Download or read book The Operation Reinhard Death Camps written by Yitzhak Arad and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the code name Operation Reinhard, more than one and a half million Jews were murdered between 1942 and 1943 in the concentration camps of Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka, located in Nazi-occupied Poland. Unlike more well-known camps, which were used both for slave labor and extermination, these camps existed purely to murder Jews. Few victims survived to tell their stories, and the camps were largely forgotten after they were dismantled in 1943. The Operation Reinhard Death Camps bears eloquent witness to this horrific tragedy. This newly revised and expanded edition includes new material on the history of the Jews under German occupation in Poland; the execution and timing of Operation Reinhard; information about the ghettos in Lublin, Warsaw, Krakow, Radom, and Galicia; and updated numbers of the victims who were murdered during deportations. In addition to documenting the horror of the camps, Yitzhak Arad recounts the stories of those courageous enough to struggle against the Nazis and their "final solution." Arad's work retrieves the experiences of Operation Reinhard's victims and survivors from obscurity and exposes a terrible chapter in humanity's history.

Download or read book Under the Eye of the Clock written by Christopher Nolan and published by Arcade Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxygen-deprived for two hours at birth, Christopher Nolan lived to write, at age twenty-one, the autobiography of his childhood, told as the story of Joseph Meehan. He wrote the book, using a "unicorn stick" attached to his head, letter by painful letter. The result is astonishingly lyrical, filled with powerful description, touching moments of triumph and humiliation, and, above all, disarming wit. It is, in the words of London's Daily Express, "a book of sheer wonder".

Download or read book The Need for a Paradigm Shift in Science Education for Post Soviet Societies written by Jack Holbrook and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the evidence for paradigm shifts in the context of science education. The articles draw attention to areas where there is a perceived need for a paradigm shift in post-Soviet countries if science education is to meet the goal of enhancing scientific literacy. Estonia, as an example of a faster developing country from those in the post-Soviet block, recognised the need to change its System when the economy allowed. Its first focus was in the area of technology. It was seen as vital to generate interest towards science for students studying in compulsory education. Inevitably scientific thinking plays an important role in the development of a society, and where post-Soviet countries are part of the European Union they also will need to see an important role of school science in preparing adults for a knowledge-based society. The paradigm shifts are thus seen in this light.

Download or read book Sobibor written by Jürgen Graf and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to mainstream historiography, 170,000 to 250,000 Jews were exterminated at the Sobibór Camp, eastern Poland, in gas chambers between May 1942 and October 1943. The corpses were buried in mass graves and later incinerated on an open-air pyre. In this book, the orthodox version of what transpired at Sobibór is put under the microscope. It is shown that the traditional narrative of the camp's history is not based on solid evidence, but on the selective use of eyewitness testimonies, which in turn are riddled with contradictions and outright absurdities. All early witnesses, for example, report about murder with chlorine or an ominous black liquid, and almost all witnesses agree that the gas chambers had collapsible floors, which served to quickly remove the corpses after the deed into hollow spaces underneath. Engines were posited as a source of poison gas only after the war, and the stories about collapsible floors were relegated to oblivion by orthodox historians. For more than half a century, Holocaust historians made no attempts to muster material evidence for their claims about Sobibór. Only in 2000-2001 did such research start, which carried on until 2018, when it was decided to stop all further research and cover the site under a thick layer of granite and marble gravel. The results of that research, among them building remains excavated which orthodox historians claim to be the remains of a gas-chamber building, are discussed in detail. Also scrutinized is the basis of the mass-gassing allegations, namely the alleged National Socialist policy of extermination of the Jews. A large number of contemporary documents are brought forth which refute the Holocaust historians' claim that the "Final Solution" and "deportation to the east" were code words for mass murder. What emerges from the analysis is the picture of Sobibór not as a "pure extermination camp", but as a transit camp from where Jews were deported to the occupied eastern territories.
