Food security in Iran: Edareh-ye Arzaq, 1910-1935
"Until recent times, Iran regularly had to cope with local or national famines. The various governments, until the second decade of the twentieth century, had neither a policy nor institutional arrangements to deal with grain shortages, artificial or not, and the resulting famines. In severe cases of famine governments might have temporarily intervened in the market, but usually they left care for the hungry to private philanthropy. Invariably, this private effort was inadequate when compared to needs. Although there were earlier incidental efforts, it was only as of 1918 that a beginning was made for more permanent and structural pro-active measures to prevent rather than to combat famine. The creation of the Edareh-ye arzaq or Alimentation Service in Tehran and Tabriz to ensure food security saved thousands of lives in the years that followed. Despite this result, its work is almost totally ignored; there is not even an encyclopedia article about its activities. In this study, Willem Floor discusses the early efforts to combat famine as well as the beginning of a more targeted and structural approach developed by Lambert Molitor in Tabriz during 1917-18 as well as its application in Tehran as of 1918. Whereas in Tabriz, after 1918, the approach was reactive, in Tehran a pro-active program was developed, which as of 1922 became part of the tasks of the Millspaugh mission. During 1926-27 there was even a quasi-national food security program. After Millspaugh's departure in 1927 the food security of Tehran became an entirely Iranian affair, which as of 1935 was transferred from the Alimentation Service to a State company that had a national food security responsibility." --

The book summarizes the reports of 14 speakers of the conference "Latvian industry before and after regaining independence" on December 13, 2013: scientists, historians, factory managers and civil servants about what industry was actually like during the USSR and what and why happened after the restoration of independence with these "powerful" factories, why a large part of them stopped working, including the famous VEF. The book contains an overview of Latvia's economy before the occupation of 1940 during the 1st independence period, an analytical overview of the USSR-era industry and its specifics, as well as the prospects for today's industrial development.
Der Tod ist ständig unter uns: die Deportationen nach Riga und der Holocaust im deutsch besetzten Lettland : Begleitbuch zur Ausstellung
Verlagsinfo: Riga war das Zentrum jüdischen Lebens in Lettland. Mit dem Einmarsch deutscher Truppen im Juli 1941 wurde die Stadt zu einem Zielort von Deportationen und zum Tatort nationalsozialistischer Vernichtungspolitik. Angehörige von SS, Polizei und Wehrmacht sowie lokale Hilfstruppen ermordeten fast alle lettischen sowie die aus Deutschland, Wien, Prag und Brünn nach Riga deportierten Jüdinnen und Juden. Unter den Deportierten waren auch 753 Hamburgerinnen und Hamburger. Der Hannoversche Bahnhof war Ausgangspunkt, aber auch Zwischenstation für Deportationen aus Norddeutschland nach Riga. Die wenigen Überlebenden kehrten nur selten in ihre Heimatländer zurück. Zumeist kämpften sie vergeblich um Gerechtigkeit. Ebenso blieb eine umfassende juristische Aufarbeitung der Verbrechen aus. Zwei der umfangreichsten Verfahren zu den deutschen Verbrechen in Riga fanden in den 1950er und 1970er Jahren vor dem Hamburger Landgericht statt. Heute ist der Hannoversche Bahnhof in Hamburg ein wichtiger Erinnerungsort an die Deportationen nach Riga. Die Ausstellung möchte dazu beitragen, die Deportationen nach Riga und das nationalsozialistische Morden im öffentlichen Gedenken Deutschlands wie auch Lettlands zu verankern.
