My Two Lives
Lotte Weiss
Lotte Weiss is a remarkable woman, who believes in miracles. Lotte was born in Czechoslovakia into a large and loving family. This came to an abrupt end when, in 1942, Lotte was forcibly deported, together with two of her sisters, to Auschwitz. Tragically, three months later, the rest of her family were also taken, and Lotte, alone, miraculously survived three year's slave labour in the death camp, from where only a handful returned. The miracle of surviving, the miracle of meeting her husband and the greatest miracle of all - that of having children and continuing her family - have made Lotte strong. Through her open heart, her never-ending good humour and positive attitude to life, she has shaken off the label of 'fate unknown.' She feels compelled to tell her story to the younger generations in the hope that these tragedies will never happen again.

Refuge New Zealand: A nation's response to refugees and asylum seekers
Ann Beaglehole
Unlike people who choose to migrate in search of new opportunities, refugees are compelled to leave their homeland. Typically, they are escaping war and persecution because of their ethnicity, their religion or their political beliefs. Since 1840, New Zealand has given refuge to thousands of people from Europe, South America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Refuge New Zealand examines New Zealand's response to refugees and asylum seekers in an historical context. Which groups and categories have been chosen, and why? Who has been kept out and why? How has public policy governing refugee immigration changed over time? Aspects of New Zealand's response to refugees and asylum seekers considered in the book include: the careful selection of refugee settlers to ensure they will 'fit in'; the preference for 'people like us' and the exclusion of so-called 'race aliens'; the desire for children, especially orphans; responses to the increasing diversity of refugee intakes; the balance between humanitarian, economic and political considerations; and the refugee-like situation of Maori. As the book also shows, refugees and asylum seekers from overseas have not been the country's only refugees. War, land confiscations and European settlement had made refugees of Maori in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, with displacement and land loss contributing to subsequent Maori social and economic deprivation.

"One and a Half Million Buttons: A tribute to the lost children of the Holocaust "
Joy Cowley
Joy Cowley was inspired by the project undertaken by the children of Moriah school and their message of diversity and acceptance. The project began back in 2008 when the children (aged 5 - 12 years) collected 1.5 million buttons to represent, and remember, the children killed in the Holocaust. This collection was handed over to the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand to further the vision of the children into a memorial. The Children's Holocaust Memorial launched November 2018. This book documents the journey from idea to full travelling exhibition.
