Paperback. Condition: New. Too often, the study of Israel/Palestine has focused on elite actors and major events. "Struggle and Survival in Palestine/Israel" takes advantage of new sources about everyday life and the texture of changes on the ground to put more than two dozen human faces on the past and present of the region. With contributions from a leading cast of scholars across disciplines, the stories here are drawn from a variety of sources, from stories passed down through generations to family archives, interviews, and published memoirs. As these personal narratives are transformed into social biographies, they explore how the protagonists were embedded in but also empowered by their social and historical contexts. This wide-ranging and accessible volume brings a human dimension to a conflict-ridden history, emphasizing human agency, introducing marginal voices alongside more well-known ones, defying "typical" definitions of Israelis and Palestinians, and, ultimately, redefining how we understand both "struggle" and "survival" in a troubled region.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. xi, [1], 209, [3] pages. Some soiling and small chips to dust jacket. Frontis illustrations. Footnotes. Includes two page map of the Warsaw Ghetto; Translator's Acknowledgments; and Preface. Documents, Postscript. Sources. Bibliography. Index. Part 1 contains The History of the Uprising. Except for isolated sabotage, individual acts of resistance, and the Jewish underground-initiaed assassination attempt on Josep Szerinski, Ghetto police commandant, by Israel Kanal, there was no mass resistance during the period of deportation. activists' two-year dream of armed uprising was destined to be fulfilled only after the Jewish population had been reduced to a tenth its original size, and as the remnant stood facing its own grave. At the beginning of 1943, the Ghetto was no longer a unit. Part 2 contains Documents of the Uprising, including the first appeal of the Anti-Fascist Bloc, Jewish Resistance Action Prior to the First Liquidation, Secret Conference on Recruiting Partisans in the Ghetto, and Notification to London re Danger of Liquidating the Warsaw Ghetto. In 1946, the eminent historian Ber Mark, a founder of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, began his research for this comprehensive history of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. He interviewed many of the Jews who had hidden in the ruins of the ghetto until 1944, and pored over the hastily written notes of the fighters themselves, in order to compile the most detailed, exhaustive account of that last stand that we have to date. Professor Ber Mark was noted Jewish historian and director of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw. Born in Lomzha, Poland, he was working in the pre-war years on the editorial staff of Der Moment, large Jewish daily which appeared in Warsaw. He became known after World War II for his books on the revolt against the German occupation army in the Warsaw Ghetto and other works dealing with life of the Jews under the Nazis in Poland. He is also the author of a two-volume History of the Jews in Poland. He visited Israel where he lectured at the Hebrew University. Some of his works have been translated into English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese. Derived from a Kirkus review: A noted Polish historian and founder of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, Mark develops an analysis of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising that supersedes run-of-the-mill notions of spontaneous rebellion or mystical Jewish spirit. This was a working-class resistance. The call to fight came from the Anti-Fascist Bloc, a united front of Jewish groups formed by the Communist remnants who hadn't been killed off by the Stalin-supported fascist Pilsudski. The will to fight came from Jewish workers and revolutionaries: Mark names the martyred leaders with passion while he ignores the thousands who went to die obediently and also declines to discuss the Jewish deputies of the Gestapo, or the sadistic ghetto police, except when they were executed by the fighters. Mark points out that the uprising began when only a tenth of the ghetto population remained--a result of the Nazi decision to retain some skilled slave laborers to operate the brush factory, the arms plant, and other works. Only after the deportation of 300,000 in the summer of 1942 were the leftists able to break the arguments of other Jewish leaders that the Nazis must not be affronted by resistance. Mark knew the terrain well and shows how the defenders organized. Appeals to the London Poles in exile went unheeded, and other pleas to the world produced only a Soviet bombing raid on German positions. The documentary appendix shows the desperate effort to join with anti-Nazi forces outside the ghetto. The evidence is among the most extensive ever compiled. Mark's passion and research forbids any romanticism: these were real leaders--they knew they would not survive, they did what had to be done. First Schocken Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus.
