Children During the Holocaust

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Heberer, Patricia / Tec, Nechama / Browning, Christopher R., PUBLISHER: Altamira Press, Children during the Holocaust, from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, tells the story of the Holocaust through the eyes, and fates, of its youngest victims. The ten chapters follow the arc of the persecutory policies of the Nazis and their sympathizers and the impact these measures had on Jewish children and adolescents-from the years leading to the war, to the roundups, deportations, and emigrations, to hidden life and death in the ghettos and concentration camps, and to liberation and coping in the wake of war. This volume examines the reactions of children to discrimination, the loss of livelihood in Jewish homes, and the public humiliation at the hands of fellow citizens and explores the ways in which children's experiences paralleled and diverged from their adult counterparts. Additional chapters reflect upon the role of non-Jewish children as victims, perpetrators, and bystanders during World War II. Offering a collection of personal letters, diaries, court testimonies, government documents, military reports, speeches, newspapers, photographs, and artwork, Children during the Holocaust highlights the diversity of children's experiences during the nightmare years of the Holocaust.

Holocaust Chronicles: Individualizing the Holocaust Through

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shapiro, Robert M., PUBLISHER: Ktav Publishing House, The huge number of victims of the Holocaust is emotionally incomprehensible. The real horror can only be apprehended on the individual level. In the case of the Holocaust, many such records exist, since, as Ruth Wisse has observed, "many of the Jews in the ghettos and concentration camps... showed more concern for preserving a record of the incredible event they were witnessing than for their own survival." The studies presented in this volume survey this evidence--diaries, letters, oral histories, ghetto chronicles, rabbinic works, collections of photographs, songs--that originated in Warsaw, Lodz, Vilna, Auschwitz, and elsewhere. Together these documents allow us to gain some inkling of the experience of those who suffered in the ghettos and concentration camps--without the coloration and rethinkings of later recollections.

A groundbreaking exploration of personal history in the tradition of Art piegelman's "Maus," "I Was a Child of Holocaust Survivors" is a searingly honest and deeply moving work that speaks to the universality of memory and loss.

The Future of the Holocaust: Between History and Memory

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lang, Berel, PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, In The Future of the Holocaust, Berel Lang continues his inquiry into the causal mechanisms of decision-making and conduct in Nazi Germany and into responses to the genocide by individuals and nations -- an inquiry that he began in Act and Idea in the Nazi Genocide and pursued in Heidegger's Silence. Raising the question now of what the future of the Holocaust is, he addresses among other topics how history and memory together shape views of the Holocaust; how the concept of "intention" -- which played a crucial part in the events of haft a century ago -- shapes history and memory themselves; and how future views of this genocide may alter those of today. In addition, Lang explores cultural representations of the "Final Solution" -- from monuments to public school curricula -- within the Jewish and German communities. He analyzes ethical issues concerning such concepts as intention, responsibility, forgiveness, and revenge, and puts forward a theory of the history, of evil which provides a context for the Holocaust both historically and morally. Addressing the claims that the Nazi genocide was unique, Lang argues that the Holocaust is at once an actual series of events and a still future possibility. If the Holocaust occurred once, he argues, it can occur twice -- and this view of the future remains an unavoidable premise for anyone now writing or thinking about that event in the past.

Beyond Lament: Poets of the World Bearing Witness to the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Striar, Marguerite M., PUBLISHER: Northwestern University Press, Challenging Theodor Adorno's famous statement that "writing poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric", Beyond Lament is a rich and varied anthology consisting of new and previously published poems about the atrocity of the Holocaust. While writing poetry about the Holocaust may be considered by some to be a futile attempt to express the inexpressible, for many the need to give voice to the anger and despair of the Holocaust is as essential as the need to come to grips with its unspeakable horror. Editor Marguerite M. Striar has arranged the nearly 300 poems in this volume to tell the story beginning with the early premonitions of Nazi evil in , through the course of the unthinkable violence that ended in with Hitler's demise, to the flourishing of concern for human rights in the aftermath of the Holocaust. These works -- by well-known poets such as Paul Celan, Nelly Sachs, Czeslaw Milosz, Dannie Abse, and Robert Pinsky, as well as by many lesser-known or unknown poets -- show how poetry makes history memorable, confirm the resilience of the human spirit, and prove that even in the face of great suffering, the flame of creation will not be extinguished.

Reading the Hebrew Bible After the Shoah: Engaging Holocaust

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sweeney, Marvin A., PUBLISHER: Fortress Press, Is theology possible after the Shoah? Marvin Sweeney challenges biblical theologians to take that question with utmost seriousness. Sweeney examines often ignored biblical texts where ancient Israel contemplated the problem of apparent divine absence and "divine evil," and finds the perspective of post-Holocaust theology an indispensable interpretive resource. In biblical stories like those of Abraham, Moses, Jeroboam, Manasseh, Josiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Esther, Job, and more, Sweeney finds the recognition "that human beings cannot always depend upon God to act to ensure righteousness in the world." The insistence, common among Holocaust theologians, that human beings must assume their own responsibility for doing justice and righteousness in the world is, Sweeney argues, powerfully present already in the Bible itself. This book is an important contribution to modern biblical theology and to Holocaust theology as well.

Ambiguous Relations: The American Jewish Community and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shafir, Shlomo, PUBLISHER: Wayne State University Press, This monograph, based on extensive research in many archival collections in the United States, Germany, and lsrael, focuses on the time period from the end of World War II until and deals with the American Jewish community's ambiguous attitude towards Germany since the Holocaust years. Examining the community's early intercessions with the American administration and its impact on American public opinion and on the West German government, this study develops a picture of ambiguity and denial in a pivotal time in American Jewry. Rationales and strategies of major Jewish organizations are discussed as well as the subsequent rise of Holocaust consciousness and the role of the survivors effect on the tension between special Jewish interests and American national interest.

Unfortunately, he's his own worst enemy. Obsessions with Evel Knievel, rock band KISS, and a complex addiction to traveling the globe to find the girl of his dreams set him and his quest for happiness on a hapless course.

A tender, moving portrait emerges of a man whose passionate creative spirit refuses to be suppressed. A swift kick to the funny bone, "The Bohemian Love Diaries" and its laugh-out-loud perversity conjure Jonathan Ames and Augusten Burroughs with a cutting edge that will make you think that Slash was raised in Chuck Palahniuk's attic by John Hodgman.
