicalisation de la Guerre du Vietnam et la décision de Buttinger de faire volteface et de dénoncer l'intervention américaine au Vietnam. Notre but est de comprendre le cheminement de Joseph Buttinger en tant qu'intellectuel engagé.

Claudia Kuretsidis- Haider und Christine Schindler im Auftrag des Dokumentationsarchivs des österreichischen Widerstandes und der Zentralen österreichischen Foschungsstelle Nachkriegsjustiz, Wien 2017 115 Günter Bischof “Busy with Refugee Work” Joseph Buttinger, Muriel Gardiner, and the Saving of Austrian Refugees, 1940–1941 At a time when Austria is experiencing political turbulences over the current “refugee crisis” of Syrian, Near Eastern and African asylum seekers, looking for a safe haven in Europe from the political turmoil in their regions, it might be worthwhile remembering that there were times in the twentieth century when Austrian refugees survived in similarly tumultuous situations with sup- port from the “kindness of strangers.” Joseph Buttinger (1906–1992) and his wealthy American wife Muriel Gardiner (1901–1965) personally helped hun- dreds of Austrian Socialists and Jews (often both) persecuted by the Dollfuss- Schuschnigg regimes and the Nazis to get out of Austria – and later Europe – to save their lives. They were generous in helping to provide the necessary immi- gration papers and funds for refugees to start a new life in the United States. After the end of World War II they supported a hundred or so families with CARE packages over several years. The Buttingers became shining examples of professional and humanitarian refugee workers. Their empathetic “refugee work” stands as a paragon of humanitarian aid for our days as well. Joseph Buttinger was born in Bavaria in 1906 and grew up in great poverty in Upper Austria. His father worked in various odd jobs and as a miner and fought on the Dolomite front in World War I; he died after being wounded.

  • Joseph Buttinger 2
    Thinking Cosmopolitan or How Joseph became Joe Buttinger1 Introduction “Mr. Buttinger was such a hero that if he had returned he would have become Chancellor.“ The former Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky on Joseph Buttinger 2 On May 27, 1932, the Austrian parliament approved a new government that should change the democratic course the country had pursued since the end of the First World War. The new chancellor Engelbert Dollfuß now was in charge of the country’s leadership. On October 1, he used a so‐called “emergency degree”, a wartime relict, to rule the country without the approbation of the Austrian parliament.3 That was the hour of birth of Austria’s first dictatorship. The consequences for the people were fatal. Unliebsame Personen as “unpleasing” persons were called at that time had more and more problems living a normal life. Particularly intellectuals who were engaged in the ideas of psychoanalysis, neopositivism, or austromarxism (socialism) had to fear reprisals from the government.4 Life became very hard for the government’s opponents, but for most of these persons, the situation turned from bad to worse with the incorporation of Austria into Hitler’s German Reich in 1938. So‐called “enemies of the government” were forced to emigrate ‐ and many of them did so. According to a 1941 Office of Strategic Service memorandum, more than 40.000 Austrians had immigrated to the United States during the three years since the “Anschluss” in 1938.5 This paper is about one of those who emigrated as a result of ideological reasons. It describes the life of the former Socialist leader, International Rescue Comitee (IRC) founding member, and writer Joseph Buttinger who had to flee his native country to 1 I would like to thank the Botstiber Foundation for its generous support of my work at the University of New Orleans.

  • Staging Democracy: South Vietnam's 1955 Referendum to Depose Bao
    Staging Democracy: South Vietnam’s 1955 Referendum to Depose Bao Dai On 23 October 1955, South Vietnam’s citizens took to the polls to choose between the country’s obsolete Emperor and its far -from-popular Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem. Government propaganda told them that Emperor Bao Dai was a treacherous, slovenly womanizer who amounted to nothing more than a shackle on Vietnam’s development. Diem, on the other hand, promised to usher in a new and glorious era in Vietnam’s history marked by democracy, self -determination, and individual rights. Newly available evidence from Vietnamese archives demonstrates that this referendum should be viewed as an important cultural and political moment for South Vietnam. It exerted a lasting influence on politics belo w the 17th parallel and on the diplomatic relationship between the United States and South Vietnam. Historians and observers to date, however, have interpreted the October 1955 vote almost exclusively from within the American lens, which has led to a seri es of incomplete conclusions about the nature and significance of the event. Such America -centric scholarship in absence of similar studies on South Vietnam has prevented a thorough scholarly understanding of the complex nature of America’s ally in the Vie tnam War. Further research into Saigon’s internal politics is therefore necessary to enable historians to conduct an informed reassessment of American officials’ perceptions and policies. Until the early 1990s, the most thorough descriptions of Diem’s re ferendum to depose Bao Dai were penned by journalists or appeared in political memoirs, and thus cannot be considered scholarly accounts of the event.
