  • Americans and the Holocaust Teacher Guide Interpreting News of World Events 1933–1938
    AMERICANS AND THE HOLOCAUST TEACHER GUIDE INTERPRETING NEWS OF WORLD EVENTS 1933–1938 ushmm.org/americans AMERICANS AND THE HOLOCAUST INTERPRETING NEWS OF WORLD EVENTS 1933–1938 OVERVIEW By examining news coverage around three key events related to the early warning signs of the Holocaust, students will learn that information about the Nazi persecution of European Jews was available to the public. They will also consider the question of what other issues or events were competing for Americans’ attention and concern at the same time. Despite the many issues that were on their minds during the period 1933–1938, some Americans took actions to help persecuted Jews abroad, with varying degrees of effectiveness. This lesson explores the following questions: n How did Americans learn about the Nazi persecution of Jews in Europe in the context of other international, national, and local news stories? How did they make sense of these events? HISTORY KEY QUESTIONS EXPLORED 1. What information about the Nazi persecution of Jews was being reported in the news media throughout the United States? 2. What else was being covered in the news and competing for the public’s attention during this period? 3. How did Americans respond to this knowledge? What impact did these actions have? 4. How might competing issues have influenced the willingness of the American public to respond to the early persecution of Jews in Europe? HISTORY LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Students will learn that information about the persecution of European Jews was available in newspapers throughout the United States. 2. Students will understand that competing concerns influenced the willingness of the American people to respond to this persecution.

  • 3 Merhavia (1921–1925)
    3 Merhavia (1921–1925) Almost from the moment she set foot in dusty, hot and humid Tel Aviv, Golda was determined to leave the cluster of small yellow buildings, unpaved streets and and sand dunes that tried to pass as the world’s “first Hebrew city”, and fulfill her dream of living on a kibbutz. She jokingly echoed the general feeling that instead of milk and honey there was plenty of sand. She had a vague idea of what life on a kibbutz would be like, how it was organized and functioned. What she knew was more of a myth than the harsh reality, but enough to convince her that this should be the life for a young and idealistic couple. Perhaps one of the main errors committed by Golda and her group was to immigrate to Palestine without even seeking the moral, organizational and mainly financial backing of a large social and political body. Since they came on their own, nobody felt any moral obligation to look after their needs, offer assis- tance and suggest job and housing possibilities in the new country. Golda and her friends were not aware of the fact that they were part of what became known as the Third Aliyah (wave of immigration to Palestine) which started in 1919 and ended in the mid 1920’s. They followed in the footsteps of the Second Aliyah (1904–1914), whose members were the founding fathers of Israel, men who would play a key role in Golda’s future work and private life. Among them were David Ben-Gurion, Berl Katznelson, David Remez and Zalman Shazar.

    Posted 8/31/20 UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, DARTMOUTH Syllabus Seminar: European History: HST 521/402 Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust FALL 2020 Time/Location: ONLINE (LIVE ON ZOOOM via MyCourses) Mondays: 5:00-7:30PM (Two Tuesdays: 9/29; 10/13) Instructor: Dr. Ilana F. Offenberger Office Hours: By appointment online via MyCourses Telephone – 978 590 9961/ Email: [email protected] Course Description: Did Jews resist during the Holocaust? When, where, why, and/or why not? This seminar will deepen our understanding of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust and explore what it meant for Jews to resist. We will begin with an overview of resistance and then turn to three focus points, followed by students’ individual research and presentations. Both armed and unarmed resistance will be discussed and analyzed throughout this course. As a class we will investigate: 1. Non-Confrontational Resistance and Confrontational Non-Violence (also referred to as spiritual or cultural resistance) in the Ghettos (with a focus on the Warsaw Ghetto, documentation through the Oneg Shabbos Archive, and artwork/literature produced in the Theresienstadt concentration camp in former Czechoslovakia); 2. Armed/Violent Resistance in the form of a planned attack, focused on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943; and 3. Armed/Violent Resistance in the form of partisan action, concentrated on the Bielski Group in Belarus. Philosophy, Course Goals,and Objectives This is not a lecture course. Beyond an introductory lecture or two, the (online) classroom experience will revolve around the discussion and analysis of assigned reading materials. You must come to class prepared by doing the readings and taking notes; the instructor will direct as much as participate in the discussion sessions but it is expected that you, individually and collectively with others, will drive the dialogue.

  • The Following Entry Is Taken from the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, Israel Gutman (Ed.), New York: Macmillan, 1990
    Koch, Erich (1896-1986), Nazi party functionary and governor of occupied territories. Born into a working family in Elberfeld, in the Rhineland, Koch graduated from a commercial secondary school and became a railway clerk. In World War I he served as a private, and when the war was over he fought in the ranks of the Freikorps - irregular volunteer units - against the French. Koch was among the first to join the Nazi party (his membership card was No. 90). In 1928 he was appointed Gauleiter of East Prussia, and in 1930 was elected as one of East Prussia's Reichstag deputies. When the Nazis came to power he also became the Oberprasident (governor) of the region. In 1941 Koch was appointed Reichskommissar of the Ukraine and governor of the Bialystok district over the objections of Alfred rosenberg, the minister of occupied territories in the east, who wanted exclusive jurisdiction in the area. Through these appointments Koch came to govern extensive territories, ranging from Konigsberg on the Baltic to the shores of the Black Sea. His treatment of the inhabitants of these territories was exceedingly harsh and cruel; his aim was to implement the ideas of Hitler and Himmler regarding the total subjugation of the Slav peoples. Koch frequently went over Rosenberg's head, although Rosenberg was nominally his superior. After the war, Koch lived for several years in Schleswig-Holstein, under an assumed name. He was arrested by the British occupation forces and extradited to Poland in 1950. In 1959 he was put on trial in Warsaw, and on March 9 of that year was sentenced to death by hanging.

Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Guarding the Historical Record from the Nazi-Era Art Litigation Tumbling Toward the Supreme Court
    ESSAY GUARDING THE HISTORICAL RECORD FROM THE NAZI-ERA ART LITIGATION TUMBLING TOWARD THE SUPREME COURT † JENNIFER ANGLIM KREDER When the modern wave of claims against museums to recover paintings “displaced” during the Nazi era began, I, as an academic, approached the claims cautiously because I assumed that our es- teemed institutions would not have knowingly profited from the spoli- ation of property belonging to millions of persecuted refugees. I was wrong. I have come to understand, based on objective, historically sound records, that a significant number of our museums during and in the aftermath of the Holocaust actively acquired art that they knew or should have recognized likely came from Jewish homes and busi- nesses. These museums acquired this exquisite art despite widespread knowledge of Nazi looting and governmental warnings about the in- fection of the art market.1 Now, museums are using American courts to shut down inquiries into such art’s history by blocking claims on technical grounds,2 contrary to their own ethics guidelines3 and U.S. executive policy.4 † Jennifer Anglim Kreder is a Professor of Law at the Salmon P. Chase College of Law, Northern Kentucky University. She has been involved in Holocaust-era and art litigation since 1999 and currently serves as Co-Chair of the American Society of Inter- national Law Interest Group on Cultural Heritage and the Arts. 1 See Raymond J.
