Subject: [DHIG] New digital primary resource tool for college classroom
To: acrldigitalhumanitie...@lists.ala.org


The US Holocaust Memorial Museum announces a new digital primary resource
tool
for the college classroom, entitled Experiencing History: Jewish
Perspectives
on the Holocaust:

experiencinghistory.com

Experiencing History: Jewish Perspectives on the Holocaust, offers a unique
primary source study experience designed for the undergraduate college
classroom.  Meant for a variety of disciplinary and pedagogical approaches,
the tool presents original source material that is fully translated,
contextualized, and annotated.  The resource presents materials from the
victims’ perspective, which is often belied or ignored.  Explore a diary,
wartime letter, historical film footage, testimony, poetry, photography, and
many more. Please note that more content will be added to the site in  mid-
December, prior to the start of the new term.  Create an account, save
materials for your class to examine together, explore topics through tags,
or
explore thematic collections of sources.  Your students can create their own
accounts and join your class in order to see materials that you may have
saved.  They can also explore the tool independent of being a part of a
course.

Another useful source for OP books is Alibris, and they have a division
just for doing business with libraries:

They, too, offer periodic discounts!

[ha-Safran] new Turkish Judaica in English

2017-03-15 Thread RIFAT BALI 
Dear Safranim

Please note our new publication in English.

Ben Sperer, *Under Turkish Skies – A Family History 1876-1960,* Libra
Kitap, İstanbul, 2017, 127 p., ISBN: 978-605-9022-94-1

This is a review of Ben Sperer’s years in Turkey before he left the country
to take up residence in Canada. In an effort to place his own story in its
proper context, the author preceded it by a description of his parent’s
lives. It is an interesting story reflecting the memories of a colourful
life of an Ashkenazi Jew in a society rich in tradition and history going
back generations. It is against this background that the author describes
the ups and downs, the tragedies and successes, as well as the ordinary
day-to-day events of his life in Turkey.

Price: $ 35.- plus postage

Payment by credit card. If interested please contact us.

Sincerely,

---

PS:
besides Alibris, which is great for out-of-print books on all topics,
there is Schoen Books in Deerfield MA
Ken Schoen has a website now, schoenbooks.com, and a very impressive
collection of Judaica of all kinds and types.
