None Of Them Were Heroes

Recounts the fate of descendants of the Oberman family from Leipzig, based on wartime family letters. Focuses on Adolf Rochman (1910-1964), who succeeded in reaching England in 1939, and his intermittent and unsuccessful efforts to obtain a visa for his mother, Lina Oberman Rochman (1885-1942), who was desperately trying to survive in Leipzig. Includes the tragic fate of Adolf's sister Berta Grusman and her daughter, who were killed in Cetata Alba, Romania, when the Nazis burned a group of Jews in a synagogue. Lina was reduced to penury, then taken with other Jews to the ruins of the Brody and Luebecker synagogues. About the time her British visa came through, she was forced onto a transport to Riga which she did not survive. British antisemitism is revealed when the interning of Jewish refugees from Nazism is associated with political pressure from British fascists like Moseley. Adolf, who changed his name to Peter, is criticized for not doing enough to try to save his mother. The letters are interspersed with newspaper reports on events of the time.

Trauma in Schools and Communities uses the power of first-hand, autobiographical narratives to illustrate the advantages and pitfalls of specific interventions implemented in the wake of tragedies. This book addresses short- and long-term impacts of traumatic events and the challenges both survivors and responders face, using case studies from the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing; the Gulf War; the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks; Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; student suicides; the killing of a teacher; and the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary, Virginia Tech, and Chardon, Ohio, among others. Each story features reactions and lessons that are unique and support specific, multidisciplinary, structured interventions that should be a part of every crisis team’s protocol and every community’s recovery effort. An appendix features a summary of the lessons learned, a "what if?" scenario, time-specific trauma recovery interventions, a fan-out meeting agenda, a traumatic event crisis intervention plan, and answers to questions commonly asked by students about suicide.

This book reveals how writers, as explorers of collective memory and historical record, imagine cautionary Nat Turner-tales that reflect their time and beliefs. The book critically surveys how Turner inspired the cultural imagination and became a largely misunderstood and polarizing figure in the US imaginary. By locating the Turner Insurrection within the territory of historical race trauma, writers across the color-line have exposed the lasting impact of slavery on American society. As African Americans continue to endure the indignities and inequity of an insidiously racist system, servile insurrections emerge as models of heroic rebellion. Historical literature is mnemonic in nature and cautionary in purpose. Since rebellion is predetermined within unjust systems, as recently as May 2020, the police killing of yet another unarmed Black man caused nation-wide protests. The US is undergoing a paradigm shift that dispels the political fiction of racial equality and the optimistic rhetoric of a colorblind and racially reconciled America, as it exposes the devastating effects of race trauma.
