The thesis is a study of the Jewish community of Leipzig, Germany over the course of the 20 th century. It begins with an overview of the Jews of the city until the rise to power of Adolf Hitler, emphasizing divisions with the Jewish community over the ideology of Zionism and between German-born and foreign-born Jews. It goes on to describe the lives of Jews as the Nazis come to state authority, the riots of November, 1938, and the gradual exclusion of Jews from professional and pubic life in the city. Jewish responses in education, politics and culture are examined, as are the decisions of many local people to emigrate. After the 1938 riots, exclusion began to shift to extermination, and the Jewish community found itself subject to deportation to camps in Eastern Europe. Most of those deported were murdered. Those who lived were able to do so because of good fortune, canny survival skills, or marriage to non-Jews. Jewish life, which had been an important part of the city, was systematically destroyed. After 1945, those few who survived in the city were joined by another handful of Jewish Leipzigers who survived the camps, and by some non-Leipzig Jews, to reform the Jewish community. A tiny percentage of the old Jewish world of Leipzig was left to rebuild. They did so, reestablishing institutions, reclaiming property, and beginning negotiations with the new authorities, the Soviet occupation and then the German Democratic Republic. The Jews of Leipzig continued some of their old concerns in this new world, negotiating with the government and among themselves the nature of their identities as Jews and as Germans. These negotiations were brought to a halt by a series of anti-Semitic purges in 1952 and 1953. The leadership of the Jewish community fled, as did many of their fellow-Jews. The behavior of the East German state at this point showed some surprising commonality with their Nazi predecessors. After the purges were over, those who remained began another process of rebuilding, this time in constant tension with a government that wanted to use them for propaganda purposes during the Cold War. With the fall of the communist regime in 1989-90, the Jewish community of Leipzig was able to chart its destiny again. The old issues of identity and community--among themselves and between Jews and their German neighbors--continue in a very different context. ; Willigham legt mit seiner Dissertation aus dem Jahre 2005 eine umfangreiche und umfassende Arbeit zum jüdischen Leben in Leipzig währen des 20. Jahrhunderts vor. Es geht ihm dabei um die Kontinuitäten und Diskontinuitäten im Deutsch-Jüdischen-Verhältnis während der Weimarer Republik, des Dritten Reiches und der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik. Zweiter Schwerpunkt seiner Betrachtungen ist das Selbstbild der in Deutschland lebenden Juden im Spannungsfeld zwischen Liberalität und Assimilation einerseits und Orthodoxie und Zionismus andererseits. Ein Ergebnis der Arbeit ist die Herausarbeitung der Rolle der Juden als Mittel der Legitimierung und Selbstdefinition der betrachteten deutschen Staaten und die Bestimmung des Assimilationsgedankens als keineswegs von vornherein aussichtsloser Idee.

Review of issues and student discipline situations in schools in Serbia in the previous two centuries, the introduction and (or) a stimulus that, in another paper, the following placed the matrix, makes the parallels between the socio-historical and educational-correctional Serbian past and current state at the beginning of the new millennium, with severe forms of bullying in schools. This brief historical view of student disciplinary offenses, and predicted, and then carried out the disciplinary measures through legislation that maintains the fundamental values of Serbian society in the 19th and early 20th century, proved a reflection of the complex socio-historical developments in family, social, value and educational relations between the Serbian history that marked the milestone events and phenomena, especially the development of the turbulent political, social and cultural life of a young Serbian society. The paper, according to historical periods in the development of the school system in Serbia, provides an overview of student disciplinary offenses, imposed fines, and comparing the percentage of students in schools and then imposed disciplinary measures. ; Razmatranje pitanja i problema discipline učenika u školama u Srbiji u prethodna dva veka predstavlja uvod i(ili) podsticaj da se, u nekom drugom radu, sa postavljenom matricom, uporede društveno-istorijske i prosvetno-vaspitne prošlosti Srbije i aktuelnog stanja na početku novog milenijuma, bremenitog teškim oblicima nasilničkog ponašanja u školama. Ovaj kratak istorijski prikaz disciplinskih prestupa učenika, i predviđenih, a potom sprovedenih disciplinskih mera, na osnovu zakonske regulative koja odražava osnovne vrednosti srpskog društva u 19. i početkom 20. veka, dokazuje refleksiju kompleksa društveno-istorijskih kretanja na porodične, socijalne, vrednosne i vaspitno-obrazovne relacije u periodu srpske istorije koji su obeležila prekretnička zbivanja i pojave, a posebno buran razvoj političkog, društvenog i kulturnog života mladog srpskog društva. U radu se, prema istorijskim razdobljima u razvoju školskog sistema u Srbiji, daje pregled učeničkih disciplinskih prestupa, izrečenih kazni, ali i procentualna poređenja broja učenika u tadašnjim školama i izrečenih disciplinskih mera.

The past generation has witnessed a resurgence of religion in global politics, but political science has been slow to catch up with it. The reason lies in the secularism embedded in the field's major theories, one that reflects actual secularism in world politics, beginning with the events surrounding the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 and growing steadily through the middle twentieth century. Today, a small but growing number of political scientists have begun to explore religion, doing so in ways that depart from secular assumptions and embrace religion's distinctiveness to greater and lesser degrees.
