  • The Wagner-Rogers Bill: Debate a Lesson Plan for Middle and High School Students Learning About U.S
    American Immigration Law Foundation Immigration Curriculum Center Lesson Plan The Wagner-Rogers Bill: Debate A Lesson Plan For Middle And High School Students Learning About U.S. Immigration and/or the Holocaust Grade Level: 9th – 12th Goal: This lesson allows students to develop and hear the arguments for and against the Wagner-Rogers bill, by taking part in a mock Congressional debate on the bill. Students are encouraged to develop and listen to persuasive testimony and speeches, and to come up with creative strategies to change the legislation in ways in which it might be more acceptable. Materials: Nametags, paper Timeline: 2-3 Class Periods HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In November 1938, the brutality of the Nazi regime toward the Jews of Germany reached a fevered pitch with “Kristallnact," or “The Night of Broken Glass." On that night, gangs of Nazi thugs terrorized Jewish communities all over Germany, setting fires to synagogues, Jewish-owned businesses, breaking in windows of Jewish-owned shops, beating and killing Jews and committing other acts of brutality. While America had been generally unwilling to create any special programs to welcome refugees from the Nazi regime during the 1930's, Kristallnacht gained international attention and created a wave of American sympathy towards the victims of Nazi terror. Groups supporting refugee aid saw this as their moment to act on possible relief. At the suggestion of an interdenominational group concerned with refugee aid, Senator Robert F. Wagner, a Democrat from New York, and Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, a Republican from Massachusetts, introduced identical bills to offer refuge to 20,000 German children, a great majority of them Jewish children.

  • Excerpt of Speech of Hon. Samuel Dickstein, of Net York
    EXCERPT OF SPEECH OF HON. SAMUEL DICKSTEIN, OF NET YORK IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 22, 1941 There are other individuals of this ilk who may be mentioned ft this time. There is, for instance, e gentlemen nrmed Girolamo Valenti, the editor of c 2 by 4 newspaper, a publication which borsts on its front page that it stends for liberty rnd democracy end against fascism, dictators, and the "fifth column." This gentlemen has made some broad statements without substantiation. In fact, he went to the trouble of writing me r letter about it, to which letter I replied rnd suggested that he be good enough to furnish me with details of his charges. Instead of receiving a reply to my letter, I received his nev;spcper, in which there is en alleged answer offering to prove the charges before any investigating committee or tribunal. Thereafter, in the issue of his newspaper of April 19, he attempts to give some facts, but the alleged facts as therein given are purely a babbling collection of generalities. This is the very SEme gentleman whom I subpeneed in 1934 and whose testimony is now t matter of official record. The testimony then given was, of course, barren of all facts, purely hearsay, and of no value. If we were to go r little further into the examination of Mr, Valenti's background, we will discover the t this gentlermn himself is a Communist end hes furthered the cause of communism in this country. This is the record of Girolamo Valenti, the Communist provocrtor: Valenti was born April 16, 1892, at Vtlguarnera, Italy.

    Peripheral Europeans: The History of the Racialization of Slavs in Canada by Jakub Burkowicz M.A., Queen’s University, 2007 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2004 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences Jakub Burkowicz 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2016 Approval Name: Jakub Michał Burkowicz Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Sociology) Title: Peripheral Europeans: The History of the Racialization of Slavs in Canada Examining Committee: Chair: Dara Culhane, Professor Wendy Chan Senior Supervisor Professor Dany Lacombe Supervisor Professor Robert Menzies Supervisor Professor Emeritus Habiba Zaman Internal Examiner Professor Department of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Renisa Mawani External Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: August 16, 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation investigates the racialization of the Slavs in Canada from the end of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th. Utilizing Michel Foucault’s and Ernesto Laclau’s formulations of discourse, Berger and Luckmann’s social constructionism, and, broadly, poststructural theory, the principal aim of this work is to demonstrate that during this period Canadians recognized the Slavs as a distinct, homogenous, denationalized racial type. To this end, this dissertation draws on immigration, eugenic, political, journalistic, art, legal, literary, and other discourses in order to trace the discursive formation of race in Canada while considering how such a formation constructed the racialized figure of the Slav. Historians working in the field of Whiteness Studies have established the racialization of various Europeans outside of whiteness in the United States.
