Ernst Heumann family collection ; 1843-1999 1918-1931; 1950-1981
No full textThe Ernst Heumann Family Collection documents three generations of his family, including members of the Messer, van Gelder, Oppenheim, Haas, and related families. Much of the collection centers on how the businessman Ernst Heumann and his wife Hedi née Messer established themselves in the United States and built their family; also present is documentation on their early lives in Germany and their emigration. The bulk of the collection consists of the family's extensive personal correspondence; official and personal documents are also a central part of the collection. Documents include private correspondence; official and educational certificates; immigration papers; legal documents; Ernst Heumann's business correspondence and papers; some family trees; family writings, such as poems, essays and short stories; travel memorabilia; and other documentation.Ernst Heumann was born on July 24, 1900 in the town of Gau-Odernheim, Germany, the son of Adolf and Fanny (née Haas) Heumann. He had two younger sisters: Edith and Alice. As a young man he apprenticed at the import and export firm Siegmund Strauss Jr. in Frankfurt am Main. However, by the early 1920s he had become concerned at the lack of economic opportunity in Germany and decided to emigrate to the United States. In 1924 he traveled with his friend Artur Schuster to New York, arriving in January 1924 and eventually working in real estate. Ernst’s sister Alice followed him to New York, arriving first in 1926 and settling in May 1932.Ernst Heumann met Hedi Messer (born Margot Hedwig, but called Hedi in later official correspondence) before visiting Germany in 1929. Hedi, born January 25, 1908, was the daughter of Isak Josef (called Isi) and Elizabeth (called Betty, née van Gelder) Messer of Frankfurt am Main. She had two siblings, Herbert and Gretel. Hedi had emigrated to New York in 1927 with the financial assistance of her cousin Max Oppenheim, who also assisted other members of the Messer family to emigrate. Ernst and Hedi married in early 1932. They would have two daughters, Audrey and Elaine. Eventually the family moved to Great Neck, New York. By the late 1940s, Ernst Heumann had become head of the real estate firm, Trylon Realty Corporation in Forest Hills.During the 1930s, other members of the family joined Ernst and Hedi Heumann in New York. Isak Josef Messer and Elizabeth (Betty) Messer arrived in New York on April 27, 1934. Adolf and Fanny Heumann arrived in New York on May 31, 1935. Ernst's sister Edith immigrated via Canada in 1934. Hedi's brother Herbert had emigrated in 1928, their sister Gretel came to New York in 1934.Audrey Heumann studied theater at Bard College and eventually married the lawyer Ezra Regen; they had 3 children. Elaine Heumann attended Brandeis University and married the physician Bennett (Ben) Gurian with whom she had two children.Beginning in 1959 Ernst and Hedi Heumann took many cruises, including trips around the world, to South America, Europe, and several trips to Asia and the South Pacific.Ernst Heumann passed away in 1981; Hedi Heumann died in 1991.Finding aid available onlineProcesse

Afterward: September 11th and Racial Profiling
No full textThe last edition of the Rutgers Law Review published the Article, Profiles in Justice? Police Discretion, Symbolic Assailants, and Stereotyping in which the Authors discussed various aspects about the practice and current debate over racial profiling. As noted in a postscript, that Article was being prepared for publication just as the monstrous and tragic events of September 11, 2001 occurred, and too late to assess or include observations about how those events affect the debate about profiling. Although we are still in the wake of those events, it is clear that the terrorist attacks have reinvigorated the debate over racial profiling. As we contemplate, both as a nation and individually, how the events of that day will change our lives in this country, it has been frequently observed that there are few, if any, areas of life that the terrorist attack did not touch. That includes the practice of "racial profiling," which was the subject of the previous Article. Though too soon after the events to provide definitive comments on how September 11th will affect the larger public debate on racial profiling, a few observations, albeit tentative ones, can be offered.This is an electronic version of the article published in Rutgers Law Review, 54(1):283-291, 2001 Fall.Peer reviewe
Der Göttingische Ausruff von 1744
No full textDer aus Nürnberg stammende bekannte Künstler Georg Daniel Heumann (1691-1759) war 1740 als Universitäts-Kupferstecher an die Georgia Augusta nach Göttingen berufen worden. Aufgrund seines Interesses an den ambulanten Straßenhändlern wurde er zum Schöpfer des Göttingischen Ausruffs, einer Graphikserie von kunstvollen 30 Radierungen. Sie sind eine wertvolle Dokumentation des Wanderhandels in einer niedersächsischen Ackerbürgerstadt, die zur Universitätsstadt wurde und in der das traditionelle ländliche Warenangebot mit den Bedürfnissen einer anspruchsvolleren Bevölkerungs- gruppe konkurrierte. Mit seiner ausgezeichneten Beobachtungsgabe und der Freude am Detail hat Heumann die Lebenswirklichkeit des Göttinger Straßenhandels und das neue Ambiente der Stadt authentisch eingefangen. Er stellte keine Typen von Straßenhändlern dar, sondern Individuen in ihrer Kleidung, ihrer Körpersprache, ihrem Warenangebot bzw. ihren Dienstleistungen, ihren niederdeutschen Ausrufen und ihrer Art und Weise, wie sie ihre Waren transportierten und anboten. Im Kommentar stellt der Herausgeber dar, welchen Stellenwert der Straßenhandel innerhalb der Göttinger Marktordnungen und des etablierten Zunftwesens einnahm, welche Waren erwünscht und welche unerwünscht waren.The well-known artist Georg Daniel Heumann (1691-1759), who came from Nuremberg, had been appointed as a university copper engraver at the Georgia Augusta in Göttingen in 1740. Because of his interest in itinerant street traders, he became the creator of the Göttingischen Ausruff, a series of prints of 30 artistic etchings. They are a valuable documentation of itinerant trade in a Lower Saxon agrarian town that was becoming a university town and where the traditional rural range of goods competed with the needs of a more sophisticated section of the population. With his excellent powers of observation and delight in detail, Heumann authentically captured the reality of life in Göttingen's street trading and the new ambience of the city. He did not depict types of street vendors, but individuals in their dress, body language, range of goods or services, Low German exclamations, and the way they transported and offered their wares. In the commentary, the editor presents the status of street trading within the Göttingen market regulations and the established guild system, which goods were desired and which were undesirable.

Speaker Bios:
Judith (Judy) Heumann is a lifelong advocate for the rights of disabled people. She contracted polio in 1949 in Brooklyn, New York and began to use a wheelchair for her mobility. She was denied the right to attend school because she was considered a fire hazard at the age of five. Her parents played a strong role in fighting for her rights as a child, but Judy soon determined that she, working in collaboration with other disabled people, had to play an advocacy role due to continuous discrimination. She has been instrumental in the development and implementation of legislation advancing the inclusion of disabled people in the US and around the world and fighting to end discrimination against all those with disabilities. She is now an internationally recognized leader in the disability rights community.
Dr. Miro Griffiths is a Leverhulme Research Fellow in Disability Studies at the University of Leeds, UK. Miro\u27s research explores disabled people\u27s participation and experience of resistance practices, politics, and activist mobilization. Miro lectures on disability theory, research methods, and policy analysis. He is an adviser on disability policy to the UK Government, UK Equality and Human Rights Commission, European Commission, and disabled people\u27s organizations across Europe. Miro identifies as a disabled person
Audrey Heumann Regen \u2756 (BardCorps)
No full textAudrey Heumann Regen returned to Bard in 2001 for her 45th reunion. Regan was a high achieving high-school student with a nagging case of test anxiety who came to Bard for its unorthodox philosophy and strong arts curriculum. She remembers Buzz Gummere admitting her because of her wide range of interests. Her senior project advisor was Dorothy Dulles Bourne, and her project focused on the educational theories of John Dewey.
She recalls a tradition where Eleanor Roosevelt would come to Bard every Christmas season to read Dickens\u27 A Christmas Carol to the students. One year, a fellow student, a polio survivor, wanted to honor Mrs. Roosevelt by opening the door for her. Audrey remembers this as a poignant moment, watching Mrs. Roosevelt give him time because she knew the effort this took.
Regen remembers Bard as a much smaller place, with 250 students and only a few established buildings. She describes the quality as ‘homey’ or ‘hamish’ with students congregating at the little coffee shop in Stone Row. It was a very wholesome and healthy isolation, that you could concentrate without a great many distractions, on your studies. At the same time, she describes Bard\u27s reputation during her day as a wild place, with strange clothing, wild behaviors, and a great deal of sexual experimentation.
Campus jobs for Audrey included delivering the mail to faculty, and in one instance, tutoring a professor’s child in reading, Erica DeGre (now Rikki Ducornet).
Regen also remembers attending a synagogue in Poughkeepsie for Jewish holidays. Students later decided to hold ceremonies for Jewish High Holy Days on campus.
She continues to show support for the college saying: “Bard took a chance on me, and I would always be here for Bard.”
Audrey H. Regen passed away on May 30, 2017.https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/oral_hist/1031/thumbnail.jp
Stabilized Galerkin for transient advection of differential forms
No full textWe deal with the discretization of generalized transient advection problems for differential forms on bounded spatial domains. We pursue an Eulerian method of lines approach with explicit timestepping. Concerning spatial discretization we extend the jump stabilized Galerkin discretization proposed in [H. Heumann and R. Hiptmair, Stabilized Galerkin methods for magnetic advection, Math. Modelling Numer. Analysis, 47 (2013), pp. 1713{ 1732] to forms of any degree and, in particular, advection velocities that may have discontinuities resolved by the mesh. A rigorous a priori convergence theory is established for Lipschitz continuous velocities, conforming meshes and standard nite element spaces of discrete differential forms. However, numerical experiments furnish evidence of the good performance of the new method also in the presence of jumps of the advection velocity
