This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid to late 1930s at 15 years of age, my father applied for a job at sea in order to fulfill a childhood dream to 'see the world'. His employer, the Harrison Line Ltd., offered him work on the Passenger Cargo steamer SS Davisian. Little did he know that his dream was going to be cut short by WWII and the sinking of the merchant ship he was working on. This book is a combination of his thoughts during that time, together with illustrations and photos of the time when his Merchant ship was attacked and sunk approx 410 miles north of Barbados and sunk in position 18,00N 54,30W on voyage, London to West Indies with general cargo, to his time in a German Prisoner of War Camp and finally, Drancy a Concentration Camp located near Paris in occupied France. During the period of German occupation 26 concentration camps were operated in the Occupied Zone. The central concentration camp in France was Drancy, not far from Paris. Following the German occupation in 1940, Drancy was initially used as a camp for French and British prisoners of war. Beginning in the summer of 1941, when the roundup of Paris Jews began, Drancy was used to imprison Jewish A WAR TIME LOG detainees. From March 1942 Drancy became a transit camp for Jews who were being deported to the 'East', an expression Adolf Hitler preferred to use when referring to the 'Death Camps'. T
Book Synopsis Drancy - Journey's End! by : Raymond Roscoe
Download or read book Drancy - Journey's End! written by Raymond Roscoe and published by PCI Leisure. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Story description A Film Treatment is available to legitimate film production companies for this true story Drancy – Journey's End!' - based on the true account of Thomas Roscoe from his 'Wartime Log' which he wrote during his captivity as a teenage civilian. 'Drancy - Journey's End' is written in a novel style. The account stretches from the day he stepped on board the cargo ship in 1937 (at the age of 14) that was to be his workplace and home for the foreseeable future, through to a meeting held at the houses of Parliament in 1993. The book attempts to view things as he would have done at such a young age. This is a true story of a 14 year old British boy from Liverpool who lied about his age in order to fulfil his childhood dream, to see the world. Using his older brother’s birth certificate, Thomas was able to secure himself a job on a cargo ship, SS Davisian in 1937 two years before the outbreak of WWII. The book covers his fears as the ship he was working on was bombarded with shells from a German surface raider, the scuttling of his ship in shark infested waters. It covers the horrors he endured in a concentration camp, the screams of men, women and children as they were beaten and tortured by guards, the fears he had, his hopes and dreams all dashed and then a final battle in 1993 with a British tribunal. The author is trying to get the war and maritime records corrected and to bring this account into the Public Domain. The author is also looking for a film producer to help put this true story on the screen. The only record the Liverpool Maritime Museum has been that Thomas was sent to one P.O.W. camp, Milag-Nord. They had no idea that other camps were involved. They were shocked to see the Parliamentary tribunal transcript about Drancy concentration camp. Why was there no mention to the media back then about non-combatant British teenage civilians being held in Drancy concentration camp? Was it because it would have caused a media frenzy back then and even today, to know that the government tribunal of the time not only played down Drancy as a Concentration camp, but also left British civilians in Germany even after the war. Maybe that was why they denied it was a concentration camp, maybe that was also the reason why that meeting in 1993 was held so late at night and maybe it could have caused a huge legal battle with even greater compensation with the British media wanting to know why they were left there. So, from the tribunal’s viewpoint, deny Drancy was a concentration camp and don't pay the compensation out, compensation that Germany had given. There are others around the world who deny Drancy was a concentration camp, obviously the holocaust deniers are at the top of the list, referring to it as just a ‘transit’ camp. The following statement is in the 1993 tribunal transcript (copy in the book), quote, ‘under the legal definition that we apply in the United Kingdom, we do not accept that Drancy was a concentration camp’, unquote. The 1993 Parliamentary tribunal transcript in the book states, quote, "On 13 August 1992, Helmut Wegner, the Minister Plenipotentiary at the German embassy in London, wrote to stating that his Government confirmed that in the ”Bundegesetzblatt"— the official gazette—Drancy is listed in the published list of concentration camps" unquote. The Israeli Government, at the Yad Yashem memorial in Jerusalem, has a memorial to holocaust victims, listed there is Drancy as a concentration camp.” These are just two of a number of statements listed in the book. According to the Weiner Library in London, the oldest institution in the world that specialises in the Holocaust, Drancy was a ‘concentration camp’ (their statement is in the transcript of the 1993 meeting) toward the end of the book. Interesting too is the fact that on Amazon there are books about Drancy referring to it as a concentration camp and each of those books are of German origin. The Jewish Memorial in San Francisco has Drancy listed as a concentration camp along with Belsen, Auschwitz and numerous other concentration camps. I photographed one particular memorial stone showing Drancy which is in this book. There are also eye witness accounts and other references. There is more to this story, but after nearly 10 years of emails, research and letter writing to various government departments in the UK and abroad there is still a lot of questions that need answers in particular, dates of incarceration.

Book Synopsis Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States by : National Research Council
Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the quarter century that followed American entry into World War II, the nation's armed forces moved from the reluctant inclusion of a few segregated Negroes to their routine acceptance in a racially integrated military establishment. Nor was this change confined to military installations. By the time it was over, the armed forces had redefined their traditional obligation for the welfare of their members to include a promise of equal treatment for black servicemen wherever they might be. In the name of equality of treatment and opportunity, the Department of Defense began to challenge racial injustices deeply rooted in American society. For all its sweeping implications, equality in the armed forces obviously had its pragmatic aspects. In one sense it was a practical answer to pressing political problems that had plagued several national administrations. In another, it was the services' expression of those liberalizing tendencies that were permeating American society during the era of civil rights activism. But to a considerable extent the policy of racial equality that evolved in this quarter century was also a response to the need for military efficiency. So easy did it become to demonstrate the connection between inefficiency and discrimination that, even when other reasons existed, military efficiency was the one most often evoked by defense officials to justify a change in racial policy."_x000D_ Morris J.
