After their zoo was bombed, Polish zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski managed to save over three hundred people from the Nazis by hiding refugees in the empty animal cages.

Defiance
ISBN: 9780195376852 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

A History of the Holocaust
ISBN: 9780853034278 / Angielski / Miękka / 494 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Half of the victims in Nazi concentration camps were Jews, yet, at the time, Jews constituted less than 1/4 of 1% of the world's population. The Holocaust was unique within the context of Jewish history. While Jews endured persecution throughout history, Roman procurators, Saracen holy warriors, and inquisitors usually held out the...

ISBN: 9780853034285 / Angielski / Miękka / 435 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While historical research on the Holocaust has been growing constantly, and has in the last few decades almost exploded, the perspective of the targeted group - the Jews - as an active player in the historical arena of the Holocaust, a player with its own historical background, has not been seriously integrated into the larger fabric. In a series of treatises, some of which are based on articles previously published in several languages, this book tries to analyze existing research from these neglected perspectives. The author also examines the ways in which The Holocaust is conceptualized,...

Here, as opposed to Auschwitz, people were not imprisoned for long periods or exploited as labourers, but were killed off as quickly and effectively as...
