\"18002BER<\/a>WINNER OF THE HERBERT STEINER PRIZE FOR SCHOLARSHIP ON RESISTANCE TO FASCISM AND NAZISM<\/p>\n

ESCAPEES
\nThe History of Jews Who Fled Nazi Deportation Trains in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands
\nTanja von Fransecky
\nTranslated from German by Benjamin Liebelt<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the countless stories of resistance, ingenuity, and personal risk to emerge in the years following the Holocaust, among the most remarkable, yet largely overlooked, are those of the hundreds of Jewish deportees who escaped from moving trains bound for the extermination camps. In France, Belgium, and the Netherlands alone over 750 men, women and children undertook such dramatic escape attempts, despite the extraordinary uncertainty and physical danger they often faced. Drawing upon extensive interviews and a wealth of new historical evidence, Escapees<\/em> gives a fascinating collective account of this hitherto neglected form of resistance to Nazi persecution.<\/p>\n

\nAn Ethnography of Germany’s Fastest-Shrinking City
\nFelix Ringel<\/p>\n

Volume 33, EASA<\/em> Series<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How does an urban community come to terms with the loss of its future? The former socialist model city of Hoyerswerda is an extreme case of a declining postindustrial city. Built to serve the GDR coal industry, it lost over half its population to outmigration after German reunification and the coal industry crisis, leading to the large-scale deconstruction of its cityscape. This book tells the story of its inhabitants, now forced to reconsider their futures. Building on recent theoretical work, it advances a new anthropological approach to time, allowing us to investigate the postindustrial era and the futures it has supposedly lost.<\/p>\n
