A number of books have been written on the death camp of Treblinka, but The Treblinka Death Camp: History, Biographies, Remembrance is unique. Webb and Chocolaty present the definitive account of one of history's most infamous factories of death where approximately 800,000 people lost their lives. The Nazis who ran it, the Ukrainian guards and maids, the Jewish survivors and the Poles living in the camp's shadow—every angle is covered in this astonishingly comprehensive work.

This is the translation of ydzi w Siedlcach 1850-1945 by Edward Kopowka from Polish into English. The town of Siedlce is in Warsaw province in central-eastern Poland, about 55 miles east of Warsaw. A Jewish presence in Siedlce is attested since the mid-16th century. Just prior to World War II, it had a Jewish population of around 15,000. About 10,000 Jews were deported to Treblinka in August 1942; the remainder of the Jewish community was liquidated in November 1942. This 452-page book chronicles the life of the Jewish community of Siedlce from the mid-19th century through its destruction during the Holocaust. Dr. Edward Kopowka (b. 1963) is a writer, historian, and educator. He holds a Ph.D. degree from the Faculty of History of the Podlasie Academy in Siedlce and is Senior Curator of the Museum of Struggle and Martyrdom in Treblinka. This book will appeal to scholars interested in the region or specializing in Jewish history and society as well as to Jewish genealogists seeking to trace their roots to Siedlce."

The history of English news discourse is characterised by intriguing multilevel developments, and the present cannot be separated from them. For example, audience engagement is by no means an invention of the digital age. This collection highlights major topics that range from newspaper genres like sports reports, advertisements and comic strips to a variety of news practices. All contributions view news discourse in a specific historical period or across time and relate language features to their sociohistorical contexts and changing ideologies. The varying needs and expectations of the newspaper producers, writers and readers, and even news agents, are taken into account. The articles use interdisciplinary study methods and move at interfaces between sociolinguistics, journalism, semiotics, literary theory, critical discourse analysis, pragmatics and sociology.
Fin 1941, Himmler ordonne de faire construire un « centre spécial » à Belzec, près de Lublin, sans en préciser la finalité. Le 17 mars 1942, le camp de Belzec commence à fonctionner : l’élimination des Juifs de Pologne, appelée par les Allemands Aktion Reinhardt, est en marche. On fait croire aux prisonniers qu’ils arrivent dans un « camp de transit » avant un renvoi vers des camps de travail. Ils sont d’abord massacrés dans trois chambres à gaz en bois, fonctionnant au monoxyde de carbone, puis, après des travaux, dans six chambres à gaz en béton, également au monoxyde de carbone. Les SS peuvent alors assassiner 1 500 personnes à la fois. Les cadavres sont retirés ...
