Focused on 'The Holocaust in an Age of Genocide', Remembering for the Future brings together the work of nearly 200 scholars from more than 30 countries and features cutting-edge scholarship across a range of disciplines, amounting to the most extensive and powerful reassessment of the Holocaust ever undertaken. In addition to its international scope, the project emphasizes that varied disciplinary perspectives are needed to analyze and to check the genocidal forces that have made the Twentieth century so deadly. Historians and ethicists, psychologists and literary scholars, political scientists and theologians, sociologists and philosophers - all of these, and more, bring their expertise to bear on the Holocaust and genocide. Their contributions show the new discoveries that are being made and the distinctive approaches that are being developed in the study of genocide, focusing both on archival and oral evidence, and on the religious and cultural representation of the Holocaust.

Příběh dvou přátel, zakládající se na skutečné události, se odehrává v malé vesnici na Šumavě v letech 1928 – 1946. Zatímco Joseph zdědí velké hospodářství a ožení se se svou dívkou Verou, Nathanielova láska ke krásné Židovce Arelle nemá v podmínkách hrozby nastupujícího fašismu žádnou naději… Joseph odchází na vojnu a jeho žena zůstává sama s pěti dětmi, Nathaniel se však odmítá podřídit nacistické ideologii, a když má být odveden, raději se skrývá. Přesto je to na konci války paradoxně právě on, kdo se stane obětí českých „vlastenců“, kteří se mstí na německých obyvatelích. Také Arella je ochotna udělat všechno pro to, aby přežila. Podaří se jí uniknout tragickému osudu, nebo bude naplněna věštba, jež jí byla kdysi předpovězena? Počet stran: 252
