Nicknamed "The Vern," students at this campus are the neighbors of the Embassy of Ger- many in Washington in the Foxhall area. The campus is served by a 24-hour shuttle service known as the "Vern Express." Students have access to the campus facilities, including the library, computer labs, swimming pool, tennis courts, and top-notch recreational facilities. The campus features wireless Internet access, along with catering services from the on-campus dining facility. Restaurants surround the campus within walking distance Acheson Science Center Mount Vernon Shuttle runs 24 hrs. a day, connecting the campus to Foggy Bottom Donors Like every other educational institution in the country, The George Washington University has more demands for resources than it has revenues to meet them.

  • Examples of Great Falsifications in 20Th-Century History

    Examples of Great Falsifications in 20Th-Century History

    The Manipulated Past Andrzej Krajewski, PhD When many people strongly believe in a falsehood, the fraud starts to take on a life on its own, and there is a real danger that it will not only change the way the past is seen but also shape the future. On 13 March 1881, Ignacy Hryniewiecki, a Pole associated with the Russian anarchist organization Narodnaya Volya (People’s Will), threw a bomb that killed Alexander II. The investigation carried out after the assassination of the tsar showed that among the conspirators was a Jewish woman Hesia Helfman. At the time, a rumour spread like wildfire across the empire that it was the Jews who had killed the ruler. With the permission of the authorities, there were about 250 pogroms (acts of cruelty and killings aimed at a large group of people , mainly the Jews, because of their race or religion) in the western governorates. A decade later Nicholas II ascended the throne and revolutionary turmoil began to grow in Russia. According to the French ambassador to St Petersburg, Maurice Paléologue, Nicholas II’s secret police (Okhrana) constantly warned him ‘about the conspiracies being set up in the darkness of the ghettos’. All that was missing were documents confirming these reports of Jewish plots. The conquest of the world by the Jews The Russians were informed about the rise of the Jewish conspiracy in a series of articles in the newspaper Russkoye Znamia. In August 1903 it began to publish records from the secret – as it was claimed – part of the proceedings of the First Zionist Congress, which took place in Basel in 1897.

    The Institute of Chemistry of Ireland Irish Chemical News Feature Articles: The State of Chemical Education in Thiosugar Synthesis Ireland Prof Eoin Scanlan Peter Childs 2014 Issue 1 IRISH CHEMICAL NEWS Editorial Welcome to the new issue of Irish Chemical News. We have two feature articles in this issue and one written by last year’s Boyle Higgins awardee – Dr Shelia Willis of The Forensic Science Laboratory. One is written by Prof. Eoin Scanlan, who is in the Organic Chemistry Section of the School of Chemistry at TCD. His article describes his recent work in thiosugar synthesis. The second article is authored by Peter Childs from Limerick. He gives a review of the state of Science education in Ireland. The winning entry in this year's Schools Newsletter competition, which the Institute sponsors, is also included. Entitled 'How do Adolescents see Chemistry?', it was won by a team from The Royal Belfast Academical Institution.'. One of the aims of this issue is that it can be distributed as widely as possible, to members and non-members alike, to highlight the activities of the Institute and hopefully to grow our membership. All our readers are encouraged to visit the website, http://www.chemistryireland.org/index.html, regularly. Details of membership rates can also be found there. We still need volunteers for articles that can be featured in ICN. There is a bias towards academic articles, so we especially ask our industrial members to participate. If you wish to contribute to the next issue, or have ideas of article types you wish to see, please do not hesitate to contact the editorial team (Robert Baker, Margaret Franklin or Brian Murray).

The cases are relevant to brand strategists in private and public sector organizations, as well as academics and students at universities, business schools, and executive education. The cases are written by groups of master’s students as a course project. The specially developed case format is defined as: “A management decision case describes a real business situation leading up to a question(s) that requires assessment, analysis, and a decision reached by discussion in class. The alternative approaches and recommendations from the class discussion are followed by a description of the choices made by the case company. This description is then discussed by the class.” The student groups select the topics of their case providing updated and relevant insights into the corporate brand management. The cases can be used as “written cases” (handed out and read in advance, later to be discussed in class) and/or as “live case” (presented by the teacher following a discussion in class). Each case includes teaching notes, visuals with speaker’s notes, learning objectives, board plans,

  • Los Falsos Diarios De Hitler

    Los Falsos Diarios De Hitler

    Los falsos diarios de Hitler Francisco Viñals Carrera* ICG-AGC 2008 A principios de los años 80 una noticia convulsionó a la opinión pública, la aparición de los presuntos diarios de Adolf Hitler, unos 27 volúmenes escritos a mano que se encontraban en poder de un coleccionista de objetos nazis. Este tema fue ampliamente tratado en los medios de comunicación internacional (Der Spiegel, Reuters, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Observer, The Sunday ºMirror, Bild Zeitung, Independent Radio News, The BBC, etc…), prensa escrita y televisión dieron acogida a tensos debates entre expertos sobre la autenticidad o no de los citados diarios, publicándose éstos por entregas en la revista alemana Stern en 1983, la cual pagó por los diarios unos 2 millones de dólares, previa autentificación de los mismos por los expertos Max Frei-Sulzer, exjefe del Departamento de Ciencias Forenses de la Policía de Zurich, y el documentólogo norteamericano, Ordway Hilton, quienes cotejaron fotocopias de los diarios con letra de Hitler recuperada de los Archivos Alemanes Federales, concluyendo que los diarios eran genuinos, auténticos. El prestigioso historiador inglés, Hugh Trevor-Hoper, también afirmó inicialmente la autenticidad de los documentos, y aunque en general, los datos históricos efectuados por historiadores ideológicamente de diferente signo: Eberhard Jaeckel (notable antifascista), Werner Maser (administrador del patrimonio documental hitleriano), y Kart Dietrich Bracher (historiador totalitarista) se dirigían en la línea inversa, el circo mediático siguió alimentándose, encumbrando a personajes cuya única motivación era la búsqueda de la fama y su enriquecimiento, como el historiador pro-nazi David Irving, quien primero los negó y después validó, tras cobrar importantes sumas de dinero por sus entrevistas, o del periodista alemán, Gerd Heidemann.
  • Authentic Events: the Diaries of and the Alleged Diaries of 1

    Authentic Events: the Diaries of and the Alleged Diaries of 1

    Sonja Neef 23 Authentic Events: The Diaries of and the Alleged Diaries of 1 This article approaches the concepts of authenticity and copy by focusing on two autographs whose authenticity is at the core of a longstanding and culturally ur- gent debate: Anne Frank’s diaries and the alleged diaries of Adolf Hitler. Combin- ing these cases by discussing them in one and the same paper may, at first sight, seem odd, or even blasphemous. By taking a closer look at these diaries, however, I will concentrate on a rhetoric of authenticity that they share and that, at the same time, distinguishes them radically. The aim, then, is to arrive at a differentiated view of the concept of the authenticity of handwriting and of the cultural signifi- cance of the idea of the original. Both diaries were subject to a series of investiga- tions into their authenticity. For Frank, several attempts were made to prove that the diaries were false and – along with this – that the Holocaust was a lie. For Hit- ler, in contrast, the aim was to prove that the diaries were authentic, and – along with this – to fill in the flatness of der Führer’s public persona with the private depth of an original, personal character. Both diaries had a serious impact on how we deal with the past and on how we locate this past in our present culture between memory and amnesia. Both for the diaries of Frank and for the alleged diaries of Hitler, the discourse of authenticity is to a large extent based on archival work.
