Židovské tradice a zvyky
Židovské tradice a zvyky představují jednu z nejzajímavějších a také nejrozmanitějších oblastí judaistiky, neboť daná problematika zasahuje i do mnoha dalších oborů, jako jsou historie, sociologie, pedagogika, právo, politologie, kulturologie či dějiny umění. Publikace pojednává o životě věřícího Žida a rituálech, které ho provázejí, o zvyklostech charakteristických pro každodenní život (například návštěva synagogy, kašrut), ale také o svátcích a významných dnech, jež tvoří nedílnou součást jeho života. Kniha je doplněna ilustracemi a přináší množství zajímavých informací jak pro odborné, tak i laické čtenáře zajímající se o židovskou kulturu. Druhé, upravené vydání publikace.
Visual Antisemitism in Central Europe
In eleven contributions, Visual Antisemitism in Central Europe, Imagery of Hatred deals with visual manifestations of antisemitism in Central Europe from the Middle Ages to the present day. The publication, which presents heretofore largely unknown materials, seeks responses from diverse perspectives to the question of the role of visuality in the development of antisemitic moods and political agendas that encouraged hatred towards Jews. The scope of visual anti-Judaism and antisemitism always was and still is very wide: from stereotypical depictions that can conceal an underlying message through humorous content, to clearly formulated assaults that aim to escalate animosity towards an imaginary collective enemy. The goal in both these cases is the exclusion of Jews from the majority society imagined as a monolithic whole, and the reification of a dividing line between "us" and "them". With its wide thematic and methodological range, this book offers a comprehensive image of the phenomenon of visual anti-Judaism and antisemitism and provides rich comparative material for the entire Central European region.
Deník Věrky Kohnové
Kohnovi v lednu roku 1942 nastoupili do transportu na plzeňském nádraží a už se nevrátili. Do jejich bytu se nastěhovali jiní nájemníci, jejich věci se postupně poztrácely. Zmizelo vše, kromě deníku, který si dvanáctiletá Věrka Kohnová schovala u kamarádky své matky. Jaké rodinné tajemství k němu po letech přivedlo spisovatelku Janu Poncarovou? Jedinečná publikace vznikla ve spolupráci s historikem Jiřím Sankotem a odhaluje pohnutý příběh židovské dívky, jejíž život násilně ukončila druhá světová válka.
Prague, Capital of the Twentieth Century
The story of modernity told through a cultural history of twentieth-century Prague Setting out to recover the roots of modernity in the boulevards, interiors, and arcades of the "city of light," Walter Benjamin dubbed Paris "the capital of the nineteenth century." In this eagerly anticipated sequel to his acclaimed Coasts of Bohemia: A Czech History, Derek Sayer argues that Prague could well be seen as the capital of the much darker twentieth century. Ranging across twentieth-century Prague's astonishingly vibrant and always surprising human landscape, this richly illustrated cultural history describes how the city has experienced (and suffered) more ways of being modern than perhaps any oth...

Rescue the Surviving Souls
"The mid-seventeenth century witnessed an enormous wave of Jewish refugees and forced migrants from the wars of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, who spread across the Jewish communities of Europe and Asia. A series of wars that hit the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth-the Khmelnytsky uprising of 1648; the Muscovite invasion that begin in 1654; and the Swedish incursion from 1655 to 1660-all together forced many Jews out of their homes. Though not the direct targets of the combatants, within a short time many were deeply involved in the conflicts, some becoming victims of violence and some becoming arms-bearing participants. But most became refugees and forced migrants. These refugees posed ...
