Een familie van fanatieke nazi's hield van haar als van een eigen dochter. Zelf werd ze verliefd op een Duitse ingenieur met een speldje van Hitlers partij in het knoopsgat van zijn revers. Anni Gmitruk, Volksduitse uit oostelijk Polen, vertelde niemand wie ze werkelijk was: Mala Rivka Kizel, een joods meisje uit een groot orthodox gezin in Warschau. Terwijl haar familie werd omgebracht, wist Mala door een mix van veerkracht, taalgevoel, geluk en charme te ontkomen aan Duitse soldaten, een Oekraïense verrader en de hooivork van een antisemitische boer. Via Israël belandde ze uiteindelijk in Amstelveen, waar ze nog altijd woont. Liever dier dan mens is de zoektocht naar het onwaarschijnlijke overlevingsverhaal van een uitzonderlijke vrouw. Met haar herinneringen in de hand ging Pieter van Os op een reis in de tijd door Europa en drong diep door in de altijd weer terugkerende obsessie met identiteit, nationaliteit en volksaard. Pieter van Os schrijft voor NRC Handelsblad en De Groene Amsterdammer. Hij publiceerde onder meer de boeken Nederland op scherp, Vader en zoon krijgen de geest (met Henk van Os), en Wij begrijpen elkaar uitstekend, over zijn jaren als Haags journalist. Hij woont tegenwoordig in Tirana, Albanië.

Een familie van fanatieke nazi?s hield van haar als van hun eigen dochter. Zelf werd ze verliefd op een Duitse ingenieur die tot in de laatste dagen van de oorlog Messerschmitts fabriceerde. De Volksduitse uit Polen Annie Gmitruk vertelde niemand wie ze werkelijk was: Mala Riva Kizel, een joods meisje uit een groot orthodox gezin uit Warschau. Terwijl haar familie werd omgebracht in de vernietigingskampen van Belzec en Treblinka, wist Mala door een mix van veerkracht, geluk, charme en een liefde voor taal te ontkomen aan Duitse soldaten, antisemitische Poolse boeren en een Oekraïense verrader die haar Jiddisch had horen praten in haar slaap. Via Israël belandt ze uiteindelijk in Nederland. Daar woont ze nu nog altijd. 'Liever dier dan mens' is de reconstructie van de onwaarschijnlijke overlevingstocht van een uitzonderlijke vrouw. Haar herinneringen brachten Van Os naar mensen, archieven en plaatsen waar de inktzwarte twintigsteeeuwse geschiedenis van Polen en Duitsland zich in al haar gruwelijke details openbaart. Deze reconstructie leest als een roman en tegelijk als aanklacht tegen de obsessie, van toen en nu, met identiteit en nationaliteit.

Bringing together political, diplomatic, economic, cultural, and contemporary history, this book explores why and how European integration came to pass. It tells a fascinating story of ideals and realpolitik, political dreams and geographical realities, and planning and chaos. Mathieu Segers reveals that the roots of today's European Union lie deep in Europe's past and encompass more than war and peace, or diplomacy and economics. Based on original archival and primary source research, Segers provides an integrated history of the beginnings of European integration and the emergence of post-war Western Europe and today's European Union. The Origins of European Integration offers a broad perspective on the genealogy of post-war Western Europe, providing readers with a deeper understanding of contemporary European history and the history of transatlantic relations.

In the 1960s, it became clear that survivors of the concentration camps had developed psychological complaints. They were diagnosed with KZ-syndrome. Dutch psychiatrist Jan Bastiaans used LSD in his psychotherapeutic sessions with KZ-syndrome sufferers, who said they greatly benefitted from his treatment. This was, despite criticism from medical professionals, enough proof for journalists, regardless of their signature, to defend the drug’s usage. Without the newspapers, LSD probably would have disappeared quickly as a medical tool. Over time, paradoxically, the cause-related diagnosis KZ-syndrome came to encompass more than just Holocaust survivors: soldiers, hostages, survivors of the Japanese camps, and the children of Dutch national socialists were all eventually included within the concept. It resulted in an enormous rise in patient numbers, and a blurring and eventual disappearance of the concept. This book explores the contribution of Dutch newspapers to the historical-cultural phenomenon of this rising focus on victims and victimhood, without which the later acceptance of PTSD – a symptom-related diagnosis – could not be understood.

An extraordinary Holocaust survival story about an Orthodox Jewish woman who managed to survive in wartime Poland by pretending to be a Catholic. Polish Catholics believed she was one of them. A devoted Nazi family took her in as if she was their own daughter. She fell in love with a German engineer who built aeroplanes for the Luftwaffe. What none of these people knew was that Mala Rivka Kizel had been born into a large Orthodox Jewish family in Warsaw, Poland, in 1926. By using her charm, intelligence, blonde hair, and blue eyes to assume different identities, she was the only member of her family to survive World War II. When Dutch journalist Pieter van Os stumbled upon Mala’s story, he set out to revive the world through which she had made her way from war-ravaged middle Europe to the nascent state of Israel before finally settling in the Netherlands. With her memoir and their interviews as guide, van Os physically retraced Mala’s steps, stopping in at local archives and remote villages, searching for anyone who might have known or helped her seventy-five years before. At times reading like an erudite detective story, this poignant, rich book is an engrossing meditation on what drives us to fear the ‘other’, and what in turn might allow us to feel compassion for them.

The darkly beautiful novelistic memoir of a childhood spent in the shadow of a domineering, abusive father This is a story she never wanted to tell, but in the end she had no choice. When her older sister dies at the age of sixty-nine, it brings back a past the author thought she had left behind. Incensed, she delves back into her childhood, recreating the abusive world that she grew up in, ruled over by her tyrannical father, The Minotaur. In a narrative by turns shockingly dark and strangely beautiful, she retraces her path through the phantasmogorical labyrinth, bringing a tale of silent trauma to a triumphant, raucous conclusion. Falling is Like Flying is an extraordinary novelistic memoir of abuse and resilience, a literary triumph that reminds us what language is capable of.

* A TIMES BEST SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR * From the prize-winning author of Adventures in the Anthropocene, the astonishing story of how culture enabled us to become the most successful species on Earth 'A wondrous, visionary work' Tim Flannery, author of The Weather Makers Humans are a planet-altering force. Gaia Vince argues that our unique ability - compared with other species - to determine the course of our own destiny rests on a special relationship between our genes, environment and culture going back into deep time. It is our collective culture, rather than our individual intelligence, that makes humans unique. Vince shows how four evolutionary drivers - Fire, Language, Beauty and Time - are further transforming our species into a transcendent superorganism: a hyper-cooperative mass of humanity that she calls Homo omnis. Drawing on leading-edge advances in population genetics, archaeology, palaeontology and neuroscience, Transcendence compels us to reimagine ourselves, showing us to be on the brink of something grander - and potentially more destructive. 'Richly informed by the latest research, Gaia Vince's colourful survey fizzes like a zip-wire as it tours our species' story from the Big Bang to the coming age of hypercooperation' Richard Wrangham, author of The Goodness Paradox 'Wonderful ... enlightening' Robin Ince, The Infinite Monkey Cage

Polnische Katholiken hielten sie für eine von ihnen. Eine ergebene Nazifamilie nahm sie auf, als wäre sie ihre eigene Tochter. Sie verliebte sich in einen deutschen Ingenieur, der Flugzeuge für die Luftwaffe baute. Was jedoch niemand wusste, war, dass Mala Rivka Kizel 1926 in Warschau in eine große polnisch-orthodoxe jüdische Familie hineingeboren worden war. Ihrem Wagemut, ihrem Charme, ihrer Intelligenz, ihrem blonden Haar und ihren blauen Augen verdankt sie, dass sie als einziges Mitglied ihrer Familie den Zweiten Weltkrieg überlebte. Als der niederländische Journalist Pieter van Os in einer Warschauer Pianobar über Malas Geschichte stolperte, machte er sich auf die Suche nach den Spuren dieses Lebens, das sie durch das vom Krieg zerstörte Mitteleuropa in den aufstrebenden Staat Israel geführt hatte, bevor sie sich schließlich in den Niederlanden niederließ. Mit ihren Erinnerungen als Leitfaden zeichnet van Os Malas Schritte physisch nach, macht Halt in lokalen Archiven und abgelegenen Dörfern und sucht nach Menschen, die sie vor 75 Jahren gekannt oder ihr geholfen haben. Damit webt er aus dem roten Faden einer individuellen Geschichte ein erschütterndes Wandgemälde dessen, was sich zwischen ca. 1905 und Kriegsende 1945 in den Gebieten des damaligen Polen abgespielt hat, in einer Zeit, als die Begriffe Nation, Rasse und Identität mit den Abgründen der menschlichen Natur im Gleichschritt liefen.

Tot welke prijs blijf je loyaal aan je familie? In de zomer van 2020 kruipt Martin Hendriksma naar een onderduikruimte op een Heemsteedse zolder. Daar treft hij een matras aan, twee lege flessen en een verscheurde krant uit november 1941. De eerste bewoners van het huis blijken adjunct-directeur Ernst Moltzer van de bekende jenever- en likeurenfabrikant Bols en zijn vrouw. Ernst keerde zich tegen de drankleveranties van het bedrijf aan de nazi’s. Hij probeerde in de oorlog over zee naar Engeland te vluchten en is sindsdien vermist. Zijn flamboyante echtgenote Traut, een Oostenrijkse gravin, zou hem hebben verraden. Hendriksma duikt in het onthutsende oorlogsverhaal van het familiebedrijf Bols. Beetje bij beetje ontrafelt hij gebeurtenissen waarover in de familie steevast werd gezwegen. En in een tot de laatste bladzijde spannende zoektocht neemt hij alle twijfels weg over het lot van de verdwenen Ernst.
