Описание: This book is the first to bring together analyses of the full range of post-war testimony given by survivors of the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Auschwitz Sonderkommando were slave labourers in the gas chambers and crematoria, forced to process and dispose of the bodies of those who were murdered. They have been central to a number of key topics in post-war debates about the Shoah: collaboration, moral compromise and survival, resistance, representation, and the possibility of bearing witness. Their testimony however has mostly met with a reluctance to engage in depth with it. Moving from testimonies produced within the event, the Scrolls of Auschwitz and the Sonderkommando photographs, to testimonies given at trials and for video archives, and to the paintings of David Ol?re and the film Shoah by Claude Lanzmann, this book demonstrates the importance of their witnessing in the post-war memory of the Holocaust, and provides vital new insights into the questions of representation, memory, gender, and the Shoah.
The Sonderkommando--the "special squad" of enslaved Jewish laborers who were forced to work in the gas chambers and crematoria of Auschwitz-Birkenau--comprise one of the most fascinating and troubling topics within Holocaust history. As eyewitnesses to and unwilling abettors of the murder of their fellow Jews, they are the object of fierce condemnation even today. Yet it was a group of these seemingly compromised men who carried out the revolt of October 7, 1944, one of the most celebrated acts of Holocaust resistance. This interdisciplinary collection assembles careful investigations into how the Sonderkommando have been represented--by themselves and by others--both during and after the Holocaust.

Описание: A philosopher and a lawyer-economist examine the challenges of the last third of life. They write about friendship, sex, retirement communities, inheritance, poverty, and the depiction of aging women in films. These essays, or conversations, will help readers of all ages think about how to age well, or at least thoughtfully, and how to interact with older family members and friends.
Описание: This book explores how the women’s orchestra at Auschwitz-Birkenau has been remembered in both media and popular culture since the end of the Second World War. In particular it focuses on Fania Fenelon’s memoir, Playing for Time (1976), which was subsequently adapted into a film. Since then the publication has become a cornerstone of Holocaust remembrance and scholarship. Susan Eischeid therefore investigates whether it deserves such status, and whether such material can ever be considered reliable source material for historians. Using divergent source material gathered by the author, such as interviews with the other surviving members of the orchestra, this Pivot seeks to shed light on this period of women’s history, and questions how we remember the Holocaust today.

The orthodox narrative of what transpired at the infamous Auschwitz Concentration/Labor Camp during the Second World War solidified into its current version in the environs of the Great Auschwitz Trial staged at Frankfurt, Germany, during the mid-1960s. But how exactly did we get there?
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the occupation of Auschwitz by the Red Army in January 1945, Carlo Mattogno wrote an article titled "Auschwitz: Half a Century of Propaganda," which investigated the early history of claims made about Auschwitz. The present study greatly expands on this theme.
It starts out by analyzing radio messages sent by the SS from Auschwitz to their Berlin headquarters between early 1942 and early 1943. Many of these messages were intercepted and decrypted by the British, giving them a fairly accurate picture of what was going on at Auschwitz. Spoiler alert: the biggest drama unfolding there was a raging typhus epidemic.
Next, Mattogno juxtaposes to these SS messages the missives sent by the Polish underground to their government-in-exile in London, which painted a radically different image contradicting subsequently established facts and even at times themselves.
The largest section of this study analyzes the statements of more than fifty witnesses, most of them made during the war and in the immediate postwar period. The focus is on those passages in their statements that contain claims about mass murder by means of gas chambers. The bottom line of this review is that none of the early witnesses reviewed here fully confirms the current orthodox narrative. Instead, their stories are rife with propaganda absurdities and fantastic rumors.
The fourth section of this study analyzes the flawed early attempts by historians to write a consistent history of the Auschwitz Camp, while the last section demonstrates how modern historians twist the record in order to sustain the fiction that the orthodoxy's fake version of "the facts" about Auschwitz is somehow "well-documented."

Описание: The book`s thesis is that nothing human, natural or divine guarantees respect for the ethical values and commitments that are most needed in contemporary human existence, but nothing is more important than our commitment to defend them, for they remain as fundamental as they are fragile, as precious as they are endangered.

Описание: Gendered Testimonies of the Holocaust considers the gendered dimension of the phenomenon of writing as a means of speaking to or for others and for oneself in life-affirming identity. Rather than reading testimony as an internalization of death, this book demonstrates that testimony involves transformation of muteness into written life.

Описание: The front pew in a Church is a special place for sure. Its the front row to the Biggest Stage in this world and the seats in the first row dont cost a dime; but they do "cost" something. When you look across the front pews of Christian Churches, youll see a very diverse crowd. On any given Sunday, youll see senior citizens, young Couples with very young Children, international Families, and folks of every race and walk of life. You might see an eager Family with a baby clad in beautiful white attire looking forward to their trip to the Holy Water font for a Baptism. Or, it could be someone much older in beautiful white attire about to plunge backwards in that same font. You might see someone at Church for the first time ever (or in a long time) with eyes wide open with the Spiritual curiosity of a newborn being "born-again". Regardless of who you see in the front row, all have paid a price beyond money to sit in those first pews. Time, tribulation, surrender, loss, gain, charity, endurance, patience, perseverance, hope, love, Faith, etc. are just a few of the prices that have been paid by these and others to be able to sit in this row. And, it didnt come cheap. Like when Jesus Christ went to the Cross for all of us, it was by His stripes that we were Healed (Isaiah 53:5); and, it was by this worlds stripes that these people were Redeemed. The following are just a handful of "stories" of those that may or may not sit in the front row at your Church. While nobody deserves the right (the Mercy) to sit in the front pews, all have been given their tickets to the front row by the Price (the Grace) that Jesus paid for us on the Cross. These tickets, while freely-given also must be "kept" through hearing Gods Call, being Faithfully-Obedient to God, and exuding a ruthless Trust in Him. Reckless Love made those pews available to all of us, so what Choice do we really have? God bless and Godspeed!!!

Описание:
The years between 1933 and 1945 found more than six million innocent Jews persecuted, tortured, and murdered by the wicked Nazis and their ruthless accomplices.
But tens of thousands of brave Jews miraculously escaped the Nazi inferno. The same unwavering faith and determination that kept them going through the darkest days was their guiding light to make a fresh new start after the war. Many of these survivors arrived in North America, where they settled down, found jobs, and raised beautiful families.
This booklet is not merely another Holocaust memoir. It's the undertaking of a descendant of two of those survivors. Eleven-year-old Arielle Pfefer, from Teaneck, New Jersey, took it upon herself to record for the sake of history the horrifying testimonies of her great-grandparents.
Arielle didn't stop there. She encouraged her peers to interview their own grandparents or great-grandparents and document their testimonies of suffering and survival. This project became a source of unique connection between these youngsters and the last survivors of the Holocaust.
May this work be a lasting proof of the Nazi atrocities and the resilience of the eternal Jewish spirit.
Описание: This book investigates the memory of the Holocaust in Sweden and concentrates on early initiatives to document and disseminate information about the genocide during the late 1940s until the early 1960s.
