English | Soldiershop | ISBN: 889327776X | 85 pages | EPUB | 7.27 Mb
Eighty years ago, exactly in the summer of 1941, on June 22, 1941, German military forces invaded the Soviet Union, beginning one of the largest military campaigns of the entire Second World War. We will start from this issue of the magazine to retrace the fundamental stages of the war on the Eastern front, dealing, as always, mainly with foreign voluntary units. Let's now analyze the contents of this new issue of the magazine. Let's start with the history of the Walloon Legion on the Eastern front, we continue with the second part of the history of the Frikorps Danmark, with the use of the Nord Division in the summer of 1941 on the Finnish front and finally we close with an article dedicated to the insignia used by the Italian volunteers in the Waffen SS.

The Art of Being Jewish in Modern Times

The Art of Being Jewish in Modern Times
The Art of Being Jewish in Modern Times By Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett; Jonathan Karp
2008 | 464 Pages | ISBN: 0812240022 | PDF | 7 MB
The wide-ranging portrayal of modern Jewishness in artistic terms invites scrutiny into the relationship between creativity and the formation of Jewish identity and into the complex issue of what makes a work of art uniquely Jewish. Whether it is the provenance of the artist, as in the case of popular Israeli singer Zehava Ben, the intention of the iconography, as in Ben Shahn's antifascist paintings, or the utopian ideals of the Jewish Palestine Pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair, clearly no single formula for defining Jewish art in the diaspora will suffice.The Art of Being Jewish in Modern Times is the first work to analyze modern Jewry's engagement with the arts as a whole, including music, theater, dance, film, museums, architecture, painting, sculpture, and more. Working with a broad conception of what counts as art, the book asks the following questions: What roles have commerce and politics played in shaping Jewish artistic agendas? Who determines the Jewishness of art and for what purposes? What role has aesthetics played in reshaping religious traditions and rituals?This richly illustrated volume illuminates how the arts have helped Jews confront the various challenges of modernity, including cultural adaptation and self-preservation, economic diversification, and ritual transformation. There truly is an art to being Jewish in the modern world--or, alternatively, an art to being modern in the Jewish world--and this collection fully captures its range, diversity, and historical significance.

Terror and Democracy in the Age of Stalin The Social Dynamics of Repression

Terror and Democracy in the Age of Stalin The Social Dynamics of Repression
Terror and Democracy in the Age of Stalin: The Social Dynamics of Repression By Wendy Z. Goldman
2007 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0521866146 | PDF | 12 MB
Terror and Democracy in Stalin's Russia is the first book devoted exclusively to popular participation in the Great Terror, a period in which millions of people were arrested, interrogated, shot, and sent to labor camps. In the unions and the factories, repression was accompanied by a mass campaign for democracy. Party leaders urged workers to criticize and remove corrupt and negligent officials. Workers, shop foremen, local Party members, and union leaders adopted the slogans of repression and used them, often against each other, to redress long-standing grievances. Using new, formerly secret archival sources, Terror and Democracy in Stalin's Russia shows how ordinary people moved in clear stages toward madness and self-destruction. Wendy Z. Goldman is a professor of history at Carnegie Mellon University. She is author of Women, the State and Revolution: Soviet Family Policy and Social Life, 1917-1936 (Cambridge, 1993), winner of the Berkshire Conference Book Award, as well as Women at the Gates: Gender and Industry in Stalin's Russia (Cambridge, 2002).
