    Slomo Venezia was born into a poor Jewish-Italian community living in Thessaloniki, Greece. At first, the occupying Italians protected his family; but when the Germans invaded, the Venezias were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and sisters disappeared on arrival, and he learned, at first with disbelief, that they had almost certainly been gassed. Given the chance to earn a little extra bread, he agreed to become a 'Sonderkommando', without realizing what this entailed. He soon found himself a member of the 'special unit' responsible for removing the corpses from the gas chambers and burning their bodies. 
     
     
     
    Dispassionately, he details the grim round of daily tasks, evokes the terror inspired by the man in charge of the crematoria, 'Angel of Death' Otto Moll, and recounts the attempts made by some of the prisoners to escape, including the revolt of October 1944. 
     
     
     
    It is usual to imagine that none of those who went into the gas chambers at Auschwitz ever emerged to tell their tale—but, as a member of a 'Sonderkommando', Shlomo Venezia was given this horrific privilege. He knew that, having witnessed the unspeakable, he in turn would probably be eliminated by the SS in case he ever told his tale. He survived: this is his story.

    “We destroyed a whole enemy brigade (47 Brigade) on the Lomba. History will prove it to be one of the most glorious and successful actions that South African forces ever took part in.” – General Jannie Geldenhuys, as quoted in Cuito Cuanavale 
     
    On 3 October 1987 Charlie Squadron – the iron fist of 61 Mechanised Battalion Group – led the way in a decisive battle on the Lomba River in southern Angola, as part of the South African Defence Force’s Operation Moduler.  
    Although SADF tactical doctrine dictated that the tanks of the Angolan 47 Brigade be countered with tanks, the young conscripts of Charlie Squadron were forced to face their enemy in vastly inferior Ratels, significantly handicapped by the vehicles’ thin armour and low-velocity guns. Not only were they facing a force far superior in terms of weaponry, but they were also hugely outnumbered and had to deal with terrain so dense that their sight was severely impaired and their movement restricted. 
    Through interviews with veterans of the battle and diary entries from the time, Leopold Scholtz recreates the drama of this David vs Goliath battle, taking the reader straight to the heart of the action. A deeply human story, Ratels on the Lomba tells of how individuals react in the face of death, and reveals how the war never left these men, not even when they returned home.

    Urban sociology is the study of social life and human interaction in metropolitan environments. It is a field that explores the complex dynamics between individuals, communities, and institutions in urban settings. As cities continue to grow and transform, urban sociology provides invaluable insights into the structure and functioning of urban life, offering a lens through which we can understand how cities shape the behaviors, values, and relationships of their inhabitants. 
    The origins of urban sociology trace back to the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the 19th century. As people moved from rural areas to cities in search of better economic opportunities, new social challenges emerged, leading scholars to examine the effects of urban environments on social structures and individual behaviors. Urban sociologists have long been concerned with the ways in which cities influence issues like inequality, social mobility, family dynamics, crime, and community organization. 
    One of the central themes in urban sociology is the concept of social organization. Cities are intricate systems, with diverse populations, complex economies, and a wide range of institutions such as schools, businesses, governments, and religious organizations. Each of these institutions plays a vital role in shaping how people interact with one another and how they navigate their lives in an urban context. By studying these systems, urban sociologists seek to understand how cities function as both social entities and as arenas of competition, cooperation, and conflict.
