Download or read book Opa's Story written by Hubert Bruns and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005-03 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The odds were against Hubert Bruns making it to age 80, but he did. Incredible luck prevailed throughout his life. As a youngster, he absconded with a bobsled and raced it down the mountain. As a teenager, he looked down through cracks in some scaffolding straight at Hitler without being shot. At 18 as a German soldier, he left the Front only hours before the Russians counter-attacked late in 1941. At 21, as a veteran, he was buried alive and almost died in Munich. Less dramatic happenings followed, but his luck continued. Two university degrees were acquired and Canadian immigration approved him for citizenship without delay. At 65, he survived a stroke and slowly regained the ability to think, talk and write. Quite a life. Quite a story.
Download or read book Opa Nobody written by Sonya Huber and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It had come to this: breastfeeding her screaming three-month-old while sitting on the cigarette-scarred floor of a union hall, lying to her husband so she could attend yet another activist meeting, and otherwise actively self-destructing. Then Sonya Huber turned to her long-dead grandfather, the family nobody, for help. Huber s search for meaning and resonance in the life of her grandfather Heina Buschman was unusual insofar as she knew him only through dismissive family stories: He let his wife die of neglect . . . he used his infant son as a decoy when transporting anti-Nazi literature in a baby carriage . . . and so the stories went. What she actually discovered was that, like his granddaughter, Heina Buschman was a committed and beleaguered activist whose story echoed her own. Huber s research not only conjured her grandfather s voice in answer to many of the questions that troubled her but also found in his story a source of personal sustenance for herself. Based on extensive research and documentation, this story of Heina Buschman offers a rare look into the heart of the average socialist trying to survive the Nazis and rebuild a broken world. Alternating with his voice is Huber s own, providing a rich and moving counterpoint that makes this deeply personal exploration of family, politics, and individual responsibility a story for all of us and for all time.

Book Synopsis Opa's Christmas Collection by : Opa Don
Download or read book Opa's Christmas Collection written by Opa Don and published by BookCountry. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do a boy who wants a sled, a semi-truck driver, a package delivery courier, an innocent man in jail, and a man helping a guilty man in jail, have in common? All are ordinary people who have an epiphany at Christmas time in this collection of short stories. “The Juniper Sled” my first story is the only non-fiction story in this book. It took place in the depression era of the 1930’s. In this story my father learned about the sacrifices parents make so that their children can have a nice Christmas. He told me this story when I was a child and it has been shared with my children and grandchildren. In “Christmas and Carol” a semi-truck driver picks up a hitchhiker on Christmas Eve and learns about empathy and forgiveness, both giving and receiving. Then in “Kosher for Christmas” a Jewish man delivers a surprise package and receives a surprise himself. The story “Jesus of Nazareth Texas” features an innocent man in jail on Christmas Eve, an unlikely setting to learn the true meaning of Christmas but he manages nonetheless. Finally, in “A Barry Christmas” hard core Barry must fill in as a store Santa Claus and he discovers that not all children think only of material things. By helping a little girl get what she wants for Christmas he receives something unexpected himself. I hope you enjoy these Christmas stories and if you do; please recommend them to your friends and family. Merry Christmas, Opa

Book Synopsis Flares of Memory : Stories of Childhood During the Holocaust by : Anita Brostoff
Download or read book Flares of Memory : Stories of Childhood During the Holocaust written by Anita Brostoff and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001-04-03 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a series of writing workshops at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh, survivors assembled recently to remember the pivotal moments in which their lives were irreparably changed by the Nazis. These "flares of memory" invoke lost childhoods, preserving the voices of over forty Jews from throughout Europe who experienced a history that cannot be forgotten--by them nor us. Including a timeline that chronicles the rise of the Nazis, their devastating campaigns for control of Europe, and the successive edicts that would annihilate millions, Flares of Memory consists of 92 brief vignettes arranged both chronologically and thematically. Survivors from Munich, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, and the Netherlands recreate the disbelief and chaos that ensued as families were separated, political rights were abolished, and synagogues and Jewish businesses were destroyed--before and especially after Kristallnacht. "We had entered a twilight zone between memories of earning our keep at our occupations and the fear of becoming game during hunting season," writes one survivor. Others remember the daily humiliation, the quiet heroes among their friends, and the painful abandonment by neighbors as Jews were restricted to ghettos, forced to don yellow stars, and loaded like cattle in trains destined for the camps: "We were completely stripped of all human identity." Vivid memories of hunger, disease, and a daily existence dependent on cruel luck in Dachau, Auschwitz, and other concentration camps provide penetrating testimonies to the ruthlessness of the Nazi killing machine, yet they also bear witness to the resilience and fortitude of individual souls bombarded by evil. This book also includes poignant recollections of American liberators who were often devastated by the horrors that they discovered after the fall of the Nazis. "A mix of emotions--disbelief, rage--overwhelmed us; tears blinded our eyes," recalls one soldier. Flares of Memory will inspire these emotions and will stay with you, long after you finish its pages.
