8vo, br. ed. 252pp. Quella del 1939 è un’estate felice per Esther Gutman. I primi amori, la scuola, il pattinaggio… La sua si direbbe un’ordinaria adolescenza a Lódz, la seconda città della Polonia, dove vive con i genitori e la sorella. Ma nel settembre dello stesso anno tutto cambia: con l’invasione nazista le condizioni per gli ebrei diventano sempre più dure. Così il padre, resosi conto che rimanere in città è diventato troppo rischioso, decide di raggiungere il fratello nel suo paese d’origine, Chmielnik. Qui, Esther conosce Ezjel Lederman, un giovane studente sionista dal carattere deciso e integerrimo. Tra loro nasce un’amicizia fatta di passeggiate nel ghetto e di lunghe chiacchierate alla ricerca di una normalità perduta, finché nell’ottobre del 1942 la situazione precipita. Il padre di Esther viene deportato in un campo di lavoro e anche Ezjel deve lasciarla: sta partendo insieme al fratello e ai genitori per rifugiarsi a casa degli Zal, una famiglia di cattolici polacchi. Un’informazione che le salverà la vita. Poco dopo, infatti, Esther decide di cercare aiuto proprio da loro, mentre la madre e la sorella vengono catturate dai nazisti. Non le rivedrà più. A oltre sessant’anni di distanza e dopo un matrimonio felice, Esther sente la necessità di rivivere in questo intenso memoir, arricchito dalle riflessioni del marito Ezjel, i ventidue mesi trascorsi nascosta nella fattoria degli Zal, fino alla liberazione da parte dell’Armata Rossa. E racconta poi di come insieme ai Lederman abbia trovato rifugio proprio in Germania per riuscire, infine, ad approdare avventurosamente negli Stati Uniti. Una storia di fuga e salvezza, narrata con lo sguardo limpido e pieno di speranza di una donna forte, capace di vedere la solidarietà e il coraggio anche in un tempo che non smette di atterrire per la sua tragicità.

8vo, br. ed. 264pp. Roma nel periodo delle leggi razziali. Come è possibile che Giulio Limentani, commediografo di successo, si trovi a seguire un proprio lavoro di scena in un teatro, nascosto in incognito in un angolo del loggione? E come riusciranno a vivere il loro amore i due quindicenni Colomba e Ferruccio, lei ebrea e lui figlio di un gerarca fascista? Infine un tragico dilemma: la classe dirigente ebraica di quegli anni è forse colpevole di aver sottovalutato il pericolo? E se è un figlio ad accusare di questa inadeguatezza il proprio padre?... Tre vicende diverse se pur collegate in cui Storia e Destino intrecciano il loro enigmatico gioco.

8vo, ril. ed. sovracoperta, pp. 670. (Supercoralli). Figlio unico di un commerciante ebreo, Kurt Gerron ha avuto una vita sensazionale: prima studente di medicina, poi attore e regista di fama, tra i più celebri protagonisti del cinema degli anni Venti. Ma la sua carriera è destinata a infrangersi sotto la scure delle leggi razziali: sospeso da ogni incarico, nel 1944 è deportato a Theresienstadt, il ghetto "modello" dietro cui i nazisti celarono a lungo la verità su campi di concentramento. Non solo la sua carriera, ma l'intera esistenza di Gerron sembra giunta alla fine. Finché non riceve un'inaspettata proposta: dirigere un film di propaganda che racconti all'Europa la vita di quella "città". Rifiutare significa morire, accettare vuol dire rendersi complice dei propri aguzzini. E lui accetta, sperando in una possibilità di salvezza. Gli undici giorni di riprese saranno l'occasione per ripercorrere il passato: la guerra, il matrimonio, e soprattutto la carriera, gli incontri - Brecht, Marlene Dietrich, Max Reinhardt -, i film. Fino al drammatico epilogo, assurdo eppure inevitabile: appena terminate le riprese Gerron sarà trasferito ad Auschwitz e ucciso.

8vo, 390pp. The straggly beard, the hooked nose, the bag of coins, and gaudy apparel - the religious artists of medieval Christendom had no shortage of virulent symbols for identifying Jews. Yet, hateful as these depictions were, the story they tell is not as simple as it first appears. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Lipton argues that these visual stereotypes were neither an inevitable outgrowth of Christian theology nor a simple reflection of medieval prejudices. Instead, she maps out the complex relationship between medieval Christians' religious ideas, social experience, and developing artistic practices that drove their depiction of Jews from benign, if exoticized, figures connoting ancient wisdom to increasingly vicious portrayals inspired by (and designed to provoke) fear and hostility. At the heart of this lushly illustrated and meticulously researched work are questions that have occupied scholars for ages-why did Jews becomes such powerful and poisonous symbols in medieval art? Why were Jews associated with certain objects, symbols, actions, and deficiencies? And what were the effects of such portrayals-not only in medieval society, but throughout Western history? What we find is that the image of the Jew in medieval art was not a portrait of actual neighbours or even imagined others, but a cloudy glass into which Christendom gazed to find a distorted, phantasmagoric rendering of itself.
8vo, hardcover in dj. This book proposes that the idea of the Jews in European cultures has little to do with actual Jews, but rather is derived from the conception of Jews as Christianity's paradigmatic Other, eternally reenacting their morally ambiguous New Testament role as the Christ-bearing and -killing chosen people of God. Through new readings of canonical Russian literary texts by Gogol, Turgenev, Chekhov, Babel, and others, the author argues that these European writers?Christian, secular, and Jewish?based their representation of Jews on the Christian exegetical tradition of anti-Judaism. Indeed, Livak disputes the classification of some Jewish writers as belonging to "Jewish literature," arguing that such an approach obscures these writers' debt to European literary traditions and their ambivalence about their Jewishness. This work seeks to move the study of Russian literature, and Russian-Jewish literature in particular, down a new path. It will stir up controversy around Christian-Jewish cultural interaction; the representation of otherness in European arts and folklore; modern Jewish experience; and Russian literature and culture. About the Author: Leonid Livak is Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, where he teaches at the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and in the Centre for Jewish Studies. He is the author of How It Was Done in Paris: Russian Émigré Literature and French Modernism (2003).

8vo, cloth in dj, pp.265. Two thousand years ago, 967 Jewish men, women, and children?the last holdouts of the revolt against Rome following the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple?reportedly took their own lives rather than surrender to the Roman army. This dramatic event, which took place on top of Masada, a barren and windswept mountain overlooking the Dead Sea, spawned a powerful story of Jewish resistance that came to symbolize the embattled modern State of Israel. The first extensive archaeological excavations of Masada began in the 1960s, and today the site draws visitors from around the world. And yet, because the mass suicide was recorded by only one ancient author?the Jewish historian Josephus?some scholars question if the event ever took place. Jodi Magness, an archaeologist who has excavated at Masada, explains what happened there, how we know it, and how recent developments might change understandings of the story. Incorporating the latest findings, she integrates literary and historical sources to show what life was like for Jews under Roman rule during an era that witnessed the reign of Herod and Jesus?s ministry and death. Featuring numerous illustrations, this is an engaging exploration of an ancient story that continues to grip the imagination today.

8vo, pp.174, ex-library with usual stamps and pate downs, otherwise good.In this fascinating work of autobiography, Margolius gives us her account of her early adult life in the Camps of Lodz and Auschwitz. After the war and back in Prague she and her husband joined the Communist Party. In doing so, they believed that socialism offered a genuine alternative to the injustice, racism and war of capitalism. Yet under the Soviet Stalinist version of socialism; their idealism was gradually undermined. Her husband was tried and executed in a party purge. The Prague Sping of 1968 gave her a brief hope that a genuine Democratic Socialist society might be possible. This hope was extinguished by the intervention of Soviet armed forces. This then is a remarkable work of hope in the face of horror and defeat. The book itself is in a good overall condition. It is aformer library copy. It therefore comes with the normal marks one would expect. DJ very good. Spine and covers all excellent.

8vo, hardcover in dj, 262pp. In Quarantine! Howard Markel traces the course of the typhus and cholera epidemics that swept through New York City in 1892. The story is told from the point of view of those involved?the public health doctors who diagnosed and treated the victims, the newspaper reporters who covered the stories, the government officials who established and enforced policy, and, most importantly, the immigrants themselves. Drawing on rarely cited stories from the Yiddish American press, immigrant diaries and letters, and official accounts, Markel follows the immigrants on their journey from a squalid and precarious existence in Russia's Pale of Settlement, to their passage in steerage, to New York's Lower East Side, to the city's quarantine islands. At a time of renewed anti-immigrant sentiment and newly emerging infectious diseases, Quarantine! provides a historical context for considering some of the significant problems that face American society today.
