Lovers in Auschwitz
'Haunting and powerfully resonant... this is a story not just of remarkable individuals, but also a tribute to the wider indomitability of the human spirit at the darkest moment in European history' - Sinclair McKay, bestselling author of Berlin and Dresden Zippi Spitzer and David Wisnia’s story began when they first locked eyes across the work floor. It was the start of a romance that could have unfolded anywhere if it weren’t for one key difference: Zippi and David were prisoners in history’s most infamous death camp. David and Zippi defied the odds by surviving for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz. Shielded by the protection of their fellow inmates, saved on occasion ...
Een liefde in Auschwitz
Een indrukwekkende combinatie van kampgetuigenis en liefdesverhaal: het waargebeurde verhaal van David Wisnia en Helen Spitzer, die verliefd werden in Auschwitz, zonder het van elkaar te weten de Tweede Wereldoorlog overleefden en elkaar pas zeventig jaar later terugzagen ‘Keren Blankfeld weet de gruwelen van het vernietigingskamp Auschwitz-Birkenau vanuit verschillende perspectieven en met een journalistiek oog voor detail en afstand vast te leggen. Dat is de grote verdienste van haar boek’ Telegraaf Auschwitz-Birkenau, 1943. Toen hij haar voor het eerst zag, wist David Wisnia direct dat Helen ‘Zippi’ Spitzer bijzonder was. Zippi was als een van de eerste Joodse vrouwen naar Auschwi...
Accadde ad Auschwitz
Helen Zippi Spitzer e David Wisnia si innamorarono subito, al primo sguardo. Lui diciassettenne appassionato d'opera, lei venticinquenne botanica mancata, con un'irrefrenabile passione per la vita. La scintilla sarebbe potuta scoccare dovunque. Eppure, quell'incontro avvenne in uno dei posti più terribili e crudeli della storia umana: il campo di Birkenau, ad Auschwitz. Zippi e David erano due prigionieri e sopravvissero anni in quel luogo di morte senza speranza, cinereo, freddo, abbrutito. Il loro amore, fugace e trattenuto ma intenso e viscerale, fu protetto e custodito anche dai loro amici e dagli altri prigionieri. Poi la liberazione, la fine della guerra e la promessa che si sarebbero...

The publication will appeal to the academic and broader public i...
Still Alive
A controversial bestseller likened to Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, Still Alive is a harrowing and fiercely bittersweet Holocaust memoir of survival: "a book of breathtaking honesty and extraordinary insight" (Los Angeles Times). Swept up as a child in the events of Nazi-era Europe, Ruth Kluger saw her family's comfortable Vienna existence systematically undermined and destroyed. By age eleven, she had been deported, along with her mother, to Theresienstadt, the first in a series of concentration camps which would become the setting for her precarious childhood. Interwoven with blunt, unsparing observations of childhood and nuanced reflections of an adult who has spent a lifetime thinking abou...
The Song of Songs Afresh
This volume is one of the fruits of a six-year series of international conferences on the Song of Songs. The 13 diverse articles here being presented in four categories. 1. Classical exegetical studies. What does the blackness of the woman signify? Ausloos sees a tension between an exegetically appropriate and a politically correct interpretation, Biernot an example of Jewish discourse on blackness and whiteness ranging from antiquity to modern times. The function of the so-called dream in the Song is examined in the context of dreams in the ancient Near East with their two kinds of wake-up expressions (Fernandes). Fischer sees the daughters of Jerusalem as a means of identification for the ...

The Long Voyage
Gasping for breath in a cattle truck occupied by 119 other men, a young Spaniard captured fighting with the French Resistance counts off the days and nights as the train rolls slowly but inexorably toward Buchenwald. On the five seemingly endless days of the journey, he has conversations that send him into daydreams about his childhood or set him fighting Resistance battles over again. He describes the temporary holding prison where the names of distant concentration camps are spoken of in whispers - their individual horrors discussed, rated, contemplated. In chilling detail, the trip with those 119 men - some fearful, some defiant - is evoked, along with his own confusion, anger, and bitter resignation. When at last the fantastic, Wagnerian gates to Buchenwald come into sight, the young Spaniard is left alone to face the camp.
