Center for Georgia Studies
The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia: A Death Penalty Symposium
05.04.2002, Milledgeville, Georgia, USA
-
The death penalty in Georgia has always been a part of the state’s legal code. It has not, however, been completely accepted by all Georgians, and Americans, as the proper, or moral, method of punishment for certain crimes. This has sometimes caused bitter arguments over the issue. Often, both supporters and opponents of the death penalty are not informed about the subject and are unable to discuss the matter rationally - falling back on emotional rhetoric rather than relying on facts to support their argument.
This symposium will focus on the history of the death penalty in Georgia and how it has impacted both state and national procedures for cases involving the death penalty. Some of the presentations will be: Georgia's "Bloody Codes", an overview of the death penalty issue in the twentieth century, Coker v. Georgia, Furman v. Georgia, Gregg v. Georgia, challenges to the death penalty, and a talk by a former death row inmate. The two day symposium will end with a public forum.

Fortbildung des Landeswohlfahrtsverbandes Hessen
Hadamar - Gedenkstaette fuer die Opfer der NS-"Euthanasie"-Verbrechen
Wie wurde der Krankenmord moeglich? Aerztinnen und Aerzte, Krankenschwestern und -pfleger im Nationalsozialismus [in German]
17.04.2002, 10-16 h, Gedenkstaette Hadamar, Moenchberg 8, D-65589 Hadamar
-
Seminarleitung: Uta George
"Von 1941 bis 1945 wurden in der damaligen Heil- und Pflegeanstalt in Hadamar circa 15.000 Menschen ermordet. Die Opfer waren psychisch Kranke und geistig und koerperlich Behinderte, die Taeter und Taeterinnen waren Aerzte und Aerztinnen, Krankenschwestern und Krankenpfleger.
Die als NS-"Euthanasie"-Verbrechen bekannt gewordenen Morde wurden nicht von der SS geplant, sondern von Aerzten und von Ministerialbeamten aus der Reichsregierung.
Die Morde fanden nicht in den Vernichtungslagern in Polen statt, sondern in psychiatrischen Anstalten mitten in Deutschland. Hauptverantwortliche vor Ort waren somit Aerzte, deren Verpflichtung auf den Eid des Hippokrates sie eigentlich von der Teilnahme an diesen Morden haetten abhalten muessen. Eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Ausfuehrung der Morde uebernahmen aber auch Schwestern und Pfleger.
Wie konnte es geschehen, dass gerade jene Menschen, deren Beruf es war, zu heilen, zu helfen und zu pflegen, die ihnen anvertrauten kranken, behinderten und alten Menschen protestlos toeteten? Waren es "Bestien", die in ihrem Leben nur auf den Moment, toeten zu duerfen, gewartet hatten, oder handelte es sich um Menschen, die jede Anordnung ausfuehrten, unabhaengig davon, wie toedlich die Folge war?
Anhand von Prozessprotokollen aus dem Hadamar-Prozess von 1946/47 soll in dieser Fortbildung erarbeitet werden, welche Motive und Sachzwaenge die Beteiligten fuer ihr Mitwirken an den "Euthanasie"-Verbrechen angegeben haben.
Waren die Angeklagten nur ausfuehrende Organe einer perfekt durchstrukturierten Verwaltung, die ihnen jede persoenliche Verantwortung abnahm? Zu welchem Zeitpunkt haette die Moeglichkeit bzw. Pflicht bestanden, "nein" zu sagen?
Von diesem Spannungsfeld aus soll ueber Verantwortung und Abhaengigkeit, Befehl und Gehorsam, Ethik und Menschenbild diskutiert werden."

Since September 11th entirely new nightmares have swept the world which have produced heightened states of anxiety. How can we understand anxiety as a 'state of mind'? How does anxiety seep into the pores of our culture and everyday lives? What kind of shock to the North American psyche did September 11th bring? How may psychoanalytic insights contribute to our understanding of fundamentalism and Bush's war against terror? These are among the questions that this one day event will explore.

Simon Dubnow Institute, American Jewish Committee (Berlin Office), US Consulate General Leipzig
Ambiguous Relations: The American Jewish Community and Germany since 1945
15.04.2002, 10:30 am - 6:00 pm, Simon Dubnow Institute, Goldschmidtstr. 28, D-04103 Leipzig
-
In his book "Ambiguous Relations: The American Jewish Community and Germany since 1945" (Wayne State Press: Detroit 1999), Israeli historian Shlomo Shafir has described how leading representatives of the American Jewish community confronted Germany after the Holocaust. He shows that despite understandable strong anti-German feelings and the ongoing ambivalence among the Jewish population, major American Jewish organizations, for different reasons, helped mitigating the impact of that hostility in the liberal American opinion. By recalling the lessons of the past and at the same time building bridges between Germans and Jews, they eventually contributed to deepen Germany's democratic development as well as to strengthen the American-German relationship.
Shafir focuses on the period between 1945 and 1995 and deals with crucial issues, such as the controversial "Wiedergutmachung" policy or, much later, the notorious Bitburg affair. Shafir examines the motives and responses of American Jewish leaders and their relations with the German and American governments.
The workshop will bring together scholars with persons who are actively involved in the German-American dialogue. The aim of the workshop is to foster closer relationships and to reflect on the issues raised by Shlomo Shafir.

ICAR - The information centre about asylum and refugees in the UK
-
ICAR exists to promote understanding of asylum and refugees in the UK and to encourage information-based debate and policy-making.
ICAR is an independent centre set up to collect, compile and disseminate up to date, comprehensive and academically credible information about refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. It responds to the need for authoritative, independently generated information for democratic debate, and for a counterweight to misinformation and stereotyping in press coverage and political discussion. Its aim is to promote understanding of asylum and refugee issues in the interests of everyone in the community.
It will bring together and synthesise local and national statistics, information and data from universities and public policy institutes, refugee and other voluntary sector agencies. It will publish attributable up to date easily usable information to put issues of current concern into perspective and will campaign for better data and more comprehensive statistics to raise the level of public debate. ICAR will only draw conclusions and state opinions where it believes the data justifies them, and will challenge misstatement and manipulation of statistics on the same basis. It will disseminate its information on a website that is tested for its accessibility to a wide range of users, in print, and in other ways that promote information based public discussion. ICAR©2002

Traumatisierungen von Fluechtlingen und Asyl Suchenden. Einfluss des politischen, sozialen und medizinischen Kontextes /
Traumatizations of Refugees and Asylum Seekers: The Relevance of the Political, Social and Medical Context [in English and German]
Zuerich, Seismo Verlag, 2001. ISBN 3908239877
-
Traumatizations of refugees and asylum seekers is a topic of high importance at the present time. In spite of intensive debates within various disciplines in the field of trauma there remains a considerable need for further reflection and action. The different essays in the volume make use of a holistic and multidimensional approach in order to integrate the complex and interrelated consequences of torture, war and organized violence. The authors, scientists as well as practitioners, work out the main dimensions of traumatization. They also demonstrate how theory and practice can complete each other, and how constructive and innovative theoretical concepts can be applied in the practical work. The theory-based essays in this volume outline a conceptual framework which leads towards a more dynamic, process-oriented and contextual understanding of traumatization and represents a shift from the conventional therapeutic setting to a socially enlarged vision of support. The practice-oriented essays illustrate the socio-cultural, political and migration-specific dimensions of traumatization and present new ways of creating mutual understanding, building up supportive therapeutic structures, and making use of the individual and collective resources of trauma survivors.
Thus readers of all professions concerned with extremely traumatized refugees and asylum seekers may find in this volume a theoretical background as well as contributions with a great relevance for clinical treatment, counseling, and nursing care.
The authors are specialists in the fields of psychology, medicine, and medical anthropology and draw on a large experience from working with the extremely traumatized in an international context. The editors have been working for several years on the topic of torture, war, organized violence and trauma from a medical anthropological viewpoint within different projects and institutions. They are members of the Swiss Interdisciplinary Commission on Medical Anthropology (CIAM).
