Children of the Holocaust: Conversations with Sons and Daughters of Survivors

Children of the Holocaust — the first book of Epstein’s non-fiction trilogy about the after-effects of genocide — was the first to examine the inter-generational transmission of trauma. In a starred review Publishers Weekly wrote: “Charts new and sensitive territory as it provides important insights into the long-term effects of the Holocaust on those who survived and the ways their trauma shaped the lives of the next generation. Epstein’s courageous, dogged probing of the past is beautifully written, but it is the discoveries she makes and the process of uncovering them that informs her words, that makes the soundings so deep, so human, so haunting.” Originally published in 1979, it has never gone out of print and has been widely translated and anthologized. This edition includes a new preface written in 2020 and an updated bibliography. The sequels to Children of the Holocaust are Where She Came From, a family and social history of Central European Jews, and The Long Half-Lives of Love and Trauma. A “Best Book of the Year.” — New York Times “An enormous achievement, heart-wrenching and unforgettable.” — Chicago Tribune “A passionate, brilliantly illuminating work.” — Los Angeles Sunday Times

Magical Treasure Hunting in Europe and North America

In this, the≤first comprehensive history of magical treasure hunting, Johannes Dillinger, a leading expert on the history of folk belief, brings together a huge variety of British, European and American source materials. They range from medieval epics and the records of early modern witch trials to legends from the Wild West, SS files and outř websites. The study reconstructs a magical universe of treasure-guarding angels, fairies and ghosts, of wizards who were willing to face demons in order to get rich quickly, of resourceful tricksters exploiting creed and stupidity, and of ever watchful but often credulous and profit-seeking authorities. Looking over a long time-period, from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, Dillinger not only reveals a rich and enduring magical culture but also the influence of new concepts of history and of the past. Combining history and anthropology, the study suggests an encompassing interpretation of treasure hunting that embeds the magic of the treasure in the changes of economic culture. ≤
