Because I was a painter [videorecording] : the never before told story of art in the concentration camps / by Cognet, Christophe,filmmaker.; Bacon, Yehuda,1929-interviewee.; Spitzer, W.(Walter),interviewee.; Willenberg, Samuel,interviewee.;
Writers, Christophe Cognet, Jean Breschand, Pierre-François Moreau ; cinematography, Nara Keo Kosal ; film editing, Catherine Zins.Walter Spitzer, José Fosty, Samuel Willenberg, Yehuda Bacon, Kristina Zaorska, Zoran Music."In 1945, when the Allies liberated the concentration camps, they discovered thousands of secretly created artworks. These drawings, hidden from the Nazis, offer an unparalleled understanding of life in the camps. Featuring interviews with surviving artists, curators as well as recently uncovered evidence, this ... documentary considers the ability of art to capture, reflect and survive under unimaginable conditions. Because I Was A Painter explores a wide range of perspectives, from an artist who grapples with finding beauty in paintings of corpses to Treblinka survivor Samuel Willenberg who believes that the artworks can be nothing but inherently devoid of beauty. In addition to works intended as art, the film contemplates the role of alternative relics such as portraits of Romani victims killed by infamous Nazi physician Josef Mengele and paintings that were recreated years later because originals were lost or destroyed. The film looks at paintings, drawings, wash drawings, and sculptures held in collections in France, Germany, Israel, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium and Switzerland. While drifting among these fragments of clandestine images and the vestiges of the camps, Because I Was a Painter undertakes a sensitive quest amid faces, bodies and landscapes to explore the notion of art and its preservation as an atavistic necessity."--Publisher.DVD.

Elaboration on applying the elicitation model in business, in law, and in everyday life : chapter commentary / by Peter Romany -- Appendix II. It all begins with preparation. / by Peter Romany -- Appendix III. Transcript of the actual initial interview of O.J. Simpson."Getting someone to tell the truth is an essential skill that very few people possess. In the boardroom, classroom, or our own homes, every day we interact with others and try to get the truth from them. People are often untruthful out of fear of negative consequences associated with divulging information. But if a person is made to forget the long-term outcomes, he or she can be influenced to disclose sensitive information that's being withheld. The aim is to encourage the person to remain in short-term thinking mode, shifting focus away from the long-term ramifications of telling the truth. As former CIA agents and bestselling authors of Spy the Lie, Philip Houston, Mike Floyd, and Susan Carnicero are among the world's best at recognizing deceptive behavior and eliciting the truth from even the most accomplished liars. Get the Truth is a step-by-step guide that empowers readers to elicit the truth from others. It also chronicles the fascinating story of how the authors used a methodology Houston developed to elicit the truth in the counterterrorism and criminal investigation realms, and how these techniques can be applied to our daily lives. Using thrilling anecdotes from their careers in counterintelligence, and with easy-to-follow instructions, the authors provide a foolproof means of getting absolutely anybody to give an honest answer. Get the Truth is the easy and effective way to learn how to get the truth every time"--Provided by publisher.

Django, Hand on Fire is the story of those mythical childhood and adolescent years; a portrait of the world of the Roma in France at the beginning of the Twentieth Century; and an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity, of family solidarity, and of love for music"--
