Gutter recounted how he relied on his resourcefulness and the kindness of others to survive. He developed a close friendship with a boy named Jacob, and the two relied on each other in the camp. Gutter and Jacob eventually lost contact, and he assumed Jacob was murdered like so many others. But, ending his talk with what he described as a moment of hope and optimism, he told the seemingly miraculous story of fi nding Jacob again, 53 years after the end of the war.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs A STRANGE DICHOTOMY marked the year. While the country enjoyed continued prosperity and stability, the government—especially Prime Minister Tony Blair—incurred increasing unpopularity, albeit not to a degree that would threaten Labour's continuance in office. The sustained growth of the economy and low interest rates softened the impact of tax increases on disposable income, although opinion polls did register discontent, particularly over local taxation. Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown's pre-budget report in December indicated that receipts were lower than anticipated while costs associated with the Iraq war had pushed spending above expectations. Nevertheless, Brown adhered to his "golden rule" that over the economic cycle the government should borrow only to invest. Employment reached a record high of 28.1 million, and the number of people applying for unemployment benefits dropped steadily, reaching 917,800 in November, 7,900 lower than a year before. High employment raised the threat of wage inflation. The burden of interest payments on the growing public debt raised similar concerns. In July, interest rates were cut a quarter-percent to 3.50 percent to stim- ulate the economy, but in December this was reversed for the first time in almost four years; rates went back up to 3.75 percent so as to coun- teract the danger of rises in house prices and personal debt. Politically, satisfaction with the government continued to decline from its peak of about 55 percent just after 9/11 to about 25 percent in De- cember 2003. The results of local elections held in May registered the po- litical fallout: Labour lost a combined 800 seats, and the Conservatives, winning the largest share of the vote, gained about 500.

    Seminar with Tatiana Sîrbu La politique des “ villages tsiganes― en Bessarabie sous trois administrations: tsariste, roumaine et soviétique: 1812-1956 Ces dernières années, le sort des Roms a, à plusieurs reprises, été porté au devant de l'actualité. Mais cette question est une problématique ancienne qu'il n'est pas inutile d'examiner sur le plan plus historique. Pour aborder l'histoire chaotique de cette population, le CEGES invite le mercredi 19 décembre 2012 l'historienne Tatiana Sîrbu pour une présentation qui traitera de l'évolution de la situation des Roms en Bessarabie aux 19e et 20e siècles, fruit de ses recherches de doctorat. Seminar with Ugur Ümit Üngör Expropriation et destruction : génocide et confiscation des biens arméniens en 1915  Peu d'événements historiques suscitent autant de controverses que le génocide arménien. Le sujet a encore marqué l'actualité politique lorsque le Parlement français a adopté une loi réprimant la négation du génocide arménien avant son invalidation par le Conseil constitutionnel. Le CEGES a, pour sa part, souhaité se pencher sur cette question le mercredi 5 décembre 2012 (2.30 p.m.). Seminar with Laurent Thiery La répression: un élément central de la stratégie politique d'Occupation dans les départements du Nord - Pas-de-Calais On Wednesday 21 November 2012( 2.30 p.m.) the CEGES/SOMA receives Laurent Thiery.
