{"product_id":"ghetto-kingdom-isaiah-spiegel-9780810116252","title":"Ghetto Kingdom: Tales of the Lodz Ghetto","description":"Isaiah Spiegel was an inmate of the Lodz Ghetto from its inception in 1940 until its liquidation in 1944. While there, he wrote short stories depicting Jewish life in the ghetto and managed to hide them before he was deported to Auschwitz. After being freed, he returned to Lodz to retrieve and publish his stories. \u003cbr\u003e ​ \u003cbr\u003e The stories examine the relationship between inmates and their families, their friends, their Christian former neighbors, the German soldiers, and, ultimately, the world of hopelessness and desperation that surrounded them. In using his creative powers to transform the suffering and death of his people into stories that preserve their memory, Spiegel succeeds in affirming the humanity and dignity the Germans were so intent on destroying. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published as \u003ci\u003eMalchut geto\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eMalkhes geto\u003c\/i\u003e) in Yiddish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isaiah Spiegel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810116251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810116252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.58w x 0.51d","brand":"Isaiah Spiegel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896483668223,"sku":"9780810116252","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_604d435b-5325-406f-9881-3f74b7508705.jpg?v=1721371521","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghetto-kingdom-isaiah-spiegel-9780810116252","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
