Like New in Like New jacket. Size: 25 cm.; Dust jacket condition: Like New. Appears as new and unread. Translation of: Edelsh? ain neged ha-zeman. xiv, 476 p., [8] p. of plates: ill.; 25 cm. The history of the ghetto at Theresienstadt, an old garrison town near Prague where the Germans concentrated tens of thousands of Czechoslovakian Jews, is a strange and terrible part of the strangest and most terrible event of the twentieth century. For the Nazis, Theresienstadt fulfilled a double need: as a waiting room for Czech, German, and Hungarian Jews until the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau were ready for themâ? ? and as a â? ? model ghetto, ? ? a showplace for visiting delegations from the International Red Cross. For the Jews, Theresienstadt was a straw of hope to grasp at, a possibility, however faint, that in their â? ? self-governing, ? ? â? ? self-sufficient? ? little city, they could hold outâ? ? another week, another month, another yearâ? ? until Hitlerâ? ? s inevitable defeat must surely come. Almost none of them knew the real fate that awaited those who were periodically shipped â? ? East, ? ? not even thirty-eight-year-old Jakob Edelstein, a prewar Zionist leader whose position and mocking title as â? ? Elder of the Jews? ? of this unique community had been thrust upon him by the Germans. Herself a survivor of three years in Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen, Ruth Bondy has written a moving account that is as much a biography of Jakob Edelstein as it is a description of the hopes and sufferings of the Central European Jews. â? ? I would like to be able to say that Edelstein and the children died for something, for a Jewish state, for a better future. But in all honesty, I cannot do so. They died because they were not allowed to live. ? ? 476 pages.
