Little was known about how 250,000 Jewish survivors made their way from concentration camps and labor camps after the war managed to make their way to Germany and Austria without obvious government help. The authors, survivors themselves, researched this amazing story of Zdenek Toman who helped from his position in the Czech Ministry of Interior.
JFK's Death and the Kabbalah
Basic psycho-pop retelling of the JFK-Dallas story of 1963.

A Social and Religious History of the Jews: High Middle Ages, 500-1200
This book explores the puzzling phenomenon of new veiling practices among lower middle class women in Cairo, Egypt. Although these women are part of a modernizing middle class, they also voluntarily adopt a traditional symbol of female subordination. How can this paradox be explained? An explanation emerges which reconceptualizes what appears to be reactionary behavior as a new style of political struggle--as accommodating protest. These women, most of them clerical workers in the large government bureaucracy, are ambivalent about working outside the home, considering it a change which brings new burdens as well as some important benefits. At the same time they realize that leaving home and family is creating an intolerable situation of the erosion of their social status and the loss of their traditional identity. The new veiling expresses women's protest against this. MacLeod argues that the symbolism of the new veiling emerges from this tense subcultural dilemma, involving elements of both resistance and acquiescence.
