Hidden in History No Longer - Otto Antoine 7:03

Send us a text Otto Antoine, who was discussed in the September 2022 episode, has gotten much attention recently through a September 2024 article in the online magazine Art News ( link here ). The article also helped promote efforts to get the collection of his works, owned by Todd Barrowcliff, hopefully into a museum or academic institution. Not only was Todd interviewed but also Dr. Jacquelyn McDonald, (University of Texas, Dallas), who has an expertise in early 20th century German art. The news of this article also prompted a presentation hosted by the Fritz Ascher Society , who's mission it is to present history on artists persecuted by the Nazis. Both Dr. McDonald and myself were interviewed ( link to this at YouTube ). Having this artist get national and potentially international attention again is a delight for me - since it highlights that this podcast series does profile poeple that have some importance historically.

Various factors, such as the changing local political climate and the rules around convictions changed - but not overnight. Also provided will be an explanation of the archaic court system used then in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, that in some ways hastened both convictions and hangings. And provided will be a better understanding of those who were still in jail as of 1693 and their eventual fate. The events between 1692 through to 1711 will be covered, through interviews with Josh Hutchinson and Sarah Jack, both descendants of those tried and convicted at the time. This is the third podcast on this topic of New England Witch Trials and links to the other two are below.

Send us a text This is a follow-up to the Viktor Ullman episode, recorded in August 2022( link at end ). Again - I am fortunate to interview Mark Ludwig (Director of the Terezin Music Foundation) and learn about the women at Terezin and their role in the music and the arts at this concentration camp. Though Terezín’s male composers — Gideon Klein, Viktor Ullmann, Hans Krása and others — are well known, many outstandingly talented women were at the epicenter of the camp’s cultural community as well. In this episdoe we will learn about the life and artistry of poet and composer Ilse Weber and about how she and women like Regina Jonas, who was the first ordained woman rabbi, and Bauhaus artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis helped their fellow prisoners transcend the horrors of Terezín. There were also the singers, pianists, and educators who comforted and enriched life within the walls of this concentration camp. Two images of the artwork from the children in Terezin will be posted at the podcast website, in the Viktor Ullman page ( link ).

Anne Hutchinson - Defiant Woman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony 49:24

1 year ago49:24

49:24

Send us a text This episode will present a very complete view of Hutchinson, from her early adoption of certain religious beliefs to her clash with Gov. Winthrop. Dr. Hermes will provide not only the story of her life but the religious and social background of the Massachusetts Bay Colony of the 1630's. Though the early years of the Bay Colony are often depicted as a haven for religious freedom, you will learn of philosophical divides and the involvement of the political leaders. And how these deep disagreements, as part of the Antinomian* Controversy, lead to the outright banishments of some of the early inhabitants. Hutchinson's unwavering alignment with controversial beliefs and misogyny, in part, contributed to her family's tragic fate. Provided at the end of the episode, will be excerpts from the trial exchanges with Hutchinson and Winthrop (at 44min, 12sec). *(from Greek, loosely translated to "Against the Law") Link to trial transcript Dr. Katherine A. Hermes is the publisher of Connecticut Explored (magazine of Connecticut History). Her impressive academic career includes: (A.B. History, cum laude, Univ. of CA- Irvine, M.A. & M.Phil History, Yale Univ., J.D. from Duke Univ. School of Law, Ph.D. in Colonial American History, Yale Univ.). Her dissertation, "Religion and Law in Colonial New England, 1620-1730", covered the Antinomian Controversy and Anne Hutchinson. She has had numerous publications, the most recent co-authored with Beth Caruso, "Between God and Satan: Thomas Thornton, Witch-Hunting, and Religious Mission in the English Atlantic World, 1647-1693," Connecticut History Review (Fall 2022). Connecticut Explored, the magazine of Connecticut history: ctexplored.org I am also pleased to announce my podcasts about Amalia Kussner resulted in a biography to be published next Spring !

To highlight these women, the Terezin Music Foundation – is excited to give them their due on the great stage of Symphony Hall in Boston at their next Gala Event on November 19th ( details here ). Do listen to the first podcast ( link here ), that will give a better understanding of life at Terezin, and how those living there were under constant threat of deportation to Auschwitz but also how music still could enrich their spirits.…

Our efforts were severely hindered in that there was inadequate data on tides, planning for coral reefs, etc. - to enact effective amphibious landing. Mary Sears, an overlooked oceanographer with untapped talent who, along with her team, became instrumental in turning the tide of the war in the United States’ favor.

Send us a text You will hear about a fascinating artist – J. C. Leyendecker- who's illustrations epitomized the lifestyles of America in the early 20th century. Note: this will be a PG rated episode. His commercial art – primarily in magazines, became an iconic art style from the 1900's through the 1930’s. Leyendecker was also a major influence for Norman Rockwell, one of America’s most beloved 20th century artists. You will learn of the evolution of Leyendecker's style – from the Paris art scene of the 1900’s to then reflecting the elegant lifestyle of the 1920’s that men and women strived for. But, in clever and subtle ways – his art also reflected his hidden lifestyle. Episode markers (in mins:secs) Background – J. C.

This came about since I connected again recently with my alma mater – the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH.

I was fortunate to take 3 courses from him and also was an assistant for an academic conference he hosted in 1976. He made impressive contributions to both the fields of geology and history and was a welcome colleague to many. In addition, you will also hear great stories about him from a professional colleague, Dr. Wallace Bothner, professor Emeritus at UNH, and a family perspective from nephew, Dr. Jonathan Schneer, Professor Emeritus at Georgia Tech.
