How the Jews Defeated Hitler
Author: Benjamin Ginsberg
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442222387
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
One of the most common assumptions about World War II is that the Jews did not actively or effectively resist their own extermination at the hands of the Nazis. In this powerful book, Benjamin Ginsberg convincingly argues that the Jews not only resisted the Germans but actually played a major role in the defeat of Nazi Germany. The question, he contends, is not whether the Jews fought but where and by what means. True, many Jews were poorly armed, outnumbered, and without resources, but Ginsberg shows persuasively that this myth of passivity is solely that--a myth. Instead, the Jews resisted strongly in four key ways: through their leadership role in organizing the defense of the Soviet Union, their influence and scientific research in the United States, their contribution to allied espionage and cryptanalysis, and their importance in European resistance movements. In this compelling, cogent history, we discover that Jews contributed powerfully to Hitler's defeat.

Victory Over Nazism
Author: Bronia Sonnenschein
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780973651713
Category : Holocaust survivors
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
This third edition of the book of writings by and about Bronia Sonnenschein (by many contributors) is over a hundred pages longer than the second edition, and contains over a hundred photos. It traces Bronia's life from her early days of a happy life in Vienna, through the Nazi annexation of Austria and the following years of persecution, slave labor, and horror in such places as the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, Stutthof, and Dresden. The book continues with the rebuilding of her life, first in Prague and then in Vancouver, Canada, where she lived from 1950 until her death in 2011. As a single mother upon the untimely death of her husband soon after they arrived in Vancouver, she worked hard to provide for her two children. After retirement from her job, she became a volunteer, eventually embarking on a 21-year, late-life career as a Holocaust educator, making a tremendous impact on thousands of students, as well as many teachers and members of the public. The book contains articles and comments from all these types of people, who learned much from her and greatly admired her. It also includes some of the correspondence she had with Holocaust survivors and scholars, including Viktor Frankl, Simon Wiesenthal, Martin Gilbert, Robert Krell, and Alan Adelson. An epilog contains the moving eulogy by historian Chris Friedrichs, and tributes by others who deeply respected Bronia. The book concludes with a section of detailed notes and an extensive bibliography.

Mein Kampf
Author: Adolf Hitler
Publisher: ببلومانيا للنشر والتوزيع
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
Madman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's party. In 1924, Hitler led a coalition of nationalist groups in a bid to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. The infamous Munich "Beer-hall putsch" was unsuccessful, and Hitler was arrested. During the nine months he was in prison, an embittered and frustrated Hitler dictated a personal manifesto to his loyal follower Rudolph Hess. He vented his sentiments against communism and the Jewish people in this document, which was to become Mein Kampf, the controversial book that is seen as the blue-print for Hitler's political and military campaign. In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes his strategy for rebuilding Germany and conquering Europe. It is a glimpse into the mind of a man who destabilized world peace and pursued the genocide now known as the Holocaust.
