Anthony Dragan. Vinnytsia: A Forgotten HolocaustВасиль Петренко
52-page Anthony Dragan Vinnytsia: A Forgotten Holocaust in pdf. Five excerpts can be read below:
1. After the mass arrests, relatives tried to secure some measure of "justice", but seeking "justice" in this system was in and of itself a crime. And so they did what they could — they kept vigil at the prison walls, went to the NKVD offices, and in their naiveté, even went so far as to write to Stalin himself, asking him to help them in finding and freeing their relatives. But in ninety nine out of a hundred cases, the response was that those arrested had been sentenced as "enemies of the people" and sent to far-off camps, "without the right to correspond". Some 10 thousand of these "enemies of the people," sent off to far-away camps, "without the right to correspond," were found, with their hands bound behind their backs and their skulls crushed, in the mass graves of Vinnytsia.
2. Out of the 169 female corpses that were exhumed, 49 were completely nude. According to the report of the medical commission, these were all women of young age, as were the majority of female corpses that were clad only in long shirts. This suggested, and was later borne out in testimony, that these women had been raped prior to being executed. Only the corpses of a few older women were found fully clothed. There were only a few cases where the female corpses were found with their hands bound.
3. All of the exhumed corpses showed signs of having been shot, most of them in the back of the head. The cause of death could not be determined only in those few cases where the corpse was damaged in the process of being exhumed. In most of the cases, bullets were found still embedded in the skulls. Many bore signs indicating that more than one bullet had been used: 6,360 victims were shot twice; 78 victims were shot three times; and two victims were shot four times; the remainder were either shot once, or the number of shots could not be determined. Some of the skulls were either bashed in or showed signs of having received severe blows, most likely, with a pistol. Some of the corpses had been shot in the forehead or in the temple.
4. As for the place of execution, the reports of the commission concurred with the accounts given by witnesses that, except for a very few, the victims were not executed at the site of the burial. This was confirmed by the absence of cartridges at the sites. The fact that few cartridges were found, and that only a few corpses were found on top of piles of clothing beneath which lay hundreds of corpses, indicates that only a few victims were executed directly at the burial spot.
5. The Nazi crimes have been investigated and documented by the Nuremberg Trials. Some of the countless crimes perpetrated by the Communist regime under Stalin's dictatorship were condemned by his own "advisers" and henchmen after his death.
Christopher Isherwood's novel Goodbye to Berlin provides insights into Berlin society in the 1930s through its characters and situations. While some details are not fully explained, social criticism approaches help readers construct the social context inductively.

Theoretical frameworks like Lukács and Goldmann's analyze how novels reflect the alienation of individuals in modern capitalist society through value systems and the relationship between people and the world.

However, it concludes that realism defies a single fixed definition and is best understood as a "syndrome" or collection of overlapping features.

This document discusses women entrepreneurs in Romania. It notes that Alexandra Roată is a 26-year-old managing partner of Softlead, a software platform promoting software solutions, with 6 years of experience in the Romanian tech industry. While online searches portray optimistic views of successful women entrepreneurs, in reality they are extremely busy, dedicated, creative, well-organized, and strategic. In Romania, 34% of managers and 31% of company associates are women, compared to only 1 in 11 business owners in the US being women. Being the only woman speaker at an event can be good, to provide a unique perspective, or bad, due to added responsibility.

Role of women in hardy's society bethan, fartuun, tasmiyah and mirajfoster10
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, women in British society had very restricted roles and few rights. If married, they were expected to stay home, care for children, and rely on their husband financially. If single, women often worked jobs like domestic service or waitressing. Women could not vote, own property, or divorce abusive husbands easily. Throughout the 19th century, some laws were passed improving women's rights, but societal attitudes changed slowly. By the early 20th century, women had more independence, though traditional roles still largely defined their lives.
This document summarizes the changing role of women in India throughout history. It discusses how women had a prominent position and equal status to men in ancient times, but their status declined during the medieval period under Muslim rule. However, some women still excelled in various fields. In modern independent India, women have achieved high political offices like President and Prime Minister, and now participate in all aspects of society and the economy. However, issues around women's education and economic development remain.
The roles of women have significantly changed since the 1960s and 70s as the feminist movement gained momentum, demanding equality and better pay for women in jobs. This movement spread globally, with famous women leading countries like India, the UK, and Pakistan, yet some discrimination remains as some women still face glass ceilings and lower pay than men in some workplaces. The UN has investigated women's rights and treatment around the world in response to these continuing issues.
This document discusses the social status and image of Romanian women between 1945-1989. It aims to outline the image of women in the communist period as builders of socialism, and to see how these attributions still influence perceptions today. During communism, women were expected to be great mothers while also being good socialist workers, without discrimination. They dominated certain jobs but on average earned less than men. Traditions and values still sometimes treat women unequally today, though there is a new model of female politicians in Romania.

The art of form versus the art of emotion in thomas mann's death in venice (f...Jesullyna Manuel
This document provides a summary and analysis of Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice. It discusses how the novella explores the conflict between form (rationality and discipline) versus emotion through the story of Gustav von Aschenbach. Von Aschenbach is a repressed writer who becomes obsessed with a young Polish boy named Tadzio while vacationing in Venice. His obsession leads to his dissolution and death, representing the dangers of giving in to one's passions. The document also analyzes how Venice represents sensuality and decline, and how the story uses mythology and Freudian concepts to examine this theme of rationality versus emotion.

Hardy was influenced by the naturalism of his time and read works by Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer.

William Shakespeare was the most famous playwright of this era, along with other notable writers like Christopher Marlowe, Edmund Spenser, and Ben Jonson. Shakespeare's works like his sonnets and plays had a profound influence on English literature during this time.
Thomas Hardy was an English poet and novelist born in 1840 in Dorset, England. He is known for his realistic portrayals of the rural landscapes and communities of the South West of England. After working as an architect, Hardy began writing novels in the 1870s including Far From the Madding Crowd and Tess of the D'Urbervilles. He later turned to writing poetry which explored themes of disappointment in love, the perversity of fate, and irony. Hardy had a long and successful writing career until his death in 1928 at the age of 87, after which his ashes were buried in Poets' Corner at Westminster Abbey.

Faustian theme
From:A Dictionary of Literary and Thematic Terms, Second Edition.
The generic term for stories of people whose lust for absolute knowledge drives them to tragic extremes, symbolized by a pact with the Devil. The legend is based upon the career of Johann Faust, a 16th-century German scholar who experimented with alchemy and magic. An account of his life that incorporated medieval legends of selling souls to the devil, published in 1587, provided the basis for Christopher Marlowe's Tragical History of Dr. Faustus (1588–92). Marlowe's play is notable for Faust's celebration of the beauty of Helen of Troy and for its powerful conclusion in which Faustus is dragged screaming into Hell.
Dr. Faustus was imitated by German writers of the 17th and 18th centuries, who emphasized the magical tricks of Faustus and downplayed the tragic aspects of the story. The adaptation of Gotthold Lessing in 1759 restored the serious tone, emphasizing Faust's lust for knowledge as his motive.
In Goethe's great drama (Faust, Part One, 1808, Part Two, 1832), Faust's story illustrates the basic unity underlying the variety and complexity of life. Its happy ending, in which Faust is saved because of his constant searching and striving, reflects the Romantic belief in the ultimate goodness of the human soul.
Following Goethe, scores of 19th-century writers attempted with little success to capture the essence of the figure. T ...

6. Pauline Elisabeth Ottilie Luise zu Wied (29 December 1843 – 3 March/2 November 1916)
was the Queen consort of Romania as the wife of King Carol I of Romania
As "Carmen Sylva", she wrote with facility in German, Romanian, French and English. A few of her voluminous writings,
which include poems, plays, novels, short stories, essays, collections of aphorisms, etc., may be singled out for special
mention
Her earliest publications were "Sappho" and "Hammerstein", two poems which appeared at Leipzig in 1880.
In 1888 she received the Prix Botta, a prize awarded triennially by the Académie française, for her volume of prose
aphorisms Les Pensees d'une reine (Paris, 1882), a German version of which is entitled Vom Amboss (Bonn, 1890).
Cuvinte Sufletesti, religious meditations in Romanian (Bucharest, 1888), was also translated into German (Bonn, 1890),
under the name of Seelen-Gespräche.
Several of the works of "Carmen Sylva" were written in collaboration with Mite Kremnitz, one of her maids of honor,
who was born at Greifs-wald in 1857, and married Dr Kremnitz of Bucharest; these were published between 1881 and
1888, in some cases under the pseudonyms Dito et Idem. These include:
Aus zwei Welten (Leipzig, 1884), a novel
Anna Boleyn (Bonn, 1886), a tragedy
In der Irre (Bonn, 1888), a collection of short stories
Edleen Vaughan, or Paths of Peril (London, 1894), a novel
Sweet Hours (London, 1904), poems, written in English.
Among the translations made by "Carmen Sylva" are:
German versions of Pierre Loti's romance Pecheur d'Islande
German versions of Paul de St Victor's dramatic criticisms Les Deux Masques (Paris, 1881–1884)
and especially The Bard of the Dimbovitza, an English translation of Elena Văcărescu's collection of Romanian folk-songs,
etc., entitled Lieder aus dem Dimbovitzathal (Bonn, 1889), translated by "Carmen Sylva" and Alma Strettell.
The Bard of the Dimbovitza was first published in 1891, and was soon reissued and expanded. Translations from the
original works of "Carmen Sylva" have appeared in all the principal languages of Europe and in Armenian.
7. Marie of Romania (Marie Alexandra Victoria, previously Princess Marie of Edinburgh; 29 October 1875 – 18 July 1938) was
Queen consort of Romania from 1914 to 1927, as the wife of Ferdinand of Romania.
Marie had become a Romanian patriot, and her influence in the country was large. A.L. Easterman writes that King
Ferdinand was "a quiet, easy-going man, of no significant character… It was not he, but Marie who ruled in Romania." He
credits Marie's sympathies for the Allies as being "the major influence in bringing her country to their side" in the war.
During the war, she volunteered as a Red Cross nurse to help the sick and wounded and wrote a book titled My Country to
raise funds for the Red Cross, but these were by no means her most notable contributions to the war effort. With the
country half-overrun by the German Army, she and a group of military advisers devised the plan by which the Romanian
Army, rather than retreating into Russia, would choose a triangle of the country in which to stand and fight; and through a
letter to Loïe Fuller she set in motion the series of events that brought a timely American loan to Romania, providing the
necessary funds to carry out the plan. (Fortuitously, the young woman from the US embassy who delivered the letter to
Fuller was the former ward of Newton D. Baker, by this time serving as U.S. Secretary of War. Fuller and the young woman
travelled from Paris to Washington, DC and secured an audience with Baker who, along with U.S. Secretary of the Treasury
Carter Glass, arranged the loan).
After the war ended, the Great Powers decided to settle affairs at the Paris Peace Conference. The Romanian objective
was to secure the Romanian-inhabited territories from the now-defunct Austria-Hungary and Russian Empire, thereby
uniting all Romanian-speakers in a single state. Romanian diplomats at the peace conference sought to achieve recognition
by the Allies of the Unions of Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Transylvania with Romania, proclaimed during 1918. With the
Romanian delegation losing ground in the negotiations, Prime Minister Ionel Bratianu called upon the Queen to travel to
France. Marie famously declared that "Romania needs a face, and I will be that face," astutely calculating that the
international press was growing tired of the endless negotiations and would be unable to resist the glamour of a Royal visit.
The arrival of the so-called Soldier Queen was an international media sensation and she argued passionately that the
Western powers should honour their debt to Romania (which had suffered a casualty rate proportionately far greater than
Britain, France or the USA). Behind the scenes, she alternately charmed and bullied the Allied leaders into backing the
Romanian cause. As a direct result of her charismatic intervention, Romania won back the initiative and successfully
achieved all its pre-conference aims, eventually expanding its territory by 60%, gaining Bessarabia, Bukovina, Transylvania,
as well as parts of the Banat, Crişana and Maramureş.
8. Elena Văcărescu (September 21, 1864 in Bucharest – February 17, 1947 in Paris) was a Romanian-French aristocrat writer, twice a laureate of the
Académie française.
Through her father, Ioan Văcărescu, she descended from a long line of boyars of Wallachia (the Văcărescu
family), including Ienăchiţă Văcărescu, the poet who wrote the first Romanian grammar. She was also a
granddaughter of Romanian poet Iancu Văcărescu. Through her mother, Eufrosina Fălcoianu, she descended
from the Fălcoianu family, a prominent clan in the times of Prince Michael the Brave.
She spent most of her youth on the Văcărescu estate near Târgovişte. Elena first got acquainted with the English
literature through her English governess, Miss Allan. She also studied French literature in Paris, where she met
Victor Hugo, whom she later mentioned in her memoirs. She attended courses of philosophy, aesthetics and
history, and also studied poetry under the guidance of Sully Prudhomme.
The meeting that changed her life was that with Elisabeth of Wied, Queen of Romania, wife of King Carol I. The
Queen invited her to the palace in 1888. Interested in Elena Văcărescu's literary achievements, she became
much more interested in the person of the poet. Having not yet recovered from the death of her only daughter in
1874, Elizabeth transferred all her maternal love on Elena.

9. Marthe, Princess Bibesco (Marthe Lucie; née Lahovary; 28 January 1886 – 28 November 1973) was a Romanian-French writer
of the Belle Époque. Bibesco's papers are at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
When Romania at last entered the war on the Allied side in 1916, Marthe worked at a hospital in Bucharest until the German army burned
down her home in Posada, in the Transylvanian Alps. She fled the country to join her mother and daughter in Geneva after a quarantine
exile, imposed by the German occupants, in Austria-Hungary (as a guest of the princely family of Thurn and Taxis at Latchen). There she
continued to write. For most of her life, she wrote every morning until lunchtime--her journals alone fill 65 volumes.
In Switzerland, she began work on Isvor, pays des saules ("Isvor, Land of Willows"). It was Marthe's Romanian masterpiece, where she
brilliantly conveyed the everyday life and customs of her people, the extraordinary mixture of superstition, deep philosophy, resignation
and hope, and the unending struggle between age-old pagan beliefs and Christian faith.
Tragedy didn't spare Marthe, as her younger sister and her mother would commit suicide in 1918 and 1920 respectively.
For the Bibescos life after the war was more cosmopolitan than Romanian. Among her literary friends and acquaintances, Marthe counted
Jean Cocteau, Paul Valéry, Rainer Maria Rilke, François Mauriac, Max Jacob, and Francis Jammes. In 1919, Marthe was invited to
Prince Antoine Bibesco's wedding in London to Elizabeth Asquith, daughter of the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Herbert
Henry Asquith, later Earl of Oxford. Princess Elizabeth Bibesco, who died in Romania during World War II, is buried in the Bibesco family
vault on the grounds of Mogoşoaia. Marthe for many years occupied an apartment in Prince Antoine's Quai Bourbon house at which she
held literary and political salons
During this postwar period she rebuilt Posada, her mountain home, and began restoring the other family estate, Mogoşoaia, the palace
built in Byzantine style. Again in London, she met Winston Churchill in 1920, starting a warm friendship that would last until his death in
1965. When her daughter Valentine married the Romanian prince Dimitrie Ghika-Comăneşti (October 1925) in a dazzling traditional
ceremony, three Queens attended, (Queen-mother Sophia of Greece, Princess Consort Aspasia Manos of Greece and Queen Marie of
Yugoslavia).
Exile
Eventually, Valentine and her husband were released from Romanian detention in 1958, and allowed passage to Britain, where Marthe,
now totally dependent on her writing for money, bought them a home, the Tullimaar residence at Perranarworthal in Cornwall. She
remained in Paris, first living at the Ritz Hotel (1946-1948), then in her apartment at 45, Quai de Bourbon. In 1955, she was appointed a
member of the Belgian Academy of French Language and Literature, on the seat previously held by Anna de Noailles (née Bibesco,
princess Bassaraba de Brancovan). Marthe cherished the 1962 award of the Légion d'honneur. It was in 1960 that her novel (27 years-in-the-
making), La Nymphe Europe, which was really her autobiography, was published by Plon.
Now a grande dame, she enjoyed her last great friendship with a powerful leader, Charles de Gaulle, who invited her in 1963 to an Élysée
Palace reception in the honour of the Swedish Sovereigns. De Gaulle also took a copy of Isvor, Pays des Saules with him when he visited
Romania in 1968, and told her in the same year: ... you do personify Europe to me. Marthe was 82 years old. She died on 28 November
1973 in Paris.
In January 2001, a national poll of the most influential women in Romania's history placed princess Marthe Bibesco in the first position as
the woman of the Millennium and of the 20th century.

translating abilities, and has rendered into Romanian the works of William
Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht, Christian Morgenstern, Yiannis Ritsos, and Paul
Celan. She has published more than fifty books of her own poetry.

stay in America, a friend of hers, Gheorghe Ursu, was arrested by the Securitate
for possessing a diary. The diary contained several of Cassian's poems which
satirized the Communist regime and the authorities thought to be inflammatory.
Hence, she decided to remain in the US.
She was granted asylum in the United States, and she currently resides in New
York City.
12. Herta Müller (born 17 August 1953) is a Romanian-born German novelist, poet, essayist and recipient of the 2009 Nobel Prize in
Literature.
Müller is noted for her works depicting the effects of violence, cruelty and terror, usually in the setting of
Communist Romania under the repressive Nicolae Ceauşescu regime which she has experienced herself. Many
of her works are told from the viewpoint of the German minority in Romania and are also a depiction of the
modern history of the Germans in the Banat, and Transylvania. Her much acclaimed 2009 novel The Hunger
Angel (Atemschaukel) portrays the deportation of Romania's German minority to Stalinist Soviet Gulags during
the Soviet occupation of Romania for use as German forced labor.
Müller has received more than twenty awards to date, including the Kleist Prize (1994), the Aristeion Prize (1995),
the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award (1998) and the Franz Werfel Human Rights Award (2009). On 8
October 2009, the Swedish Academy announced that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature,
describing her as a woman "who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the
landscape of the dispossessed".
In 2009, Müller enjoyed the greatest international success of her career. Her novel Atemschaukel (published in
English as The Hunger Angel) was nominated for the Deutscher Buchpreis (German Book Prize) and won the
Franz Werfel Human Rights Award. In this book, Müller describes the journey of a young man to a gulag in the
Soviet Union, the fate of many Germans in Transylvania after World War II. It was inspired by the experience of
poet Oskar Pastior, whose memories she had made notes of, and also by what happened to her own mother.
In October 2009, the Swedish Academy announced its decision to award that year's Nobel Prize in Literature to
Müller "who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the
dispossessed." The academy compared Müller's style and her use of German as a minority language with Franz
Kafka and pointed out the influence of Kafka on Müller. The award coincided with the 20th anniversary of the fall
of communism. Michael Krüger, head of Müller's publishing house, said: "By giving the award to Herta Müller, who
grew up in a German-speaking minority in Romania, the committee has recognized an author who refuses to let
the inhumane side of life under communism be forgotten"
13. Gabriela Adameșteanu ( born April 2, 1942) is a Romanian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist, and translator
The author of the celebrated novels The Equal Way of Every Day (1975) and Wasted Morning (1983), she is also
known as an activist in support of civil society and member of the Group for Social Dialogue (GDS), as well as
editor of Revista 22.
Drumul egal al fiecărei zile (The Equal Way of Every Day), a story alluding to intellectual survival in a provincial
environment during the aggressive Stalinist 1950s, won her critical acclaim and the Romanian Academy prize. In
1979, she published a series of short stories under the title Dăruiește-ți o zi de vacanță ("Offer Yourself a Day
Off"), which expanded on the themes of The Equal Way. During the same year, in August, she traveled to the
People's Republic of Poland, where she witnessed the mood encouraged by the visit of Pope John Paul II
(according to her recollections, it was "a magic sentiment of human dignity").
With Dimineață pierdută (Wasted Morning), a complex novel centered on an apparently banal conversation
between two women, discreetly but fastidiously reconstructing the tragic end of the interwar generation,
Adameșteanu was awarded the Writers' Union prize and was confirmed as one of the most important Romanian
authors of the 1980s. Wasted Morning was set to stage by Cătălina Buzoianu in 1987, becoming the center of
interest at a time when the Ceaușescu regime had entered its more repressive phase.
In 1989, a short while before the Romanian Revolution, she and other writers sent a letter of protest to the
Communist leadership over the worsening conditions of life; she resigned from her position at Cartea
Românească. In 1990, she joined GDS, and became editor of its magazine, 22, the following year.
Her other literary works include Vară-primăvară (a collection of short stories published in 1989), Obsesia politicii
(interviews with post-1989 political figures, 1995), Cele două Românii (essays, 2000), and the 2003 novel
Întâlnirea. She has translated into Romanian Guy de Maupassant's Pierre et Jean and Hector Bianciotti's Sans la
miséricorde du Christ.

born at Bucharest in 29 of march 1941.

poetic opera of Constanta Buzea counts over 20 volumes,
along she added a few analogies. She died on 31 of august
2012.

and political figure. She took her name after Blandiana, near Vinţu de Jos, Alba County, her mother's home village.
In the late 1980s, assuming risks of reprisals of the communist regime, Blandiana started writing
protest poems, in answer to the increasingly harsh demands of the system in general.
In 1984 Blandiana's poem 'Totul' ('Everything') was briefly published in the literary magazine
Amfiteatru. 'Totul' was a list of elements of everyday life in Bucharest at the time, composed as a
comment on the contrast between the official view of life in Romania and the alternative
perception of its monotonous shabbiness. The critical nature of the poem led to the edition of
Amfiteatru being withdrawn within hours of publication with the editors being dismissed.
Nevertheless, the poem appeared in translation in Western media and also had limited
underground circulation in Romania.
After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, she entered political life, campaigning for the removal of
the communist legacy from administrative office, as well as for an open society. She left literary
work in the background, although she did publish Arhitectura valurilor ("Waves' Architecture",
1990), 100 de poeme ("100 Poems", 1991), and Sertarul cu aplauze ("The Drawer of Applause",
prose, 1992). In 1992 she advocates for the released from prison of old time Party member
Gheorghe 'Gogu' Radulescu, a former member of the Executive Political Committee of the
Central Committee of the Communist Party and protector of herself during the communist period.
Her work was translated into 16 languages.

44. Andreea Răducan (born 30 September 1983) was the first
Romanian gymnast to win the Olympic all-around title since Nadia
Comăneci in 1976; it was also the first time since 1960 that
gymnasts from a single country swept the WAG all-around podium
at the Olympics. It was also the last time it was possible for three
gymnasts from the same country to sweep the all around, as the
'two per country rule' was introduced in the next Olympic cycle.

Romanian artistic gymnast. She won three gold medals at
the 2004 Summer Olympics, on balance beam, floor, and as

World Championship and European Championship medals.
