Recollections of a Jewish Mathematician in Germany
Abraham A. Fraenkel was a world-renowned mathematician in pre–Second World War Germany, whose work on set theory was fundamental to the development of modern mathematics. A friend of Albert Einstein, he knew many of the era’s acclaimed mathematicians personally. He moved to Israel (then Palestine under the British Mandate) in the early 1930s. In his autobiography Fraenkel describes his early years growing up as an Orthodox Jew in Germany and his development as a mathematician at the beginning of the twentieth century. This memoir, originally written in German in the 1960s, has now been translated into English, with an additional chapter covering the period from 1933 until his death in...
Unser täglich Bier gib uns heute
"Man kann ja nicht schon morgens ein Bier trinken", jedoch ist ein wunderschöner Biertext der beste Start in den Tag. 366 mal wird den Lesenden von einem der 31 Autor*Innen das Beste zur Stärkung geboten: Poesie, Anekdoten, Sach- und Fachkunde, Historisches, Wissenschaft und pure Fantasie. So vielseitig unser Bier, so unterschiedlich sind auch unsere Texte. Die Mischung macht die Faszination aus. Jede*r durfte schreiben, was er*sie will. Was wir mit Worten gemalt haben, hat tanjowski mit graphischer Leidenschaft vollendet. Zum Wirtschaftskonzept: Alle Autor*Innen partizipieren, sobald die Produktionskosten von ca. 4000 € eingespielt sind, je nach Textanzahl an den Erträgen. Dieses ist umso bedeutsamer geworden, da es der schreibenden Zunft täglich mehr ums Überleben geht. Dieses Werk sollte neben den Koch- und Weinbüchern stehen. Es ist sowohl ein Buch für Bierliebhabende, ist jedoch auch ein wunderbares Geschenk für Ästhetiker*Innen und Jugendstilliebhabende.
A Road Too Short for the Long Journey
The inevitability of death in our broken world means that grief and mourning are a normal part of the human experience. Too often, though, this normal journey of grief is cut short by a culture intent on pretending bad things don’t really happen. In A Road Too Short for the Long Journey, readers are invited to consider how we might travel this road of mourning with those who grieve and how we might join them as partners in a reorientation of the world experienced through loss.
In Memory of the Jewish Community of Ioannina
"On March 25, 1944, the Jewish Community of Ioannina, Greece, was rounded up and deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Of the 1,960 deported, 1,850 would never return. They would perish in the Nazi death camps. Now, on the 60th anniversary of the demise of the Jewish Community of Ioannina, Kehila Kedosha Janina Synagogue and Museum, founded in 1927 by Jews of Ioannina, Greece, is fulfilling its obligation to both those who perished, and those who survived, by publishing this memorial book."-- Introduction page i.
Last Century of a Sephardic Community
Discusses the history of the final century of the Jewish community of Monastir (now Bitola) in Macedonia, which originated in the Ottoman Empire and ended its days under occupation by Nazi-allied Bulgaria. Ch. 9 (pp. 169-189), "The Holocaust", recounts the nazification of policies toward the Jews in Bulgarian-occupied Macedonia, where Nuremberg-like laws and ghettoization were introduced, followed by Aryanization of businesses and robbery by taxation. Registration of all Jewish adults in Bulgaria facilitated deportation which, due to protests by prominent Bulgarian non-Jews, was limited to stateless residents of Bulgarian-occupied territories. Almost all of Monastir's Jews were deported to Treblinka, where 3,276 of them were gassed. The small number who escaped deportation were spared as doctors or foreign nationals. Some Jews managed to flee and join partisan groups. Pp. 203-250 contain a list of names (with addresses, ages, and occupations) of the Jews from Monastir who were killed in Treblinka.
