Anne Frank's Diary in Te Reo Maori
Te Reo translation of a classic provides this vivid, moving story with a Maori voice
The story of Anne Frank, a teenage Jewish girl who had to hide from the Nazis in occupied Holland during the Second World War, is known around the world.
Her diary, translated into more than 70 languages and published in 60 countries, is now joined by this edition in Te Reo Maori, one of New Zealand’s three official languages.
Translator Te Haumihiata Mason, who was herself discriminated against as a young Maori and very much identified with Anne’s life, has turned this edition of the diary into a vivid, moving story with a Maori ‘voice’.
It is our hope that this translation will add to the knowledge of the Shoah-Holocaust, the story of Anne Frank, and the dangers of discrimination, which each of us can influence even at the individual level.

Te Rātaka a Tētahi Kōhine
(The Diary of a Young Girl, in te reo Māori), by Anne Frank, translated by Te Haumihiata Mason, 2019
The world-famous Diary of a Young Girl was written by a German Jewish teenager hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during WWII.
Since its publication in 1947, it has been a beloved and deeply admired monument to the indestructible nature of the human spirit, More than 30 million copies have been sold and it has been translated into over 70 languages, now including into te reo Māori.
Anne Frank and her family, along with four other Jews, hid in the back of her fathers Amsterdam office building for two years. This is Anne’s record of that time. She was thirteen when the family went into the “Secret Annex." Tragically they were all found in August 1944 and transported to concentration and extermination camps, from which only Anne's father Otto was to survive.
This iconic book of a young girl's diary chronicling her family’s struggle to survive Nazi occupied Europe continues to be as relevant as ever to new generations of readers.
The Deckston Story
NZ$15.00
Steven Sedley
The story of Annie and Max Deckston, Jewish philanthropists, who saved twenty Polish Jewish children from the Holocaust. Annie and Max Deckston, originally from Russia, arrived in New Zealand in 1900. They farmed in the Hutt Valley for ten years, then moved to Wellington where they were engaged in a number of businesses, and property development. By the 1920s they had accumulated a considerable fortune, which enabled them to help their relatives move to Wellington. In the 1930s, the Deckstons brought out twenty Jewish orphans from Bialystok and set up a home for Jewish children in Berhampore, Wellington. The Deckstons saved these children from the fate of their families, most of whom were murdered in the Holocaust. When the children grew up and there was no longer a need for a childrens home, the estate of Max and Annie Deckston was used to fund a Jewish old age home in Naenae, Lower Hutt. When this home ceased catering for Jewish residents, the funds were used to support elderly Jewish people and to foster Jewish education. Many of the orphaned Deckston children later moved to Melbourne, but others stayed in New Zealand and became successful, assimilated New Zealanders.

My Two Lives
NZ$25.00
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.

Out of The Shadows: My life's journey from Monchengladbach to Milton and beyond
NZ$20.00
Wally Hirsh
Like so many people in this era, Wally Hirsh was encouraged to write his life story. His family fled from Nazi Germany in the late 30s. Many did not survive the Holocaust. Wally Hirsh and his family made it to New Zealand and settled in Milton, South Otago. His story talks about a life fulfilled...a rich career in education, a number of years in the position of New Zealand's Race Relations Conciliator and Human Rights Commissioner and the joys of raising a family. Writing, publishing, tramping, travel, ceramics and many other activities enriched his life and he received many awards and honours throughout it. He and his wife Adele have worked at rebuilding an extended family scattered throughout the world. Reflecting on a life fulfilled "in this land of milk and manuka honey" Hirsh also reflects on the losses to individuals, family and humanity through the worst chapter of man's inhumanity to man.

The Violinist: Clare Galambos Winter - Holocaust Survivor
NZ$40.00
Sarah Gaitanos
Klára Galambos was a twenty-year-old violin student in Budapest in March 1944. Arrested and thrown into jail in the first days after the German occupation, she later managed to get home to Szombathely, was in the ghetto there and transported with the Jews of Szombathely to Auschwitz Birkenau. After five weeks she and her aunt were among the thousand Hungarian women selected for slave labour at Allendorf. They returned to Hungary after the war, and in 1948 they both left Hungary for New Zealand, where Clare joined the fledgling national orchestra. As a long-serving member of the NZSO, she made a significant contribution to the musical life of this country. Clare passed away in 2014 and is buried in a Wellington cemetery. The Violinist draws on memoir, interviews and historical research to tell a compelling story.

Refuge New Zealand: A nation's response to refugees and asylum seekers
NZ$35.00
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.

The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition (Penguin Modern Classics)
NZ$25.00
Anne Frank
Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl is an inspiring and tragic account of an ordinary life lived in extraordinary circumstances that has enthralled readers for generations. This Penguin Classics edition is edited by Otto H. Frank and Mirjam Pressler, translated by Susan Massotty, and includes an introduction by Elie Wiesel, author of Night. 'June, 1942: I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.' In Amsterdam, in the summer of 1942, the Nazis forced teenager Anne Frank and her family into hiding. For over two years, they, another family and a German dentist lived in a 'secret annexe', fearing discovery. All that time, Anne kept a diary. Since its first publication in 1947, Anne Frank's diary has been read by tens of millions of people. This Definitive Edition restores substantial material omitted from the original edition, giving us a deeper insight into Anne Frank's world. Her curiosity about her emerging sexuality, the conflicts with her mother, her passion for Peter, a boy whose family hid with hers, and her acute portraits of her fellow prisoners reveal Anne as more human, more vulnerable and more vital than ever.
