My brother Marcus Stanley was an assistant professor of economics at
Case Western. Now he is a staff economist for the Joint Economic Committee.
My father, Manfred Stanley, was a professor in the Department of
Sociology at Syracuse University. This is a
very brief address I gave at Syracuse University's memorial service for
him
in December, 2004, about his work. Here
are
some pictures of him as a child in Berlin.
This
is a very brief description of an episode of the show This is Your Life, with Ralph
Edwards, featuring my grandmother, Ilse Stanley. She is also author of
the book, The
Unforgotten
(Beacon Press, 1957), and
appears in the movie Metropolis.
Here
is the synagogue in Berlin where my great-grandfather, Magnus
Davidsohn, was the chief Cantor for many years. Here
is a CD that contains some songs sung by him; the page also
contains a brief clip of him singing the Psalm von
Lewandowsky. There are a number of books that discuss him, some
using the Christian name he used
as an opera singer, Magnus Dawison
(e.g. Chapter 6 of this
volume of Henry-Louis De la Grange's biography of Gustav Mahler).
