Фред Вандер0.0 He grew up on the street, a high school dropout. In 1938 he left his mother and sister behind in Vienna and fled on foot to France, where later he was put on a train to Auschwitz. Transported from camp to camp, Fred Wander was haunted for twenty-five years by the crystalline, episodic stories that chronicle the plight of his fellow inmates. Only after the tragic death of his little daughter did these voices pour forth. The result was this novel, published in East Germany in 1970. Finally it appears in English in this masterful translation, its haunting cadences evoking Levi and Celan, its backstory as heartrending as Suite Française. Wander demonstrates that the survival of a single man is a collaborative enterprise. The Seventh Well, named after the well of truth, recalls Dante's Inferno with its mesmerizing descent into evil. Its existence is a miracle.
Амир Гутфренд0.0 The World a Moment Later is the shadow book of the offical Zionist lexicon. It is the book of those forgotten by the national narrative of Israel collected here to remember. These are the people who did not enter the encyclopedias, but still, their lives contributed anger, wisdom, despair, frustration, bitterness, malice and endless love to the country. This is a fully fledged humanistic novel which respects the myths of Theodore Herzel and Ze'ev Jabotinsky, but nonetheless is dedicated to the anonymous masses. It stems simultaneously from realism and fantasy, and provides an in-depth exploration of the question: what are we doing here?

Ладислаус Лёб0.0 To this day Rezso Kasztner remains a highly controversial figure, regarded by some as a traitor and others as a hero. This is the story of the man who saved hundreds from the Holocaust.
Денис Макшейн0.0 Denis MacShane, chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Inquiry into Antisemitism, argues that we are now facing an ideological assault based on hatred of Jews that threatens universal values and world peace. He considers how antisemitism has become a linking mechanism between different extremisms; how it operates in UK national party politics and in the European Parliament; and how Holocaust denial has hardened into an organized ideological position. Globalising Hatred is both a cri de coeur for a new tolerance and an attempt to throw light on a form of hatred that mobilizes politics across many continents.
Джеки Валльшлегер0.0 "This is a masterly biography. Jackie Wullschlager has a painter's eye, a historian's grasp of context and a novelist's pace and momentum. She gives back to Chagall's paintings the sharpness and strangeness that they had for his contemporaries, and she makes the story of his life so gripping that I couldn't put the book down".
