Days of Rain
Enzo Tayar
In assn with The Holocaust Survivors’ Memoirs Proj
282 pp., soft cover, 15X23 cm.
Drawing on the diary that he kept for the pivotal year 1943, Enzo Tayar recounts the impact on his family and friends of the increasingly severe anti-Jewish measures instituted by Italy and of the German invasion of their former ally. For safety, Tayar fled his once tranquil Florence separately from his sister and parents, taking refuge on a succession of farms throughout Tuscany. They were not reunited until after the Allied conquest of Italy. After liberation, Tayar served as a U.S. Army interpreter, taking part in the interrogation of Fascists as a prelude to postwar prosecutions.

Europe's Crumbling Myths
by Manfred Gerstenfeld
248 pp., soft cover, 17X24 cm.
Europe's Crumbling Myths:
The Post-Holocaust Origins of Today's Anti-Semitism
In association with Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and World Jewish Congress 2003
The book explores how developments in post-Holocaust Europe have prefigured the adversities Israel and the Jews face there today.
It shows how new antisemitism is more a continuation and development than an innovation.
The legacy of rampant antisemitism and discrimination against the Jews laid the basis for today's resurgence of European anti-Semitism. Prof. Gerstenfeld analyzes Europe's moral attitude toward the Jews in the post-war period and defines six indicators for assessment.
In the second part of the book, 15 interviewees refer to major issues concerning the post-Holocaust period, providing perspectives on the above issues and others.
The press hailed this forthcoming book. As the author stated in an interview, “ I began to understand that all that talk about money is a sub-goal and not the main goal... I wondered what the other side had to gain, in this case the Dutch government. I understood that one of the goals was that the Netherlands' image not be damaged…”.
“Hard to imagine better timing for a book… The author is among the most well-known local researchers of antisemitism… the first person who tried to map the new methods of disseminating antisemtism in the postmodern era.”
[ Makor Rishon , December 5, 2003]

The Fire and the Light
Herman Kahan
Foreword by Elie Wiesel
238 pp., soft cover, 14X21 cm.
Chaim Hersh Kahan is from Elie Wiesel’s home town of Sighet, Transylvania. His happy pre-war childhood and yeshiva studies were followed by confinement in the ghetto, and transport to Auschwitz. He and his father survived selection by Mengele, followed by slave labor in Wolfsberg and Ebensee. Sustained by his father’s spiritual strength, Kahan survived and was liberated. The exceptional aspect of these memoirs is the author’s description of his emotions. Former refugee in Budapest, Paris and Oslo, the author is now a prominent member of the Jewish and business communities in Norway. The book is both a memorial for his family and a “thank you letter” to Norway and to decent human beings.
