The Holocaust Books
White Goat Press In the Land of the Postscript: The Complete Short Stories of Chava Rosenfarb
Book SynopsisWith the addition of two stories, namely, ""The Masterpiece"", ""April 19th"" and ""Letters to God"", this collection makes available in English for the first time a complete selection of Chava Rosenfarb's short stories all in one place. All the stories in this collection deal with the afterlife of Holocaust survivors in North America. Since Chava Rosenfarb was herself a Holocaust survivor who settled in Montreal after the war, she speaks in these stories from personal experience at the same time as she allows her imagination to inhabit the minds of characters far different from herself.

HarperCollins Violins of Hope
Trade Review"Grymes traces the beautiful and haunting history of violins played by Jews in the Holocaust. ... The accounts are unembellished, with plain, yarn-spinning language. They breathe new life into history." -- Publishers Weekly "Violins of Hope is a work of research and scholarship that forms one of the most moving chronicles in the history of Western music. James A. Grymes has earned our plaudits and praise, and deserves our everlasting gratitude." -- John Williams, Oscar-winning composer of the score for Schindler's List "The cruelties of the Third Reich have been well-documented in countless Holocaust studies. This report contemplates the crimes of the Nazis from a special point of view. A special Holocaust study of the unique link that violins, klezmer or classical, have continuously had with the Jewish spirit." -- Kirkus Reviews "When you think of 'music history,' you probably think of something dry, cold, and unemotional. Music historian James A. Grymes will change your mind with his book, which focuses on violins during the time of the Holocaust, and how they inspired comfort, hope, and perseverance." -- Westchester Magazine

Oxford University Press Inc When Light Pierced the Darkness
Book SynopsisNechama Tec''s incisive account of the rescue of Jews by Christians in Nazi-occupied Poland draws heavily on her own childhood experiences. Her in-depth study - the first of its kind - contrasts the attitudes and behaviour of altruistic helpers, and paid rescuers. She discovers a fascinating pattern, in which altruistic Christians applied their customary practise of helping the needy, without regard for their own safety, whereas paid rescuers acted with the motive of removing the Jews and the danger they represented to Poland. This is a deeply affecting book, which deals squarely with the ingrained anti-Semitism in Polish society, yet pays tribute to the extraordinary risks taken by Polish people on behalf of their Jewish compatriots.Trade Review`A book that is a long overdue and valuable contribution to both Holocaust history and the study of human nature.'

Book SynopsisA collection of Langer's essays which represent his efforts to see the Holocaust as it really was.

Oxford University Press Crossing Hitler
Book SynopsisCrossing Hitler is a biography of the German trial lawyer Hans Litten (1903-1938), who dedicated his brief career to an uncompromising struggle against Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, and suffered accordingly in Hitler''s concentration camps. Through the prism of this one remarkable advocate, the book explores the rise of the Nazis, the vibrant criminal courts of the Weimar Republic, and the terror of Nazi rule in Germany after 1933. During the trial of four Nazi paratroopers in 1931, Litten grilled Hitler in a merciless three-hour examination, forcing Hitler into multiple contradictions and evasions and finally reducing him to helpless and humiliating rage. Two years later Hitler was in power, and Litten was sent to the concentration camps of the Third Reich, where he worked on translations of medieval German poetry and operated as a one-man university. After five years of torture and hard labor, Litten gave up hope of survival, and took his own life 1938.

Oxford University Press Writing the Holocaust Identity Testimony Representation
Book SynopsisArguing against the prevailing view that Holocaust survivors (encouraged by a new and flourishing culture of ''witnessing'') have come forward only recently to tell their stories,Writing the Holocaust examines the full history of Holocaust testimony, from the first chroniclers confined to Nazi-enforced ghettos to today''s survivors writing as part of collective memory. Zoë Waxman shows how the conditions and motivations for bearing witness changed immeasurably. She reveals the multiplicity of Holocaust experiences, the historically contingent nature of victims'' responses, and the extent to which their identities - secular or religious, male or female, East or West European - affected not only what they observed but also how they have written about their experiences. In particular, she demonstrates that what survivors remember is substantially determined by the context in which they are remembering.Trade ReviewWriting the Holocaust represents an important contribution to the field of Holocaust studies. * Andrea Reiter, Mortality *a wonderful introduction to Holocaust literature, especially early Holocaust literature; and it is an informed and intelligent discussion, for even the most advanced students of the Holocaust, of the role of literature in shaping our understanding of the Shoah, and understanding the lives and destinies of those victims who did and did not survive (survivors were also victims). * Michael Berenbaum, Journal of Genocide Research *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; 1.

Oxford University Press Model Nazi
Book SynopsisModel Nazi tells the story of Arthur Greiser, the man who initiated the Final Solution in Nazi-occupied Poland. Between 1939 and 1945, Greiser was the territorial leader of the Warthegau, an area of western Poland annexed to Nazi Germany. In an effort to make the Warthegau ''German,'' Greiser introduced numerous cruel policies. He spearheaded an influx of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Germans. He segregated Germans from Poles, and introduced wide-ranging discriminatory measures against the Polish population. He refashioned the urban and natural landscape to make it ''German.'' And even more chillingly, the first and longest standing ghetto, the largest forced labour program, and the first mass gassings of Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe were all initiated under Greiser''s jurisdiction. Who was the man behind these dreadful policies? Catherine Epstein gives us a compelling biographical portrait of Greiser the man: his birth in the German-Polish borderlands, his rise to Nazi prominence inTrade Review[an] authoritatively sourced and minutely examined study * John P.

Oxford University Press Approaching an Auschwitz Survivor
Book SynopsisAmong sources on the Holocaust, survivor testimonies are the least replaceable and most complex, reflecting both the personality of the narrator and the conditions and perceptions prevailing at the time of narration. Scholars, despite their aim to challenge memory and fill its gaps, often use testimonies uncritically or selectively-mining them to support generalizations. This book represents a departure, bringing Holocaust experts Atina Grossmann, Konrad Kwiet, Wendy Lower, Jürgen Matthäus, and Nechama Tec together to analyze the testimony of one Holocaust survivor. Born in Bratislava at the end of World War I, Helen Zippi Spitzer Tichauer was sent to Auschwitz in 1942. One of the few early arrivals to survive the camp and the death marches, she met her future husband in a DP camp, and they moved to New York in the 1960s. Beginning in 1946, Zippi devoted many hours to talking with a small group of scholars about her life. Her wide-ranging interviews are uniquely suited to raise questioTrade ReviewShould be read by all who produce and consume writings and arts about the Holocaust. * CHOICE *Table of ContentsForeword ; Mark Roseman ; Introduction: What Does it Mean?

Oxford University Press The Wonder of Their Voices
Book SynopsisOver the last several decades, video testimony with aging Holocaust survivors has brought these witnesses into the limelight. Yet the success of these projects has made it seem that little survivor testimony took place in earlier years. In truth, thousands of survivors began to recount their experience at the earliest opportunity. This book provides the first full-length case study of early postwar Holocaust testimony, focusing on David Boder''s 1946 displaced persons interview project. In July 1946, Boder, a psychologist, traveled to Europe to interview victims of the Holocaust who were in the Displaced Persons (DP) camps and what he called shelter houses. During his nine weeks in Europe, Boder carried out approximately 130 interviews in nine languages and recorded them on a wire recorder. Likely the earliest audio recorded testimony of Holocaust survivors, the interviews are valuable today for the spoken word (that of the DP narrators and of Boder himself) and also for the song sessiTrade ReviewIn its close examination of Boders unique project, Rosens book becomes the first full-length case study of early Holocaust testimony, and firmly calls into question long-held characterizations of Holocaust testimony as belated rather than immediate. * Holli Levitsky, Holocaust and Genocide Studies *a beautifully written, thought-provoking account of the interview project. * Nicholas Chare, Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Boder's Happy Idea ; Chapter 1: I Could Not Help But Wonder: On Boder's Biography and the Idea of Testimony ; Chapter 2: Summer, 1946, Part I: The European Expedition and the Ethnography of Testimony ; Chapter 3: Summer, 1946 Part II: The Expansion of Testimony ; Chapter 4: From Listening to Reading: Publishing the Interviews ; Chapter 5: The Wonder of Their Voices: Testimony, Technology and Wire Recorded Narratives ; Chapter 6: Making a Study of These Things: Boder's Interviews in the Context of Psychology ; Chapter 7: In Divergent Tongues and Dialects: Multilingual Interviews and Literary Experiments ; Epilogue: Rewriting the History of Holocaust Testimony ; Appendix I: Chronology of Interviews: July 29-October 4, 1946 ; Appendix II: The Disputed Number of Boder Interviews ; Appendix III: Topical Autobiographies of Displaced People: Volumes I through XVI ; Notes ; Bibliographic Note ; Index

Lexington Books After the Girls Club
Book SynopsisAfter World War II, the Girls Club of Brooklyn, New York, became both home and safe haven to orphaned teenagers who were Holocaust survivors. They are a small group, but taken together these women''s stories represent the broad range of experiences that most Jews suffered during and after the Holocaust. Some endured the ghettos and camps. Some survived in hiding, with partisans, or in the remote far-eastern reaches of the Soviet Union. Consequently this collective, personal history-enriched with relevant information about places, people, events and issues-tells not only their story, but also the story of tens of thousands of child survivors. The work of scholars from various disciplines and genres provides background information and historical detail as this book traces the women''s experiences from their childhood days in pre-war Europe to the present. Contrary to what early literature on child survivors predicted, they built successful lives in America.Trade ReviewCarole Ford's sensitive profile of young Holocaust survivors whose lives intertwine at the Girls' Club in Brooklyn sheds light on the challenges of forging a new life alone. The Club gave them opportunities for friendship, education and enabled them to rebuild their lives. Theirs are compelling narratives, told with compassion and grace. As we get to know them, we also find that we like them and celebrate their joys as they become wives and mothers, housewives, students, professionals, community volunteers, and very doting grandmothers. Despite their horrific experiences in Nazi occupied Poland, most of them refused to be victimized further and instead overcame the odds and led fulfilling and happy lives." -- Myrna Goldenberg, coauthor of Testimony, Tensions, and Tikkun: Teaching the Holocaust in Colleges and UniversitiesCarole Bell Ford gets at and renders with clarity and sensitivity the life histories of a fascinating group of young female Holocaust survivors. These histories are complex, filled with irony, ambiguity and compassion —in short, humanity. Without extraneous academic apparatus, and without falling into the trap of seeing horrific experience as somehow making its victims 'better for it,' Ford and her interlocutors tell us something very important, and yes, even hopeful about human resilience. -- Gerald Sorin, Distinguished Professor of Jewish and American Studies State University of New York at New PaltzTable of Contents1 A Meeting with Holocaust Survivors 2 Table of Contents 3 Preface and Acknowledgements Chapter 4 1.

Beacon Press Mans Search for Meaning
Book SynopsisWe needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life-daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.When Man''s Search for Meaning was first published in 1959, it was hailed by Carl Rogers as one of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought in the last fifty years. Now, more than forty years and 4 million copies later, this tribute to hope in the face of unimaginable loss has emerged as a true classic. Man''s Search for Meaning--at once a memoir, a self-help book, and a psychology manual-is the story of psychiatrist Viktor Frankl''s struggle for survival during his three years in Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps. Yet rather than a tale concerned with the great horrors, Frankl focuses in on the hard fight for existence waged by the great army of unknown and unrecorded. Viktor Frankl''s training as a psychiatrist allowed him a remarkable perspective on the psychology of survival. In these inspired pages, he asserts that the the will to meaning is the basic motivation for human life. This simple and yet profound statement became the basis of his psychological theory, logotherapy, and forever changed the way we understand our humanity in the face of suffering. As Nietzsche put it, He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how. Frankl''s seminal work offers us all an avenue to greater meaning and purpose in our own lives-a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the act of living.

This stunning hardcover gift edition features previously unpublished material?including letters, speeches, essays, and an 8-page photo insert?that reveal Frankl?s enduring lessons on perseverance and strength in even greater depth.At the heart of Frankl?s theory of logotherapy (from the Greek word for ?meaning?) is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but rather the discovery and pursuit of what the individual finds meaningful. Today, as new generations face new challenges and an ever more complex and uncertain world, Frankl?s classic work continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living, in spite of all obstacles.With more than 16 million copies sold in over 50 languages, this timeless masterpiece is ?one of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought?
