Reading Auschwitz
ISBN: 9780761991861 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'My mind refuses to play its part in the scholarly exercise. I walk around in a daze, remembering occasionally to take a picture. I've heard that many people cry here, but I am too numb to feel. The wind whips through my wool coat. I am very cold, and I imagine what the wind would have felt like for someone here fifty years ago without coat, boots, or gloves. Hours later as I write, I tell myself a story about the day, hoping it is true, and hoping it will make sense of what I did and did not feel.' _From the Foreword Most of us learn of Auschwitz and the Holocaust through the writings of...

An Impossible Promise: A Love Story
ISBN: 9780988633902 / Angielski / Miękka / 618 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the true story of an undying love that is set against the backdrop of one of the most monstrous and bloody periods mankind has ever known.

Then in 1943, only one year after their marriage, the...

Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 11 and the Final Solution in Poland
ISBN: 9780141000428 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This detailed and harrowing study of a single group of mostly middle-aged policemen from provincial Germany has achieved classic status among histories of the Holocaust. Far from being demonic and hate-filled sadists, most of the group had no history of anti-semitism or of far right politics. Browning explores the motivation of these men and the horribly familiar mechanisms of man-management and group solidarity that reduced a team of ordinary men into a bestial instrument of madness. It is a book that offers no comfort to those who seek to explain the Holocaust in terms of German...
