Antonia Sentner's Fight Against Deportation: An Example Of The Federal Government's Fight Against Communism, Claire Wehking
Antonia Sentner's Fight Against Deportation: An Example Of The Federal Government's Fight Against Communism, Claire Wehking
Undergraduate Research Symposium
In the 20th century, the United States government used deportation as a tool to circumvent certain Constitutional protections in order to crack down on radicalism. This tactic was used in both the first and second “Red Scares.” In the 1940 and 1950s, a St. Louis deportation case rose to national prominence as it progressed through the federal court system. Antonia Sentner was the wife of Communist Party U.S.A. member and local labor leader, William Sentner. Her requests for naturalization were denied, even though her husband and children were born in the United States and she had lived here since she …
The White Rose: German Resistance During The Third Reich, Kelli Dockery
The White Rose: German Resistance During The Third Reich, Kelli Dockery
Undergraduate Research Symposium
From 1942 to 1943, a small group of university students in Munich produced and distributed a series of leaflets criticizing the Nazi regime and demanding passive resistance from German citizens. These leaflets would later lead to the capture and execution of all six core members as well as several of their associates. The purpose of this presentation is to answer questions that still linger about the White Rose. How were they able to distribute so many leaflets when the Nazi Party controlled every aspect of daily life? Why were they so passionate about resistance when they were not members of …
Sounds Of The Reich: Nazi Party Radio And Speeches, Katelyn Hanners
Sounds Of The Reich: Nazi Party Radio And Speeches, Katelyn Hanners
Undergraduate Research Symposium
Radio broadcasts and speeches were key aspects of Nazi regime propaganda. From March 1927 to when the Nazi party won power in March 1933, Hitler made 455 public appearances, reaching close to 4.5 million people. Radio was the leading medium during the Great Depression and during all of WWII. Nazi propaganda focused on the effectiveness of the message, not the means through which it was relayed. Nazis liked simplistic and straightforward ideas with no underlying interpretations. Studies have shown that campaigns do not change the opinions of the masses. Rather, they confirm what the people already believe. In the case …
Constraints On Art During The Nazi Era And The Shift To Modern Art After World War Ii, Aria Spencer
Constraints On Art During The Nazi Era And The Shift To Modern Art After World War Ii, Aria Spencer
Undergraduate Research Symposium
Due to the severe anti-Semitic beliefs expressed by the Nazi Regime both during and before World War II, the production of art was censored to fit the governments ideal perception of the regime. This caused forms of modern art and expressionism to be deemed dirty or unfit for Germans. The Nazis associated modern art with Judaism and destroyed both the art and the artists. Once the Nazis were removed from power, there was a surge in the creation of modern art. World War II and the defeat of the Nazis prompted a large expressionistic art movement throughout Germany. Through the …
The Allies And The Holocaust, Mark Granicke
The Allies And The Holocaust, Mark Granicke
Undergraduate Research Symposium
During World War II, Nazi Germany carried out one of the most atrocious crimes in human history, the Holocaust. This systematic extermination of approximately 6 million Jews, along with other groups between 1941-1945, has become a focal point of modern human history. It is difficult to grasp the sheer magnitude of the undertaking by the Nazis. One question often asked is why the Allies did not do more to prevent this massacre. Were they simply ignorant of the entire event during the war? Knowing today the sheer magnitude of the Holocaust, it is difficult to believe knowledge of it would …
Puerto Rican Heritage In The Twentieth Century: Empire, Statecraft, And Resistance, Lara Kelland
Puerto Rican Heritage In The Twentieth Century: Empire, Statecraft, And Resistance, Lara Kelland
History Faculty Works
Articulations of heritage are, among other things, rhetorical tools that explain the shape of the past and also plot out particular visions for the future. During “the American Century,” overlapping, intersecting, and conflicting interpretations of the Puerto Rican past have served, at turns, as a justification for US colonialism, as a call to revolutionary arms to overthrow the US government, and as expressions of numerous positions between.1 But always, narratives of the past reflect the positionality of the individuals and the political vision of the groups and agencies shaping it. This article provides a brief overview of the ways in …
