The Dome Of The Rock

Attribution
Oleg Grabar
Publication Details
Book, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2006
Description
The Dome of the Rock, the beautiful Muslim shrine in the walled Old City of Jerusalem, was fully restored to its original state in the last half-century. Thus, this structure, sited on the third holiest spot on earth for Muslims, is at once a product of the seventh century and almost entirely the work of our own times–a paradox in keeping with the complexities and contradictions of history and religion, architecture and ideology that define this site.

Criminal Case 40/61, The Trial Of Adolf Eichmann : An Eyewitness Account

Attribution
Harry Mulisch ; translated by Robert Naborn ; foreword by Debórah Dwork
Publication Details
Book, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005
Description
As Mulisch intersperses his dispatches from Jerusalem with meditative accounts of a divided and ruined Berlin, an eerily rebuilt Warsaw, and a visit to the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Criminal Case 40/61, the Trial of Adolf Eichmann emerges as a disturbing and highly personal essay on the Nazi extermination of European Jews and on the human capacity to commit evil ever more efficiently in an age of technological advancement.
