TANENBAUM WARREN EISENBERG 212-751-4000 202-857-6545 .. FOR RELEASE December 12, 1988 ARMENIANS AND JEWS - A SHARED EMPATHY COMMENTARY RABBI MARC H. TANENBAUM* OF THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE All people of conscience must share the grief that overwhelms our Armenian neighbors during these tragic days. The natural catastrophe of the earthquake which has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands and the' . destruction of whole villages in Soviet Armenia evokes deepest feelings of compassion and human solidarity. In the Jewish community, I have found a special sense of identification with the Armenian people in this trying time. Both Armenians and Jews are numerically small people. As one American Armenian aptly put it, "Armenia being such a small country, it doesn't matter if it's a member of the family or not. we take our losses very hard. Every single member is important." That could have been a Jew describing the ethnic closeness of the Jewish people. Both Armenians and Jews have had long and often painful histories dating back to Biblical times. The Talmud suggests that there were Jewish communities in Armenia since the Babylonian dispersion (Sanhedrin 94A). Armenians, like Jews, have a homeland and a diaspora which figure centrally in their religious and national consciousness. In recent times, Ambassadors Oscar Straus and Henry Morgenthau played crucial roles in seeking to end the 1915 massacres· of Armenians, and they have become authentic heroes among knowledgeable Armenians. When I was working as consultant on the NBC-TV Holocaust series in the 1970s, one of the first people to respond with deep understanding of the Nazi victimization of the Jews was Archbishop Torkom Manoogian, Primate of the Armenian Church. "Armenians understand Jewish suffering," he declared publicly. Now it is our turn to respond with equal sympathy and caring. The Armenian churches, and major relief groups listed in newspapers, are key places to provide help. In the Jewish community, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC, 711 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017) and the American Jewish World Service (AJWS, 729 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116) are mobilizing Jewish relief for the Armenian people. *Rabbi Tanenbaum is director of international relations of the American Jewish Committee. tm UH • t•'14 *"· Jt.w, WAaHIH.,.CIN, D.

    Reconciling American Jewishness with the “100 Percent American”: Henry Morgenthau Jr. and American Jewry, 1934-1945 Lucy Hammet Senior Research Capstone History 480, Senior Research Seminar Dr. Vivien Dietz Hammet 2 Reflecting on his childhood, his family, and his religion, Henry Morgenthau III, son and namesake of FDR’s Secretary of the Treasury, wrote in 1991 of his Jewish heritage, calling it “a kind of birth defect that could not be eradicated but with proper treatment could be overcome, if not in this generation then probably in the next. The cure was achieved through the vigorous lifelong exercise of one’s Americanism.”1 He goes on to recount a childhood memory that took place in the early 1920s in New York City when a fellow playmate asked about his religion. Later, he confronted his parents with the question, “What’s my religion?” In response, Morgenthau III was taught the following: “If anyone ever asks you that again, just tell them you’re an American.”2 And that is what he did for much of his life. Had he asked his father, Henry Morgenthau Jr., this same question twenty years later, the answer would likely have been very different. By the end of World War II, Morgenthau Jr. was a leader in the American Jewish establishment, chairman of the United Jewish Appeal, and an aggressive actor in the struggle to save the remaining Jews of Europe. His son understood this change as having “sprung from something hidden deep within his conscience.”3 In reality, Morgenthau was one of many American Jews who underwent a turbulent change in experience of Jewishness in the 1930s and 1940s.

  • Origins of the Genre in Search of the Radio Sitcom
    1 Origins of the Genre In Search of the Radio Sitcom DAVID MARC The introduction of a mass communication medium normally occurs when an economically viable commercial application is found for a new technol- ogy. A third element necessary to the launch, content (i.e., something to communicate), is often treated as something of an afterthought in this process. As a result, adaptations of popular works and of entire genres from previous media tend to dominate the introductory period, even as they mutate under the developing conditions of the new medium. Such was the case in the rise of the television sitcom from the ashes of network radio. While a dozen or more long-running network radio series served as sources for early television situation comedies, it is in some ways misleading to describe these radio programs (e.g., Father Knows Best, Amos ’n’ Andy, or The Life of Riley) as “radio sitcoms.” According to the Oxford English Dic- tionary, neither the term “situation comedy” nor “sitcom” achieved common usage until the 1950s, the point at which this type of entertainment had become completely absent from American radio. TV Guide appears to be among the first general circulation publica- tions to use the term “situation comedy” in print with the following passage cited by the Oxford English Dictionary from a 1953 article: “Ever since I Love Lucy zoomed to the top rung on the rating ladder, it seems the networks have been filling every available half-hour with another situation comedy” (TV Guide). The abbreviated form, “sitcom,” which probably enjoys greater usage today, has an even shorter history.

I describe aspects of his early life that shaped the man he became, his accomplishments in these two posts, and his feelings about himself over time. At the end I briefly describe his attitude toward a possible Jewish state in Palestine. I.

I heard that sentence halfway through my research, while I was at the FDR Library in Hyde Park, New York. One morning at the Golden Manor Motel right across the street, I decided to have an all American breakfast – donuts, coffee and Tropicana orange juice included – when an older couple was having coffee at the table next to me. Tim Walsch (72 years old) was excited to start the story to his wife Ruth Tepper (62 years old), when she replied: ‘Oh Tim, I hear it every time we get here…’ He almost did not continue, so I stepped in and asked them everything about the American first lady and how she did save his uncle’s life.
