| la noche elie wiesel: One Long Night Andrea Pitzer, 2018-11-13 Masterly -- The New Yorker A Smithsonian Magazine Best History Book of the Year A groundbreaking, haunting, and profoundly moving history of modernity's greatest tragedy: concentration camps For over 100 years, at least one concentration camp has existed somewhere on Earth. First used as battlefield strategy, camps have evolved with each passing decade, in the scope of their effects and the savage practicality with which governments have employed them. Even in the twenty-first century, as we continue to reckon with the magnitude and horror of the Holocaust, history tells us we have broken our own solemn promise of never again. In this harrowing work based on archival records and interviews during travel to four continents, Andrea Pitzer reveals for the first time the chronological and geopolitical history of concentration camps. Beginning with 1890s Cuba, she pinpoints concentration camps around the world and across decades. From the Philippines and Southern Africa in the early twentieth century to the Soviet Gulag and detention camps in China and North Korea during the Cold War, camp systems have been used as tools for civilian relocation and political repression. Often justified as a measure to protect a nation, or even the interned groups themselves, camps have instead served as brutal and dehumanizing sites that have claimed the lives of millions. Drawing from exclusive testimony, landmark historical scholarship, and stunning research, Andrea Pitzer unearths the roots of this appalling phenomenon, exploring and exposing the staggering toll of the camps: our greatest atrocities, the extraordinary survivors, and even the intimate, quiet moments that have also been part of camp life during the past century. |
| la noche elie wiesel: Dawn Elie Wiesel, 2006-03-21 Elie Wiesel's Dawn is an eloquent meditation on the compromises, justifications, and sacrifices that human beings make when they murder other human beings. The author . . . has built knowledge into artistic fiction. —The New York Times Book Review Elisha is a young Jewish man, a Holocaust survivor, and an Israeli freedom fighter in British-controlled Palestine; John Dawson is the captured English officer he will murder at dawn in retribution for the British execution of a fellow freedom fighter.

| la noche elie wiesel: Vita Aeterna / Outliers Jay Allan Storey, 2022-02 With the fate of the world in the balance, one outlier could tip the scales towards salvation or disaster. Book 1: Vita Aeterna On his sixteenth birthday, Alex Barret is scheduled for a medical procedure called Appraisal. Meant to moderately extend life, Appraisal is unpredictable, and in rare cases, like for Alex's dad, can actually shorten it. Alex has heard of every Appraisal scenario over the years - on the day of his treatment, he knows what to expect. So how is it possible that Alex's outcome is 'none of the above'? Now he's on the run from a ruthless army led by the most powerful man in the world, and his only hope is to track down his long-lost uncle - who's supposed to be dead. Book 2: Outliers Since his 'death' forty years ago, Alex Barret has been hiding deep in the Dregs, with only a trio of dogs: Shake, Rattle, and Roll, as his companions. During his absence, the Elite and the Corps have regained control after the short lived Rebel incursion into the First Circle. A mysterious message reaches Alex from an unknown source, implying that there may be another 'Outlier' with his incredible response to the Appraisal process - a girl. The message also claims that Vita Aeterna, supposedly crushed by the revolt forty years ago, is still alive. If you like gritty dystopian worlds, fast-paced action, and captivating stories of survival, then you'll love Jay Allan Storey's dark and edgy tales. |
| la noche elie wiesel: History and Memory after Auschwitz Dominick LaCapra, 2018-09-05 The relations between memory and history have recently become a subject of contention, and the implications of that debate are particularly troubling for aesthetic, ethical, and political issues. Dominick LaCapra focuses on the interactions among history, memory, and ethicopolitical concerns as they emerge in the aftermath of the Shoah. Particularly notable are his analyses of Albert Camus's novella The Fall, Claude Lanzmann's film Shoah, and Art Spiegelman's comic book Maus. LaCapra also considers the Historians' Debate in the aftermath of German reunification and the role of psychoanalysis in historical understanding and critical theory. In six essays, LaCapra addresses a series of related questions. Are there experiences whose traumatic nature blocks understanding and disrupts memory while producing belated effects that have an impact on attempts to address the past? Do some events present moral and representational issues even for groups or individuals not directly involved in them? Do those more directly involved have special responsibilities to the past and the way it is remembered in the present? Can or should historiography define itself in a purely scholarly and professional way that distances it from public memory and its ethical implications? Does art itself have a special responsibility with respect to traumatic events that remain invested with value and emotion? |

| la noche elie wiesel: Treblinka Chil Rajchman, 2013-11-05 Chil Rajchman, a Polish Jew, was arrested with his younger sister in 1942 and sent to Treblinka, a death camp where more than 750,000 were murdered before it was abandoned by German soldiers. His sister was sent to the gas chambers, but Rajchman escaped execution, working for ten months under incessant threats and beatings as a barber, a clothes-sorter, a corpse-carrier, a puller of teeth from those same bodies. In August 1943, there was an uprising at the camp, and Rajchman was among the handful of men who managed to escape. In 1945, he set down this account, a plain, unembellished and exact record of the raw horror he endured every day. This unique testimony, which has remained in the sole possession of his family ever since, has never before been published in English. For its description of unspeakably cruelty, Treblinka is a memoir that will not be superseded. In addition to Rajchman's account, this volume will include the complete text of Vasily Grossman's The Hell of Treblinka, one of the first descriptions of a Nazi extermination camp; a powerful and harrowing piece of journalism written only weeks after the camp was dissolved. |

| la noche elie wiesel: Still Alive Ruth Kluger, 2003-04-01 A controversial bestseller likened to Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, Still Alive is a harrowing and fiercely bittersweet Holocaust memoir of survival: a book of breathtaking honesty and extraordinary insight (Los Angeles Times). Swept up as a child in the events of Nazi-era Europe, Ruth Kluger saw her family's comfortable Vienna existence systematically undermined and destroyed. By age eleven, she had been deported, along with her mother, to Theresienstadt, the first in a series of concentration camps which would become the setting for her precarious childhood. Interwoven with blunt, unsparing observations of childhood and nuanced reflections of an adult who has spent a lifetime thinking about the Holocaust, Still Alive rejects all easy assumptions about history, both political and personal. Whether describing the abuse she met at her own mother's hand, the life-saving generosity of a woman SS aide in Auschwitz, the foibles and prejudices of Allied liberators, or the cold shoulder offered by her relatives when she and her mother arrived as refugees in New York, Kluger sees and names an unexpected reality which has little to do with conventional wisdom or morality tales. Among the reasons that Still Alive is such an important book is its insistence that the full texture of women's existence in the Holocaust be acknowledged, not merely as victims. . . . [Kluger] insists that we look at the Holocaust as honestly as we can, which to her means being unsentimental about the oppressed as well as about their oppressors. —Washington Post Book World |
| la noche elie wiesel: The Trial of God Elie Wiesel, 1995-11-14 The Trial of God (as it was held on February 25, 1649, in Shamgorod) A Play by Elie Wiesel Translated by Marion Wiesel Introduction by Robert McAfee Brown Afterword by Matthew Fox Where is God when innocent human beings suffer? This drama lays bare the most vexing questions confronting the moral imagination. Set in a Ukranian village in the year 1649, this haunting play takes place in the aftermath of a pogrom. Only two Jews, Berish the innkeeper and his daughter Hannah, have survived the brutal Cossack raids. When three itinerant actors arrive in town to perform a Purim play, Berish demands that they stage a mock trial of God instead, indicting Him for His silence in the face of evil. Berish, a latter-day Job, is ready to take on the role of prosecutor. But who will defend God? A mysterious stranger named Sam, who seems oddly familiar to everyone present, shows up just in time to volunteer. The idea for this play came from an event that Elie Wiesel witnessed as a boy in Auschwitz: “Three rabbis—all erudite and pious men—decided one evening to indict God for allowing His children to be massacred. I remember: I was there, and I felt like crying. But there nobody cried.” Inspired and challenged by this play, Christian theologians Robert McAfee Brown and Matthew Fox, in a new Introduction and Afterword, join Elie Wiesel in the search for faith in a world where God is silent. |

| la noche elie wiesel: Genocide as Social Practice Daniel Feierstein, 2014-05-14 Genocide not only annihilates people but also destroys and reorganizes social relations, using terror as a method. In Genocide as Social Practice, social scientist Daniel Feierstein looks at the policies of state-sponsored repression pursued by the Argentine military dictatorship against political opponents between 1976 and 1983 and those pursued by the Third Reich between 1933 and 1945. He finds similarities, not in the extent of the horror but in terms of the goals of the perpetrators. The Nazis resorted to ruthless methods in part to stifle dissent but even more importantly to reorganize German society into a Volksgemeinschaft, or people’s community, in which racial solidarity would supposedly replace class struggle. The situation in Argentina echoes this. After seizing power in 1976, the Argentine military described its own program of forced disappearances, torture, and murder as a “process of national reorganization” aimed at remodeling society on “Western and Christian” lines. For Feierstein, genocide can be considered a technology of power—a form of social engineering—that creates, destroys, or reorganizes relationships within a given society. It influences the ways in which different social groups construct their identity and the identity of others, thus shaping the way that groups interrelate. Feierstein establishes continuity between the “reorganizing genocide” first practiced by the Nazis in concentration camps and the more complex version—complex in terms of the symbolic and material closure of social relationships —later applied in Argentina. In conclusion, he speculates on how to construct a political culture capable of confronting and resisting these trends. First published in Argentina, in Spanish, Genocide as Social Practice has since been translated into many languages, now including this English edition. The book provides a distinctive and valuable look at genocide through the lens of Latin America as well as Europe. |
| la noche elie wiesel: The Children of Willesden Lane Mona Golabek, Lee Cohen, 2017-12-14 Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist.

A memoir of courage, survival, and the power of music to uplift the human spirit, this compelling tribute to one special young woman and the lives she touched will both educate and inspire young readers. Based on a true story of a 14 year old girl Lisa Jura, who had to flee her home in Vienna and rebuild her life in London, the story brings home the reality of the Holocaust to readers aged 12 and up. |
| la noche elie wiesel: Black Dog of Fate Peter Balakian, 2009-02-10 His visions are burning -- his poetry heartbreaking, wrote Elie Wiesel of American poet Peter Balakian. Now, in elegant prose, the prize-winning poet who James Dickey called an extraordinary talent has written a compelling memoir about growing up American in a family that was haunted by a past too fraught with terror to be spoken of openly. Black Dog of Fate is set in the affluent New Jersey suburbs where Balakian -- the firstborn son of his generation -- grew up in a close, extended family. At the center of what was a quintessential American baby boom childhood lay the dark specter of a trauma his forebears had experienced -- the Ottoman Turkish government's extermination of more than a million Armenians in 1915, the century's first genocide. In a story that climaxes to powerful personal and moral revelations, Balakian traces the complex process of discovering the facts of his people's history and the horrifying aftermath of the Turkish government's campaign to cover up one of the worst crimes ever committed against humanity. In describing his awakening to the facts of history, Balakian introduces us to a remarkable family of matriarchs and merchants, physicians, a bishop, and his aunts, two well-known figures in the world of literature. The unforgettable central figure of the story is Balakian's grandmother, a survivor and widow of the Genocide who speaks in fragments of metaphor and myth as she cooks up Armenian delicacies, plays the stock market, and keeps track of the baseball stats of her beloved Yankees. The book is infused with the intense and often comic collision between this family's ancient Near Eastern traditions and the American pop culture of the '50s and '60s.Balakian moves with ease from childhood memory, to history, to his ancestors' lives, to the story of a poet's coming of age. Written with power and grace, Black Dog of Fate unfolds like a tapestry its tale of survival against enormous odds. Through the eyes of a poet, here is the arresting story of a family's journey from its haunted past to a new life in a new world. |

| la noche elie wiesel: A Thousand Darknesses Ruth Franklin, 2010-11-19 What is the difference between writing a novel about the Holocaust and fabricating a memoir? Do narratives about the Holocaust have a special obligation to be 'truthful'--that is, faithful to the facts of history? Or is it okay to lie in such works? In her provocative study A Thousand Darknesses, Ruth Franklin investigates these questions as they arise in the most significant works of Holocaust fiction, from Tadeusz Borowski's Auschwitz stories to Jonathan Safran Foer's postmodernist family history. Franklin argues that the memory-obsessed culture of the last few decades has led us to mistakenly focus on testimony as the only valid form of Holocaust writing. As even the most canonical texts have come under scrutiny for their fidelity to the facts, we have lost sight of the essential role that imagination plays in the creation of any literary work, including the memoir. Taking a fresh look at memoirs by Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi, and examining novels by writers such as Piotr Rawicz, Jerzy Kosinski, W.G. Sebald, and Wolfgang Koeppen, Franklin makes a persuasive case for literature as an equally vital vehicle for understanding the Holocaust (and for memoir as an equally ambiguous form). The result is a study of immense depth and range that offers a lucid view of an often cloudy field. |

| la noche elie wiesel: Salvation Is from the Jews Roy H. Schoeman, 2019-04-15 The book traces the role of Judaism and the Jewish people in God's plan for the salvation of mankind, from Abraham through the Second Coming, as revealed by the Catholic faith and by a thoughtful examination of history. It will give Christians a deeper understanding of Judaism, both as a religion in itself and as a central component of Christian salvation. To Jews it reveals the incomprehensible importance, nobility and glory that Judaism most truly has. It examines the unique and central role Judaism plays in the destiny of the world. It documents that throughout history attacks on Jews and Judaism have been rooted not in Christianity, but in the most anti-Christian of forces. Areas addressed include: the Messianic prophecies in Jewish scripture; the anti-Christian roots of Nazi anti-Semitism; the links between Nazism and Arab anti-Semitism; the theological insights of major Jewish converts; and the role of the Jews in the Second Coming. Perplexed by controversies new and old about the destiny of the Jewish people? Read this book by a Jew who became a Catholic for a well-written, provocative, ground-breaking account.

| la noche elie wiesel: Armenian Golgotha Grigoris Balakian, 2009-03-31 On April 24, 1915, Grigoris Balakian was arrested along with some 250 other leaders of Constantinople’s Armenian community. It was the beginning of the Ottoman Empire’s systematic attempt to eliminate the Armenian people from Turkey—a campaign that continued through World War I and the fall of the empire. Over the next four years, Balakian would bear witness to a seemingly endless caravan of blood, surviving to recount his miraculous escape and expose the atrocities that led to over a million deaths. Armenian Golgotha is Balakian’s devastating eyewitness account—a haunting reminder of the first modern genocide and a controversial historical document that is destined to become a classic of survivor literature. |

The master has once again found a startling freshness.”—Le Monde des Livres A European expatriate living in New York, Doriel suffers from a profound sense of desperation and loss. His mother, a member of the Resistance, survived World War II only to die soon after in France in an accident, together with his father. Doriel was a hidden child during the war, and his knowledge of the Holocaust is largely limited to what he finds in movies, newsreels, and books. Doriel’s parents and their secrets haunt him, leaving him filled with longing but unable to experience the most basic joys in life. He plunges into an intense study of Judaism, but instead of finding solace, he comes to believe that he is possessed by a dybbuk. Surrounded by ghosts, spurred on by demons, Doriel finally turns to Dr. Thérèse Goldschmidt, a psychoanalyst who finds herself particularly intrigued by her patient. The two enter into an uneasy relationship based on exchange: of dreams, histories, and secrets. And despite Doriel’s initial resistance, Dr. Goldschmidt helps bring him to a crossroads—and to a shocking denouement. “In its own high-stepping yet paradoxically heart-wracking way, [Wiesel’s novel] can most assuredly be considered beautiful (almost beyond belief).”—The Philadelphia Inquirer |

| la noche elie wiesel: Philip Roth. La biografía Blake Bailey, 2022-05-19 Un retrato imprescindible de un maestro estadounidense y de la escena literaria de la posguerra. La figura del escritor ha encontrado pocas encarnaciones tan emblemáticas como en Philip Roth. Tras pasar años estudiando a fondo su archivo personal, Blake Bailey realizó entrevistas a amigos, amantes y colegas, y mantuvo conversaciones de una franqueza asombrosa con el propio Roth. Esta biografía recorre la vida del autor, desde su infancia, en un entorno judío de clase media-baja, hasta la cumbre de su fama. Analiza el peso que su desastroso primer matrimonio tuvo en su carrera, su labor en beneficio de colegas disidentes del otro lado del Telón de Acero, su rivalidad con amigos como John Updike o William Styron y su tumultuosa vida amorosa, en especial su relación con Claire Bloom. Un texto honesto y documentado a conciencia que rastrea el recorrido de un maestro de la novela tan amado como cuestionado, pero imprescindible para la literatura contemporánea. La crítica ha dicho: « Philip Roth. La biografía (Debate), del perseguidor de vidas de escritores Blake Bailey, es una proeza en la que asombra cómo su autor persigue el dédalo de interminables detalles documentados hasta la extenuación de los 85 años que vivió el hombre que escribió El lamento de Portnoy sin que la prosa del conjunto desfallezca. [...] Bailey, [...] logra ahora al pelearse con el fantasma de Roth durante casi mil páginas que el adjetivo apasionante no suene manido y huero». Daniel Arjona, El Confidencial «Minuciosa y rica en detalles, la obra de Bailey dota de un marco y una profundidad esclarecedores, siempre eludiendo el juicio moral, a la obra del autor, tan paralela a su vida». Andrés Seoane, La Lectura, El Mundo «Una biografía encantadora, sabia e ingeniosa que logra un equilibrio y una exhaustividad que parecerían imposibles tras tan poco tiempo de la muerte de Roth». Jonathan Lethem «Todo lo que siempre quiso saber sobre Philip Roth lo puede descubrir en sus novelas. Todo lo que siempre quiso saber sobre lo que le costó convertirse en uno de los mayores escritores estadounidenses de nuestro tiempo lo encontrará en la impresionante biografía de Blake Bailey». Nicole Krauss «La novela del siglo XIX sigue viva. Su nombre hoy es «biografía»; su naturaleza es de magnitud dostoievskiana. Y el exhaustivo relato de la vida de Philip Roth que hace Bailey es una obra maestra de la narrativa». Cynthia Ozick «Superlativa, definitiva y genuinamente apasionante. Guía con lucidez a través de un denso palimpsesto de identidades ficticias, enemistades literarias y mujeres». The Sunday Times «Una lectura compulsiva.Magníficamente escrita.

La vida de Jorge Semprún Soledad Maura, 2016-05-12 Nueva edición de la biografía definitiva de Jorge Semprún, un personaje de leyenda que atravesó el siglo XX español y europeo en primera línea, revisada y con un nuevo prólogo de Paul Preston. La vida de Jorge Semprún es prácticamente la historia de Europa en el siglo XX, y quizá sea el español que más se acerque a «los desarraigados viajeros del siglo», como Tony Judt describió a los intelectuales. Sin duda, junto a Picasso y García Lorca, es el español del siglo XX con mayor proyección y relevancia internacional. En esta absorbente biografía Soledad Fox sigue la increíble trayectoria de Semprún, desde su nacimiento en 1923, en una familia de la alta burguesía madrileña; el trauma de la guerra civil y el exilio; el paso por el maquis y la deportación a Buchenwald; la militancia comunista; su reinvención como escritor y guionista tras la tumultuosa salida del PCE; y su paso por el Ministerio de Cultura español en el gobierno de Felipe González. Fox ha invertido cinco años y una impecable labor de investigación en archivos de Francia y España y más de cincuenta entrevistas para conseguir la excelente biografía que un personaje como Semprún merece. La crítica ha dicho: «Jorge Semprún fue uno de estos héores discretos gracias a los cuales el mundo en que vivimos no está peor de lo que está y queda siempre margen para la esperanza.» Mario Vargas Llosa «Un testigo excepcional del siglo XX.» César Antonio Molina |
| la noche elie wiesel: El libro del destino José Gordon, 2023-04-18 «¿Cómo leer lo que nos va a pasar? Si como en un holograma todo está escrito en cada parte, ¿existe un código que también se cifra en las configuraciones estelares? ¿Será posible leer algo que se parece al ADN en la oscuridad del cielo?» Mijael y Heny tienen ya algunos años viviendo juntos. Él es un hombre de ciencia, obstinado en buscarle una explicación a todo; ella es una talentosa estudiante de teatro que enfrenta el problema de un doble amor. Conscientes del inevitable conflicto, deciden, pese a la incredulidad de Mijael, visitar a una astróloga para que les ayude a comprender lo que está pasando. Entre viejos manuscritos y cartas celestes, Dora, crítica de teatro experta en artes adivinatorias —conocedora de los misterios del lenguaje y la poesía—, confirma sus sospechas: la ruptura es impostergable. Flota el aire la tragedia del pasado de la madre de Mijael que, paradójicamente, abre una puerta que dará un giro inesperado a sus vidas. Mijael pronto descubrirá que el destino tiene sus propias reglas. |
