Engels  Paperback  9780753560815  25 januari 2024  400 pagina's Samenvatting 'Haunting and powerfully resonant... this is a story not just of remarkable individuals, but also a tribute to the wider indomitability of the human spirit at the darkest moment in European history' - Sinclair McKay, bestselling author of Berlin and DresdenZippi Spitzer and David Wisnia’s story began when they first locked eyes across the work floor. It was the start of a romance that could have unfolded anywhere if it weren’t for one key difference: Zippi and David were prisoners in history’s most infamous death camp.David and Zippi defied the odds by surviving for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz. Shielded by the protection of their fellow inmates, saved on occasion by their own ingenuity and twists of fate, their love affair reminded them that their old world still existed – a world of possibilities, of freedom and desire. As the war’s end drew near, little did they know just how far their lives would diverge, and how many years would pass before they would meet again.An unbelievable true story of romance, sacrifice, loss, and resilience, Lovers in Auschwitz chronicles the lives of two young people ensnared in the Nazis’ horrific creation, who discovered hope and humanity in history’s darkest hour.

Ondanks decennia van internationale diplomatieke inspanningen is een oplossing voor het Israëlisch-Palestijnse conflict nog steeds even ongrijpbaar als altijd, wat ons dwingt de vraag te stellen: hebben mondiale en regionale machten, in plaats van te helpen het conflict op te lossen, daadwerkelijk geleid tot het voortduren ervan? Dit boek onderzoekt deze vraag vanuit een post-eurocentrisch perspectief. Vertrekkend van de literatuur waarin de Verenigde Staten, Europa en Rusland worden gezien als externe diplomatieke actoren, en regionale machten zoals Egypte, Iran, Saoedi-Arabië en Turkije als onderdeel van het conflict, beschouwt Daniela Huber hen in plaats daarvan allemaal als actoren in het conflict. regionale/internationale dimensie van het conflict, die zij (re)produceren door middel van hun roluitvoeringen. Verankerd in gefundeerde theorie en kritische discoursanalyse, onderzoekt ze de scripts die zijn uitgevoerd door deze machten bij de Verenigde Naties en hoe de gezaghebbende internationale omkadering van het conflict is geëvolueerd in de VN-Veiligheidsraad en de Algemene Vergadering, waarbij ze perioden van continuïteit en breuken identificeert in deze scripts, evenals alternatieven daarvoor.
