Three million Polish Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, wiping
out nearly 98 percent of the Jewish population who had lived and
thrived there for generations. Night Without End tells the stories
of their resistance, suffering, and death in unflinching, horrific
detail. Based on meticulous research from across Poland, it
concludes that those who were responsible for so many deaths
included a not insignificant number of Polish villagers and
townspeople who aided the Germans in locating and slaughtering
Jews. When these findings were first published in a Polish edition
in 2018, a storm of protest and lawsuits erupted from Holocaust
deniers and from people who claimed the research was falsified and
smeared the national character of the Polish people. Night Without
End, translated and published for the first time in English in
association with Yad Vashem, presents the critical facts,
significant findings, and the unmistakable evidence of Polish
collaboration in the genocide of Jews.

Today's highly fraught historical moment brings a resurgence of
antisemitism. Antisemitic incidents of all kinds are on the rise
across the world, including hate speech, the spread of neo-Nazi
graffiti and other forms of verbal and written threats, the
defacement of synagogues and Jewish cemeteries, and acts of
murderous terror. Contending with Antisemitism in a Rapidly
Changing Political Climate is an edited collection of 18 essays
that address antisemitism in its new and resurgent forms. Against a
backdrop of concerning political developments such as rising
nationalism and illiberalism on the right, new forms of intolerance
and anti-liberal movements on the left, and militant deeds and
demands by Islamic extremists, the contributors to this timely and
necessary volume seek to better understand and effectively contend
with today's antisemitism.

This volume contains the proceedings of the First International
Workshop on Algebraic and Logic Programming held in Gaussig (German
Democratic Republic) from November 14 to 18, 1988. The workshop was
devoted to Algebraic Programming, in the sense of programming by
algebraic specifications and rewrite rule systems, and Logic
Programming, in the sense of Horn clause specifications and
resolution systems. This includes combined algebraic/logic
programming systems, mutual relations and mutual implementation of
programming paradigms, completeness and efficiency considerations
in both fields, as well as related topics.
Judenjagd, hunt for the Jews, was the German term for the
organized searches for Jews who, having survived ghetto
liquidations and deportations to death camps in Poland in 1942,
attempted to hide "on the Aryan side." Jan Grabowski's penetrating
microhistory tells the story of the Judenjagd in Dabrowa Tarnowska,
a rural county in southeastern Poland, where the majority of the
Jews in hiding perished as a consequence of betrayal by their
Polish neighbors. Drawing on materials from Polish, Jewish, and
German sources created during and after the war, Grabowski
documents the involvement of the local Polish population in the
process of detecting and killing the Jews who sought their aid.
Through detailed reconstruction of events, this close-up account of
the fates of individual Jews casts a bright light on a little-known
aspect of the Holocaust in Poland.
