  • Geislingen's DP Children Remember
    June 26, 2009 – Introducing a new book about Estonians When the Noise Had Ended: Geislingen’s DP Children Remember Compiled by Mai Maddisson Edited by Priit Vesilind Summary : The youngest victims of WWII search their memories to tell how they and their families escaped the Red Army to find refuge in a displaced persons’ camp in post-war Germany – more than 60 years ago. Sometimes horrifying, often unflinchingly honest, their stories and intimate photographs offer glimpses of a brave but artificial world – through the eyes of the very small. Surviving the end of World War II Europe in the spring of 1945 was awash with more than seven million refugees. Many would go home again, but for those who had fled from newly occupied countries bordering the Soviet Union – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania among them – war’s end meant exile from their homelands. To return would mean banishment to Siberia, even execution at Soviet hands. Their bitter option was to remain in post-war Germany, which was divided into f our “Occupation Zones” controlled by the Allies – Great Britain, France, the USSR, and the United States – until they could find countries willing to accept them. They were housed in temporary camps, and the largest camp of Estonians was established by the U.S. Army and UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency) in the American Zone, in a mid-sized town in the scenic Württemberg region of southwest Germany, Geislingen an der Steige. Geislingen was the haven where the refugees could begin to heal from the terror of war. Many were burnt out, their nerves battered by their journeys.

President Bush called it the largest USAF photo by Steve Zapka increase since the 1980s. He announced his intention during the State of the Union address Jan. 29, saying, “While the price of free- dom and security is high, it is never too high. Whatever it costs to defend our country, we will pay.” Bush stated that it cost more than a billion dollars a month to fund op- erations in Afghanistan. He added, “Afghanistan proved that expensive precision weapons defeat the enemy and spare innocent lives, and we need more of them.” He also said that the US military Col.

  • “Brass” Ceiling: Elite Military Women’S Strategies for Success
    ABSTRACT Title: BREAKING THROUGH THE “BRASS” CEILING: ELITE MILITARY WOMEN’S STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS. Darlene Marie Iskra, Ph.D., 2007 Directed by: Professor Mady Wechsler Segal, Department of Sociology People who rise to the top of any organization must have a dedication and determination that distinguishes them from their co-workers. White men historically have held these positions due to discriminatory practices by employers, protectionist legislation, and social constructs about their leadership capabilities and motivation. Inroads into these elite positions are being made, however, both in the corporate world and in the military, by women and minority men. This study examines the women who have risen to the top of a masculine institution, and the strategies they used to “break through the brass ceiling” and become General and Flag Officers. Data were collected through several methods, including content analysis of their military biographies, self- administered surveys, and selected interviews. Results generally indicate that the women overcame the challenges they faced and took advantage of opportunities that arose. They rarely said “no” to a challenge; they did not question their ability to succeed simply due to gender, and they overwhelmingly had a positive attitude and loved the military institution. However, the ability for the women to navigate the masculine organization of the military would not have been possible without a vibrant support system, which included mentors, and supportive spouses and family. Mentorship was an important factor in the women’s ability to navigate the system; mentors provided career guidance, opened opportunities, and provided personal support and advice when needed. Many also had an active family life.
