When invited by the Europas Parkas Museum in Vilnius to be their first painter in residence she decided to draw Jewish culture as her family roots go back to 18th century Lithuania. She draws what she sees: the vast forests and their dark secrets, the poor people that now live in the homes where Jews once lived, dilapidated buildings, synagogues and cemeteries, and the churches that still loom over the old Jewish areas. Additional information and quirky captions give a sense of the present day struggles of Lithuania's small Jewish community. With introductory articles by John Russell Taylor, The Times art critic, and by Aubrey Newman, Associate Director of the Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust Studies, University of Leicester."--BOOK JACKET.

The article "Germany should be Fit for War" by the historian Alex Dreger is devoted to the comparative analyses of the publication dated October 7, 1894, in "Dortmund Newspaper" (Dortmunder Zeitung) that critically examined Wilhelm Liebknecht's speech in the Reichstag, in which one of the leaders of the SPD introduced a proposal for an army reform in accordance with the political views of Marxists on the armed forces. 4. The article "Do the Soviet Germans Have a Future?" is based on the presentation made on 8 October 1989 in Bonn by the leader of the Russia-German movement Hugo Wormsbecher at the congress of the Association for Germanness Abroad (Verein für das Deutschtum im Ausland - VDA).

The analytical treatise "Moscow is Burning, Moscow is Raging" by Robert Korn is devoted to the anti-German Pogroms in Moscow in May 1915. "Economic measures against Russia-Germans, i.e. the destruction of their enterprises and the deprivation of their property led to an acute aggravation of the social situation, first of all, of the Russian people. The deportation of Russia-Germans, who had been ruined and socially humiliated by the authorities, to the overcrowded central and eastern provinces led to a food supplies' crisis." The paper is written in Russian and preceded by an extended English abstract.

Download or read book Comparative Studies on Regional and National Economic Development written by Hui Zhang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to quantify the role of the world's major economies in the international division from the perspective of global value chains and clarify the value cycle system between China and developed and developing economies. This book establishes a theoretical paradigm that conforms to the current world economic structure. That is, the world economic structure gradually shifts from a single-cycle model centered on developed countries to a more complex dual-circulation model. Furthermore, based on the analysis of the current world economic situation, it also analyzes the interaction between trade and investment and the synergistic effect of the Corridors under the Belt and Road Initiative. The first part of the book brings a better understanding of mutual relationships between trade and investment under the Belt and Road Initiative and broadens the research fields of relevant studies. Additionally, comprehensive and specific country research is particularly conducted in this book. By analyzing the economic indicators, reviewing social history and social-economic development, covering various countries along the Belt and Road, it provides deep exploration of the fields and approaches of the most potential cooperation under the purpose of "Peace, Development, Cooperation and Win-Win." Therefore, this part draws a broad map of economic and cultures in order to provide a reference and assistance for promoting the Belt and Road Initiative. Fulfilling this vision, this book hopes to deepen the understanding of economic development of each relevant economy to encourage the participation of economies in regional connectivity.

Book excerpt: For most of the twentieth century, American and European intellectual life was defined by its fascination with a particular utopian vision. Both the artistic and political vanguards were spellbound by the Communist promise of a new human era—so much so that its political terrors were rationalized as a form of applied evolution and its collapse hailed as the end of history.The Red Atlantisargues that Communism produced a complex culture with a dialectical relation to both modernism and itself. Offering examples ranging from the Stalinist show trial to Franz Kafka's posthumous career as a dissident writer And The work of filmmakers, painters, and writers, which can be understood only as criticism of existing socialism made from within,The Red Atlantissuggests that Communism was an aesthetic project—perhapstheaesthetic project of the twentieth century. Author note:J. Hoberman, staff writer for theVillage Voice, writes on film and culture for theVoice, theVoice Literary Supplement,Artforum, and other publications.
