The Girls of Room 28
From 1942 to 1944, twelve thousand children passed through the Theresienstadt internment camp, near Prague, on their way to Auschwitz. Only a few hundred of them survived the war. In The Girls of Room 28, ten of these children—mothers and grandmothers today in their seventies—tell us how they did it. The Jews deported to Theresienstadt from countries all over Europe were aware of the fate that awaited them, and they decided that it was the young people who had the best chance to survive. Keeping these adolescents alive, keeping them whole in body, mind, and spirit, became the priority. They were housed separately, in dormitory-like barracks, where they had a greater chance of staying hea...
The Lost Children
During the Second World War, an unprecedented number of families were torn apart. As the Nazi empire crumbled, millions roamed the continent in search of their loved ones. The Lost Children tells the story of these families, and of the struggle to determine their fate. We see how the reconstruction of families quickly became synonymous with the survival of European civilization itself. Even as Allied officials and humanitarian organizations proclaimed a new era of individualist and internationalist values, Tara Zahra demonstrates that they defined the “best interests” of children in nationalist terms. Sovereign nations and families were seen as the key to the psychological rehabilitation...
Holocaust Survivors in Canada
In the decade after the Second World War, 35,000 Jewish survivors of Nazi persecution and their dependants arrived in Canada. This was a watershed moment in Canadian Jewish history. The unprecedented scale of the relief effort required for the survivors, compounded by their unique social, psychological, and emotional needs challenged both the established Jewish community and resettlement agents alike. Adara Goldberg’s Holocaust Survivors in Canada highlights the immigration, resettlement, and integration experience from the perspective of Holocaust survivors and those charged with helping them. The book explores the relationships between the survivors, Jewish social service organizations, ...
The Last Ghetto
Terezín, as it was known in Czech, or Theresienstadt as it was known in German, was operated by the Nazis between November 1941 and May 1945 as a transit ghetto for Central and Western European Jews before their deportation for murder in the East. Terezín was the last ghetto to be liberated, one day after the end of World War II. The Last Ghetto is the first in-depth analytical history of a prison society during the Holocaust. Rather than depict the prison society which existed within the ghetto as an exceptional one, unique in kind and not understandable by normal analytical methods, Anna Hájková argues that such prison societies that developed during the Holocaust are best understood a...

Arteterapia e Luto: Arte e Cultura na Elaboração da Perda
O processo de elaboração do luto tende a apresentar similaridades com o processo de criação artística. Tanto o enlutado quanto o artista prestes a criar estão diante de diversas possibilidades de construção de uma nova realidade e de relacionamento com o mundo em potencial. O ato criativo no contexto da arteterapia pode servir de metáfora que contribui para a compreensão da experiência do luto e, portanto, quando esses processos são vividos simultaneamente, é possível que essa modalidade terapêutica ofereça ao enlutado um espaço seguro de livre expressão e experimentação de sentimentos e emoções muitas vezes difíceis de serem compartilhados e compreendidos. Este livro ...
Terezín: Dívky z pokoje 28
My, přeživší dívky z pokoje 28, jsme se po válce rozprchly do celého světa a jen hrstka z nás udržovala vzájemný kontakt také po skončení holocaustu. O většině jsme ani netušily, kde bydlí. Trvalo čtyřicet let, než jsme k sobě opět našly cestu. Nejdřív nás bylo jen málo, ale kroužek se postupně zvětšoval. V říjnu 1991 se většina z nás vůbec poprvé od konce války sešla v Praze. Sjely jsme se ze všech možných směrů – z Izraele, Ameriky, Ruska, Británie, Švédska, Německa, Rakouska či Československa. Když jsme se my, „dívky z pokoje 28“, znovu po letech shledaly, byl to nezapomenutelný okamžik. Ve foyer mezinárodního hotelu jsme s...

This book concentrates on one of the most terrifying and yet fascinating periods of modern history: the Holocaust. In particular, it examines the different ways in which personal names were used by Nationalist Socialists to hunt and destroy the victims of their genocidal ideology. Even before requiring Jewish residents to wear a yellow Star of David and have the letter “J” stamped on their passports, Nazi leaders had dec...
