Courage to Dream
National Book Award winner Neal Shusterman and acclaimed illustrator Andrés Vera Martínez present a graphic novel exploring the Holocaust through surreal visions and a textured canvas of heroism and hope.
Courage to Dream plunges readers into the Holocaust - one of the greatest atrocities in human history - delving into the core of what it means to face the extinction of everything and everyone you hold dear.
This gripping, multifaceted tapestry is woven from Jewish folklore and cultural history. Five interlocking narratives explore one common story - the tradition of resistance and uplift. Neal Shusterman and Andrés Vera Martínez are internationally renowned creators who have collaborated on a masterwork that encourages the compassionate, bold reaching for a dream.
Cold Crematorium
A rediscovered classic of Holocaust literature translated for the first time - from journalist, poet and survivor József Debreczeni
When József Debreczeni arrived in Auschwitz in 1944, had he been selected to go 'left', his life expectancy would have been approximately forty-five minutes. One of the 'lucky' ones, he was sent to the 'right', which led to twelve horrifying months of incarceration and slave labour in a series of camps, ending in the 'Cold Crematorium' - the so-called hospital of the forced labour camp Dörnhau, where prisoners too weak to work were left to die.
Debreczeni beat the odds and survived. Very soon he committed his experiences to paper in Cold Crematorium, one of the harshest and powerful indictments of Nazism ever written. This haunting memoir, rendered in the precise and unsentimental prose of an accomplished journalist, compels the reader to imagine human beings in circumstances impossible to comprehend intellectually.
First published in Hungarian in 1950, it was never translated due to the rise of McCarthyism, Cold War hostilities and antisemitism. This important eyewitness account that was nearly lost to time will be available in fifteen languages, finally taking its rightful place among the great works of Holocaust literature more than seventy years after it was first published.

Židia v Topoľčanoch
V minulosti kolorit Topoľčian výrazne dotvárala početná, hospodársky a spoločensky významná židovská komunita. K obrazu Topoľčian zo začiatku 20. storočia patrilo námestie lemované židovskými obchodmi či pôsobivá stavba synagógy, ktorá patrila k najkrajším svojho druhu na Slovensku. Rozvoj topoľčianskej židovskej komunity násilne ukončili vojnové roky a holokaust. Čo je však zarážajúce, protižidovské nálady pretrvali v Topoľčanoch aj po skončení druhej svetovej vojny a vyústili do udalostí, ktoré sa do dejín zapísali pod označením židovský pogrom. Kniha približuje osudy židovských rodín Büchlerovcov, Friedovcov, Bachnárovcov, Braunovcov, Deutelbaumnovcov, Grünwaldovcov a ďalších, ktoré autorky spracovali na základe osobných stretnutí a rozhovorov s preživšími, ktorí boli obyvateľmi nášho mesta. Z Topoľčian pochádzal Walter Rosenberg, známy pod menom Rudolf Vrba, ktorý v roku 1944 s Alfrédom Wetzlerom utiekli z Osvienčimu. Významným spôsobom k histórii židovských náboženských obcí prispel Robert Jehošua Büchler, autor Encyklopédie židovských náboženských obcí na Slovensku.
The Daughter of Auschwitz
An incredible story of courage, resilience and survival.
'I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor's obligation to represent one and half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot speak. So I must speak on their behalf.'
Tova Friedman was one of the youngest people to emerge from Auschwitz. After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova was four when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, and almost six when she and her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck and sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau.
During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale.
As Nazi killing squads roamed Birkenau before abandoning the camp in January 1945, Tova and her mother hid among corpses. After being liberated by the Russians they made their way back to their hometown in Poland. Eventually Tova's father tracked them down and the family was reunited.
In The Daughter of Auschwitz, Tova immortalizes what she saw, to keep the story of the Holocaust alive, at a time when it's in danger of fading from memory. She has used those memories that have shaped her life to honour the victims. Written with award-winning former war reporter Malcolm Brabant, this is an extremely important book. Brabant's meticulous research has helped Tova recall her experiences in searing detail. Together they have painstakingly recreated Tova's extraordinary story about the world's worst ever crime.

Na lodi Pentcho za slobodou z Bratislavy do Palestíny
Kniha vtiahne čitateľov do fascinujúceho príbehu z obdobia druhej svetovej vojny. Opisuje putovanie parníka Pentcho, no najmä osudy ľudí, ktorí sa ocitli na jeho palube.

Na malom priestore v zlých podmienkach sa ocitli ľudia z rôznych sociálnych vrstiev, rôzneho veku a odlišnou motiváciou opustiť Európu. Cesta mala trvať niekoľko týždňov, no putovanie sa pre väčšinu stroskotancov skončilo až v roku 1944, keď ich previezli do Palestíny. Kniha spája príbehy ľudí do pestrej mozaiky doplnenej jedinečným obrazovým materiálom vrátane dobových fotografií či osobnej korešpondencie a zápiskov vysťahovalcov.

Born Survivors
The Sunday Times bestseller now updated with a new foreword
Among millions of Holocaust victims sent to Auschwitz II-Birkenau in 1944, Priska, Rachel, and Anka each passed through its infamous gates with a secret. Strangers to each other, they were newly pregnant, and facing an uncertain fate without their husbands. Alone, scared, and with so many loved ones already lost to the Nazis, these young women were privately determined to hold on to all they had left: their lives, and those of their unborn babies.
That the gas chambers ran out of Zyklon-B just after the babies were born, before they and their mothers could be exterminated, is just one of several miracles that allowed them all to survive and rebuild their lives after World War II. Born Survivors follows the mothers' incredible journey - first to Auschwitz, where they each came under the murderous scrutiny of Dr. Josef Mengele; then to a German slave labour camp where, half-starved and almost worked to death, they struggled to conceal their condition; and finally, as the Allies closed in, their hellish 17-day train journey with thousands of other prisoners to the Mauthausen death camp in Austria. Hundreds died along the way but the courage and kindness of strangers, including guards and civilians, helped save these women and their children.
Sixty-five years later, the three 'miracle babies' met for the first time at Mauthausen for the anniversary of the liberation that ultimately saved them. United by their remarkable experiences of survival against all odds, they now consider each other "siblings of the heart." In Born Survivors, Wendy Holden brings all three stories together for the first time to mark their seventieth birthdays and the seventieth anniversary of the ending of the war.
A heart-stopping account of how three mothers and their newborns fought to survive the Holocaust, Born Survivors is also a life-affirming celebration of our capacity to care and to love amid inconceivable cruelty.
