(Volume 35:2 due to be published in October)
Much of this issue examines the Holocaust in Poland. Research articles cover such topics as the attitude of rural Poles’ towards
Jews during the Holocaust; German and Polish courts’ treatment of cases involving Jews in occupied Poland; records of Majdanek victims
and their figures. More in this volume: the story of Nazi plans to murder the Jews of Palestine; and a rare, detailed profile of the Hungarian
Jewish community on the very eve of its destruction.
Luigi Fleischmann
This diary documents a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the plight of Jewish “free internees” in Italy during WWII. It describes in
vivid detail the unique predicament of Jewish residents following the passage of the Nazi racial laws in Italy. The lucid descriptions are
enhanced by outstanding drawings of the area and events of the time.
Rutka Laskier
Descriptions of alarming moments are intertwined with private and banal thoughts in the notebook of 14-year-old Rutka Laskier from
Będzin, which documented her life during a few months in 1943. The outside world slowly closed down on her, but these few sheets
of paper reflect the entire universe of an adolescent Jewish girl in the shadow of death.
Edited by Bella Gutterman and Naomi Morgenstern
Also available in Spanish and in Hebrew
A facsimile edition of the New Year prayer service, handwritten from memory by Hungarian Cantor Naftali Stern on pieces of
paper torn from cement sacks in the Wolfsberg Labor Camp. This camp was part of the infamous Gross-Rosen slave labor complex, in which conditions
were especially difficult. Even under the harshest of conditions, Jews continued to celebrate the holy days.
Written and edited by Yehudit Inbar
This catalog attempts to reveal the human story behind the historical account, and the unique voice of women is presented. We focus on
the position of women and the ways in which they coped with extreme situations, managing to be strong when they had no strength left. In a place where they had no right to live, they
marched all the way to death and managed to extract meaning from every moment of life.
Gabriel Mermall; Norbert Yasharoff
Includes two father-son rescue stories, one in Hungary, as told in the father’s diary with an Afterword by the son; the other in Bulgaria,
as told by the son. The volume includes: Gabriel Mermall, Seeds Of Grace: The Diary of Gabriel Mermall, with an Afterword by his son
Thomas; Norbert Yasharoff, Reaching the Light at the End of the Tunnel.
E. H. (Dan) Kampelmacher
This is the story of an 18-year-old boy who left his family and fled his native Vienna to Holland. There he was imprisoned in the state
prison at Veenhuizen, where he wrote a diary relating his experiences in 1938. The book goes on to tell of his survival during the war
working on Dutch farms, acquiring forged documents from the underground, and hiding in Charlotte van Dijk’s home in Utrecht from
late 1942 onward.
Flora M. Singer
This is the gripping story of a young girl hidden with her two little sisters in convents in Belgium during the Holocaust. Their mother’s
remarkable intuition and initiative, together with the selfless assistance and vigilance of two Righteous Among the Nations, George Ranson
and Père (Father) Bruno, helped save them. Flora’s story is one of the uncommon cases where good triumphed over absolute evil in the
Holocaust. The entire family survived.
Hersch Altman
The remarkable memoir of a young boy, who survived the murder of his family and the destruction of his home and town, while evading his
pursuers throughout the Holocaust. He vividly depicts his early years in Brzeżany, and the hardships of the Soviet occupation. He relates the
brutality of the Nazi occupation, the intolerable life in the ghetto and the ingeniously constructed bunker that eluded the Nazi soldiers and
their dogs.
Isabelle Choko-Sztrauch-Galewska; Frances Irwin; Lotti Kahana Aufleger; Margit Raab Kalina; Jane Lipski
Includes the memoirs of five young women during the Holocaust. The paths of some of them crossed, whether in Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen,
or elsewhere, although they did not know it at the time. Each woman tells the story of her own survival and the fate of her family, from Poland,
Transnistria, Czech Silesia, prison in the Soviet Union, Slovakia and other countries, to liberation and the rebuilding their lives.
Hadassah Rosensaft
Dr. Hadassah Rosensaft, imprisoned in Auschwitz-Birkenau and Bergen-Belsen, kept 149 Jewish children alive from December 1944 to
liberation, and then served as administrator of the camp’s hospital. She was a leader of the Jewish Displaced Persons in the British Zone of
Germany, was one of the witnesses for the prosecution at the first trial of Nazi war criminals, and played a pivotal role in the creation of the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
