To document the connection between... Tracing the rise of racist and eugenic ideologies, Henry Friedlander explores in chilling detail how the Nazi program of secretly exterminating...

Nearly half a century after the Nazi massacre of the Jews in Europe, the Holocaust is now moving from the domain of experience to that of history. It is becoming the subject of recorded rather than living memory. Is real comprehension of the development and horror of the Nazi onslaught accessible to us? If so, through what intellectual processes or categories of understanding, and in the face of what temptations or diversions? How can we preserve, expand, and apply our knowledge of why and how barbarity came to prevail? What meaning can present... Winner of the 1992 Anisfield-Wolf Book Award

ISBN: 9780810111660 / Angielski / Miękka / 115 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book contains two narratives, each of which offers a clear and moving portrait of how German Jews came to terms with the changes in their lives brought on by the Nazis. In "Under the Nazi Regime, " Erich Leyens reflects on the effects of authoritarianism on everyday Germans. By contrast, Lotte Andor's "Memoirs of an Unknown Actress" focuses on the absurdity of an exile's life, telling her story with unusual humor and an appreciation of life's unexpected joys. Both stories present a deep understanding of how human beings learn to cope in the face of evil.
