Two Rings
Judged only as a World War Two survivor's chronicle, Millie Werber's story would be remarkable enough. Born in central Poland in the town of Radom, she found herself trapped in the ghetto at the age of fourteen, a slave laborer in an armaments factory in the summer of 1942, transported to Auschwitz in the summer of 1944, before being marched to a second armaments factory. She faced death many times; indeed she was certain that she would not survive. But she did. Many years later, when she began to share her past with Eve Keller, the two women rediscovered the world of the teenage girl Millie had been during the war. Most important, Millie revealed her most precious private memory: of a man to whom she was married for a few brief months. He was -- if not the love of her life -- her first great unconditional passion. He died, leaving Millie with a single photograph taken on their wedding day, and two rings of gold that affirm the presence of a great passion in the bleakest imaginable time.

Saving Children
In Saving Children, Jack Werber describes in detail what life in Buchenwald was like, painting a haunting picture of his daily struggle for survival. But Werber did more than survive; he made saving children his special mission.

ZACHOR: NOT ONLY TO REMEMBER
We could begin with "ZACHOR: NOT ONLY TO REMEMBER" is a history of how we started and progressed that includes stories of our Liberators and Survivors in World War II." We could tell you about the many satisfying and joyous times we have as volunteers despite the seriousness of our mission, but that too would only be part of it. We have "grown" our mission. We use the lessons of the Holocaust-- when no one stood up for the Jews-- and apply it to today's victims of social injustice in our own communities. That's what we wanted to tell you.
Brevet från Gertrud
Martin Brenner står i en minneslund tillsammans med sin hustru Cristina och sin dotter Sara. I handen håller han en urna med askan efter sin mor, Maria, som gått bort, åttiofem år gammal. Visst känner han saknad efter henne, men de kom aldrig varandra riktigt nära, mellan dem fanns alltid en skugga av sorg. Efter begravningen kontaktas Martin av en advokat. Av honom får Martin veta att Maria inte var det tyska flyktingbarn han hittills trott, utan en överlevande från Auschwitz och judinna, vars riktiga namn var Gertrud. Advokaten läser upp ett brev från Gertrud där hon förklarar att hon dolt sanningen, av rädsla för att historien skulle upprepa sig och för att Martin själv skulle ha friheten att välja vem han ville vara. Martin kan alltså, som en av få, välja om han vill bejaka sin judiskhet eller ej. Om han inte säger något till någon kommer han att förbli den han är. Men då kommer han att upprepa det hans mor gjorde mot honom. Ska han våga berätta? Vill han ens? Brevet från Gertrud är en berättelse om identitet, om i vad mån man själv har rätt att välja. Och om det pris man kan få betala för att hävda sin rätt.
The Last Sunrise
This is a true story of a ten-year-old boy who found himself hunted for no reason other than being born Jewish & living on the wrong continent, at the wrong time. Little by little, he found himself devoid of friends & relatives -- the Nazis took them all. Only a few of the names have been changed. This is the story of a Jewish boy who grew up in Nazi concentration camps as a political prisoner marked for death, as an enemy of the state, & lived to tell his story. This is not a book by a defeated person seeking sympathy; rather it is to demonstrate to others that despite adverse living conditions, deprived of childhood in more than four & a half years of imprisonment in Nazi concentration camps, one can prevail & live to tell their story. This story has to be told so that these events will never happen again - to any people. It is not the intention of the author to describe the events of World War Two in great detail & with great accuracy. Neither is it intended to blame the German people for the atrocities that the Nazis committed against the Jewish people & others that died or suffered during those war years.
Un amore ad Auschwitz
Edek e Mala: un giovane prigioniero politico polacco e una ragazza ebrea bella e vitale s’innamorano nel campo di sterminio di Auschwitz. Mala Zimetbaum ha fascino, carisma, cultura – conosce molte lingue e per questo viene scelta dalle SS come interprete e traduttrice – oltre a essere una donna di grande generosità, di cui dà prova aiutando in ogni modo le compagne di prigionia. Anche Edek, Edward Galin ́ski, è una persona fuori dall’ordinario: tra i primissimi deportati di Auschwitz-Birkenau, incarcerato meno di due mesi dopo l’apertura del lager voluto da Heinrich Himmler, Edek ha visto nascere e crescere la macchina del genocidio ma non si dà mai per vinto. Nel 1944, sebbe...
Un amor en Auschwitz
La historia de un prisionero polaco y una judía que se enamoraron en el campo de exterminio. Un hecho real, inexplicable e injustamente olvidado, que la periodista Francesca Paci reconstruye por primera vez a través de fuentes extraídas de los archivos del Museo Estatal de Auschwitz, documentos de la época y conversaciones con los pocos testigos de esta historia de amor que siguen vivos. Mala Zimetbaum era una joven encantadora, culta y carismática. Hablaba varios idiomas y las SS la eligieron como intérprete y traductora. Una mujer de gran generosidad, que ayudaba en todos los sentidos a sus compañeros de prisión. Edek, Edward Galin'ski, era una persona fuera de lo común: uno de lo...
