        Diagnosis Digital Disaster

        Can the healthcare system still be saved?

        by Peter Schaar

        — Ways out of the digital disaster — For healthcare professionals and informed patients Modern information technologies can and should contribute to improving the quality and transparency of medical care and making healthcare more economical – and all for the benefit and well-being of patients. Well, that would be the noble approach. All the talk about health insurance cards, telematics infrastructure and electronic patient files stirs up emotions. Peter Schaar, long-standing Federal Data Protection Commissioner, brings light to the dark data and health thicket. Why are innovations in the healthcare sector met with great scepticism by many stakeholders? How can we speed up the development and implementation of meaningful ITsupported solutions? What role does the narrow, small-scale regulatory framework play – not only, but also in data protection?

        Root Feeders

        An Ecosystem Perspective

        by Edited by Scott N Johnson, Phillip J Murray.

        Interactions between plants and herbivores can have a significant effect on plant growth and development, and ultimately, on a plant's economic value. Research has traditionally focused on aboveground herbivores, despite the considerable role that belowground herbivory by both vertebrates and invertebrates can play within a range of ecosystem processes. Root feeders have been classified as agricultural pests but can also be used as biological control agents against invasive species and can affect community dynamics of plants, soil micro-organisms and populations of aboveground organisms. Bringing together a broad range of viewpoints and approaches, Root Feeders presents a comprehensive review of knowledge on root herbivores and illustrates their importance within ecosystems. Chapters discuss problems of visualizing the organisms in the soil, their role in agriculture, grassland and forest ecosystems, and present specific case studies on the management, control and influence of root feeders. Covering all aspects from food web ecology to the effects of climate change, this will be valuable reading for researchers and professionals in agricultural entomology, plant science, ecology and soil science.

        The holocaust

        Critical historical approaches

        by Donald Bloxham, Tony Kushner

        Despite the massive literature on the Holocaust, our understanding of it has traditionally been influenced by rather unsophisticated early perspectives and silences. This book summarises and criticises the existing scholarship on the subject and suggests new ways by which we can approach its study. It addresses the use of victim testimony and asks important questions: What function does recording the past serve for the victim? What do historians want from it? Are these two perspectives incompatible? The perpetrators of the Holocaust and the development of the murder process are closely examined. The book also compares the mentalities of the killers and the contexts of the killing with those in other acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the first half of the twentieth century, searching for an explanation within these comparisons. In addition, it looks at the bystanders to the Holocaust - considering the complexity and ambiguity at the heart of contemporary responses, especially within the western liberal democracies. Ultimately, this text highlights the essential need to place the Holocaust in the broadest possible context, emphasising the importance of producing high quality but sensitive scholarship in its study. ;

        Holocaust und Literatur

        by Sem Dresden, Andreas Ecke, Gregor Seferens

        "Der Autor zeigt in seinem Essay mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Dargestellten und sprachlichen oder formalen Merkmalen literarischer Texte über den Holocaust; auffällig oft entdeckt man einen Stil, der bei aller Beherrschtheit und scheinbaren Ruhe von irrsinnigen Empfindungen geprägt zu sein scheint und zerrüttet wirkt wie das Leben unter den Bedingungen des Holocaust. Der niederländische Literaturwissenschaftler Sem Dresden schildert die Bedingungen, unter denen in Ghettos und Lagern geschrieben wurde; er beschreibt die Wirkung dieser Zeugnisse und der späteren Literatur des Holocaust auf Leser, die Gefühle der Schuld und Scham, die auch die Überlebenden kennen, die Fragwürdigkeit des Erfolgs mancher Werke. In drei aufeinanderfolgenden Kapiteln legt Dresden dar, daß das Thema der Verfolgung und Vernichtung es unmöglich macht, herkömmliche Kriterien der Beurteilung von Literatur anzuwenden."

        Erinnerung im globalen Zeitalter: Der Holocaust

        by Daniel Levy, Natan Sznaider

        Die Globalisierung wird gegenwärtig für alles Übel oder für alles Gute verantwortlich gemacht. Eine ihrer Schattenseiten ist die weltweite Standardisierung von Lebensformen. Daniel Levy und Natan Sznaider vertreten jedoch die These, in einem besonderen Fall, der Erinnerung an den Holocaust, sei die globale Angleichung von Werten ein Fortschritt: Es bilde sich dadurch ein kosmopolitisches Gedächtnis heraus. Das Holocaust-Museum in New York, die Befreiung von Auschwitz als gesamteuropäischer Gedenktag, das Holocaust-Mahnmal in Berlin: Der »Holocaust« wird zu einem universalen moralischen Schlüsselwort, mit dem internationale politische Zusammenschlüsse, ja – wie im Kosovokrieg mit der Parole »Nie wieder Auschwitz« – militärische Interventionen gerechtfertigt werden. Die Erinnerung an den Holocaust wird also von ihren nationalen Ursachen gelöst und globalisiert. Das vorliegende Buch handelt von der Veränderung kollektiver Erinnerungen im Zeitalter der Globalisierung. Somit sprengt es den Rahmen, in welchem Debatten über den Holocaust und das kollektive Gedächtnis üblicherweise geführt werden. Durch eine vergleichende Analyse der Debatten in den USA, Israel und Deutschland zeigen die Autoren vielmehr die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen kosmopolitischer, vom öffentlichen Gedächtnis an den Holocaust getragener Erinnerungen auf. Und von diesen Möglichkeiten wird die Friedfertigkeit oder Kriegshäufigkeit des 21. Jahrhunderts abhängen.

        Out of the depths

        The first collection of Holocaust songs

        by Joseph Toltz, Anna Boucher

        Available for the first time in English translation, this collection of songs is a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. In June 1945, before the full devastation of the Holocaust had emerged, a team of researchers embarked on a remarkable project. While documenting the experiences of Jewish refugees, they began to collect songs composed and sung in the Nazi camps and ghettos. The resulting book, Mima'amakim (Out of the depths), was published in a short run of 500 copies. Today, only a handful survive. Out of the depths: The first collection of Holocaust songs presents the contents of this extraordinary document for a new generation of readers. Based on a copy of Mima'amakim discovered in 2013, it contains not only the songs' melodies and lyrics, the latter in a new translation by Joseph Toltz, but also short biographies of the composers, drawn from painstaking original research. Introductory essays provide historical and musicological background, deepening our knowledge of this terrible event and the creative means by which the Jewish people responded to and endured it. Described by the original editor, Yehuda Eismann, as a 'memorial stone for Polish Jewry', the songbook is a timeless document of a people's despair, hope and strength.

        Tracking the Jews

        Ecumenical Protestants, conversion, and the Holocaust

        by Carolyn Sanzenbacher

        This book sheds light on an unprecedented Protestant conversion initiative for the global evangelisation of Jews. Founded in 1929, the International Committee on the Christian Approach to the Jews (ICCAJ) aimed to bring Jewish people to their 'spiritual destiny', a task it saw as both benevolent and essential for a harmonious society. By the time of Hitler's rise to power it was active in thirty-two countries, educating Protestant churches on the right Christian attitude towards Jews and antisemitism. Reconstructing the activities of the ICCAJ in the years before, during and immediately after the Holocaust, Tracking the Jews reveals how ideas disseminated through the organisation's discourse - 'Jewish problem', 'Jewish influence', 'Judaising threat', 'eternal Jew' - were used to rationalise, justify, explain or advance a number of deeply troubling policies. They were, for vastly different reasons, consciously used elements of argumentation in both Protestant conversionary discourse and Nazi antisemitic ideology.

        Can’t Swap Jokes with the Angel of Death

        by Lili Rebecca Kahan

        with the Angel of Death is an amazing story of survival against all odds and a great achievement for the writer who was a teenager during World War 2, 1939–1945. This is the personal story of a family torn apart, always on the run from country to country, hiding, hoping not to be discovered and praying to survive.Lili Rebecca Kahan grew up trying to stay alive and helping others do the same. She survived dangers as a member of the underground in Budapest, often thanks to her knowledge of languages including German. There, under the Germans’ noses, she also helped other Jews by giving them new identities in order to escape death. Today, when survivors are leaving this world, she wants to honor the silent command of those who perished—remember and never forget.We, the last survivors, have a solemn obligation to testify, in the name of the dead and the living, that what we endured was a gruesome reality but also a permanent warning to mankind of horrors that might still lie ahead.Former president of France Nicolas Sarkozy so aptly put it when he said, “The tragedy of the Holocaust should be etched onto our consciousness as it is onto our hearts.”  An English-language eBook Edition was published in late 2016 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc.,CA. 148 Pages, 15X22.5 cm
