"A readable and well-organized synthesis…. [this book] ought to be essential reading for anyone seeking the nearest approximation of a “global archival history” currently available in English"
- Eric C. Stoykovich, University of Maryland, US
"It reflects much of the latest scholarship on all periods of archival history from ancient Mesopotamia to the twentieth century; it covers an impressive range of topics in a very small space; and, as the first and only monograph of its kind in English, it fills a long-standing void in professional literature. If it succeeds in provoking new interest in its subject matter, or encouraging its readers to undertake further research, it will have served its purpose admirably."
- Geoffrey Yeo, University College, London, UK
"For anyone interested in the historical development of archival practice or in the variety of perspectives available through the lens of international or global comparisons, A History of Archival Practice is a welcome addition to the growing literature on archival history."
- Rand Jimerson, Western Washington University, US "A History of Archival Practice, Margaret Procter, senior lecturer in record and archive studies at the University of Liverpool, UK, provides a beautifully rendered revision and translation of Delsalle’s chronicle of power and control for an anglophone audience."-Christopher M. Laico, Columbia University, US
"...Margaret Procter’s translation of this text by Professor Paul Delsalle is very much to be welcomed....I think the book has great potential value and undoubtedly fills a big gap in the extant literature."
-Elizabeth Shepherd, University College London, UK

A History of Archival Practice

“As a survivor of the Holocaust I have witnessed and experienced the tremendous efforts the Nazis made to destroy us, not only physically, but psychologically, by trying to take away our dignity, self-esteem, and humanness. But they failed because there are many instances of inmates who have maintained their principles and their dignity, and have committed acts of selfless generosity towards their fellow prisoners. Professor Shostak deserves much credit for identifying this issue and researching it thoroughly.”
—Magda Herzberger, survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Bremen, and Bergen-Belsen
“As past director of the Yad Vashem Department that honors thousands of non-Jews who risked their lives and that of their loved ones to help save the lives of Jewish victims, I welcome the extensive research into forbidden care researched by Professor Arthur Shostak. I am especially appreciative of his drawing on survivor memoirs, as these unique stories offer nuanced sensitive material that too often eludes academic notice. Professor Shostak's concept of stealth altruism adds a valuable conceptual tool to the field, as does his chapter on reform recommendations, many of which could soon help get what he aptly calls the ‘Help Story’ added to our long memorialization which focuses only on the Horror Story. I hope the book gets well-warranted attention, as the ‘Help Story’ – that of non-Jews and Jews alike – offers much in humanistic and moral support to us all.”
—Mordecai Paldiel, Ph.D., author of Saving One’s Own: Jewish Rescuers during the Holocaust
“[This] work makes a strong case for giving much needed attention to ‘Carers’. In fact, those people who provided acts of kindness and compassion, even at risk of cruelty and death, are the heroes who allow us to maintain our moral balance and our faith in humankind. [Shostak’s] strong research and writing make this very clear, and provide a needed contribution to Holocaust and general humanities literature." 
—Jacqueline Silver, Seattle University
“Arthur Shostak has spent more than a decade exploring perhaps the single most neglected aspect—the ‘Help Story’ of present Holocaust scholarship. He has provided a very thorough, and, therefore, more balanced account of Jews helping fellow Jews, via stealth altruism. Whether covert, or overt, these ‘tools of the heart, mind, and soul’ often helped keep a fellow prisoner’s ‘moral self’ intact at tremendous risk to oneself. Shostak believes it is time the Horror Story, of which there is abundant evidence and display, be balanced with, or maybe against, the Help Story. It is crucial that, as we move from personal narratives to communal memory to institutional memory, we get the larger story right.”
—Bill Younglove, Holocaust educator, speaker, and writer
"It's about time. When we make the suffering of the Holocaust the central component of Jewish identity and communal Jewish discourse with global reality, we can destroy any innate ambitions of young people to remain Jewish. What healthy person wants to spend his entire life in everlasting mourning about the past? Young Jews, like young people everywhere, are looking for something of value for their own futures, and not an obsessive preoccupation with terrible past events. An identity of whining is singularly unattractive. Art Shostak has provided a healthy antidote to the 'poor us' self-pity of much of modern Jewish identity. He has deconstructed the negative Nazi narrative of the Holocaust and reconstructed a new, affirmative Jewish narrative. He has made it a story of Jewish dignity and grace and humanity in the face of the worst terror in human history. When you read these stories you are not depressed, you are uplifted. This is a Jewish identity that can inspire, that can provide examples of how to live one's life in stressful situations in no way comparable to those experienced by the inmates of the camps.”
—Tsvi Bisk, co-author, Futurizing the Jews: Alternative Futures for Meaningful Jewish Existence in the 21st Century
“I could not agree with [Shostak] more! I have long argued similarly with respect to Holocaust survivors that most of them are proof of human strength. . I have heard first-hand stories of altruistic giving and incredible mutual assistance, and admire [Shostak’s] dedication to focusing on the positive.” 
—Chaim Waxman, professor emeritus of Sociology and Jewish Studies, Rutgers University; senior fellow, Van Leer Jerusalem Institute
“I found this book to be an insightful analysis that provides a new perspective on the Holocaust by examining the ways in which concentration camp prisoners defied their Nazi captors in the most subtle way: by caring for each other. The book documents and analyzes the myriad of ways in which prisoners provided mutual help, keeping both communal and religious moral injunctions alive in the harshest of settings. In this, the book shifts attention from the atrociousness of the perpetrators to the resilience of the victims, and provides a fascinating case study of altruism, morality, and social solidarity under extreme conditions.”
—Shai Dromi, junior fellow, Center for Cultural Sociology, Center for Comparative Research, Yale University
“Arthur Shostak's Stealth Altruism offers a necessary, important ‘attitude adjustment’ for all who write about or study the Second World War, and the European Gentile and Jewish resistance to the Third Reich, especially of the overlooked non-militant variety. I think it will become a classic. It is already a must-read that will join such outstanding preceding volumes as Eva Fogelman's Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust. Shostak highlights Jews who, at risk of life and limb, dared to try to care for other Jews, and left us as a legacy a timeless model of upstanding behavior worth emulation worldwide.”
—Diana Mara Henry, independent scholar 
"Arthur Shostak has explored an aspect of the Holocaust that has been sorely neglected—the courage of altruistic human beings under great stress and danger. When I speak to students, they sometimes do ask whether Jews ever tried to help each other and now I'll have an eye-opening answer for them." 
—Peter J. Stein, Scholar, Ph.D., North Carolina Council on the Holocaust and Sociologist and Associate Director, University of North Carolina Institute on Aging
"The author’s writing is clear and moving. This book is clear, cogent, haunting, and accurate. Shostak uses references that are impeccable and varied. His focus upon forbidden acts of kindness is equally important and necessary for the world to learn."—Charles S. Weinblatt, New York Journal of Books
"Stealth Altruism is an important book. It persuasively argues that the prevailing (and dismal) social construction of the Holocaust -- the "horror story," which is fixated on Nazi atrocities and the victimization of Jews -- should be balanced by telling an inspiring "help story." ... No discussion of the Holocaust is complete without making this essential correction."　　 

—Matthew T. Lee, University of Akron
"Shostak accomplishes his mission: he has created "a redemptive Holocaust narrative that includes altruism along with anguish, care along with cruelty and valor along with victimization." … Stealth Altruism vastly enriches our understanding of the nature of Jewish resistance to the Nazis in the most desperate and gruesome circumstances."
—Bennett Muraskin, Jewish Currents
"Arthur B. Shostak, eminent sociologist and futurist, has made the examination of "stealth altruism" during the Holocaust his retirement project both in this book and in his social activism (xiii, 238). He focuses on "overlooked teachable lessons in the secret caring behavior of certain European Jews who defied Nazi prohibitions against helping landsmen (other Jews)" (xi) … As might be expected of such a prolific and experienced scholar, Shostak excels at gleaning the secondary literature on the Holocaust for pertinent information. The book makes heavy use of survivor accounts."
—Jeff Horn, The European Legacy
