Pierrepoint: A Family Of Executioners - Steve Fielding - The Story Of Britain's Infamous Hangmen.
Between them, the three men
in the fearsome Pierrepoint dynasty executed over 800 people during a career
spanning more than half a century. Henry, his brother Thomas, and his son
Albert, dispatched some of the most infamous criminals of the 20th century, and
in the process earned a public notoriety that followed them throughout their
eventful lives.
For years, the three men
were faced with the task -- prestigious to some, horrific to many others -- of
being the last point of contact for the guilty and condemned. The Pierrepoints
executed criminals the nation over before travelling to many countries
including Egypt and postwar Germany, where they hanged Nazi war criminals, and
gained a reputation as the world's most deadly practitioners of the art of
hanging.
"Pierrepoint: A Family
of Executioners" recounts the intriguing stories of the three men and the
effect that their macabre occupation had on their personal lives. This
definitive guide is filled with shocking inside tales from the official records
and diaries kept by the Pierrepoint family. With revealing insights into the
intense rivalry between fellow executioners, new light is shed on the menacing
world of years gone by.

ANTISEMITISM
A World History Of Prejudice
by Dan Cohn-Sherbok
'Dan Cohn-Sherbok has provided us with a magisterial overview of antisemitism... Whatever your religion or your politics Cohn-Sherbok's Antisemitism is necessary reading.' - The Most Reverend And Right Honourable Justin Welby, Archbishop Of Canterbury
'A very readable overview on four millennia of Judaeophobia... a timely book and shows the flame of antisemitism continues to burn bright.'
RABBI PROFESSOR WALTER HOMOLKA
ANTISEMITISM has featured in the history of Western civilization for over 3,000 years. Dan Cohn-Sherbok traces its origins and its manifestations, from political opposition to racial persecution to religious and philosophical justification for some of history's most outrageous acts. Against this background of intolerance and persecution, Cohn-Sherbok describes Jewish emancipation from the late eighteenth century and its gradual transformation into the parallel political and nationalistic ideal of Zionism. Antisemitism: A World History of Prejudice offers a clear and readable account of why antisemitism has featured so strongly in world history, and provides extensive discussion of the issues that exist to this day. Unlike most studies of the subject, it does not focus exclusively on Christian antisemitism, but explores the origins of Arab and organized Communist
antisemitism and Nazi racism.
Brought right up to date with an exploration of how modern-day antisemitism ought to be defined in order to combat it, this revised edition is essential reading not only for history students and theologians, but anyone interested in learning about why the Jews have been hated for so long.

From Things Lost
Forgotten Letters and the Legacy of the Holocaust
by Shirli Gilbert
In May 1933, a young man named Rudolf Schwab fled Nazi Germany. His departure allegedly came at the insistence of a close friend who later joined the Party. Schwab eventually arrived in South Africa, one of the few countries left where Jews could seek refuge, and years later, resumed a relationship in letters with the Nazi who in many ways saved his life. From Things Lost: Forgotten Letters and the Legacy of the Holocaust is a story of displacement, survival, and an unlikely friendship in the wake of the Holocaust via an extraordinary collection of letters discovered in a forgotten trunk.
Only a handful of extended Schwab family members were alive in the war's aftermath. Dispersed across five continents, their lives mirrored those of countless refugees who landed in the most unlikely places. Over years in exile, a web of communication became an alternative world for these refugees, a place where they could remember what they had lost and rebuild their identities anew. Among the cast of characters that historian Shirli Gilbert came to know through the letters, one name that appeared again and again was Karl Kipfer. He was someone with whom Rudolf clearly got on exceedingly well-there was lots of joking, familiarity, and sentimental reminiscing. "That was Grandpa's best friend growing up," Rudolf's grandson explained to Gilbert; "He was a Nazi and was the one who encouraged Rudolf to leave Germany. . . . He also later helped him to recover the family's property." Gilbert takes readers on a journey through a family's personal history wherein we learn about a cynical Karl who attempts to make amends for his "undemocratic past," and a version of Rudolf who spends hours aloof at his Johannesburg writing desk, dressed in his Sunday finest, holding together the fragile threads of his existence. The Schwab family's story brings us closer to grasping the complex choices and motivations that-even in extreme situations, or perhaps because of them-make us human.
In a world of devastation, the letters in From Things Lost act as a surrogate for the gravestones that did not exist and funerals that were never held. Readers of personal accounts of the Holocaust will be swept away by this intimate story.

A History of East European Jews
by Heiko Haumann
The origins and life of East European Jewry (sometimes referred to simply as OSTJUDEN) took on new historical and political importance after the Holocaust. Two thirds of European Jewry and about one third of the world's Jewish population were murdered by the Nazis. In Poland alone three million in all-99 per cent of Polish Jews-were killed; Yiddish as a spoken language more or less disappeared.
'This volume presents a history of East European Jewry from its beginnings to the period after the Holocaust. It gives an overview of the demographic, political, socio-economic, religious and conditions of Jewish communities in Poland, Russia, Bohemia and Moravia
HEIKO HAUMANN is Professor of History of Eastern Europe at the University of Basel
'I am an East European Jew, and our homeland lies wherever we have our dead." So speaks the millionaire Henry Bloomfield in Joseph Roth's novel HOTEL SAVOY as he visits the grave of his father, Jechiel Blumenfeld.

Everyone Is Present
by Terry Kurgan
In this book, Terry Kurgan begins with a family snapshot made by her Polish grandfather in 1939 on the eve of the war. Presenting this evocative image as a repository of multiple histories public, private, domestic, familial, and generational she sets off on a series of meditations on photography that give us startling insights into how photographs work: what they conceal, how they mislead, what provocations they contain. Each essay takes up the thread of the story of her familys epic journey across Europe as they flee Nazi occupation, until they reach Cape Town. Kurgans essays are part memoir, part travelogue, part analysis, and they demonstrate her sophisticated understanding of a medium that has long engaged her as an artist.

Schindler's Legacy
True Stories Of The List Survivors
by Elinor J. Brecher
Foreword by Thomas Keneally
Since Thomas Keneally's novel Schindler's List, and subsequently the Oscar-winning film, there has been intense curiosity about the real Schindler survivors. Now, for the first time, SCHINDLER'S LEGACY tells the remarkable true life stories of many of the Polish Jews saved from death in Nazi concentration camps. In their own words, they recount their barely imaginable war-time experiences, how their names came to be on the List, their attempts to rebuild their lives, their emotional reunions with Schindler many years later and the legacy that will stay in their families for generations.
Ranging in age from late fifties to nearly ninety, the survivors' -lifestyles are hugely varied: they include a multi-millionaire land developer, a retired violinist, a tailor and a world-famous commercial photographer. Some have become committed Jews, others have rejected religion; some cling to the past, others have spent a lifetime trying to forget.
Illustrated with striking black and white photographs from before the War to the present day, SCHINDLER'S LEGACY is a moving and inspiring tribute to the courage of the Schindlerjuden and a memorial to their saviour, Oskar Schindler.
Elinor J. Brecher is a feature writer for The Miami Herald and lives in Hollywood, Florida.

Man's Search For Meaning an introduction to logotherapy
by Victor E. Frankl
with an introduction by Leslie D. Weatherhead
Sixth impression 1974
This very remarkable and wonderful book first appeared in Austria in 1946, a product of Nazi concentration camps. No reader of it in any language has doubted it will live on. Dr Frankl spent three years as a prisoner in four different concentration camps and learnt there the extremities of human suffering. But he used his experiences then, and draws on them still, to find ways of healing sickness of mind and spirit. He knows man has amazing powers of endurance so long as it makes sense to him to go on living: "He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how." He knows that a meaningless existence leads to boredom, depression, neurosis and even suicide. On this broad basis he has worked out a tech nique of what he calls 'logotherapy'; and here are records showing how, enabled to see meaning in their suffering, men and women can be set free from despair and find new courage to face circumstances which seemed beyond them.
Dr Frankl rejects the interpretation of the human mind as a mechanism and bases his new therapy on man's striving for a higher and ultimate meaning to his existence. His psychiatry is 'humanized', personal, and this introduction to it an important and compelling human document. Leslie D. Weatherhead writes: "I predict logo therapy may become as valuable as the technique of Freud himself. We shall find this strange word becoming as familiar as the once-strange 'psychoanalysis'."
VIKTOR E. FRANKL M.D. Ph.D.
is professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of Vienna Medical School; is head of the Neurological Department of the Poliklinik Hospital of Vienna; and is president of the Austrian Medical Society of Psychotherapy. He has been a visiting professor at Harvard University, and has been a guest lecturer at the Royal Society of Medicine, London, at the University of Melbourne, at the University of Buenos Aires, in Ceylon, Israel and India. He has also made twelve lecture tours in the United States. His first article was published in 1924 at the invitation of Sigmund Freud in the International Journal of Psychoanalysis. After three years at Auschwitz, Dachau and other concentration camps, Dr Frankl has written 14 books, ten of which have been translated into Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Portuguese, Polish and English. His book From Death-Camp to Existentialism was chosen as the 1961-62 'Book of the Year' by Colby College. A revised and enlarged edition of this is Man's Search for Meaning: An Introduction to Logotherapy. This was chosen as the 1963-64 'Book of the Year' by Earlham College. Dr Frankl's 'logotherapy' is one of the schools of existential psychiatry.

House Of Dolls
KA - TZETNIK 135633
Translated from the Hebrew by Moshe M. Kohn
1st Edition 4th Printing 1956
Daniella Preleshnik, a fourteen-year-old Jewish girl, left her home in Poland one day in 1939 to take a school trip with her class mates and never returned. Based on an authentic diary, House of Dolls is the story of one of the millions whose lives were crushed by Hitler's storm troopers-a story of life in the ghetto, in labour camps and, finally, in the "House of Dolls", one of the houses of prostitution set up by the Nazis for their armed forces. Girls were carefully selected for these establishments, and Daniella was one of them She endured the brutality of Schulze, the shop overseer; of the German doctor who performed experiments on the girls with such precision that they never escaped pain by fainting; and of Elsa, the blonde torturess in charge of the "House of Dolls".
In unfolding the story of Daniella, the author evokes the tragedy of the millions of people who were caught in the holocaust of wartime Europe.
House of Dolls is a powerful and haunting story told against the background of what the historians have come to call "The Great Catastrophe".

Dr Frieda Sichel
From Refugee To Citizen
1st Edition 1966
A Sociological Study Of The Immigrants From Hitler - Europe Who Settled In Southern Africa
During the turbulent 1930's, some 6000 to 7000 immigrants came to South Africa from Germany and Central Europe, as refugues from Nazi persecution
This book is the first detailed study of their adaptation to South Africa -- the difficulties they had to surmount before and after arriving; the problems of adpustment they had to meet; how they settled down to South African life; how, as they be came fully integrated in their new environment, they made their own distinctive contribution to their new homeland.
The book began as a sociological survey for which the National Council for Social Research awarded a Senior Bursary to its editor and main author, Dr. Frieda H. Sichel It ended as a fascinating human story, simply and graphically related, following the immigrants from their shattered homes in Nazi Europe to the new homes they established in Southern Africa.
In addition to the co-operation of persons who were active in leading the various organizations, set up by the immigrants in South Africa (some of whom contributed absorbing chapters). Dr. Sichel was fortunate in securing the assistance of Mr. L Schlemmer (Senior Research Fellow, Tostitute of Social Research, Univers sity of Natal) to analyse the information resulting from the questionnaire. His thorough and illuminating analysis and report form the concluding portion of the book
This work is a timely survey, similar to studies undertaken in other countries where refugees from Hitler Europe settled in large numbers. The author and editor, a highly trained social worker, is herself a refugee from Hitler-Germany. Written with expert knowledge and deep human understanding, this is a rare combination of a sociological survey and the human drama which surrounded the resettlement of several thousand people who found a new home in Southern Africa.

The Return of Lanny Budd
by Upton Sinclair
1st Edition 1953
The most exciting Lanny Budd of all
With 0 SHEPHERD, SPEAK! Upton Sinclair announced that his series of Lanny Budd Books was completed. But world events since the end of World War II have prompted him to write another long and absorbing novel of Lanny's exploits. The story concerns the growth of the Russian menace after hostilities have ceased and takes Lanny once again to the trouble spots of Europe.
It begins in the early days of the cold war. Lanny himself, retired from government work as a secret agent, is running his radio Peace Programmes when he is suddenly summoned by the Treasury Department.
Monck, his German liberal friend, who has continued as an Allied agent, has urged the T-men to send Lanny to Europe to search out information about underground Nazi gangs who are counterfeiting Allied money. While on this mission Lanny sees for himself shocking evidences of terrorism and bad faith in Russian controlled territory. He returns with disturbing information for President Truman.
Then Lanny is horrified to learn that his sister Bess, long a Communist party member, is being watched by the F.B.I., under suspicion of transmitting secret material to Russian agents. The exciting tale of espionage and counter-espionage in the Hansibess family is supplementary to the larger story of events in Europe.
The trail of Lanny's mission is long and dangerous, and his broad casts in Germany finally bring him under surveillance by the enemy.. His kidnapping and torturing in terrogations are some of the most graphic scenes Sinclair has ever written. Readers will find in the book a good deal of behind-the scenes information on the dis- turbed European countries today, for Sinclair has many private sources for his facts. As always, he writes vividly authentic history along with adventure action of a high order.

Following his journey as he flees Nazi persecution in Poland in 1939, through wealth and a failed marriage in New York, and on to Israel, it charts his transformation from worldly confusion to spiritual certainty in orthodox Judaism. This powerful work is an examination of the nature of faith, the question of identity and the notion of how to lead a good life.
