The Compatibility of a Federal Magistrate\u27s Final Judgment With Nonmutual Issue Preclusion

This Note examines the propriety of issue preclusion as applied to a magistrate\u27s factual determination by providing an overview of section 636(c) of the Magistrate Act of 1979 and the decisions holding its provisions constitutional. It briefly looks at the expanded use of issue preclusion, which is largely due to the elimination of the mutuality agreement. After reviewing the policies that are promoted through the use of issue preclusion in such a manner, the Note concludes that nonmutual issue preclusion should apply to a magistrate\u27s determination in a civil trial only if the parties are aware of the consequences that may result when they consent

When Heredity Met the Bacterium: Quarantines in New York and Danzig, 1898-1921

[Excerpt] Recent careful examinations of American quarantines placed on incoming migrants have found that health officials were potent carries of bigotries rooted in the larger society; but usually historians have not paid sufficient attention to the complex challenges facing quarantine units in action. By examining the work of quarantine health officials dealing with migrating Jews from East Central Europe this analytical narrative seeks to show in detail important structural circumstances within which acts of bigotry manifested themselves between the 1890s and 1920s. The narrative also has a larger agenda. Connections between public health quarantines and bio-cultural determinisms have long participated in the construction of public enemies. For instance in the 1980s, during the early years of the AIDS panic in the United States, public health officials could take for granted a citizenry that had long trusted in abstract empirical scientific knowledge and, for half a century, in the disease curing power of pharmacology\u27s sulfa drugs and other antibiotics. Even so, in the first moments of panic all sorts of calls for screens and quarantine impacted on public policy discussions in ways reminiscent of the years between the 1890s and 1920s. During those years biological determinisms from the past had remained in the saddle. Even as modern public health programmes were becoming dramatically successful in fighting disease, they remained affected by hierarchies of bio-cultural notions, especially in apprehensions about immigrants as agents of dangerous contagious diseases. That is one reason why this article focuses on Jews. The other reason derives from the evidence about Jews and disease in the places and times covered by this study. To be sure, there were other quarantines, involving, for example, resident Chinese and Italians; and in the months after the First World War potential incomers from Italy were at least as much an object of concern among American advocates of immigration restriction as were the Jews in Poland. But, in part, because of a typhus epidemic in that war-torn country, the association between disease and bio-cultural assumptions about Jews retained its traditional particularity in Western Europe and in the United States

iPEHD – The ifo Prussian economic history database

This paper provides a documentation of the ifo Prussian Economic History Database (iPEHD), a county-level database covering a rich collection of variables for 19th -century Prussia. The Royal Prussian Statistical Office collected these data in several censuses over the years 1816-1901, with much county-level information surviving in archives. These data provide a unique source for microregional empirical research in economic history, enabling analyses of the importance of such factors as education, religion, fertility, and many others for Prussian economic development in the 19th century. The service of iPEHD is to provide the data in a digitized and structured way

Free City of Danzig Reise-Pass for Betty Sass, Accompanies First Kindertransport

Light brown booklet with lions and shield on cover. Includes photograph on page 2 of 32 pages, no marks on pages 13-31, back cover torn. Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash: Betty Sass accompanied the first Kindertransport from Danzig May 5, 1939 to Great Britain via the Netherlands. The Free City of Danzig was one of the cities from which almost 10,000 Jewish children were rescued by the Kindertransport program, the British humanitarian mission that ran between November 1938 and September 1939, ending just prior to the outbreak of World War II. Almost 10,000 unaccompanied Jewish children under the age of 17 were rescued from Nazi occupied Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Danzig and placed with foster families, or on farms, schools, and hostels throughout Britain. Most would never see their parents again. Betty Sass (nee Neile) was a 42-year-old widow from the resort town of Sopot near Danzig. Renowned diplomat Thomas Brimelow- at this time in his stellar career the Acting British Vice–Consul in Danzig- signed her visa for the United Kingdom February 5, 1939, after recording the purpose of Betty’s journey on the visa itself: “accompanying a contingent of 75 children from Danzig to London.” Her passport-unique to Danzig-shows the stamped permit to land in Harwich on May 5, 1939. After arriving in Harwich, Betty escorted the children in her charge to London’s Liverpool Street Station where they would meet their sponsors and prepare for the next phase of their journey. Betty then returned to Danzig by way of Vienna and Holland. It seems puzzling that she would obtain a visa in Vienna to go to Paraguay when she decided instead to return to Danzig. However, during this period after Kristallnacht many Jews were attempting to emigrate to South America and for a time Paraguay was being accommodative. Aware of what was happening to the Jews in the Nazi orbit, and fearing for her own life, she was perhaps thinking for a time of South America as a viable alternative to returning to Danzig to live under Nazi rule, since Danzig had already been annexed into the Greater Reich after the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and Jews would be expunged. Or perhaps it was a feint to leave Vienna, where for the immediate future emigration would still be encouraged for Jews to countries that would have them. In any case, Betty clearly felt the need to transport herself to safety and took this window of opportunity to escape. She arranged to leave for Palestine with other Jews from Danzig. However, as a refugee without citizenship, Betty was considered an “illegal immigrant” by the British who controlled Mandatory Palestine, and like so many stateless immigrants fleeing Nazi controlled Europe for Palestine, Betty Sass was removed by British naval authorities who boarded her ship. She was interned around November 1940 on the island of Mauritius, a British colony in the Indian Ocean. Internment of Jewish refugees was part of the British effort to deter immigration and manage the alleged concern about the infiltration of enemy aliens. Betty Sass would remain on the isle of Mauritius from 1940-1945. At the end of World War II, she was finally able to enter the harbor town of Haifa with a Palestine Department of Immigration permit and remain permanently as an immigrant.https://digital.kenyon.edu/bulmash/2901/thumbnail.jp

The prominence of Danzig Academic Gymnasium as a cornerstone of scientific developments in Gdańsk

The Danzig Academic Gymnasium (1558–1817) was one of the first Protestant schools at the college level in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It became one of the most famous educational institutions in Europe of the 16–18th centuries. For almost 260 years, it attracted one of the best professors and students of the era. We concentrate on the achievements in science, the role of the City Council Library in the academic life in and outside of the Gymnasium, and highlight the activities of the Danzig Naturalist Society. In this survey, we feature important representatives of the scientific disciplines present in the Gymnasium, both faculty and their students, as well as Gdańsk scientists in general. We outline the lasting impact of the Danzig Academic Gymnasium on the intellectual life in Gdańsk, the Pomerania region, and some intellectual circles in Europe
