Troubled Memory, Second Edition

Resumen del Libro

Libro Troubled Memory, Second Edition

This powerful book tells the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka by posing as Aryans. The family eventually made their way to New Orleans, where they became part of a vibrant Jewish community. Lawrence Powell traces their dramatic odyssey and explores the events that eventually triggered Anne Skorecki Levy's brave decision to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the recurring specter of racist hatred.

El veneno de Dios

Libro El veneno de Dios

El Tribunal de la Inquisición tenía entre sus competencias la de juzgar los casos de “solicitación en confesión”. La singularidad del delito así denominado venía dada por la cualidad del sujeto solicitante, un confesor, y por el momento en que requería o ejecutaba sus propósitos deshonestos con sus penitentes, el acto sacramental de la Penitencia, pero también por la naturaleza de las acciones a las que se atribuía la condición delictiva y, sobre todo, por las particularidades del proceso, llevado con especial discreción y sigilo por tratarse de un delito vergonzante cuya...

Libro Muret 1213

El jueves 12 de septiembre de 1213, las tropas catalanas, aragonesas y occitanas del rey de Aragón Pedro el Católico se encontraban frente al castillo de Muret, no lejos de Toulouse. Allí estaban los caballeros franceses del conde Simon de Montfort, líder de la cruzada predicada por el papa Inocencio III en 1208 contra los cátaros del sur de Francia. Las circunstancias militares anunciaban una fácil victoria del rey Pedro y la consolidación de una gran monarquía feudal hispano-occitana a caballo de los Pirineos.
