A rediscovered classic of Holocaust literature translated for the first time - from journalist, poet and survivor József Debreczeni 'A literary diamond... A holocaust memoir worthy of Primo Levi' THE TIMES 'It should be required reading' JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER, author Everything Is Illuminated 'A timely reminder of man's inhumanity to man' JUNG CHANG, author of Wild Swans When József Debreczeni arrived in Auschwitz in 1944, had he been selected to go 'left', his life expectancy would have been approximately forty-five minutes. One of the 'lucky' ones, he was sent to the 'right', which led to twelve horrifying months of incarceration and slave labour in a series of camps, ending in the 'Cold Crematorium' - the so-called hospital of the forced labour camp Dörnhau, where prisoners too weak to work were left to die. Debreczeni beat the odds and survived. Very soon he committed his experiences to paper in Cold Crematorium, one of the harshest and powerful indictments of Nazism ever written. This haunting memoir, rendered in the precise and unsentimental prose of an accomplished journalist, compels the reader to imagine human beings in circumstances impossible to comprehend intellectually. First published in Hungarian in 1950, it was never translated due to the rise of McCarthyism, Cold War hostilities and antisemitism. This important eyewitness account that was nearly lost to time will be available in fifteen languages, finally taking its rightful place among the great works of Holocaust literature more than seventy years after it was first published.

Between three and four thousand civilians, primarily Serbian and Jewish, were murdered in the Novi Sad massacre of 1942. Hungarian soldiers and gendarmes carried out the crime in the city and surrounding areas, in territory Hungary occupied after the German attack on Yugoslavia. The perpetrators believed their acts to be a contribution to a new order in Europe, and as a means to ethnically cleanse the occupied lands. In marked contrast to other massacres, the Horthy regime investigated the incident and tried and convicted the commanding officers in 1943-44. Other trials would follow. During the 1960s, a novel and film telling the story of the massacre sparked the first public open debate about the Hungarian Holocaust. This book examines public contentions over the Novi Sad massacre from its inception in 1942 until the final trial in 2011. It demonstrates how attitudes changed over time toward this war crime and the Holocaust through different political regimes and in Hungarian society. The book also views how the larger European context influenced Hungarian debates, and how Yugoslavia dealt with memories of the massacre.

«Crematorio frío es una obra literaria esencial y un testimonio histórico de insuperable importancia. Debería ser de lectura obligatoria». Jonathan Safran Foer Una joya extraviada de la literatura húngara sobre el Holocausto que ha permanecido inédita durante décadas. Un testimonio inigualable de Auschwitz. József Debreczeni, un prolífico periodista y poeta en lengua húngara, llegó a Auschwitz en 1944 con treinta y nueve años; si hubiera sido seleccionado para ir «a la izquierda», su esperanza de vida habría sido de cuarenta y cinco minutos. «Afortunado», fue enviado «a la derecha», lo que supuso doce aterradores meses de esclavitud en una serie de campos de concentración, culminando en el Crematorio Frío --el supuesto campo-hospital de Dörnhau, donde los prisioneros demasiado débiles esperaban su ejecución. Debreczeni registró sus experiencias en estas memorias, una de las acusaciones más crueles y despiadadas contra el nazismo jamás escritas. Este escalofriante documento, redactado con el estilo conciso y desprovisto de sentimentalismo de un periodista consumado, es un testimonio de calidad literaria incomparable. Publicadas por primera vez en 1950 en húngaro, nunca se tradujeron debido al macartismo, las hostilidades de la Guerra Fría y el antisemitismo de la época. Ahora, más de setenta años después, esta obra maestra que estuvo a punto de perderse en el tiempo se publica en más de quince idiomas, ocupando finalmente su legítimo lugar entre las más grandes obras de la literatura del Holocausto. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A lost jewel of Hungarian literature about the Holocaust that went unpublished for decades. A harrowing first-hand testimony of surviving Auschwitz. József Debreczeni, a prolific Hungarian journalist and poet, was deported to Auschwitz in 1944, at the age of thirty-nine. Had he been ordered to go to "the left," his life would have been over in approximately forty-five minutes. Instead, he was "lucky" and was told to go "right," condemning him to twelve horrifying months of slave labor in a series of concentration camps. His final stop was the Cold Crematorium -- the so-called hospital camp of Dörnhau, where the weakest prisoners were sent to await execution. These memoirs recount Debreczeni's experiences and amount to one of the boldest and most merciless condemnations of Nazism ever written. This chilling document, written in the concise and unsentimental style of a practiced journalist, is a first-hand testimony that stands up to the highest literary standards. First published in 1950 in Hungarian, Debreczeni's account went untranslated in a climate of McCarthyism, the Cold War and anti-Semitism. More than seventy years later, this lost masterpiece has now been released in more than fifteen languages, finally taking its place among the greatest examples of Holocaust literature.

Until now, there has been little scholarly attention given to the ways in which Eastern European Holocaust fiction can contribute to current debates about transnational and transgenerational memory. Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav literary narratives about the Holocaust offer a particularly interesting case because time and again Holocaust memory is represented as intersecting with other stories of extreme violence: with the suffering of the non-Jewish South-Slav population during the Second World War, with the fate of victims of Stalinist terror, and with the victims of ethnic cleansing in the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. This book examines the emergence and transformations of Holocaust memory in the socialist Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav eras. It discusses literary texts about the Holocaust by Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav writers, situating their oeuvre in the historical and discursive context in which it emerged and paying attention to its reception at the time. The book shows how in the writing of different generational groups (the survivor generation, the 1.5, and the second and third generations), the Holocaust is a motif for understanding the nature of extreme violence, locally and globally. The book offers comparative studies of several authors as well as readings of the work of individual writers. It uncovers forgotten authors and discusses internationally well-known and translated authors such as Danilo Kiš and David Albahari. By focusing on work by Jewish and non-Jewish authors of three generations, it sheds light on the ethical and aesthetical aspects of the transgenerational transmission of Holocaust memory in the Yugoslav context. As such, this book will appeal to both students and scholars of Holocaust studies, cultural memory studies, literary studies, cultural history, cultural sociology, Balkan studies, and Eastern European politics.

Death, Ritual and Belief, now in its third edition, explores many important issues related to death and dying, from a religious studies perspective, including anthropology and sociology. Using the motif of 'words against death' it depicts human responses to grief by surveying the many ways in which people have not let death have the last word, not simply in terms of funeral rites but also in memorials, graves, and in ideas of ancestors, souls, gods, reincarnation and resurrection, whether in the great religious traditions of the world or in more local customs. He also examines bereavement and grief, experiences of the presence of dead, near-death experiences, pet-death and the symbolic death played out in religious rites. Updated chapters have taken into account new research and include additional topics in this new edition, notably assisted dying, terrorism, green burial, material culture, death online, and the emergence of Death Studies as a distinctive field. Case studies range from Anders Breivik in Norway, to the Princess of Wales, and to the Rapture in the USA. A new perspective is also brought to his account of grief theories. Providing an introduction to key authors and authorities on death beliefs, bereavement, grief and ritual-symbolism, Death, Ritual and Belief is an authoritative guide to the perspectives of major religious and secular worldviews.

Describing a variety of funeral ritual, from major world religions and from local traditions, this book shows how cultures cope not only with corpses but also create an added value for living through the growth of afterlife beliefs. The key theme of the book is the rhetoric of death -- the way cultures use the most potent weapon of words to bring new power to life. Human identity and its transformation through mortuary rites is explored through the mummies of Chile and Egypt; African sacrificial deaths; Indian cremations; immigrant cemeteries in the USA; ancestor rites in Eastern religions and Mormonism; and the freezing of the dead in cryonics. Research findings are presented on cremation and afterlife beliefs, especially reincarnation, sensing the presence of the dead, and the death of pets in Britain, to show how mortuary rituals are constantly changing in response to death as a major feature of the human environment.

Ghost-writer Melody Layne is stranded in Paris when the over-sexed but unloved French movie star who hired her to produce his memoir accidentally drowns before the interviews begin. It's a major financial relief when his enigmatic Spanish son re-hires her, but the seductive Carlos Ortega is strangely silent about his reasons for funding a feel-good bio about a father that he clearly despised. There's enough amour in the air for Melody to ignore this apparent paradox… at least until she uncovers a hidden cache of death threats addressed to the actor. For the French police, the sexy, secretive Spaniard – and sole heir to the actor's immense fortune – is suddenly a prime murder suspect. Can Melody's research into the Ghosts of Carlos-Past be enough to save her lover from prison?

The love story (as well as the story of love lost, obsessed over, or longed for) gets a complete and thrilling renovation at the hands of the most virtuosic literary stylist to appear in the British Isles since Jeanette Winterson. A. L. Kennedy’s men and women huddle in foreign hotel rooms, immobilized by travel-sickness and betrayal. They plan seductions on the line at a cheese shop. They’re undone by a passing embrace in the office men’s room. Their passion is so urgent and imperious that it invades the stories they tell their children. By turns chaste and ferociously sexy, funny and unbearably sad, every story in Indelible Acts is a testament to the lengths to which desire drives us. And all are marked by Kennedy’s wisdom and humanity, and language that captures the briefest tremor of the infatuated heart.
