Book Description
Sam Laskier was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1927 into a traditional Jewish family. He recounts the Germans entering Warsaw in September 1939 and the formation of the Warsaw ghetto, where Jewish people were forced to live in appalling conditions. Although Sam was smuggled out of Warsaw to Ostrowiec, he was eventually transported to Bozochoff labour camp and then to Blizyn where he worked in a quarry. He was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau in Spring 1944 and was finally liberated by the Russian Army on 8 May 1945. Sam was one of around 300 Jewish orphans who were brought to Windermere in England for rehabilitation. He later moved to Manchester and became an entrepreneur. He met and married his wife in 1956, and they had four children and five grandchildren. Sam’s book is part of the My Voice book collection, a stand-alone project of The Fed, the leading Jewish social care charity in Manchester, dedicated to preserving the life stories of Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazi persecution who settled in the UK. The oral history, which is recorded and transcribed, captures their entire lives from before, during and after the war years. The books are written in the words of the survivor so that future generations can always hear their voice. The My Voice book collection is a valuable resource for Holocaust awareness and education.

Pages : 168
Book Description
Ike Alterman was born in 1928 in Ozarów in Poland. In telling his story, he recounts his happy Orthodox Jewish upbringing, the tragic loss of his immediate family in Treblinka and Auschwitz, his ordeal through concentration camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau, surviving multiple death marches, and his liberation in Theresienstadt in 1945. Ike is one of ‘The Boys’, brought to Windermere in England, as part of a British governmental scheme granting asylum to Holocaust child survivors. Ike describes his rehabilitation, and new life in Manchester, where he started a family and established a jewellery business. Later in life, Ike pursued closure by revisiting his hometown in Poland and undertaking a difficult trip to Treblinka. He reflects on his life after immeasurable loss, and what it means to endure and bear witness.

The Berber Identity Movement and the Challenge to North African States
Author: Bruce Maddy-Weitzman
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292745052
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Like many indigenous groups that have endured centuries of subordination, the Berber/Amazigh peoples of North Africa are demanding linguistic and cultural recognition and the redressing of injustices. Indeed, the movement seeks nothing less than a refashioning of the identity of North African states, a rewriting of their history, and a fundamental change in the basis of collective life. In so doing, it poses a challenge to the existing political and sociocultural orders in Morocco and Algeria, while serving as an important counterpoint to the oppositionist Islamist current. This is the first book-length study to analyze the rise of the modern ethnocultural Berber/Amazigh movement in North Africa and the Berber diaspora. Bruce Maddy-Weitzman begins by tracing North African history from the perspective of its indigenous Berber inhabitants and their interactions with more powerful societies, from Hellenic and Roman times, through a millennium of Islam, to the era of Western colonialism. He then concentrates on the marginalization and eventual reemergence of the Berber question in independent Algeria and Morocco, against a background of the growing crisis of regime legitimacy in each country. His investigation illuminates many issues, including the fashioning of official national narratives and policies aimed at subordinating Berbers in an Arab nationalist and Islamic-centered universe; the emergence of a counter-movement promoting an expansive Berber "imagining" that emphasizes the rights of minority groups and indigenous peoples; and the international aspects of modern Berberism.
