Those Who Die!
The grocer’s son is on Saigon,
The baker’s now in Rome.
The newsboy that we used to have
Lies buried far from home.
The little laundry man is gone,
He lies there waiting, still,
For the transport that will carry him
Back home from Bougainville.
At Kasserine the Plumber’s boy
Picked up a shrapnel bit,
And in London’s robot-bombing hell
Our neighbor’s son was hit.
Three schoolboys lie in Coral Seas,
No more their tramping feet,
Will echo through the corridors
Though the enemy retreat.
With what adventurous spirit
Those youngsters joined the fray,
The morning of December 8th,
I’ve ne’er forget that day.
At Anzie the fruit man’s son
Fell from a sniping Hun,
And many kids my youngster knew
Lie dying in the sun.
That rich kid on the corner
We used to think so swell
Chalked up his fifteenth Zero
And, died in a fiery hell.
The grocer’s a Norwegian,
The finest boy we knew,
The baker was Bohemian,
The newsboy was a Jew.
So rich and poor alike they fall,
A price they’re glad to pay
To cleanse the world of tyranny,
And pave a better way.
And shall we fail those boys who die
Their sacrifice in vain?
Let’s conquer greed and lust and hate,
And make Honor rise again.

"Those Who Die!" by Frank Eisenberg.
Description
An account of the resource
“Those Who Die”, was a poem written by Frank Eisenberg. The deaths of those in the protagonist's life who died fighting in World War II are acknowledged. Those who died included the grocer's son, the baker, the laundry man, the fruit man, the plumber's son, and the newsboy, many of the working class people in his life. The poem also acknowledges the deaths of three schoolboys, a neighbor boy, the rich boy up the street and classmates of his son. The poem ends on a positive note and asks that their sacrifice not be in vain and that "greed, lust and hate”, be conquered and make "Honor rise again."

Title
A name given to the resource
1925 Movie Magazine
Description
An account of the resource
Sample pages from a Finkelstein and Ruben Movie Magazine publication that contains advertisements, movie industry articles, and theater schedules.
The Movie Magazine is a phenomenon that rose in popularity in the 1920s and evolved to become a publication that was meant more to entertain rather than inform. Early stages of the Movie Magazine featured articles explaining the mechanics of the movie industry, but going into the late '20s and early 30s fictionalized versions of films became the bulk of the content. These later magazines were predecessors for today's reader digests.
The above example wavers between the earlier versions of magazines and the later ones, containing both entertaining and informative content.

The gal got quite a kick out of the message and so did we? The dance was “out of this world” decorations in the Christmas motif –reindeer, trees, bells, etc. Much military, too, grandmarch with the drawn sabors making the final arch. Presentation of the miniature sabers and honorary commissions to the officers and seniors gal friends was a buen big occasion. The colonial was out from the state office and brought along his good looking daughter and my wife had to keep her weather eye peeled to keep me in line—sounds good anyway. She was no queen but a good dancer and we got enough of the boys to exchange with her so as to give her a good time and uphold the hospitality of Breck. <br /><br />A call to your Mother let us in on the know concerning your nefarious activities. Ship’s photographer, radar man, the Lothario of fleet all rolled up in one. Quit a program for little Artie. <br /><br />Got a few letters from Vic Storberg, George Thompson, and George Coffin – all S 2/z with Coffin in Amphib, Storberg in Aviation Gunnery and Ordance and Thompson already on the high seas. <br /><br />Not much to report from this home front. My brother was killed in action according to latest reports and that was tough to take but so many thousands are that way and so many more may be the sacrifice while not less seems just part of the whole evil pattern. Hope the “old boys,” will get their bellies full of this slaughter and make a decent world and that you guys will keep it that way. <br /><br />Well Artie—good to hear from you despite the usual unorthodox Eisenberg way –save your dough guy and write “free”— or have you forgotten how?

Dec 16, 1944, letter to Art Eisenberg from Robert Schanke, Camp Braemar Director
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Regarding the war, Robert Schanke said to Art, "A call to your Mother let us in on the know concerning your nefarious activities. Ship’s photographer, radar man, the Lothario of fleet all rolled up in one. Quit a program for little Artie.</p>
<p>Got a few letters from Vic Storberg, George Thompson, and George Coffin – all S 2/z with Coffin in Amphib, Storberg in Aviation Gunnery and Ordance and Thompson already on the high seas.</p>
<p>Not much to report from this home front. <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>My brother was killed in action</strong> </span>according to latest reports and that was tough to take but so many thousands are that way and so many more may be the sacrifice while not less seems just part of the whole evil pattern. Hope the “old boys,” will get their bellies full of this slaughter and make a decent world and that you guys will keep it that way."</p>
<p>After telling Art about magnificence of Breck's military formal, and a Colonial's daughter and other news, he mentioned that his own brother was killed in action, and that the sacrifice was to be expected. </p>
<p>In the beginning of the letter, Mr. Schanke mentioned that Art sent a telegram. An example of a telegram has been included. The telegram was the selected mode of communication used by the federal government during the war to inform families their loved ones had been killed in action. Many individuals during that time also used telegrams to convey bad news; to receive a telegram was usually a very frightening experience. </p>

July 30, 1944
Dear Art:
Just back from the office where I grabbed a flock of thin thin paper; On Plymouth this morning I picked up Sammie Kantor, you went to Talmud Torah with him. He is discharged, lisps badly, and is going to Miller Vocational. He told me to tell you that Arthur Goldstein left for Farragut last Thursday. You may get a chance to look him up since Sammie says you know him also.
We are just taking it easy today, are rather tired from getting in so late Friday nite, we wrote you we were at Doc Littman’s’ that night. We are wondering if you will call us today, altho mother says she wrote you next Sunday is my birthday and you might want to call then. Call whenever you can get a line, someone will always be here, but don’t call person to person. Call our number Collect and we can accept or refuse the call at regular rates, then if we want to take the call, you will know someone is here to talk, otherwise, have them call you back later when someone will no doubt be at home.
We will send you a newspaper of the Aqua as soon as we get one downtown, mother says the kids on the street collected the money and then didn’t send the papers. We will go direct to the paper office.
- - - - -
6:00 P.M.
We had a lazy day, didn’t so a thing till late in the afternoon when we ran over to Sam Bight’s to leave his sister a box of candy, had a nice visit, then to Sam Broud’s, Max’s brother, who had a serious operation, we should have gone before, but when we finally did make it, he had gone to work today for the first time so we didn’t see him after all. Then to Plymouth for bread and here we are home again, wondering yet if we will talk to you. Listening to the Philco Hour now, and will then let this go for a while when we will add a few words and drive to the P.O. mailing. Will try not to forget stamps today, last night we forgot.
I hope the friends you are making are nicer boys, I told you a thing about what you would run into. Wish you had a chance to take up boxing in the Navy. I still think a good sock goes a long way with a fellow and wish you had a chance to develop one for yourself. Brot (sic) brought a flock of thin paper from the office so we will be able to write longer letters, and I didn’t get the idea from your gramp, believe, me. More later
Dad

July 30, 1944 letter to Art from Frank Eisenberg
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Frank Eisenberg causally references the war when he tells Art that he picked up an old schoolmate from Talmud Torah, Sammie Kantor. Said, Sammie was recently discharged, had a lispe and planned to attend Miller Vocational. Said Sammie told him a guy he knew, Arthur Goldstein, left for Farragut (where Art is stationed) last Thursday and to look him up.</p>
<p>Later in his letter, Frank said that he warned Art about the sort of fellow he might run up against once he was in the Navy. That a good sock goes a long way and that he wished that Art could take up boxing in the Navy.</p>
<p> Two other things also worth nothing in Frank’s letter. He told Art that he planned to listen to the Philco Hour and suggested that when Art called next week for his birthday, August 6, 1944, that he call <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Collect</span>.</p>
<p>The Philco Hour was a once a week radio show that featured the Philco Orchestra. Here's a YouTube link with the orchestra playing a favorite from, “Connecticut Yankee that musical version of Mark Twain’s story, Thou Swell.” Philco Hour: <a title="The Philco Hour" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NkKD8aUxRs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NkKD8aUxRs</a></p>
<p>A<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> collect call</span> was a telephone call where the calling party called at the called party’s expense. At that time collect calls were only possible as an operator assisted call. A person-to-person call was an operator-assisted call in which the calling party asked to speak to a specific party and not simply to anyone who answered. The caller was not charged for the call unless the requested party was reached. This method was popular when telephone calls were relatively expensive. Station-to-station was a method of placing a telephone call, with or without assistance, in which the calling party agreed to talk to whoever answered the telephone.

Letter from Frank to his mother and sister
Description
An account of the resource
Frank wrote this letter on November 15th, 1918 to his mother and sister. He wrote the letter while he was serving in France during World War I.
Frank begins this letter by saying that the war is over – something that he had been anticipating for a while. He is not sure when he will be getting home, but he believes it will be sometime before Easter. It is interesting that Frank, a Jewish man, is referencing Easter, a Christian holiday – the holiday that celebrates Jesus rising from the dead, instead of a holiday, such as Passover. This could perhaps due to the culture Frank is living in and the people he is surrounded by. He also mentions twice that he is going to stop writing so much. It is possible that now that the war is over, there is a lot more to do (i.e. clean up and reconstruction) and he doesn’t anticipate having a lot of time. It is also likely that he doesn’t feel the need to write so often because the war is over and so that fear of what might happen is dispersed.
He complains about the letters he is receiving from his mother and sister. He says that he wants to hear news from home – information that is relevant to him and the family. This is something that Frank has complained about in past letters. It appears that Frank feels cut off from home and knowing what is going on helps him feel relevant and connected – as if he is not an ocean away.
The letter is based off of what Frank is thinking and feeling. The war is finally over and he is anticipating going home in a few months’ time. But he is still in France, separated from his family and feels that distance.

Letter from Frank to his mother and sister
Description
An account of the resource
Frank wrote this letter on November 1, 1918. He wrote the letter to his mother and sister while he was serving in France during World War I.
He starts out the letter by again wondering why his mother and sister hadn’t written. He had gotten letters from two different people that had said everything at home was fine and didn’t understand why they were not responding. So he said he was going to stop writing so they can “think the matter over.” Then later says that if he does not receive a letter by November 11th, he will stop writing until the New Year. He goes on to say that he and the other soldiers think that the war won’t last for more than a few months longer and that there is a rumor that Turkey has surrendered. Frank also mentions his cold and the weather. Again he mentions the YMCA entertainment. They hosted the Orpheum Circuit, and had a waffle party – the men were so excited to have waffles, they waited in line until after 11 just to taste them again. He said they were going to have a basketball game.
The letter is written based on what Frank is feeling and experiencing while serving over in France. He spent a lot of space in this letter talking about the fact that neither his mother nor sister is writing to him. He seems to be trying to make them feel guilt, saying “I am sending you a little reminder that I am still here tho I am there to you.” It is like he feels forgotten – like he thinks his family has moved on and adjusted to life without him in it. The document also focuses a lot on the YMCA events. They seem to be something that all the soldiers really enjoy – particularly the waffle party, because the waffles weren’t something the soldiers got to eat. This letter shows how the little things mean so much to these soldiers. One wouldn’t think that eating waffles or playing a basketball game would necessarily be significant, but these men are far away from home and deprived of many of the things that one would normally take for granted.

Letter from Frank to his mother and sister
Description
An account of the resource
Frank wrote this letter on November 7th, 1918 to his mother and sister. He wrote the letter while he was serving in France during World War I.
Again Frank mentions the fact that he still has not received a letter from them and he doesn’t understand why. He said that he had received a letter from his brother, Meyer, and that he had recently gotten a long letter from his mother and sister. Frank appears to be experiencing a hint of jealousy because his brother recently received a letter and he has not, but he also expects to be getting one soon. Frank probably feels the distance between him and his family and he wants to bridge that gap by receiving letters from home. He also speaks about the weather and how it is getting colder, but that they are in a good location and they will likely remain there throughout the winter and until the end of the war. There is the common belief that the Allies will soon be victorious over the Germans. He tells his mother and sister that the soldiers all have bets about when the war will end. They expect the Germans to surrender soon and they anticipate that they will all be back in the United States within a year’s time. Frank appears to be looking forward to the future in this letter. When he talks about leaving France, he says that he hopes to go back one day. He also begins to make plans from when he finally does get home. He tells his mother that as soon as he gets home he wants to move into a new home and so he asks her to get a few things together so he can make the place look real. He also says that when he gets home he will be able to help his mother in the kitchen. In a seemingly joking tone, Frank adds “The experience I have had in the kitchen will enable me to go on strike if I am not satisfied with the “mess” you put out.” He is making plans to attend a school of journalism when he gets home and is planning on arranging it all while he is still in France so that his plans will not be disrupted once he is home. He finishes the letter by saying, “if anyone is sore at me, tell them to get over it, for when I come home I will be to busy to look em up and apologize.” Frank is anticipating coming home and all sorts of plans once the war is over.
This letter, written by Frank, is based on his experiences. Throughout the letters, he continually expresses his frustration because he does not receive regular letters from his mother and sister. The lack of communication leaves Frank feeling separated from his home and from his family. Something quite unique in this particular letter was his looking forward to the future. He can see the end of the war is near and he is preparing for when the day comes and he gets to return home.

Letter from Frank to his mother and sister
Description
An account of the resource
Frank wrote this letter on October 12, 1918 to his mother and sister. He wrote the letter while he was serving in France during World War I.
In this letter, Frank talks about the weather and says that there is really nothing to do, but he arranged a movie showing through the YMCA for tomorrow. They are likely to stay where they are for the rest of the winter, but they have a nice reading room now and lots of sports – like boxing matches and kangaroo courts. Also they get to keep the Edison for a few more weeks. Frank also asks about how everything is at home. He asks his mother and sister to write a long letter. He says “put a little news in it besides the old formula.”
The letter is written from the experiences and feelings of Frank. It’s interesting that Frank talks about the weather, because generally one talks about the weather when they have nothing else to say. In the letter, Frank even says that there is nothing to do, so weather is one of the few things he has to talk about. Frank generally tries to focus on the little excitements that break up his everyday routine – like the YMCA entertainment. It seems that Frank’s day-to-day experience is fairly dull and bits of news, rumors, and entertainment from the YMCA help to make life as a soldier in France slightly more interesting.
