Truly the worst holocaust testimony ever written.So many mistakes throughout the whole text.Two examples of which were when Mr Muller mentions the camp orchestra in Birkenau,there was none, it was in Auschwitz 1.He also quotes that Kramer was in Birkenau and had came from Auschwitz 2.Both are one and the same place But important errors like these were repeated in every chapter and the worry for me is that Holocaust deniers may pick up on these simple blunders.Mr Mullers over use of adjectives and repetition of statements at times resulted in the book bordering on being boring.It read more like a students written essay who wasnt fully informed ,rather than an actual Holocaust survivors memoirs.Ive read many more imformative Holocaust testimonies ...

Here we see glimpses of Einstein the man, not the scientist. As science moved further away from the ideal that it was supposed to benefit mankind in a positive way, Einstein believed the mission of science was to work for mankind's well-being. He will be sadly missed, a great man that thought with his heart as well as his head.

Geza Vermes' book, The Complete Dead Sea Scrolls in English, is a worthy capstone to a long and distinguished scroll career. Vermes entire career, from his student days to this present work, has been concentrated largely on the Dead Sea Scrolls and related topics. His doctorate in 1953 was completed with a dissertation on the historical framework of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is difficult to find any scholar with as complete a knowledge of the scrolls as has Vermes; it is impossible to find one who knows them better.
This book was released in 1997, 50 years from the time the first Arab shepherd climbed into a cave in search of a wandering animal and instead fell upon the first of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Following the 'revolution' of 1991 (to use ... Read More:

I can only add to the praise from other reviewers. This book is such a fascinating read from an historical and sociological point of view that one almost forgets it is a cookery book. I have to say that I was not at all bothered by the lack of photographs - I like my books to be collections of recipes, not to be picture books for grown ups. This is a solid work of meticulous research which deserves a place in the study as much as the kitchen

In Journey by Moonlight, the Hungarian writer Antal Szerb has produced one of the most memorable novels I have read for some time. When I finished it, I turned back to think about what to write in this review and was immediately drawn back into whichever part of the story I landed in, beguiled by the quality of writing and the narrative pace. Ostensibly about the marriage between Mihály and Erzsi, it would be incorrect to describe this as merely a novel, for it is also a series of statements about existence, relationships and our place in the world.
Mihály and Erzsi are newlyweds and we join them on their honeymoon in Venice. We rapidly learn that Mihály is a vague, other-worldly man, who seems barely planted on the earth.

The author lays the book out in a good controlled format and easy to understand. Not all new theories but interesting and one leaves it without being swayed either way. I like one of the other reviewers, wonder how you pull of such a feat as making up a history for a race that clearly must of had one to start with. However saying that I left with a better insight into judaism and archaeology for that time.

I have read many of the very short introduction series and have found them thorough, interesting but not too heavy. This has proven the same with Solomon's book. As a intellectual blank on Judaism prior to reading this book it ahs proven an able step in developing a solid knowledge of the subject. Solomon is able to explain a lot about Judaism without going too far into scripture itself. This is undoubtedly a plus when reading it in a obstensibly secular vein such as myself. A very good read.

I bought this book to give me some ideas for the family brunch we were having after my son's bris. It has been so useful and such fun to read as well! My mother and I cooked the bagel chips and cinnamon cake for 32 delighted members of our family and friends. Yum, yum.
