This is the story of an 18 year old boy who left his family and fled his native Vienna to Holland. There, as an illegal refugee, he was imprisoned in the state prizon at Veenhuizen, where he wrote a diary relating his experiences in 1938 in Vienna and Holland. The book goes on to tell of his survival during the war working on Dutch farms, acquiring forged documents from the underground, and hiding in Charlotte van Dijk's home in Utrecht from late 1942 onward. He even worked for the Dutch Psychotecnic Foundation in Utrect in 1943. His employers knew that he was a Jew and did not turn him in. The diary ends on December 31, 2938, with the question:" Where will I be next New Year's Eve?" The memoir completes this dramatic story.

This is the gripping story of a young girl and her two little sisters hidden in convents in Belgium during the Holocaust. Their mother's remarkable intuition and initiative, together with the selfless assistance and the vigilance of two righteous among the nations, George Ranson and Pere (Father) Bruno helped save them. Flora's story is one of the uncommon cases where good triumphed over absolute evil in the Holocaust; it is a tribute to those who took great risk to thwart the Nazis. The entire family survivred and Flora reflects on her parents: " I am at peace, no one killed them. They did not vanish without a trace like the millions of victims in the Holocaust. I know where they are buried and they rest in peace."

Viewers joining the six-decade-long journey of Samuel Bak's works through this catalog, are presented with a multi-faceted experience - an encounter with an artist dealing head-on with the basic question of ''how'' underlying the language of art, with an artist debating with himself about the abstract, the figurative and the gamut between them. A unique and private experience through art.

Rutka Laskier, a 14-year-old Jewish girl in the town of Bedzin in Poland, died in Auschwitz in 1943. But she left behind a notebook in which she recorded her thoughts, fears and dreams. Some are the musings of any adolescent girl; others are the despairing cries of an individual caught in history's vortex. Now, after 60 years in the keeping of a friend, that notebook has been recovered - and it opens a unique, moving window into the everyday life of Polish Jews caught in the throes of Adolf Hitler's Final Solution. Hailed as the "Polish Anne Frank," Rutka Laskier now speaks to us across the decades: a witness to evil, a voice for the silent, and a timeless symbol of resolve. The editors of "TIME" add annotations, photos, maps, and quotations that help bring this tragic era into compelling focus for today's readers.

Edition fac-similée d'un manuscrit et de dessins d'une Haggadah de Pessah du camp d'internement de Gurs, où les prisonniers Juifs avaient célébré la sortie d'Egypte derrière les barreaux. Le taux de mortalité était extrèmement élevé, en raison des conditions inhumaines de détention, du froid intense, de la mauvaise qualité de la nourriture, du bourbier permanent et des baraques qui étaient loin de servir d'abris. Au cours de l'été 1942, la majorité des prisonniers fut transférée à Drancy et de là à Auschwitz.
