Die Ostjuden haben nicht leicht den Weg nach Paris gefunden. Sie kamen viel leichter nach Brüssel und Amsterdam. Der direkte Weg des jüdischen Juwelenhandels führt nach Amsterdam. Einige arm gewordene und einige reich werdende jüdische Juwelenhändler bleiben aus Zwang im französischen Sprachgebiet.

В марте 1944 года Жинетт Колинка в возрасте 19 лет вместе со своим отцом, младшим братом и племянником была депортирована в лагерь смерти Освенцим-Биркенау. Спустя долгое время после окончания Второй мировой войны и несмотря на столь травмирующий, порой непостижимый обычному человеку опыт, Жинетт нашла в себе силы правдиво и без прикрас рассказать о том, что она видела и пережила. О нечеловеческих условиях, в которых ей приходилось существовать, голоде и жестокости.

Династия Сефевидов появилась еще задолго до своего восхождения, а ее истоки до сих пор вызывают споры. Однако, несмотря на свое загадочное происхождение, она превратила Иран в могущественное и многогранное государство, оставив неизгладимый след на этой земле.

За время их правления, страна достигла пика своего могущества и процветания, став центром искусства, литературы и архитектуры.

Обширный калейдоскоп парадоксальных явлений советской жизни от повседневности до высших эшелонов — в первой книге новой серии известного историка. Искренний порыв первого субботника был доведён до абсурда, когда по мемуарам в итоге оказалось, что знаменитое ленинское бревно на субботнике в Кремле вместе с вождём тащили 800 человек. Школы и институты в СССР вовсе не были бесплатными. От Олимпиады с трогательным Мишкой-талисманом советские руководители вообще хотели отказаться, но не успели.

In 1938, 29-year-old 'Nicky' cancelled a ski holiday and instead spent nine months masterminding a seemingly impossible plan to rescue hundreds of Jewish children and find them homes in the UK. Over 6,000 people are alive today because of his efforts. What motivated an ordinary man to do something so extraordinary? This book, written by his daughter, Barbara, explores the 106-year life of an incredible humanitarian, a man whose legacy only came to public light decades later.

Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his 20s, it documents his 'first contact with poverty'. Here, he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor - sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris's vile 'Hôtel X', surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain.

El Director es un retrato íntimo de las encrucijadas éticas, las relaciones personales, las amistades y deslealtades que se viven cuando se ocupa el despacho de uno de los grandes diarios del país. David Jiménez hizo carrera cubriendo guerras, desastres y revoluciones durante casi dos décadas antes de ser nombrado director de El Mundo. Lo que parecía un reto ilusionante - dirigir el diario en el que entró como becario a los 23 años.

Sobel instead exposes the real Coolidge, whose legacy as the most Jeffersonian of all twentieth-century presidents still reverberates today. Sobel delves into the record to show how Coolidge cut taxes four times, had a budget surplus every year in office, and cut the national debt by a third in a period of unprecedented economic growth.

For decades, people have tried to persuade the leader of the Cuban Revolution to tell his own life story. Ignacio Ramonet, the celebrated editor in chief of Le Monde diplomatique, has finally succeeded. For the first time, in a series of extensive and probing interviews, Fidel Castro describes his life from the 1950s to the present day.

Theodore Rex is the story—never fully told before—of Theodore Roosevelt’s two world-changing terms as President of the United States. A hundred years before the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, “TR” succeeded to power in the aftermath of an act of terrorism.

In the spring of 1933, more than 8,000 Jewish musicians, actors, and other artists were expelled from their positions with German orchestras, opera companies, and theater groups. Later that year, the Jüdische Kulturbund, or Jewish Culture Association, was created to allow Jewish artists to perform for Jewish audiences.

In the summer of 1940, after the Nazi occupation of Poland, an underground operative called Witold Pilecki accepted a mission to uncover the fate of thousands of people being interred at a new concentration camp on the border of the Reich. His mission was to report on Nazi crimes and raise a secret army to stage an uprising. The name of the detention centre - Auschwitz. It was only after arriving at the camp that he started to discover the Nazis' terrifying designs.

The definitive biography of Herbert Hoover, one of the most remarkable Americans of the 20th century - a revisionist account that will forever change the way Americans understand the man, his presidency, and his battle against the Great Depression. A poor orphan who built a fortune, a great humanitarian, a president elected in a landslide and then routed in the next election, arguably the father of both New Deal liberalism and modern conservatism - Herbert Hoover is also one of our least understood presidents.

Beneath the surface of the apparently untutored and deceptively frank Abraham Lincoln ran private tunnels of self-taught study, a restless philosophical curiosity, and a profound grasp of the fundamentals of democracy. Now, in Lincoln: A Very Short Introduction, the award-winning Lincoln authority Allen C. Guelzo offers a penetrating look into the mind of one of our greatest presidents.

Few figures in British history have been so deeply and so consequentially involved with the British royal family as Winston Spencer Churchill. While numerous men of stature have advised kings and queens during their reigns, Churchill is unique in his role: helping to shape not only a single reign but an entire royal dynasty. However, it was by no means a seamless relationship. At times, the royal family treated him with suspicion and contempt; at others, their relations were avuncular, competitive and cheering.

Prinzessin Alice erzählt vom bewegten und überraschenden Leben der hochadligen Alice von Battenberg, der Großmutter des britischen Königs Charles III. Ihre faszinierende Intelligenz – sie, die gehörlos geboren wurde, las in fünf verschiedenen Sprachen von den Lippen ab –, aber auch ihre überbordende erotische Lust in Verbindung mit ihrer nahezu fanatischen Beziehung zu Gott ließen Alice von Battenberg zur Bedrohung für all jene werden, die ein traditionelles Frauenbild in Königskreisen konservieren wollten.

Finding Hester explores the untold story of Hester Leggatt, a woman who helped trick the Nazis, and is a fascinating listen for fans of West End musical Operation Mincemeat and anyone with an interest in women’s war stories. Operation Mincemeat is one of the stranger tales to come out of the Second World War. A corpse dressed as a British pilot was dropped in the ocean near Spain, with the forged documents he carried landing in the hands of the Germans to convince them to move their troops to the advantage of the allied forces.

The Thinkers is a vibrant, funny, deeply human tribute to 30 of history’s greatest minds. From Tesla to Turing, from Marie Curie to Mozart, this is not a textbook. It’s a celebration.
