    Book Description

    This international exploration of Jewish and Holocaust museums, modern synagogues, Jewish community centers and schools demonstrates how these important structures lend architectural shape to the Jewish identity.

    Architects commissioned to build religious-based structures are uniquely responsible to the history and values of the community they represent. Nowhere is this more evident than within the Jewish structures of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, a time of disruption, destruction, immigration, and reconstruction of Jewish society. Accompanying a touring exhibition, this important work demonstrates the fundamental differences among fifteen museums, synagogues, community centers and schools throughout the world. It covers sites in America, where the architecture of Jewish institutions looks back on a legacy of uninterrupted development; in Israel, where the great wave of immigration adopted modernist as well as Mediterranean traditions; and in Europe, where rebuilding and reconciliation attempt to balance a history of pain and tragedy.

      2 out of 5 stars An Inferior Source for Information on Eichmann.......2004-10-17

      It would, perhaps, be unfair to say there is no value in the book for those who are interested in Eichmann. However, Sachs' book in a very inferior source, in part because it is poorly researched, and sometimes the author seems to have a poor grasp of the meaning of her research materials.

      The author's comments in the editorial section above, which completely mischaracterize the arguments made by Hannah Arendt in her book on the Eichmann trial and which also suggest that Sachs holds the ridiculous belief that Arendt had something to do with crafting the arguments used by the Defendants in the Nuremberg trials, should give any potential reader pause.

      5 out of 5 stars A Deep Perspective Through Brevity.......2001-02-27

      Although this book is written for the adolescent student, do not let its brevity fool you. Ms. Sachs went to the heart of the matter of the life of Adolf Eichmann, his association with the Nazi Party, and the stamp he placed on history in connection with the unnecessary slaughter of European Jews in the 1930s-1940s. The weight of this book leans towards Eichmann's simple nature, yet shows how ironically this simple man played an important role in a complex scheme of death. My highest commendations for this work in these days of plurality and remembrance.

            Book Description

            Changing Seasons is a "coffee table" book that will actually be read. Each volume is custom bound by hand. No two volumes are alike.

            This numbered, limited edition of 5,000 features autograph by the author. If you purchase the book, a certificate of authenticity can be obtained from the publisher at no additional charge. Each book is clearly labeled "number x of 5,000."

            Changing Seasons features the poetry of Ruth Sachs. Beginning with "Birthing Green," when crocuses poke their head through the snow, on to "Last Sunset," marking the end of life, Ruth's readers get a sense of life's neverending circles.

            The beautiful words are enhanced by line drawings that trace the laughter and tears we know from youth to old age.

            The uniqueness of each cover underscores the uniqueness of each individual, of each person's contribution to the world around us.

            5 out of 5 stars Beautiful poetry.......2003-06-04

            Enjoy the beauty of the words, the images evoked. These are poems to learn by heart, poems to love and cherish.

            They will make you think of people you love, people you grew up with, people you cannot live without. Ruth knows our friends. It's clear her heart was full when she wrote this volume.
