I merely mention ‘Brexit’ in the UK and the election of Donald Trump as next president of the US. Contrary to received opinion that history does not repeat itself, these two events starkly remind one of Neville Chamberlain’s ‘Appeasement Policy’ in 1938/39 and of Charles Lindbergh’s ‘America First’ campaign in 1941. As far as the society itself is concerned, a highly successful conference took place in early September in Toledo / Spain (cf. Friedel Schmoranzer’s report), and we are now looking forward to the next biennual Feuchtwanger Conference in Paris in October 2017.1 These pages contain a fascinating article by Roland Jaeger about the futile search for Lion Feuchtwanger’s Kleine Dramen (1905/06), Herbert Krill’s report of his recent talk on Hilde Waldo at the Villa Aurora, two review essays, and some dozen other reviews. Once more, however, the editor of the Newsletter would like to take this opportunity to appeal to the membership of the society to seriously consider contributing to its contents. Otherwise, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Jörg Thunecke, New York 1 Geoffrey V. Davis has asked me to remind members of the publication of the 2013 conference proceedings, edited by him and published under the title of Feuchtwanger and Berlin (Bern: Peter Lang, 2015; Feuchtwanger Studies 4). 4 | Page AUS DER EXILFORSCHUNG INTERNATIONALE KONFERENZ ‘DIE JÜDIN VON TOLEDO UND GOYA: SPANIENBILDER AUS DEM DEUTSCHSPRACHIGEN EXIL‘, TOLEDO, 7. – 9. SEPTEMBER 2016. Die Konferenz ‘Die Jüdin von Toledo und Goya: Spanienbilder aus dem deutschsprachigen Exil‘ (‘La judía de Toledo y Goya: imágenes de España desde el exilio alemán‘) begann am 7. September 2016 mit dem Empfang der Teilnehmer in der wunderschönen Real Fundación in Toledo. Das Museum der Fundación stellt Werke des spanischen Künstlers Victorio Macho (1887-1966) aus. Macho verließ Spanien unter der Diktatur Primo de Riveras, und die Folgen des spanischen Bürgerkrieges veranlassten ihn, längere Zeit seines Lebens im Exil in Frankreich, Russland und Lateinamerika zu verbringen. Seine Zeichnungen und Gemälde befinden sich in diesem Museum, seine Skulpturen säumen den Garten. Vor diesem Hinter- grund, und unter dem Eindruck der spektakulären Perspektive auf die Stadt Toledo hoch über dem Fluss Tajo, erwies sich die Fundación als idealer Ort für diese Konferenz. Die ungefähr dreißig Konferenzteilnehmer aus Spanien, Deutschland, der Schweiz, Österreich, Frankreich, Italien, Großbritannien und den USA wurden von Ian Wallace, dem Präsidenten der Inter- nationalen Feuchtwanger Gesellschaft, und Isabel Hernández, der Organisatorin, begrüsst. Die Themenschwerpunkte der ersten Konferenztages reichten von Lion Feuchtwangers Konzept des historischen Romanes, über seine Goyafigur, bis hin zu seinen literarischen Vorlagen, die er unter anderem bei Franz Grillparzer fand. Zudem wurde erörtert, inwieweit sein Spanienbild der Realität der beschriebenen Zeit entsprach und die Relevanz der Themen für heutige Leser. Ferner wurde geprüft, welche Bilder der sefardischen Tradition und der Jüdin von Toledo auf der Theaterbühne bekannt sind und wie sich diese verändert haben. Zudem wurde das Spanienbild Heinrich Heines, eines anderen Exil- autors, näher betrachtet. Damit wurde außerdem ein Ausblick auf die Erweiterung des Autorenkreises geboten, der neben Feuchtwanger insbesondere am zweiten und dritten Konferenztag ins Blickfeld rü- cken sollte. Nach diesen ersten Eindrücken und Vorträgen versammelten sich die Konferenzteilnehmer im El Greco Museum zur gemeinsamen Eröffnungsveranstaltung. Nach Grußworten des Bürgermeisters von Toledo, des deutschen Botschaftsrats Peter Platte aus Madrid, der Leiterin des Goethe-Instituts Madrid, Margareta Hausschild, sowie Vertretern der deutschen Fakultät der Universität Madrid, wurden in der Kapelle des El Greco Museums Passagen der Jüdin von Toledo auf Deutsch und Spanisch vorgetragen. Begleitet wurde die Lesung von der traditionellen Música Mudéjar. Der anschließende Empfang im Gar- 5 | Page ten des Museums rundete einen vielfältigen ersten Konferenztag ab und ermöglichte den aus vielen ver- schiedenen Orten angereisten Konferenzteilnehmern einen regen Gedankenaustausch. Der zweite Konferenztag widmete sich den Perspektiven anderer Exilschriftsteller, wie etwa Ernst Toller, Stefan Zweig, Reinhold Schneider, Stefan Andres, Leo Katz und Klaus Mann. Darüber hinaus wurde Thomas Manns Revision des Don Quijote näher betrachtet und seine Stellungnahmen zum Spani- schen Bürgerkrieg diskutiert. Am Abend versammelten sich die Konferenzteilnehmer, um bei einer ausführlichen Stadttour mehr über die reiche Geschichte Toledos und der unterschiedlichen Gemeinden zu erfahren. Versteckte Synagogen wurden besucht und Sagen sowie mittelalterlichen Besatzungsgeschichten auf den Grund ge- gangen. Die Zeugnisse des erfolg- und konfliktreichen Zusammenlebens der jüdischen, moslemischen und christlichen Bewohner der Stadt haben das Stadtbild geprägt wie bei kaum einer anderen Stadt die- ser Region und Größenordnung. Die Bauweise und selbst die toledanischen Souvenire aus Marzipan, der Stahl und der Schmuck erzählen von diesen unterschiedlichen kulturellen Einflüssen und Machtkämpfen. Am dritten Konferenztag wurden neben vergleichenden Überlegungen zu Flucht und Utopie deutschsprachiger Intellektueller der 1930er Jahre, insbesondere Franz Bleis Zeit im Exil sowie Albert Vi- goleis Thelens Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema Exil, betrachtet. In der Abschlussdiskussion wurden dann Anregungen gesammelt, Resümees gezogen und ein Ausblick auf die kommende Tagung der Inter- nationalen Feuchtwanger Gesellschaft 2017 in Paris gegeben. Abschließend sei zu betonen, dass Professor Isabel Hernández der Universidad de Plutense Ma- drid nicht genug Dank gezollt werden kann, diese gelungene Konferenz fast im Alleingang organisiert zu haben: ob es darum ging, die Teilnehmer zu empfangen, gemeinsame Mittagessen zu organisieren, ein geeignetes Rahmenprogramm zu gestalten oder einfach Tipps und Hilfeleistung für den Aufenthalt zu geben, unermüdlich und voller Geduld stand sie drei Tage lang allen Teilnehmern der Konferenz zur Ver- fügung. Auf der Rückreise mit dem Zug nach Madrid hatte ich noch einmal Gelegenheit, La Galiana, das von Feuchtwanger beschriebene Lustschloss, vom Abteilfenster aus zu betrachten, und ich habe mich dabei sehr dankbar für die Einladung zu dieser Konferenz gefühlt. Ich hoffe, man sieht sich bald wieder in Paris oder Los Angeles!

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

    James Bernauer, S.J. Boston College From European Anti-Jesuitism to German Anti-Jewishness: A Tale of Two Texts “Jews and Jesuits will move heaven and hell against you.” --Kurt Lüdecke, in conversation with Adolf Hitleri A Presentation at the Conference “Honoring Stanislaw Musial” Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland (March 5, 2009) The current intense debate about the significance of “political religion” as a mode of analyzing fascism leads us to the core of the crisis in understanding the Holocaust.ii Saul Friedländer has written of an “historian‟s paralysis” that “arises from the simultaneity and the interaction of entirely heterogeneous phenomena: messianic fanaticism and bureaucratic structures, pathological impulses and administrative decrees, archaic attitudes within an advanced industrial society.”iii Despite the conflicting voices in the discussion of political religion, the debate does acknowledge two relevant facts: the obvious intermingling in Nazism of religious and secular phenomena; secondly, the underestimated role exercised by Munich Catholicism in the early life of the Nazi party.iv My essay is an effort to illumine one thread in this complex territory of political religion and Nazism and my title conveys its hypotheses. First, that the centuries long polemic against the Roman Catholic religious order the Jesuits, namely, its fabrication of the Jesuit image as cynical corrupter of Christianity and European culture, provided an important template for the Nazi imagining of Jewry after its emancipation.v This claim will be exhibited in a consideration of two historically influential texts: the Monita 1 secreta which demonized the Jesuits and the Protocols of the Sages of Zion which diabolized the Jews.vi In the light of this examination, I shall claim that an intermingled rhetoric of Jesuit and Jewish wills to power operated in the imagination of some within the Nazi leadership, the most important of whom was Adolf Hitler himself.

Picking Up the Pieces Directed by: Joshua Tebeau | 27 min. Belgium, Canada, Germany, Poland, USA, United Kingdom, 2015 'Picking Up the Pieces' explores the memories, emotions, and beliefs of a diverse group of Jewish Child Survivors. It shows how children coped with their trauma in rebuilding their lives after the Holocaust. Jewish Child survivors were largely silent for 40 years after the Holocaust. As a result the 'child's perspective' of this tragedy has been largely untold. This film asks the question: How do you 'live' after surviving the Holocaust? It does so by focusing on 5 themes of special relevance to survivors: Forgiveness, Belief in God, Home, Jewish Identity and Memory.

    Prinz Max Von Baden Und Houston Steward Chamberlain. Aus Dem

    121 Dieser Quellenfund führt zwei historische Persönlichkeiten zusammen, die man gewöhnlich nicht miteinander in Verbindung bringt: Prinz Max von Baden und Houston Steward Chamberlain, den scheinbar liberalen Prinzen, der im Herbst 1918 den Ersten Weltkrieg zu beenden half, und den Protagonisten eines radikalen Antisemitismus', der auch zu Hitlers Ideengeber wurde. Die Korrespondenz dieser beiden unterschiedlichen Figuren eröffnet viele neue Einsichten: in einem ganz neuen Licht erscheint nicht nur der Prinz; deutlich wird auch, welch große Wirkung die Schriften Chamberlains hatten. Karina Urbach/Bernd Buchner Prinz Max von Baden und Houston Stewart Chamberlain Aus dem Briefwechsel 1909-1919 „Wie der Prinz Max steht, weiß keiner", stellte der sozialdemokratische Parteifüh­ rer Friedrich Ebert gegen Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs resigniert fest1. Bis heute hat sich an dieser Einschätzung wenig geändert. Das ist insofern erstaunlich, als die fünfwöchige Reichskanzlerschaft des badischen Prinzen von Anfang Oktober bis zum 9. November 1918 - mithin die Zeit zwischen Waffenstillstandsangebot und Kriegsende, zwischen Parlamentarisierung und Novemberrevolution - zu den entscheidenden Wendepunkten in der neueren deutschen Geschichte gerechnet wird. Die Regierung des Prinzen ist zwar in den 1960er Jahren von Erich Matthias und Rudolf Morsey ausführlich dokumentiert und kommentiert worden2, doch Max selbst blieb stets eine blasse historische Figur. War er der von Golo Mann hagiographisch gefeierte deutsche Whig3, ein typisch süddeutsch­ legerer Grandseigneur,

    THE PERSECUTION OF HOMOSEXUALS IN NAZI GERMANY Kaleb Cahoon HIST 495: Senior Seminar May 1, 2017 1 On May 6, 1933, a group of students from the College of Physical Education in Berlin arrived early in the morning to raid the office headquarters of the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin. According to a contemporary anonymous report, the invading students “took up a military-style position in front of the house and then forced their way inside, with musical accompaniment… [and then] they smashed down the doors.”1 Once inside, the same group commenced to ransack the place: they “emptied inkwells, pouring ink onto various papers and carpets, and then set about the private bookcases” and then “took with them what struck them as suspicious, keeping mainly to the so-called black list.”2 Later that day, after the students had left “large piles of ruined pictures and broken glass” in their wake, a contingent of Storm Troopers arrived to complete the operation by confiscating nearly ten thousand books that they subsequently burned three days later.3 This raid was part of an overall campaign to purge “books with an un-German spirit from Berlin libraries,” undertaken early in the regime of the Third Reich. Their target, the Institute for Sexual Research founded by the pioneering German sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld, was one of the premier centers of progressive thought concerning human sexuality – most notably homosexuality – in the world.4 This episode raises a number of questions, including why Nazi leaders deemed this organization to possess “an un-German spirit” that thus warranted a thorough purge so early in the regime.5 The fact that Hirschfeld, like many other leading sexologists in Germany, was Jewish and that many Nazis thus regarded the burgeoning field of “Sexualwissenschaft, or the science of sex,” as “Jewish science” likely 1 “How Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute for Sexual Science Was Demolished and Destroyed,” (1933) in The Third Reich Sourcebook, ed.

Since the German program cannot offer literature courses in German at this point, reading major works in translation is the next best thing. Furthermore, a survey of German literary movements enhances students' understanding of the history and culture of the German-speaking countries and complements the popular German Civilization course. Beyond that, studying works of German literature that represent different historical periods and cultural contexts will challenge students to analyze broader issues and ideas and make connections with global themes addressed in other courses in the Languages, English, and Social Sciences Divisions. Finally, Literature in Translation is already well established in the Languages Division in these foreign language classes: Chinese 12, Japanese 12, Spanish 12, and Italian 12. SLOs (Student Learning Outcomes) 1. Recognize and discuss key characteristics of major periods of German literature. 2. Compare and contrast dominant themes, relevant topics, and stylistic conventions in representative works. SPOs (Student Performance Objectives) 1. Describe core characteristics of major movements in German literature 2. Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the geography, history and culture of Germany 3.

  • The German Literature in American Exile – Great Writers and Their Wives: Perspectives from Russian Scholars

    The German Literature in American Exile – Great Writers and Their Wives: Perspectives from Russian Scholars

    SHS Web of Conferences 55, 04018 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/shsconf/20185504018 ICPSE 2018 The German literature in American exile – great writers and their wives: perspectives from Russian scholars Svetlana Averkina1,*, Angelika Kalinina1, and Tatiana Suchareva1 1Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod, 603115, 31-a Minina str., Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia Abstract. The article focuses on the life and art of the famous Germane writers, namely Thomas Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Franz Werfel. After the outbreak of WWII, when the Nazi forces invaded these lands, a lot of emigres managed to leave for the USA. For many of them, the escape route was extremely turbulent. The German writers in the USA settled closely together in California, forming a tight community. The famous Germane writers had to decide upon two principal questions: what they could do for the culture of their home country while staying in exile, and how to interact with the culture of the country where they live. In this connection, it is of great importance to analyze not their works, but the books of their wives. They took care of the house and children on a daily basis, as well as became secretaries, councilors, and closest associates of their great husbands. The authors also propose the main perspectives on a future research on this topic, focusing on the social and political phenomenon of “the community of German writers in American exile”, analyzing how the intellectual community was formed, discussing the documents of this age, studying the memories about their time in America in the context of the contemporary gender theory.
