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. This sentence encompasses the entire history of the 'East European Jews' - From The Foreword Of The Book

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.
