Auschwitz, auschwitz… - max rodrigues garcia

Kniha o vůli k životu. Max Rodrigues Garcia (1924) přežil v letech 1943–1945 čtyři koncentrační tábory i pochod smrti; Američané ho osvobodili v rakouském Ebensee. Začal pro ně pracovat jako tlumočník a rozhodl se, že se do rodného Nizozemska už nevrátí. Byl přesvědčený, že z jeho židovské rodiny stejně nikdo nezůstal naživu. Po válce se chtěl stát Američanem se vším všudy – od imitace amerického vystupování a pití coca-coly po sdílení víry v zemi neomezených možností. Po několika pokusech o nový začátek si natrvalo vybral San Francisco. Teprve devět let po svém osvobození právě tam dokázal zakotvit. Garciova kniha je neobvyklým vzpomínáním. Autor totiž nevypráví jen o prožitém utrpení, ale především o důsledcích, které mělo pro celý jeho další život – a o tom, jak musel své představy měnit. V závěru jsou připojeny zpovědi jeho dětí a vnuků, což naznačuje, že se mu podařilo v životě uspět. Takže přece jen americký happy-end? Ne tak docela. Další generace totiž kriticky popisují, jak se vyrůstá s traumaty holocaustu. Přesto ani jejich svědectví nevyvolává skepsi a smutek. Naopak. Příběh Maxe Garcii je plný tvrdohlavé životní energie. Vypráví o tom, že i tak děsivou zkušenost lze zkrotit a znovu naplno žít. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The powerful chronicle of the women who used their sewing skills to survive the Holocaust, stitching beautiful clothes at an extraordinary fashion workshop created within one of the most notorious WWII death camps. At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp - mainly Jewish women and girls - were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. This fashion workshop - called the Upper Tailoring Studio - was established by Hedwig Höss, the camp commandant's wife, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin's upper crust. Drawing on diverse sources - including interviews with the last surviving seamstress - The Dressmakers of Auschwitz follows the fates of these brave women. Their bonds of family and friendship not only helped them endure persecution, but also to play their part in camp resistance. Weaving the dressmakers' remarkable experiences within the context of Nazi policies for plunder and exploitation, historian Lucy Adlington exposes the greed, cruelty, and hypocrisy of the Third Reich and offers a fresh look at a little-known chapter of World War II and the Holocaust.

I tattooed a number on her arm. She tattooed her name on my heart. In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust. Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl. For Lale - a dandy, a jack-the-lad, a bit of a chancer - it was love at first sight. And he was determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure this woman, Gita, did, too. So begins one of the most life-affirming, courageous, unforgettable and human stories of the Holocaust: the love story of the tattooist of Auschwitz. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

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. (patro.cz)

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.

My brother’s tears left a delicate, clean line on his face. I stroked his cheek, whispered, it’s really you… Dov and Yitzhak live in a small village in the mountains of Hungary, isolated both from the world and from the horrors of the war. But one day in 1944, everything changes. The Nazis storm the homes of the Jewish villagers and inform them they have one hour. One hour before the train will take them to Auschwitz. Six decades later, from the safety of their living rooms at home in Israel, the brothers finally break their silence to a friend who will never let their stories be forgotten. Malka Adler’s extraordinary novel of a family separated by the Holocaust and their harrowing journey back to each other is based on interviews with the brothers she grew up with by the Sea of Galilee. When they decided to tell their story, she was the only one they would talk to. Narrated in a poetic style reminiscent of Margaret Atwood, this is a visceral yet essential read for those who have found strength, solace and above all, hope, in books like The Choice, The Librarian of Auschwitz, and The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

For readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice: this is the story of the smallest library in the world - and the most dangerous. 'It wasn't an extensive library. In fact, it consisted of eight books and some of them were in poor condition. But they were books. In this incredibly dark place, they were a reminder of less sombre times, when words rang out more loudly than machine guns…' Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezín ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious books the prisoners have managed to smuggle past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the secret librarian of Auschwitz, responsible for the safekeeping of the small collection of titles, as well as the ‘living books' - prisoners of Auschwitz who know certain books so well, they too can be ‘borrowed' to educate the children in the camp. But books are extremely dangerous. They make people think. And nowhere are they more dangerous than in Block 31 of Auschwitz, the children's block, where the slightest transgression can result in execution, no matter how young the transgressor… The Sunday Times bestseller for readers of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice. Based on the incredible and moving true story of Dita Kraus, holocaust survivor and secret librarian for the children's block in Auschwitz. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

In 1942, young British soldier Arthur Dodd was taken prisoner by the German Army and transported to Oswiecim in Polish Upper Silesia. The Germans gave it another name, now synonymous with mankind's darkest hours. They called it Auschwitz. Forced to do hard labour, starved and savagely beaten, Arthur thought his life would end in Auschwitz. Determined to go down fighting, he sabotaged Nazi industrial work, risked his life to alleviate the suffering of the Jewish prisoners and aided a partisan group planning a mass break-out. This shocking true story sheds new light on the operations at the camp, exposes a hierarchy of prisoner treatment by the SS and presents the largely unknown story of the military POWs held there.

The harrowing, moving and poignant account of one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz: a girl who was only five years old when she was sent to an extermination camp, and was one of the few people who entered a gas chamber and lived to tell her story.'I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor's obligation to represent one and half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot speak. So I must speak on their behalf.'AN INCREDIBLE STORY OF COURAGE, RESILIENCE AND SURVIVAL Tova Friedman was one of the youngest people to emerge from Auschwitz. After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova was five when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, and almost six when she and her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck and sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau. During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale. As Nazi killing squads roamed Birkenau before abandoning the camp in January 1945, Tova and her mother hid among corpses. After being liberated by the Russians they made their way back to their hometown in Poland. Eventually Tova's father tracked them down and the family was reunited.In The Daughter of Auschwitz, Tova immortalizes what she saw, to keep the story of the Holocaust alive, at a time when it is in danger of fading from memory. She has used those memories that have shaped her life to honour the victims. Written with award-winning former war reporter Malcolm Brabant, this is an extremely important book. Brabant's thorough research has helped Tova recall her experiences in searing detail. Together they have painstakingly recreated Tova's extraordinary story about one of the worst ever crimes against humanity. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

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. Byla přeložena do několika jazyků, mimo jiné do němčiny, angličtiny a italštiny. Danuta Czechová (1922-2004) byla polskou historičkou a mnohaletou vědeckou pracovnicí Státního muzea v Osvětimi. Jak v Polsku, tak v zahraničí publikovala mnoho vědeckých prací, vystupovala v Německu jako odborná znalkyně v procesech s esesmany působícími v KT Auschwitz. Kniha Kalendář událostí v KT Auschwitz je jejím nejdůležitějším dílem. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

In 1939, Gustav Kleinmann, a Jewish upholsterer in Vienna, was seized by the Nazis. Along with his teenage son, Fritz, he was sent to Buchenwald in Germany. There began an unimaginable ordeal that saw the pair beaten, starved and forced to build the very concentration camp they were held in. When Gustav was set to be transferred to Auschwitz, a certain death sentence, Fritz refused to leave his side. Throughout the horrors they witnessed and the suffering they endured, there was one constant that kept them alive: the love between father and son. Based on Gustav's secret diary and meticulous archive research, this book tells his and Fritz's story for the first time - a story of courage and survival unparalleled in the history of the Holocaust.

THE MAN WHO BROKE INTO AUSCHWITZ is the extraordinary true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into Buna-Monowitz, the concentration camp known as Auschwitz III. In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was being held in a POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III. He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he was determined to witness what he could. He hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the night there on two occasions and experienced at first-hand the cruelty of a place where slave workers, had been sentenced to death through labour. Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced. After his own long trek right across central Europe he was repatriated to Britain. For decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the full story - a tale as gripping as it is moving - which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.

Zuzana Ruzickova grew up in 1930s Czechoslovakia dreaming of two things: Johann Sebastian Bach and the piano. But her peaceful, melodic childhood was torn apart when, in 1939, the Nazis invaded. Uprooted from her home, transported from Auschwitz to Hamburg to Bergen-Belsen, bereaved, starved, and afflicted with crippling injuries to her musician's hands, the teenage Zuzana faced a series of devastating losses. Yet with every truck and train ride, a small slip of paper printed with her favourite piece of Bach's music became her talisman.Armed with this 'proof that beauty still existed', Zuzana's fierce bravery and passion ensured her survival of the greatest human atrocities of all time, and would continue to sustain her through the brutalities of post-war Communist rule. Harnessing her talent and dedication, and fortified by the love of her husband, the Czech composer Viktor Kalabis, Zuzana went on to become one of the twentieth century's most renowned musicians and the first harpsichordist to record the entirety of Bach's keyboard works.Zuzana's story, told here in her own words before her death in 2017, is a profound and powerful testimony of the horrors of the Holocaust, and a testament in itself to the importance of amplifying the voices of its survivors today. It is also a joyful celebration of art and resistance that defined the life of the 'first lady of the harpsichord'- a woman who spent her life being ceaselessly reborn through her music.

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... (alza.cz)

Eddy de Wind, a Dutch doctor and psychiatrist, was shipped to Auschwitz with his wife Friedel, whom he had met and married at the Westerbork labour camp in the Netherlands. At Auschwitz, they made it through the brutal selection process and were put to work. Each day, each hour became a battle for survival.For Eddy, this meant negotiating with the volatile guards in the medical barracks. For Friedel, it meant avoiding the Nazis' barbaric medical experiments. As the end of the war approached and the Russian Army drew closer, the last Nazis fled, taking many prisoners with them, including Friedel. Eddy hid under a pile of old clothes and stayed behind. Finding a notebook and pencil, he began to write with furious energy about his experiences.Last Stop Auschwitz is an extraordinary account of life as a prisoner, a near real-time record of the daily struggle to survive but also of the flickering moments of joy Eddy and Friedel found in each other - passing notes through the fence, sometimes stealing a brief embrace. Documenting the best and the worst of humanity, it is a unique and timeless story that reminds us of what we as humans are capable of, but that there is hope, even in Hell. Thought to be the only complete book written within Auschwitz itself, it will linger with you long after the final page has been turned. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

When Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert was liberated in 1945, a Jewish-American soldier gave her a banknote on which he’d written ‘Good luck and happiness’. And when her great-grandson, Dov, decided to use social media to track down the family of the GI, 96-year-old Lily found herself making headlines round the world. Lily had promised herself that if she survived Auschwitz she would tell everyone the truth about the camp. Now was her chance.In Lily’s Promise she writes movingly about her happy childhood in Hungary, the death of her mother and two youngest siblings on their arrival at Auschwitz in 1944 and her determination to keep her two other sisters safe. She describes the inhumanity of the camp and the small acts of defiance that gave her strength. From there she and her sisters became slave labour in a munitions factory, and then faced a death march that they barely survived.Lily lost so much, but she built a new life for herself and her family, first in Israel and then in London. It wasn’t easy; the pain of her past was always with her, but this extraordinary woman found the strength to speak out in the hope that such evil would never happen again.'Utterly compelling, heartbreaking, truthful and yet redemptive, a memoir of the Holocaust, a testimony of irrepressible spirit and an unforgettable family chronicle, written in lucid prose by a truly remarkable woman about her life from Hungary to Auschwitz, Israel to London.

The untold story of the 999 young, unmarried Jewish women who were tricked into boarding a train in Poprad, Slovakia on March 25, 1942 that became the first official transport to Auschwitz.'Books such as this are essential: they remind modern readers of events that should never be forgotten' - Caroline MooreheadOn March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Filled with a sense of adventure and national pride, they left their parents' homes wearing their best clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report for government service. Instead, the young women-many of them teenagers-were sent to Auschwitz. Their government paid 500 Reichsmarks (about 160) apiece for the Nazis to take them as slave labour. Of those 999 innocent deportees, only a few would survive.The facts of the first official Jewish transport to Auschwitz are little known, yet profoundly relevant today. These were not resistance fighters or prisoners of war. There were no men among them. Sent to almost certain death, the young women were powerless and insignificant not only because they were Jewish-but also because they were female. Now, acclaimed author Heather Dune Macadam reveals their poignant stories, drawing on extensive interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an important addition to Holocaust literature and women's history.

Hormonální jógová terapie pro znovuaktivování hormonálního systému a odstranění symptomů menopauzy, PMS, polycystických vaječníků a neplodnosti. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Knihu Hormonální jógová terapie 2 vytvořila Dinah Rodrigues na základě vynikajících výsledků, kterých dosáhla pomocí hormonální jógy pro menopauzu. "Při rozvíjení této hormonální jógové terapie jsem využila stejné techniky, které jsem - s velmi dobrými výsledky - používala v hormonální jógové terapii pro menopauzu a andropauzu. V tomto případě jsem se však zaměřila na jiné žlázy - na hypofýzu, štítnou žlázu, játra, nadledvinky a zejména na slinivku břišní. V případě diabetu je také velmi důležité soustředit se na snižování stresu, neboť tento má velmi negativní vliv na naše zdraví a výrazně zvyšuje naši hladinu cukru v krvi. Sestavila jsem proto speciální druh dynamické a energické jógy, kterou jsem zkombinovala s pečlivě vybranými dechovými technikami (pránájámou), jež jsou zaměřeny na aktivování jednotlivých žláz. Pro zesílení účinku, kterých je možné dosáhnout pomocí ásan a dechových technik, jsem do Hormonální jógové terapie 2 zařadila také tibetskou techniku k nasměrovávání prány do konkrétních žláz, jež byly při daném cvičení aktivovány." Jelikož je hormonální jóga holistickou technikou, tak kromě svých nejdůležitějších pozitivních účinků, mezi něž patří znovuaktivování tvorby inzulinu ve slinivce, blahodárně působí na naše tělo jako celek, a to zejména na oblast ledvin, očí, krevního oběhu, dále léčí některé neuropatie, sexuální problémy, vysoký krevní tlak, hypoglykémii, hyperglykémii a mnoho dalších zdravotních problémů, což má velký význam pro diabetiky.

Tato kniha vám představuje přirozenou techniku hormonální jógové terapie k odstranění stresu a opětovnému aktivování tvorby testosteronu a ostatních hormonů ve vašem těle. Je skvělou pomůckou pro pravidelné cvičení doma a pomůže vám rychle dosáhnout pozitivních výsledků. V 50 letech mívají muži již mírně sníženou hladinu hormonů, a proto by již od 45 let měli začít preventivně udržovat hladinu svých hormonů na dobré úrovni, aby předešli symptomům nízké hladiny těchto hormonů. Avšak také mladší muži, kteří zažívají ve svém životě velký stres, by měli začít cvičit již dříve, neboť stres snižuje tvorbu hormonů a symptomy nízké hladiny hormonů se mohou objevovat i u mladších mužů. Tato kniha vám pomůže při vašem každodenním cvičení hormonální jógy, avšak konkrétní výsledky budou záviset na tom, kolikrát týdně ji budete cvičit. Každodenní cvičení vám přinese nejlepší výsledky a velmi rychle zvýší vaši hladinu testosteronu. (patro.cz)

Dinah Rodrigues je jógová terapeutka, která vystudovala filozofii a psychologii na Univerzitě Sao Paulo v Brazílii. Hormonální jógovou terapii rozvinula na základě mnoha let vlastního studia, praktikování a vyučování hathajógy. Prvotním cílem této hormonální jógové terapie, jež vychází z fyziologie a jógových technik, bylo pomoci ženám, které trpěly důsledky snížené hladiny hormonů během menopauzy. Nyní svou hormonální jógovou terapii rozšířila a vytvořila novou techniku hormonální jógy pro muže, která je zaměřena na zvládání stresu a odstraňování příznaků andropauzy. Tato terapie pomáhá mužům, kteří trpí velkým stresem a nízkou hladinou hormonů. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Román, který vznikl podle skutečného příběhu, začíná na jaře roku 1939, kdy do Prahy napochodovali němečtí vojáci a někdejší Československo se proměnilo v takzvaný protektorát Čechy a Morava. Jeho hlavní hrdina Herbert Levin, známý ve světě jako "Kouzelník z Osvětimi", se narodil v Německu a až do nástupu nacismu působil jako nejmladší člen berlínské burzy. Když nacisté Židům zakázali pracovat na burze, vydal se Levin na kouzelnickou dráhu. Po emigraci do Československa si v Praze otevřel kouzelnický obchod a po čase začal se svou ženou pod uměleckým jménem "Velký Nivelli" pořádat kouzelnická vystoupení. Jeho kouzelnická kariéra se slibně rozvíjela a jeho věhlas rostl, a to i mezi nacisty, kteří byli vším, co byť jen vzdáleně souviselo s magií a okultismem, přímo posedlí. Jenže ani "Velký Nivelli" nemohl uniknout údělu ostatních Židů a v roce 1941 byl deportován spolu se ženou a synem do Terezína. A v následujícím roce do Osvětimi… Právě o tom, co v táborech zažil a jakou roli přitom sehrálo jeho kouzelnické umění, vypráví strhující román Kouzelník z Osvětimi. Souběžně s osudem židovského kouzelníka autor rozvíjí příběh portugalského vojáka Francisca Latina, který bojuje v řadách španělské Modré divize po boku německé armády na půdě Sovětského svazu, kde se zamiluje od ruské dívky. Když se dozví, že byla převezena do osvětimského koncentračního tábora, je odhodlán pro svou vyvolenou udělat cokoli, jen aby ji vypátral a zachránil. Právě v táboře smrti se osudy obou protagonistů příběhu protnou. A stane se tak v době, kdy se v táboře připravuje povstání sonderkommanda, v němž oba sehrají svou roli… (knihydobrovsky.cz)
