The participation of many Lithuanians in the persecution of the local Jews is a topic that is hardly popular in the modern independent state of Lithuania. Pondering the Past counters Lithuanian historians’ attempt to justify the mass murder. Archival materials disprove various false accusations and myths that the Lithuanians fabricated against the Jews. Dr. Pinsk has traveled to Lithuania many times, both to the major cities and small towns. The war monuments and killing pits serve as a constant reminder of the tragedy of the Jews on Lithuanian soil. These emotional visits inspired him to reflect on the past and the present of Lithuania, whose Jewish population today numbers merely four thousand individuals. He surveys the enduring anti-Semitism of this country. He also relates the story of several hundred brave Lithuanians who saved some Jews and describes the new generation of Lithuanians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meir Pinsk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50805675884864,"sku":"7023-23","price":62.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/3340\/4992\/files\/i293468.20713.jpg?v=1791179901"},{"product_id":"peace-the-arabian-caricature","title":"Peace: The Arabian Caricature","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeginning with medieval Christian and Nazi caricatures for a historical perspective, Peace: The Arabian Caricature analyzes the very disturbing anti-Jewish caricatures found in mainstream Arab publications, including many post-Oslo newspapers.

The Indictment shows how the Arab war against Israel has taken shape as an expertly waged propaganda war, and how latent anti-Semitism contributes to the worlds acceptance of thinly veiled lies. Drawing on documented events and news sources, Auschwitz-survivor Sabina Citron takes a fearless look at the roots of Christian anti-Semitism and how it creates a receptive audience for the Arab propaganda war on Israel. Reviews: The Indictment – a modern day J’Accuse – constitutes a wealth of straight-shooting education on the Arab-Israeli confl ict, anti- Semitism and Islamic terrorism, shedding light on the “writing on the wall,” highlighting Western hypocrisy and the lethality of complacency, pacifi sm, ignorance of historical precedents and the “two states solution.” Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger Expert on US and Mideast politics With meticulous documentation and scalpel-edged prose, Sabina Citron’s Th e Indictment lays bare the full panoply of lies, distortions, slanders, and illusions that have shaped the public’s conception of Jewish history and the Jewish people’s ongoing struggle for the peace and security of Israel, its tiny, beleaguered national homeland. With a perspective on the Arab-Israeli confl ict that is both fresh and incisive, the book renders to Jewish historical truth the ‘day in court’ it has so long been denied. The case could not have found a more persuasive advocate. William Mehlman Israel representative, Americans for a Safe Israel Co-editor “ZionNet Magazine” In her tour de force, Sabina Citron, like Emile Zola before her, speaks truth to power and lies.

Dr. Arad now sets the record straight on the immense contribution of Soviet Jewry in the battle against Nazi Germany, a part of history long concealed by the Soviet government. After outlining the military progress of the war, the book documents the contributions of Soviet Jewry on the battlefronts and in the weapons development industry, in the ghetto undergrounds and in partisan warfare. In addition, the book records the Soviet government’s deliberate attempts to downplay the Jewish effort and the anti-Semitism that Jewish soldiers and partisan groups suffered at the hands of the Soviet establishment, even while giving their lives for their country.

This was in response to SS instructions that no prisoners should be found when Allied troops arrived. The “death marches” are infamous, but less well known is that there were also many transfers by train. These transports were frequently conducted from within the camps themselves. When the Allied armies smashed beyond the Rhine and began slicing into central Germany, in early April 1945, three trains left Bergen-Belsen. One reached its destination in Theresienstadt. The second was liberated by the Americans at a village near Farsleben in Germany. The last of the three transports, the one we were on, was the last train to leave Bergen-Belsen. It never reached its destination. Our train contained about twenty-five hundred Jews – men, women, and children – and a group of armed SS guards. We were all loaded into forty-five railway cars. Some were passenger cars and some were typical antiquated freight cars called “forty and eights,” signifying that these cars would accommodate forty men or eight horses. I was thirteen years old when I climbed with my mother and two brothers onto this train. The armed SS guards, striding around the platform, kept motioning for the prisoners to move, yelling over the noise of truck engines, “Vorwärts! Schneller! Move it! Faster! Get it moving! Get it moving!” The question on everyone’s lips was “Where are we going?”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wolf Holles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67706614088000,"sku":"7023-90","price":57.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/3340\/4992\/files\/i311791.90423.jpg?v=1791182447"}],"url":"https:\/\/israelbooks.com\/collections\/historical-antisemitism.oembed","provider":"Gefen Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
