Finalist for the National Jewish Book AwardUsing testimonies; Nazi documents; memoirs; and artistic representations; this volume broadens and deepens comprehension of Jewish women’s experiences of rape and other forms of sexual violence during the Holocaust. The book goes beyond previous studies; and challenges claims that Jewish women were not sexually violated during the Holocaust.This anthology by an interdisciplinary and international group of scholars addresses topics such as rape; forced prostitution; assaults on childbearing; artistic representations of sexual violence; and psychological insights into survivor trauma. These subjects have been relegated to the edges or completely left out of Holocaust history; and this book aims to shift perceptions and promote new discourse.

But now is now and nine years after publication those of us who care know so much more about the back-of-the-house restaurant reality; both in terms of process and personalities; that Kitchen Confidential doesn't pack quite the wallop it once did. That said; this is pure Bourdain being Bourdain: fun; outrageous; edgy; daring and honest. Good stuff. Anyone who is interested in the food service business but hasn't yet read this classic should pick it up. It's a quick and easy read; but one with a lot of meat on the bones. I found Bourdain's heartfelt admission that he is not and never will be (and the why behind it) a great chef to be soul-baring of the first order. Would that we could all confront our own failures and inadequacies with the openness and honesty that Bourdain does. That; more than anything else in this book; took balls. And for that alone the author deserves our respect.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A good read that kept me laughing and wondering how he could top his last story - but he continued to do so!By Betty D. MillerWe are all different; I realize. But Anthony Bourdain is undoubtedly the most unique person I've ever met. I've met him through his TV show; and gotten much better acquainted through this book. I particularly appreciate his being willing to share parts of his childhood plus deeply personal parts of his life that few of us would be willing to share with others. And the way he tells his some of his stories is very funny. Yes; I loved this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Required reading for newbies..By HaroldAs a foodie and former restaurant owner I found this book a great read. My better half didn't like the language or attitude but the reality is that Bourdain is accurate in his story telling and even though we were located in our state's third largest city; nothing like NYC; I heard and saw the same attitude in our "urban" kitchen. After the read I came across a young man who wanted to work in my kitchen; after a few miserable days of sloppy work I told him that he needed to read this book to understand the world he thought he wanted to be in and why my standards on cleanliness and prep was so important. I gave him another week and as of today he has left food service (fired rather for using oven cleaner on my grill top) and pursuing a career as a nurse. Let's just say I plan on avoiding the hospital he gets a job in! So; my point is; if you were ever interested in food service and have dreams of being a fancy chef you seen on the Food Network then read this book for a dose of reality!
