Little, Brown Spark The Berlin Shadow Living with the Ghosts of the
Book Synopsis A deeply moving memoir that confronts the defining trauma of the twentieth century, and its effects on a father and son. In 1939, Jonathan Lichtenstein's father Hans escaped Nazi-occupied Berlin as a child refugee on the Kindertransport. Almost every member of his family died after Kristallnacht, and, upon arriving in England to make his way in the world alone, Hans turned his back on his German Jewish culture. Growing up in post-war rural Wales where the conflict was never spoken of, Jonathan and his siblings were at a loss to understand their father's relentless drive and sometimes eccentric behavior. As Hans enters old age, he and Jonathan set out to retrace his journey back to Berlin. Written with tenderness and grace, The Berlin Shadow is a highly compelling story about time, trauma, family, and a father and son's attempt to emerge from the shadows of history.

Hill & Wang Night Memorial Edition
Book SynopsisA memorial edition of Elie Wiesel's seminal memoir of surviving the Nazi death camps, with tributes by President Obama and Samantha PowerWhen Elie Wiesel died in July 2016, the White House issued a memorial statement in which President Barack Obama called him the conscience of the world. The whole of the president's eloquent tribute serves as a foreword to this memorial edition of Night. Like millions of admirers, I first came to know Elie through his account of the horror he endured during the Holocaust simply because he was Jewish, wrote the president.In 1986, when Wiesel received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wrote, Elie Wiesel was rescued from the ashes of Auschwitz after storm and fire had ravaged his life. In time he realized that his life could have purpose: that he was to be a witness, the one who would pass on the account of what had happened so that the dead would not have died in vain and so the living could learn.

The University of Michigan Press Persecution and Rescue
Book SynopsisDrawing on German and French sources, Wolfgang Seibel traces the twisted process of political decision-making that shaped the fate of the Jews in German-occupied France during World War II. By analysing the German-French negotiations, he reveals the underlying logic as well as the actual course of the bargaining process as both the Vichy Regime and the Germans sought a stable relationship.Trade ReviewWhile I recommend this book to all students of the Holocaust in France, particularly political scientists, I also prescribe it for anyone who mistakenly believes that the wartime murder of Jews in France can be explained by simple explanations, or sweeping generalizations about French society and its attitudes toward the victims. For Wolfgang Seibel has an excellent appreciation of complexity of these events. With an expert social scientist's sense of shifting power relations among the actors, he provides a carefully balanced and morally sensitive assessment of wartime bargaining among German occupiers, French state collaborators, and bystanders such as the Catholic Church.”—Michael R. Marrus, Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor Emeritus of Holocaust Studies at the University of Toronto and co-author, with Robert O. Paxton, of Vichy France and the Jews""This book is a very detailed account based on all available archives, of the process that led to the persecution and deportation but also a deep questioning of the limits of the process : why were the deportations slowed down after the first wave of Summer 1942? Wolfgang Seibel studies the structure of persecution as his main focus of interest but he wants to break away from the traditional narrative of cumulative radicalisation provoked by a competition between agents/agencies. His technique of analysis is much more complex, questioning the a persecution apparatus often described as monolithic, the traditional differentiation between perpetrators, victims and bystanders and the question of actors’ rationality that should be considered in a whole repertoire, including a moral one. It is a must read book for any researchers or students of the Holocaust in France.”—Jean-Marc Dreyfus, The University of Manchester

Random House USA Inc Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust The First Original
Book SynopsisDerived by the author from interviews and oral histories, these eighty-nine original Hasidic tales about the Holocaust provide unprecedented witness, in a traditional idiom, to the victims' inner experience of 'unspeakable' suffering. This volume constitutes the first collection of original Hasidic tales to be published in a century.'An important work of scholarship and a sudden clear window onto the heretofore sealed world of the Hasidic reaction to the Holocaust. Its true stories and fanciful miracle tales are a profound and often poignant insight into the souls of those who suffered terribly at the hands of the Nazis and who managed somehow to use that very suffering as the raw material for their renewed lives.' -- Chaim Potok'A beautiful collection.' -- Saul Bellow'Yaffa Eliach provides us with stories that are wonderful and terrible -- true myths.

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Graphic History of Antisemitism
Book SynopsisThere are two groups of Jews in the world: the Jews who are no different than any other people and the Jews who are figments of imagination and defined by misleading stereotypes. The second group is the fantasy of the antisemite and they are the subject matter of this book. American and European antisemitism is seen through a rare and unique collection of postcards, letters, newspapers, advertisements, and cartoons captured in over 270 photos. The thought-provoking text explores the motives for creating these derogatory materials and the rationale for buying them. Although antisemitism is but one of many hateful and bigoted human beliefs, it stands alone as the most vicious; its existence is the longest of its kind in human history; and its consequences have been fatal for millions. Antisemitism is humankind at its worst. That hatred, in whatever form, makes victims of us all.

Northwestern University Press The Inability to Love Jews Gender and America in
Book SynopsisThe Inability to Love borrows its title from Alexander and Margarete Mitscherlich's 1967 landmark book The Inability to Mourn, which discussed German society's lack of psychological reckoning with the Holocaust. Challenging that notion, Agnes Mueller turns to recently published works by prominent contemporary German, non-Jewish writers to examine whether there has been a thorough engagement with German history and memory. She focuses on literature that invokes Jews, Israel, and the Holocaust. Mueller's aim is to shed light on pressing questions concerning German memories of the past, and on German images of Jews in Germany at a moment that is ideologically and historically fraught.

Random House USA Inc The Nuremberg Interviews An American
Book SynopsisDuring the Nuremberg trials, Leon Goldensohn—a U.S. Army psychiatrist—monitored the mental health of two dozen Germans leaders charged with carrying out genocide. These recorded conversations went largely unexamined for more than fifty years, until Robert Gellately—one of the premier historians of Nazi Germany—made them available to the public in this remarkable collection. Here are interviews with the likes of Hans Frank, Hermann Goering, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Joachim von Ribbentrop—the highest ranking Nazi officials in the Nuremberg jails. Here too are interviews with lesser-known officials essential to the inner workings of the Third Reich. Candid and often shockingly truthful, The Nuremberg Interviews is a profound addition to our understanding of the Nazi mind and mission.

Rowman & Littlefield A World Erased
Book SynopsisThis poignant memoir by Noah Lederman, the grandson of Holocaust survivors, transports readers from his grandparents' kitchen table in Brooklyn to World War II Poland. In the 1950s, Noah's grandparents raised their children on Holocaust stories. But because tales of rebellion and death camps gave his father and aunt constant nightmares, in Noah's adolescence Grandma would only recount the PG version. Noah, however, craved the uncensored truth and always felt one right question away from their pasts. But when Poppy died at the end of the millennium, it seemed the Holocaust stories died with him. In the years that followed, without the love of her life by her side, Grandma could do little more than mourn. After college, Noah, a travel writer, roamed the world for fifteen months with just one rule: avoid Poland. A few missteps in Europe, however, landed him in his grandparents' country. When he returned home, he cautiously told Grandma about his time in Warsaw, fearing that the past wouTrade ReviewAs a youth, Lederman was only vaguely aware of the history of his grandparents as Holocaust survivors. In Lederman’s close, loving extended family in America, questions to his grandparents on the topic were usually deflected. As an adult, a trip to Holocaust-related sites in eastern Europe triggered an intense interest in Lederman for his family’s experiences. His now-widowed grandmother, perhaps as a form of therapy, slowly but with vivid detail finally revealed her story, and the result is this harrowing and deeply shocking if sometimes uplifting account. This is a wide-ranging memoir, covering the vibrant, prewar Jewish life in Poland, the Nazi-imposed Jewish ghetto and subsequent extermination camps, the postwar confinement in displaced person camps, and the move to America. In passionate and sometimes hate- filled invective, his grandmother lashes out at her Nazi persecutors but also at many goyim, Poles whom she describes as viciously anti-Semitic. If there is a hero here, it is Lederman’s grandmother, who consistently displays remarkable courage and resilience in the face of horrible traumas. This is a vital contribution to Holocaust collections. -- Jay Freeman * Booklist *Noah Lederman . . . offers a compelling third-generation perspective on the Holocaust, the survivors, and their families. He craves the details about death camps and ghettos that gave his grandparents nightmares. Part travelogue into the Europe of former concentration camps and his grandparents’ native Poland, part quest for the ugly truths he was shielded from as a child, Lederman’s narrative opens with the death of his grandfather, and the urgent need to learn, delicately, from his grandmother what he can before her stories die with her. * The Philadelphia Inquirer *Have you ever read a memoir that you couldn't put down? They are rare, but I've found one: A World Erased.... Noah Lederman is an excellent writer, and not only shares family memories, but his journey to understand the lives of his grandparents—what they survived during the Holocaust—and how that affected the rest of their lives. It is powerful, moving, and I have never read a memoir that held my attention so much that I couldn't sleep; turning out the light at 6am when the sun was rising, as I turned the last page, I felt bereft at finishing, awe at Lederman's words and story, and love for his family.... Highly recommended. * Wandering Educators *In A World Erased, author Noah Lederman seeks to find for himself the stories of his survivor grandparents who are reluctant to tell him anything but the most gentle versions of what occurred. After a fact-finding trip to Europe, what transpires unlocks the full narrative: the unrelenting horror during that period but also the extreme resilience which gives the author a whole new context to his family. * Southern Jewish Life Magazine *Lederman makes us both laugh and cry as we read, and this may very well be the Holocaust book of the year. * Reviews by Amos Lassen *Lederman’s dogged persistence in getting his grandparents to recount their memories of the Holocaust pays off brilliantly. In A World Erased, he rescues their stories—and the stories of so many who survived, and so many who didn’t—and turns their experiences during the Holocaust into an enduring monument for his own generation and those to follow. -- Wayne Hoffman, executive director, Tablet Magazine, and author of Sweet Like Sugar and An Older ManNoah Lederman’s superbly written memoir has the emotional impact of a great novel but resonates with the truth of his own experience as the grandson of Holocaust survivors. It’s the story of a young man coming to terms with familial memory as he travels the world and finds his own place in it. This is a moving and important book. -- Phyllis T. Smith, Author of I Am LiviaA World Erased is a book of dark tales that is suffused with tenderness on every page. As the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles, Lederman's journey of remembrance makes for urgent reading. -- Sam Apple, author of Schlepping through the AlpsThis gripping book traces the evolution of a young man's quest to uncover the stories of his grandparents’ harrowing past—a riveting journey through repressed memory, unspeakable trauma, and the landmarks of European genocide that lead the author to a fresh understanding of his family's wartime past and his own identity. A determined historian, dogged sleuth, and gifted storyteller, Lederman flecks his memoir with black humor and refreshing candor, illuminating how the horrors of the Holocaust are transmitted through the generations. -- Andrew Jacobs, director of Four Seasons LodgeTable of ContentsChapter 1 The Holocaust through Nightmares Chapter 2 Super Poppy and the Meshugge Grandma Chapter 3 The Hospital Chapter 4 Keys to the Holocaust Vault Chapter 5 Adrift Chapter 6 Death in the Czech Republic Chapter 7 The E-mail Chapter 8 Otwock Chapter 9 From Night to Dawn Chapter 10 Peering into the Vault Chapter 11 The Tapes Chapter 12 Panama Chapter 13 Escape from Warsaw Chapter 14 Revision Chapter 15 A Box of Photos Chapter 16 The Four Questions Chapter 17 Israel Chapter 18 Research at Yad Vashem Chapter 19 Poisonous DNA Chapter 20 The Boy at the Gates of Warsaw Chapter 21 Lightning Lad Chapter 22 Escape from Treblinka Chapter 23 The Liquidation Chapter 24 Grandma’s Determination Chapter 25 Get Well Soon Chapter 26 The Bronze Arm Chapter 27 Bergen-Belsen Chapter 28 Better and You Better Chapter 29 Umschlagplatz Chapter 30 The Mystery Camp Chapter 31 A Return to the Camps Chapter 32 Majdanek Chapter 33 Birkenau Chapter 34 Auschwitz Chapter 35 The Buna Chapter 36 Liberation Chapter 37 In Search of New Beginnings Epilogue Acknowledgments Sources About the Author

Book SynopsisOn 6 November 1942 70 captured Red Army soldiers staged an extraordinary mass escape from Auschwitz. Among these men was prisoner number 1418 Andrey Pogozhev. He survived, and this is his story. Pogozhev was caught by the Germans in 1941 and was sent to Auschwitz. The fact that Pogozhev survived the appalling conditions in the camp is remarkable in itself. That he should also have taken part in one of the few successful escapes makes his gripping narrative rare indeed. His description of the escape and his subsequent journey as a fugitive to the east, through the Carpathian mountains into the Ukraine, is unforgettable reading.

Book SynopsisIn examining one of the defining events of the twentieth century, Doris L. Bergen situates the Holocaust in its historical, political, social, cultural, and military contexts. Unlike many other treatments of the Holocaust, this revised, third edition discusses not only the persecution of the Jews, but also other segments of society victimized by the Nazis: Roma, homosexuals, Poles, Soviet POWs, the disabled, and other groups deemed undesirable. In clear and eloquent prose, Bergen explores the two interconnected goals that drove the Nazi German program of conquest and genocidepurification of the so-called Aryan race and expansion of its living spaceand discusses how these goals affected the course of World War II. Including firsthand accounts from perpetrators, victims, and eyewitnesses, her book is immediate, human, and eminently readable.

Vehicule Press The Veiled Sun: From Auschwitz to New Beginnings
Book SynopsisA Holocaust memoir from Paul Schaffer, who survived Auschwitz to become a successful industrialist, honored by the country of FranceBy the age of 14, Paul Shaffer had received a comprehensive education in Vienna. He spent his teenage years, first on the run from the Nazis in Belgium and France, and then in Auschwitz from 1942 to 1945, and survived to become a successful industrialist who was honored by the government of France. The carefully chosen vignettes and descriptions in this Holocaust memoir provide insights into a middle-class Jewish childhood in prewar Vienna, attitudes to Jewish refugees in Vichy France, arrest and detention in France, survival in Auschwitz, and the return to postwar France to face the challenges of reintegration into French society. With photos of the author in the Siemens factory where he worked as an inmate, this emotional memoir is an attempt to comprehend those events and examine the range of human behavior he himself witnessed. Shaffer’s account was written with students in mind, and consequently deliberately omits detailed descriptions of the most horrifying aspects of life as a concentration camp inmate.

She is unquestionably one of the most singular voices from the Holocaust. But most in our country have never heard of her. So, who was Etty Hillesum? She was a Dutch Jew who died at the age of 29, leaving behind deeply moving, intellectually profound diaries and letters written during the last two years of her life under Nazi occupation. We only have these works because she threw them from a train on her way to the death camp. This volume is their visionary responses to Etty Hillesum.
