In the clinic where I worked as a result there was a huge palm tree. Sometimes I stayed down there and before I saw the rooms where inmates were my patients. Those were different times, there were no drugs today, and most of the patients in those rooms was sentenced to die. My job was to save as much as possible and one day, under the palm tree, I realized that was basically the same job that there Umschlagplatz. Even then I was at the gate and pulled out from a crowd of people of offenders.
Mark Edelman, the only commander of the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto survived the war, as there was at the gate nell'Umschlagplatz, the collection center to the edge of the ghetto, where he saw 400,000 Jews take off, one by one and go on wagons that will take them to die in Treblinka. There, as in his profession after a cardiologist, has done nothing other than trying to arrive before the Lord God and save lives as much as he could.
This book tells Hanna Krall of Jewish life in the ghetto, the revolt of his profession as a doctor. But it's not a hero and almost foot down and kick in the face of questions the writer. He argues that, in the operating room as the gate in 'Umschlagplatz, save one in four hundred thousand is simply ridiculous.
But all life is for each one hundred percent the whole, then perhaps there is still a sense . So concludes
Hanna Krall, and us with it.

Where did Manet to Matisse, to Picasso's art dealer jew Daniel Berenzon? He took refuge in the countryside during the German occupation of Paris in 1944 but returns to the city's priceless masterpieces have disappeared from his gallery. His son Max will try them, aided by Rose Clement, until they become a reason for living.
Sara Houghteling tells a compelling story and passionate focus "on art rubata”, ovvero sulla razzia che i nazisti, su ordine diretto di Hitler e Göring, fecero di quadri e oggetti d’arte durante l’occupazione di Parigi. Tutti i dati riportati nel romanzo sono veri; solo il protagonista del romanzo, Daniel Berenzon, è un personaggio di fantasia
Il libro è ispirato alla figura di Rose Valland (1898 -1980), a cui i tedeschi permisero, nella sua qualità di ex sovrintendente, di rimanere come supervisore alla manutenzione, al Jeu de Paume. Qui venivano stipate le opere prima di partire per la Germania. I meticolosi resoconti che Rose compilò di nascosto consentirono il successivo rimpatrio di migliaia di dipinti. Grazie ai suoi contatti con le Forze francesi libere e gli alleati, Thousands of wagons loaded with works of art were not bombed. Rose Valland was awarded the Legion of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In 1961, Rose wrote his autobiography, The front de l'art: 1939-1945 défense des collections françaises, out of print for years. In 1964 his book was made into the film The train .

watching ... the variety of gestures and body ornaments in the world, it is easy to see how it has always been an expression of a specific historical period and a specific geographical location, sexual, cultural or religious. Elongated necks force, painted faces, veiled heads, ankles, face, suits, colored hair, tattooed arms, bound feet, gold teeth, heads covered, male and female circumcisions, or painted nails are all signs of belonging to a cultural environment specific. The bodies are recognized based on morals and behavior that befits the group from which you come, you want to belong or with which you want to identify. The behaviors and body codes determine who we are. And even if you could think that they are not intentional, however, show that the body is neither natural nor pure, but inscribed in a culture and shaped by a myriad of very specific cultural practices. You can now see that, in many ways, has never existed a body of quite simple, "natural." It has always been formed by its social and cultural designations. What I argue in this book, however, is that the cultural discourse today is the entrance into a new period of destabilization of the body: the latter is the subject of a new frenzy induced by social forces absorbed and transmitted within the family, the context in which it acquires for the first time its own perception of the body.

Memories of World War

Liliana Treves Alcalay

Giuntina 2009
€ 13.00


A chicken named Kosher autobiographical tale is a simple and sincere. Liliana Treves Alcalay recounts episodes of his life since returning to Milan in June 1945, returning from Switzerland, where his family has taken refuge to escape Nazi-fascist persecution.
A simple story, but with many significant implications. With a linear prose, Liliana girl, who belongs to a family looking, for example, describes the preparations for the celebration of Shabbat On Friday evening, and almost invites us to sit around that table set up by the Jews in the same way all over. His family is Sephardic, his ancestors were among those expelled from Spain (Sefarad) in 1492 by Isabella the Catholic, were scattered a bit 'everywhere, but now well-established musician and Liliana woman learns from her mother that one of its ancestors are some Marranos. Marrano (pig in English) is the term used to designate the Jews who were converted by force during the Inquisition, continued to profess Judaism in secret. A tragic page in the history of the Jews that Liliana's mother testifies her and us so essential, but non per questo meno efficace.
Liliana adolescente ha ormai compreso che la sua vita sarà la musica, canta e suona insieme alla sua generazione la protesta nelle canzoni di Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Victor Jara, gli Inti Illimani. Poi un giorno, la svolta.
La madre, nel corso di un trasloco, le consegna un disco di canti chassidici che il padre, morto nel 1967, aveva conservato per lei. Ascoltandolo Liliana prova un’emozione fino ad allora sconosciuta. La voce profonda e struggente del cantore proruppe con impeto nella stanza, come se da troppo tempo fosse stata imprigionata in silenzio ed anelasse solo di librarsi in volo . Decide di dedicarsi alla musica tradizionale ebraica e di farne uno strumento di dialogo e di conoscenza to find out how in the heart of the common man - whatever its history, its culture, its faith - dwell the same dreams and expectations, the same need to live in peace .
born at the end of the book, the desire to listen to this voice and this music.
Liliana Treves Alcalay has already published three volumes of the Giuntina Songs of the Diaspora and Sefarad (and their boxes), an exile Melodies and Songs of the court and iuderia (with CD-ROM.)

story of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose




Annette Dumbach, Jud Newborn

Lindau 2008
€ 22.00

This book is dedicated to the men and women of Germany who resisted.

On February 22, 1943 Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans and Christoph Probst were guillotined on charges of treason. Two months later the same fate befell Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf and their professor, Kurt Huber.
All university students, Sophie and the others were opposed to Nazism spread, first to Monaco and from there to other cities in Germany and Austria, where six leaflets denouncing the atrocities of the regime and urged the Germans to sabotage and resistance. They called their opposition group "The White Rose."
We do not be silent. We are the voice of your bad conscience. The White Rose will not give you peace.
"The White Rose" was not a structured movement, or had connections with other organizations, was the spontaneous uprising of five boys, classmates and friends, who in the name of Christian principles of brotherhood and justice challenged with few resources available and self-financing power of the Third Reich.
The leaflets were mailed to thousands of addresses from different parts of the city and transported by train from city to city to be posted. Each stamp was pasted a risk to their lives and they knew it, but felt the freedom the highest good, and His name had paid a higher price.
Every time I see a white rose, I think the two of them and their heroism amid the horror. They remind us that even in Nazi Germany were young, although few, who represented the best thing in the world ... The courage, humanity .

Annette Dumbach, journalist and university professor, has worked in New York, Paris and Monaco of Bavaria, where he currently resides.
Jud Newborn, historian, is one of the leaders of the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York. Collaborates with many Israeli and American newspapers.
