|  Produktbeschreibung (21307325): I grew up in Harlem. It was a tough neighborhood, a global melting pot of Jewish, Black, Irish and Italians fighting to survive. I fought more than others. All the anti-Semitism. This was the late 1930´s, at the start of Nazi Germany and Kristallnacht, the murdering of Jews that would continue through Hitler´s cowardly suicide in ´45. Imagine - surrounded by Catholics who were taught that Jews killed Jesus Christ. I had to flight all the time. Name-calling. Threats. It was constant. Sometimes I felt so alone. I ran with an Irish gang, the only Jew. As close as I was to them, when it came to Catholic vs. Jew, I was outnumbered. By myself. I didn´t fight the boys in my gang, but it seemed I fought everyone else on the block. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 12.95 bestellen! |

Return: Holocaust Survivors and Dutch Anti-Semitism (buecher.de - (Teil2)) |  Produktbeschreibung (22148997): While the Netherlands has often been thought of as a champion of racial and ethnic tolerance before and during World War II, more than 75 per cent of Dutch Jews were killed and those returning after the war were met with subtle but tough anti-Jewish sentiments as they tried to reclaim their former lives. For most survivors, the negative reactions were unexpected and shocking. Before the war, Dutch Jews had become part of the fabric of Dutch life and society, so the obstacles they faced upon their return were particularly painful and difficult to handle. The sobering picture presented in this title, based on research in archives, survivors´ memoirs and interviews with survivors, examines and chronicles the experiences of repatriated Jews in the Netherlands and sheds light on the continuing uneasiness and sensitivities between Jews and non-Jews there today. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 70.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21106897): Rich Cohen, author of the acclaimed Tough Jews, again narrates a little-known episode of Jewish history, this time altering what we thought we knew about the Holocaust.
Abba Kovner, Vitka Kempner, Ruzka Korczak-comrades, lovers, friends. In the Lithuanian ghetto of Vilna, they were the heart of a breathtakingly courageous underground movement, and when the ghetto was liquidated, they fled to the forests and joined other partisans in continued sabotage and resistance. Riveting, poignant and uplifting, The Avengers is a powerful exploration of resistance and revenge, of courage and dedication, and an inside look at some of the intrepid individuals who fought against the Holocaust and the nazi occupation of Europe. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 11.95 bestellen! |

| Produktbeschreibung (21164890): In an L.A. delicatessen, a group of Brooklyn natives gets together to discuss basketball, boxing, the weather back east, and the Jewish gangsters of yesteryear. Meyer Lansky. Bugsy Siegel. Louis Lepke, the self-effacing mastermind of Murder, Inc. Red Levine, the Orthodox hit man who refused to kill on the Sabbath. Abe ´´Kid Twist´´ Reles, who looked like a mama´s boy but once buried a rival alive. These are just some of the vibrant, vicious characters Rich Cohen´s father reminisced about and the author evokes so pungently in Tough Jews.
Tracing a generation of Jewish gangsters from the candy stores of Brownsville to the clubhouses of the Lower East Side--and, occasionally, to suites at the Waldorf--Cohen creates a densely anecdotal and gruesomely funny history of muscle, moxie, and money. Filled with fixers and schlammers, the squeal of tires and the rattle of gunfire, his book shatters stereotypes as deftly as its subjects once shattered kneecaps. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 10.95 bestellen! |
