These homes opened their doors to evacuated children, were transformed into hospitals, and played host to training camps for the armed forces. The care of the estates was often left to young women and the elderly, who had to completely change the running of their homes to accommodate essential wartime activities.  In this fascinating history, Judith S. Lewis explores the lives of country houses during the Second World War. Some homes were requisitioned for intelligence operations, like Audley End, which was used as the headquarters of the Polish Section of SOE, whereas others, like West Wycombe, were used to house artefacts of national importance. Examining the long legacy of the war, Lewis reveals why some houses survived, whether as family homes, museums, or public parks, while others simply disappeared altogether.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53060539384081,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53060539515153,"sku":"NGR9780300290134","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780300290134.jpg?v=1773317288"},{"product_id":"thinking-ahead-toward-the-next-generation-of-judaism-book-judith-s-lewis-9781892006073","title":"Thinking Ahead Toward the Next Generation of Judaism","description":"Essays in honor of Oskar Brecher.  \"Oskar Brecher became president of Temple Israel of the City of New York because of his Herculean efforts in restoring the external physical integrity of our building, as a chairman of the House Committee. He claimed, when he agreed to accept the presidency, that his interest in the \"religious\" side of Judaism was limited, but that he would help the congregation in any way he could, out of a sense of obligation to the community. Despite his protestations, Oskar Brecher quickly became a leading advocate for restoring the intellectual and spiritual integrity of Reform Judaism. His knowledge of Jewish texts and history gives him a level of credibility unusual among the lay leadership of our movement. He has pushed us to probe beyond the surface of popular Jewish trends, to articulate a coherent philosophical approach for modern Jews.  Each of the authors in this volume has emerged as an important partner of Temple Israel in this quest for a viable modern Judaism. I extend my deepest gratitude to each of them for participating in this publication, and for sharing our journey.  Oskar Brecher has observed that the work of a Temple president is ephemeral and leaves behind no lasting mark as the institution continues to move forward. I do not usually disagree with him–and certainly not publicly–but in this case I know that he is wrong. Not only will he leave permanently transformed the physical appearance and effectiveness of our building, but he has also permanently transformed how we think about our lives as members of the Jewish community. This volume is the proof-and we offer it to him in gratitude for his constant support and encouragement. We hope that it will provide food for serious thought and discussion among its readers and motivate others to join us in this quest for a meaningful, living Judaism for our children and our children's children.\" - Judith S.

Fortunately, as a literate and self-conscious group, these women created and preserved vast manuscript collections now available to historians. In Sacred to Female Patriotism, Judith S. Lewis taps into these sources to demonstrate how the social and political worlds of Georgian Britain interacted to give women an influential voice in politics that was previously unimagined. The result is a lively, powerful, and important story that challenges many of our comfortable stereotypes of the past while providing us with a better understanding of 18th century electoral politics in general.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53708525666577,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53708526485777,"sku":"NLS9780415944120","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415944120.jpg?v=1782433288"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-judith-s-lewis.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
