New York, N.Y. Grove Press, 2003. First American Edition [stated], First printing [stated]. Hardcover. 308 pages. Includes 20 black and white illustrations. Foreword by Paul Spiegel. Afterword to the English-language edition. Bibliography. Appendix: the deportees. Marion Schreiber was born in 1942 in Drossen and was an editor at Der Spiegel for sixteen years. The spring of 1943 was a desperate season for the Jews of Brussels. The resistance movement had successfully bombed the SS headquarters that January, but anti-Jewish laws were tightening, and a camp had been set up in the nearby town of Mechelen to transport Belgian Jews to Auschwitz. One day in April, resistance fighter Youra Livchitz, a young doctor, discovered the departure date of the next transport train. With only one weekend in which to organize a raid, Youra recruited two school friends, Jean Franklemon and Robert Maistriau, to pull off one of the most daring rescues of the entire war. Equipped with only three pairs of pliers, a hurricane lamp covered in red paper, and a single pistol, the men ambushed the train, which was transporting 1,618 Jews to Auschwitz. These three men freed seventeen men and women before the German guards opened fire. Miraculously, by the time the convoy had reached the German border another 225 prisoners had managed to escape and found shelter. The three young rescuers were turned in by a double agent, imprisoned, and killed. Marion Schreiber's gripping book about the only Nazi death train in World War II to be ambushed draws on private documents, photographs, archive material, and police reports, as well as original research, including interviews with the surviving escapees.

The format is approximately 11 inches by 8.5 inches, folded in half, making for pages. Text is in English and Hebrew. Fourth (back) page has the music and Hebrew lyrics of Ani Maamin ("I Believe").

This Ritual was to be performed after the third of the four ceremonial cups, just before the door is opened for the symbolic entrance of the Prophet Elijah. All were to rise and the leader of the Seder would recite the text. Text is in Hebrew on the left side and on the right is the English rendition of the Hebrew. OCLC lists only a handful of copies of any edition, and only a handful with the musical score and lyrics. The Seder Ritual Committee was founded in 1952 by the American Jewish Congress, and lead by the historian Israel Goldberg (Rufus Learsi). The task of the committee was to compose a prayer memorializing the Holocaust. The Seder Ritual of Remembrance, the prayer they composed, was distributed to various Jewish organizations and synagogues. More

Hannah Szenes (often anglicized as Hannah Senesh or Chanah Senesh; July 17, 1921 – November 7, 1944) was a poet and Special Operations Executive (SOE) paratrooper. She was one of 37 Jewish parachutists of Mandate Palestine parachuted by the British Army into Yugoslavia during the Second World War to assist in the rescue of Hungarian Jews about to be deported to the German death camp at Auschwitz. Szenes was arrested at the Hungarian border, then imprisoned and tortured, but refused to reveal details of her mission. She was eventually tried and executed by firing squad. She is regarded as a national heroine in Israel, where her poetry is widely known and the headquarters of the Zionist youth movements Israel Hatzeira, a kibbutz and several streets are named after her.

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 2003. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxii, [2], 311, [1} pages. Includes Preface, Afterword, Illustrations, Notes, Bibliography, Glossary, Acknowledgments, and Index. Chapters cover Nichts Juden. Juden Kapputt; The Hospital and the Berlin Jews; The Beginning of the End, 1938-41; The Nazis' Intermarriage Quandary; The Deportations; The Assault on the Gemeinde and the Hospital, 1942,43; Making a Life for Oneself in the Hospital; The Factory Raid and the Frauenprotest; The Continued Assault on the Hospital; Prisoners and survivors; The Work of the Reichsvereinigung and the Hospital, 1942-45; The Twilight of the Nazis; and The Trial of Dr. Dr. Lustig and Other Questions. The author, a lawyer and former General Counsel at the CIA, provides a close-up look at the little-known story of Berlin's Jewish Hospital, the only Jewish institution in Germany to survive the Holocaust, drawing on the accounts of survivors to describe daily life in the hospital under the Nazis, the machinations of hospital director Dr. Lustig, the medical staff and patients, and the hospital's liberation by Soviet troops in 1945. When Nazism was finally destroyed and Berlin liberated in April 1945, the only surviving Jewish institution was a smallish hospital which also served as a prison and housed a Gestapo branch office. In an amazing feat of research, Daniel Silver has reconstructed this story of heroism and cowardice, of loyalty and betrayal, and retraced the fate of the individual survivors. More
