On the face of it, this book is a travelogue, a journal by a Jew from New York traveling in today's Germany. A very funny story indeed. But this is just part of the story, the smallest part of it. For I Sleep in Hitlers Room is also a book about modern anti-Semitism, about hate that refuses to disappear, about a disease that wont get cured and a curse that wont let go. Traveling across Germany and seeking out that elusive quality that is the German character, playwright and journalist Tuvia Tenenbom wonders whether he has identified it in any one of several striking social phenomena the proclivity of Germans to join clubs and group activities; how their aptitude for visual design shapes their architecture and their daily life; how their daily life is suffused with soccer and beer, the omnipresent beverage for all occasions; how they proudly self-define themselves by their achievements in precision technology; and, what is most disturbing to this son of Holocaust survivors, how their crushing awareness of their dark history coexists with virulent anti-Semitism and a stubborn obsession with Israel. Why is Europe, the cradle of our civilization, so obsessed with Jews? Read this book to find the answer. Tenenbom integrates deep seriousness with the most lighthearted comic touch in this critical but affectionate look at both left and right in contemporary German politics and society. I Sleep in Hitlers Room will make you think, make you worry, make you cry, and make you laugh out loud. It is a book you will never forget.

Lonka survived with her mother Fella the years of the Holocaust in the Krakow Ghetto and the concentration and extermination camps Plaszów, Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and Terezin. Her father, a baby brother and extended family members perished. For 70 years she was married to Dr. Yanek (Jerzy) Nass (1927–2021). Yanek survived with his parents first in an underground bunker in the Polish town Jaworów, today Ukraine. He witnessed the atrocities committed by the Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators. He was one of a small group of boys who fled briefly to the forests after joining Artek Hener. Most of the boys were killed. Lonka and Yanek immigrated to Israel, where they rebuilt their lives. THE LONKA PROJECT is a photographic tribute to the last Holocaust survivors around the world. Since 2019, hundreds of professional photographers, many world leaders in their respective fields, volunteered their talent not only to capture the human subjects artistically, but also to draw lessons and serve as memory keepers for tomorrow’s generations who will never know a Holocaust survivor. For the participating survivors around the world who generously opened their homes and hearts to the photographers, The Lonka Project carries their global message for tolerance, humanity and compassion in a world not rid of antisemitism and ethnic hatred. The rhythms of life do not mitigate the horrors of the past, yet the survivors continue to stand as a symbol of optimism. This book celebrates resilience and the power of life. We participating photographers believe it is our duty to shine a spotlight on the last living witnesses of the Holocaust, because truth cannot be defeated. Jim Hollander and Rina Castelnuovo Hollander editors As a publisher for over 40 years, I am used to receiving many book projects. Very few grab my attention at first sight.

This escape in present-day Belarus was planned and executed by approximately 240 Jewish prisoners under the noses of their Nazi captors. In her book, the author has identified most of the escapees and found that at least 133 survived the escape. With the help of a genealogist, she located their descendants all over the world in order to write their inspiring pre and post-war life stories. She has also explored the important role of the nearby Bielski partisans in triggering the escape as well as the process of interviewing the second generation survivors.

The book's 716 pages including 16 pages of color photographs Tunnel of Hope: Escape from the Novogrudok Forced Labor Camp relates the extraordinary story of a mass escape of 240 or so Jews, inmates of a German slave labor camp in a former courthouse in the town of Novogrudok, today in Belarus, in September 1943.

What is baseless hatred? And how does this basic human emotion affect our relationships, our communities, and our world? In this fascinating study, pharmacological researcher Rene H. Levy looks through a scientific, sociological, and religious lens at the causes and effects of baseless hatred, and offers a prescription for preventing and repairing its damaging consequences. Levy examines the psychological and neurobiological bases of baseless hatred, and shows how it destroys interpersonal relationships. Baseless hatred is understood within Jewish tradition to have been the cause of the longest exile of the Jewish people from the Land of Israel; Levy discusses the impact of baseless hatred – both from without and from within – on the State of Israel, including an analysis of Islamist anti-Zionist hostility and the more recent Western antisemitic opposition as well as the new existential questions posed by the post-Zionist movement. Finally, Levy shows how the cement that has kept the Jewish people united as a nation, known as arevut, “mutual responsibility,” proves to be the remedy for the devastating problem of baseless hatred. Visit this book's website at www.baselesshatred.com Reviews: “Hatred was at the core of the Holocaust and all its methods of annihilation. Yet in the wake of the Holocaust, hatred did not become a significant animus for the Jewish people. Every generation must evaluate the meaning of the Holocaust within the continuum of Jewish history. Rene Levy’s book, which deals systematically with the phenomenon of hatred – and specifically with baseless hatred – presents a gripping challenge: what are the ways and means for dealing with the dynamics of disputes and divisiveness, particularly expressions of baseless hatred, within the Jewish people? This is an opening for a vital discussion for all of us.” Avner Shalev , Chairman, Yad Vashem Directorate; Brigadier General, IDF “Rene Levy’s book Baseless Hatred attempts to pinpoint the fundamental source of evil and find ways to reduce it.… Levy analyzes the Jewish people as a whole, focusing with surgical precision on the State of Israel. Delving deep into various sources, historiosophy, theology, and the Zionist endeavor, this work presents an analysis of hatred among the people of Israel, including that which led to 1,878 years of exile. This book will find its place in the libraries of readers at the highest level. With its direct relevance to current events, Baseless Hatred will serve as a springboard for vital public discussions.” Professor Shevah Weiss , former Speaker of the Knesset; former Chairman, Yad Vashem Council “Hatred is a harsh sentiment that defies exact definition, and yet it is encountered by all of us at some point in our lives. Baseless hatred is identified by Jewish tradition as the cause for the destruction of the Second Temple, and thus as emblematic for the substantial personal and collective harm that has ensued. In its most extreme form, this kind of hate aims to exterminate one’s fellow man. Even when it is not totally eradicated, baseless hatred can be channeled and restrained. Levy’s book is an effective jumping-off point for discussion of this important subject.” Professor Dan Michman , Head of the International Institute for Holocaust Research and Incumbent of the John Najmann Chair of Holocaust Studies, Yad Vashem; Chair, Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research, Bar-Ilan University\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rene H.

Bob and Barbara Epstein, Outdoor Florida The Jews Secret Fleet is full of stories as dramatic as that of the Exodus. It reminds us that American Jews played a small, yet significant role in the creation of the Jewish state. Four of the American vessels became the first warships in the fledgling Israeli navy. The bravery displayed by these American volunteers for Aion should not be forgotten, and this book helps make certain they will receive their historical due. Henry Srebrnik, Washington Jewish Week I am pleased to know that a book covering your remarkable experiences will be published in the near future and preserve for all time one of the most glorious chapters in Jewish history. What miracles you accomplished against such overpowering odds, in the face of such dangers, is a story that has few parallels and will be an inspiration to our people forever. Leon Uris, Author of The Exodusr Dramatic, moving and engrossing, this is the story of some 200 young American seamen who sailed the so-called illegal ships and carried half of the 70,000 survivors of the Holocaust to the land of Israel. With careful documentation and often poignant and amusing anecdotes, Joseph Hochstein and Murray Greenfield have recorded the historic role that American volunteers played in the birth of Israel - an inspiring and exciting part of history that must never be forgotten.

Her commitment to the cause of the refuseniks and her involvement with them once the gates of emigration opened and they arrived in Israel eventually led to an exploration of her own family history. Together with her cousin, she embarked on a roots journey to Zagare, a little shtetl on the border between Lithuania and Latvia. Here she met Isaac Mendelssohn, the sole survivor of the town's Jewish community. Unexpectedly, a meaningful and fruitful relationship developed between Isaac, a group of descendants and a group of local inhabitants, a relationship always shadowed by memories of the slaughter in 1941 of Zagare's Jewish population by Nazis and local Lithuanian collaborators. The culmination came in 2012 with a joint project of the two groups to erect and dedicate a memorial plaque in the center of the town. As part of her desire to accept Zagare, Sara Manobla followed up on the story of an elderly Jewish woman and her granddaughter who had been rescued and hidden by a Zagarean family during the Nazi occupation. She tracked down the granddaughter, now living in Jerusalem, and her testimony resulted in the Zagarean family being posthumously honored by Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority as Righteous among the Nations. The book ends on a note of hope and reconciliation, as this account of a search for roots leads to a coming to terms with today’s highly charged relationship between Lithuanians and Jews. Reviews: Zagare – Litvaks and Lithuanians Confront the Past is an elegantly written account of the author's personal discovery of her family's Litvak past, the legacy of a destroyed Jewish community and its message for Lithuanians. A superb storyteller, Manobla draws the reader in brilliantly as she herself transforms from someone disconnected with her past into a kind of Jewish Sherlock Holmes, uncovering the horror of the Holocaust and the heroism of a few families while harboring a sense of hope for the future. Zagare is a book that should be read not only by Litvaks and Lithuanians, but by anyone interested in the history, present and future of the relationship between Lithuania, Israel and the Jewish people. STEVE LINDE (Editor in chief, Jerusalem Post) The call of ancestral voices drew British-born Sara Manobla from her home in Israel to the Lithuanian country town of Zagare, where a long-established shtetl community met its end in 1941, massacred in the town square and nearby forests. Seven decades later, her mission was the erection of a memorial in that once blood-soaked square. Although local collaborators had joined in the Nazi killing, she rejected thoughts of revenge or a settling of accounts in favour of accepting, acknowledging, remembering and educating. At the memorial's unveiling ceremony, attended by the President of Lithuania, she did not back away from the sensitive issue of local collaboration, but went on to pay tribute to the heroic few who risked their lives to save their Jewish neighbours. Thanks in no small way to her efforts, Yad Vashem has honoured them as Righteous among the Nations. Manobla's book chronicles her journey from initial genealogical curiosity to a healing conclusion in which the whole town participated. Writing in a spirit of reconciliation, she brings much-needed light to the darkness of the past. Zagare has hope at its heart. It is an uplifting story. THEO RICHMOND (Author Konin – a quest) I read it through with great pleasure and admiration. A page-turner! The story of how Lithuanians and Jewish descendants of Zagare worked together to honor the murdered Jews and remember the rescuers is heart-warming. ELLEN CASSEDY (Author We Are Here) I have just finished this wonderful book. Although not a Zagarean, I was moved to tears, especially in the last chapter of the insight and understanding. I read it almost holding my breath, although clearly knowing the outcome in general. Beautifully written, with passion and felicity. And that's not for an official comment just my own feelings and knowledge of how close I am to the issue after looking at my own family's past. The author is a historian who doesn't easily give up the fight to get to the truth. And yes, now's the time for latkes and tzimmes. ZVI PANTANOVITZ Broadcaster, Kol Israel) The basic theme running through Sara Manobla’s compelling new book, “Zagare: Litvaks and Lithuanians Confront the Past”, is coming to terms with history – on a personal level in Manobla’s case, and in respect of a whole town, where Zagare itself is concerned. As we accompany her along her twin paths of discovery, we find the two strands merging and becoming one. Lithuania, its chequered past during the Nazi and subsequent Soviet domination of the Baltic, and its difficulty in accepting and dealing with the involvement of its citizens in the Holocaust, provides the background. In “Zagare”, Manobla takes her readers by the hand and leads them, by way of her personal testimony, into the fascinating story of how at least one Lithuanian town made a positive effort to reconcile itself to its own history. At the same time she reveals how she discovered and, in a sense, came to accept her own roots. It makes for a captivating, engrossing read.

In the highest tradition of the soldier-statesman, Dr. Israel Eldad advocates a form of Zionism that is unpopular in conventional society. He condemns “establishmentarian,” “social-club” Zionism as a belittling of Jewish history and a threat to Jewish lives. In its place, he calls for a revolutionary creed – one that dares assert its right to the Jewish homeland; not as defined by diplomats, politicians and Security Council Resolutions, but in biblical, historical terms. He boldly declares that Jewish “diplomacy” failed to save millions of European Jews, and he accuses world leaders of inviting new Holocausts by denying history’s lessons and ignoring its imperatives. He warns the Jewish people that it can rely only on its own forces, and he offers a solution to the Arab problem in the Middle East.

'I wanted to share the story through the eyes of a young boy because many of us felt like children in the presence of the late Pontiff. I also believe that my story, which explains the lessons of the Pope, would be better understood by children reading what happened during that Friday night Shabbat dinner. By children understanding the truths expressed in this book, I am confident that they may be better able to share the Pope's lessons. It is my wish that it will build bridges among all people on Earth.” -Jacques Shore, 2006 Reviews: Friday Night with the Pope is the second children's book written by Jacques J. M. Shore. His first children's book was the award winning, Menorah in the Night Sky. As an adult, Shore, who is an attorney, and his mother Lena, a Holocaust survivor, actually met with Pope John Paul II. Working from this real life event, Shore has crafted a compelling story for children about eleven-year-old Jacob and his mother Lena who were invited to have a Shabbat dinner with Pope John Paul II. Entertaining and educational, this book is well suited for new readers, and as a read aloud book. Although technically a children's book, this story will also delight adults. The text is printed in a 14-point font. This larger than normal font size will help to make it easier for new readers to decipher unfamiliar words. Friday Night with the Pope is a charming book about inter-faith relations, and it is wonderfully illustrated by Amalia Hoffman. Her illustrations are warm and inviting, offering the opportunity for younger readers to follow the story from the pictures alone. Within the body of the story presented in Friday Night with the Pope, Shore talks briefly about the steps that Pope John Paul II has taken to improve Jewish - Catholic relations, and he explains a bit about the Pope's history and his teaching about unity. He also discusses some of the aspects of the Shabbat dinner by having Jacob recite the Kiddush. This is all done without being preachy, or pushing the religious elements of the story. Rather what comes across in this story is that the Pope was a pleasant man, who sincerely wanted to encourage peace and unity among all people. For ages 5-9.

It reminds us that American Jews played a small, yet significant role in the creation of the Jewish state. Four of the American vessels became the first warships in the fledgling Israeli navy.

We are awed at the hunters’ determination to locate and bring these war criminals to justice for their unspeakable acts… If you choose to read this book, do so with the expectation that it will engender a range of emotions—anger, distress, disbelief— which, it is to say, pale in comparison to what Berek and his fellow prisoners experienced at the hands of the Nazis in the Sobibor camp.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Lev","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67706586333504,"sku":"408-1 \/ g408n","price":68.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/3340\/4992\/files\/i17197.03127.jpg?v=1791180974"},{"product_id":"two-flags","title":"Two Flags","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Warsaw ghetto uprising was planned and accomplished by two organizations, the ZOB (Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa – Jewish Fighting Organization) and the ZZW (Zydowska Zwiazek Wojskowy – Jewish Military Union).

He is Victor Kugler, the Mr. Kraler of the diary. The principal business partner of Otto Frank, Victor Kugler assumed managerial control of the Franks’ Amsterdam spice-importing business when Nazi persecution forced the Frank family into hiding. It was Victor Kugler who kept the business going and obtained food rations under what was the harshest German wartime occupation in all of Western Europe. Without Victor Kugler, Anne Frank and her family would have starved to death a month after going into hiding. For this heroism, Victor Kugler himself was arrested and sent to a series of German labor camps in Holland where he survived by his wits and finally escaped a few weeks before the end of the war. Several years after the end of the war, when the Dutch spice business collapsed following the Indonesian revolution that nationalized Dutch holdings, Victor Kugler emigrated to Toronto, Canada. There, he led a quiet life where nobody knew who he was and what he had done during the war. Only twenty years later he began to reveal his story. The modern-day saga of this Righteous Gentile, who was honored as such at Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority, is told here in semi-documentary style, largely in his own words as told to Torontonian Eda Shapiro, herself of Eastern European Jewish background; and by many others who knew him, as compiled by well-known Toronto writer-journalist Rick Kardonne.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rick Kardonne and Eda Shapiro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67706586693952,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/3340\/4992\/files\/i19547.2503.jpg?v=1791180998"},{"product_id":"to-survive-sobibor","title":"To Survive Sobibor","description":"\u003cp\u003eDov Freiberg was only twelve when he was hurled into the crushing events of the German occupation of Poland.

It is well documented that Lithuanians, before and during the Nazi occupation, actively killed Jews on their own initiative. However, what is uncovered here is that under Nazi rule Lithuanian officials and church leaders were not merely puppets of the Germans, but showed great ability to maneuver and resist German directives in nearly every other realm, with the sole exception of executing the Final Solution. Although this scholarly exposition shines light on the extraordinary acts of a precious few Lithuanians in assisting Jews, it also exposes the far more typical acts of the many, whose indifference, hatred, or self-interest made genocide possible in Lithuania. Reviews: “A significant addition to contemporary Holocaust scholarship and contemporary Lithuanian historical writings. Bound to be controversial, she explores all of the important issues and shows the large measure of cooperation between the Germans and the native Lithuanian population in the implementation of the ‘Final Solution to the Jewish Problem,’ despite the important efforts of Lithuanian leaders to finesse their limited power to preserve the promise of Lithuanian independence. She easily dismisses the all too convenient explanation of contemporary Lithuanian historians that Jews were overly involved in Communist domination during the brief interval of Soviet occupation and she probes the deeper exploration of Lithuanian anti-Semitism. Throughout, her scholarship is sound, her reasoning sharp and her writing crisp. The work is unsettling in the most important sense of the term. It will disturb those who seek to exonerate Lithuanians and press all the responsibility on the Germans and the Jews. It forces a new confrontation with the historical record and for this we should be most grateful.” – Michael Berenbaum Executive Editor, Encyclopaedia Judaica Second Edition Director, Sigi Ziering Institute, American Jewish University, Los Angeles “Karen Sutton’s study of the Holocaust in Lithuania is a must for anyone wishing to understand the political and social complexities of this poignant and tragic chapter in Jewish history.

The author, born in Puitusk (some fifty kilometers from Warsaw), skillfully and honestly tells of the painful dramas in which he was involved in his youth in Poland during World War II. The true story unfolds of two young Jewish men who took Aryan identities, at the time of the Polish uprising and when Warsaw had been abandoned. Severin Gabriel, who was in hiding in Warsaw, and who survived with the aid of his brother and of Lady Wanda and other Polish friends, casts a personal light on his life-shattering experiences, which are at once unique and also reminiscent of so many war stories. With poignancy an intimacy, he reenacts his fears and nightmares and those of his comrades in the city besieged by German occupying forces. In this diary-memoir, the author’s fight to survive during the Polish uprising in the early autumn of 1944, the deportation of the Polish residents of Warsaw at the beginning of October 1944, and events leading up to their return to the ruined city, are given special attention.

Escape near death in the icy waters of Hungary and hide from SS Officers on a blistering winter’s eve in deep woods with Rachel and Yankel, as they fight to survive another day. Share the love between Ruth and Beryl, as they reunite in a union of marriage under a chuppa, following the days after Germany is liberated. Fortunate in their misfortune, they find the reserves within themselves not only to physically survive, but also to emerge without hatred in their hearts.

Mother was holding a long tube, which she had filled with the few pieces of jewelry she still had from her wedding. She looked at us, her daughters, and removed the earrings I loved so much. She dug a small hole in the ground, wrapped the tube in numerous layers of cloth, placed it in the earth, and we all joined in to cover the hole. “This is so you, my dear daughters, will have something to start with when you return.” From her poverty-stricken, yet happy childhood in Hungary, when the author was strongly influenced by her family and community's Zionist ideology, to the hell of Auschwitz and her escape from the Death March in the final days of war, to the tumultuous period in Palestine before the establishment of the State of Israel, Rachel Bernheim-Friedman's life was and is filled with passion, determination, and a strong will to survive and build—to build a better life, a Jewish state, and a hopeful future for her children and grandchildren.
