Book Description
Yellow Star, Red Star asks why Holocaust memory continues to be so deeply troubled—ignored, appropriated, and obfuscated—throughout Eastern Europe, even though it was in those lands that most of the extermination campaign occurred. As part of accession to the European Union, Jelena Subotić shows, East European states were required to adopt, participate in, and contribute to the established Western narrative of the Holocaust. This requirement created anxiety and resentment in post-communist states: Holocaust memory replaced communist terror as the dominant narrative in Eastern Europe, focusing instead on predominantly Jewish suffering in World War II. Influencing the European Union's own memory politics and legislation in the process, post-communist states have attempted to reconcile these two memories by pursuing new strategies of Holocaust remembrance. The memory, symbols, and imagery of the Holocaust have been appropriated to represent crimes of communism. Yellow Star, Red Star presents in-depth accounts of Holocaust remembrance practices in Serbia, Croatia, and Lithuania, and extends the discussion to other East European states. The book demonstrates how countries of the region used Holocaust remembrance as a political strategy to resolve their contemporary "ontological insecurities"—insecurities about their identities, about their international status, and about their relationships with other international actors. As Subotić concludes, Holocaust memory in Eastern Europe has never been about the Holocaust or about the desire to remember the past, whether during communism or in its aftermath. Rather, it has been about managing national identities in a precarious and uncertain world.

Book Description
Agnes Kaposi was born in Hungary the year before Hitler came to power and started school at the outbreak of World War II. The Holocaust killed many of her family, together with half a million Hungarian Jews, but a series of miracles and coincidences allowed her to survive. She worked as a child labourer in the agricultural and armament camps of Austria and was liberated by a rampaging Soviet army. She struggled through post-war hardship to re-enter Hungarian society, only to be caught up for a decade in the vice of Stalinism. In 1956 a bloody revolution offered the opportunity to escape to Britain, a country of freedom and tolerance, where she started a family and built a career as a ground-breaking electrical engineering teacher and consultant. Dr Kaposi writes with compassion and optimism, without self-pity. The tone is light, and there is plenty of irony, even humour. The narrative is underscored by the historian László Csősz and illustrated by several maps and more than a hundred archival images and family photographs.

Book Description
"With a Yellow Star and a Red Cross is a description of Arnold Mostowicz's experiences in the Lodz ghetto and Nazi concentration camps. As a physician in the ghetto, and intermittently in the camps, he was a witness to and participant in events that have received little attention. For example, the book contains an account of a workers' demonstration in 1940 and a description of the Gypsy camp that the Nazis created on the edge of the ghetto. Mostowicz describes the antagonism between the Lodz Jews and the German and Czech Jews who were deported to the Lodz ghetto, and the ways in which some members of the Jewish underworld attempted to continue their illicit activities in ghetto conditions. He challenges many accepted views, particularly those of the survivors and historians who condemn Rumkowski, the 'Eldest of the Jews', as a Nazi collaborator. His memoir has the courage to confront a number of controversial issues, including ethical dilemmas that arose in the ghetto and camps. He questions the morality of his own actions in situations where the fate of others depended on his admittedly very limited power to make decisions. Through the unusual device of writing in the third person, Mostowicz invites readers to bear witness to his own and others' actions without consigning them to an absolute point of view."--BOOK JACKET.
