8vo, pp.303. Quando i tedeschi occupano la Boemia e la Moravia, nel marzo 1939, Zdenka Fantlová ha 17 anni. Nonostante le discriminazioni che i nazisti impongono da subito agli ebrei, cerca di vivere normalmente la sua vita. Fino a quando il padre viene deportato a Buchenwald: Zdenka non lo rivedrà più. Nel 1942 viene deportata, insieme alla famiglia e al fidanzato Arno, a Terezín, un campo di concentramento a nord-ovest di Praga. Mentre Arno viene spedito in un campo a est, Zdenka vi rimane fino al 1944, quando viene «trasferita» ad Auschwitz: lei e la sorella Lydia sopravvivono alle selezioni, la madre no. Ma a questo punto le sorti della guerra si sono ribaltate, i russi incalzano e cominciano le terribili «marce della morte» verso ovest. Zdenka e Lydia transitano così da Kurzbach e poi dal famigerato campo di Gross-Rosen. E poi sono di nuovo «spostate» a Mauthausen e infine a Bergen-Belsen. Qui, dopo la morte della sorella, Zdenka viene infine liberata dagli inglesi, unica sopravvissuta della sua famiglia. Oggi, a 95 anni, Zdenka è impegnata a portare la sua testimonianza in giro per il mondo, perché tutto ciò che lei ha vissuto non sia dimenticato.

8vo, cloth in dj. Translated by Leon J. Weinberger with Dena Ordan This slender anonymous work, spanning 1389 to 1611, presents the priorities and concerns of a Jewish community straddling the late medieval and early modern periods. Ample footnotes and explanations provide the lay reader with sufficient background to understand the references to historical events and figures, to ideologies and to institutions. A comprehensive introduction presents the realities of Prague and Bohemia, as well as offering a helpful discussion of the chronicle and other contemporary Jewish accounts. Conservative Jewish Quarterly In about 1615 an anonymous Jew from Prague composed a short Hebrew chronicle to recount 'the expulsions, miracles, and other occurrences befalling [the Jews] in Prague and the other lands of our long exile.' Abraham David discovered the manuscript [and] added glosses, historical notes, and an introduction. . . . The chronicle, with its brief annual entries, is not a continuous narrative, but does give a feeling of immediacy, like a newspaper. Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry.

8vo, br, ed, 372pp. This book presents for the first time the complete text of the earliest known Ladino-language memoir, transliterated from the original script, translated into English, and introduced and explicated by the editors. The memoirist, Sa'adi Besalel a-Levi (1820-1903), wrote about Ottoman Jews' daily life at a time when the finely wrought fabric of Ottoman society was just beginning to unravel. His vivid portrayal of life in Salonica, a major port in the Ottoman Levant with a majority Jewish population, thus provides a unique window into a way of life before it disappeared as a result of profound political and social changes and the World Wars. Sa'adi was a prominent journalist and publisher, one of the most significant creators of modern Sephardic print culture. He was also a rebel who accused the Jewish leadership of Salonica of being corrupt, abusive, and fanatical; that leadership, in turn, excommunicated him from the Jewish community. The experience of excommunication pervades Sa'adi's memoir, which documents a world that its author was himself actively involved in changing.

SS. ~ A revealing, startling, and provocative look at the world war ii ties between American and German intelligence. Alliance Of Enemies tells the thrilling history of the secret World War II relationship between Nazi Germany's espionage service, the Abwehr, and the American OSS, predecessor of the CIA. The actors in this great, as~yet~untold story were often at odds with their respective governments. Working in the face of competing ideologies and at great personal risk, these unorthodox collaborators struggled to bring about an early peace. By mining secret World War II files that were only recently declassified, as well as personal interviews, diaries, and previously unpublished accounts to unearth some of history's surprises, Agostino von Hassell and Sigrid MacRae shed new light on Franklin Roosevelt's surprising stance toward Hitler before the United States entered the war and on the relationship of American business to the Third Reich. They offer details on the German resistance's desperate efforts to at first avert war and then to make common cause with enemy representatives to end it. And their work details the scope and depth of the German resistance and its many plots to eliminate Hitler and why it failed. New names and incredible wartime plots reveal the titanic power struggles that took place in Istanbul and Lisbon ~ cities crawling with spies. Intense, clandestine communications and spy rings come clear, as do the self~serving neutrality of Switzerland and Portugal and the shocking postwar scramble for German spies, scientists, and more, all to aid in the fight against a new enemy: communism. Alliance of Enemies fills a huge void in our knowledge of the hidden, layered warfare~and the attempts for peace ~ of World War II. It will fascinate and excite historians, spy and policy enthusiasts, and anyone concerned with the uses of intelligence in trying times. Nowhere has such a complete and provocative history of the wars behind World War II been told~until now. Ex-Library
University of Illinois Press, United States, 2008. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. This is the first published edition of the diary of Abraham Plotkin, an American labor leader of immigrant Jewish origin who lived in Berlin between November 1932 and May 1933. A firsthand account of the Weimar Republic's final months and the early rise of Nazi power in Germany, Plotkin's diary focuses on the German working class, the labor movement, and the plight of German Jews. Plotkin investigated Berlin's social conditions with the help of German Social-Democratic leaders whose analyses of the situation he records alongside his own.Most accounts of Hitler's rise to power emphasize political institutions by focusing on the Nazi party's clashes with other political forces. In contrast, Plotkin is especially attentive to socioeconomic factors, providing an alternative view from the left that stems from his access to key German labor and socialist leaders. Chronologically, the diary reports on the moment when Hitler's seizure of power was not yet inevitable and when leaders on the left still believed in a different outcome of the crisis, but it also includes Plotkin's account of the complete destruction of German labor in May 1933.

8vo, Hardcover in dj, pp.624. . 16.46 x 24.18 cm. escribes how Judaism has been viewed as a dangerous force to be opposed, criticized, attacked and eliminated for centuries, from the Romans' destruction of the Second Temple, through the Inquisition and up to the Holocaust. Questions of how we are Jewish and, more critically, how and why we are not have been churning within the Western imagination throughout its history. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans; Christians and Muslims of every period; even the secularists of modernity have used Judaism in constructing their visions of the world. The thrust of this tradition construes Judaism as an opposition, a danger often from within, to be criticized, attacked, and eliminated.

New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 13,5 cm). In English. 418 p. The official line that successive Turkish regimes have frequently repeated and which has firmly established itself in both Turkish and foreign public opinion is that the Republic of Turkey is one of those rare countries in which antisemitism has never taken root, and in which Jews have thus lived for centuries within a tolerant atmosphere of peace and tranquility, but it simply isn't true. Along with antisemitism are the conspiracy theories in which the "Jew" or the "Zionist" feature as the main actors that are widely seen throughout Turkish society. In fact, this state of affairs is not only pervasive but has even become "normal" to the point of banality, so much so that it tends to draw no reaction from either the country's intellectuals or politicians. This book contains a collection of author's published articles on the subject-a subject that has received no serious treatment in Turkey, and as such attempts to fill the gaping hole in our knowledge of this widespread yet rarely discussed phenomenon and, as such, stands as an indispensible source for those interested in Turkey and antisemitism.

8vo, br. ed. 463pp. L'amicizia fra Benjamin e Scholem spicca, nel Novecento, come una tra le più affascinanti e vitali. E quando nel 1980 Scholem pubblica questo carteggio, che copre gli ultimi otto anni della vita di Benjamin, vuole rendere giustizia a un rapporto complesso e non privo di contrasti, ma improntato a una profonda fedeltà. Grande studioso della Qabbalah e della mistica ebraica, Scholem è, nel 1932, già da tempo in Palestina e ormai a un passo dalla cattedra; la vita di Benjamin, cabbalista in incognito e profondo innovatore del pensiero, attraversa invece la sua fase più tormentata: ospite di volta in volta a Ibiza, Parigi, Sanremo e in Danimarca, è costantemente alla ricerca di una base di sussistenza. Tra i due, fortemente segnati dalla formazione nella Berlino di inizio secolo e subito attratti dalle ricerche l'uno dell'altro, si sviluppa un confronto incessante che investe l'attualità politica, i libri letti, le comuni conoscenze (da Buber a Bloch, da Brecht ai francofortesi), e che trova il suo fulcro nei densissimi scambi a proposito di Kafka. Un dialogo a distanza - se si esclude il breve incontro parigino dell'inverno del 1938 - e non di rado drammatico, intessuto com'è anche di malintesi, puntute allusioni, eloquenti silenzi, ma che resta una prova convincente delle parole con cui Benjamin definì il suo rapporto con Scholem: «fra Gerhard e me le cose stanno così: ci siamo persuasi a vicenda».
