Stretnutie tých, čo prežili šoa
Kniha dokumentuje príbehy preživších holokaust, ktorí boli súčasťou domova seniorov Ohel David a prvýkrát vyšla práve pri príležitosti 20. výročia jeho existencie. Publikácia je slovensko-anglická a nájdete v nej okrem literárnych faktografických textov aj umelecké portréty, ktorých autorom je fotograf Tomáš Halász. Redakčne texty pripravila Soňa Jánošová a Kristína Jurčišinová. Za grafickým spracovaním stojí dizajnérka Katarína Balážiková.
Príbehy v knihe sú rozdelené do troch kapitol a reflektujú rôznorodé osudy Židov počas holokaustu. Prvá kapitola sa venuje najmä preživším koncentračné tábory, druhá osobám, ktoré sa počas tohto obdobia rôznym spôsobom ukrývali a tretia ľuďom, ktorí sa zapojili do protifašistického odboja. Rôznorodosť príbehov vytvára mozaiku, ktorá v celku sprostredkuje neprikrášlený obraz o živote židovských občanov počas obdobia druhej svetovej vojny a Slovenského štátu.
V dobe radikalizácie spoločnosti a vzrastajúcej podpore fašizmu, rasizmu a aj antisemitizmu považuje Post Bellum a Ohel David za stále dôležitejšie prinášať príbehy ľudí, ktoré na vlastnej koži zažili hrôzy spôsobené práve týmito izmami a dokázali ich pretransformovať na silnú a inšpiratívnu životnú skúsenosť. Publikácia je určená aj pre pedagógov ako pomôcka v rámci vyučovacieho procesu a pre historikov ako doplnok k výskumu v oblasti témy Slovenského štátu.
Monsters We Defy
Clara Johnson can talk to spirits - a gift that saved her during her darkest moments, now a curse that's left her indebted to the cunning spirit world.
So when a powerful spirit offers her an opportunity to gain her freedom, Clara seizes the chance. The task: steal a magical ring from the wealthiest woman in the District.
Clara can't pull off this daring heist alone. To pull off the impossible, she'll need help from an unlikely team: from a handsome jazz musician able to hypnotize with a melody, to an aging actor who can change his face.
But as conflict in the spirit world begins to leak into the human one - an insidious mystery is unfolding, one that could cost Clara her life.

Roast Beef, Medium: The Business Adventures of Emma McChesney
Edna Ferber, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Show Boat and Giant, achieved her first great success with a series of stories she published in American Magazine between 1911 and 1913. The stories featured Emma McChesney: smart, savvy, stylish, divorced mother, and Midwest traveling sales representative for T. A. Buck's Featherloom skirts and petticoats. With one hand on her sample case and the other fending off advances from salesmen, hotel clerks, and other predators, Emma holds on tightly to her reputation: honest, hardworking, and able to outsell the slickest salesman. Like her compact bag of traveling necessities, Emma has her life boiled down to essentials: her work and her seventeen-year-old son, Jock. Her experience has taught her that it's best to stick to roast beef, medium--avoiding both physical and moral indigestion--rather than experiment with fancy sauces and exotic dishes. Yet she never shies away from a challenge, and her sharp instincts and common sense serve her well in dealing with the likes of Ed Meyer, a smooth-talking, piano-playing salesman; Blanche LeHay, prima donna of the Sam Levin Crackerjack Belles; and T. A. Buck Jr., the wet-behind-the-ears son of the founder of Featherloom.
