The Pillar of Volozhin: Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin and the World of Nineteenth Century Lithuanian Torah Scholarship
ISBN: 9781618113016 / Angielski / Miękka / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The work of Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, the Neziv, ranks amongst the most often read rabbinic literature of the nineteenth century. His breadth of learning, unabashed creativity, and penchant for walking against the stream of the rabbinic commentarial establishment has made his commentaries a favorite amongst rabbinic scholars and scholars of rabbinics alike. Yet, to date, there has been no comprehensive and systematic attempt to place his intellectual oeuvre into its historical context--until now. In the Pillar of Volozhin, Gil Perl traces the influences which helped mold and shape the...

Sprawiedliwi. Jak Polacy ratowali Żydów...
ISBN: 9788362981601 / Polski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. ??Książka „Sprawiedliwi“ opowiada o Polakach, którzy podczas okupacji hitlerowskiej ratowali Żydów, a wielu z nich przypłaciło to nawet życiem (jak np. rodziny Ulmów, Kowalskich czy Baranków). Autor przypomina, że po to, by uratować jednego zbiega z getta, potrzebna była pomoc co najmniej dziesięciu wtajemniczonych Polaków. Hanna Krall wspominała łańcuszek aż 42 ludzi dobrej woli, którzy zaangażowali się w ocalenie jej życia jako małej dziewczynki. Konspiracja w obronie Żydów była więcej zjawiskiem znacznie szerszym niż się zwykło uważać.??Bogato...

Simon Dubnow's New Judaism: Diaspora Nationalism and the World History of the Jews
ISBN: 9789004260528 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this volume Robert Seltzer examines Simon Dubnow (1860-1941) as the most eminent East European Jewish historian of his day and a spokesperson for his people, setting out to define their identity in the future based on his understanding of their past. Rejecting Zionism and Jewish socialism espoused by contemporaries, he argued in "Letter on Old and New Judaism" that the Jews of the diaspora constituted a distinctive nationality deserving cultural autonomy in the liberal multi-national state he hoped would emerge in Russia. Seltzer traces the young Dubnow's personal encounter with European...

Jewish Life in Belarus: The Final Decade of the Stalin Regime, 1944-1953
ISBN: 9789633860250 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jewish life in Belarus after World War II was an inaccessible subject - officially regarded as being completely non-existent - and in the ideological atmosphere of the time research into the subject was impossible. Jewish community life had been wiped out by the Nazis, and its unreasonable attempt to come back to life was given short shrift by the communists. For more than half a century the truth about Jewish life during this period was sealed in archives to which researchers had no access. The Jews of Belarus preferred to keep silent rather than expose themselves to the spleen of the...

A Jewish Kapo in Auschwitz: History, Memory, and the Politics of Survival
ISBN: 9781611685763 / Angielski / Twarda / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eliezer Gruenbaum (1908-1948) was a Polish Jew denounced for serving as a Kapo while interned at Auschwitz. He was the communist son of Itzhak Gruenbaum, the most prominent secular leader of interwar Polish Jewry who later became the chairman of the Jewish Agency's Rescue Committee during the Holocaust and Israel's first minister of the interior. In light of the father's high placement in both Polish and Israeli politics, the denunciation of the younger Gruenbaum and his suspicious death during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war add intrigue to a controversy that really centers on the question of what...

Fresh Wounds: Early Narratives of Holocaust Survival
ISBN: 9780807872406 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Every student of the Holocaust knows the crucial importance of survivors' testimonies in reconstructing the crime. Most such accounts, however, were recorded years or even decades after the end of World War II. The survivor narratives that make up this volume, in contrast, were gathered immediately after the war. In 1946, Russian-born American psychologist David P. Boder interviewed 109 victims of Nazi persecution--the majority of them Jews--in "Displaced Persons" camps across Europe. The thirty-six accounts collected here possess an immediacy and authenticity that might otherwise be...
