London: BBC Books, 1989. Third Printing. Hardcover. 22 cm. Approximately 150 pages Illustrations. Based on the BBC television series, this very funny book takes the form of René Artois' diary, recounting his exploits as a cafe owner and member of the resistance in occupied France during WWII. The television scripts were written by David Croft and Jeremy Lloyd. Gordon Fitzgerald Kaye (7 April 1941 – 23 January 2017), known professionally as Gorden Kaye, was an English actor and singer, best known for playing womanizing café owner René Artois in the television comedy series 'Allo 'Allo!. In 1982, David Croft sent Kaye the script for the pilot episode of 'Allo 'Allo! inviting him to play the central character of René Artois. He accepted and appeared in all 84 episodes (the main series ran from 1984, two years after the pilot, until 1992) and 1,200 performances of the stage version. Kaye was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1986 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews at the curtain call of the West End stage version of 'Allo 'Allo! at the Prince of Wales Theatre. Kaye returned as René Artois in a 2007 one-off television revival of 'Allo 'Allo! and in a stage show in Brisbane, Australia, at the Twelfth Night Theatre in June and July, alongside Sue Hodge as Mimi Labonq and Guy Siner as Lieutenant Gruber.

Born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, during World War II, Henry J. Jelinek, Jr. and his family escaped to Canada at the beginning of the Cold War. After graduating from high school in Ontario in 1963, he earned his business certification in Switzerland. He received the Bachelor of Arts in sociology from Marietta College in 1968 and a Master of Arts in social psychology from the New School for Social Research (New York City) in 1970. While a student at Marietta, Jelinek co-wrote "On Thin Ice." Published in 1965 by Prentice-Hall, Inc., the book chronicles the family's ordeals under Nazi occupation, subsequent Communist takeover, and their escape to the free world. President and CEO of Jelinek Cork Group, Jelinek expanded the family-owned business founded in Europe in 1855 to an international company supplying cork and related products to most parts of the world. After the fall of communism in 1989, Jelinek returned to the Czech Republic restarting the business while helping support young entrepreneurs, their families, and future generations in their transition to the free market system and aiding that country with its rebuilding efforts. Jelinek is also an outspoken advocate for social responsibility by business and business leaders. More
New York: Collier Books, 1973. Revised Edition. First Collier Books Edition [stated]. Presumed First Printing. Trade paperback. 410, [2] p. maps. 21 cm. Occasional footnotes. Index. Previous owner's mailing label on half-title page. Embossed stamp on title page. Format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8 inches. Translation of Megilat yisurin. Originally published as The Scroll of Agony, this is a classic depiction of the Holocaust. Carefully hidden and preserved in a kerosene can, twenty years after the annihilation of the Warsaw Ghetto, it was discovered. Now reissued with recently found entries spanning April 4, 1941 through May 2, 1942, and a new Preface by Abraham H. Katsh, it is an extraordinary first-person record of the Nazi occupation and destruction of Warsaw's Jewish community. From an on-line posting on Abraham I. Katsh: "Polish-born American educator and researcher who was a scholar of Judaica and was credited with the addition of modern Hebrew to the curricula of American colleges; during the Cold War he persuaded Soviet officials to allow him to study and microfilm--and thus make available to scholars--thousands of Jewish documents they had seized and hidden (b. Aug. 10, 1908, --d. July 21, 1998)." More

New York: Farrar , Straus and Giroux, 2018. First American Edition [stated]. Hardcover. [8], 454, [2] pages. Illustrations. Index. Serge Klarsfeld (born 17 September 1935) is a Romanian-born French activist and Nazi hunter known for documenting the Holocaust in order to establish the record and to enable the prosecution of war criminals. Since the 1960s, he has made notable efforts to commemorate the Jewish victims of German-occupied France and has been a supporter of Israel. . Beate Auguste Klarsfeld (née Künzel; born 13 February 1939) is a Franco-German journalist and Nazi hunter who, along with her French husband, Serge, became famous for their investigation and documentation of numerous Nazi war criminals, including Kurt Lischka, Alois Brunner, Klaus Barbie, Ernst Ehlers [de] and Kurt Aschen. On 4 July 1987, the SS war criminal Klaus Barbie (known as the butcher of Lyon) was convicted on her initiative. Barbie was found guilty of crimes against humanity and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Klarsfeld rated this success as the most important result of their actions. In 1972 she had helped to discover Barbie's whereabouts in Bolivia. It is thanks to their commitment that the Maison d’Izieu (Children of Izieu) memorial was founded, which commemorates the victims of the crimes committed by Barbie. In 1996, during the warfare in the former Yugoslavia, the Klarsfelds joined the outcry against Radovan Karadži and Ratko Mladi for alleged war crimes and genocide of Bosnian Muslims. More
