The People on the Beach
One summer's night in 1946, over 1,000 European Jews waited silently on an Italian beach to board a secret ship. They had survived Auschwitz, hidden and fought in forests and endured death marches--now they were taking on the Royal Navy, running the British blockade of Palestine. From Eastern Europe to Israel via Germany and Italy, Rosie Whitehouse follows in the footsteps of those secret passengers, uncovering their extraordinary stories--some told for the first time. Who were those people on the beach? Where and what had they come from, and how had they survived? Why, after being liberated, did so many Jews still feel unsafe in Europe? How do we--and don't we--remember the Holocaust today? This remarkable, important book digs deep and travels far in search of answers.
Weana Tanz
Die WEANA TANZ (Wiener Tanze) sind instrumentale Vortragsstucke, deren Charakteristik sich aus der alpinen Landlermelodik entwickelte. Von den Wiener "Tanzgeigern" wurden sie zu einer eigenstandigen urbanen Musikgattung geformt. Die WEANA TANZ stellen einen bedeutenden Abschnitt in der Geschichte der Musik in Wien dar. Handschriften und Drucke des 19. und fruhen 20.Jahrhunderts dokumentieren ihr geschichtliches Werden, die stilistischen Auspragungen in Melodie und Form sowie ihre musikalische Funktion fur Darbietung und Gesellschaft. Ausgewahlte Tonaufnahmen aus den ersten Produktionen von Schallplatten zwischen 1900 und 1930 sind eine klingende Erganzung. Eigene Kapitel sind besonders bemerkenswerten Komponisten und Interpreten gewidmet. Ihr Leben und Werk widerspiegeln die zeitgebundene Situation des Musiklebens in Wien. Den Zugang zum aussergewohnlich vielfaltigen Inhalt dieses Bandes erschliessen detaillierte Register. Dieser Monographie der WEANA TANZ als Teil 1 des 20. Bandes der Enzyklopadie CORPUS MUSICAE POPULARIS AUSTRIACAE folgt mit Teil 2 eine Sammlung von 130 "Wiener Tanzen", nachspielbar in unterschiedlichen Besetzungen.
Remember My Story
The inspiring true story about how a modern teen girl and her Holocaust-survivor friend fought against hate to create change. In 2018, fourteen-year-old Claire Sarnowski stood with ninety-two-year-old Alter Wiener in front of the Oregon state senate to champion a cause the two friends both believed in: making Holocaust education mandatory in their state’s public school curriculum. Theirs was an unexpected friendship—she was in elementary school when they met, and he was an aging Holocaust survivor whose memoir she had read—and together they were going to change the American education system. Alter had spent decades speaking to audiences of all ages and backgrounds about the Holocaust, ...
LITERATURE AND THE FINE ARTS – Volume I
Literature and the Fine Arts theme is a component of Encyclopedia of Social Sciences and Humanities in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Literature and the fine arts exist as processes and are not the same as culture or cultural processes. The arts are by definition creative acts of human beings. The main elements of art processes are artists, audiences, and distribution, and as historical phenomena, they exist within a certain timeframe. Myth and themes like love and death do not fade over time. Changes in the arts come with new knowledge (including new materials), and with new forms of communication broug...
