Of Mind and Murder
How could the Holocaust have happened? How can people do such things to other people? Questions such as these have animated discussion of the Holocaust from our earliest awareness of what had happened. These questions have engaged the lay public as well as academics from many different fields. Psychologists have taken an active role in trying to understand and explain the motivation, thinking, and behavior of all those involved in and affected by the Holocaust. The present volume is, in part, an attempt to provide a kind of historical roadmap to the diverse psychological explanations and interpretations that have been developed by psychologists over the last several decades. While many psych...
Misremembering the Holocaust
The year 2020 marks the seventy-fifth anniversary of the end of World War II. The ranks of those who experienced and witnessed the war grow thinner with every passing day. In anticipation of the inevitable passing of those with first-hand memories of World War II, extensive and aggressive efforts have been made to collect and preserve the personal testimony of those who were there. That testimony has mainly been preserved just as it was remembered and given. Human memory is not always trustworthy: some of that testimony accurately reflects what happened, and some of it does not. This book focuses on a single event on a single day in WWII, the day Buchenwald was liberated, how that day has been remembered, and how it has been misremembered. While accurate testimony and information about the liberation of Buchenwald is easily found, exaggerations, distortions, false memories, and myths also abound. Sometimes these inaccuracies may be found in local news stories about the recollections of an aging survivor or veteran. But such inaccuracies are also readily found in books, articles, and on the websites and in the archives of prestigious Holocaust museums and organizations.

Stories From My Career
Stories From My Career is a compilation of 50 illustrated stories about the author's career as a college professor and media practitioner. Her career began in the 1960s when very few women were employed in either area and spanned six decades until her retirement. The initial stories take place in Pittsburgh, where she grew up, and Chicago, where she went to college, but most of the stories are centered in the Los Angeles area. A fair number also take place in other countries where she taught and consulted. The stories encompass topics such as combining career and family, the evolution of electronic technology, the civil rights movement, maternity leave practices, television production techniques, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, beginnings of cable TV, teaching challenges, media functions in developing nations, and career advice.
Rumors of Injustice
Ilse Koch and Rudolph Spanner were both accused of monstrous crimes during WWII. Ilse Koch was accused of having Buchenwald prisoners murdered so that she could have decorative and personal items, such as lampshades and purses, made from their tattooed skin. Rudolph Spanner was accused of using the bodies of Jewish prisoners of the Stutthof concentration camp to make soap. Both cases were introduced into evidence at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, though neither Koch nor Spanner were charged in that proceeding. Ilse Koch was eventually tried by both American and German authorities: she was sentenced to life imprisonment twice, though her initial life sentence from an Americ...
