Zeigt Titel in Judentum

Das Schicksal einer kämpferischen Frau, die den Holocaust überlebte: Als Zweijährige kam Roma Ligocka ins Krakauer Ghetto. Die ersten Jahre ihres Lebens waren von Angst und Grauen geprägt sowie der ständigen Sorge, die Liebsten zu verlieren. Doch ihr und ihrer Mutter gelang die Flucht. Eine polnische Familie, die von dem kleinen Mädchen im roten Mantel so gerührt war, versteckte sie, und nur so konnte sie überleben. Eine ergreifende Geschichte über ein düsteres Kapitel im 20. Jahrhundert.

Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of  RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions.

A powerful, moving memoir - and a practical guide to healing - written by Dr. Edith Eva Eger, an eminent psychologist whose own experiences as a Holocaust survivor help her treat patients and allow them to escape the prisons of their own minds. The Choice weaves Eger's personal story with case studies from her work as a psychologist. Her patients and their stories illustrate different phases of healing and show how people can choose to escape the prisons they construct in their minds and find freedom, regardless of circumstance.

Wenige Stunden bevor die 21-jährige Margot Bendheim mit ihrer Mutter und ihrem sechs Jahre jüngeren Bruder vor der nationalsozialistischen Bedrohung aus Berlin fliehen will, wird der Bruder von der Gestapo aufgegriffen.

Das Hörbuch erzählt, wie die Familie ten Boom in den Niederlanden während der Zeit des Naziregimes vielen Verfolgten Schutz bot und wie sie später selbst ins KZ gerät. Dort erlebte Corrie inmitten von Hass, Gewalt und Demütigungen immer wieder Gottes bewahrende Hilfe. Ein überwältigender Bericht von Schuld und Vergebung.

An audiobook for finding purpose and strength in times of great despair, the international best seller is still just as relevant today as when it was first published. Viktor Frankl’s riveting account of his time in the Nazi concentration camps, and his insightful exploration of the human will to find meaning in spite of the worst adversity, has offered solace and guidance to generations of readers/listeners since it was first published in 1946.

Benjamin Netanyahu is embroiled in numerous scandals, all of his own making, and may soon be ousted from the office he has held longer than any prior Israeli prime minister outside of David Ben Gurion. But Bibi, as he is known by friend and foe alike, is no stranger to controversy. For many in Israel and elsewhere, he is an embarrassment, a threat to democracy, even a precursor to Donald Trump. He nevertheless continues to dominate Israeli public life - and he may yet survive his current crises, the most challenging of his career. 

It is the story of a boy growing up in the war-torn Jerusalem of the 40s and 50s in a small apartment crowded with books in 12 languages and relatives speaking nearly as many. His mother and father, both wonderful people, were ill-suited to each other. When Oz was 12 and a half years old, his mother committed suicide - a tragedy that was to change his life. He leaves the constraints of the family and the community of dreamers, scholars, and failed businessmen to join a kibbutz.

Auf diesem Hörbuch wird die jüdische Kabbala in eindringlicher und gut verstehbarer Form erläutert. Die jahrtausende alte mystische Tradition des Judentums hat ihre Wurzeln in der Tora, zeigt aber in ihren Bezügen zum Neuplatonismus, der Gnosis und den mystischen Strömungen der anderen abrahamitischen Religionen auch einen universalen Charakter. Das grundlegende Motiv der Kaballah offenbart sich in dem tiefen Wunsch nach einer Unmittelbarkeit im Erleben des Göttlichen und dessen Ausstrahlung auf das praktische Leben.

"La nostra lingua manca di parole per esprimere questa offesa, la demolizione di un uomo". Con ostinazione e pacatezza, Primo Levi non ha mai smesso di cercare le parole per raccontare l'atrocità della deportazione e del campo di sterminio di Auschwitz, in cui venne internato dal febbraio 1944 al 27 gennaio 1945. Parole di testimonianza sconvolgente e di grande potenza narrativa che vengono qui accolte e restituite ad alta voce da Roberto Saviano.

Jonathan Kaufman tells the remarkable history of how two rival families participated in an economic boom that opened China to the world, but remained blind to the country's deep inequality and to the political turmoil at their doorsteps. In a story stretching from Baghdad to Hong Kong to Shanghai to London, Kaufman enters the lives and minds of these ambitious men and women to forge a tale of opium smuggling, family rivalry, political intrigue, and survival.

Israel is a tiny state, and yet it has captured the world's attention, aroused its imagination, and, lately, been the object of its opprobrium. Why does such a small country speak to so many global concerns? More pressingly: Why does Israel make the decisions it does? And what lies in its future? We cannot answer these questions until we understand Israel's people and the questions and conflicts, the hopes and desires, that have animated their conversations and actions.

Ian Kershaw's Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions That Changed the World, 1940-41 offers a penetrating insight into a series of momentous political decisions that shaped the course of the Second World War. The hurricane of events that marked the opening of the Second World War meant that anything could happen. For the aggressors there was no limit to their ambitions; for their victims a new Dark Age beckoned. Over the next few months their fates would be determined.

Das Hohelied der Liebe ist einer der ungewöhnlichsten Texte der jüdischen und christlichen Religionsgeschichte...

Unter Judentum versteht man die Gesamtheit aus Geschichte und Kultur, Religion und Tradition, des sich selbst als Volk Israel bezeichnenden...

Every one of us sooner or later walks through hell. The hell of being hurt, the hell of hurting another. The hell of cancer, the hell of a reluctant, thunking shovel full of earth upon the casket of someone we deeply loved, the hell of betrayal, the hell of betraying, the hell of divorce, the hell of a kid in trouble...the hell of knowing that this year, like any year, may be our last. We all walk through hell. The point is not to come out empty-handed.... There is real and profound power in the suffering we endure if we transform that suffering into a more authentic, meaningful life.

On 17 September 1944, General Kurt Student, the founder of Nazi Germany's parachute forces, heard the growing roar of aeroplane engines. He went out onto his balcony above the flat landscape of southern Holland to watch the air armada of Dakotas and gliders carrying the British 1st Airborne and the American 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions. He gazed up in envy at this massive demonstration of paratroop power. 

Flucht und Vertreibung, Aufbruch und Diaspora kennzeichnen die wechselvolle Geschichte des jüdischen Volkes...

Am 20. November 1945 eröffnete das Internationale Militärtribunal im Saal 600 des Nürnberger Justizpalastes den so genannten Hauptkriegsverbrecherprozess. Einer der 24 Angeklagten war der ehemalige Gauleiter von Franken, Julius Streicher, der zu den umtriebigsten und radikalsten Antisemiten des Dritten Reiches zählte. Die von ihm im Jahre 1923 gegründete Zeitschrift "Der Stürmer", die Mitte der 30er Jahre eine Auflage von fast 600.000 Exemplaren erreichte, hetzte Woche um Woche mit primitiven Karikaturen, abstoßenden Fotos, Ritualmord-Geschichten und zotigen Texten gegen das Judentum.

As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan.
