At the eve of the Second World War, an estimated 1.6 million Jewish children lived in Nazi-occupied Europe. While 10,000 of them escaped to Britain in the Kindertransport, only some 500 found a new home in France. Here they attempted to begin again—but their refuge would all too soon become a trap. For the first time, Laura Hobson Faure brings to life the experiences of these children, and the Jewish and non-Jewish organizations who helped them. Drawing on survivors' testimonies as well as children's diaries, letters, drawings, songs, and poems, Who Will Rescue Us? recreates their journeys.

It is a common assumption that in Israel, Jews have sovereignty, and in most other places where Jews live today, they have religious freedom instead. As Simon Rabinovitch shows in this original work, the situation is much more complicated. Jews today possess different kinds of legal rights in states around the world; some stem from religious freedom protections, and others evolved from a longer history of Jewish autonomy.

But it also reveals a man of contradictions whose checkered approach to Jewish issues was no less conflicted than the nation he led.

Why does Israel exist? Why is it worthy of remaining a critical ally of the United States? Why have critical race theorists identified Israel and the US as the most pernicious examples of "settler colonialism"? Answers to these questions were developing during the first term of President Trump. But they were abandoned by the Biden-Harris Administration, imperiling Israel and the United States. In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates shows how the conflict in Israel is not a regional issue to be resolved through an interminable diplomatic peace process.
