Here There Is No Why
"Here There Is No Why" was the infamous Dr. Joseph Mengele's answer to Roma, the author, and to millions of Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Written to fulfill a promise made in the darkest moment of human history, this simple and eloquent story is unique in that it spans the geography of the Nazi's Final Solution. Ruchama (Roma in Polish), the teenage daughter of a journalist, relays to us the experiences of a schoolgirl and her classmates under the German occupied Warsaw Ghetto. She is a witness and participant in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. After the Nazis smoke her out of hiding, she bravely faces the reality of the gas chambers and concentration camps in Poland and Germany. Originally written in Polish, this is an eloquent and unforgettable account of survival.
Re-examining the Holocaust through Literature
In the late 1980s, Holocaust literature emerged as a provocative, but poorly defined, scholarly field. The essays in this volume reflect the increasingly international and pluridisciplinary nature of this scholarship and the widening of the definition of Holocaust literature to include comic books, fiction, film, and poetry, as well as the more traditional diaries, memoirs, and journals. Ten contributors from four countries engage issues of authenticity, evangelicalism, morality, representation, personal experience, and wish-fulfillment in Holocaust literature, which have been the subject of controversies in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Of interest to students and instructors of antisemitism, national and comparative literatures, theater, film, history, literary criticism, religion, and Holocaust studies, this book also contains an extensive bibliography with references in over twenty languages which seeks to inspire further research in an international context.
Here There is No why
Memoirs of a Jew born in Warsaw in 1927 as Ruchama Rachel (Roma) Rotstein, to an Orthodox family. At an early stage of the German occupation her father fled to the Soviet zone of occupation and eventually reached Eretz Israel. Roth, her mother, and her three siblings were incarcerated in the Warsaw ghetto. Her siblings were deported in September 1942 and killed. Her mother then received a certificate for travel to Palestine for the family, sent by the father, but she was deported in January 1943 and killed. During the ghetto uprising, Roth was caught and deported to Majdanek. She was later transferred to Auschwitz, where she survived typhus fever, and then to Bergen-Belsen, where she was liberated. After the war she joined her father in Eretz Israel.

Das Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager Majdanek
Majdanek was established in 1941 near Lublin; it served, in turn, as a labor, concentration, transit, and extermination camp. Examines the camp's functions during three stages of development. Between fall 1941-summer 1942 it served as a camp for forced labor. Most of the prisoners who were employed in building the camp died within a short period due to the dreadful conditions. In the framework of the first phase of "Aktion Reinhardt", 1,000 Jewish women interned in Majdanek were shot. Between summer 1942-spring 1943 Majdanek became an extermination camp; by October 1942 three gas chambers were installed there. In the second phase of "Aktion Reinhardt", Majdanek became an extermination camp; ...
Making Women Pay
Once backed primarily by anti-abortion activists, fetal rights claims are now promoted by a wide range of interest groups in American society. Government and corporate policies to define and enforce fetal rights have become commonplace. These developments affect all women—pregnant or not—because women are considered "potentially pregnant" for much of their lives. In her powerful and important book, Rachel Roth brings a new perspective to the debate over fetal rights. She clearly delineates the threat to women's equality posed by the new concept of "maternal-fetal conflict," an idea central to the fetal rights movement in which women and fetuses are seen as having interests that are diame...
Human Learning: Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience
Human learning is studied in a variety of ways. Motor learning is often studied separately from verbal learning. Studies may delve into anatomy vs function, may view behavioral outcomes or look discretely at the molecular and cellular level of learning. All have merit but they are dispersed across a wide literature and rarely are the findings integrated and synthesized in a meaningful way. Human Learning: Biology, Brain, and Neuroscience synthesizes findings across these levels and types of learning and memory investigation.Divided into three sections, each section includes a discussion by the editors integrating themes and ideas that emerge across the chapters within each section. Section 1...
