Paperback. Condition: New. Arnold Marsh, son of Belfast tin-factory owner born in 1890, is best remembered as an educationist and headmaster of Newtown Quaker School in Waterford, Ireland. His life also saw him travel widely, leaving Canada to work in a gold mine in Northern Ontario, on railway construction in British Columbia, and in a lumber campin Alaska where he met Scandinavians, Chinese and Japanese, Russians and a Finn who learned language after language so that he could read different versions of the Bible. There he encountered the racism experienced by native Alaskans treated as foreigners in their own country.In 1917, once war was declared in the United States, Marsh sailed from Alaska to California where he played an extra in the Douglas Fairbanks movie A Modern Musketeer. He was eventually 'inducted' into the US Army at Camp Lewis, Washington, and was sent to France to join the front line beset by Spanish Flu. After peace wasdeclared, Marsh returned to Ireland where he cycled 1200 miles around Ireland on a 'Grand Tour'.Returning to his first love, education, he got a job in the Friends School, Lisburn, becoming headmaster in 1926. At that time, he observed that Irish Protestants were pessimistic about their future, many sending their children to English schools. Numbers at Newtown had fallen to twenty pupils and the buildings were dilapidated. In sympathy with the new post-1916 independent Ireland, Marsh took immediate steps to improve the school'sconditions, and during his tenure, numbers grew to 300-400 pupils.His fresh ideas about multi-denominational education took inspiration from his own schooldays at Sidcot in England: 'The masters were our friends. We could look up to them and enjoy their company. . I got a great deal out of being away for those years, doing other work and getting to know other people. With my students I discussed the whole social system, trying to get people to think things out afresh.' He married the distinguished portrait painter Hilda Roberts and they, with their daughter Eithne, settled at the foot of the Dublin mountains in Woodtown Park during the late 1930s, building a community of like-minded tenants and idealists drawn from all over Europe.In his later years, he was inspired to write his memoir, illustrated with postcards, letters and photographs describing his journeys and adventures in North America, and his experiences as a headmaster. In 1976, a year before his death aged eighty-six, he was still splitting and sawing logs for the fire, recalling his early career as a lumberjack in Alaska those fateful years ago.…

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition color illustrated glossy softcover wraps. Includes Author Dedication; From the Director; Introduction; The Nazi Assault; The Holocaust; The Last Chapter; Afterword; Biographical Note; About the Museum; Acknowledgments; and Index. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white photographs, color photographs. "In April 1993, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum opened its doors in Washington, D.C., to honor and immortalize the 6 million Jews and the millions of other victims murdered by the Nazis during World War II. Drawing on the museum's artifacts and its extensive eyewitness testimony collection (the second largest in the world), and including over 200 photographic images from the museum's archives, The World Must Know journeys back in time to a world where Jewish culture thrived in central Europe, and proceeds to the moment when the most unspeakable events in history occurred. The World Must Know documents the human stories of the Holocaust, from the families who received sudden orders to report to the train stations for "resettlement in the East" to the Nazi officials who determined who would live and who would die and to ordinary citizens, like those in the village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, France, who risked their own lives by hiding Jewish refugees in their homes. The powerful and provocative images in The World Must Know tell of hope and death - the grim reality of the ghettos and concentration camps, the coolly efficient mobile killing units, as well as the brave and heart-wrenching stories of resistance and rescue. More than a catalogue of the museum's exhibit, the World Must Know is a work of superb scholarship that fulfills a commandment from those who perished, which lives in the memories of those who survived, the challenge and responsibility of all survivors everywhere: Remember. Do not let the world forget." - from the rear outer cover. "The World Must Know by Michael Berenbaum is a skillfully organized and clearly told account of the German Holocaust that consumed, with unparalleled malevolence, 6 million Jews and millions of innocent others - Protestants, Catholics, Poles, Russians, Gypsies, the handicapped, and so many others, adults and children. This important book, a vital guide through the unique corridors of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., merits the widest of audiences." - Chaim Potok, author. Snider, Steve (cover design); Kramer, Arnold (author photograph and editor of photogaphs); Marsh, Susan (book design) (illustrator). …
