Book Scholar by the Warsaw Fire

Download or read book Scholar by the Warsaw Fire written by Akiva Avikaida and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2005 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Roman soldier is haunted by memories of a secret ancestry. An impoverished Russian, a man for whom God is more of a question than an answer, is told a terrible truth about the resettlement of his small provincial village. A couple of prodigious students-abandoned by society-adopt a quest that turns their eyes inward upon a relentless vision of the demonic. A surviving soldier, a disillusioned scholar, two social outcasts; thus the stage is set for a few of the stories that comprise this astonishing anthology, which explores the fear and desire of each generation, as well as the tortured complexity of each of its chief embodiments, whose own feelings are no less mysterious and crushing than the age that helped to inspire it.

Book Jewish Responses to Persecution

Download or read book Jewish Responses to Persecution written by Emil Kerenji and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum With its unique combination of primary sources and historical narrative, this volume provides an important new perspective on Holocaust history. Covering the peak years of the Nazi “Final Solution,” it traces the Jewish struggle for survival, which became increasingly urgent in this period, including armed resistance and organized escape attempts. Shedding light on personal and public lives of Jews, the book provides compelling insights into a wide range of Jewish experiences during the Holocaust. Jewish individuals and communities suffered through this devastating period and reflected on the Holocaust differently, depending on their nationality, personal and communal histories and traditions, political beliefs, economic situation, and other circumstances. The rich spectrum of primary source material collected, including letters, diary entries, photographs, transcripts of speeches and radio addresses, newspaper articles, drawings, and institutional memos and reports, makes this volume an essential research tool and curriculum companion.

Book Essential Figures in Jewish Scholarship

Download or read book Essential Figures in Jewish Scholarship written by Ronald L. Eisenberg and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Figures in Jewish Scholarship compiles thorough but manageable entries on the figures most vital to an understanding the scholarship of the post-Talmudic era. Despite the fact that these scholars have been of great importance to the continued interpretation of religious texts for more than a millennium, they are typically not given as much attention as their Talmudic-era predecessors. In this valuable reference, Dr. Ronald L. Eisenberg catalogs and explains the importance of more than two hundred figures who are most vital to an understanding of the teachings of the post-Talmudic rabbis. For these figures, who fall into the categories of Geonim (rabbis writing from 600–1100), Rishonim (1100—1500), and Acharonim (1500–present day), Eisenberg provides summaries of major teachings and scholarly contributions, as well as biographical information and illustrative quotations from relevant writings.

Book Who Will Write Our History

Download or read book Who Will Write Our History written by Samuel D. Kassow and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1940, in the Jewish ghetto of Nazi-occupied Warsaw, the Polish historian Emanuel Ringelblum established a clandestine scholarly organization called the Oyneg Shabes to record the experiences of the ghetto's inhabitants. For three years, members of the Oyneb Shabes worked in secret to chronicle the lives of hundereds of thousands as they suffered starvation, disease, and deportation by the Nazis. Shortly before the Warsaw ghetto was emptied and razed in 1943, the Oyneg Shabes buried thousands of documents from this massive archive in milk cans and tin boxes, ensuring that the voice and culture of a doomed people would outlast the efforts of their enemies to silence them. Impeccably researched and thoroughly compelling, Samuel D. Kassow's Who Will Write Our History? tells the tragic story of Ringelblum and his heroic determination to use historical scholarship to preserve the memory of a threatened people.

Book The Holy Fire

    Book Details:
  • Author : Nehemia Polen
  • Publisher : Jason Aronson
  • Release : 1999-06-01
  • ISBN : 1461631394
  • Pages : 230 pages

Download or read book The Holy Fire written by Nehemia Polen and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Fire: The Teachings of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, the Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto is a journey into the mind and spirit of a sublime hasidic master in his moments of joy and tranquillity, and later, in his time of personal and communal catastrophe. The reader takes a voyage into the rich and variegated world of twentieth-century Hasidism in Poland, a world destroyed by the Holocaust. This is a volume inspired by a deeply sensitive and poetic individual of faith who is grappling with an unfolding disaster. While the Holocaust has engendered a voluminous body of religious and philosophical writings attempting to probe the issues this unfathomable period raises in all their enormity, virtually all were written after the war, when a modicum of distance and reflection is possible. Contemporaneous diaries and chronicles written as the events were happening concentrate on the descriptive accounts of the horrors. The Holy Fire, however, engages a sustained theological reflection and stands alone as an extended religious response from within the heart of darkness itself while the catastrophe takes place, and is, for this reason, an extraordinary document and an astonishing personal achievement.
