Justice Not Vengeance: Recollections
“The beloved and reviled ‘Nazi hunter’ pens his life story, and a riveting one it is. Born in Galicia, one of the most war-ravaged territories in the world, he miraculously survived World War II, with more than one hair’s-breadth escape. Since that time he has been occupied mainly with tracking down Nazi war criminals who have gone into hiding and in pushing, through publicity, reluctant German and Austrian officials to bring war criminals to justice... the book consists of mainly... a miscellany of cases and questions that have engaged the 81-year-old Mr. Wiesenthal, who has lived in Vienna since the war, through the course of his unique career. Above all, it contains the story of h...
Unsettled
In this intellectually rich and passionately written history, anthropologist Melvin Konner takes the whole sweep of Western civilization as his canvas and onto it places the Jewish people and faith. Drawing on archaeological findings, census data, religious texts, diaries, poetry, oral histories, and more, Konner shows how the Jews shaped the world around them and how this largely hostile but at times accepting world shaped Jewish practice, culture, and success. We see how the facts of oppression and ongoing diaspora led to the rise of Jewish literacy, education, trade, and influence that continue to make their mark today. Konner takes the reader from the pastoral tribes of the Bronze Age to...
The Murderers Among Us: The Simon Wiesenthal Memoirs
“Simon Wiesenthal since the end of World War II has had one major aim in life — to track down as many as possible of the SS men who took part in the administration of the concentration and extermination camps run by the Third Reich... The writing of this book was actually done by the well-known journalist Joseph Wechsberg to whom Wiesenthal told his stories and who contributes a series of profiles of the narrator. It is a dramatic and knowledgeable account... [Wiesenthal’s is] a remarkable career, which is movingly... reported in these pages.” — Eugene Davidson, The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
Das Brot der Rache
In den Jahren 1945 und 1946 zieht die Stadt Nürnberg Menschen aus ganz Europa an: In einem Internierungslager der US-Army für SS-Angehörige warten mehr als 10.000 Männer von überall her auf ihre Untersuchung. Aus Italien, aus Litauen und Polen kommen jüdische Partisanen, KZ-Häftlinge, Angehörige der Jewish Brigade Group, die zu der Gruppe NAKAM (d.h. Rache) gehören. Sie wollen die Deutschen büßen lassen für den Holocaust, für den Tod von sechs Millionen Juden. Es gibt zwei Pläne, einen Plan A (Tochnit Aleph) und Plan B (Tochnit Bet), von denen nur der letztere zur Ausführung kommt: das Vergiften des Brots für das Lager in Nürnberg-Langwasser. Der Roman bewegt sich in fünf Erzählsträngen auf das Ereignis im April 1946 zu: Der Weg eines Kriegsheimkehrers von Kroatien nach Nürnberg, die Arbeit eines Nürnberger Kommissars, die Odysse eines Wilnaer Ghettobewohners durch deutsche Konzentrationslager, die Entwicklung eines jüdischen Partisanen bis zum Gründer und Leiter der Gruppe NAKAM und schließlich die Tätigkeit der Rächergruppe in Nürnberg.

Recht, nicht Rache
Neben Reflexionen über Antisemitismus, Neonazismus u.a.m. vor allem ein dokumentarisch-autobiografischer Bericht des Österreichers galizischer Herkunft (Jg. 1908) über seine sich selbst gesetzte Aufgabe, noch lebende Verantwortliche für das an Juden begangene Unrecht zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen.
