Source: JHM. 12 INTRODUCTION Rosey E. Pool (1905-1971) hardly lived an ordinary life. She witnessed the rise of the Nazis in Berlin firsthand; she taught many pupils, including Anne Frank; she operated in a Jewish resistance group; she escaped from a Nazi transit camp; she witnessed independence movements in Nigeria and Senegal; and she was involved in the American Civil Rights Movement. Although each of these moments would have been sufficient for a book in itself, her life as a survivor/agitator culminated in the fifties and sixties. This was the time when all finally seemed to come together for Pool. Her claim about ‘anti-otherisms’ - her thesis that merged together systematic exclusion, whether this was anti- Black racism or anti-Semitism - was finally in vogue with emancipatory movements across the Black diaspora and the western world alike. Simultaneously she was an outcast in all of the places she operated in. After one of her American travels in the early sixties, one poet was amazed that ‘one so removed’ was interested in the Black cause. Pool’s response was swift and clear: ‘believe me: since 1933 I was anything but “removed” from all that,’ she wrote, ‘and the years 1940-45 in Holland under nazi occupation when the yellow jew stars were our darker skins completed my education.’1 This research starts off with a set of puzzling questions. Apart from answering what Pool’s actions were and what her significance was, this dissertation wants to examine how Pool’s life was determined by her own conscious decisions, but also by the specific historical contexts, places, and networks she operated in. This led to one first, basic question: who was Rosey Pool? What did she do, what were her accomplishments, and how can she be characterized? Secondly, I want to find out what her personal motives were. What drove her to each of these hotbeds of history, to take action outside of her own comfort zone and into these historic contact zones? Thirdly, I want to know what Pool’s influence was on the public discourse of race, both within the US and within the Netherlands. Did she transfer ideas, literature, or protest repertoires across the Atlantic, and in what way did her 13 networks play a role in this? And finally, again a basic but pertinent question, related to historiography: how is it possible that this woman has escaped the attention of historians? Historiography This dissertation/biography sheds light on some key issues pertaining to the twentieth century, from the 1910s to the 1970s. Rosey Pool’s life compels us to explore networks of transnational anti-fascist activism, Jewish resistance during the Holocaust, while her postwar life - or, perhaps more appropriately, her post-Holocaust life2 - touches upon some different historical narratives which are often studied in isolation, such as the role of whites and Jews in the Civil Rights Movement, the residues of Old Left activism in the Cold War, LGBT history, but also the double edged role of trauma in political activism. With Pool being at different crossroads in history, this book showcases various entangled histories. It is thereby highly indebted to what Michael Rothberg has called ‘multidirectional memory,’ which argues that debates on the Holocaust enabled the articulation of other histories of victimization, which subsequently became an essential part in the claiming of rights by colonized peoples, women, and minorities alike.3 Pool often united the global and the local in her activism and work. She could easily tell about individual lives, often with a microscopic precision, before moving on to major arguments. She was prone to tell the story of Anne Frank to American audiences to reveal similarities between Nazism and Jim Crow.

  • Alternate History – Alternate Memory: Counterfactual Literature in the Context of German Normalization
    ALTERNATE HISTORY – ALTERNATE MEMORY: COUNTERFACTUAL LITERATURE IN THE CONTEXT OF GERMAN NORMALIZATION by GUIDO SCHENKEL M.A., Freie Universität Berlin, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (German Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Guido Schenkel, 2012 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a variety of Alternate Histories of the Third Reich from the perspective of memory theory. The term ‘Alternate History’ describes a genre of literature that presents fictional accounts of historical developments which deviate from the known course of hi story. These allohistorical narratives are inherently presentist, meaning that their central question of “What If?” can harness the repertoire of collective memory in order to act as both a reflection of and a commentary on contemporary social and political conditions. Moreover, Alternate Histories can act as a form of counter-memory insofar as the counterfactual mode can be used to highlight marginalized historical events. This study investigates a specific manifestation of this process. Contrasted with American and British examples, the primary focus is the analysis of the discursive functions of German-language counterfactual literature in the context of German normalization. The category of normalization connects a variety of commemorative trends in postwar Germany aimed at overcoming the legacy of National Socialism and re-formulating a positive German national identity. The central hypothesis is that Alternate Histories can perform a unique task in this particular discursive setting. In the context of German normalization, counterfactual stories of the history of the Third Reich are capable of functioning as alternate memories, meaning that they effectively replace the memory of real events with fantasies that are better suited to serve as exculpatory narratives for the German collective.

  • Chapter 6. the Voice of the Other America: African
    Chapter 6 Th e Voice of the Other America African-American Music and Political Protest in the German Democratic Republic Michael Rauhut African-American music represents a synthesis of African and European tradi- tions, its origins reaching as far back as the early sixteenth century to the begin- ning of the systematic importation of “black” slaves to the European colonies of the American continent.1 Out of a plethora of forms and styles, three basic pil- lars of African-American music came to prominence during the wave of indus- trialization that took place at the start of the twentieth century: blues, jazz, and gospel. Th ese forms laid the foundation for nearly all important developments in popular music up to the present—whether R&B, soul and funk, house music, or hip-hop. Th anks to its continual innovation and evolution, African-American music has become a constitutive presence in the daily life of several generations. In East Germany, as throughout European countries on both sides of the Iron Curtain, manifold directions and derivatives of these forms took root. Th ey were carried through the airwaves and seeped into cultural niches until, fi nally, this music landed on the political agenda. Both fans and functionaries discovered an enormous social potential beneath the melodious surface, even if their aims were for the most part in opposition. For the government, the implicit rejection of the communist social model represented by African-American music was seen as a security issue and a threat to the stability of the system. Even though the state’s reactions became weaker over time, the offi cial interaction with African-American music retained a political connotation for the life of the regime.

The Complex Relationship between Jews and African Americans in the Context of the Civil Rights Movement Abstract The Civil Rights Movement occurred throughout a substantial portion of the twentieth century, dedicated to fighting for equal rights for African Americans through various forms of activism. The movement had a profound impact on a number of different communities in the United States and around the world as demonstrated by the continued international attention marked by recent iterations of the Black Lives Matter and ‘Never Again’ movements. One community that had a complex reaction to the movement, played a major role within it, and was impacted by it was the American Jewish community. The African American community and the Jewish community were bonded by a similar exclusion from mainstream American society and a historic empathetic connection that would carry on into the mid-20th century; however, beginning in the late 1960s, the partnership between the groups eventually faced challenges and began to dissolve, only to resurface again in the twenty-first century.

In een geruchtrnakend proces werd hij hiervoor ter dood veroordeeld en in januari 1934 onthoofd, 24 jaar oud.
