Sinossi

Lost Manuscripts explores how lost, destroyed, and rediscovered historical documents have profoundly shaped our understanding of world history. It examines the circumstances behind the disappearance and reappearance of significant manuscripts, revealing how these events can reshape historical narratives. The book highlights the inherent biases in historical records due to selective preservation and destruction, illustrating the fragility of historical memory. For example, the rediscovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has offered new perspectives on Judaism and early Christianity.

 
The book progresses by first outlining the reasons for manuscript disappearance, such as war and censorship. It then delves into case studies, including manuscripts whose destruction altered our understanding of events and the impact of rediscovered texts on rewriting accepted historical accounts. Furthermore, it analyzes manuscripts deliberately suppressed for political or religious reasons and their subsequent impact when revealed. This approach emphasizes the ongoing historical revision prompted by new evidence, making it valuable for anyone interested in History World and historical research.

    Early in the Prohibition era, Moe Sedway became part of the New York organized crime gang led by Meyer Lansky and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. A loyal and highly effective operative for Siegel, Sedway eventually gained monopoly control of the race wire service in Las Vegas and also became an effective casino manager of the Las Vegas Club, El Cortez, and the Rex Club. 
     
     
     
    A breach in their relationship led to rumors that Sedway had gained Lansky's approval for a "hit" on Siegel. The unsolved mystery of who murdered Bugsy in 1947 has spawned numerous theories about the identity of the hitman, but regardless of who pulled the trigger, Bugsy's death opened the way for Moe to flourish as his own man at last. Long overshadowed by Bugsy in the annals of organized crime in America, Moe Sedway is now at last brought out into the light in this riveting tale of the sensational life and times of one of Vegas's most mysterious and little-known figures.

    The Last Train

    ‘Haunting.’ Jonathan Freedland‘Powerful.’ Daniel Finkelstein 
    The profoundly moving and deeply intimate story of one Jewish family’s fate in the Holocaust, following the thread from Germany to Latvia and to Britain. 
    In November 1941, Peter Bradley's grandparents, Sally and Bertha Brandes, were deported from their home in Bamberg to their deaths in Latvia. 
    The Last Train is a profound and moving homage to Peter’s lost family and to his father who rarely spoke of the traumas through which he lived. 
    It is also his attempt to understand, through the prism of his family’s story, how the Nazis came to conceive and implement the Final Solution. 
    Why did Sally and Bertha’s fellow citizens put them on the train that carried them to the killing fields? 
    Why did the democracies which so loudly condemned Hitler’s persecution of the Jews deny them sanctuary? 
    And why, when Peter's father finally reached Britain after five terrible months in a Nazi concentration camp, was he arrested as an 'enemy alien'? 
    The quest for answers led Peter to explore the origins and evolution of an ancient hatred and the struggles against it of each generation of his family, from the Reformation, through the Enlightenment and the Age of Reform, to the catastrophe of the Holocaust. 
    This is the powerful, poignant story of Peter’s journey through family papers and archives, through works of scholarship and the testimony of survivors, and from Bavaria and Buchenwald to the mass graves of the Baltic. 
    And, reflecting on what he learned, he asks: in the events of our own times, we are all perpetrators or bystanders or resisters; which of those roles do we choose for ourselves? 
    This best and top biography and autobiography of the 20th century is a testament to survival in modern Europe. It is a chilling reminder of the past and a call to action for the future. 
    For fans of Gwen Strauss (The Nine), Tova Friedman (The Daughter of Auschwitz), Wendy Holden (Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day), Limor Regev (The Boy From Block 66), and Never Again Press (Beneath the Winds of War).
