| Title: A Voice from The Lost Town of Trochenbrod |
| Sub-title: A Translation of Poems, Essays and Letters by Yisrael Beider |
| Translated by: Gabriel Laufer |
| ISBN13: 9798887196619 |
| The destruction of Trochenbrod, the only exclusively Jewish town outside of Israel, is a mostly overlooked Holocaust tragedy. This book pulls together a collection of extraordinary poems, essays, and letters by Yisrael Beider, a son of Trochenbrod and a descendant of generations of rabbis tracing back to the MAHARAL. Beider perished in the Holocaust, but these writings survived to become rare documents to emerge from Trochenbrod. Although Beider published portions of his work in prominent Hebrew and Yiddish papers, most of his work remains unknown. This translation assembled the entire surviving collection to shed light on Beiderâ s literary and historical work, and to provide an eyewitness account of life in Trochenbrod and western Ukraine between the two world wars. |

| Title: An Improbable Life |
| Sub-title: My Father's Escape from Soviet Russia |
| By (author): Dr. Karine Rashkovsky |
| ISBN13: 9798887195131 |
| Just how improbable can one man's survival story be? From evading the KGB and disassembling a downed American plane to narrowly escaping a life sentence in Siberia, Reuven Rashkovskyâ s story is a gripping tale of coming of age, searching for belonging, and daring to escape the tightly controlled Soviet regime. Relayed in his point of view by his daughter, Dr. Karine Rashkovsky, An Improbable Life tells the story of a man who has been at the center of some of the most dramatic and tumultuous events in modern history, from World War II to the Six-Day War to the collapse of the USSR, providing insight into the world of Soviet Jewry and the almost insurmountable obstacles to getting out. Filled with quirky, revealing anecdotes, An Improbable Life is a valuable historical resource for anyone intrigued by culture and identity in the Soviet Union from the last days of Stalin to the Brezhnev era and the paradox and perils of being outcastâ and possibly heroicâ in that time and place. With the return of a totalitarian, imperialist Russia, Rashkovskyâ s story is all too relevant to todayâ s struggles. Here is an improbable true story of what can indeed, be possible. |

| Title: Anatomy of a Friendship |
| Sub-title: A Dual Memoir of Women's Journeys through War to Peace |
| By (author): Cecile Spiegel, Diane Tuckman |
| ISBN10-13: 1644698358 : 9781644698358 |
| Diane Tuckman and Cecile Spiegel fled religious persecution with WWII conflicts at their heels. Separately, from Egypt and from Germany, each leaped continents, cultures, and languages as a refugee before finding a new home in the United States. Hiding in plain sight in France, Cecile eluded capture by the Nazis, but lost many dear to her. Diane came of age there, far from the Mediterranean idyll of her childhood in Egypt. They relied on family, faith, and resilience to overcome the otherness felt by displaced peoples. As they dictated their memoirs to one another, Diane and Cecile discovered the anatomy of their friendship in their parallel odysseys and the optimism of 20th-century American womanhood. |

| Title: Anton Chekhov. Earliest Stories |
| Sub-title: Stories, Novellas, Humoresques, 1880–1882 |
| Edited by: Rosamund Bartlett, Elena Michajlowska By (author): Anton Chekhov |
| ISBN13: 9798887198095 |
| This volume presents the first comprehensive annotated edition of Chekhov's earliest stories in English. Translated as part of a unique project involving 85 volunteers from 9 countries, the 58 stories were all written between 1880 and 1882, when Chekhov was in his early twenties, and still at medical school. They make up volume 1 of the 10 volumes of short stories in the authoritative thirty-volume Academy of Sciences edition of Chekhovâ s Complete Collected Works, and have been arranged in chronological order. Ranging from comic tales, hilarious skits, literary parodies, outrageous pot-boilers and poignant novellas, the stories are all aimed at a wide audience, and offer a revealing window into the unknown early chapter of Chekhov's life and literary career. |
