A Man of Courage in an Inhuman Time
Berthold Beitz in the Third Reich
Bernd Schmalhausen
2006
In July 1941, a young German man, Berthold Beitz, only twenty-seven
years old, came to the city of Borysław in eastern Galicia to take up the
position of business manager in an oil refinery. There Beitz witnessed
at close-hand the ongoing destruction of the Jews. Unhesitatingly,
he opposed the program of extermination and succeeded – often,
literally, at the last minute – in rescuing several hundred Jews from
the death trains bound for the Bełżec extermination camp. He did this
by requesting from the SS that the Jews be handed over to him as
(supposedly) indispensable skilled workers; thus, he saved the lives of
many Jews by issuing false work certificates. At the greatest personal
risk, Berthold Beitz and his wife, Else, provided the Jews secretly with
food and hid others in their own home. In 1973, in recognition of his
humane and courageous stance on behalf of the persecuted, Berthold
Beitz was honored as a Righteous Among the Nations at Yad Vashem.

Emanuel Ringelblum 5
The Man and the Historian
Edited by Israel Gutman
2006
English and Hebrew sections
Marking 62 years since the renowned historian Emanuel Ringelblum
was murdered by the Germans, this publication comprises articles
presented at the International Conference held at Yad Vashem in March
2004, which focused on Ringelblum’s life and activities. The articles
deal with the private man as well as the public one, the intellectual
and the universal humanist, incorporating his worldview, writings, social
activities and the momentous venture he founded in the Warsaw ghetto
– the “Oneg Shabbat” Archive.
At the same time, we are publishing the last letters written by Emanuel
Ringelblum and his wife Yehudit in their hiding place in the Aryan sector
of Warsaw to their friends Adolf and Batya Berman. The letters depict
life in the bunker and reflect Ringelblum’s attempts at self-help as well
as his unremitting historical work. The letter written on 1 March 1944,
a few days before his hiding place was discovered, constitutes a last
testament by Emanuel Ringelblum.
“The importance of Ringelblum’s diary and writings – so important
that his words should be studied in Israeli schools – lies in his complex
vision of those terribles days which tested Jews and Poles under the
Nazi occupation.” [Miri Paz, Makor Rishon, 21 April 2006]

Preludiu la asasinat
Pogromul de la Iasi, 29 iunie 1941
Jean Ancel
In association with Editura Polirom
2005
The Jassy pogroms are a little known but shocking chapter in the annals
of human suffering. The riots and murder carried out by the Romanians
became a symbol of masses of humans turning into beasts, of the
overthrowing of all human norms, of the embodiment of evil. This is
the first study of the incidents based on rich documentation that has
been unknown to now, and which enabled Jean Ancel to reconstruct
the events as the Jews witnessed them.
“The study is based on a vast amount of documentary material
concealed for about fifty years. The author delineates the historical
background, describes the Romanian regime’s systems and their
ties to the central government in Bucharest and to the German units
stationed in the area. He surveys the directives sent out by the central
government to those who carried out the pogroms as well as the course
of the pogrom itself.” [Adi Portugues, Zion, 4, 5764/2004]
“Ancel – considered the greatest scholar of the Holocaust in Romania
– sets out the details of the murderous pogroms, based on testimonies
that were re-checked and on archival documents, most of which were
only discovered in 1996… We must congratulate Dr. Ancel and Yad
Vashem Publishing on this extremely important study, and we may
assume that this study will be a bottomless source – now and over
the coming generations – for researchers of the Holocaust in Romania
and the history of antisemitism in the country.” [Yosef Govrin, Gesher,

This fundamental collection of research studies digs deeply into that
sensitive issue and sheds new light on the realities of codebreaking
and understanding of what was happening in Nazi-occupied Europe
during the Second World War.
Most chapters are the product of research conducted by scholars
from a variety of countries and institutions using intelligence records
declassified by the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act in the United
States and by the British government.
Edited and with a preface by David Bankier and an introductory essay
by Gerhard L. Weinberg and the following group of international
scholars of the Second World War and the Holocaust: David Alvarez,
Shlomo Aronson, Peter R. Black, Richard Breitman, Hilary Earl, Tuvia

Entre la aceptaciо́n y el

América Latina y los refugiados
judı́os del nazismo
Edited by Avraham Milgram
2003
This collection of articles in Spanish analyzes
the immigration policies of the Latin
American governments regarding Jewish
refugees from Nazism from 1933-1942.
Almost as many Jews were admitted to Latin
American countries as to the USA – yet most
people are unaware of this fact.
Ten fascinating essays reveal the wide range
of ideological, political and legal factors
that determined the level of tolerance (or
intolerance) for the absorption of Jewish
refugees within a complex cluster of
paradoxical situations.
Includes bibliography, photographs, index.
“Entre la aceptación y el rechazo makes
a valuable contribution to a heretofore
sparse literature by foregrounding restrictive
immigration policies onto larger international
and domestic canvases. In each case we
come away with a much better understanding
of how and why Latin American states
responded the way they did to those Jews
desperate to find sanctuary from the Third
Reich.” [Allen Wells, The Americas, 61:2,

Europe’s Crumbling
Myths
The Post-Holocaust Origins of
Today’s Anti-Semitism
Manfred Gerstenfeld
In association with Jerusalem Center
for Public Affairs and World Jewish
Congress
2003
The book explores how developments in
post-Holocaust Europe have prefigured the
adversities Israel and the Jews face there
today. It shows how new antisemitism is
more a continuation and development
than an innovation. The legacy of rampant
antisemitism and discrimination against the
Jews laid the basis for today’s resurgence of
European antisemitism. Prof. Gerstenfeld
analyzes Europe’s moral attitude toward the
Jews in the post-war period and defines six
indicators for assessment.
In the second part of the book, 15 interviewees
refer to major issues concerning the post-
Holocaust period, providing perspectives on
the above issues and others.
“Europe’s Crumbling Myths is a timely and
valuable contribution to our understanding
of the anti-Semitism of the Third Millennium,
a development of concern to all men and
women of goodwill.” [Joel S. Fishman, Jewish

that there was no system for automatic
return of assets, and that the reconstruction
policies, which included a covering-up of the

The Jews Are Coming Back
The Return of the Jews to Their
Countries of Origin After WWII
Edited by David Bankier
In association with Berghahn Books
2005
As the war ended, masses of Jewish survivors
of the Holocaust were traveling the roads of
a decimated Europe. They had been hiding or
imprisoned in concentration camps and were
now free to return to their countries of origin,
but they did not know what awaited them.
Not only were their families and communities
destroyed, but they were now forced to live
together with the European perpetrators and
bystanders.
The articles in this volume offer new
perspectives on the experiences of Holocaust
survivors returning to their countries of origin
after World War II. These contributions are
essential to our understanding of the manner
in which returning Jews were received by
governments, aid organizations, and societies
in general. They show that surviving Jews
returning from the camps or emerging from
hiding were met with distrust. After the war
the survivors were once again faced with the
“Jewish problem”.
“This volume is aimed at an academic
audience and will be an essential read for
scholars of the Holocaust.” [Mary McCune,

The Encyclopedia
of the Righteous Among
the Nations
The concept of “Righteous Among the Nations” is based
on the Talmudic saying, “He who saves one human
being is as if he saves an entire world”.
Over the past five decades, some 20,000 Righteous
Among the Nations have been recognized by Yad
Vashem. They came from all nationalities, religious
denominations, and social groups. Each has a deeply
human story that represents the preservation of human
values in the midst of absolute moral collapse. These
ordinary individuals have become cultural heroes, and
symbols of courage. They are a source of hope, a role
model and an inspiration.
The Encyclopedia of the Righteous Among the Nations
series contains the personal stories of each of the
rescuers. It presents an authentic record of some of the
most moving and heroic acts of our time, and a fitting
tribute to the men and women who performed them.
“In the darkness of the Nazi occupation, a few lights
flickered: the Righteous Among the Nations… Yad
Vashem has commemorated those who risked their
lives, who heeded nothing but their hearts and their
human conscience, and who rescued Jews.” [Jacques
Chirac, President of France]

The Jews of Bohemia and
Moravia
Facing the Holocaust
Livia Rothkirchen
In association with University of
Nebraska Press
2005
This book, by one of the world’s leading
authorities on the history of Czech and
Slovak Jewry during the Nazi period, is the
first to thoroughly document this singular
relationship and to trace its impact, both
practical and profound, on the fate of the
Jews of Bohemia and Moravia during the
Holocaust.
Livia Rothkirchen provides a detailed and
comprehensive history of how Nazi rule in
the Czech lands was shaped as much by
local culture and circumstances as by military
policy. The extraordinary nature of the Czech
Jews’ experience emerges clearly in chapters
on the role of the Jewish minority in Czech
life, the crises of the Munich Agreement
and the German occupation, the reaction
of the local population to the persecution of
the Jews, the policies of the London-based
government in exile, the question of Jewish
resistance, and the special case of the
Terezin (Theresienstadt) ghetto.
This book is based on a wealth of primary
documents, many uncovered only after the
1989 November Revolution.

The Origins
of the Final Solution
The Evolution of Nazi Jewish Policy,
September 1939-March 1942
Christopher R. Browning
In association with University of
Nebraska Press
2004
In 1939, the Nazi regime’s plans for redrawing
the demographic map of Eastern Europe
entailed the expulsion of millions of Jews.
By the fall of 1941, these plans had shifted
from expulsion to systematic and total mass
murder of all Jews within the Nazi grasp.
This book is the most detailed and
comprehensive analysis ever written of what
took place during this crucial period – of how,
precisely, the Nazis’ racial policies evolved
from persecution and “ethnic cleansing”
to the Final Solution of the Holocaust.
Thoroughly researched and lucidly written, this
groundbreaking work provides an essential
chapter in the history of the Holocaust.

The Righteous
Arieh L. Bauminger
1969, third edition
Arieh Bauminger retells the stories of people
who risked their lives to save Jews and were
named Righteous Among the Nations by
Israel in recognition of their selfless deeds
during wartime. Illustrated with photographs
and backed up by first-person testimonies,
the author presents unsung heroes’ tales
from all over Europe.
“It restores one’s faith in Man to learn that
the vast and vicious apparatus of slaughter,
the ruthless hounding down of victims in
their last hiding-places, in no wise deterred
gallant souls, in this country and that, from
striking out selflessly along the perilous path
of Jewish salvation. These saviors were men
and women impelled by the Bible’s behest,
‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’.” [From the
Foreword by Abba Eban]
