The author tries to bring the decorative Art Deco details, rather than the buildings themselves, into focus in this wonderful work. All color photos are of Art Deco style renditions found in Los Angeles. A very important work preserving a style which held dominance for some time within the Los Angeles creative imagination. The Mission style also dominated but the landmark status usually found Art Deco to adorn the architecture. The Doheny mansion is the only well known building to be left out.
NO OF PAGES: 0 SUB CAT I: Holocaust SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Genocide tells the heart-wrenching, yet often heroic story of the millions of men, women and children who fell victim to Hitler's Final Solution. Narrated by Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Welles, this landmark film received the 1981 Academy Award for best feature documentary, the first Holocaust film to be given this honor. Using archival film footage and compelling still photography, the extraordinary documentary traces the evolution of the Holocaust in fascinating and horrifying detail and chronicles the scourge of anti-Semitism from Biblical times to the rise of Nazism. You'll see how the thriving Jewish culture in pre-war Europe fell victim to the systematic slaughter wrought by the Nazi juggernaut. But the heart of this brilliant film is Elizabeth Taylor's moving narrative of ordinary people caught up in the Nazi reign of terror. Their individual stories of suffering and heroism challenge the viewer - to see the victims as human beings, and to remember.NOTES: Purchased from the Amazon Marketplace.

NO OF PAGES: 0 SUB CAT I: Holocaust SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: This is the dramatic story of two very different battlefronts during WWII -- the allied campaign to liberate Europe, and Hitler's genocidal war against the Jews. Using archival footage, contemporary radio broadcasts and enthralling first-person accounts, Liberation recreates the heady atmosphere of Europe emerging from Nazi domination--in stark contrast to the horrific final days of the final solution. Liberation begins in 1942, when the struggling Allies began envisioning an invasion of Europe. The film reveals the strategies and deceptions on all sides, while vividly depicting the struggle on the battlefield, exploring those fateful years in panoramic detail. But most of all, this remarkable film documents the compelling stories of the Jews of Europe--their tragedy, courage, resistance and survival--stories you will never forget. Liberation is the very best in documentary filmmaking. Its powerful insights will resonate with you for years to come. But, most of all, this extraordinary film reminds us to bear witness to those who were lost.NOTES: Purchased from the Amazon Marketplace. SUBTITLE:… (altro)

This book is about the Jewish prohibition on graven images (the second commandment) and how gravestone craftsmen somehow didn't quite follow that commandment. The book goes on to describe and show color photographs of these "graven images" from gravestones, both Ashkenazic and Sephardic, in several European countries. Each symbol is explained with a biblical quote and then followed by a more detailed and specific explanation.
The most disturbing picture of the book was of a wall built by non-Jewish students from 15th- and 16th-century gravestones desecrated during World War II. It just served to remind me that gravestone desecration in Jewish cemeteries is not simply a happening of the distant past.… (altro)
