It may besmall in size, but offers so much!Rhode Island has a rich and dramatichistory being the first colony (1652),which enacted the first law against slaveryin North America. It was also the firstcolony (May 1776) to renounce allegianceto Great Britain and “declare” independence.Rhode Island is also the birthplace ofGilbert Stuart, the famous artist. The portraitof George Washington on our onedollarbill is a sample of his talent.There is so much natural beauty here,with more than 400 miles of coastlinewith beautiful beaches. You can enjoy aclambake or tour Newport Harbor aboarda schooner. And, of course, Newport isfamous for its jazz festivals, yacht races,International Tennis Hall of Fame andmansions.The magnificent mansions, which reflectthe glitter, glamour and great wealthof the “roaring 20s.” Most are open to thepublic, worth the admittance fee. My favoriteis The Breakers, summer estate ofCornelius Vanderbilt (relatives built nearby).Some movies filmed there includeThe Great Gatsby (1974) with RobertRedford and Mia Farrow and High Societywith Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly.Twelve miles off the coast of RhodeIsland is Block Island. Enjoy a boat tripto a natural paradise with wonderfulpanoramic vistas. In recent years, Providence’sFederal Hill has become a meccafor people who love to browse the shopsand enjoy good food; a great way to spenda day.For anyone planning to fly to NewEngland, about 50 miles from Boston, inRhode Island, an alternate to Logan Airportis T.F.

October 2009 The World News® 17View fromthe LibraryDoris KnightYou may remember when Kurt Waldheimof Austria was the Secretary Generalof the United Nations from 1971 to 1981.He was widely respected in that position,although in the final years, rumors beganto circulate that he was a Nazi or at leasta supporter during World War II.When Waldheim chose to run for thepresidency of Austria after his time at theUnited Nations had expired, the rumorsand whispers became a public discussionas whether he was suitable to becomepresident of a democratic state. As a result,a historian at the University of SouthCarolina was asked by the World JewishCouncil to research Waldheim’s careerand learn whether he had been guilty ofwar crimes during World War II.Robert Edwin Herzstein, author of“Waldheim: The Missing Years,” is a widelyrespected student of Nazi Germany,skilled in working with German militarydocuments, and the author of severalbooks.Herzstein notes that he had doubtsabout Waldheim after he had said thathe had received a doctoral degree in1944 from the law faculty of the Universityof Vienna. The University hadbeen thoroughly controlled by the Nazissince they took over Austria in 1938.Herzstein agreed to assume the responsibilityfor this research and spent thenext two and one half years in London,Belgrade, Vienna and Washington studyingWorld War II documents.To summarize briefly, Waldheim wasin graduate school in Vienna when theNazis took over in 1938. Eventually, hebecame a member of the German armyand was sent to the eastern front to helpinvade the USSR, was wounded, and sentback to Vienna. Waldheim was then assignedto the Balkans where he served asa facilitator, passing along orders fromone area to another.After 1944, when he returned to Vienna,he finished his doctorate in law. Whenthe war was over, he talked freely abouthis time in combat and his wound in Russiabut never mentioned his time in theBalkans.In the chaos that existed inWestern Europe after the war wasover, no one bothered to look intohis records. He became an acceptedlegal scholar and was moved to highpositions in Austria; from here, hewas transferred to the United Nationsand eventually to the highestposition of Secretary General.But as time went on, some persons beganto look into the records of thewar years to learn what Waldheimhad done. Many records were noteasily available but those that wereseemed to indicate that his role asfacilitator in the Balkans had helpedthe Nazis take dreadful stepsagainst many Jews and other personsduring the war years. It was at that pointthat Herzstein was asked to follow up thestory.After his research was concluded,Professor Herzstein wrote “Sofar as I have been able to determine,Kurt Waldheim did not in fact order,incite, or personally commit what iscommonly called a war crime. Butthe non-guilt must not be confused withinnocence… This historian sees Waldheimas having served as a small but very realcog in a large murderous machine.”So the story ends; it seems likelythat we know as much as it ispossible to know today.GenealogicalSocietyElizabeth KyleKudos to our education committee fora superb course on how to use the FamilyTree Maker Program. Ron Chard, DickBelz and Julia Hendrick provided substantialhandouts, which must have requiredhours of work. Thanks to them, we havea library filled with excellent resources.Thanks again for sharing your genealogicalknow-how with the rest of us.Since taking the course, I have tried tospend at least an hour each day gettingorganized and entering the facts I knowabout the Kyle branch of the family. Byusing the new program, I have a muchclearer picture of what I know and whatI have to learn. The notes and notebookshave begun to take the shape of a familytree. Yes, the course has motivated me toget things organized and to make moreprogress in my research.A very good way to kick-start your re-search is to listen to those who know genealogicalresearch. Don’t forget to saveOct. 31 for a seminar by George Morganon U.S. Immigration Records, including:• Ships’ arrivals prior to 1820• Customs Passenger Lists (1820-1891)• Creation of Immigration Bureauand New Processing in 1891• Methodologies for Locating YourAncestors• The second topic of the seminaris Using the Heritage Quest Databases,which include:• U.S. Federal Census Images for1790 through 1930• The Periodical Source Index (PER-SI)• A collection of indexed andsearchable Revolutionary War Eradocument imagesRegistration is through Master the Possibilities.Heritage Quest is a free resource availablethrough the Marion County Public Library.All you need is a library card. So, besure to have a library card available whenyou arrive home ready to try out yournew knowledge.The third Monday meetings will resumethis month. Our business meetingsare held on the second Monday at 10 a.m.in Room 3 of the Arts and Crafts Building.Visitors are welcomed with openarms. Help is available from people whoknow a lot more about genealogy thanthis writer.Emergency After-HoursPhone Number236-OTOW (236-6869)Women’s Cancer Support GroupThe August meeting was an energeticone with our Fitness Director, CammyDennis’ presentation of the Medical/ExerciseConnection for the Aging Adult.
