A collection of films featuring the Irish actor Liam Neeson. In 'Rob Roy' (1995), the Scottish hero Rob Roy (Neeson) borrows money from the powerful Marquess of Montrose (John Hurt) in order to provide for his MacGregor clan. However, Montrose's evil henchman Cunningham (Tim Roth) has other ideas and is determined to stop Roy getting his way. In 'Kingdom of Heaven' (2005), Orlando Bloom plays a humble blacksmith who discovers that he is the son of a knight, and travels to the Holy Land to fight in the crusades. In the thriller 'Taken' (2008), Neeson stars as Bryan, a former CIA secret agent living in the US who is obliged to resurrect the skills he learned in his old job after his estranged 17-year-old daughter Kim (Maggie Grace) is kidnapped by sex slave traffickers while travelling with a friend in Europe. Finally, in 'The A-Team' (2010), four Iraq war veterans, led by Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith (Neeson), are on the run from the US military who suspect them of committing a crime and set about trying to clear their names. Becoming mercenaries and employing a wide range of uniquely offensive skills mixed in with a healthy dose of eccentric behaviour, Smith and his cohorts, 'Faceman' Peck (Bradley Cooper), 'Howling Mad' Murdock (Sharlto Copley) and 'B.A.' Baracus (Quinton Jackson), set out to right the wrong done to them by any means necessary - and some that aren't - all the while pursued by military tracker Charisa Sosa (Jessica Biel).

Jessica Lange plays a defence lawyer trying to block the extradition of her father (Armin Muller-Stahl), a Hungarian steelworker who is accused of having been a sadistic Nazi torturer during World War II. As the trial proceeds and her strategic defence begins to take shape, Jessica Lange must confront the possibility that her father is not who he says he is.

This collection of new essays examines third-generation Holocaust narratives and the inter-generational transmission of trauma and memory. This collection demonstrates the ways in which memory of the Holocaust has been passed along inter-generationally from survivors to the second-generation-the children of survivors-to a contemporary generation of grandchildren of survivors-those writers who have come of literary age at a time that will mark the end of direct survivor testimony. This collection, in drawing upon a variety of approaches and perspectives, suggests the rich and fluid range of expression through which stories of the Holocaust are transmitted to and by the third generation, who have taken on the task of bearing witness to the enormity of the Holocaust and the ways in which this pronounced event has shaped the lives of the descendants of those who experienced the trauma first-hand. The essays collected-essays written by renowned scholars in Holocaust literature, philosophy, history, and religion as well as by third-generation writers-show that Holocaust literary representation has continued to flourish well into the twenty-first century, gaining increased momentum as a third generation of writers has added to the growing corpus of Holocaust literature. Here we find a literature that laments unrecoverable loss for a generation removed spatially and temporally from the extended trauma of the Holocaust. The third-generation writers, in writing against a contemporary landscape of post-apocalyptic apprehension and anxiety, capture and penetrate the growing sense of loss and the fear of the failure of memory. Their novels, short stories, and memoirs carry the Holocaust into the twenty-first century and suggest the future of Holocaust writing for extended generations.

This practical guide provides the reader with a comprehensive overview and detailed insight into the essential requirements and tasks of a Feelgood Manager. Feelgood Management is a new management concept that expresses the trend towards employee orientation. After customer orientation, employee orientation is considered a central future competence factor in corporate competition, especially in view of the increasing competition on the labor market (shortage of skilled workers, war for talents). The book is aimed at existing and future Feelgood Managers, who on the one hand want to get clarity and understanding about the position and tasks and on the other hand want to deepen or broaden their knowledge in key areas of responsibility. Beyond that, however, this book is useful not only for Feelgood Managers, but for anyone who manages employees. The recognition and consideration of employee needs is a task of personnel management, which is often neglected through no fault of the operational business. The reader is provided with key insights and simple ways to take advantage of Feelgood Management. The book on Feelgood Management provides an introductory overview of the topic. Many practical tips help with the implementation in one's own business. In particular, the following contents are covered: * Introduction to Feelgood Management * Tasks and requirements of the Feelgood Manager at a glance * Further development of the corporate culture Improvement of internal communication Support of the personnel management Self-management of the Feelgood Manager and support of company health management This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

There are thousands of books that represent the Holocaust, but can, and should, the act of reading these works convey the events of genocide to those who did not experience it? In Textual Silence, literary scholar Jessica Lang asserts that language itself is a barrier between the author and the reader in Holocaust texts-and that this barrier is not a lack of substance, but a defining characteristic of the genre. Holocaust texts, which encompass works as diverse as memoirs, novels, poems, and diaries, are traditionally characterized by silences the authors place throughout the text, both deliberately and unconsciously. While a reader may have the desire and will to comprehend the Holocaust, the presence of "textual silence" is a force that removes the experience of genocide from the reader's analysis and imaginative recourse. Lang defines silences as omissions that take many forms, including the use of italics and quotation marks, ellipses and blank pages in poetry, and the presence of unreliable narrators in fiction. While this limits the reader's ability to read in any conventional sense, these silences are not flaws. They are instead a critical presence that forces readers to acknowledge how words and meaning can diverge in the face of events as unimaginable as those of the Holocaust.
