This publication explores the presence of written culture within community life. It spotlights a literacy project set up for a group of Mexican women living in a small town on the edge of Mexico City and examines the impact the project has on their lives. The author draws a number of important conclusions regarding the significance of literacy for adult education in a local context.--Publisher's description.

The narrative explores the unexpected journey of a secular, non-practising Jew who, after spending most of her life distanced from the Jewish community, becomes deeply involved in a Nazi war crimes tribunal. This experience challenges her identity and beliefs, forcing her to confront her heritage and the historical atrocities faced by her people, ultimately leading to a profound personal transformation amidst the backdrop of justice and remembrance.
