Eyewitness Auschwitz: three years in the gas chambers
by Filip Müller Susanne FlatauerFilip Müller came to Auschwitz with one of the earliest transports from Slovakia in April 1942 and began working in the gassing installations and crematoria in May. He was still alive when the gassings ceased in November 1944. He saw multitudes come and disappear; by sheer luck he survived. Müller is neither a historian nor a psychologist; he is a source-one of the few prisoners who saw the Jewish people die and lived to tell about it. Eyewitness Auschwitz is thus one of the key documents of the Holocaust. "A shattering, centrally important testimony."-From the Foreword by Yehuda Bauer "Riveting...It is a tale of unprecedented, incomparable horror. Profoundly, intensely painful; but it is essential reading."-JewishPress Features

Who Wrote The Bible
by Richard Elliott Friedman"Richard Elliott Friedman focuses on the central books of the Old Testament--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy--and makes a persuasive argument for the identities of their four different authors. Drawing upon the most recent archeological discoveries, Friedman presents a vivid picture of the world of the Bible as he examines where and when these writers lived, the politics and history embedded in their stories, and their relationship to the events they describe and to one another. Challenging many conventional theories of biblical scholarship, he also sheds light on the marvel of the Bible's synthesis, on how the various documents were brought together to form a single text. Who Wrote the Bible? enriches our understanding of the Bible as literature, as history, and as sacred text, and is indispensable for anyone who loves and reads the Good Book."
