Kamienny sufit. Opowieść o pierwszych taterniczkach
Bezkompromisowe, zdeterminowane i wolne. Niezwykła opowieść o kobietach, które nie bały się wyznaczać nowych dróg. Bywały przedmiotem drwin. Dziwaczne i ekscentryczne, bezczelne, szalone. Inne. Wypuszczały się w góry w poszukiwaniu przeżyć, miały odwagę realizować marzenia. Góralki spluwały za nimi, kiedy w pumpach i z plecakiem ruszały na szlak. Mężczyźni wyśmiewali: „Kobieta nigdy rasowym taternikiem nie będzie”. One jednak nie dały za wygraną. Z odwagą i determinacją wytyczały nowe drogi, mierzyły się ze strachem i ograniczeniami. Wszystko po to, żeby dotrzeć do miejsc, w których czuły się wolne. Sto lat później Anna Król, zainspirowana wyczynam...
Interdisciplinary Investigations into the Lvov-Warsaw School
This book presents the heritage of the Lvov-Warsaw School from both the historical and the philosophical perspective. The historical view focuses on the beginnings and the dramatic end of the School brought about by the outbreak of World War II. The philosophical view, on the other hand, encompasses a broad spectrum of issues, including logical, epistemological, axiological, and psychological problems, revealing the interdisciplinary nature of studies carried out by Kazimierz Twardowski and his students. With thirteen diverse and original essays this volume is split into three parts: History, Culture and Axiology; Psychology; and Logic and Methodology. Exploring not only the history of philo...
Life, Death and Sacrifice
From out of a world of death and destruction, extermination camps, ghettos, starvation and disease, there rises the figure of the woman in the Holocaust -- the core of the fascinating studies in this collection. The importance of these research essays is, above all, their historical documentation of situations and events related to women in the Holocaust. In the face of imminent death, there was kindness to be seen, self-sacrifice, and the saving of another's life. And from a world that had lost all semblance of humanity came a sense of independence that welled up in the survivors, infusing them with the spirit of life as they emerged from the inferno. And what is for me the most moving, the...
The Jewish Women of Ravensbrück Concentration Camp
Ravensbrück was the only major Nazi concentration camp for women. Located about fifty miles north of Berlin, the camp was the site of murder by slave labor, torture, starvation, shooting, lethal injection, "medical" experimentation, and gassing. While this camp was designed to hold 5,000 women, the actual figure was six times this number. Between 1939 and 1945, 132,000 women from twenty-three countries were imprisoned in Ravensbrück, including political prisoners, Jehovah's Witnesses, "asocials" (including Gypsies, prostitutes, and lesbians), criminals, and Jewish women (who made up about 20 percent of the population). Only 15,000 survived. Drawing upon more than sixty narratives and inter...

The Young Victims of the Nazi Regime
During the Nazi regime many children and young people in Europe found their lives uprooted by Nazi policies, resulting in their relocation around the globe. The Young Victims of the Nazi Regime represents the diversity of their experiences, covering a range of non-European perspectives on the Second World War and aspects of memory. This book is unique in that it places the experiences of children and youth in a transnational context, shifting the conversation of displacement and refuge to countries that have remained under-examined in a comparative context. Featuring essays from an international range of experts, this book analyses the key themes in three sections: the migration of children ...
