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.

Book SynopsisA Holocaust survivor's surprising and thought-provoking study of forgiveness, justice, compassion, and human responsibility, featuring contributions from the Dalai Lama, Harry Wu, Cynthia Ozick, Primo Levi, and more.You are a prisoner in a concentration camp. A dying Nazi soldier asks for your forgiveness. What would you do?While imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, Simon Wiesenthal was taken one day from his work detail to the bedside of a dying member of the SS. Haunted by the crimes in which he had participated, the soldier wanted to confess to--and obtain absolution from--a Jew. Faced with the choice between compassion and justice, silence and truth, Wiesenthal said nothing. But even years after the way had ended, he wondered: Had he done the right thing? What would you have done in his place?In this important book, fifty-three distinguished men and women respond to Wiesenthal's questions. They are theologians, political

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.

Beacon Press Mans Search for Meaning
Book SynopsisThe bestselling Holocaust memoir about finding purpose and strength in times of despair?selected as a Library of Congress ?10 Most Influential Books in America?This stunning gift edition of ?one of the great books of our time? (Harold S. Kushner) features new photos, end papers, and Frankl?s never-before-published speeches and letters.Hailed as ?an enduring work of survival literature? by the New York Times, Viktor Frankl?s account of his time in the Nazi concentration camps?and his insights into our ability to find meaning despite great adversity?has offered solace and guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946. 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? (Carl Rogers) and offers inspiration for coping with suffering and finding your purpose.

Readers interested in an introduction to the many issues involved can do no better than to begin with this revised edition." – Paul Hanebrink, Rutgers University"This is a book that should be read and understood by the widest possible readership Clearly, it belongs on the shelves of serious Holocaust scholars and should also find an important niche in college level courses on the Holocaust and/or Jewish History . . . magnificent work." – Dr. Abraham J. Edelheit, assistant professor of History at Kingsborough Community College of the City University of New York."Professor Braham's The Politics of Genocide, is the most comprehensive and meticulously researched book in the literature of the Holocaust in general and Hungary in particular. . . . the standard and unsurpassed account of the destruction of Hungarian Jewry." – Bernard Klein, Kingsborough Community College, City University of New York"[T]his book will bring the history of the Holocaust in Hungary to a wide range of readers: scholars, teachers, undergraduates and graduate students. It is an abridgment of a monumental work and the remainder presents itself as a simply smaller monument." — Sidney Bolkosky, University of Michigan-Dearborn"The earlier majestic editions of The Politics of Genocide provided the English-speaking public with vivid and accurate information on European Jewry's ultimate tragedy, the Holocaust in Hungary, which took place lass than a year before the end of World War II. The book's Hungarian version caused a nation-wide re-thinking of the role Hungarians had played in that event. This abbreviated version should be read by students, scholars, and all those concerned with genocide at any time and in any country." – Istvan Deak, Columbia University
