The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’S Multivalent Tower Of Faces, Grace Astrove Dec 2013

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’S Multivalent Tower Of Faces, Grace Astrove

Theses and Dissertations

Holocaust survivor Dr. Yaffa Eliach collected over 6,000 photographs depicting residents of Eishyshok, a small Jewish settlement in Eastern Europe, taken between 1890 and 1941. Eliach survived the Nazi-led massacre in 1941 that killed nearly the entire Jewish population of Eishyshok. As a way to commemorate the destroyed town of her youth she began to collect photographs from other survivors and residents who fled Europe prior to the Holocaust. She subsequently selected 1,032 photographs from the Yaffa Eliach Shtetl Collection for display in The Tower of Faces, a permanent exhibition in The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, located in Washington, …

Diversifying The Playing Field: Solo Performance Of African American Spirituals And Art Songs By Voice Students From All Racial Backgrounds, Emery Stephens, Caroline Helton

Music Faculty Research Publications

To further promote the performance of African American spirituals and art songs, this article offers a different perspective -- direct response from collegiate voice students, voice teachers, vocal coaches, and professional singers. In the spring of 2005, “The African American Art Song Survey” was developed and disseminated through the Internet to collect data from 220 voice teachers, coaches, and singers regarding their attitudes on performing African American classical vocal repertoire across racial backgrounds, receiving a response rate of 44% from 500 distributed surveys. Part I dealt with general demographic questions (gender, age, ethnic background, religious affiliation), and Part II addressed …

Studies in Jewish Civilization

This volume presents papers delivered at the 24th Annual Klutznick-Harris Symposium, held at Creighton University in October 2011. The contributors look at all aspects of the intimate relationship between Jews and clothing, through case studies from ancient, medieval, recent, and contemporary history.

Revisiting The Mandaeans And The New Testament, James F. Mcgrath Aug 2013

Revisiting The Mandaeans And The New Testament, James F. Mcgrath

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

The Mandaeans have been known to scholars for as long as there has been modern scholarship. Thanks to advances in technology, you can now find some of their ancient texts online, and videos of their baptismal rituals on YouTube. Yet as fascinating as the Mandaeans are, and as much as modern technologies can facilitate greater familiarity with them, the amount of attention that they receive is surprisingly sparse – although there are encouraging signs that that is at least beginning to change.

White Gloves Sessions: Towson University Raises Awareness About Unique Collection, Nadia Nasr, Joyce Garczynski Mar 2013

White Gloves Sessions: Towson University Raises Awareness About Unique Collection, Nadia Nasr, Joyce Garczynski

Staff publications, research, and presentations

Imagine this: You’re two years into your first job as an archivist and just as you’re moving into your institution’s recently renovated facilities, you receive a gem of a collection: nearly three thousand volumes of rare Judaica books dating from the fifteenth through twentieth centuries. Only half the collection is cataloged and most of the material is printed in languages other than English, including Hebrew, German, Russian, Polish, French, Latin, and Yiddish. Much of it is in need of conservation work, but you don’t have an in-house lab and would need funding to outsource the work. You immediately recognize the …

The University In Exile And The Garden Of Eden: Alvin Johnson And His Rescue Efforts For European Jews And Intellectuals, Gerald Steinacher, Brian Barmettler

Department of History: Faculty Publications

As the Nebraska Hall of Fame Commission noted, Johnson "gained national and international recognition as an economist, educator, humanitarian, social activist, writer and editor."79 Moreover, Johnson helped to save numerous Central European scholars - many of whom were Jewish or considered to be Jewish - from Nazi persecution. In addition to his academic writing, Johnson helped to author the nation's first nondiscrimination legislation and wrote two novels, three collections of short stories, and an autobiography. He received honorary doctorates from the New School for Social Research, the University of Nebraska, Brandeis University, Hebrew Union College, Yeshiva University, and the universities …
