This unique project explores one of the increasingly popular
policies for long-term care: the provision to care users of cash,
rather than services so that they can employ their own caring
labour directly. The authors are scholars from Austria, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the USA and the United Kingdom in
the fields of social policy and gerontology. The book includes
introductory and concluding chapters by the editors, which develop
new theories of care commodification and present a comparative
overview of these important policy trends.
In November 1938 about 30,000 German Jewish men had been taken to
concentration camps where they were subject to torture, starvation
and arbitrary death. This book tells the remarkable story of how
the grandees of Anglo Jewry persuaded the British Government to
allow them to establish a transit camp in Sandwich, in East Kent,
to which up to 4000 men could be brought while they waited for
permanent settlement overseas - known as the Kitchener camp. The
whole rescue was funded by the British Jewish community with help
from American Jewry. Most of the men left their families behind.
Would they get their families out in time? And how would the people
of Sandwich - a town the same size as the camp - react to so many
German speaking Jewish foreigners in their midst? There a well
organized branch of the British Union of Fascists in Sandwich.
Captain Robert Gordon Canning, a virulent anti-Semite, lived there.
He and his grand friends from London (including the Prince of Wales
before the abdication) used to meet there to play golf at Royal St
George's. (After the war, Canning purchased the bust of Hitler sold
at the auction of goods from the German embassy and kept it in his
house.) This background adds to the drama of the race against time
to save lives.
