In th summer of 1945 Britain declared itself willing to take in 1,000 young survivor of the Holocaust, but no more than 732 could be found.Their early childhoods weres pent in the towns and villages of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, but from the ages of ten to sixteen they were forced into ghettos, concentration camps and death marches, often witnessing the deaths of parents and siblings. Liberation was followed by the difficult rebuilding of their lives in Britain, yet the drew on the strength of their together the recollections of this remarkable group of survivors.

Martin Gilbert';s Letters to Auntie Fori is a proud, 140-part epistolary history of the Jews as well as a parsing of the basic tenets of the faith and the meaning and form of its holy days and ritual observances. Beginning with the first chapter of Genesis, Gilbert follows his people through five millennia, concluding with the founding of Israel and, briefly, the political and religious Middle-Eastern turmoil of the present day. Especially interesting are his chapters on the Diaspora, as well as brief summaries of Jewish heroes in World War I, the dark horrors of World War II, and short recitals of Jewish luminaries in industry, politics, sports, and the arts and sciences. Though Gilbert is hardly a disinterested narrator, his erudite informality (the recipient of his letter-chapters is a well-educated and elderly friend effectively innocent of any knowledge of Judaism) serves his complex subject admirably. --H. O';Billovitch

Continue to Pester, Nag and Bite is a brilliant, close-up look at Winston Churchill';s leadership during the Second World War. Gilbert gets to the crux of eternal questions that have plagued the world';s most powerful leaders, even up to the recently battlescarred politicians such as George Bush and Tony Blair. How does a war leader pace and pattern his day? How does he draw help and inspiration from those around him? How does he assess the information that is brought to him? How does his personal or political philosophy, or moral sense, sustain him? How does he deal with setbacks and disasters? What part do the secret worlds of Intelligence and Deception play in his decisions? How much of what he has to do must be kept secret? By looking behind the public figure and wartime propaganda images, Gilbert reveals a very human, sensitive, and often tormented man, who nevertheless found the strength to lead his nation forward from the darkest and most dangerous of times, towards the defeat of a tenacious enemy.

Kristallnacht - a noite de cristal - marcou o começo da erradicação sistemática de um povo que havia chegado à Alemanha na época dos romanos e foi um prenúncio sinistro do Holocausto que se seguiria. Neste livro, Martin Gilbert mostra que a Kristallnacht foi mais do que a destruição de sinagogas, mas sim um divisor de águas, que marcou o momento em que a Alemanha renegou os padrões europeus de comportamento moral aceitáveis.
