A treasure of individual strength, family love, community solidarity and Jewish History This is the story of one remarkable young woman's unimaginable journey through the rise of the Nazi regime, the Second World War, and the aftermath. Mania Lichtenstein’s dramatic story of survival is narrated by her granddaughter and her memories are interwoven with beautiful passages of poetry and personal reflection. Holocaust survivor Mania Lichtenstein used writing as a medium to deal with the traumatic effects of the war. Many Jews did not die in concentration camps, but were murdered in their lifelong communities, slaughtered by mass killing units, and then buried in pits. As a young girl, Mania witnessed the horrors while doing everything within her power to subsist. She lived in Włodzimierz, north of Lvov (Ukraine), was interned for three years in the labor camp nearby, managed to escape and hid in the forests until the end of the war. Although she was the sole survivor of her family, Mania went on to rebuild a new life in the United States, with a new language and new customs, always carrying with her the losses of her family and her memories. Seventy-five years after liberation, we are still witnessing acts of cruelty born out of hatred and discrimination. Living among the Dead reminds us of the beautiful communities that existed before WWII, the lives lost and those that lived on, and the importance to never forget these stories so that history does not repeat itself.

Barely twenty years old, Luba imagines a promising future in Kovna, Lithuania (present-day Kaunas). However, the year is 1939 and Luba is Jewish. Along with the whole Jewish community, her life changes inexplicably with the Nazi occupation. From her point of view, her “crime” is that she is Jewish and she will make her voice heard to her captors, knowing her chances of survival are slim. With candid urgency, she recounts the war years, her encounter with the commander of the camp where she is interned, and her miraculous survival against all odds.

This book shows the critical roles that love, determination, and steadfast belief play toward battling one's demons both physically and mentally. Jacob's Courage is ultimately a tribute to the triumphant human spirit. - The Jewish Book Council Jacob's Courage is a poignant and powerful tale of love and bravery set against the harrowing backdrop of Nazi-occupied Austria. Follow the journey of two young Jews, Jacob and Rachael, as they navigate a world where innocence is ruthlessly destroyed. From their comfortable lives in Salzburg to a decrepit ghetto, from a prison camp where they secretly marry to their escape through a tunnel and their joining of the local partisans to fight the Nazis, their journey is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. But their courage is truly tested as they face the horrors of Auschwitz, where faith, love, and courage are their only allies. With unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, Jacob's Courage is a moving coming-of-age story that examines the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unspeakable brutality and genocide.

Una commovente storia vera Rosie si è sempre sentita ripetere che i suoi fiammanti capelli rossi sono una maledizione, ma non ha mai dato peso a quella diceria. Tuttavia, nel 1944 la sua vita subisce una svolta tanto nefasta da dare quasi ragione alle malelingue: i nazisti la prelevano da casa e la rinchiudono nel campo di concentramento di Auschwitz. Qui la meravigliosa chioma di Rosie viene rasata a zero, e per lei si prospetta un futuro fatto di orrore e di morte. Nel suo cuore, però, alberga un’indomita determinazione. A dispetto di tutto, mentre intorno a lei i compagni di prigionia si rassegnano al loro destino, Rosie decide che sopravvivrà e tornerà a casa. Nechama Birnbaum racconta l’incredibile storia di sua nonna, rinchiusa nel più spaventoso dei lager nazisti e ostinatamente sopravvissuta alle privazioni e alle marce forzate. Bestseller negli Stati Uniti Le avevano detto che i suoi capelli rossi erano una maledizione e che sarebbe morta lì. Rosie non ci ha creduto ed è sopravvissuta all’orrore di Auschwitz. «Tutti dovrebbero leggere questo libro e far proprio il suo messaggio.» «Il lettore riesce a sentire e vedere tutto quello che Rosie sente e vede... anche quelle cose che uno non vorrebbe vedere e sentire mai.» «La storia di una donna che ha sofferto tremendamente, ma che non ha mai perso la voglia di vivere.» «Un libro meraviglioso, commovente e che fa riflettere.» «Non mi sono mai emozionata tanto leggendo un libro.» Nechama Birnbaum Ha deciso di scrivere la storia di sua nonna Rosie perché tutto il mondo potesse conoscerla e riflettere sugli orrori dell’Olocausto. Vive a New York. Rosie Greenstein si è spenta nella primavera del 2022, pochi giorni dopo la pubblicazione del libro, all’età di 96 anni. Dopo 77 anni dalla liberazione.

Silný zápisník plný surových spomienok na holokaust. Prešla si hrôzou a prežila, aby mohla rozprávať príbehy tých, ktorí nemali také šťastie... Poľsko, 1943. Tragicky osirelá Janina Hescheles každý večer recitovala poéziu na pozadí horiacich tiel v tábore Janowski. Jej sugestívne slová upútali pozornosť podzemného hnutia a tesne pred zničením tábora a masovým vyvraždením židovských zajatcov ju prepašovali na slobodu. Ukrývajúc sa v Krakove, dostala písacie potreby, aby zachytila brutálne obrazy vo svojej hlave. Ako dvanásťročná začala verne zaznamenávať udalosti a mená mŕtvych. Heschelesovej záznamy sa začínajú v júni 1941 nemilosrdnou nacistickou okupáciou jej milovaného mesta Ľvov. Prostredníctvom živých spomienok podrobne opisuje násilné uväznenie svojich priateľov, rodiny a susedov v gete. Jej jedinečné svedectvo pripomína bolestnú túžbu dieťaťa po matke a otcovi, ktorých stratilo v dôsledku sadistickej Tretej ríše. V tomto odvážnom príbehu o nevinnosti, ktorá bola odobratá v takej mladosti, Hescheles odhaľuje krutú každodennú realitu strašnej genocídy Židov. Nebála sa zastrelenia, ale pochovania zaživa - osudu vyhradeného pre deti. Tento neobyčajný zápisník, napísaný s opisnou bezprostrednosťou počas najhrozivejšej epizódy dejín, je inšpiratívnym príkladom svedectva preživšej holokaustu o spomienkach strateného národa. Doplnené súčasným predslovom, Hescheles je príkladom toho, že život a nádej môžu pokračovať aj po nepredstaviteľnej tragédii. Môj Ľvov: Memoáre dvanásťročného dievčaťa o holokauste sú fascinujúce spomienky, ktoré oživujú desivú udalosť. Ak máte radi autentické záznamy z prvej ruky, pôsobivé postrehy a dojímavé čítanie, potom si Heschelesovej rozprávanie o detstve zamilujete.

Between May 15 and July 9, 1944, over 440,000 Hungarian Jews were deported and, most were murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The sole exception was the Jews in Budapest. In October 1944, Nazi Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eichmann, with the eager assistance of the Hungarian fascist Arrow Cross party, initiated plans to finish off the Jews of Budapest even as the Soviet Red Army was rapidly advancing, and ultimately laid siege on Budapest in December 1944. This is the story of how one Jewish boy and 400 others were protected in a ""yellow star house."" The house was converted into a hospital run by Jewish doctors designed to treat everyone -- even their wounded enemies, free of charge. The Jewish residents were ultimately saved in this way by a man who posed as an Arrow Cross officer and risked his own life countless times while over 70,000 Jews were being murdered at the Danube or dying in ghettos. The Yellow Star House is a story of courage, family, hope, rescue and luck. It is unforgettable.
