"Between 1941 and 1945, thousands of German Jews, in fear for their lives, made the choice to flee their impending deportations and live submerged in the shadows of the Nazi capital. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence and interviews with survivors, this book reconstructs the daily lives of Jews who stayed in Berlin during the war years. Contrary to the received wisdom that "hidden" Jews stayed in attics and cellars and had minimal contact with the outside world, the author reveals a cohort of remarkable individuals who were constantly on the move and actively fought to ensure their own survival."--

"The King family was a 20th century anomaly - a middle class black family living in rural Mississippi. Academic studies, mainstream writing, and anecdotes corroborate the same reality - that blacks living in the historic South experienced deleterious conditions due to racism, segregation, and de jure as well as de facto discrimination. Whether prior to or during Reconstruction or as a result of Jim Crow, they were subjected to profound and unrelenting economic, political, legal, and social oppression, often accompanied by the threat of violence, particularly lynching. How did black families navigate these systemic, oppressive conditions daily? What strategies did they use? And how could becoming middle class be possible? This book presents the lives and experiences of seven generations of a black family that originated in Mississippi. Limited mixed-methodological, multi- disciplinary research has been performed on this topic. This book is one response to this omission. We rely on sociology and ecology (or a socio-ecological lens) as well their own voices to examine how race, religion, education and their intersection as a familial ethos influenced economic and non-economic outcomes of the King family. Empirical reports document the context"--

Le Moyen Âge chrétien, ennemi de l'argent, n'a pas connu de pensée économique, car celle-ci ne pouvait émerger que dans le monde sécularisé que permit la Réforme. Et si cette conviction si largement diffusée était fausse? Et si les processus économiques avaient été au cœur de la pensée médiévale? Parcourant, à l'écoute des moines, évêques, frères mendiants et universitaires, les voies de la pensée européenne entre Antiquité et Époque moderne, Giacomo Todeschini fait émerger un monde intellectuel passionné par les problèmes spirituels, moraux et politiques que posent la circulation de la richesse, sa création, sa distribution, son usage, son contrôle. L'économie chrétienne qu'il fait apparaître, avec ses controverses et ses voies de consensus, engage la vie tout entière de la communauté des fidèles, et participe des dynamiques d'exclusion (des juifs, des hérétiques, des pauvres) qui donneront à la société européenne sa force propre, sa capacité à la solidarité et sa brutalité.Cet ouvrage révèle les liens étroits qui unirent, dans les sociétés médiévales, religion et économie, richesse matérielle et spiritualité. Ce faisant, il s'adresse à tous ceux qui veulent comprendre aujourd'hui pourquoi et comment est née une «science» économique.

Families join the debate over where to bury the war dead -- Families correspond with the Graves Registration Service -- Family members fight to be "next of kin" -- Families seek control over the bodies of the dead -- Searching for the missing, identifying the unknown -- Families decide where the American war dead will be buried -- Conclusion

This book is a unique compilation of essays about the genocidal persecution fuelling the Nazi regime in World War II. Written by world-renowned experts in the field, it confronts a vitally important and exceedingly difficult topic with sensitivity, courage, and wisdom, furthering our understanding of the Holocaust/Shoah psychoanalytically, historically, and through the arts. Authors from four continents offer their perspectives, clinical experiences, findings, and personal narratives on such subjects as resilience, remembrance, giving testimony, aging, and mourning. There is an emphasis on the intergenerational transmission of trauma of both the victims and the perpetrators, with chapters looking at the question of "evil", comparative studies, prevention, and the misuse of the Holocaust. Those chapters relating to therapy address the specific issues of the survivors, including the second and third generation, through psychoanalysis as well as other modalities, whilst the section on creativity and the arts looks at film, theater, poetry, opera, and writing. The aftermath of the Holocaust demanded that psychoanalysis re-examine the importance of psychic trauma; those who first studied this darkest chapter in human history successfully challenged the long-held assumption that psychical reality was essentially the only reality to be considered. As a result, contemporary thought about trauma, dissociation, self psychology, and relational psychology were greatly influenced by these pioneers, whose ideas have evolved since then. This long-awaited text is the definitive update and elaboration of their original contributions.
