Modernita a holocaust - Zygmunt Bauman
Rozbor sociologických kořenů holocaustu, tj. vyvraždění deseti milonů Evropanů v nacistických koncentračních táborech. Možnosti prevence budoucích genocid. Bauman chápe holocaust jako "židovskou tragédii", zdůrazňuje však její specifické rysy, které ji odlišují od všech ostatních genocid. Konstatuje, že holocaust se objevil a byl realizován v naší moderní, racionalizované a racionalistické společnosti, na vysoké úrovni rozvoje naší civilizace a na vrcholu úspěchů lidské kultury - ale právě proto je problémem této společnosti, této civilizace a této kultury. Holocaust je tak pochopen nikoliv "pouze" jako historická událost, ale jako dějinný milník, jako výpověď o povaze a charakteru naší civilizace, o tom, jak degenerovala lidská racionalita a k jakým cílům byla použita. Baumanova kniha zařazuje holocaust do kontextu sociologických analýz rasismu, ale překračuje je tím, že dokládá tragickou dialektiku "výjimečnosti a normality" holocaustu. Autor bez moralizování prokazuje, jak se v polovině 20. století dostal osvícenský racionalismus do ostrého konfliktu s morálkou a nenalezl z něj východisko. Bibliografie prací Zygmunta Baumana čítá několik desítek knižních monografií, avšak právě kniha Modernita a holocaust z roku 1989 je pokládána veřejností (nejen akademickou) i autorem samým za dílo přelomové: touto knihou se stal světově uznávaným sociologem a autoritou v oblasti analýzy pozdně moderní doby.

Israel and the Holocaust - Dr Avinoam J. Patt
Avinoam Patt examines the relationship between two of the most significant events in modern Jewish history, the Holocaust and the creation of the state of Israel. While there may be no direct causal connection between the Holocaust and the founding of the Jewish state in 1948, the memory of the Holocaust has been a constant presence in Israeli politics, culture, and society since even before 1948.The State of Israel has always existed in an uneasy relationship with the Shoah. On the one hand, Israel was faced with the challenge of taking in hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors as new citizens of the state, many of whom were discouraged from sharing their traumatic wartime experiences with their fellow citizens. On the other hand, the destruction of European Jewry and the failure of Western democracy to protect the Jewish minority in Europe seemed to vindicate the Zionist worldview, even as classical Zionism argued that the Jewish people deserved a state on the basis of their deep historical connection to the Land of Israel. By tracing the evolving relationship to the memory of Shoah, Avinoam Patt argues, we can also trace shifting conceptions of Israeli self-understanding and identity, Israel’s relationship to the ...

The Arabs and the Holocaust - Gilbert Achcar
The Arab–Israeli conflict goes far beyond the wars waged on Middle Eastern battlefields. There is also a war of narratives revolving around the two defining traumas of the conflict: the Holocaust and the Nakba. One side is charged with Holocaust denial, the other with exploiting a tragedy while denying the tragedies of others.In this path-breaking book, eminent political scientist Gilbert Achcar explores these conflicting narratives and considers their role in today’s Middle East dispute. He analyses the various Arab responses to the Holocaust, from the earliest intimations of the genocide, through the creation of Israel and the occupation of Palestine, and up to our own time, critically assessing the political and historical context for these responses.Achcar offers a unique ideological mapping of the Arab world, in the process defusing and international propaganda war that has become a major stumbling block in the path of Arab–Western understanding.

Jews, Nazis and the Holocaust: What You Need to Know - Hyman Wolanski
Jews, Nazis and the Holocaust: What You Need to Know explains the Holocaust in its broadest sense.Hyman Wolanski delves into how antisemitism developed over the centuries and morphed from religious antisemitism, where the Jews were held responsible for the death of Jesus Christ, to Nazi antisemitism, where it was deemed necessary to murder all the Jews.The second section, Nazis, is the remarkable story of how Hitler developed from a nondescript Austrian corporal in the German Army to become the almighty dictator of Germany.Lastly, Wolanski demonstrates how Hitler and his Nazi Party used the war that he had started to annihilate Europe’s Jews by brutal treatment, mass shootings and in gas chambers. He also looks at the Nuremberg Trials and the Displaced Persons Camps after the war.

Eichmann and the Holocaust - Hannah Arendt
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.Inspired by the trial of a bureaucrat who helped cause the Holocaust, this radical work on the banality of evil stunned the world with its exploration of a regime''s moral blindness and one man''s insistence that he be absolved all guilt because he was ''only following orders''.

Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us . . .Nine-year-old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution and the Holocaust. He is oblivious to the appalling cruelties being inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has been moved from a comfortable home in Berlin to a house in a desolate area where there is nothing to do and no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel, a boy who lives a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence and who, like the other people there, wears a uniform of striped pyjamas.Bruno''s friendship with Shmuel will take him from innocence to revelation. And in exploring what he is unwittingly a part of, he will inevitably become subsumed by the terrible process.

The Candlelight Master - Michael Longley
*AN IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR*''I can''t bear the thought of a world without Michael Longley, yet his poetry keeps hurtling towards that fact more and more urgently as it stretches in an unflinching way beyond comfort or certainty.'' So wrote Maria Johnston, reviewing Longley''s previous book Angel Hill. Yet The Candlelight Master does not only face into shadows. The title poem sums up the chiaroscuro of this collection, named after a mysterious Baroque painter. Other poems about painters - Matisse, Bonnard - imply that age makes the quest for artistic perfection all the more vital. A poem addressed to the eighth-century Japanese poet, Otomo Yakamochi, says: ''We gaze on our soul-landscapes / More intensely with every year.'' The soul-landscape of The Candlelight Master is often a landscape of memory. But if Longley looks back over formative experiences, and over the forms he has given them, he channels memory into freshly fluid structures. His new poems about war and the Holocaust speak to our own dark times. Translation brings dead poets up to date too. The bawdy of Catullus becomes Scots ''Hochmagandy''. Yakamochi and the lyric poets of Ancient Greece find themselves at home in Longley''s Carrigskeewaun.

A Bed for the King's Daughter - Shahla Ujayli
A groundbreaking collection of experimental short fiction by award-winning Syrian author and Booker International Prize for Arabic Fiction nominee Shahla Ujayli, A Bed for the King’s Daughter uses surrealism and irony to examine such themes as women’s agency, the decline of collective life and imagination under modernity, and the effects of social and political corruption on daily life. In “The Memoir of Cinderella’s Shoes,†Cinderella uses her famous glass slipper as a weapon in order to take justice into her own hands. In “Tell Me About Surrealism,†an art history professor’s writing assignment reveals the slipperiness of storytelling, and in “Merry Christmas,†the realities of apartheid interfere with one family’s celebration. Through twenty-two short stories, Ujayli animates-with brevity and inventiveness-themes relevant to both the particularities of life in the Arab world and life outside it.

Fighting Enemies Foreign and Domestic
Angelo Codevilla, a towering intellect and prolific scholar, left an indelible mark on the study of political philosophy and statesmanship. An Italian immigrant, Codevilla embraced America with a fervent belief in its republican ideals. His academic journey took him to Rutgers, where his early promise in physics hinted at the analytical rigor he later applied to political philosophy. Pursuing his passion for understanding human governance, he earned a PhD under Harry Jaffa at Claremont Graduate School, where he also studied under Leo Strauss. A naval intelligence officer, foreign service officer, and staffer on the US Senate’s Select Committee on Intelligence, Codevilla bridged the worlds of strategic policy and classical thought. His advocacy for missile defense during the Reagan administration – a concept many deemed visionary – was matched only by his sharp critiques of the bipartisan political class. Codevilla’s profound engagement with the writings of Machiavelli, Tocqueville, and America’s founders informed his incisive works, including The Character of Nations and America’s Rise and Fall Among Nations. A translator of Machiavelli’s The Prince and an unrelenting critic of technocratic governance, he inspired a generation of thinkers to confront uncomfortable truths about modernity and the American regime.

The Taste of War - Lizzie Collingham
In World War Two, 19 million people died in the conflicts across the globe. Yet in those same years, more than 20 million died from starvation and malnutrition. In The Taste of War Lizzie Collingham shows how food - and its lack - was central to the war''s causes and continuation. She explores how starvation was often a deliberate governmental policy, and reveals how the necessity of feeding whole countries lead to Pearl Harbour, Germany''s invasion of Russia, and the Holocaust itself.

Tekutá modernita - Zygmunt Bauman
Kniha zpracovává jeden z klíčových konceptů, s nimiž přišel slavný sociolog Zygmunt Bauman. Podle něj ideu tekuté modernity charakterizuje individualismus, narůstající pocit nejistoty a privatizace ambivalence. Jde o chaotické pokračování moderny, kdy jedinec může volně přejít z jedné sociální pozice do jiné. Typickým rysem tekuté modernity je nomádství, člověk proplouvající světem jako turista, měnící místa, zaměstnání, partnery, hodnoty, politickou a sexuální orientaci, aniž by vytvářel a participoval na tradičních sítích vztahů a zodpovědností. Ty jsou nahrazeny osobní, zcela individuální volbou. Zkoumání změn, které znamenají nástup tekuté modernity pro lidskou situaci, rozděluje Bauman do pěti částí, ve kterých podrobně analyzuje proměny základních moderních konceptů: 1. úsilí o emancipaci, 2. myšlenku individualizace – představu, že je na jedinci, aby se sám stal tím, kým chce být, 3. představu pokroku a práce jako prostředku, jak ovládnout budoucnost, 4. oddělení času a prostoru, 5. národní stát.Zygmunt Bauman (1925–2017) byl polsko-britský sociolog a filozof, jeden z nejvýznamnějších teoretiků společenských věd. Zabýval se otázkami modernity, holokaustu, postmoderního konzumerismu apod.

Modernita a ambivalence - Zygmunt Bauman
Ambivalence je téma, které se v díle Zygmunta Baumana objevuje velmi často. V jeho analýzách modernity, v knihách o životě v tekuté moderní společnosti, jde téměř vždy o motiv ústřední. Baumanova sociologická perspektiva sama o sobě vyzařuje ambivalenci a mnohá témata, která během své kariéry zkoumal - například svobodu, morálku, nesmrtelnost a utopii - jsou sama o sobě fundamentálním vyjádřením ambivalence. Bauman trvá na tom, že svět není jednou provždy pevně daný, ale že jej lidé mohou zpochybňovat a měnit, a ambivalence tak není nemocí, kterou je třeba léčit, ale spíše faktem, který je třeba přijmout.Ambivalence je nedílnou součástí našeho lidského bytí. Je nedílnou součástí naší zkušenostní a emocionální sféry, zakořeněným aspektem našich životních rozhodnutí a konfrontace se společností, jakýmsi nepříjemným prostředníkem mezi nadějemi a skutečně existující realitou. Ambivalence je pojem, který se používá k popisu smíšených emocí a komplexního prožívání toho, že jsme jakoby chyceni mezi protichůdné nebo konfliktní póly (očekávání, možnosti, volby atd.) a nemůžeme mít obojí zároveň. Je zřejmé, že ambivalence se v lidských dějinách objevovala po celou dobu. Zdá se však, jako bychom v moderní době na jedné straně vyprodukovali dosud nevídané množství ambivalence a zároveň jsme vůči tomuto fenoménu stále více netolerantní, a proto se ...

44 dopisů z tekutého moderního světa - Zygmunt Bauman
Náš tekutý moderní svět není - jako všechny tekutiny - schopen zůstat v klidu a podržet si nadlouho svůj tvar. Všechno, nebo téměř všechno se v něm neustále mění. A my, obyvatelé tohoto neustále se měnícího světa, cítíme potřebu se tomuto světu přizpůsobovat, a to tak, že jsme "flexibilní" a trvale připravení se rovněž měnit. Chceme vědět, co se děje a co se pravděpodobně přihodí, ale zaplavuje nás příliv informací, které nás hrozí zcela zahltit. Nic se nevzpírá podrobnému zkoumání tak urputně jako běžné věci každodenního života, které se skrývají ve světle klamné a zavádějící důvěrné známosti. Aby je bylo možné pozorně prozkoumat, je třeba je nejdříve vytrhnout z této každodenní rutiny: to, co je zdánlivé známé, se musí stát neznámým. A přesně o to se Zygmunt Bauman v těchto 44 dopisech pokusil: každý z dopisů vypravuje příběh převzatý z běžného života, ale tak, aby se ukázaly mimořádné aspekty, jež bychom jinak měli tendenci přehlédnout. Poutavé, objevné, znepokojivé - takové jsou dopisy Zygmunta Baumana, analytika našeho moderního tekutého světa, které psal v letech 2008 až 2009 pro čtenáře jednoho italského časopisu.

Tekutý život - Zygmunt Bauman
Tekutý život přispívá k rostoucí nerovnosti, nejistotě a nedůvěře. Současná, moderní společnost rezignovala na své sociální základy a stabilní, pevný řád transformovala do měkké a pružné formy v domnění, že tím dosáhne maximální otevřenosti. Taková společnost ale nedokáže trvale udržet tvar, přetéká z jedné polohy do druhé, její podoby jsou krátkodobé a cíle méně angažované. Člověk se může opírat jen o minimum jistot a stále méně spoléhat na solidaritu a odpovědnost jednotlivce. Sociolog Zygmunt Bauman, autor teorie o "tekutosti" současného světa, ve své knize Tekutý život navazuje na svou nejznámější publikaci Tekutá modernita. Bauman je znám jako velký kritik globalizace a jejich neblahých dopadů na lidskou společnost. Jakkoli se vymezuje vůči individualismu, nečiní tak z ideové pozice postmarxisty, nýbrž ústy sociologa, jenž za flexibilitou jednotlivce a neomezenými možnostmi, které pro dosažení svého úspěchu prosazuje, vidí rovněž narůstající populismus, bezohlednost a technokratické pojetí života. Jednotlivec se přestává socializovat a svou individuální roli nespatřuje v činnosti ve prospěch komunitního celku, ale uskupení ekonomického, které je soustředěno výhradně na zisk, bez ohledu na jakoukoliv solidaritu a další možné negativní důsledky například v oblasti ekologie či kultury.

Vedlejší škody - Zygmunt Bauman
Vedlejší škody, sousloví známé především z vojenské terminologie, užívá sociolog Zygmunt Bauman, když se zamýšlí nad narůstající sociální nerovností a marginalizací lidského utrpení, jež dosahují stále větších rozměrů. Chudoba je běžně vnímána jako problém neschopnosti vydělat peníze a je v zásadě kriminalizována. Nejnižší vrstva společnosti je v postavení, kdy by se jí ostatní nejraději zbavili. Takovéto chápání chudoby zakrývá sociální kořeny nerovnosti, které spočívají v kombinaci konzumní životní filozofie propagované a vštěpované spotřebitelsky orientovanou ekonomikou a úbytkem životních šancí dostupných chudým. V našem současném, tekutém a moderním světě jsou chudí vedlejší škodou společnosti orientované na zisk. Jsou to cizinci uvnitř, kteří jsou zbaveni práv, jimž se těší ostatní členové společenského řádu.

Morální slepota - Zygmunt Bauman, Leonidas Donskis
V životě, kde jsou hodnoty odvozovány od kasovních trháků a lidé touží po nejnovějších technických a módních vychytávkách, kde svůj názor odvozují od bulvárních drbů a jsou líní přemýšlet nad složitými otázkami, čelíme vážnému riziku, že ztratíme citlivost a přestaneme vnímat utrpení druhých. Zlo totiž neodhaluje svou tvář jen za okolností, v nichž lidé často jednají pod extrémním nátlakem, jako jsou například války, projevuje se převážně v každodenní necitlivosti k utrpení druhých, v neschopnosti či odmítání je pochopit a v náhodném odvracení etického pohledu. Zlo a mravní slepota se skrývají v tom, co považujeme za normální, v triviálnostech a v banalitě každodenního života, a to nejen v abnormálních a výjimečných případech. Britský sociolog Zygmunt Bauman a litevský filosof a politolog Leonidas Donskis jev morální slepoty analyzují prostřednictvím konceptu adiafory - umístění určitých činů nebo kategorií lidských bytostí mimo svět morálních závazků a hodnocení. Adiafora implikuje postoj lhostejnosti k tomu, co se ve světě děje, je znakem mravní otupělosti, která se podle autorů stále více vzmáhá v západní společnosti.

Tekuté zlo - Zygmunt Bauman, Leonidas Donskis
Pomocí precizní definice „tekutého zla“ podávají autoři jedinečnou diagnózu aktuální geopolitické situace v Evropě, která se vyznačuje vratkostí, nejistotou, permanentními změnami, politickým populismem a prohlubujícími se rozdíly napříč společností. Tekuté zlo s podtitulem Život bez alternativ je předposlední knihou polsko-britského sociologa Zygmunta Baumana (1925 – 2017) a litevského filozofa a politologa Leonidase Donskise (1962 – 2016). Kniha popisuje fenomén zla, které je ze své podstaty všudypřítomné a nesmrtelné, ve své současné podobě však přesto odlišné od všech svých minulých podob: jedná se o takzvané „tekuté zlo“. Na rozdíl od „pevného zla“ minulosti (které bylo např. produktem zločinných režimů SSSR a Hitlerovy Třetí říše), jež se vyznačovalo koncentrovaností, centrálním dohledem, a tudíž i snadnou detekovatelností, definují autoři knihy „tekuté zlo“ jako obtížně uchopitelné, neustále proměnlivé, těžko vystopovatelné, a tím i zrádnější a ve svých důsledcích také zlověstnější. Základním prostředkem „tekutého zla“ není hrubá síla, ale metoda svádění a následného ústupu. „Tekuté zlo“ má jedinečnou schopnost převlékat háv a vystupovat v roli přítele (např. populistického politika slibujícího rychlá řešení, nebo sledovacích zařízení, která si sami dobrovolně implementujeme do mobilu), načež zničí vše, co bylo vybudováno a zanechá po sobě pustou planinu.

The Holocaust and the War of Ideas - Edward Alexander
The Holocaust and the War of Ideas begins with an analysis of ancient and modern anti-Semitism as the primary cause of the destruction of European Jewry. Alexander proceeds to interpret representative works from the three main bodies of Holocaust literature—Yiddish, American, Hebrew—in relation to the war of ideas that surrounds the historical catastrophe that is their subject.The chapter on Yiddish writers explores religious ideas and the claim that Yiddish, having become the language of martyrdom, has replaced Hebrew as the Jews'' sacred tongue. The discussion of American writers centers on the attempts to Americanize Anne Frank, and criticizes the "personalization" of the Holocaust by literary latecomers to the subject who knew little of the Jewish past other than the Holocaust. Alexander treats sympathetically writers like Kovner and Appelfeld who integrated the European tragedy into the Israeli imagination, but charges that some Israeli dramatists have perpetrated travesties of the Holocaust that resemble anti-Semitic polemics.The second half of the book enters the seething cauldron of controversy in which the Holocaust is now engulfed. The chapter on Italian Jewry evaluates accusations of Vatican indifference and Primo Levi''s allegations about German national character; the chapter "Crime and Punishment" reevaluates the writings of Arendt, Wiesenthal, ...

Možnosti prevence budoucích genocid. Bauman chápe holocaust jako „židovskou tragédii“, zdůrazňuje však její specifické rysy, které ji odlišují od všech ostatních genocid. Konstatuje, že holocaust se objevil a byl realizován v naší moderní, racionalizované a racionalistické společnosti, na vysoké úrovni rozvoje naší civilizace a na vrcholu úspěchů lidské kultury – ale právě proto je problémem této společnosti, této civilizace a této kultury. Holocaust je tak pochopen nikoliv „pouze“ jako historická událost, ale jako dějinný milník, jako výpověď o povaze a charakteru naší civilizace, o tom, jak degenerovala lidská racionalita a k jakým cílům byla použita. Baumanova kniha zařazuje holocaust do kontextu sociologických analýz rasismu, ale překračuje je tím, že dokládá tragickou...

Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning (1784701483)
Kniha - autor Timothy Snyder, 462 stran, anglicky, Brožovaná bez přebalu matná - autor Timothy Snyder, 462 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná We have come to see the Holocaust as a factory of death, organised by bureaucrats. Yet by the time the gas chambers became operation more than a million European Jews were already dead: shot at close range over pits and ravines. They had been murdered in the lawless killing zones created by the German colonial war in the East, many on the fertile black earth that the Nazis believed would feed the German people.It comforts us to believe that the Holocaust was a unique event. But as Timothy Snyder shows, we have missed basic lessons of the history of the Holocaust, and some of our beliefs are frighteningly close to the ecological panic that Hitler expressed in the 1920s. As ideological and environmental challenges to the world order mount, our societies might be more vulnerable than we would like to think.Timothy...

Moral Blindness - Zygmunt Bauman, Leonidas Donskis
Evil is not confined to war or to circumstances in which people are acting under extreme duress. Today it more frequently reveals itself in the everyday insensitivity to the suffering of others, in the inability or refusal to understand them and in the casual turning away of one s ethical gaze.

Islamic Philosophy and the Crisis of Modernity - Georges Tamer
Unveils the profound influence of medieval Islamic philosophy on the thought of Leo Strauss. This study examines the impact of the medieval Muslim philosophers al-Farabi, Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ibn Rushd (Averroes) on Leo Strauss. Through meticulous source analysis, Georges Tamer critically evaluates Strauss's interpretation of their works. Furthermore, he explores how Islamic philosophy shaped Strauss's understanding of Maimonides and Plato, providing a compelling solution to the modernity crisis he identified. Offering fresh perspectives on the evolution of Strauss's thought and his distinctive approach to Arabic sources, Tamer sheds light on the pivotal role of al-Farabi, the most significant Muslim philosopher in Strauss's view, including key aspects of al-Farabi's political philosophy and his nuanced take on Plato's ideas. Islamic Philosophy and the Crisis of Modernity is a valuable addition to current scholarship on Strauss. Both philosophically erudite and philologically rigorous, Tamer presents the reader with a balanced perspective on Strauss's insights without being overly reverential or dismissive.

But there are major aspects of its history that have been overlooked.Spanning the entirety of the Holocaust and across the world, this sweeping history deepens our understanding.

He outlines the depth of collaboration across Europe, arguing persuasively that we need to stop thinking of the Holocaust as an exclusively German project. He also considers the nature of trauma the Holocaust engendered, and why Jewish suffering has yet to be fully reckoned with.

The Kaiser's Holocaust: Germany's Forgotten Genocide and the Colonial Roots of Nazism (057123142X)
Kniha - autor Casper Erichsen; David Olusoga, 394 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná On 12 May 1883, the German flag was raised on the coast of South-West Africa, modern Namibia - the beginnings of Germany's African Empire. As colonial forces moved in , their ruthless punitive raids became an open war of extermination. Thousands of the indigenous people were killed or driven out into the desert to die. By 1905, the survivors were interned in concentration camps, and systematically starved and worked to death. Years later, the people and ideas that drove the ethnic cleansing of German South West Africa would influence the formation of the Nazi party. "The Kaiser's Holocaust" uncovers extraordinary links between the two regimes: their ideologies, personnel, even symbols and uniform. The Herero and Nama genocide was deliberately concealed for almost a century. Today, as the graves of the victims are uncovered, its re-emergence challenges the belief that...

Poetry of the Holocaust
In Poetry of the Holocaust, the editors Jean Boase-Beier and Marian de Vooght (helped by many translators, advisors, and experts of one sort and another) aim to give a fuller picture than do most Holocaust anthologies of the poetry that arose from the Holocaust. Here there are poems from languages that are less often associated with the Holocaust (such as Norwegian or Japanese) and there are poems by or about those victimised for perceived disabilities, or because they were gay, or because their political or religious beliefs made them targets of Nazi hatred.It is of course not possible to cover the vast range of Holocaust poetry in one small anthology. But a wider-ranging collection such as this might help readers who are less familiar with the facts of the Holocaust to ï¬nd a way in, and to empathise on an individual level with the many people who suffered, and are still suffering. And perhaps – because poetry engages the reader’s emotions in a way that documentary writing cannot – it might also help us examine our thoughts and ways of behaving.

The Holocaust in 100 Histories - Professor Paul R. Bartrop
This chronologically-arranged collection of articles demonstrates the complex and multifaceted nature of the Holocaust. From January 1933 and the ascent to office of Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany, through to October 1945 and the opening of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, The Holocaust in 100 Histories takes an episodic approach to consider some of the people, ideas, groups, and events that characterized the genocide which unfolded against the backdrop of the Nazi period and the Second World War.Paul R. Bartrop shines a light on Nazi perpetrators, Righteous Gentiles who helped save Jews during the Holocaust, Jewish resisters, as well as movements, events, and developments during the Third Reich and the war years. The 100 entries included in the book provide both a series of snapshots and a pathway to understanding how the Holocaust was manifested-or defied -during the years between 1933 and 1945. Its structure enables readers to access the Holocaust in or out of sequence, reading individual entries as appropriate, while the book also contains key primary source documents, further reading suggestions and discussion questions designed to prompt debate and further study.

In the Shadow of the Holocaust
In the Shadow of the Holocaust is a collection of newly translated short fiction written in the aftermath of one of the most significant Jewish tragedies of the 20th century. In these works, Jewish authors from Ukraine, Lithuania, Russia, and Belarus, writing in Yiddish and Russian, tell the stories of ordinary people living on after the devastation of the Holocaust. Filled with memories, love, and loss, these narratives describe not only how people died, but also how they continued to live. Despite the official view in the USSR that wartime deaths of Jews resulted from the larger tragedy of Nazi Germany's invasion, Jews in the Soviet Union profoundly engaged with thinking about and memorializing the Holocaust, addressing it in a wide range of literary works. The significance of the texts they wrote, however, has remained largely neglected. This volume brings these compelling stories to light, providing students, teachers, researchers, and interested readers with critical, annotated translations of authors who wrote in richly diverse ways in the shadow of World War II. The voices brought together in this book create a distinct chorus of personal, idiosyncratic experiences of loss and provide new perspectives on questions fundamental to literature of the Holocaust, ...

The Holocaust - Doris Bergen
This complete history incorporates the ‘voices’ of the Holocaust, not only the perspectives of the victims, but also the perpetrators and bystanders. Bergen reveals the common misunderstanding that the Holocaust was aimed solely at Jews. In actual fact the Holocaust claimed the lives of 12 million people and incorporated many different social and ethnic groups. The Nazi program of destruction not only focused on Jews, but the disabled, Gypsies, Poles, Soviet POWs, homosexual men, Afro-Germans and Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Second World War enabled this carnage by conquering territories and people, turning soldiers and doctors into trained killers, and creating a veneer of legitimacy around vicious acts of ‘ethnic cleansing’ and genocide. Bergen’s pathbreaking study uses cutting-edge and original research to reveal how these attacks were linked in a terrifying web of violence and brings to light the real extent of the most notorious and far reaching campaign of genocide in modern history.

The Lost Music of the Holocaust - Francesco Lotoro
For more than thirty years Francesco Lotoro, an Italian pianist and composer has been on an odyssey to recover music written by the inmates of Adolf Hitler''s concentration camps and the gulags of Stalin''s Soviet Union. Between 1933, the year of the opening of the Dachau Lager in Germany, to Stalin''s death in 1953 when thousands of Soviet prisoners were released, Lotoro pieces together the human stories of survivors whose only salvation was their love of music.Across three decades of relentless investigation, his findings as captured in Lost Music of the Holocaust are extraordinary and historically important. Lotoro unearthed over eight thousand unpublished works of music, ten thousand documents (microfilms, diaries, notebooks, and recordings on phonographic recordings), as well as locating and interviewing many survivors who in a previous life had been trained musicians and composers. Be it a symphony, an opera, a simple folk song or even a gypsy melody, Lotor has travelled the globe to track them down. Many pieces were hastily scribbled down ow whatever the composer could find: food wrappings, a vegetable sack and even a train ticket stub.

Denying the Holocaust - Deborah Lipstadt
The powerful and deeply disturbing book that was at the heart of the David Irving libel case, now dramatized in the film Denial.The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the Earth is flat. Yet there are those who insist that the death of six million Jews in Nazi concentration camps is nothing but a hoax perpetrated by a powerful Zionist conspiracy. For years those who made such claims were dismissed as harmless cranks operating on the lunatic fringe. But they have now begun to gain a hearing in respectable arenas.In this famous book, reissued now to coincide with the film based on the legal case it provoked, Denial, Deborah Lipstadt shows how--despite tens of thousands of witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence--this irrational idea not only has continued to gain adherents but has become an international movement, with ''independent'' research centres, and official publications that promote a ''revisionist'' view of recent history. Denying the Holocaust argues that this chilling attack on the factual record not only threatens Jews but has an unsuspected power to dramatically alter the way that truth and meaning are transmitted from one generation to another.
