DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. RIMANENZA DI MAGAZZINO PARI AL NUOVO. La storia di una famiglia, di una comunità e di un’isola devastate della Shoah. Una ricerca storica basata su documenti inediti. Il recupero dell'archivio dei Carabinieri Reali, avvenuto a Rodi alla fine del 2013, ha permesso di rivedere la storia della presenza italiana nel Dodecaneso (1912-1947). Marco Clementi e Eirini Toliou, incrociando i documenti del nuovo fondo con quelli di altri archivi in Italia, Grecia, Gran Bretagna e Stati Uniti, hanno ricostruito le vicende della comunità ebraica di Rodi dalle leggi razziali del 1938 alla deportazione, avvenuta per opera degli occupanti tedeschi nel luglio 1944, ma con la complicità delle locali autorità civili italiane. Gli autori indagano anche la complessa fuga dei migranti dall'Europa antisemita verso la Palestina e i naufragi di navi come il Rim e il Pentcho nel Dodecaneso, dove si incrociarono vite e destini. Con grande chiarezza e senza timore di violare luoghi comuni, si entra in un'epoca drammatica e piena di contraddizioni, nella quale le decisioni furono dettate dalla contingenza e le memorie di natura giustificazionista e auto-assolutoria scritte dai protagonisti a posteriori decadono di fronte alla documentazione, in grande misura inedita. Un testo che racconta di una comunità distrutta durante la Shoah e illustra con passione le storie personali di donne e uomini che furono sradicati nel luglio 1944 dal luogo più remoto d'Europa e non fecero più ritorno a casa.

Publishers cloth. 8vo. VIII, 259 pages. 24 cm. First edition. The fiftieth anniversary of World War II and the Holocaust inspired new memoirs, documentaries and historical studies, but few examined the hundreds of personal stories of Italians who tried to rescue Jewish people from certain death, and the important role played in those efforts by the Catholic Church, especially by Pope Pius XII and many parishes and religious orders of men and women. Mainly using untapped oral histories of Italian Jews and Catholics, this book shows that Catholics in Italy who saved Jews firmly believed they were doing so in consonance with the Pope's wishes. Readers will get to know these courageous individuals through their inspiring memoirs. Yours is a Precious Witness strives to draw a more personal portrait of Pius XII. He spoke loudly - not in words, which would have resulted in Nazi retaliations, but in actions that directly saved thousands of Jews. Convents, monasteries and papal buildings in Italy became havens for refugees. (Publishers description) Subjects: Jews - Persecutions - Italy. Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) - Italy.

Softbound. 8vo. XXV, 276 pages. 23 cm. First edition. Azrieli series of Holocaust survivor memoirs; Series II. Fred Manns compelling story is at once a nerve-wracking account of his familys efforts to stay one step ahead of the Nazi death machinery and the captivating story of a boys rapid entry into manhood. His account is rooted in rich details of daily life in Leipzig and Berlin under the Third Reich. With the rise of the Nazis, Fred recalls in the most personal of terms the tightening net of persecution that gradually made life in Germany intolerable for its Jews and forced his family to flee. Using the biblical theme of Exodus to give shape to his story, he traces his familys exile through Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Jamaica and finally to a new home in Canada. A tale of truly epic proportions, at once tragic and hopeful, it is also a story of the profound resilience of youth, of a boy who found himself taking on adult responsibilities while at the same time wrestling with his newfound attraction to girls. Though he is proud of his maverick spirit and his ability to aid his family in a time of desperate need, Fred Manns story is also a lament for a lost childhood, a lament for having to grow up too fast.

A history of the French ORT, and the life and work of Leon Bramson (Leonty; 18691941) , communal worker and writer. Born in Kovno, Bramson graduated in law from Moscow University, then settled in St. Petersburg, where he practiced, and was active in the Society for the Promotion of Culture Among the Jews . He was also director of the central committee of the Jewish Colonization Association from 1899 to 1906. Under his direction a statistical study was carried out on the economic situation of the Jews in Russia (published in Russian in 1904 and in French in 19068) . He was one of the compilers of the Sistematicheskiy ukazatel literatury o yevreyakh na russkom yazyke ('Systematic Guide to Russian Literature About Jews, ' 1892) , and contributed many articles to Voskhod and other periodicals on problems of Jewish education, emigration, and colonization. Active in Jewish political life, Bramson was one of the founders of the 'Jewish Democratic Group. ' In 1906 he was elected to the First Duma as a deputy for Kovno province, joining the Labor faction ('Trudoviki') . During World War I, the Revolution, and the Civil War, Bramson was an organizer of the Central Committee for the Relief of Jewish War Sufferers (YEKOPO) . When he left Russia in 1920, he continued to work in Western Europe on behalf of ORT (with which he had been associated in Russia from 1909) , serving as its president from 1923 until his death.

An early Zionist from a wealthy family, he visited the USA, spending the First World War years there. He returned to Russia and was elected to the short-lived 1918 Constituent Assembly. An industrialist, he was interested in ORT's agricultural and co-operative projects. Elected as a founder member of the World ORT Union Council in 1921, he was central in developing ORT into a world organisation. Lvovitch travelled abroad with Leon Bramson to find financial support for needy Russian Jews after the First World War. He worked successfully in the USA, cultivating support among the Russian emigre community. On Bramson's death Lvovitch and Aaron Syngalowski, as co-chairmen of the ORT Executive, shared the running of World ORT throughout the Second World War and after. Lvovitch, based in Paris, was in charge of ORT's remarkable programmes assisting and retraining displaced persons in Europe. When he died, the ORT Lvovitch School in Netanya was named in his memory.

Portfolio with Paper Dustjacket. 20 black and white sketches and 10 watercolors. With accompanying text by Esther Lurie; introd. Moshe Sharett ; foreword Eugene Kolb, Esther Lurie [1913-1998] was born in Liepaja, Latvia, to a religious Jewish family. From 1931-1934 she learned theatrical set design at the Institut des Arts Décoratifs in Brussels, and afterwards studied drawing at the Académie Royal des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp. In 1934 Lurie migrated to Palestine with most of her family and worked at various artistic activities. In 1939 she travelled to Europe to further her studies. World War II had begun while she was in Lithuania and during the Nazi occupation (1941-44) she was imprisoned in the Kovno ghetto along with the other Jews. As soon as she entered the ghetto, in mid-1941, Lurie began to sketch views of her new world. She has left behind a detailed written testimony of her life and work during World War II. This combination of literary and visual testimony make up a "living witness". Lurie drew everywhere in the ghetto, including the various workshops. Including a pottery workshop. During her visits there, Lurie got the idea of asking theJewish potters to prepare a number of jars for her. She would use these to conceal her art works if the situation worsened. After the deportation of 26 October 1943, in which 3,000 ghetto inmates were removed to forced labor camps in Estonia, Lurie hid her artcollection, approximately 200 drawings and watercolors, in the large jars she had prepared in advance. In July 1944, as the Red Army approached Lithuania, the ghetto was liquidated and those remaining were transferred to concentration camps and forced labor camps in Germany. The ghetto was set on fire and the buildings were blown up and burnt to prevent those hiding from escaping. Esther Lurie was sentto Stutthof concentration camp, leaving her hidden works behind. After the war some of her drawings were recovered, surviving with the Ältestenrat's archive. Avraham Tory succeeded in rescuing 11 sketches and watercolors and 20 of the photographs of her works. During the Eichmann trial, which took place in Jerusalem in 1961, Lurie's SecondWorld War works were exhibited as part of the testimony - giving an "official authorization" from Israel's Supreme Court to the rich documentary value of her sketches and watercolors. This is in addition to their aesthetic value as objects of art. SUBJECT(S): World War, 1939-1945 -- Pictorial works.
