    Hitler’s American Model The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law James Q. Whitman Princeton University Press Princeton and Oxford 1 Introduction This jurisprudence would suit us perfectly, with a single exception. Over there they have in mind, practically speaking, only coloreds and half-coloreds, which includes mestizos and mulattoes; but the Jews, who are also of interest to us, are not reckoned among the coloreds. —Roland Freisler, June 5, 1934 On June 5, 1934, about a year and a half after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of the Reich, the leading lawyers of Nazi Germany gathered at a meeting to plan what would become the Nuremberg Laws, the notorious anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi race regime. The meeting was chaired by Franz Gürtner, the Reich Minister of Justice, and attended by officials who in the coming years would play central roles in the persecution of Germany’s Jews. Among those present was Bernhard Lösener, one of the principal draftsmen of the Nuremberg Laws; and the terrifying Roland Freisler, later President of the Nazi People’s Court and a man whose name has endured as a byword for twentieth-century judicial savagery. The meeting was an important one, and a stenographer was present to record a verbatim transcript, to be preserved by the ever-diligent Nazi bureaucracy as a record of a crucial moment in the creation of the new race regime. That transcript reveals the startling fact that is my point of departure in this study: the meeting involved detailed and lengthy discussions of the law of the United States.

  • Fighting Corruption of the Historical Record: Nazi-Looted Art Litigation
    Fighting Corruption of the Historical Record: Nazi-Looted Art Litigation Jennifer Anglim Kreder* For the first time in history, restitution may be expected to continuefor as long as works of art known to have been plundered during a war continue to be rediscovered. -Ardelia R. Hall' I. INTRODUCTION Over the years, with a few praiseworthy exceptions, U.S. courts have dismissed many claims to recover Nazi-looted art on technical grounds, causing distortion of the historical record.2 This trend seems to reflect bias against these historical claims arising from a lack of historical knowledge. Tales of venerated institutions, such as the Museum of Modem Art (MoMA), acquiring what they knew or should have known was trafficked and laundered art may seem outrageous to those unaware of the infection of the market with art that had been stolen or extorted from Jews between 1933 and 1945. Even when judges recognize the plausibility of such claims,s attending to them requires judicial fortitude and dedication to sorting .

Newman* INTRODUCTION Taboos and unwritten social rules surrounding death, suicide and euthanasia have strangled candid discussion of these related topics for many years. Euthanasia-acting to produce a merciful death-has been a matter for whispered conversation among doctors, occasionally practiced1 but only recently publicly raised as a matter for "proper" debate. The grip of silence has been dramatically broken by various events, most notably: " the publication in a 1988 issue of the Journalof the American Med- ical Association of an article by an anonymous doctor recounting his administration of a lethal dose of morphine to a woman dying of 2 ovarian cancer, entitled It's Over, Debbie " a statement published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1989 by ten doctors associated with the nation's leading hospitals and medical schools declaring their belief that "it is not immoral for a physician to assist in the rational suicide of a terminally ill person" " the publication in 1991 in the New England Journal of Medicine of * Professor of Law, New York Law School.

  • The Life and Times of the American Journalsit Arno
    THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE AMERICAN JOURNALSIT ARNO DOSCH FLEUROT (1879-1951): DEFINING AMERICAN LIBERALISM IN WORLD WAR ONE ERA THROUGH THE LENSE OF FOREIGN REPORTING ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History ____________________________________ By Angelina Slepchenkova Thesis Committee Approval: Volker Janssen, Department of History, Chair Benjamin Cawthra, Department of History Cora Granata, Department of History Summer, 2017 ABSTRACT This study examines life and times of Arno Dosch Fleurot (1879-1951), the American veteran newspaperman, who was a foreign correspondent in Europe since 1914 and reported to Americans about many important world events – World War One and World War Two, revolutions in Russia and Germany to name a few. The focus of this research is Dosch Fleurot’s experience as a foreign reporter during World War One and in the early 1920s, in the period that became the determinant for his professional and personal life. His witnesses and opinions about the war and its outcomes reflected in his articles for the Worlds Work, a monthly magazine, the New York World, and some other newspapers that published or syndicated his articles and his correspondence with family in Portland, Oregon exemplify the challenges the conflict brought to people with a liberal outlook. Indeed, the war experience raised doubts among the ranks of American liberals, and Dosch Fleurot was not the exception, about their core belief in the inevitable spread of democracy throughout the world. The purpose of this study is to examine Dosch Fleurot’s evolution of this idealistic belief and illustrate how American liberals tried to reconcile their advocacy of the spread of democracy with the national interests of the United States.
