Afterword by Vince Pankoke. Archives and Institutes. Glossary. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Rosemary Sullivan OC (born 1947) is a Canadian poet, biographer, and anthologist. She is also a professor emerita at University of Toronto. After she completed her Ph.D., Sullivan moved to France to teach at the University of Dijon, and then at the University of Bordeaux. Two years later she was hired at the University of Victoria, and then in 1977 at the University of Toronto, where she taught until her retirement. In 1978, she decided to dedicate herself to her writing, while still teaching. In 2022, Harper Collins released The Betrayal of Anne Frank: a Cold Case Investigation. Sullivan was enlisted to write the book by a research team investigating the betrayal of Anne Frank, detailing the investigation and their conclusion that Jewish notary Arnold van den Bergh was the most likely suspect. That conclusion was challenged by experts. The book was taken out of circulation in the Netherlands but remains available everywhere else. More

New York, N.Y. Picador USA, 1999. First Picador USA Edition [stated]. Hardcover. 222, [2] pages. Includes Foreword by Andrzej Szpilman; Chapters cover The Hour of the Children and the Mad; War; The First Germans; My Father Bows to the Germans; Are You Jews?; Dancing in Chlodna Street; A Fine Gesture by Mrs K; An Anthill Under Threat; The Umschlagplatz; A Chance of Life; 'Marksmen Arise!; Majorek; Trouble and Strife Next Door; Szalas' Betrayal; In a Burning Building; Death of a City; Life for Liquor; and Nocturne in C sharp minor. Postscript; Extracts from the Diary of Captain Wilm Hosenfeld; and Epilogue by Wolf Biermann: A Bridge Between Wladyslaw Szpilman and Wilm Hosenfeld, by Wolf Biermann. On September 23, 1939, Szpilman, a Warsaw pianist, played Chopin's Nocturne in C Sharp Minor live on the radio, while German shells exploded outside--so loudly that he couldn't hear his piano. It was the last live music broadcast from Warsaw. Later, a German bomb destroyed the power station, and Polish Radio went off the air. The war cast Warsaw into the horror of occupation, the ghetto, the rounding up of the Jews, the uprising and the evacuation of the city--events that killed most of Szpilman's friends and all of his family. But he survived among the ruins of his beloved city. Szpilman's life was saved by a German officer who heard him play the same Chopin nocturne on a piano found among the rubble. After the war, he never spoke of his wartime experiences. But in 1945, he wrote about them, more for himself than for others, to enable him to work through his trauma. The Pianist is a testimony to the power of music, the will to live, and the courage to stand against evil. More

Bloomington, IN: Authorhouse, 2007. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. [4], 277, [7] pages. Maps. Illustrations. Glossary. Foreword by Michael Berenbaum. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Comments on books by Herman Taube: "His vision roams over many continents, countless diverse subjects, and a variety of characters. Everywhere he finds a word, an expression, a sound, a thought, a proper noun and together they start singing and form a poem. These poems belong to the never-to be-forgotten witness literature of our time." - ELIE WIESEL "Some poets make of this world a tragedy. Others, like Herman Taube, do not. They look for every spark of light. It is not that he comes singing happy songs - there is a great deal of sadness in his poems. But there is a wonderful strength that rises out of the sadness. But that is not all of this work - for his is not only our poet of the Holocaust in the way that Elie Wiesel is; but he is the poet of the ordinary human being - you and me - who has been to hell, whose life has been irrevocably shaped by the Jewish experience of World War II, but who lives in the world of today, like to rest of us." - MERRILL LEFFLER "His collective works, which span decades, continents and cultures, constitute an eloquent and powerful chronicle of the Jewish experience in our time. It is a record at once intensely personal and universal. And it is, as is his life, a voluble and vibrant legacy, a model of the highest standard for Jewish artists of all ages." - MICHA LEV "Herman Taube has the unique ability to make inanimate objects come alive.
