The Nazis Knew My Name is one woman's story about the bravery and
kindness shown by her mother in the Holocaust concentration camps.
In the camps during the Second World War, prisoner Magda Hellinger
Blau was selected by the SS as a Jewish prison leader and she
eventually rises to the senior position of Lageralteste (Camp
Elder). Madga used her proximity to her fellow prisoners and the SS
to engage in numerous acts of kindness, bravery and compassion to
keep the prisoners alive in frightening and uncertain
circumstances. Now, her daughter Maya Lee tells the definitive
story of her mother, a woman who showed great bravery and
compassion when stuck between worlds of authority and imprisonment.
Using her mother's short memoir as a starting point, this book is
Maya Lee's deep-dive into her mother's life and the power of
kindness in the face of adversity, as she connects with fellow
Auschwitz survivors and forms new friendships throughout her
journey. The Nazis Knew My Name is a poignant and personal
exploration of the prisoners in the Holocaust camps and the need to
still tell these stories almost 70 years on.
From the local to the global, the governance of illegal drug use is
becoming increasingly fragmented. In some contexts, prohibitive
regimes are being transformed or replaced, while in others there
are renewed commitments to criminalized control. But what gives
rise to convergence and divergence in processes of policy making,
both across different countries as well as within them? Based upon
empirical qualitative research with 'elite' insiders, David
Brewster explores a diverse range of cannabis policy approaches
across the globe. His original analysis reveals the factors which
facilitate or hinder punitive or liberalising tendencies in
cannabis policy processes, concluding with future directions for
policy making and comparative criminology.
The emergence of India as a regional and potentially global
power is forcing us to rethink our mental map of the Asia Pacific.
We are only just beginning to discern how India may alter the
global economic landscape. How will the rise of India change the
strategic landscape of Asia and beyond?
This book provides a comprehensive assessment of India's
international relations in the Asia Pacific, a region which has not
traditionally been understood to include India. It examines India's
strategic thinking about the Asia Pacific, its relationships with
China and the United States, and India's increasingly close
security ties with other major countries in the region. It
considers the consequences of India's rise on the Asia Pacific
strategic order and asks whether India is likely to join the ranks
of the major powers of the Asia Pacific in coming years.
