    When Elli emerged from Auschwitz and Dachau just over a year later, she was fourteen. She looked like a sixty-year-old. This account of horrifyingly brutal inhumanity-and dogged survival - is Elli's true story.

    Gizelle Hersh, inspired by her mother's parting words, attempts to save her three younger sisters and a brother from death in the Auschwitz concentration camp at the close of World War II.

    This book shows how these journeys were organised, where they went, the fate of those who were on them, and that no two journeys or experiences were the same. It brings into focus what the victims actually went through.

      Focusing on firsthand narratives from survivors and supported by contextual scholarship, Gilbert presents a masterful cross-section of the experiences of the millions of European Jews who lost their homes, careers, families, and lives at the hands of Hitler’s “Final Solution.” The accounts of these journeys are at once unique and unified by both their tragedy and by their triumphs.   Gilbert’s vast knowledge on the subject, coupled with his frank and readable style, makes Final Journey accessible to readers and scholars alike. The text is supported by eighty-four photographs—many of which were published for the first time in 1979—and twenty-four pages of maps prepared by the author, which help bring the stories of the men, women, and children back to life in unflinching detail.

    Journalist Peter Hellman's gripping portraits of five heroic Christians who risked their lives to save Jews from the Nazis now returns in an expanded third edition. A new sixth extraordinary story describes Muslim Dervis Korkut, who saved a young Jewish woman named Mira Bakovic in Nazi-occupied Sarajevo, and the remarkable bonds that have kept their families close for generations. Also new to this edition is a Reader's Guide. Hellman's compelling depictions of high drama, heartbreak, and hope—"rays of light in the otherwise total darkness of the Holocaust"—constitute a significant contribution to the literature of the Holocaust and merit a permanent place on bookstore and readers' shelves. Photographs are included.

    It includes a new historical overview, and retains and sharpens its focus on the persecution of the Jews. Through a meticulous use of Hungarian and many other sources, the book explains in a rational and empirical context the historical, political, communal, and socioeconomic factors that contributed to the unfolding of this tragedy at a time when the leaders of the world, including the national and Jewish leaders of Hungary, were already familiar with the secrets of Auschwitz. The Politics of Genocide is the most eloquent and comprehensive study ever produced of the Holocaust in Hungary. In this condensed edition, Randolph L. Braham includes the most important revisions of the 1994 second edition as well as new material published since then. Scholars of Holocaust, Slavic, and East-Central European studies will find this volume indispensable.
