All of them, however, show that the AreaStudies Program for theThird-Level to Institute was an active undertaking,enabling the participants The come into closecontact with Germany'andthe Germans. possibility of such contactbad been the primary reasonfor establishing this institute inGermany rather than inthe United States.

A few words must be said about ourintentions in estblishing the Third-Level Area Studies Program. Those of our participants who were in Bad Boll in 1961 or1962 had worked on the Second-Level Area Studies Report, investigating the everydaylife of a cross section of the population of a fairly restricted area,traveling no further than Stuttgart, Sindelfingen, Geislingen, orGiippingen. For the third level, we felt, this was not enough. The third-level participants were to be a much morehighly selected group, and wewanted to attempt to give them at least an impression,if not a complete understanding, of Germany as a whole.We wanted to try to find out inwhich direction Germany is moving, to see if wecould not get an inkling of what Germany might be like three, five,ten years hence, and we wanted to know how this new

Baker M.A., Bowling Green State University, 2000 M.A., Karl Franzens University, Graz, Austria, 1998 Committee Chair: Katharina Gerstenberger ABSTRACT “The Return of the Child Exile: Re-enactment of Childhood Trauma in Jewish Life- Writing and Documentary Film” is a study of the literary responses of writers who were Jewish children in hiding and exile during World War II and of documentary films on the topic of refugee children and children in exile. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the relationships between trauma, memory, fantasy and narrative in a close reading/viewing of different forms of Jewish life-writing and documentary film by means of a scientifically informed approach to childhood trauma. Chapter 1 discusses the reception of Binjamin Wilkomirski’s Fragments (1994), which was hailed as a paradigmatic traumatic narrative written by a child survivor before it was discovered to be a fictional text based on the author’s invented Jewish life-story.

Then I have the book for you my friend. Just look up Melkastors "The chronopian peoples", which delivers the wise man and adventurer all the wisdom you need. If he is still alive? No. When the book arrived, he was executed for blasphemy by the emperor. Read - and maybe you will understand why.
