Martin Chuzzlewit
Charles Dickens
PD-US
The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit (commonly known as Martin Chuzzlewit) is a novel by Charles Dickens, considered the last of his picaresque novels. It was originally serialised in 1843 and 1844. Dickens thought it to be his best work, but it was one of his least popular novels. Like nearly all of Dickens' novels, Martin Chuzzlewit was released to the public in monthly instalments. Early sales of the monthly parts were disappointing, compared to previous works, so Dickens changed the plot to send the title character to America. This allowed the author to portray the United States (which he had visited in 1842) satirically as a near wilderness with pockets of civilisation filled with deceptive and self-promoting hucksters. The main theme of the novel, according to a preface by Dickens, is selfishness, portrayed in a satirical fashion using all the members of the Chuzzlewit family. The novel is also notable for two of Dickens' great villains, Seth Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit. It is dedicated to Angela Georgina Burdett-Coutts, a friend of Dickens. From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA).

Suburban Urbanities: Suburbs and the Life of the High Street
CC BY
Suburban space has traditionally been understood as a formless remnant of physical city expansion, without a dynamic or logic of its own. Suburban Urbanities challenges this view by defining the suburb as a temporally evolving feature of urban growth. Anchored in the architectural research discipline of space syntax, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of urban change, touching on the history of the suburb as well as its current development challenges, with a particular focus on suburban centres. Studies of the high street as a centre for social, economic and cultural exchange provide evidence for its critical role in sustaining local centres over time. Contributors from the architecture, urban design, geography, history and anthropology disciplines examine cases spanning Europe and around the Mediterranean. By linking large-scale city mapping, urban design scale expositions of high street activity and local-scale ethnographies, the book underscores the need to consider suburban space on its own terms as a specific and complex field of social practice.

Geraubte Identität
CC BY-NC-ND
Stolen identity - the forced "Germanization" of "racially valuable" children during National Socialism, illustrated by the country of Poland. Heinrich Himmler, acting in his capacity as “Reich Commissioner for the Strengthening of German Foldom”, ordered the selection of "racially valuable" polish children for "Germanization" – the Teutonic blood had to be collected even if it meant kidnapping children. For this reason polish children from orphanages, schools, forster parents, parents who refused to sign the “Volksliste” and parents who had been murdered or sent to forced labor or concentration camps had to have a "racial" examination – children who possessed the Nordic features were regarded as suitable for the “Germanization” and were distributed in special children homes. At these special children homes the children were forced to give up their own identity step by step: the children got new German names and had to learn German, moreover contact with relatives at home was painfully forbidden. In Austria, known as "Ostmark" during National Socialism, two special places were found, where polish children were confronted with "Germanization practices": the children home "Alpenland" in Oberweis next to Gmunden and the resettlement camp "Parsch" in Salzburg.After a "successful Germanization" the children were placed in German and Austrian forster families. There the children were treated in different ways: some children became a part of the family, they felt safety and comfortable and were treated like their own children. Other polish girls and boys were treated badly: the forster families took advantage of their defencelessness, they abused and beat the polish children, they reagard them just as cheap labourer.After the war only a small number of such kidnapped children was tracked by the several tracking services like UNRRA, IRO or the Polish Red Cross. But further problems arose when German and Austrian forster families or the children themselves opposed the repatriation to Poland. Being back in Poland, the polish children were regarded as children of the enemy – regarded as “German” of the polish society.Geraubte Identität. Die gewaltsame "Eindeuschung" von "rassisch vollen" Kindern in der NS-Zeit. Am Beispiel Polen.In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Schicksal von polnischen Kindern in der NS-Zeit untersucht. Die Jungen und Mädchen wurden aufgrund ihres "rassischen" Erscheinungsbildes und eines psychologischen Gutachtens von namhaften Dienststellen des Deutschen Reiches als „eindeutschungsfähig“ bewertet und in die „Ostmark“ deportiert. Die Verantwortlichen des Verfahrens sahen in den Selektierten den erwünschten "wertvollen Bevölkerungszuwachs", die betroffenen Kinder mussten lediglich nationalsozialistisch indoktriniert werden, um die Ideale des NS-Regimes nicht nur äußerlich zu verkörpern. Polnische Jungen und Mädchen wurden aus Fürsorgeheimen, von ihren Vormündern und von ihren Pflegestellen fortgenommen, aus ihrem leiblichen Elternhaus sowie aus Familien, die die Eintragung in die DVL verweigerten oder ins Konzentrationslager gebracht worden waren, regelrecht verschleppt. Im Laufe ihres Leidensweges mussten sich die Kinder einem strengen Auswahlverfahren unterziehen und wurden mit spezifischen „Eindeutschungsmaßnahmen“, wie der „Verdeutschung“ des Namens oder dem Erlernen der deutschen Sprache konfrontiert. Die Betroffenen wurden somit schrittweise ihrer ursprünglichen Identität entledigt. In der „Ostmark“ wurde in der Nähe von Gmunden eigens ein Heim für „einzudeutschende“ Jungen und Mädchen errichtet – das Kinderheim „Alpenland“ in Oberweis, das eine zentrale Schaltstelle für die Vermittlung „einzudeutschender“ Kinder an Pflegestellen in der „Ostmark“ darstellte. Daneben ist noch das Umsiedlerlager „Parsch“ in Salzburg zu nennen, in dem auch „eindeutschungsfähige“ Jungen und Mädchen kurzfristig untergebracht und an Pflegefamilien im Raum Salzburg übergeben wurden. Die Vermittlung an eine deutsche bzw. österreichische Pflegefamilie stellte den „krönenden Abschluss“ der „Eindeutschungsverfahrens“ dar. Die Integration in diese „Ersatzfamilien“ verlief allerdings unterschiedlich: So wurden einige Kinder von ihren Pflegestellen als Arbeitskräfte ausgenutzt, andere Familien hingegen gaben den ausländischen Pflegekindern ein herzliches Zuhause. Infolgedessen lehnten so manche Jungen und Mädchen nach Kriegsende die Repatriierung in ihre ursprüngliche Heimat ab. Das Auffinden der polnischen Kinder war für die diversen Suchdienste nach Kriegsende mit enormen Schwierigkeiten und bürokratischen Hindernissen verbunden, nur ein Bruchteil der Kinder konnte gefunden werden. Für viele stellte die Rückführung in die Heimat allerdings eine seelische Belastung dar: Die Kinder wurden mit Vorurteilen der Nachkriegsbevölkerung konfrontiert und wurden zu Außenseitern degradiert.
