Tzvetan Todorov (1 March 1939 – 7 February 2017) was a Bulgarian-French historian, philosopher, structuralist literary critic, sociologist and essayist. He was the author of many books and essays, which have had a significant influence in anthropology, sociology, semiotics, literary theory, intellectual history and culture theory. Todorov's historical interests have focused on such crucial issues as the conquest of The Americas and the German Nazi concentration camps. Aside from his work in literary theory, Todorov has also published studies of philosophy. He wrote Frail Happiness about the writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He focuses on Rousseau's ideas of attaining human happiness and how we can live in 'modern' times. More

After his ordination as a rabbi, Marvin Tokayer served as United States Air Force Chaplain in Japan. Upon discharge he returned to Tokyo to serve for eight years as the rabbi for the Jewish Community of Japan. He wrote 20 books in Japanese, discovered literally the last of the Chinese Jews; located a long-lost Jewish cemetery in Nagasaki; contributed to the Encyclopedia Judaica; acted as a bridge for many travelers between East and West; served the needs of his congregation. His investigations took him throughout Asia, to Israel and Washington D.C. as he searched for documents and tracked down the people who had taken part in the rescue of Jews from the Holocaust. In 1979 Rabbi Marvin Tokayer and Mary Swartz authored a book called The Fugu Plan. They claim that the plan, which was viewed by its proponents as risky but potentially rewarding for Japan, was named after the Japanese word for puffer-fish, a delicacy which can be fatally poisonous if incorrectly prepared. Tokayer and Swartz base their claims on statements made by Captain Koreshige Inuzuka and allege that such a plan was first discussed in 1934 and then solidified in 1938, supported by notables such as Inuzuka, Ishiguro Shiro and Norihiro Yasue.

New York: Dial Books, 1993. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xiii, [1], 161, [1] pages. Frontis illustration. Illustrations (many in color). After hiding with her mother in the apartment of Polish Catholics during World War II, Dr. Toll went on to spend the rest of her life writing, teaching, and speaking about the Holocaust. Toll spent more than a year when she was a girl with her mother in the tiny space in Poland after they failed to escape the Nazi invasion. Her father, brother, and other relatives had disappeared — presumably murdered — and she spent her hours in hiding in 1943-44 by writing stories, and passages in her diary, and painting more than 65 watercolor pictures. Her paintings imagined what it would have been like to attend school, have playmates, and visit the countryside. As a child in Poland during the Second World War, the author began to keep notes from the day the Germans entered Lwo'w, her birthplace, in 1941. Two years later, when her mother and the author were hidden from the Nazis by a Christian couple who risked their lives to save theirs, she invented her own code that she called her "Esperanto," her universal language, and converted such dangerous words as "ghetto" and ''Jews" into it. She reasoned that, if the Gestapo ever found her writing, they would not realize that she was Jewish and thus would not destroy it. Nelly produced twenty nine paintings which tell the story of a lovable, imaginative child beset with terrifying uncertainties, and of the courageous mother who nurtured her daughter's unswerving belief in brighter days ahead.

Isaiah Trunk (1905–1981) was a chief archivist of the Yiddish Scientific Institute YIVO in New York from Warsaw, and the leading historian on the Holocaust. Trunk was an expert on Jewish history during the Nazi occupation of Poland. A scholar and author originally from Poland, he was the winner of a National Book Award in history for his monograph titled Judenrat: The Jewish Councils in Eastern Europe Under Nazi Occupation published in New York by Macmillan in 1972. During World War II, more than five million Jews lived under Nazi rule in Eastern Europe. In occupied Poland, the Baltic countries, Byelorussia, and Ukraine, they were stripped of property and "resettled" in ghettos. More
