Brigade, Theby Howard Blum Read by Simon Cohen (1 Cd) A true account of the little known 'Jewish Brigade Group', seen through the eyes of the 5,000 Jewish volunteers sent from Palestine to Europe by the British to fight the Germans. Among them was Israel Carmi, a veteran of the Haganah, Johanan Peltz originally from Poland who wants to be a British officer and Arie Pinchuk who is determined to rescue the little sister he left behind in Europe. In this book you will experience their battles and after the war the stories of how the soldiers witness first hand the horrors of the concentration camps. How they formed secrets squads to identify, locate and kill Nazi officers in hiding, and how they rescued Jewish war orphans and transported them to Palestine to help create a nation. A fascinating account of how the Jews fought the Nazis and won.
by Liel Leibovitz Read by Anita Boston More than just an account of Leonard Cohen’s life, A Broken Hallelujah is an intimate look at the artist that is as emotionally astute as it is philosophically observant. Delving into the sources and meaning of Cohen’s work, Liel Leibovitz beautifully illuminates what Cohen is telling us and why we listen so intensely. No. 1805 Brothers In Armsby Peter Duffy Read by Ita Rubin (1 Cd) Three brothers living near the edge of a forest witness the coming of an invading army. They arm themselves, take to their horses and seek refuge in the woods that they know so well. The enemy arrives and systematically starts killing the long-oppressed minority to which the brothers belong. Horrified and angered, they lead guerrilla attacks against the enemy's installations and exact vicious revenge on local collaborators. Prompted by the eldest, who is selected as commander, the brothers and a growing number of warriors begin a campaign to save all their people, including the weak, the young, the old, the sick. Slowly the group evolves into a makeshift forest city with a hospital, workshop, a school and even a bathhouse. When the invading army retreats, the brothers emerge from the woods, the saviours of 1,250 people.
Read by Ita Rubin (1 Cd) Susi Bradfield arrived in England, with a cardboard sign around her neck and a bare handful of English words. A mere child , a waif of the war, yet Susi had already seen so much of life. When she was five, she waved goodbye to the Hindenburg airship on its last fateful voyage. At 7 she was the only little Jewish girl in Hitler's big parade. A year later she withstood a harrowing interrogation by the SS in her bedroom. Only a few months before she fled Germany, she had seen her 13 year old brother shoot an SS officer. Susi tells her story with great humour and clarity.
Read by Derina Dinkin (1 Cd) This books explores the reasons why a peace agreement has not been reached between the Israelis and the Palestinians, mainly due at times,to the refusal of Arafat to discuss anything. It shows the vitriol conveyed by many academics (both Jewish and non- Jewish) towards Israel and the fight to thwart such anti-Semitism. No. 1337

Between Oxford Street and Euston Road, bordered by Portland Place, Gower Street and Tottenham Court Road lies a mysteriously evocative area known as Fitzrovia. This area over the centuries has been the home of criminals and writers, poets and painters, actors and artisans, spivs and spies, princes, prostitutes and medical professionals mingled with intellectuals and inventors. Fitzrovia has been a creative hub full of studios, new styles of café and restaurants. This book shows that if the streets of London are not paved with gold, they resound to something infinitely more valuable, the stories of the men and women who over the last four hundred years have made this bohemian corner of London what it is today. A fascinating story.
Read by Derek Pugh (1 Cd) When in 1835 Lionel de Rothschild of London first met his cousin Charlotte Rothschild in Frankfurt, she was just sixteen years of age. An arranged marriage followed, joining two branches of Europe's most powerful banking firms. It seemed an unlikely love match at first yet it lasted over 40 years through tragedies and triumphs. Charlotte became one of the grand hostesses of the Victorian era and Lionel became England's leading financier and the first Jew to win a seat in Parliament. No. 1351 Cherries In The Iceboxby Haya Hoffman Marion Baraitser and Read by Gill Bennun (1 Cd) A unique collection of twelve of the best, daring young multicultural voices. It is a very accessible way of telling the Holocaust story to today's teenagers. It focuses on young people doing what they always do whatever the circumstances e.g. flirting, bending the rules and helping each other out. These stories encapsulate with wry wit and hope, the diverse mosaic of a modern society that is uncomfortable with itself, as it comes to terms with violence and dislocation. The contributors are David Grossman, Judith Katzir, Yossi Avni, Etgar Keret, Mira Magen Orly Castel-Bloom, Yoav Katz, Uri Tzaig, Alex Epstein, Nava Semel, Gadi Taub, and Alona Kimhi. No. 1533 Chief Rabbi Hertz; Wars of the Lord by Derek Taylor Read by Ita Rubin Chief Rabbi Joseph Herman Hertz (1872-1946) can fairly lay claim to having been Britain's greatest Chief Rabbi. He led the community through two world wars and was instrumental in the rescue of Jewish Refugees from Nazism. He published more than any of his predecessors, including the editing of the seminal Hertz Chumash and the enormously influential Book of Jewish Thoughts. He was a founder of the Council of Christians and Jews and the first Chief Rabbi to broadcast on the radio. He was so highly regarded in the general community that he was the first to be made a Companion of Honour. No. 1776 The book also charts the battles Hertz waged to maintain the authority of the Chief Rabbinate in Britain, against the powerful opposition of his own Honorary Officers at the United Synagogue. As he saw it, he was always fighting the battles of the Lord and, when he died, he had triumphed over the obstacles that faced him. This is the first full-scale biography of one of the architects of the Jewish Community in Britain today.
