Anne Frank, it has been said, gave a face and a name to the horror of the Holocaust. This is her story. It relates how Anne, her family, and their friends hid in secret rooms - "the Annex" - in an Amsterdam warehouse for 25 months. Anne, just 13 when the family moved in and only 15 when the Gestapo at last broke down the doors of her secret world, found hope where there was only fear and the first blush of love when outside and all around there washed a sea of hate.

John Humphreys was just a boy soldier in the Royal Engineers when war was declared in 1939. By the war's end he had jumped into Arnhem with the Parachute Regiment to spearhead the attack on the bridge. For days Humphreys and the rest of his squad held on, outnumbered and outgunned by the German army fighting to the last bullet and refusing to surrender. But the Bridge Too Far is only the climax of Humphreys’ remarkable war. Twice captured as a prisoner of war, he twice escaped from the enemy to make his way back to Allied lines in order to rejoin the fight.

Based on a “that can’t actually be true” story. Dead Outlaw is the darkly hilarious and wildly inventive new musical about Elmer McCurdy, an early 20th-century outlaw who became a traveling corpse and accidental celebrity. After a botched train robbery and an untimely death, Elmer’s body embarks on a decades-long postmortem adventure—through carnivals, roadside attractions, wax museums, and even a Hollywood film set. Dead Outlaw dives into the absurdity of fame, the inevitability of failure, and the meaning—or utter meaninglessness—of legacy.

Mount Everest is known to everyone—but what of the person after whom it was named? This book traces the life and profession of that person, George Everest. In particular, it covers his life dedicated to surveying in India during the first half of the nineteenth century. George Everest went to India at the tender age of sixteen but within a few years was leading survey parties into the remotest areas of the subcontinent. His particular passion was geodesy—the determination of the size and shape of the earth—and he soon became Superintendent of the Great Trigonometrical Survey.

From the former Secretary General of NATO, a frank and riveting account of running the world’s most powerful military alliance, taking us inside the significant flashpoints of the last decade. With the reelection of Donald Trump, there is no reason to believe that the debate about the Americans’ relationship with NATO will subside. As Jens Stoltenberg demonstrates in On My Watch, his account of leading the military alliance across an explosive decade, NATO remains a powerful and essential agent of stability.

As much a sweeping story about lost worlds as it is a philosophical inquiry, Indignity shows what it is like to make choices against the tide of history. Through reports of communist spies, court depositions, anecdotes and characters that live on in Ypi’s memory, we move between “now” and ”then”, fact and fiction, what we learn from archives and what we can imagine, to reckon with the injustices of the past. By turns epic and intimate, profound and gripping, Indignity is a meditation on the fragility of truth, both personal and political.

"Mögen diese Blätter mithelfen, ein Stück Vergangenheit zu begreifen und dem Leben dienstbar zu machen, das täglich seine Forderungen an uns stellt." Hans Graf von Lehndorff.

As the brigade he commanded attacked a Confederate battery on a hill outside Petersburg in July 1864, a bursting shell blew Col. Joshua L. Chamberlain from the saddle and wounded his horse. After the enemy battery skedaddled, the brigade took the hill and dug in, and up came supporting Union guns. Chamberlain figured the day’s fighting ended. Then an unidentified senior officer ordered his brigade to charge and capture the heavily defended main Confederate line.

ביצוע מיוחד ע"י נכדתו של מחבר הספר, הדס קלדרון. קיץ 1944: לאחר שהטיסו השלטונות הסובייטיים, במבצע יוצא דופן, את המשורר אברהם סוצקבר ואת אשתו מן השטחים שבשליטת הנאצים אל החופש התמסר המשורר מיד למשימה לכתוב חיבור על השואה בווילנה עירו. זה היה בחודשים האחרונים של מלחמת העולם השנייה, וככל שהיא התקרבה לסיומה, כן הלכו והתבררו הממדים הבלתי נתפסים של רצח היהודים. זהו אחד החיבורים הראשונים המתעדים את זוועות הנאצים וגם את התנגדות היהודים על פניה השונות – המאמצים להבטיח את הקיום הפיזי בתנאים הקשים מנשוא של הגטו, הפעילות החינוכית והתרבותית, הקמת המחתרת היהודית.
