The Abandonment of the Jewsby David S. WymanISBN 0394740777 (0-394-74077-7)
Softcover, Knopf Publishing Group

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Abandonment of the Jews'Book summary:It has long been alleged that officials in the Roosevelt administration knew, in surprising detail, about Adolf Hitler's plans to exterminate all the Jews in Nazi Europe--and that these officials did little to prevent the massacre, refusing asylum to shiploads of Jewish refugees and failing to order the bombing of railway lines leading to Auschwitz, Treblinka, and other concentration camps. David S. Wyman examines the evidence, concluding that senior American officials could indeed have saved many thousands, if not millions, of European Jews by intervening earlier. In this controversial work, he suggests, with good cause, that a combination of anti-Semitism and indifference to anything not perceived as being of direct strategic importance to the United States indirectly led to countless deaths. --Gregory McNamee [via]

Softcover, Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Anne FrankTagebuch'Book summary:Dieses lebendige, Einblick gewährende Tagebuch ist seit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung 1947 ein geliebter Klassiker und ein passendes Denkmal für den begabten jüdischen Teenager, der 1945 im Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen ums Leben kam. 1929 geboren, bekam Anne Frank zu ihrem 13. Geburtstag ein neues, unbeschriebenes Tagebuch geschenkt, nur wenige Wochen bevor sie und ihre Familie im von den Nazis besetzten Amsterdam untertauchen mußten. Ihre wunderbar detaillierten persönlichen Eintragungen zeichnen 25 anstrengende Monate klaustrophobischer, streitgeladener Intimität mit ihren Eltern, ihrer Schwester, einer zweiten Familie und einem älteren Zahnarzt nach, der wenig Toleranz für Annes Lebhaftigkeit zeigt. Der universelle Reiz des Tagebuchs beruht auf seiner fesselnden Mischung aus den schmuddeligen Besonderheiten des Lebens im Krieg (karge, schlechte Mahlzeiten; schäbige Kleider, aus denen man längst herausgewachsen ist, die aber nicht ersetzt werden können; die ständige Angst, entdeckt zu werden) und der offenherzigen Auseinandersetzung über Gefühle, die jedem Heranwachsenden bekannt sind: "Jeder kritisiert mich, niemand erkennt meine wahre Natur, wann werde ich endlich geliebt?" Aber Anne Frank war kein gewöhnlicher Teenager: Die späteren Eintragungen verraten einen für eine kaum 15jährige bemerkenswerten Sinn für Mitgefühl und spirituelle Tiefe. Ihr Tod verkörpert den Wahnsinn des Holocaust, aber für die Millionen, die Anne durch ihr Tagebuch kennengelernt haben, ist er auch ein sehr persönlicher Verlust. --Wendy Smith [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Works of Josephus'Book summary:This renowned reference book has served scholars, pastors, students, and those interested in the background of the New Testament for years. The insight given into the Essene community, the destruction of Jerusalem and the interpretations and traditions of the Old Testament in first century Judaism is invaluable. The outlook of Josephus, a late first century Pharisee and historian, on Jesus and the New Testament documents is enlightening and provocative. As an original reference, "The Works of Josephus" is essential to a full understanding of the first century, the time of Christ and the New Testament.
Complete and unabridged, this is the best one-volume edition of the classic translation of Josephus' works. The entire text has been reset in modern, easy-to-read type; numbering corresponding to that used in the Loeb edition has been added to the text; and citations and cross-references have been updated from Roman numerals to Arabic numbers.

Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews A Historyby James CarrollISBN 0618219080 (0-618-21908-0)
Softcover, Mariner Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews A History'Book summary:Constantine's Sword is a sprawling work of history, theology, and personal confession by James Carroll (the author of An American Requiem, among many others). Carroll begins his landmark project by describing contemporary Catholic remembrances of the Holocaust and the Church's intolerable legacy of hostility towards Jews. He then surveys Catholic anti-Judaism beginning with the New Testament and proceeding through the early Church, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Enlightenment, and World War II, before concluding with "A Call for Vatican III," a Church council that would make meaningful repentance for an entrenched tradition of hatred. Carroll's prescriptions for repentance, continued in a powerful epilogue, are bracingly concrete: "there is no apology for Holy Week preaching that prompted pogroms until Holy Week liturgies, sermons, and readings have been purged of the anti-Jewish slanders that sent the mobs rushing out of church.... Forgiveness for the sin of anti-Semitism presumes a promise to dismantle all that makes it possible." Carroll's personal reflections as an American Catholic infuse his historical narrative, and although his reflections are sometimes unnecessarily detailed, they are admirable for the principle they express: "I find myself unable to accuse my Church of any sin that I cannot equally accuse myself of," he writes. Carroll's judgments on the Church are rightly harsh, even agonizing. And yet his vision for a future rapprochement between Christians and Jews is hopeful, in part because he personally has come to understand the deep connections between Israel and the Church: "Jesus offers me, a non-Jew, access to the biblical hope that was his birthright as a son of Israel." --Michael Joseph Gross [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Diary of a Young Girl'Book summary:Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is among the most enduring documents of the twentieth century. Since its publication in 1947, it has been read by tens of millions of people all over the world. It remains a beloved and deeply admired testament to the indestructible nature of the human spirit. Restored in this Definitive Edition are diary entries that were omitted from the original edition. These passages, which constitute 30 percent more material, reinforce the fact that Anne was first and foremost a teenage girl, not a remote and flawless symbol. She fretted about and tried to cope with her own sexuality. Like many young girls, she often found herself in disagreements with her mother. And like any teenager, she veered between the carefree nature of a child and the full-fledged sorrow of an adult. Anne emerges more human, more vulnerable and more vital than ever. Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the horrors of Nazi occupation, hid in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse for two years. She was thirteen when she went into the Secret Annex with her family. [via]

The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feelsby Thomas CahillISBN 0385482493 (0-385-48249-3)
Softcover, Random House Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels'Book summary:Thomas Cahill, author of the bestselling How the Irish Saved Civilization, continues his Hinges of History series with The Gifts of the Jews, a light-handed, popular account of ancient Jewish culture, the culture of the Bible. The book is written from a decidedly modern point of view. Cahill notes, for instance, that Abraham moved the Jews from Ur to the land of Canaan "to improve their prospects," and that the leering inhabitants of Sodom surrounded Lot's lodging "like the ghouls in Night of the Living Dead." The Gifts of the Jews nonetheless encourages us to see the Old Testament through ancient eyes--to see its characters not as our contemporaries but as those of Gilgamesh and Amenhotep. Cahill also lingers on often-overlooked books of the Bible, such as Ruth, to discuss changes in ancient sensibility. The result is a fine, speculative, eminently readable work of history. [via]

Jewish Literacy: The Most Important Things to Know About the Jewish Religion, Its People Andits Historyby Joseph TelushkinISBN 0688085067 (0-688-08506-7)
Hardcover, Harpercollins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Jewish Literacy: The Most Important Things to Know About the Jewish Religion, Its People Andits History'Book summary:In 1988, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin undertook a mission to heal "Jewish ignorance," an affliction whose symptoms include the ability to name the three components of the Trinity, coupled with an inability to explain mitzvah. Telushkin's contribution to the cure is his wide-ranging, entertaining Jewish Literacy. First published in 1991, Jewish Literacy contains almost 350 entries on subjects ranging from the Ten Commandments to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Entries are numbered (for easy, encyclopedia-style reference) and organized topically (to smooth the experience of reading each page straight through). And the revised edition contains several new entries (including articles about the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the vice-presidential nomination of Joseph Lieberman) as well as numerous corrections, enlargements, and updates. One might expect Rabbi Telushkin's project of inspiring Jewish literacy to be overly earnest, but the author's understated wit adds considerable levity to most entries. The entry on "Sodom and Gomorrah," for instance, ends this way: "A number of years ago, some Israeli promoters of tourism suggested transforming the modern city of Sodom into a tourist haven with casinos, nightclubs, and even strip shows. The Chief Rabbinate in Israel sharply demurred, warning that there was nothing to prevent God from destroying the city a second time. The plan was dropped." --Michael Joseph Gross [via]

Hardcover, Hippocrene Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Jewish War'Book summary:Josephus' account of a war marked by treachery and atrocity is a superbly detailed and evocative record of the Jewish rebellion against Rome between AD 66 and 70. Originally a rebel leader, Josephus changed sides after he was captured to become a Rome-appointed negotiator, and so was uniquely placed to observe these turbulent events, from the siege of Jerusalem to the final heroic resistance and mass suicides at Masada. His account provides much of what we know about the history of the Jews under Roman rule, with vivid portraits of such key figures as the Emperor Vespasian and Herod the Great. Often self-justifying and divided in its loyalties, "The Jewish War" nevertheless remains one of the most immediate accounts of war, its heroism and its horrors, ever written. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Night'Book summary:Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel's wrenching attempt to find meaning in the horror of the Holocaust is technically a novel, but it's based so closely on his own experiences in Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buchenwald that it's generally--and not inaccurately--read as an autobiography. Like Wiesel himself, the protagonist of Night is a scholarly, pious teenager racked with guilt at having survived the genocidal campaign that consumed his family. His memories of the nightmare world of the death camps present him with an intolerable question: how can the God he once so fervently believed in have allowed these monstrous events to occur? There are no easy answers in this harrowing book, which probes life's essential riddles with the lucid anguish only great literature achieves. It marks the crucial first step in Wiesel's lifelong project to bear witness for those who died. [via]

Red Tentby Anita DiamantISBN 1417616466 (1-4176-1646-6)
Hardcover, Bt Bound

› Find signed collectible books: 'Red Tent'Book summary:The red tent is the place where women gathered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and mysteries held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of fiction offers an insider's look at the daily life of a biblical sorority of mothers and wives and their one and only daughter, Dinah. Told in the voice of Jacob's daughter Dinah (who only received a glimpse of recognition in the Book of Genesis), we are privy to the fascinating feminine characters who bled within the red tent. In a confiding and poetic voice, Dinah whispers stories of her four mothers, Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, and Bilhah--all wives to Jacob, and each one embodying unique feminine traits. As she reveals these sensual and emotionally charged stories we learn of birthing miracles, slaves, artisans, household gods, and sisterhood secrets. Eventually Dinah delves into her own saga of betrayals, grief, and a call to midwifery.
"Like any sisters who live together and share a husband, my mother and aunties spun a sticky web of loyalties and grudges," Anita Diamant writes in the voice of Dinah. "They traded secrets like bracelets, and these were handed down to me the only surviving girl. They told me things I was too young to hear. They held my face between their hands and made me swear to remember." Remembering women's earthy stories and passionate history is indeed the theme of this magnificent book. In fact, it's been said that The Red Tent is what the Bible might have been had it been written by God's daughters, instead of her sons. --Gail Hudson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'There Once Was a World: A 900-Year Chronicle of the Shtetl of Eishyshok'Book summary:This is the history of a singular yet representative Jewish community from its origins in the Middle Ages to its destruction during the Second World War. For 900 years, this Polish shtetl was a home to generations of Jewish families. In 1944, almost every Jew in Eishyshok was murdered, and with them died a way of life that had survived since the eleventh century. Yaffa Eliach was four years old when the Nazis entered the town and machine-gunned all but thirty-six of its inhabitants. She and her family hid for two years in forests and in a tiny cellar beneath a pigsty. She has devoted the last seventeen years to documenting the stories of the other inhabitants of Eishyshok, collecting thousands of photographs and personal stories from all over the world. The result is this extraordinary book, which weaves these stories into a comprehensive and moving study of shtetl life and culture. Yaffa Eliach has written a landmark history that triumphantly brings to life a people and a world the Nazis sought to destroy. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Journal'Book summary:De juillet 1942 à août 1944, une petite fille juive partage le sort précaire de sept personnes contraintes de se cacher pour échapper à la gestapo. Tandis que les nazis ajoutent un chapitre capital et sanglant au "Bréviaire de la haine", elle note dans son journalier les menus faits et gestes de la communauté. Anne Frank tient la chronique d'une microsociété clandestine, sans rien abandonner de sa propre subjectivité. Malgré la réclusion, la peur, le monde extérieur en feu, elle reproduit fidèlement la gamme des sentiments que lui inspirent son âge et son coeur : tour à tour irritée, tendre, injuste, amoureuse. Comme si, se sentant menacée par l'imminence d'un destin tragique, elle voulait vivre en accéléré l'histoire de sa sensibilité. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Anne FrankTagebuch'Book summary:Dieses lebendige, Einblick gewährende Tagebuch ist seit seiner ersten Veröffentlichung 1947 ein geliebter Klassiker und ein passendes Denkmal für den begabten jüdischen Teenager, der 1945 im Konzentrationslager Bergen-Belsen ums Leben kam. 1929 geboren, bekam Anne Frank zu ihrem 13. Geburtstag ein neues, unbeschriebenes Tagebuch geschenkt, nur wenige Wochen bevor sie und ihre Familie im von den Nazis besetzten Amsterdam untertauchen mußten. Ihre wunderbar detaillierten persönlichen Eintragungen zeichnen 25 anstrengende Monate klaustrophobischer, streitgeladener Intimität mit ihren Eltern, ihrer Schwester, einer zweiten Familie und einem älteren Zahnarzt nach, der wenig Toleranz für Annes Lebhaftigkeit zeigt. Der universelle Reiz des Tagebuchs beruht auf seiner fesselnden Mischung aus den schmuddeligen Besonderheiten des Lebens im Krieg (karge, schlechte Mahlzeiten; schäbige Kleider, aus denen man längst herausgewachsen ist, die aber nicht ersetzt werden können; die ständige Angst, entdeckt zu werden) und der offenherzigen Auseinandersetzung über Gefühle, die jedem Heranwachsenden bekannt sind: "Jeder kritisiert mich, niemand erkennt meine wahre Natur, wann werde ich endlich geliebt?" Aber Anne Frank war kein gewöhnlicher Teenager: Die späteren Eintragungen verraten einen für eine kaum 15jährige bemerkenswerten Sinn für Mitgefühl und spirituelle Tiefe. Ihr Tod verkörpert den Wahnsinn des Holocaust, aber für die Millionen, die Anne durch ihr Tagebuch kennengelernt haben, ist er auch ein sehr persönlicher Verlust. --Wendy Smith [via]
