With spare prose and in stark images, Joseph Freeman recounts
his suffering during the Holocaust from the German invasion of
Poland to the liberation of Europe by the Allies. Freeman's
narrative includes sober accounts of Nazi atrocities, aching
portraits of the noble spirits and unsung heroes who were counted
among the walking dead of the concentration camps, and the
profoundly moving story of the unexpected reunion of Freeman and
the American G.I. who had lifted Freeman's dying body from the mire
of a battlefield 40 years earlier.
Both poignant and exquisite in its simplicity, Joseph Freeman's
autobiography is at once a shibboleth for those who also endured
the unspeakable and a haunting warning for those of us living in
these latter days, when the voices of deniers and revisionists of
the Holocaust wait to take the place of the aging witnesses who
grow weary of their vigil.
Through his writing and his appearances nationwide, Joseph Freeman
has shared his story of survival during the Holocaust. Here in
Kingdom of Night, Joseph Freeman tells the story of his wife
Helen's survival in labor and concentration camps in Nazi-occupied
Poland during WWII. As Michael Berenbaum writes in the book's
Foreword, "Surely we who read her story must be grateful for all
that she shared and grateful again to her husband Joseph...who
brings Chaiale's [Helen's] story to the printed page where it will
long endure. By telling the "before" and "during," she has enriched
the "after" and deepened the meaning of survival." Kingdom of Night
is a touching memoir of innocence lost, the enduring power of
faith, and a call to a new generation to bear witness to the
atrocities of the past so that they may be empowered to respond to
injustice.
Repair and regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues is generating
substantial interest within the biomedical community. Consequently,
these are the most researched tissues from the regeneration point
of view. Regenerative Engineering of Musculoskeletal Tissues and

recent developments related to the repair and regeneration of
musculoskeletal tissues and interfaces. This comprehensive review
looks at individual tissues as well as tissue interfaces. Early
chapters cover various fundamentals of biomaterials and scaffolds,
types of cells, growth factors, and mechanical forces, moving on to
discuss tissue-engineering strategies for bone, tendon, ligament,
cartilage, meniscus, and muscle, as well as progress and advances
in tissue vascularization and nerve innervation of the individual
tissues. Final chapters present information on musculoskeletal
tissue interfaces.
