Resumen del Ebook

Libro Troubled Memory, Second Edition

This powerful book tells the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka by posing as Aryans. The family eventually made their way to New Orleans, where they became part of a vibrant Jewish community. Lawrence Powell traces their dramatic odyssey and explores the events that eventually triggered Anne Skorecki Levy's brave decision to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the recurring specter of racist hatred.

De un tiempo y de un país. La izquierda violenta (1968-1978)

Libro De un tiempo y de un país. La izquierda violenta (1968-1978)

Con motivo de la publicación de Los mitos de la guerra civil, y a falta, según parece, de mejores argumentos, el pasado de Pío Moa ha sido atacado y desvirtuado profusamente en la prensa. Seguramente este libro será útil para restablecer una visión más equilibrada. Se trata de un testimonio de una época crucial en nuestro pasado aún reciente. Moa fue uno de los dirigentes del PCE(r)-Grapo, que intentó empujar en un sentido revolucionario la historia de España, y esa experiencia queda aquí reflejada con nitidez, una claridad que no encontramos a menudo cuando abordamos las memorias ...
