Troubled Memory, Second Edition

Sinopsis del Libro

This powerful book tells the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka by posing as Aryans. The family eventually made their way to New Orleans, where they became part of a vibrant Jewish community. Lawrence Powell traces their dramatic odyssey and explores the events that eventually triggered Anne Skorecki Levy's brave decision to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the recurring specter of racist hatred.

A imagen de Cristo, el rey poseia dos cuerpos: natural el uno (sometido a las flaquezas y debilidades consustanciales al ser humano) y politico el otro (invisible, inmortal, infalible y destinado a una continuidad historica sin interrupciones). Pese a sus semejanzas con algunos conceptos paganos, Ernst H. Kantorowicz ...

Las tierras de Lugo en la edad moderna

Esta nueva entrega de la Galicia histórica, ofrece toda una visión estructural del mundo rural lucense en el Antiguo Régimen. Una de sus mayores aportaciones es la de abarcar el estudio de un área rural de la Galicia del Antiguo Régimen, hasta el momento sólo parcialmente tratada, desde una perspectiva integradora; en modo alguno se limita a analizar los principales parámetros demográficos y socioeconómicos que caracterizan la zona, sino que extiende su minucioso análisis hacia toda una serie de aspectos de gran interés para el conocimiento de la realidad cotidiana de los...
