    TULIP TIME, U. S. A.: STAGING MEMORY, IDENTITY AND ETHNICITY IN DUTCH-AMERICAN COMMUNITY FESTIVALS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Terence Guy Schoone-Jongen, M. A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Thomas Postlewait, Advisor Professor Dorothy Noyes Professor Alan Woods Adviser Theatre Graduate Program ABSTRACT Throughout the United States, thousands of festivals, like St. Patrick’s Day in New York City or the Greek Festival and Oktoberfest in Columbus, annually celebrate the ethnic heritages, values, and identities of the communities that stage them. Combining elements of ethnic pride, nostalgia, sentimentality, cultural memory, religous values, political positions, economic motive, and the spirit of celebration, these festivals are well-organized performances that promote a community’s special identity and heritage. At the same time, these festivals usually reach out to the larger community in an attempt to place the ethnic community within the American fabric. These festivals have a complex history tied to the “melting pot” history of America. Since the twentieth century many communities and ethnic groups have struggled to hold onto or reclaim a past that gradually slips away. Ethnic heritage festivals are one prevalent way to maintain this receding past. And yet such ii festivals can serve radically different aims, socially and politically. In this dissertation I will investigate how these festivals are presented and why they are significant for both participants and spectators. I wish to determine what such festivals do and mean. I will examine five Dutch American festivals, three of which are among the oldest ethnic heritage festivals in the United States.

    Mildred Fish Harnack: the Story of a Wisconsin Woman’S Resistance

    Teachers’ Guide Mildred Fish Harnack: The Story of A Wisconsin Woman’s Resistance Sunday, August 7 – Sunday, November 27, 2011 Special Thanks to: Jane Bradley Pettit Foundation Greater Milwaukee Foundation Rudolf & Helga Kaden Memorial Fund Funded in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council, with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the State of Wisconsin. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this project do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Introduction Mildred Fish Harnack was born in Milwaukee; attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison; she was the only American woman executed on direct order of Adolf Hitler — do you know her story? The story of Mildred Fish Harnack holds many lessons including: the power of education and the importance of doing what is right despite great peril. ‘The Story of a Wisconsin Woman’s Resistance’ is one we should regard in developing a sense of purpose; there is strength in the knowledge that one individual can make a difference by standing up and taking action in the face of adversity. This exhibit will explore the life and work of Mildred Fish Harnack and the Red Orchestra. The exhibit will allow you to explore Mildred Fish Harnack from an artistic, historic and literary standpoint and will provide your students with a different perspective of this time period. The achievements of those who were in the Red Orchestra resistance organization during World War II have been largely unrecognized; this is an opportunity to celebrate their heroic action. Through Mildred we are able to examine life within Germany under the Nazi regime and gain a better understanding of why someone would risk her life to stand up to injustice.

    Libertas Schulze-Boysen und die Rote Kapelle Libertas Schulze-Boysen und die Rote Kapelle Der Großvater, Fürst Philipp Eulenburg zu Hertefeld, Familie genießt als Jugendfreund des Kaisers lange Zeit des- sen Vertrauen und gilt am Hofe als sehr einflussreich. und Nach öffentlichen Anwürfen wegen angeblicher Kindheit homosexueller Neigungen lebt der Fürst seit 1908 zurückgezogen in Liebenberg. Aus der Ehe mit der schwedischen Gräfin Auguste von Sandeln gehen sechs Kinder hervor. 1909 heiratet die jüngste Tochter Victoria den Modegestalter Otto Haas-Heye, einen Mann mit großer Ausstrahlung. Die Familie Haas- Heye lebt zunächst in Garmisch, dann in London und seit 1911 in Paris. Nach Ottora und Johannes kommt Libertas am 20. November 1913 in Paris zur Welt. Ihr Vorname ist dem „Märchen von der Freiheit“ entnom- men, das Philipp Eulenburg zu Hertefeld geschrieben hat. Die Mutter wohnt in den Kriegsjahren mit den Kindern in Liebenberg. 1921 stirbt der Großvater, und die Eltern lassen sich scheiden. Nach Privatunterricht in Liebenberg besucht Libertas seit 1922 eine Schule in Berlin. Ihr Vater leitet die Modeabteilung des Staatlichen Kunstgewerbemu- seums in der Prinz-Albrecht-Straße 8. Auf den weiten Fluren spielen die Kinder. 1933 wird dieses Gebäude Sitz der Gestapozentrale. Die Zeichenlehrerin Valerie Wolffenstein, eine Mitarbeiterin des Vaters, nimmt sich der Kinder an und verbringt mit ihnen den Sommer 1924 in der Schweiz. 4 Geburtstagsgedicht Es ist der Vorabend zum Geburtstag des Fürsten. Libertas erscheint in meinem Zimmer. Sie will ihr Kästchen für den Opapa fertig kleben[...] „Libertas, wie würde sich der Opapa freuen, wenn Du ein Gedicht in das Kästchen legen würdest!“ Sie jubelt, ergreift den Federhalter, nimmt das Ende zwischen die Lippen und läutet mit den Beinen.

    Swiss Music Entertainers on Tour Through the United States During the 1920S

    Old World Hillbillies: Swiss Music Entertainers on Tour through the United States during the 1920s by Christoph Wagner If you look through the pages of the Swiss immigrant press in the United States from the late nineteenth century—such as the Amerikanische Schweizer Zeitung published in New York or the Schweizer Journal published in San Francisco—you get an idea of the public face of musical life of Swiss-Americans in those days. In a section headed “Schweizer Vereins-Direktory” (Swiss Clubs Directory) you find announcements of the weekly rehearsal times of the different singing clubs. They are mainly mens’ choirs, like the Jura Männerchor New York, the Wilhelm Tell Männerchor in Brooklyn, or the Schweizer Männerchor in Philadelphia. More rare are mixed choirs like the Helvetia Gemischter Chor New York, but their short announcements read very much the same: “Gesang Abend jeden Freitag Abend in No. 64 Ost 4. Str. Anfang um 8 Uhr. Sänger und Sängerinnen, sowie Freunde des Gesanges, sind herzlich zum Besuche eingeladen.” (“Singing every Friday evening at No. 64 East Fourth Street. Begin: 8 o’clock. Singers, and friends of singing, are very welcome.”) The highlights in the life of these singing clubs were public performances that were mostly part of larger events like patriotic, religious, or traditional festivals, such as the so called Grütli-Fest or the Schweizerfest, on Christmas and New Year’s Eve, or the Basler Fastnacht, the Carnival of Basle. For these events every effort was made and all strings pulled to create a memorable event that followed a well-defined pattern.

I proceeded from the assumption that powerful propaganda has to contain certain phrases which do not necessarily mean anything, which sound good, but which still stand for a programme. I may have chosen the name intuitively since at that time I was directly under the influence of the Span- ish romances 'Rosa Blanca' by Brentano.

    Speaker 1: 00:05 This is the Thank You, 72 podcast brought to you by the Wisconsin Alumni Association. This podcast salutes outstanding Badgers from every one of Wisconsin’s 72 counties. Here’s your host, Tod Pritchard. Tod Pritchard: 00:16 The sound of a single haunting cello plays in Middleton’s Marshall Park on the shores of Lake Mendota. A large crowd gathers on a brilliant sun-splashed afternoon. It’s the kind of day one Milwaukee native and UW grad would have loved, the woman everyone is here to remember and celebrate. Her name: Mildred Fish-Harnack. Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes- Conway steps up to the microphone. Satya R.: 00:44 Thank you. Today we are honoring the life, legacy, and heroic anti-Nazi resistance work of Mildred Fish-Harnack, UW– Madison alumnus, who was the only American civilian executed by the Nazis for her work to save lives, foster peace, and create a more just society. Tod Pritchard: 01:10 A large, black sculpture glistens in the sun behind the mayor and the other speakers. The art piece being dedicated on this day is simply called Mildred by John Durbrow. Who was Mildred Fish-Harnack? Hers is an unlikely love story set at UW–Madison, which becomes a war story set in Nazi Germany. Her saga, tragic, misunderstood, and then lost, is now being rediscovered. Let me tell you the story of Mildred Fish-Harnack. Tod Pritchard: 01:47 She was born on September 16th, 1902, one of four children. Mildred grew up on the west side of Milwaukee.
