A Garden of Eden in Hell: The Life of Alice Herz-Sommer
Alice Herz-Sommer was born in 1903 in Prague, the Prague of the Hapsburgs and of Franz Kafka, a family friend. Musically very gifted, by her mid-teens Alice was one of the best-known pianists in Prague. But as the Nazis swept across Europe her comfortable, bourgeois world began to crumble around her, as anti-Jewish feeling not only intensified but was legitimised. In 1942, Alice's mother was deported. Desperately unhappy, she resolved to learn Chopin's 24 Etudes - the most technically demanding piano pieces she knew - and the complex but beautiful music saved her sanity. A year later, she, too - together with her husband and their six-year-old son - was deported to a concentration camp. But even in Theresienstadt, music was her salvation and in the course of more than a hundred concerts she gave her fellow-prisoners hope in a world of pain and death. This is her remarkable story, but it is also the story of a mother's struggle to create a happy childhood for her beloved only son in the midst of atrocity and barbarism. Of 15,000 children sent to the camp, Raphael was one of the 130 who survived. Today, Alice Herz-Sommer lives in London and she still plays the piano every day.

Editorial Techniques in the Hebrew Bible
Editorial Techniques in the Hebrew Bible: Toward a Refined Literary Criticism presents and applies a model for understanding and reconstructing the diachronic development of the Hebrew Bible through historical criticism (or the historical-critical method). Reinhard Müller and Juha Pakkala refine the methodologies of literary and redaction criticism through a systematic investigation of the evidence of additions, omissions, replacements, and transpositions that are documented by divergent ancient textual traditions. At stake is not only historical criticism but also the Hebrew Bible as a historical source, for historical criticism has been and continues to be the only method to unwind those scribal changes that left no traces in textual variants.
In Search of Freedom and Self-determination
"'In Search of Freedom and Self Determination: A Tour Through the Anarchist Movements, in Graz, Austria, 1918-1938' presents a translation of a 2018 article by historian Reinhard Muller. Graz was a major node of anarchism in Central Europe during the interwar years, and was home to notable initiatives such as a multi-city network of underground vasectomy clinics established in the face of heavily criminalization of birth control. Also discussed is the early anti-fascist resistance of Graz anarchist affinity groups during the 1930s. The city’s most famous anarchist writer, Rudolf Grossmann aka Pierre Ramus, is relatively well-known in German-speaking anarchist circles, but relatively unknown in English aside from his involvement in a massive Paterson, New Jersey 1902 strike of Silkweavers."--Firestorm description.
Chaos from the Ancient World to Early Modernity
Chaos is a perennial source of fear and fascination. The original "formless void" (tohu-wa-bohu) mentioned in the book of Genesis, chaos precedes the created world: a state of anarchy before the establishment of cosmic order. But chaos has frequently also been conceived of as a force that persists in the cosmos and in society and threatens to undo them both. From the cultures of the ancient Near East and the Old Testament to early modernity, notions of the divine have included the power to check and contain as well as to unleash chaos as a sanction for the violation of social and ethical norms. Yet chaos has also been construed as a necessary supplement to order, a region of pure potentialit...

Die Säuberung
Nur wenige Tage nach dem ersten Moskauer Schauprozeß fand im September 1936 eine nichtöffentliche Versammlung deutscher Exilschriftsteller statt, eine Art «Geheimproze, der dem Ziel diente, «Abweichler», «Parteifeinde» und «Opportunisten» zu «liquidieren».

Evidence of Editing
A new perspective on editorial activity in the Hebrew Bible for research and teaching Evidence of Editing lays out the case for substantial and frequent editorial activity within the Hebrew Bible. The authors show how editors omitted, expanded, rewrote, and compiled both smaller and larger phrases and passages to address religious and political change. The book refines the exegetical method of literary and redaction criticism, and its results have important consequences for the future use of the Hebrew Bible in historical and theological studies. Features: Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic examples of editorial activity Clear explanations of the distinctions between textual, literary, and redaction criticism Fifteen chapters attesting to continual editorial activity in the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings
