Kagero Oficyna Wydawnicza Barbarossa Campaign in 1941: Hungarian
Book SynopsisIn this book, I would like to introduce to our readers the first major campaign of the Royal Hungarian Army fought against the Red Army in Ukraine from July until November of 1941. The Barbarossa campaign started 80 years ago, on 22 June 1941, pitting the forces of the Soviet Union against those of the Third Reich and its allies. Hungary was among the less willing allies who participated on the side of the Germans. On strategically level the Hungarian involvement during the first phase of the war against the Soviet Union was minimal. On the other hand, the Hungarian committed their most modern, partially motorized units; the Mobile Corps and the elite mountain jagers and border guard troops of the VIII Corps and the selected units of the Royal Hungarian Air Force. Through this lavishly illustrated book I wanted to show you what war meant for ordinary soldiers, civilians from the Hungarian perspective in 1941.

Wydawnictwo STRATUS, Artur Juszczak Supermarine Spitfire V: Polish Squadrons Over
Book SynopsisThis year marks the 80th anniversary of the Allied landing at Dieppe, France, on 19 August 1942, one of the most controversial battles of the Second World War, which also involved extensive air operations to provide direct support for the amphibious assault and to defend the troops and the fleet against the Luftwaffe.This book is a tribute to the 1st Polish Wing, Fighter Command’s most successful wing during the operation. The wing provided 10% of the Spitfire squadrons engaged in the battle, suffered 3.5% of losses and was credited by Fighter Command with 17% of all enemy aircraft destroyed. Nos. 303 and 317 Polish Squadrons were the top-scoring units that day. Notably, they achieved this while still flying the Spitfire V variant, while some Fighter Command squadrons already had the much improved Mk IX.Several hundred of carefully selected and extensively captioned images depict Spitfires of the five Polish squadrons, as well as the men who maintained and flew them in support of the Dieppe landings.Trade Review...another superlative addition to the Polish Wings series and is very much worth picking up and reading. * Modelling Madness 16/11/2022 *

Peeters Publishers By Fire into Light: Four Catholic Martyrs of the
Book SynopsisIn the Nazi concentration camps countless people were martyred as a result of hate and foolishness disguised as the honorable logic of progress and national security. For many of them this meant a spiritual journey into an abyss of grief and brutalization. Some of them remain inscribed in the common recollection of mankind as martyrs of their faith, a faith in God and in the dignity of man created to the image of God. In this book we find the description of the spiritual biography of four of them: the Jewish philosopher Edith Stein who entered a carmelite monastery, the carmelites Titus Brandsma and Jacques de Jesus, the deacon Karl Leisner ordained to the priesthood in Dachau: Jew, German, Frenchman and Dutchman. Their journey was heroic, but the fire of systematic destruction of their body gave room to the high flight of their humanity into the light of God's unconditional mercy.

Peeters Publishers Encountering God in the Abyss: Titus Brandsma's
Book SynopsisBorn on a Frisian farm, Titus Brandsma (1881-1942) entered the novitiate of the Carmelites in Boxmeer. On his journey he cultivated the spiritual garden of his cell in order to dwell in the face of his Creator. Becoming a scholar of philosophy and mysticism, Titus Brandsma was concentrated on the depths of human existence, but his contemplation gave him a broad view of reality and made him discover ever new horizons. Although a university professor, he was a productive journalist, engaged in questions of culture and education. Prophet of peace and justice, Brandsma defended from the beginning the Jews against Nazi ideology. During the German occupation of Holland he took a strong stand in favor of the freedom of the press. For him the dignity of the human person could never be sacrificed for ideological and political reasons. As a result he became a martyr in the concentration camp in Dachau.

Urim Publications After the Holocaust the Bells Still Ring
Book SynopsisWinner of:2015 National Jewish Book Award; Biography, Autobiography, and MemoirThis memoir is a fascinating portrait of mother and child who miraculously survive two concentration camps, then, after the war, battle demons of the past, societal rejection, disbelief, and invalidation as they struggle to reenter the world of the living. It is the tale of how one newly takes on the world, having lived in the midst of corpses strewn about in the scores of thousands, and how one can possibly resume life in the aftermath of such experiences. It is the story of the child who decides, upon growing up, that the only career that makes sense for him in light of these years of horror is to become someone sensitive to the deepest flaws of humanity, a teacher of God’s role in history amidst the traditions that attempt to understand it—and to become a rabbi. Readers will not emerge unscathed from this searing work, written by a distinguished, Boston-based rabbi and academic.Trade ReviewAfter the Holocaust the Bells Still Ring is a Winner! - Urim Publications is proud to announce that After the Holocaust the Bells Still Ring is the winner of the 2015 National Jewish Book Award in the category of Biography / Autobiography.Another book on the Holocaust? Yes and no; this book is about a different Holocaustthe one that survivors of concentration camps endured after April 1945. That is when survivors began to experience the horrific and persistent memories of what they had lived through, according to Joseph Polak, who entered the camps when he was just a toddler. - -Eleanor Ehrenkranz, Jewish Book CouncilAs one of the last witnesses to the Shoah, certainly one of the youngest, Joseph Polak has written a memoir that is an essential contribution to the body of Holocaust literature....This is a must read for anyone not afraid of grappling with the unfathomable. - Blu GreenbergJoseph Polak has written a memoir that begins where Anne Franks diary leaves off. We dont have many books like this one, books that tell what Hell was like for children who were too innocent to understand where they were, and too young to remember it clearly afterwards. So read this book and absorb what it has to say. And take some comfort from the fact that its author grew up to be a teacher of Torah and a counselor of young people on campus, hard as that is to comprehend. - Jack Reimer, South Florida Jewish JournalThe story is so fantastic that, as Polak himself says, it goes against what we know of the Holocaust and the concentration camps. Every page teaches the reader something new, in language that is fresh and original. - Alan Rosen, PhD"It is haunting and melancholic, unforgettable and poignant. Polak is a wonderful writer, proffering a terrifying truth while speculating about the wisdom of the Torah and the apparent absence of God." - Charles Weinblatt, NY Journal of Books"I have a thought about why this particular memoir, of all memoirs, deserves to be read, indeed, must be read. World-wide, Anne Frank is considered to be the authentic voice from within the Holocaust. Her diary is indeed precious and incredibly touching. And yet it ends with her deportation to Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen where she dies a gruesome death. That is not part of her diary. The reader is left in a void. From that same hideous place that claims her life emerges a little boy to continue the story. Joseph's voice originates from within Bergen-Belsen, and perhaps poses the questions and challenges to G-d that Anne might have posed, had she survived. His story and her story merge. These two youngsters from Holland, Anne forever a teenager, Joseph approaching the status of elder, provide a perspective of unusual insight from within the Holocaust, and from within survival. Surely Joseph's sensitive portrayal of this brief period of his life illustrates dramatically that for Jewish children, liberation was not particularly liberating. By reading this memoir and savoring its wisdom and lessons, perhaps we can assume a degree of [Joseph's] burden and confer meaning upon it by sharing its insights with our children and grandchildren." --Robert Krell, MD, professor emeritus, department of psychiatry, University of British Columbia"Joseph Polak's memoir is a unique document, riveting and unnerving. All Holocaust memoirs describe not only what happened but also the survivor's terrible search for bearings. But as one who survived the Holocaust at age two, Polak has nothing to grasp hold of. He is as skeptical of his own survival as we are. Polak's great contribution is exploring the Holocaust not by way of what he remembers but rather by way of what he has been told, read, and discovered. He then pieces together his remarkable story devoid of sentimentality--a distinguishing trait of the best memoirs. But Polak's is again unique in chronicling what he has been told of arrest, deportation, and camps together with the austere post-reunions and the more recent returns to the European sites. The story of his and his mother's postwar experiences actually traces the brutal legacy of the Holocaust itself. Finally, he interrogates his experience in unflinching terms, letting neither God nor man off the hook. Readers are generally interested in survival stories. In this case, they will want to see how it was possible for a toddler to survive what most adults could not. How did it happen? And how did he come to know about it? It has all the elements of a detective story and fantasy tale together. The story is so fantastic that, as Polak himself says, it goes against what we know of the Holocaust and the concentration camps. Every page teaches the reader something new, in language that is fresh and original." --Alan Rosen, PhD, author, The Wonder of their Voices"Joseph Polak is an outstanding writer. His memoir is an essential contribution to Holocaust literature . . . .This fast-paced, brief memoir reads like a novel. It is haunting and melancholic, unforgettable and poignant. Polak is a wonderful writer, proffering a terrifying truth while speculating about the wisdom of the Torah and the apparent absence of God." Charles Weinblatt, nyjournalofbooks.com"This book is about a different Holocaustthe one that survivors of concentration camps endured after April 1945.
