The Botstiber Podcast S4E1

Duncan Bare

 

 

In this episode we are lucky to hear from recent Botstiber grantee and lecturer at the University of Graz, Duncan Bare. Bare's research has offered a new glimpse into the development of the United States' intelligence agencies, especially the OSS, SSU and CIG, in the context of their 1940s Austrian operations.

 

Listen in to hear the stories of these organizations' early days, the normal people tasked with establishing their presence, and the eventual creation of the CIA!

New Blog Post by Dóra Fedeles-Czeferner

 

"A Life in the Service of Women's and Peace Movements: Rosika Schwimmer"

 

A new blog post on the impactful and inspirational life of Rosika Schwimmer is now available on our website:

 

"Rosika Schwimmer is probably the most established Hungarian women’s movement activist from the first half of the 20th century. In November 1918, she even stepped onto the international political stage when the government of Count Mihály Károlyi (1875, Fót, Hungary-1955, Vence, France) made her Hungarian envoy to Switzerland. As an emigrant to the US, she was awarded the World Peace Prize in 1937 in recognition of her work, and she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949."

 

 

 

 

The Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies promotes an understanding of the historic relationship between the United States and Austria, which includes the lands of the former Habsburg empire, by awarding grants, organizing lectures and conferences, publishing the Journal of Austrian-American History, and digital media.
