Niewyk's, THE HOLOCAUST: THIRD EDITION, is a wonderful up-to-date anthology on the current historical debates surrounding the interpretation and meaning of the Holocaust for the PROBLEMS IN EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION SERIES. Books from the PROBLEMS IN EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION SERIES are mainly designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level European history courses. Controversies ...             Small Miracles of the Holocaust: Extraordinary Coincidences of Faith, Hope, and Survival3 reviews Yitta Halberstam, Judith Leventhal The Lyons Press, 2008 Small Miracles of the Holocaust The book is fascinating and written so well that it can be read to almost anyone and be used as an educational tool in any classroom when learning about the Holocaust. Amazon's quick and dependable service enabled me to receive the book in time for an important day for which it was needed. Small Miracles of the Holocaust: Extraordinary Coincidences of Faith, Hope, and Survival             Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World24 reviews Mike Davis Verso, 2002 Imperialism: the deadliest stage of capitalism Marx wrote about capital's destruction of the old social organizations of the societies it enters into, either originally or by force, that "the history of this, their expropriation, is written in the annals of mankind in letters of blood and fire". Mike Davis demonstrates that this is, indeed, the case, and not just for Western Europe either. Focusing on the case examples of Brazil, India and ...             Survivors: True Stories of Children in the Holocaust10 reviews Allan Zullo, Mara Bovsun Scholastic Paperbacks, 2005 Excellent but for mature, emotionally stable kids 12 and up This book should be read by everyone that is emtionally mature enough to handle it. I am writing this review as a warning to parents that might purchase this book for a younger child based on the "Reading Level: 9 - 12" rating and the fact that it is a Scholastic book. My 4th grader's teacher recommended this book but I am glad I took a look at it first. Here's an excerpt from the book taking ...             American Holocaust: The Conquest of the New World49 reviews David E. Stannard Oxford University Press, USA, 1993 In answer to conservative pseudointellectuals... All of the big words and "references" in the world won't change history for you, unfortunately. I notice that among the people who did not like this book, they all pretty much said the same thing: That Stannard didn't paint an accurate picture of the natives of the western hemisphere. That he didn't acknowledge cannabalism (he did), that he didn't acknowledge human sacrifice (he did - to the tune ...             A History of the Holocaust (Single Title Social Studies)4 reviews Yehuda Bauer, Nili Keren Franklin Watts, 2002 Powerful History I had the opportunity to use Yehuda Bauer's book in a universtiy course on the history of the Holocaust two years ago. Now that I am a history teacher, I found myself looking for the text that I foolishly sold. In his book Bauer provides an overview of the Jewish people and then takes you through the the major events (WWI, the Weimar Republic, rise of Hitler)in history and how they contributed ...             Holocaust: A History6 reviews Deborah Dwork, Robert Jan Van Pelt W. W. Norton & Company, 2003 The Inhuman Savagery of Man The scholar seeking to write a comprehensive history of the Holocaust is confronted at the outset with two significant problems. Too broad a focus on the ýbig pictureý will tend to obscure the humanity of the individual victims who will come to seem abstract. Too narrow a focus on individual stories will, inevitably, diminish the shear scope of the horror which is really too great for the human ...             The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering, New Edition 2nd Edition137 reviews Norman G. Finkelstein Verso, 2003 Brilliant! I have nothing but the greatest admiration for someone who holds truth at such high esteem that he / she is willing to pour all of their mind and soul into uncovering it, and subsequently risk everything attributable to them in our physical world, proclaiming it for the benefit of his / her fellow man. Professor Finkelstein does this in the most objective and proficient way. The Holocaust ...             A History of the Holocaust: From Ideology to Annihilation (3rd Edition)2 reviews Rita Steinhardt Botwinick Prentice Hall, 2003 Outstanding Historical Narrative; Biased and Hypocritical A History of the Holocaust by Bostwinick is a well-written, extremely informative book. While the author's passion is admirable, bias and repetitive contradictions take a great deal away from an otherwise splendid work. Examples in Paraphrase: 1) Bostwinick documents how the Nazis had carefully and meticulously concealed the existence of death camps from the German people, yet states that ...             A Holocaust Reader (Library of Jewish Studies) (Library of Jewish Studies)2 reviews Lucy Dawidowicz Behrman House, 1976 Primary Source, Good for historical research This book was expertly compiled from primary source documents concerning Jews, Nazis, and the Holocaust. The types of documents range from personal accounts to govt. papers. There is a very wide variety of types and subject matter. The reading level varies from piece to piece. This book is good for historical research, termpapers, and documentation. I highly recommend this book, but not to ...             Hasidic Tales of the Holocaust11 reviews Yaffa Eliach Vintage, 1988 Religious Jews whose faith the Nazis could not break As far as I know, this book was the first collection of Hasidic responses to the Holocaust to make it out of the "Jewish literary ghetto" and into the mainstream, where it remains a popular read in both Jewish and non-Jewish theological circles. It was also the first collection of stories about Jews who did NOT lose their faith during the Holocaust (most of them, anyway -- there are one or two ...             In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust Rescuer80 reviews Irene Opdyke Laurel Leaf, 2004 A book for both Mothers and Teen Daughters My 14-year-old daughter read this book and insisted that I read it. When I finally agreed, I could not put the book down. The story is so well told that you can can truly understand the experience of a 17-year-old girl in the midst of the horrible events. A compelling book that everyone should read and discuss.             Eyewitness Auschwitz: Three Years in the Gas Chambers29 reviews Filip Muller Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 1999 Riviting Nobody should be critical of the writing "style" of this book. The man who wrote it doesn't claim to be a professional writer. He relates his own eyewitness accounts of the most horrific scenes, worse than any fiction imaginable. The book details the planned and cunning killing of thousands upon thousands of living human beings, and the struggle by the SS to dispose of the mountains of ...             The Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest's Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews Patrick Desbois Palgrave Macmillan, 2008 In this heart-wrenching book, Father Patrick Desbois documents the daunting task of identifying and examining all the sites where Jews were exterminated by Nazi mobile units in the Ukraine in WWII. Using innovative methodology, interviews, and ballistic evidence, he has determined the location of many mass gravesites with the goal of providing proper burials for the victims of the forgotten Ukrainian Holocaust. Compiling new archival material ...             Documents on the Holocaust: Selected Sources on the Destruction of the Jews of Germany and Austria, Poland, ...3 reviews University of Nebraska Press, 1999 The history of the Nazis war against the Jewish people This series of legal documents, decrees, orders, instructions or live accounts describes better than any litterary form the progression in horror which our Jewish parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, and nevews had to suffer from April fools' day of 1933 when waring the David star was enforced to this community until the end of the second world war in mid 1945. As a Christian I was surprised to ...             The Holocaust in American Life31 reviews Peter Novick Mariner Books, 2000 Novick has said it all about the politics of the Holocaust! This excellent book could have only been written by an historian with ties to Judaism and much of it was destined to fall on deaf ears on both sides of the political/cultural divide. Being a non-Jew but interested in politics, this book seems to mesh well with other books that are nominally on the subject and my own experience. My favorite, aside from this one, is Culture of Critique by Kevin ...             Holocaust Testimonies: The Ruins of Memory5 reviews Lawrence L. Langer Yale University Press, 1993 Vitally important text for Holocaust studies Lawrence Langer's landmark study of the oral and videotaped testimonies of Holocaust survivors is essential reading for anyone interested in Holocaust and Genocide studies. I found the book most interesting-- and most troubling-- for the way Langer describes the narratives which the survivors use to describe experiences that are, literally, beyond any kind of known literary conventions. Langer ...             I Have Lived A Thousand Years: Growing Up In The Holocaust165 reviews Livia Bitton-Jackson Simon Pulse, 1999 Shocking This book is so powerful. I have read many stories of Holocaust survivors, but few if any have presented such a vivid view of the horrors the Jews faced. Some parts were disturbing, but they describe true history, so they are definitely important to read. If you're interested in the Holocaust, this is a great read.             Images from the Holocaust: A Literature Anthology2 reviews NTC/Contemporary Publishing Company, 1996 FANTASTIC Teacher Resource!!!!! I am a middle school English teacher and I purchased the anthology for additional resources for my Anne Frank Unit. The material included in the anthology contains wonderful poetry, memoirs, plays and journal entries from an immense number of sources, from Elie Wiesel to children lost in the Holocaust. The anthology is powerful and moving! The information within the text covers multiple ...             WITNESS: Voices from the Holocaust13 reviews Joshua M. Greene, Shiva Kumar Free Press, 2001 Private Horror! As opposed to earlier commentators I do not come from a background rich in readings on the subject of the Holocaust and therefore Witness came as a unexpected mine of memories of people that had experienced the unimaginable. My knowledge of the events of the Holocaust were almost exclusively from video documentaries and those documentaries had left many unanswered questions: questions about the ...              search for books american, annihilation, anthology, auschwitz, chambers, children, civilization, coincidences, conquest, destruction, documents, european, exploitation, extraordinary, eyewitness, holocaust, holocausts, ideology, industry, interpretation, literature, miracles, perspectives, reflections, selected, suffering, survivors, testimonies, thousand, victorian books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
