Alrededor de 50.000 prisioneros de guerra republicanos ?muchos de ellos, gudaris? fueron recluidos en condiciones deplorables en el campo de concentración que el régimen franquista estableció entre 1937 y 1939 en el colegio de los PP. Jesuitas de Orduña (Bizkaia), curiosamente el mismo centro donde años antes había estudiado el lehendakari José Antonio Agirre. Habían perdido la guerra y estaban a merced del enemigo, sometidos a un trato inhumano que se sustentó en el hambre, el hacinamiento, la humillación y la brutalidad de los guardianes. Además, y por si fuera poco, fueron obligados a trabajar como esclavos en numerosas obras públicas y privadas locales.
We are born, live, and die with technologies. This book is about the role technology plays in sustaining narratives of living, dying, and coming to be. Contributing authors examine how technologies connect, disrupt, or help us reorganize ways of parenting and nurturing life. They further consider how technology sustains our ways of thinking and being, hopefully reconciling the distance between who we are and who we aspire to be. Finally, they address the role technology plays in helping us come to terms with death, looking at technologically enhanced memorials, online rituals of mourning, and patterns of grief enabled through technology. Ultimately, this volume is about using technology to reimagine the art of life.

Written in 1939 while the philosopher Karl Lowith was in exile in Japan, and first published in Germany in 1986, this autobiography focuses on the years 1914-39, a crucial period in the growth of Hitler's Germany. It covers Lowith's youth in Germany, his emigration to Italy and from there to Japan, and his meeting with Martin Heidegger in Rome in 1936. Included are philosophical-biographical vignettes of leading German intellectual figures of the day: the George circle, Oswald Spengler, Karl Barth, and Carl Schmitt. My Life in Germany Before and After 1933 represents the search by a German-Jewish intellectual for political and cultural identity in the Germany of the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. It provides a valuable account of the intellectual and social ambience before and after 1933 and will be of value to philosophers, intellectual historians, and those interested in German history.
