Hančina cesta
„A 29. DUBNA, PO ŠESTNÁCTIDENNÍ JÍZDĚ, JSME KONEČNĚ STÁLY NA NÁDRAŽÍ V MAUTHAUSENU. VYHLADOVĚLÉ JSME SE TÁHLY DÁL. PŘED NÁMI BYLA POVĚSTNÁ PŘÍKŘE STOUPAJÍCÍ CESTA DO LÁGRU. TAK JI MÁM V PAMĚTI, PROTOŽE JSEM SI BYLA JISTÁ, ŽE UŽ NEJSEM SCHOPNA UDĚLAT ANI JEDEN KROK NAVÍC. TEHDY JSEM SI BYLA POPRVÉ OD PŘÍCHODU DO TEREZÍNA JISTÁ, ŽE NASTAL MŮJ KONEC. ŽE UŽ VÍC NEVYDRŽÍM.“ Příběh Hany Sternlicht v sobě spojuje osudy dvou rozvětvených židovských rodin – Neumannovy a Kačerovy. Jejich úděl je charakteristický pro židovské obyvatelstvo českých zemí 20. století. I větve těchto rodin brutálně uťal nacismus a holokaust. Hana Sternlicht ovšem měla, na rozdíl od svých rodičů, to štěstí, že pekelnou cestu vedoucí z východočeských Holic přes Terezín a Osvětim přežila. A její pouť za svobodou tak mohla pokračovat i po válce, kdy ji dovedla až na nový začátek v Izraeli. Na přání své rodiny se nyní rozhodla vyprávět svůj příběh, aby doba holokaustu nevymizela z paměti.

The Legacies of Modernism
An engagement with the continued importance of modernism is vital for building a nuanced account of the development of the novel after 1945. Bringing together internationally distinguished scholars of twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature, these essays reveal how the most innovative writers working today draw on the legacies of modernist literature. Dynamics of influence and adaptation are traced in dialogues between authors from across the twentieth century: Lawrence and A. S. Byatt, Woolf and J. M. Coetzee, Forster and Zadie Smith. The book sets out new critical and disciplinary foundations for rethinking the very terms we use to map the novel's progression and renewal, enhancing our understanding not only of what modernism was but also what it might still become. With its global reach, The Legacies of Modernism will appeal to scholars working not only in the new modernist studies, but also in postcolonial studies and comparative literature.
Heroes of the Holocaust
"In March 2010, twenty-seven Britons who took matters into their own hands to protect Jews from the Nazis during one of the darkest times in human history were formally recognised as 'Heroes of the Holocaust' by the British Government. The silver medal, inscribed with the words 'In the Service of Humanity', was created to acknowledge those 'whose selfless actions preserved life in the face of persecution'. Gordon Brown described the medal's recipients, who risked their lives to save those of Jewish friends, or complete strangers, as, 'true British heroes and a source of national pride for all of us. They were shining beacons of hope in the midst of terrible evil because they were prepared to...
