auschwitz a spojenci martin gilbert

Autor na základě rozsáhlého výzkumu v archivech několika zemí a komunikace s očitými svědky holokaustu předkládá drtivou zprávu o spletité cestě informací o táboru Auschwitz na Západ a o tom, jak na ně Západ reagoval, či přesněji řečeno nereagoval. Směs nezájmu, úřednického šlendriánu a alibismu nacistům umožnila realizovat plán na vyhlazení Židů prakticky nerušeně po několik let. Nakonec se spojenci pro akci přece jen rozhodli; to však již bylo pozdě.

The extraordinary story of Olympian who was imprisoned in Auschwitz and survived to tell his story. "Sports writer Leblond revisits in his propulsive English-language debut the life of Alfred Nakache, an Olympic athlete who was forced to swim for his guards’ entertainment at Auschwitz… Readers will be hooked.” – Publishers Weekly Alfred Nakache, a Jewish child from Constantine, never imagined that he would one day swim for France at the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936, nor than he would achieve a world record, as he did in 1941. As a child he was petrified of the water and yet, somehow, through sheer willpower and determination, he rose to become one of the very best swimmers in the world. That was until 1943, when he was banned from the pool - and in the same year, deported and sent to Auschwitz. Not knowing if he would ever see his wife and daughter again, Alfred battled on, through the humiliation and the pain, even defying the guards by swimming in the water reserves of Auschwitz.

Téměř padesát let je jméno KT Auschwitz (Osvětim) pro miliony lidí na celém světě spojeno s hitlerovským masovým vražděním, zločinem, jaký nemá v dějinách civilizace obdoby. Za necelých pět let existence tohoto tábora v něm nacisté zavraždili více než milion lidí, převážně Židů, ale také značný počet Poláků, Čechů, Romů a představitelů dalších národností. Publikace představuje základní pramen informující o dění v KT Auschwitz. Autorka den po dni odhaluje historii koncentračního tábora, uvádí, kdy a odkud přijížděly jednotlivé transporty, kolik osob v nich bylo, kolik jich bylo ihned po příjezdu posláno po selekci do plynových komor, kolik do tábora. Popisuje nejdůležitější události v táboře, popravy, útěky vězňů, budování, rozšiřování a konečně i likvidaci a evakuaci tábora. Všechny události jsou doloženy jak svědecky, tak podloženy dochovanými dokumenty. Sama autorka na knize pracovala téměř do posledních let svého života a z jejího díla vycházejí či se na něj odvolávají všechny významné vědecké práce autorů z celého světa. Kniha původně vycházela na pokračování v letech 1958-1963 v časopise Zeszyty Oświęcimskie, v následujících letech vycházela doplněná a rozšířená vydání.

John Lewis-Stempel, Daily Express__________When Germany invaded Wilhelm Brasse''s native Poland in 1939, he was asked to swear allegiance to Hitler and join the Wehrmacht. He refused. He was deported to Auschwitz concentration camp as political prisoner number 3444. A trained portrait photographer, he was ordered by the SS to record the inner workings of the camp.

But after nearly suffocating in an underground bunker, Auschwitz prisoners Ceslav Mordowicz and Arnost Rosin escaped and told Jewish leaders what they had seen. Their testimony in early June, 1944, corroborated earlier hard-to-believe reports of mass killing in Auschwitz by lethal gas and provided eyewitness accounts of record daily arrivals of Hungarian Jews meeting the same fate. It was the spark needed to stir a call for action to pressure Hungary’s premier to defy Hitler—just hours before more than 200,000 Budapest Jews were to be deported.

A self-portrait, composed by one of the greatest monsters of all time: Rudolf Hoess, the Commandant at Auschwitz, and the man who knew more than almost anyone about how Nazi Germany implemented the Final Solution. Captured by the British after the war, tried, and sentenced to death, he was ordered to write his autobiography in the weeks between his trial and his execution (which fittingly took place in Auschwitz itself). Hoess apparently enjoyed the task, and the most careful checking by researchers showed he took great pains to tell the truth. The result: a vivid and unforgettable picture of the 20th century''s defining and most horrific event. Royalties from this book go to the fund to help the few survivors of Auschwitz.

‘We felt an urge to document what we had witnessed. If we who had experienced it, I reasoned, did not reveal the bitter truth, people simply would not believe the extent of the Nazis’ evil. I wanted to share our life, the events and our struggle to survive.’Thomas Geve was just 15 years old when he was liberated from Buchenwald concentration camp on 11 April 1945. It was the third concentration camp he had survived. Upon arrival at Auschwitz- Birkenau, Thomas was separated from his mother and left to fend for himself in the men’s camp of Auschwitz I, at the age of 13. During the 22 months he was imprisoned, he was subjected to, and forced to observe first-hand, the inhumane world of Nazi concentration camps.On his eventual release Thomas felt compelled to capture daily life in the death camps in more than eighty profoundly moving drawings. Infamous scenarios synonymous with this dark period of history were portrayed in poignant but simplistic detail with extraordinary accuracy.Despite the unspeakable events he experienced, Thomas decided to become an active witness and tell the truth about life in the camps. He has spoken to audiences from around the world and continues to ... Unknown localization key: "more"

After over half a century of secrecy, a Swiss bank safe was opened, it contained the long-lost research notes of Josef Mengele, as well as those of his chief assistant in Auschwitz. They had been deposited there by the assistant who himself had been a Jewish doctor. Sent to Auschwitz, he was forced to participate in Josef Mengele’s gruesome human experiments. Following the war, he completely disappeared, assuming a new identity and shrouding himself in silence. He did write his story down, but ordered the documents to be sealed away until decades after his death. With the release date drawing closer, his granddaughter, a well-connected Vatican doctor, wanted to have the documents examined by a professional historian. Thus, a great investigation was launched to track him down and pin down his place in the medical system in Auschwitz and the horrendous medical experiments conducted there. However, after some time, doubts regarding the authenticity of the documents began to emerge. Thus, what promised to be a sensational historical breakthrough, soon turned into a criminal investigation into one of the greatest historical fraud attempts in recent decades. At the end of the second investigation, the person behind the forged documents was brought ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The story of Dutch boxer Leen Sanders who was spared to entertain the Nazi guards and helped others survive Auschwitz.'He had the dream again last night... He taps the gloves of his unbeaten Polish opponent. There are rumours that the loser will be sent to the gas chamber.' In 1943 Leen Sanders, Dutch champion boxer, was sent to Auschwitz. His wife and children were put to death while he was sent 'to the left' with the others fit enough for labor. Recognised by an SS officer, he was earmarked for a 'privileged' post in the kitchens in exchange for weekly boxing matches for the entertainment of the Nazi guards. From there, he enacted his resistance to their limitless cruelty. With great risk and danger to his own life, Leen Sanders stole, concealed and smuggled food and clothing from SS nursing units for years to alleviate the unbearable suffering of the prisoners in need. He also regularly supplied extra food to the Dutch women in Dr. Mengele's experiment Block 10. To his fellow Jews in the camp, he acted as a rescuer, leader and role model, defending them even on their bitter death march to Dachau towards the end of the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

At the terrible heart of the modern age lies Auschwitz. In a total inversion of earlier hopes about the use of science and technology to improve, extend and protect human life, Auschwitz manipulated the same systems to quite different ends. In Sybille Steinbacher''s terse, powerful new book, the reader is led through the process by which something unthinkable to any European in the 1930s had become a sprawling, industrial reality during the course of the world war. How Auschwitz grew and mutated into an entire dreadful city, how both those who managed it and those who were killed by it came to be in Poland in the 1940s, and how it was allowed to happen, is something everyone needs to understand.

Další z řady knížek Guy Gilberta se zabývá tématem rodiny. Patří mezi ty nejnovější, takže reflektuje aktuální situaci pohledu na rodinu, jak ji podnítil svými projevy a iniciativami papež František. Gilbert se v tomto smyslu ukazuje jako ten, kdo přesně pochopil Františkovy důrazy a ohledy. Ačkoli je Gilbert sám z velmi tradiční rodiny (15 sourozenců), jsou jeho názory na rodinu a související témata prosyceny realismem a zkušeností toho, o jak komplikovanou věc jde. Gilbert prochází několika hlavními okruhy – otázkou partnerství dvou lidí, kteří by měli být základem rodiny; rodičovstvím a vztahem k dětem; rolí prarodičů v rodině; otázkou homosexuality a jejich soužití; problémem předávání víry v rodině. Ve všech oblastech se projevuje jeho moudrý nadhled a nekonvenční přímočarost. Varuje před unáhlenými svatbami za každou cenu, připouští přijímání eucharistie u některých rozvedených a znovu sezdaných, uznává společný život homosexuálních párů atd. Pro Gilberta je rodina pokladnicí, z níž je možné čerpat mnoho zásadní síly pro život, ale o kterou je třeba se také pečlivě starat. Aniž by zlehčoval emoční rozměr věci, klade důraz na společnou práci všech zúčastněných, na trpělivost, obětavost, velkorysost. Guy Gilbert je známý francouzský kněz a vychovatel delikventní mládeže.

Kniha - autor Danuta Czechová, 1192 stran, česky, polotuhá flexo Téměř padesát let je jméno KT Auschwitz (Osvětim) pro miliony lidí na celém světě spojeno s hitlerovským masovým vražděním, zločinem, jaký nemá v dějinách civilizace obdoby. Za necelých pět let existence tohoto tábora v něm nacisté zavraždili více než milion lidí, převážně Židů, ale také značný počet Poláků, Čechů, Romů a představitelů dalších národností. Publikace představuje základní pramen informující o dění v KT Auschwitz. Autorka den po dni odhaluje historii koncentračního tábora, uvádí, kdy a odkud přijížděly jednotlivé transporty, kolik osob v nich bylo, kolik jich bylo ihned po příjezdu posláno po selekci do plynových komor, kolik do tábora. Popisuje nejdůležitější události v táboře, popravy, útěky vězňů, budování, rozšiřování a konečně i likvidaci a evakuaci tábora. Všechny události jsou doloženy jak svědecky, tak podloženy dochovanými dokumenty. Sama autorka na knize pracovala téměř do...

The powerful, heart-breaking memoir of Dita Kraus, the real-life Librarian of AuschwitzBorn in Prague to a Jewish family in 1929, Dita Kraus has lived through the most turbulent decades of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Here, Dita writes with startling clarity on the horrors and joys of a life delayed by the Holocaust. From her earliest memories and childhood friendships in Prague before the war, to the Nazi-occupation that saw her and her family sent to the Jewish ghetto at Terezin, to the unimaginable fear and bravery of her imprisonment in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, and life after liberation.Dita writes unflinchingly about the harsh conditions of the camps and her role as librarian of the precious books that her fellow prisoners managed to smuggle past the guards. But she also looks beyond the Holocaust - to the life she rebuilt after the war: her marriage to fellow survivor Otto B Kraus, a new life in Israel and the happiness and heartbreaks of motherhood.Part of Dita's story was told in fictional form in the Sunday Times bestseller The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe. Her memoir tells the full story in her own words.

''Superb and timely'' KATE MOSSE''Impressive, important, deeply moving'' SARAH WATERS''Brilliant'' ANTHONY HOROWITZWhat role could music play in a death camp? What was the effect on those women who owed their survival to their participation in a Nazi propaganda project? And how did it feel to be forced to provide solace to the perpetrators of a genocide that claimed the lives of their family and friends? In 1943, German SS officers in charge of Auschwitz-Birkenau ordered that an orchestra should be formed among the female prisoners. Almost fifty women and girls from eleven nations were assembled to play marching music to other inmates - forced labourers who left each morning and returned, exhausted and often broken, at the end of the day - and give weekly concerts for Nazi officers. Individual members were sometimes summoned to give solo performances of an officer''s favourite piece of music. It was the only entirely female orchestra in any of the Nazi prison camps and, for almost all of the musicians chosen to take part, being in the orchestra was to save their lives. In The Women''s Orchestra of Auschwitz, award-winning historian Anne Sebba tells their astonishing story with sensitivity and care.

Suddenly there is a blow to my face, I am hurled to one side. 'My child, I have to go with her!' I scream. But Dr Mengel is standing before me, whip raised. 'Maul halten, shut up!' His eyes gleam. Filled with fear I cower down. In 1943, as the Nazi power swept across central Europe, Rosa, her husband Emanuel and their daughter, Judy, were forced into hiding. But after a year and a half of living a terrifying, day-by-day existence, they were betrayed. As they arrived in Auschwitz, Rosa was torn from her husband and her only daughter. Could she dare to hope she would see either of them again? Somehow, Rosa fought the horror and humiliation of the camp, on occasion coming dangerously close to death.
