Shared Stories, Rival Tellings: Early Encounters of Jews, Christians, and Muslims

Shared Stories, Rival Tellings: Early Encounters of Jews, Christians, and Muslims by Robert C. Gregg
English | September 3rd, 2015 | ISBN: 0190231491 | 752 pages | EPUB | 31.49 MB

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are considered kindred religions-holding ancestral heritages and monotheistic belief in common-but there are definitive distinctions between these "Abrahamic" peoples. Shared Stories, Rival Tellings explores the early exchanges of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and argues that their interactions were dominated by debates over the meanings of certain stories sacred to all three communities.

Genius and Anxiety: How Jews Changed the World, 1847–1947, UK Edition

Genius and Anxiety: How Jews Changed the World, 1847–1947, UK Edition by Norman Lebrecht
English | October 10th, 2019 | ISBN: 1786076675 | 432 pages | EPUB | 3.41 MB

Marx, Freud, Proust, Einstein, Bernhardt and Kafka. Between the middle of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries a few dozen men and women changed the way we see the world. But many have vanished from our collective memory despite their enduring importance in our daily lives. Without Karl Landsteiner, for instance, there would be no blood transfusions or major surgery. Without Paul Ehrlich no chemotherapy. Without Siegfried Marcus no motor car. Without Rosalind Franklin genetic science would look very different. Without Fritz Haber there would not be enough food to sustain life on earth.

The Survival of the Jews in France: 1940-44

The Survival of the Jews in France: 1940-44 by Jacques Semelin
English | September 17th, 2019 | ISBN: 019093929X | 320 pages | EPUB | 2.95 MB

Between the French defeat in 1940 and liberation in 1944, the Nazis killed almost 80,000 of France's Jews, both French and foreign. Since that time, this tragedy has been well-documented. But there are other stories hidden within it-ones neglected by historians. In fact, 75% of France's Jews escaped the extermination, while 45% of the Jews of Belgium perished, and in the Netherlands only 20% survived. The Nazis were determined to destroy the Jews across Europe, and the Vichy regime collaborated in their deportation from France.
