Art from the Ashes: A Holocaust Anthology - Lawrence Langer's exceptional collection of Holocaust literature includes both fiction and nonfiction, as well as drama and poetry. Twenty works of art created in the Terezin concentration camp are reproduced here.

Reclaimed: Paintings from the Collection of Jacques Goudstikker - Goudstikker became one of the most successful art dealers and tastemakers in Amsterdam between the Wars. Tragically, Goudstikker died in flight from the Nazis in 1940, and his enormous collection of art, including more than 1,200 Old Master and nineteenth-century paintings, was confiscated by Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring.

Painted in Words: A Memoir - Samuel Bak sets aside his brushes to narrate the stories of his life--as a child in Nazi- occupied Vilna, as a youth in European refugee camps, and as a maturing artist in Israel, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States.
