Download or read book Erased written by Omer Bartov and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Erased, Omer Bartov uncovers the rapidly disappearing vestiges of the Jews of western Ukraine, who were rounded up and murdered by the Nazis during World War II with help from the local populace. What begins as a deeply personal chronicle of the Holocaust in his mother's hometown of Buchach--in former Eastern Galicia--carries him on a journey across the region and back through history. This poignant travelogue reveals the complete erasure of the Jews and their removal from public memory, a blatant act of forgetting done in the service of a fiercely aggressive Ukrainian nationalism. Bartov, a leading Holocaust scholar, discovers that to make sense of the heartbreaking events of the war, he must first grapple with the complex interethnic relationships and conflicts that have existed there for centuries. Visiting twenty Ukrainian towns, he recreates the histories of the vibrant Jewish and Polish communities who once lived there-and describes what is left today following their brutal and complete destruction. Bartov encounters Jewish cemeteries turned into marketplaces, synagogues made into garbage dumps, and unmarked burial pits from the mass killings. He bears witness to the hastily erected monuments following Ukraine's independence in 1991, memorials that glorify leaders who collaborated with the Nazis in the murder of Jews. He finds that the newly independent Ukraine-with its ethnically cleansed and deeply anti-Semitic population--has recreated its past by suppressing all memory of its victims. Illustrated with dozens of hauntingly beautiful photographs from Bartov's travels, Erased forces us to recognize the shocking intimacy of genocide.

Download or read book The Righteous written by Martin Gilbert and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-02 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As a researcher and collector of historical source material, Mr. Gilbert has no peer among contemporary historians." --The New York Times According to Jewish tradition, "Whoever saves one life, it is as if he saved the entire world." In The Righteous, distinguished historian Sir Martin Gilbert explores the courage of those who, throughout Germany and in every occupied country, took incredible risks to help Jews whose fate would have been sealed without them. Indeed, many lost their lives for their efforts. From Greek-Orthodox Princess Alice of Greece to the Ukrainian Uniate Archbishop of Lvov, from priests and soldiers to employees and neighbors, many risked, and sacrificed, everything to help their fellow man. Drawing from twenty-five years of original research, Gilbert re-creates the remarkable stories of the non-Jews who have received formal recognition by the State of Israel as Righteous Among the Nations.
Download or read book 1111 Days in My Life Plus Four written by Ephraim Sten and published by University of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Jewish Studies. Memoir. Translated from the Hebrew by Moshe Dor. On July 4, 1941, 13-year old Ephraim Sten began a diary in Polish in Nazi-occupied Z oczow, Poland. Hidden with other Jews by a Catholic Ukrainian family for more than three years, he recorded the day-to-day circumstances of his life in hiding. However, the defining character of 1111 DAYS IN MY LIFE PLUS FOUR results from Sten's commentaries fifty years later to each of his youthful journal entries they make for a chilling revelation of the author's inner world, buried as it was under a seemingly successful post-WWII life in Poland until 1957, then in Israel: Sten discovered that he had been living in a psychological hell. "For decades," he writes, "I was not conscious of the load crushing my soul. This damned writing has newly rediscovered everything." Ephraim Sten's book is also a contribution to the history of the unsung actions of ordinary people like Hyrc Tyz who, at the greatest of risks to themselves and their families, rescued Jews from certain death."

Download or read book Poland s Holocaust written by Tadeusz Piotrowski and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the end of World War I, a new Republic of Poland emerged on the maps of Europe, made up of some of the territory from the first Polish Republic, including Wolyn and Wilno, and significant parts of Belarus, Upper Silesia, Eastern Galicia, and East Prussia. The resulting conglomeration of ethnic groups left many substantial minorities wanting independence. The approach of World War II provided the minorities' leaders a new opportunity in their nationalist movements, and many sided with one or the other of Poland's two enemies--the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany--in hopes of achieving their goals at the expense of Poland and its people. Based on primary and secondary sources in numerous languages (including Polish, German, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Russian and English), this work examines the roles of the ethnic minorities in the collapse of the Republic and in the atrocities that occurred under the occupying troops. The Polish government's response to mounting ethnic tensions in the prewar era and its conduct of the war effort are also examined.
Download or read book Shatterzone of Empires written by Larry Wolfe and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 1125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Anyone who studies nationalism, genocide, mass violence, or war in these regions, from the Enlightenment through the mid-20th century, needs to read [this].”—Central European History Shatterzone of Empires is a comprehensive analysis of interethnic relations, coexistence, and violence in Europe’s eastern borderlands over the past two centuries. In this vast territory, extending from the Baltic to the Black Sea, four major empires with ethnically and religiously diverse populations encountered each other along often changing and contested borders. Examining this geographically widespread, multicultural region at several levels—local, national, transnational, and empire—and through multiple approaches—social, cultural, political, and economic—this volume offers informed and dispassionate analyses of how the many populations of these borderlands managed to coexist in a previous era and how and why the areas eventually descended into violence. An understanding of this specific region will help readers grasp the preconditions of interethnic coexistence and the causes of ethnic violence and war in many of the world's other borderlands, both past and present.
Download or read book A Mountain of Crumbs written by Elena Gorokhova and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elena Gorokhova’s A Mountain of Crumbs is the moving story of a Soviet girl who discovers the truths adults are hiding from her and the lies her homeland lives by. Elena’s country is no longer the majestic Russia of literature or the tsars, but a nation struggling to retain its power and its pride. Born with a desire to explore the world beyond her borders, Elena finds her passion in the complexity of the English language—but in the Soviet Union of the 1960s such a passion verges on the subversive. Elena is controlled by the state the same way she is controlled by her mother, a mirror image of her motherland: overbearing, protective, difficult to leave. In the battle between a strong-willed daughter and her authoritarian mother, the daughter, in the end, must break free and leave in order to survive. Through Elena’s captivating voice, we learn not only the stories of Russian family life in the second half of the twentieth century, but also the story of one rebellious citizen whose curiosity and determination finally transport her to a new world. It is an elegy to the lost country of childhood, where those who leave can never return.

Download or read book The Crooked Mirror written by Louise Steinman and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lyrical literary memoir that explores the exhilarating, discomforting, and ultimately healing process of Polish-Jewish reconciliation taking place in Poland today Although an estimated 80 percent of American Jews are of Polish descent, many in the postwar generation and those born later know little about their families’ connection to their ancestral home. In fact, many Jews continue to think of Poland as a bastion of anti-Semitism, since nearly the entire population of Polish Jewry was killed in the Holocaust. The reality is more complex: although German-occupied Poland was the site of great persecution towards Jews, it was also the epicenter of European Jewish life for centuries. Louise Steinman sets out to examine the burgeoning Polish-Jewish reconciliation movement through the lens of her own family's history, joining the ranks of Jews of Polish descent who are confronting both Poland’s heroism and occupation-afflicted atrocities, and who are seeking to reconnect with their families’ Polish roots
Download or read book War Memoirs 1914 1918 written by Harry Marcuse and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harry Marcuse (1876-1931) was a psychiatrist in Berlin. During the First World War, he served as an army doctor, first on the Eastern Front, and in 1918, as head of a field hospital in France. Sometime after the war he wrote memoirs of those experiences, but the manuscript lay dormant in the legacies of his widow and daughter for decades, until they were gratefully discovered by an American granddaughter who had studied German. The unfamiliar script was painstakingly transcribed by her husband's parents in 1991 and subsequently translated into English by her husband, Herbert Kaufman. The work provides a fascinating reflection of military and social conditions from the viewpoint of a Jewish commissioned officer in the German army during the First World War.
