L'aviatore Herberts Cukurs è considerato un eroe nazionale lettone. Eppure durante la Seconda guerra mondiale militava nel Commando Arājs, una brigata della morte al servizio dei tedeschi. Mentre nella Lettonia di oggi si indaga su Cukurs per decidere se processarlo, Linda Kinstler scopre che suo nonno Boris, di cui si sono perse le tracce nel 1949, era legato allo stesso famigerato Commando. Ma quale ruolo aveva? Era un collaboratore dei tedeschi o una spia dei russi, o entrambe le cose? Kinstler prova a dipanare i fili della storia familiare e collettiva interrogandosi sulle ondate di revisionismo, sui meccanismi della giustizia, sulla conservazione e manipolazione della memoria, nonché sugli strumenti che abbiamo a disposizione per sconfiggere l'oblio. «Un'affascinante storia di "giustizia differita, rinviata, elusa, incompiuta", in grado di farci riflettere». «The Guardian» Tra le storie amare del Novecento europeo, quella della Lettonia è un concentrato di dolori e rimozione. Un lungo dominio sovietico, tre anni di occupazione nazista, la comunità ebraica quasi interamente distrutta. Poi, nei decenni successivi, un silenzio sordo, un oblio riservato tanto alle vittime quanto ai carnefici. Tra questi ci sono i membri del famigerato Commando Arājs, ritenuto responsabile di aver rastrellato gli abitanti del ghetto di Riga e averli condotti alla morte nella foresta di Rumbula. Alcuni, come il «Lindbergh lettone», l'eroe aviatore Herberts Cukurs, fuggirono in Sudamerica. Altri sparirono nel nulla, come il nonno di Linda Kinstler. Anni Dieci del nuovo secolo: la notizia che il procuratore generale della Lettonia ha aperto un'indagine su Cukurs spinge l'autrice a scandagliare le vicende del suo Paese di origine e della sua famiglia. Kinstler ripercorre cosí la storia di Cukurs, ormai morto da tempo - il Mossad l'ha assassinato nel 1965 - ma oggetto di un'intensa campagna di riabilitazione, e si mette sulle tracce di suo nonno Boris, di cui non si sa piú nulla dalla fine degli anni Quaranta. Nel farlo si avventura nel complesso rapporto che la nuova Lettonia europea ha col proprio passato, e cerca di esplorare il modo in cui «la memoria dell'Olocausto si protende nel presente e lo condiziona». Dalla storia familiare si passa inevitabilmente a quella collettiva, ricostruita attraverso le testimonianze dei sopravvissuti e dei loro figli, la cronaca dei processi celebrati in Germania, in Unione Sovietica e in Israele, gli articoli dei giornali brasiliani e le lettere scambiate dai rifugiati ebrei in tutto il mondo. Guidata dalle riflessioni dello studioso Yosef Yerushalmi, che si chiede se il contrario dell'oblio non sia la memoria bensí la giustizia, l'autrice illumina gli aspetti legali e i dilemmi familiari, le eredità private e collettive, prendendo nota «dei fallimenti, delle vittorie e dei silenzi della legge», e cercando di capire che cosa significhi conservare la memoria in questa nuova epoca incerta. «Evitando conclusioni semplicistiche o definitive, Kinstler fornisce un modello di ricerca storica approfondita unita a una narrazione emozionante e coinvolgente». «New York Journal of Books»

A great thinker's final testament: a characteristically wise and forthright collection of essays from the author of Postwar and Thinking the Twentieth Century that feels all the more potent and important in today’s political climate. Edited and introduced by Jennifer Homans. Tony Judt’s widow and fellow historian, Jennifer Homans, has gathered together important essays from the span of Judt’s career that chronicle both the evolution of his thought and the remarkable consistency of his passionate engagement and intellectual élan. Whether the subject is the scholarly poverty of the new social history, the willful blindness of French collective memory about what happened to the country’s Jews during World War II, or the moral challenge to Israel of the so-called Palestinian problem, the majesty of Tony Judt’s work lies in his combination of unsparing honesty, intellectual brilliance, and ethical clarity. When the Facts Change exemplifies the necessity of minding our history and not letting cheerful fictions suffice in its place. An emphatic demonstration of the power of a great historian to connect us more deeply to the world as it was, as it is, and as it should be, it is a fitting capstone to an extraordinary body of work.

The English-language debut of a master stylist: a compassionate but relentless novel about the long, dark harvest of Brazil’s totalitarian rule A professor prepares to retire—Gustavo is set to move from Sao Paulo to the countryside, but it isn’t the urban violence he’s fleeing: what he fears most is the violence of his memory. But as he sorts out his papers, the ghosts arrive in full force. He was arrested in 1970 with his brother-in-law Armando: both were vicariously tortured. He was eventually released; Armando was killed. No one is certain that he didn’t turn traitor: I didn’t talk, he tells himself, yet guilt is his lifelong harvest. I Didn’t Talk pits everyone against the protagonist—especially his own brother. The torture never ends, despite his bones having healed and his teeth having been replaced. And to make matters worse, certain details from his shattered memory don’t quite add up... Beatriz Bracher depicts a life where the temperature is lower, there is no music, and much is out of view. I Didn't Talk's pariah’s-eye-view of the forgotten “small” victims powerfully bears witness to their “internal exile.” I didn’t talk, Gustavo tells himself; and as Bracher honors his endless pain, what burns this tour de force so indelibly in the reader’s mind is her intensely controlled voice.

Two explorers set out on a journey from which only one of them will return. Their unknown land is that often fearsome continent we call the 20th Century. Their route is through their own minds and memories. Both travellers are professional historians still tormented by their own unanswered questions. They needed to talk to one another, and the time was short. This is a book about the past, but it is also an argument for the kind of future we should strive for. Thinking the Twentieth Century is about the life of the mind - and the mindful life.

October 16 1943 written by Giacomo Debenedetti and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2001 with History categories.
For more than 50 years, Giacomo Debenedetti's October 16, 1943 has been considered one of the best accounts of the shockingly brief roundup of 1000 Roman Jews from the oldest Jewish community in Europe for the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Completed a year after the event, Debenedetti's intimate details and vivid glimpses into the lives of the victims are especially poignant because Debenedetti himself was there to witness the event, which forced him and his entire family into hiding. This collection also includes Eight Jews, the companion piece to October 16, 1943, which was written in response to testimony about the Ardeatine Cave Massacres of March 24, 1944. In this essay, Debenedetti offers insights into the grisly horror and into assumptions about racial equality. Both of these works appear together, giving American readers a glimpse into the extraordinary mind of the man who was Italy's foremost critic of 20th century literature.

The Holocaust written by Wolfgang Benz and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2000 with Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) categories.
A concise history of the Holocaust, covering all the major topics and issues important to that history - the first to be written by a German (non-Jewish) scholar of the younger generation. The History of the Holocaust keeps being written and rewritten in ever greater detail, but almost always by Jewish writers and historians. Wolfgang Benz's book makes an important contribution by bringing German perspectives to that terrible event. His goal is to provide and analyse all the incontrovertible facts and political decisions that led to the dehumanisation and systematic murder of millions of Jews and other ethnic minorities during the Nazi regime. He details the laws, the events, the individuals, and the decisions from 1933 to 1945. The book concludes with a discussion of what the German people really knew. A masterpiece of historical compression, this book is a powerful introduction to the history of the Holocaust.

Trials of those responsible for large-scale state brutality have captured public imagination in several countries. Prosecutors and judges in such cases, says Osiel, rightly aim to shape collective memory. They can do so hi ways successful as public spectacle and consistent with liberal legality. In defending this interpretation, he examines the Nuremburg and Tokyo trials, the Eicnmann prosecution, and more recent trials in Argentina and France. Such trials can never summon up a "collective conscience" of moral principles shared by all, he argues. But they can nonetheless contribute to a little-noticed kind of social solidarity. To this end, writes Osiel, we should pay closer attention to the way an experience of administrative massacre is framed within the conventions of competing theatrical genres. Defense counsel will tell the story as a tragedy, while prosecutors will present it as a morality play. The judicial task at such moments is to employ the law to recast the courtroom drama in terms of a "theater of ideas," which engages large questions of collective memory and even national identity. Osiel asserts that principles of liberal morality can be most effectively inculcated in a society traumatized by fratricide when proceedings are conducted in this fashion. The approach Osiel advocates requires courts to confront questions of historical interpretation and moral pedagogy generally regarded as beyond their professional competence. It also raises objections that defendants' rights will be sacrificed, historical understanding distorted, and that the law cannot willfully influence collective memory, at least not when lawyers acknowledge this aim. Osiel responds to all these objections, and others. Lawyers, judges, sociologists, historians, and political theorists will find this a compelling contribution to debates on the meaning and consequences of genocide.

MAN BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE • From the acclaimed author of Outlaws • For decades, Enric Marco was revered as a veteran of the Spanish Civil War, a crusader for justice, and a Holocaust survivor. But in May 2005, at the height of his renown, he was exposed as a fraud. Marco was never in a Nazi concentration camp. And perhaps the rest of his past was fabricated, too, a combination of his delusions of grandeur and his compulsive lying. In this hypnotic narrative, which combines fiction and nonfiction, detective story and war story, biography and autobiography, Javier Cercas sets out to unravel Marco’s enigma. With both profound compassion and lacerating honesty, Cercas probes one man’s gigantic lie to explore the deepest, most flawed parts of our humanity.
