The authorized agencies to recoup Nazi confiscation and 'Fire sale" transactions received fewer than 20 percent of the value of Jewish assets stolen by Nazis. Of the $220 billion confiscated by the Nazi's, $115-175 billion (at 2005 prices) remains unreturned. Even the highly publicized resurgence of restitution in the 1990s (when grandchildren sought restitution) resulted in the return of only three percent of assets. This book explores the remedies of retrieval of stolen property. Case law is a Byzantine labyrinth. The courts (both local and foreign) have different laws, different standards of provenance and different statutes of limitation. In addition, after 75 years ago is difficult to trace provenance if sold many times over. Can this massive tragedy, unequaled in human history, seek adequate restitution?

¿[T]he protagonist of ¿Trying to Recover¿ has autobiographical elements and other elements that are based on the fact that I¿m still trying to recover what I began to recover in 2008 (I began doing genealogy research in the prior year, and I figured out that I¿m Jewish just months before I was able to confirm it.). I might take at least another 15 years to fully recover it¿and that includes that I¿m still working to recover what past generations almost took to the grave¿¿

In Commentary in April 2007, Charles Murray, the coauthor of The Bell Curve (1994), again claimed that "Jews are smarter" than everyone else (Murray, 2007). In The Bell Curve, he and his late (and Jewish) coauthor, Richard Herrnstein, presented the argument "Ashkenazic Jews of European origins," test higher than any other ethnic group (Murray and Herrnstein, 1994). Jews in America and Britain have an overall IQ mean somewhere between a half and a full standard deviation above the mean, with the source of the difference concentrated in the verbal component. Murray again makes the argument of an unmistakable "Jewish Genius," in Commentary, but now with an explanation. The book analyzes reason for such a favorable attribute: the genetic, the environmental, and the divine. The weights apportioned to each remain indeterminate.

Few people know about the Jewish organization in Sweden that saved hundreds of thousands Jewish lives from the Holocaust. Fritz Hollander is the unknown Swedish businessman who stood in the center of it all. His son, Per Hollander, describes the events in this biography about his parents. Per Hollander has been encouraged by the thought of writing for his grandchildren. He wants them to know everything that wasn't covered in the archives. He believes that if it's not written now, no one will know. He hopes the book will lead to future generations understanding more about what happened during the war.

This book looks at psychosexual and relationship therapy through the lens of Orthodox Judaism. It examines the broader issues and the efficacy of how working within the Jewish Orthodox world could be translated into a wider client population. The book also explores historical contexts and concepts of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It hopes to inform educators, students and practitioners in the field.

This book contains two parts. In the first part children visit ancient Rome and Athens in a time machine. They experience the life of the people, and they listen to mythological stories narrated with an additional modern twist. The second part deals with life into the not too distant future, incorporating the technologies we have of our time and projecting them into the next century. The book contains tongue-in-check humor and irony, brain teasers, and the origin of our idiomatic expressions. It is recommended for young and more mature adults who want to be entertained in a light-hearted way.

Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jews will constitute the majority of America Jewry before the end of the 21st century. Many Haredi women are responsible not only for raising children but for supporting their families while their husbands study full time. Yet Haredi men always have the public persona and are placed in positions of authority; in the working world, women¿s roles are private. In the non-Orthodox community, this is often seen as misogynistic, but in the framework in which these women live, the situation is perceived differently. Few have been able to investigate this cultural reality, because the Haredi world is insular and does not invite others in. The authors of A Parallel Universe were able to meet the challenges of obtaining subjects for their study, overcoming concerns regarding privacy, modesty, and identifiability, because one of them is "of" the community and can relate personally and professionally to the administrators whose portraits constitute the narrative. A Parallel Universe identifies the key leadership characteristics of five extraordinary female school principals in Haredi girls' schools, using the research approach of portraiture.
