8vo, br. ed. How did the levels of anti-Semitism in the 1930s compare to those of earlier decades? Did anti-Semitism vary in content and intensity across societies? In other words, were Germans more anti-Semitic than their European neighbors, and, if so, why? How does anti-Semitism differ from other forms of religious, racial, and ethnic prejudice? In this 2003 book, William I. Brustein offersa truly systematic comparative and empirical examination of anti-Semitism within Europe before the Holocaust. Brustein proposes that European anti-Semitism flowed from religious, racial, economic, and political roots, which became enflamed by economic distress, rising Jewish immigration, and socialist success. To support his arguments, Brustein draws upon a careful and extensive examination of the annual volumes of the American Jewish Year Books and more than 40 years of newspaper reportage from Europe s major dailies. The findings of this informative book offer a fresh perspective on the roots of society s longest hatred.

8vo, br. ed. 367pp. Perché Martin Heidegger ascrive agli ebrei l'oblio dell'Essere? Qual è allora il rapporto tra l'Essere e l'Ebreo? In che senso viene imputata agli ebrei la colpa più grave, da cui dipende il destino dell'Occidente? E perché questa accusa viene mossa negli anni trenta, dopo le leggi di Norimberga (1935), mentre inizia la guerra planetaria che dovrebbe condurre la Germania nazionalsocialista al dominio del mondo? "I Quaderni neri" di Heidegger oltre a dischiudere un'inedita prospettiva sul pensiero del filosofo, hanno suscitato un nuovo, intenso dibattito. L'antisemitismo metafisico solleva inquietanti interrogativi e rinvia alla responsabilità della filosofia nello sterminio. A un anno dalla prima edizione di questo libro, già più volte ristampato, Donatella Di Cesare prende in considerazione gli ultimi "Quaderni neri", che giungono fino al 1948, interpretando i passi e gli aforismi sulla Shoah e sull'immediato dopoguerra.

16mo, br. ed. 382pp. The German-Jewish Dialogue offers a unique selection of short stories, plays, poems, essays, letters, and diary entries that illustrates through literature the history of German-Jewish relations. From the eighteenth century, when civil rights for Jews were first proposed, through the 1990s and contemporary considerations of the Holocaust, this anthology sheds light on the interaction between Jews in Germany and Austria and their fellow Gentile Germans with works of high literary merit, each introduced with a short preface. Ritche Robertson's lucid introduction puts the selections in their historical context and his translations make available in English--in some cases for the first time--both Jewish writers on various aspects of Jewish experience and responses of Gentile writers to the Jews in their midst.
8vo, br. ed. xxix + 321pp., b/w pls., index. a rarely considered yet critical dimension of anti-Semitism that was instrumental in the conception and perpetration of the Holocaust: the association of Jews with criminality. Drawing from a rich body of documentary evidence, including memoirs and little-studied photographs, Michael Berkowitz traces the myths and realities pertinent to the discourse on "Jewish criminality" from the eighteenth century through the Weimar Republic, into the complex Nazi assault on the Jews, and extending into postwar Europe.
8vo, herdcover in dj, 368 pages. During a 1931 trial of four Nazi stormtroopers, known as the Eden Dance Palace trial, Hans Litten grilled Hitler in a brilliant and merciless three-hour cross-examination, forcing him into multiple contradictions and evasions and finally reducing him to helpless and humiliating rage (the transcription of Hitlers full testimony is included. ) At the time, Hitler was still trying to prove his embrace of legal methods, and distancing himself from his stormtroopers. The courageous Litten revealed his true intentions, and in the process, posed a real threat to Nazi ambition. When the Nazis seized power two years after the trial, friends and family urged Litten to flee the country. He stayed and was sent to the concentration camps, where he worked on translations of medieval German poetry, shared the money and food he was sent by his wealthy family, and taught working-class inmates about art and literature. When Jewish prisoners at Dachau were locked in their barracks for weeks at a time, Litten kept them sane by reciting great works from memory. After five years of torture and hard labor-and a daring escape that failed-Litten gave up hope of survival. His story was ultimately tragic but, as Benjamin Hett writes in this gripping narrative, it is also redemptive. It is a story of human nobility in the face of barbarism. The first full-length biography of Litten, the book also explores the turbulent years of the Weimar Republic and the terror of Nazi rule in Germany after 1933

University of Illinois Press, United States, 2008. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. This is the first published edition of the diary of Abraham Plotkin, an American labor leader of immigrant Jewish origin who lived in Berlin between November 1932 and May 1933. A firsthand account of the Weimar Republic's final months and the early rise of Nazi power in Germany, Plotkin's diary focuses on the German working class, the labor movement, and the plight of German Jews. Plotkin investigated Berlin's social conditions with the help of German Social-Democratic leaders whose analyses of the situation he records alongside his own.Most accounts of Hitler's rise to power emphasize political institutions by focusing on the Nazi party's clashes with other political forces. In contrast, Plotkin is especially attentive to socioeconomic factors, providing an alternative view from the left that stems from his access to key German labor and socialist leaders. Chronologically, the diary reports on the moment when Hitler's seizure of power was not yet inevitable and when leaders on the left still believed in a different outcome of the crisis, but it also includes Plotkin's account of the complete destruction of German labor in May 1933.

8vo, br. ed. pp.278. Un memoir, i ricordi dell'autore: la sua famiglia, la famiglia d'origine della madre, i due villaggi che l'hanno visto bambino. E i personaggi veri che popolano Leoncin e Bilgoraj - il padre sognatore, ingenuo, fragile, affascinato dal chassidismo con la sua vena mistica, le sue danze e i suoi canti, ma incapace di mantenere la famiglia a un livello accettabile; la madre, donna colta e intellettuale; il nonno, rabbino autorevole e benestante; la nonna, regina di una cucina generosa e affollata - sono, se possibile, ancora più vivi e originali di quelli dei romanzi, come se l'autore, mentre scrive, stesse rivivendo quei giorni lontani, e li raccontasse con lo stesso sguardo critico, ironico, ma affettuoso e tollerante che gli appartiene sempre. Una storia vera, calata nell'ambiente ristretto di due villaggi d'antan, che in realtà rivela un intero universo.
8vo, br, ed. pp.339. I circa 700 ebrei italiani che le leggi razziali cacciarono dallo Stato dopo il 1938 erano direttori generali, professori di scuola media, ingegneri e chimici, operai della Zecca, postini e maestre elementari, oltre che, è più noto, professori universitari di fama. «Il registro» ne ricostruisce per la prima volta i nomi, il ruolo professionale e, in diversi casi, i dati biografici. Le fonti sono incontrovertibili: i protocolli e i decreti della Corte dei Conti, che registrarono tutte le decisioni dello Stato italiano al riguardo. Nell'ottantesimo anniversario delle leggi razziste emergono anche le ricadute economiche individuali di quelle espulsioni. In molti casi i perseguitati furono letteralmente ridotti in povertà, ovvero vennero loro corrisposte delle indennità irrisorie, talvolta neppure quelle. Utilizzando lo strumento inedito dei registri dei decreti e incrociandolo con i decreti stessi e con altre fonti, il volume ripercorre capillarmente le procedure che riguardarono ciascun perseguitato. Per la prima volta è possibile capire quale fu all'epoca, a parte la spoliazione dei beni, il generale impoverimento personale degli ebrei italiani dipendenti dallo Stato. Sono stati anche identificati i più di cinquanta che furono deportati e uccisi ad Auschwitz. Prefazione di Michele Sarfatti. Con un saggio di Adriano Prosperi.

8vo, hardcover in dj. A magisterial, myth-dispelling history of Islamic Spain spanning the millennium between the founding of Islam in the seventh century and the final expulsion of Spain's Muslims in the seventeenth. In Kingdoms of Faith, award-winning historian Brian A. Catlos rewrites the history of Islamic Spain from the ground up, evoking the cultural splendor of al-Andalus, while offering an authoritative new interpretation of the forces that shaped it. Prior accounts have portrayed Islamic Spain as a paradise of enlightened tolerance or the site where civilizations clashed. Catlos taps a wide array of primary sources to paint a more complex portrait, showing how Muslims, Christians, and Jews together built a sophisticated civilization that transformed the Western world, even as they waged relentless war against each other and their coreligionists. Religion was often the language of conflict, but seldom its cause-a lesson we would do well to learn in our own time.

8vo, hardcover in dj, pp.237. Exodus is the second book of the Hebrew Bible, but it may rank first in lasting cultural importance. It is here that the classic biblical themes of oppression and redemption, of human enslavement and divine salvation, are most dramatically expressed. Joel Baden tells the story of this influential and enduring book, tracing how its famous account of the Israelites? journey to the promised land has been adopted and adapted for millennia, often in unexpected ways. Baden draws a distinction between the Exodus story and the book itself, which is one of the most multifaceted in the Bible, containing poems, law codes, rituals, and architectural plans. He shows how Exodus brings together an array of oral and written traditions from the ancient Middle East, and how it came to be ritualized in the Passover Seder and the Eucharist. Highlighting the remarkable resilience and flexibility of Exodus, Baden sheds light on how the bestowing of the Torah to Moses on Mount Sinai divided Jewish and Christian thinkers, on the importance of Exodus during the Reformation and the American Revolution, and on its uses in debates for and against slavery. He also traces how the defining narrative of ancient Israel helped to define Mormon social identity, the American civil rights movement, and liberation theology. Though three thousand years old, the Exodus?as history, as narrative, as metaphor, as model?continues to be vitally important for us today. Here is the essential biography of this incomparable spiritual masterpiece.
