Roosevelt's New Deal

Davis Truman

The Roosevelt New Deal was a series of domestic programs and initiatives launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after he assumed office in 1933. At the time, the United States faced one of the worst economic crises in its history, with unemployment rates exceeding 25%, banks failing, and businesses closing down. In response to this crisis, Roosevelt sought to implement a range of policies to address the immediate needs of the people and the underlying causes of the economic downturn.
The New Deal was based on three primary goals: relief, recovery, and reform. Relief measures aimed to provide immediate assistance to those most affected by the Great Depression, including the unemployed, farmers, and the elderly. Recovery efforts focused on restoring the economy and creating jobs. At the same time, reform measures sought to address the structural issues that had contributed to the crisis, such as the lack of financial regulation and social safety nets.
Some of the critical initiatives of the New Deal included the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which employed young men to work on public projects such as road building and conservation; the establishment of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which provided jobs and training to millions of unemployed workers; and the implementation of agricultural subsidies to support struggling farmers.
The New Deal also saw significant changes in the regulation of the financial sector, including the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to insure bank deposits and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to regulate the stock market. Other reforms included establishing social security, which provided retirement benefits to elderly Americans, and the National Labor Relations Act, which protected workers' rights to unionize.

Death in the Rubble - The Female...

Richard Bodek

In 1949, the year of the Berlin airlift and the founding of the two post-war German states, Elisabeth Kusian (nurse, black marketeer, morphine and methamphetamine addict, and pathological liar) garroted and dismembered two people in a mini crime spree. Her actions both fascinated and terrified the public—how could this woman, a nurse, commit such a violent act? 
 
West Berlin detectives attempted to run an efficient investigation under new democratic rules. Their East Berlin counterparts, newly structured along Soviet lines, employed their restricted resources to solve the case and prove the advantages of their socialist system. Both tried to use the investigation to demonstrate their distance from the Third Reich and build a brighter future. 
 
Based on the true story of Elisabeth Kusian, Death in the Rubble explores shifting identities, evolving gender expectations, post-fascist politics and norms, and the violence lurking beneath a city struggling to redefine itself.
