  • The Wagner-Rogers Bill: Debate a Lesson Plan for Middle and High School Students Learning About U.S
    American Immigration Law Foundation Immigration Curriculum Center Lesson Plan The Wagner-Rogers Bill: Debate A Lesson Plan For Middle And High School Students Learning About U.S. Immigration and/or the Holocaust Grade Level: 9th – 12th Goal: This lesson allows students to develop and hear the arguments for and against the Wagner-Rogers bill, by taking part in a mock Congressional debate on the bill. Students are encouraged to develop and listen to persuasive testimony and speeches, and to come up with creative strategies to change the legislation in ways in which it might be more acceptable. Materials: Nametags, paper Timeline: 2-3 Class Periods HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In November 1938, the brutality of the Nazi regime toward the Jews of Germany reached a fevered pitch with “Kristallnact," or “The Night of Broken Glass." On that night, gangs of Nazi thugs terrorized Jewish communities all over Germany, setting fires to synagogues, Jewish-owned businesses, breaking in windows of Jewish-owned shops, beating and killing Jews and committing other acts of brutality. While America had been generally unwilling to create any special programs to welcome refugees from the Nazi regime during the 1930's, Kristallnacht gained international attention and created a wave of American sympathy towards the victims of Nazi terror. Groups supporting refugee aid saw this as their moment to act on possible relief. At the suggestion of an interdenominational group concerned with refugee aid, Senator Robert F. Wagner, a Democrat from New York, and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, a Republican from Massachusetts, introduced identical bills to offer refuge to 20,000 German children, a great majority of them Jewish children.

  • Excerpt of Speech of Hon. Samuel Dickstein, of Net York
    EXCERPT OF SPEECH OF HON. SAMUEL DICKSTEIN, OF NET YORK IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 22, 1941 There are other individuals of this ilk who may be mentioned ft this time. There is, for instance, e gentlemen nrmed Girolamo Valenti, the editor of c 2 by 4 newspaper, a publication which borsts on its front page that it stends for liberty rnd democracy end against fascism, dictators, and the "fifth column." This gentlemen has made some broad statements without substantiation. In fact, he went to the trouble of writing me r letter about it, to which letter I replied rnd suggested that he be good enough to furnish me with details of his charges. Instead of receiving a reply to my letter, I received his nev;spcper, in which there is en alleged answer offering to prove the charges before any investigating committee or tribunal. Thereafter, in the issue of his newspaper of April 19, he attempts to give some facts, but the alleged facts as therein given are purely a babbling collection of generalities. This is the very SEme gentleman whom I subpeneed in 1934 and whose testimony is now t matter of official record. The testimony then given was, of course, barren of all facts, purely hearsay, and of no value. If we were to go r little further into the examination of Mr, Valenti's background, we will discover the t this gentlermn himself is a Communist end hes furthered the cause of communism in this country. This is the record of Girolamo Valenti, the Communist provocrtor: Valenti was born April 16, 1892, at Vtlguarnera, Italy.

    NINETY EDITORIAL ALT. Ninety-Bines, attention! We ask y o u r aid NINE for your Sister Flyers! The recent termination of recruiting and train­ ing of additional Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) is a matter of sincere regret to all women pilots. This project opened opportunities for women in aviation which have never before been available and offered women pilots a chance to prove that their performance on military aircraft equalled that of TV male pilots. Unfortunately many girls who had been accepted for the June 30th class did not know of its cancella­ tion until they reached Sweetwater, since telegrams notifying them of the order arrived, in many cases, too late. All Ninety-Nines should be cognizant of the facts leading to this cancellation. The Costello NEWS Bill, H. R. 4219, to give military status to the WASP was reported favorably ty the House Military LETTER Affairs Committee. Subsequent to that report but prior to debate on the floor of the House, the July 15, 1944 Ramspeck Civil Service Committee issued a report on an investigation of the 7JASP program which it LEWS LETTER EDITOR had conducted, recommending immediate discontinu­ ance of training, except for those already enrolled.

  • Family Unity, Child Refugees, and the American Catholic Bishops’ Response
    Work in progress – please do not cite without author’s permission Gráinne McEvoy, Ph.D. Post-doctoral Fellow Department of History, Boston College Email: [email protected] Family Unity, Child Refugees, and the American Catholic Bishops’ Response to the Wagner-Rogers Bill, 1939. Working paper submitted to the Boston College Center for Christian Jewish Learning. Paper presented, in part, at the Annual Meeting of the American Catholic Historical Association, New York City, January 2015. Research funded, in part, by a CCJL Junior Scholars Research Grant. 1 Work in progress – please do not cite without author’s permission On January 9, 1939, a delegation of four Protestant and Catholic clergymen, led by Monsignor John A. Ryan of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, visited the White House and presented a petition stating their favorable position on “this country’s doing its share in helping, through already established agencies, German children who are unable to remain in their own land.” The petition bore the signatures of 50 Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish religious leaders of whom 11 were prominent archbishops, priests, and Catholic social activists. 1 The delivery of the petition deliberately precipitated the proposal, the following month, of identical bills in Congress by Senator Robert F. Wagner (D-NY) and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers (R-MA) that would have permitted entry beyond the quotas to 20,000 German children under the age of 14 over a two-year period.2 The Wagner-Rogers bill was the most prominent of a handful of other bills proposed in 1939 to admit German children under the age of 14.3 Despite the very public demonstration of support for some administrative relief to admit displaced children by prominent Catholic figures, the national Hierarchy withheld its official support for the Wagner-Roger bill in the spring and early summer of 1939.
