• the anthology Before All Memory is Lost, has received the 2017 Canadian Jewish Literary Award in the category of Holocaust Literature. No doubt, the stories of these courageous woman will enrich the knowledge of future generations about the power of the human spirit and enable readers to grasp a deeper understanding of the Holocaust - one story at a time.

  Holocaust Literature: Before All Memory Is Lost: Women's Voices from the Holocaust (Azrieli Foundation), edited by Myrna Goldenberg, is the first anthology ever published by the Azrieli Foundation. Twenty-five women (including one chapter from Chana Mindla Wolkowicz) reflect on their experiences of survival. Each account is woven together by a common thread: women resisted and, ultimately, triumphed against the brutality they faced during the Holocaust. The book features a wide variety of narrative styles, including prose, poetry and diary excerpts.

• "Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded - here and there, now and then - are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. ...

Software and Theory

A sample of the software:

• A Projection Technique for Graph Bisection, contains fortran programs for graph bisection.
• Linear Programming, contains matlab programs for linear programming, including a simplex method routine.
• Semidefinite Programming, contains matlab programs for semidefinite programming, i.e. linear programs where the nonnegativity constraint is replaced by a positive semidefinite constraint on matrix variables. Also available: an annotated bibliography of SDP.
• matrix completion problems with both the semidefinite and the Euclidean matrix completion problem.
• Trust Region Subproblems consist in minimizing a quadratic function subject to a quadratic constraint.
