In this remarkable, historically significant book, Mordecai Paldiel recounts in vivid detail the many ways in which, at great risk to their own lives, Jews rescued other Jews during the Holocaust. In so doing he puts to rest the widely held belief that all Jews in Nazi-dominated Europe wore blinders and allowed themselves to be led like "lambs to the slaughter." Paldiel documents how brave Jewish men and women saved thousands of their fellow Jews through efforts unprecedented in Jewish history. Encyclopedic in scope and organized by country, Saving One's Own tells the stories of hundreds of Jewish activists who created rescue networks, escape routes, safe havens, and partisan fighting groups to save beleaguered Jewish men, women, and children from the Nazis. The rescuers' dramatic stories are often shared in their own words, and Paldiel provides extensive historical background and documentation. The untold story of these Jewish heroes, who displayed inventiveness and courage in outwitting the enemy--and in saving literally thousands of Jews--is finally revealed.

International tragedies, national disgraces, and local dangers: reporting can magnify trauma. But how can we gain a deeper analytical understanding of episodes seemingly too immediate for detached observation by our sources or even, perhaps, by ourselves? This volume brings together a broad range of current research in Europe and abroad, regarding an issue of crucial importance for understanding past cultures and our own. Papers discuss the ramifications of media-induced anxiety and anxiety-induced mediality, engaging the humanities, including history, film studies, literature, folklore, creative writing and adjacent fields intersected by sociology, politology, psychology, & anthropology. News media here include all means of mass communication impinging on daily experience, from books to music, from the social web to films, on multiple platforms and in multiple languages across municipal, state, and regional boundaries.

Harm reduction is one of the most important movements of the 20th century, and yet a compilation of its critical stories and voices was, until now, seemingly nowhere to be found. Saving Our Own Lives, an anthology of essays from long-time organizer Shira Hassan, fills this gap by telling the stories of how sex workers, people of color, queer folks, and trans, gender non-conforming, and two-spirit people are building systems of change and support outside the societal frameworks of oppression and exploitation. This is a collective story of Bad Date sheets passed between sex workers in Portland, leading to the identification of a serial killer. It is the story of clean syringes, “liberated” from empathetic doctors offices and passed between punks in squats in the East Village by women of color, and the early AIDS activists who made sure that everyone knew how to use them. It is the story of transwomen of color, street-based sex workers, who created shared housing to ensure that young people had safe places to sleep. It is the story of Black Panthers creating a free breakfast program to feed a revolution and the Young Lords taking over Lincoln Park Hospital in the Bronx to demand and ultimately create community-accessible drug treatment programs. At a political moment when Liberatory Harm Reduction and mutual aid are more important than ever, this book serves as an inspiration and a catalyst for radical transformation of our world.

Jesus said, "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." An attempt is made to identify the "Few". One learns there will be many more people who are not among the "Few". The problem is complicated in that most "Christians" are not true Christians. They will not be among the "Few". A large number of Christians use the church as a social phenomenon. They have been called the "Christian Paganism." The last judgment is that of the Great White Throne Judgment and will reveal billions "who had rejected God's Grace, refused His Mercy, and spurned His Love." The unbelievers are raised at the end of the 1000 years of Christ reign on earth. (The believers are raised at the beginning of Christ's reign on earth.) This is the unsaved of all ages. Billions upon billions will stand before God and be judged guilty. They are described as "death and hell" and are cast into the "lake of fire," which is the Second Death. Billions and billions will die the Second Death. Read on to learn who are the "Few".

The following book was translated and published in English: Ewa Kurek, YOUR LIFE IS WORTH MINE - How Polish Nuns Saved Hundreds of Jewish Children in German-Occupied Poland, foreword by Prof. Jan Karski, New York 1998. She has also contributed articles in English that were published in Polin (Oxford: Institute for Polish Jewish Studies), Embracing the Other (New York University Press) and From Shtetl to Socialism (LondonWashington). Her research on the subject of Polish-Jewish relations in World War II in Poland has been presented at several international academic congresses, including Yad Vashem, Jerusalem (1988), Princeton University (1993), and Columbia University (2007). In the book POLISH-JEWISH RELATIONS 1939-1945; BEYOND THE LIMITS OF SOLIDARITY, Ewa Kurek reconstructs the wartime history based almost exclusively on Jewish sources. Like in her other books, Ewa Kurek has the courage to raise important questions and the courage to search for equally important answers.

Karl Marx's 'Capital' is a seminal work in the study of political economy and sociology, delving into the social and economic structures of capitalist societies. Written in a dense and analytical style, the book explores the relationships between labor, commodities, and capital, offering profound insights into the dynamics of capitalist exploitation and alienation. Through a thorough examination of the capitalist mode of production, Marx uncovers the contradictions inherent in a system driven by profit and accumulation. The book's historical context, written in the mid-19th century, remains relevant today in understanding the foundations of modern economic systems. Karl Marx, a German philosopher and economist, was deeply influenced by the social inequalities and injustices of his time, leading him to write 'Capital' as a critique of capitalism. Drawing on his background in philosophy and political theory, Marx sought to provide a comprehensive analysis of the economic forces shaping society, advocating for a more equitable and just system. His groundbreaking theories on labor, value, and class struggle have had a lasting impact on social and political thought. I highly recommend 'Capital (Complete 3 Volume Edition)' to readers interested in delving into the complexities of capitalism and its effects on society. Marx's provocative analysis challenges readers to critically reflect on the structures of power and inequality that define our economic systems.
