Download or read book The Warsaw Ghetto in Photographs written by Ulrich Keller and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 1984 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographs of the Warsaw and Łódź ghettos, taken by three photographers of the Propaganda-Kompanie 689 of the Wehrmacht and now held in the German Federal Archives in Koblenz. The introduction describes life in the ghettos, noting that the photographs were taken as a "tourist attraction". The main aim of the photographers, however, was to show the degradation and repulsiveness of the Jews. Although the photographs presented here seem to be, at first glance, objective and even sympathetic, on closer analysis they show a disproportionate number of men with beards and hooked noses, and emphasize the frivolity of well-to-do Jews and their indifference to the starving. No pictures of soldiers mistreating Jews are included.

Download or read book Flags Over the Warsaw Ghetto written by Moshe Arens and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising has become a symbol of heroism throughout the world. A short time before the uprising began, Pawel Frenkel addressed a meeting of the Jewish Military fighters: Of course we will fight with guns in our hands, and most of us will fall. But we will live on in the lives and hearts of future generations and in the pages of their history.... We will die before our time but we are not doomed. We will be alive for as long as Jewish history lives! On the eve of Passover, April 19, 1943, German forces entered the Warsaw ghetto equipped with tanks, flame throwers, and machine guns. Against them stood an army of a few hundred young Jewish men and women, armed with pistols and Molotov cocktails. Who were these Jewish fighters who dared oppose the armed might of the SS troops under the command of SS General Juergen Stroop? Who commanded them in battle? What were their goals? In this groundbreaking work, Israel s former Minister of Defense, Prof. Moshe Arens, recounts a true tale of daring, courage, and sacrifice that should be accurately told out of respect for and in homage to the fighters who rose against the German attempt to liquidate the Warsaw ghetto, and made a last-ditch fight for the honor of the Jewish people. The generally accepted account of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is incomplete. The truth begins with the existence of not one, but two resistance organizations in the ghetto. Two young men, Mordechai Anielewicz of the Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB), and Pawel Frenkel of the Jewish Military Organization (ZZW), rose to lead separate resistance organizations in the ghetto, which did not unite despite the desperate battle they were facing. Included is the complete text of The Stroop Report translated into English.
Download or read book The Plum Tree written by Ellen Marie Wiseman and published by Kensington Publishing Corporation. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply moving and masterfully written story of human resilience and enduring love, The Plum Tree follows a young German woman through the chaos of World War II and its aftermath. "Bloom where you're planted," is the advice Christine B lz receives from her beloved Oma. But seventeen-year-old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. It's a world she's begun to glimpse through music, books--and through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for. Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler's regime. Anti-Jewish posters are everywhere, dissenting talk is silenced, and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her job--and from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapo's wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to be with the man she loves, to survive--and finally, to speak out. "Wiseman eschews the genre's usual military conflicts of daily life during wartime, lending an intimate and compelling poignancy to this intriguing debut." --Publishers Weekly "Ellen Marie Wiseman weaves a story of intrigue, terror, and love from a perspective not often seen in Holocaust novels." --Jewish Book World
Download or read book In the Ghetto of Warsaw written by Heinrich Jöst and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heinrich Jöst was a sergeant in the German Wehrmacht stationed near Warsaw in September 1941. Out of curiosity, Jöst went into the Jewish Ghetto and spent one day--'a day in Hell'-- shooting rolls of film with his rolleiflex. He developed the pictures, hiding them for decades. In 1982 he gave these images to Stern magazine reporter Günther Schwarberg, who, in turn, bequeathed them to the Yad Vashem memorial site in Jersualem, which acknowledged the trove as a 'unique find' equal insignificance to the founding of the Holocaust Memorial Institute itself. This is the first time these images have been published in their entirety.
Download or read book The Boy written by Dan Porat and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cobblestone road. A sunny day. A soldier. A gun. A child, arms high in the air. A moment captured on film. But what is the history behind arguably the most recognizable photograph of the Holocaust? In The Boy: A Holocaust Story, the historian Dan Porat unpacks this split second that was immortalized on film and unravels the stories of the individuals—both Jews and Nazis—associated with it. The Boy presents the stories of three Nazi criminals, ranging in status from SS sergeant to low-ranking SS officer to SS general. It is also the story of two Jewish victims, a teenage girl and a young boy, who encounter these Nazis in Warsaw in the spring of 1943. The book is remarkable in its scope, picking up the lives of these participants in the years preceding World War I and following them to their deaths. One of the Nazis managed to stay at large for twenty-two years. One of the survivors lived long enough to lose a son in the Yom Kippur War. Nearly sixty photographs dispersed throughout help narrate these five lives. And, in keeping with the emotional immediacy of those photographs, Porat has deliberately used a narrative style that, drawing upon extensive research, experience, and oral interviews, places the reader in the middle of unfolding events.
