It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 11 working days Just a week after the Kristallnacht terror in , young Luzie Hatch, a German Jew, fled Berlin to resettle in New York. Her rescuer was an American-born cousin and industrialist, Arnold Hatch. Arnold spoke no German, so Luzie quickly became translator, intermediary, and advocate for family left behind. Soon an unending stream of desperate requests from German relatives made their way to Arnold's desk. Luzie Hatch had faithfully preserved her letters both to and from far-flung relatives during the World War II era as well as copies of letters written on their behalf. This extraordinary collection, now housed at the American Jewish Committee Archives, serves as the framework for "Exit Berlin." Charlotte R. Bonelli offers a vantage point rich with historical context, from biographical information about the correspondents to background on U.S. immigration laws, conditions at the Vichy internment camps, refuge in Shanghai, and many other topics, thus transforming the letters into a riveting narrative. Arnold's letters reveal an unfamiliar side of Holocaust history. His are the responses of an "average" American Jew, struggling to keep his own business afloat while also assisting dozens of relatives trapped abroad--most of whom he had never met and whose deathly situation he could not fully comprehend. This book contributes importantly to historical understanding while also uncovering the dramatic story of one besieged family confronting unimaginable evil. Features Summary The agonizing correspondence between Jewish family members ensnared in the Nazi grip and their American relatives Author Charlotte R Bonelli (Author), Natascha Bodemann (Translator), Deborah E Lipstadt (Foreword by) Publisher Yale University Press Release date Pages 320 ISBN ISBN

Condition: Good. Name of previous owner inside. This classic collection of Nelson Mandela’s articles, speeches, letters from underground and the transcripts from his trials was first published in . Overnight, No Easy Walk to Freedom became an indispensable guide to the political thought of a man who was to become one of the twentieth century’s greatest statesmen. Twenty years into South Africa’s democracy Mandela’s voice is greatly missed. No Easy Walk to Freedom is not only a vital historical document but also offers us the opportunity to re-engage with Mandela’s thinking on issues such as nationalisation, the independence of the judiciary, land redistribution, the need for a strong constitution and the role of the strike in political discourse. There are many books about Mandela, but No Easy Walk to Freedom shows us the man in his own words before he became the global icon. This collection showcases Mandela’s opening gambit as a politician of global significance and as such it deserves to be read to understand just what it was that drove and inspired the young freedom fighter. In this account, readers will encounter a more militant Mandela than they may remember, but a Mandela no less sure-footed in his arguments or in any way less politically astute. Part of Mandela’s genius was to find a way to listen to the views of all sides before constructing a solution that was the best possible outcome for society as a whole – rather than privileging one group over another. This pragmatic approach is now missing in the modern South African political arena, which makes it particularly refreshing to read the thoughts of a man whose pragmatism brought about one of the most miraculous political transformations the world has ever seen. No one who wants to understand the political thinking that made Mandela one of the most important statesmen of our time should be without a copy.
