История евреев на Кавказе восходит к глубокой древности и теряется в тумане литературных и устных преданий. Современные евреи Кавказа сохранили весьма смутные воспоминания о своем происхождении. Но, как свидетельствуют путешественники XVIII и первой половины XIX века, среди евреев Кавказа была еще жива легенда, что они потомки десяти колен Израилевых, поселенных в Мидии ассирийскими царями. Российские этнографы-путешественники, очерки которых вошли в этот сборник, собрали интереснейшие...

A minnow and a whale. A flea and an elephant. Can this assortment of unlikely creatures assist us with the spiritual conflicts we face everyday? Yes. By presenting Biblical truths in parable form. Humorous but pithy stories told by these four unique characters offer insight into the words of the Apostle Paul in II Corinthians 4:18. «So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For the seen is temporary, while what is unseen is eternal.»

One of the most important and controversial figures in the history of race relations in America and the world at large, Marcus Garvey was the first great black orator of the twentieth century. The Jamaican-born African-American rights advocated dismayed his enemies as much as he dazzled his admirers. Of him, Martin Luther King, Jr., said, “He was the first man, on a mass scale and level, to give millions of Negroes a sense of dignity and destiny, and make the Negro feel that he was...

Though all forty volumes have not survived to the present day, the...

Organizacja SS wzorowana była na zakonach rycerskich, choć Heinrich Himmler już w 1929 r. mówił o przekształceniu jej we wspólnotę rodów – mężczyzn i kobiet. Miała to być elita narodu niemieckiego i jednocześnie rasa panów, władająca podbitymi terenami. Wydany w 1931 r. „Rozkaz o zaręczynach i małżeństwie” precyzyjnie określał, jakie kryteria musi spełniać żona esesmana i jaką ma pełnić rolę – zgodnie z zamysłami Reichsführera SS. Liczne spośród żon esesmanów były nie tylko wtajemniczone w...

We must accept uncertainty and ignorance in the field, as well as the need for citizens’ participation...
