Battle For The Minds: Use Of Propaganda Films In Stalinist Russia And Nazi Germany, David Rosenblum

Since the end of the Second World War, scholars and experts have examined the use of cinema in spreading totalitarian propaganda. Nazi Germany, in particular, has caught the most attention.

To accomplish this, this study will examine and directly compare several critical components, such as industry structure and artistic merits, …

The Lingenhoel family were one of a great many Germans enduring hunger, famine, and denazification in the immediate postwar period.

A Dickensian Utilitarianism, Zachary Allentuck

This paper argues that Charles Dickens' political and world views were in sympathy with Utilitarianism, as defined by Jeremy Bentham. The Utilitarianism Dickens attacked in A Christmas Carol, Hard Times, and Little Dorrit was not real utilitarianism; it was utilitarianism appropriated by England's middle-class.

There were many religious explanations for the Plague, but the main medical explanation was the spread of bad air, or …

However, by the mid-1930s, their was a frustrated awareness among the youth that the regime had not fulfilled its promise to deliver Italy to glory. Young citizens were denied a voice in the government and they became disillusioned with Fascism.
