Holocaust

Vienna, late 1930s. Curious, red-headed Inge Eisenger leads a privileged life with her glamorous, distant mother. When forced to flee from Nazi-occupied Austria to Switzerland, Inge sees her young life turned upside down. She hopes to finally connect with her mother during their escape, but her mother soon abandons her. Vulnerable and alone, Inge makes her way to Paris before reuniting with her grandmother in Central France. But even there, Inge endures one hardship after another-all while her grandmother keeps a family secret that, if revealed, could result in their whole family's demise.Running for Shelter is written by Inge's 15-year-old granddaughter, Suzette Sheft. The gripping, true story offers a window through which young adult readers can witness the challenges of growing up during the Holocaust. As this important chapter of history fades from living memory, Inge's tale offers hope to a new generation who must also cultivate courage and determination in the face of personal and political challenges.

Maximilian Kolbe's decision to take the place of a condemned man in the Auschwitz concentration camp is one of the greatest stories of heroism to emerge from the Holocaust. This book brings to life for a younger audience the incredible story of a Polish weaver's son who grew up to be a priest, a missionary, and a martyr.Kolbe lived amid the political unrest, the social change, and the spiritual battles that shaped the modern world. In the thick of it all, he had one goal--to share the love of God with as many people as possible. And he was a great innovator, spreading the Gospel through multimedia--a work that took him all the way to Nagasaki, Japan.With his deep love for Our Lady, Kolbe also founded a Marian movement that has spread throughout the world, the Militia Immaculatae, also known as the Knights of the Immaculata. His imitation of Mary's tremendous trust in God enabled him to bring hope everywhere he went, including a prison camp.

Tras la exitosa novela gráfica El diario de Anne Frank, el director de cine Ari Folman y la ilustradora Lena Guberman imaginan su historia desde una perspectiva original en la nueva novela gráfica Dónde está Anne Frank, que acompaña la película homónima. 'No tengo la menor idea de cuándo ni cómo volví a la vida, solo sé que esa noche se había desatado una terrible tormenta...'. Dónde está Anne Frank es una historia de aprendizaje y aventuras en la que conocemos de primera mano a Kitty, la amiga imaginaria de Anne Frank. Ambientada entre el presente y el pasado, la trama comienza cuando un rayo cae sobre el Museo Anne Frank de Ámsterdam y rompe el cristal que protege el diario manuscrito. Como por arte de magia, de su tinta cobra vida Kitty, quien no sabe que han transcurrido varias décadas desde la última vez que Anne le escribió ni dónde está su amiga. Desorientada, decide salir en busca de la verdad. Y al adentrarse en las calles de Ámsterdam va descubriendo no solo el destino de la familia Frank, sino las duras realidades que continúan conectando con la barbarie de entonces. El conjunto, además de celebrar el talento literario de Anne Frank, nos anima a seguir escuchando su incomparable voz, que conserva toda su vigencia a los setenta y cinco años de la primera publicación del Diario.

Holocaust Narratives: Trauma, Memory and Identity Across Generations analyzes individual multi-generational frameworks of Holocaust trauma to answer one essential question: How do these narratives change to not only transmit the trauma of the Holocaust - and in the process add meaning to what is inherently an event that annihilates meaning - but also construct the trauma as a connector to a past that needs to be continued in the present? Meaningless or not, unspeakable or not, unknowable or not, the trauma, in all its impossibilities and intractabilities, spawns literary and scholarly engagement on a large scale. Narrative is the key connector that structures trauma for both individual and collective.
