Between Manipulation, Propaganda and Education – the Activity of the Romanian Journals for Children during the Communist Regime. Espacio, Tiempo y Educación, 4(1), 1-17. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14516/ete.2017.004.001.119 Between Manipulation, Propaganda and Education – the Activity of the Romanian Journals for Children during the Communist Regime Între manipulare, propagandă și educație – periodicele pentru copii în timpul regimului comunist Carmen Tagsorean e-mail: [email protected] University of Babeș-Bolyai. Romania Abstract: The Communist regime installed in Romania with the support of the Soviet army set out on a large-scale propaganda mission to implement the new ideology, backed up by new legislation. Children were one of the targeted age groups, and the strategies of indoctrination adopted confirmed that the Soviets had advanced knowledge concerning the stages of children’s cognitive development. Some of the most effective instruments in creating the «new man» were the periodicals dedicated to children, which were actually press organs of the Romanian Communist Party. However, this detail was ignored by most parents, and thought irrelevant to the children’s universe. A number of other factors secured the success of this means of propaganda: the trust and appreciation of these publications among children, an excellent distribution network, low acquisition cost, the limited number of books available, and reduced access to the same. In an era dominated by austerity in terms of communication and forms of entertainment, children’s periodicals represented an escape from the poverty and banality of everyday life.

Trubceac A key social driver in The Republic of Moldova, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, has been the establishment of a state education system that emphasizes cultural pluralism and interculturalism. Educational research about the Republic of Moldova shows an increased motivation among contemporary secondary education social studies teachers to incorporate multicultural education and to enhance their professional skills in helping students to deal with violence, conflicts, and interethnic, linguistic, and cultural tensions. In the Republic of Moldova, secondary education social studies are required by the state education system to teach civic and citizenship education for the purpose of developing a harmonious society. However, there are no formal or required multicultural and peace education dimensions in Moldova’s system of education.

  • Germany 1933
    DARKNESS INTO LIFE Alabama Holocaust Survivors Through Photography and Art A HISTORY OF THE HOLOCAUST TO ACCOMPANY THE EXHIBIT Introduction The term Holocaust refers to the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. It is derived from the Greek word meaning “a sacrifice by fire.” The Holocaust is not just Jewish history, it is human history. It has been more than 80 years since the beginning of the Nazi reign of terror, during which, six million Jews died, as well as hundreds of thousands of others the Nazis considered socially undesirable. From the terrible darkness of the Holocaust to successful lives in Alabama, these Holocaust survivors embraced and enriched their new homes. Who is a Holocaust survivor? A Holocaust survivor is any person, Jewish or non-Jewish, who was displaced, persecuted, or discriminated against due to the racial, religious, ethnic, social, and political policies of the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945. In addition to former inmates of concentration camps, ghettos, and prisons, this definition includes, among others, people who were refugees or were in hiding. For them, remembering is always a complicated patchwork and journey of stories … some of childhoods past … others of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, lost friends … some of despair and sadness … others of cruelty beyond belief … many of bravery … others of the joy of liberation. In this sensitive exhibit of photography by Becky Seitel and art by Mitzi J. Levin, one is given special glimpses into the private memories of some of Alabama’s Holocaust survivors.

The buzz around the Trump-Kim summit on Tuesday has stirred Singaporeans’ entrepreneurial spirit, and raised hopes of a tourism dividend long after the summit dust settles. One person is trying to sell his weekend reservations at the Shan- gri-La Hotel, mentioned in media as the possible lodging of one of the leaders - at three times the price. “It was for a personal ‘staycation’, but I reckon that because of the summit, people might actually offer to pay a higher price,” Joel Lin, who is asking for S$1,600 for each of two rooms he has booked, said by telephone.

The Central Powers (Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire) fought against the Allied powers (Great Britain, France, and Russia). In November 1914, Turkey sided with the Central Powers; in 1915, Italy joined the Allies. 4/24/1915 The Armenian Genocide In the first year of World War I, in the course of war between Turkey and Russia in the Armenian provinces of Turkey, the Turks questioned the Armenians' loyalties and drove them out of their homes. At least 1 million Armenians, about half of the Armenian population in Turkey, were murdered in the expulsion by the Turks. 11/2/1917 Balfour Declaration The British Foreign Secretary, Lord Arthur James Balfour, proclaimed Britain's support of the creation of a national home for the Jews in Palestine. This declaration, given after British forces had already taken control of the southern part of Palestine and were about to occupy its north, transformed the Zionist vision into a political program that seemed attainable. 11/7/1917 Communist Revolution in Russia In response to Russia's defeat on the front, Czar Nicholas II was dethroned in a revolution in March 1917 and a new government of mixed liberal-conservative complexion came into being. As political deadlock and defeats on the front continued, the socialists gained in popularity and their radical wing, the Bolshevik party, under Lenin, called for immediate peace and apportionment of land to the peasants.
