Future: the Holocaust in an Age of Genocide https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/b ... -3%2F1.pdfElisabeth Jenny Jeanne "Betty" Maxwell (née Meynard; 11 March 1921 – 7 August 2013) was a French-born researcher on the Holocaust who established the journal Holocaust and Genocide Studies in 1987.[1] She was married to publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell from 1945 until his death in 1991 ... Later in life, she was recognized for her work as a proponent of Interfaith dialogue and received several awards including an honorary fellowship from the Woolf Institute at Cambridge...
Maxwell was born Elisabeth Jenny Jeanne Meynard in La Grive, near Saint-Alban-de-Roche, France, to Louis "Paul" Meynard and Colombe (née Petel) Meynard.[1][5] Paul Meynard was a Protestant descendant of the Huguenot upper class and Colombe Meynard was a Roman Catholic (whose marriage to a Protestant resulted in her excommunication)... Her parents sent her to England at age nine to attend the convent of Our Lady of Compassion at Acocks Green in Birmingham.[6] In 1932, she returned to France. Meynard studied law at the Sorbonne.
In September 1944, after the Liberation of Paris, she met Czechoslovakian-born British Army Captain Robert Maxwell, while working as an interpreter for the 'Welcome Committee', which introduced French people to allied officers; they married on 15 March 1945.
In her forties, Maxwell worked in public relations for her husband's company and campaigned for him in the general election of 1964; he was elected as the Labour MP for Buckingham. She then earned a BA degree in modern languages at St Hugh's College, Oxford.
In 1981, at the age of 60, Maxwell was awarded a PhD in French Literature from the University of Oxford for her thesis on The art of Letter Writing in France, 1789-1830.[12][13] Her thesis work focused on researching a Protestant circle in Lyons.
Maxwell was an editor for the book Remembering for the Future: the Holocaust in an Age of Genocide, a comprehensive work including the contributions of nearly 200 scholars, published in 2001.[23][24] According to BBC News, Maxwell served as the executive chairman of the Remembering for the Future organization and was the opening speaker for the London conference Evil and Indifference: Is there an End to Genocide? held at Westminster Hall in July 2000.[25] She was on the Executive Committee of the International Council of Christians and Jews and founded the International Conference on the Holocaust.
Looking at the attendees of that first Holocaust conference provides quite an impressive list of academics and politicians.. I wondered about Betty's influence and list of contacts... and started by looking at her first degree at Oxford University which she attended in the mid-Sixties...
St Hugh's College, Oxford https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Hugh%2 ... 45_onwards
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Headlam-MorleyIt was founded in 1886 by Elizabeth Wordsworth as a women's college, and accepted its first male students in its centenary year in 1986.... In 1943 the college acquired the leasehold of 72 Woodstock Road (known as The Shrubbery) from Dame Gertrude Whitehead for £1,500. It was used as a club for American soldiers during the war.[16] In 1946, it was leased to the University of Paris as the Maison française d'Oxford, an Anglo-French educational establishment. One of the cottages in the grounds of number 72 was later leased by Barbara Gwyer after her retirement as principal.
1945 onwards
The college buildings were de-requisitioned in 1945. The hospital huts were initially leased as offices to university departments, including the Bureau of Animal Population, the Department of Zoological Field Studies and the Institute of Statistics, before being demolished in 1952.[16] Agnes Headlam-Morley, a fellow of St Hugh's, became the first woman to hold a chair at the University of Oxford in 1948.
On the Heirs to Agnes Headlam-Morley https://blogs.sussex.ac.uk/whit/2019/04 ... am-morley/From 1948 to 1971, she was Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at the University of Oxford. Upon her appointment in October 1948, she became the first woman to be appointed to a chair at Oxford... She was the only daughter of Sir James Wycliffe Headlam-Morley
Arnold J. Toynbee https://wikivisually.com/wiki/Arnold_J._ToynbeeFirst consider a puzzle. In IR’s intellectual and disciplinary history, women appear to be less present between the late 1940s and 1980s than at any time in the first half of the 20th century (Owens, 2018). This is puzzling because we tend to think of women’s position as improving through the course of the twentieth-century, especially as their access to higher education increased. So why does their position seem to regress in IR?..
Consider one of the most disparaged figures in the break from diplomatic history, Agnes Headlam-Morley, the first women to become a full Professor at the University of Oxford... An historian of Anglo-German relations and one-time would-be Tory MP, at Oxford she was a famed salon hostess..
The consensus among the chroniclers of IR’s history is that she failed to develop the subject because she continued to view IR as a subfield of History. .. for Martin Ceadel, Agnes’s intellectual interests were ‘inherited’ from her father, James, an historian and senior civil servant who helped draft the Treaty of Versailles (Ceadel, 2014: 189). On this account, IR’s fortunes only revived after Agnes’s retirement in 1971 and the return to Oxford of Hedley Bull, who held the Montagu Burton Chair between 1977 and 1985.
..Headlam-Morley appears on the very last page of Carroll Quigley’s infamous book, The Anglo-American Establishment: From Rhodes to Cliveden,on the Anglophone network seeking to establish global racial supremacy through imperial federation. ‘[T]he great idealistic adventure which began with Toynbee and Milner in 1875 had slowly ground its way to a finish of bitterness and ashes’ when this ‘middle-aged spinster… with one publication to her credit’ sat in the Oxford chair (1981: 310).
Re Charity Organization Society:From 1918 to 1950, Toynbee was considered a leading specialist on international affairs...However, by the 1960s his magnum opus had fallen out of favour among mainstream historians due to a perception that Toynbee favoured myths, allegories and religion over factual data.
Toynbee (born in London on 14 April 1889) was the son of Harry Valpy Toynbee (1861–1941), secretary of the Charity Organization Society, and his wife Sarah Edith Marshall (1859–1939)... In 1912 he became a tutor and fellow in ancient history at Balliol College, and in 1915 he began working for the intelligence department of the British Foreign Office. After serving as a delegate to the Paris Peace Conference..
History of United Way, its deep connections to the Gates family and its roots in eugencics viewtopic.php?f=50&t=1861
Anyone noticed the uptick in mass shootings in the US recently? See: Jeffrey Epstein and the Gun Control Agenda https://searchvoat.co/v/pizzagate/3421635[United Way] has roots in Denver, Colorado, where in 1887 Frances Wisebart Jacobs, along with other religious leaders, began the Charity Organization Society, which coordinated services between Jewish and Christian charities and fundraising for 22 agencies... The first Community Chest was founded in 1913 in Cleveland, Ohio,[3] after the example of the Jewish Federation in Cleveland—which served as an exemplary model for "federated giving"...
