by Prof. H. Marcuse, UCSB, Nov. 6, 2003

Why do some people choose to commit crimes, while others choose to resist?

• Preliminary: LA $, Hist 133Q; panel 3pm today; L15 & 16; eval. results
• Examples of German resistance
• Power/Action Grid
• Social dynamics model

Administrative

• Pass around list: driver reimbursement, and Hist 133q "Readings" (W2-5)
• Journals due next Thu (11/13)
• Survivor visit instead of L15; driver from Pomona 11/9-11?
• L15=art, L17=Anne Frank will be combined as L17-> web update
• Panel about "Portraits of Survival" exhibition, TODAY, 3pm, 6th floor HSSB
• Midterm evaluation results

Midterm evaluations (link to form)

• polar opinions on Riefenstahl
• Wannsee Conf & battalion 101: overkill
  • My response: not facts or information, but PERSPECTIVES
  • crucial to see different interpretations, different meanings, different implications
• Final exam: you can choose oral or take-home (doesn't matter to me)
• Anxiety regarding group projects
  • difficulty getting together (next time: Tue eve)
  • more guidance:
    • make it modular: blocks of text + annotated links
    • submit word processor version (who uses what?)
    • File - Save As: "rtf" format

Examples of German Resistance (refer to textbook for more details)

• Students: White Rose in Munich
• July 1942 - Feb. 1943 (Stalingrad)
• Jehovah's Witnesses (purple triangle)
• vs. 7th-Day Adventists (March 2002 student research paper)
• Rosenstrasse, Berlin: Feb. 1943: Intermarried couples reversed deportation
• Individuals: Oskar Schindler; people who hid Jews
• July 20, 1944 plot (military-led conspiracy)

EIEIO Model

Resistance and EIEIO

• Economic motivations?
  careers, money for hiding people
• International situation?
  timing of actions: when gov't weak
• Elite participation?
  were leaders involved?
• Information/ideology
  what did they know (or not know?)
• Opposition of individuals
  element of choice, access to means
