Sample Book Insights: #1 My parents’ house was in the kibbutz’s old people’s neighborhood. On our right was Clara, who worked in the laundry. Across from us lived Hilda and Shmul, the only old people in the neighborhood who were still a couple. Next to them was Kalman, and I have no idea what he looked like. #2 My sister, Lily, and my best friend, Iris, were in the army together. When they were discharged, they worked for a month in the kibbutz’s preschool classes. Lily worked at our class, Palm Tree Preschool, and Iris worked in Wheat Preschool. #3 I had a very happy childhood in the kibbutz. I was able to sleep at my parents’ house if I was sick, and there were lots of ways to be sick: a thermometer in the tea usually got the job done. I was also able to go out in the wind with my hair wet after washing it on Friday. #4 I was in bed for a week with a high fever. I learned the order of the TV shows by heart for every day of the week. I sent postcards to kids my age from home, and invited one girl from Kfar Yona to visit me at my kibbutz.

Book excerpt: "As a child growing up in Vancouver in the 1950s and early '60s, Diana Wichtel knew there was something different about her family. Her parents were far from forthcoming about the harrowing details of her Jewish father's journey from Poland to Canada during the Second World War, often leaving young Diana with more questions than answers. /// What she was told was that during the War, Benjamin Wichtel and several members of his family were herded onto a train headed for the Treblinka extermination camp. Along the way, Benjamin seized the opportunity to jump off the train, leaving behind his mother and five of his brothers and sisters, along with their spouses and children. Against all odds, Benjamin managed to evade the Nazis for the remainder of the War, eventually making his way to Canada and new life in Vancouver with a wife and three children of his own. But the past haunted him, and the pain of what he had gone through increasingly began to infiltrate his home life. When Diana was thirteen, her mother took the three children back to her native New Zealand, with the plan that Benjamin would at some point follow them. However, the family never saw him again. /// After decades of unanswered questions, Diana (now a journalist), set out on a journey of her own to uncover what happened to her father after they left him behind in Canada. The search became an obsession as she painstakingly uncovered information about his large Warsaw family and their fate at the hands of the Nazis, scoured archives across the world for clues to her father's disappearance, and visited the places he lived. This unforgettable memoir is a deep reflection on the meaning of family, the trauma of loss, and the insistence of memory. It asks the question: Is it better to know, or more bearable not to?"--

Download or read book Treblinka written by Chil Rajchman and published by MacLehose Press. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chil Rajchman, a Polish Jew, was arrested with his younger sister in 1942 and sent to Treblinka, a death camp where more than 750,000 were murdered before it was abandoned by German soldiers. His sister was sent to the gas chambers, but Rajchman escaped execution, working for ten months under incessant threats and beatings as a barber, a clothes-sorter, a corpse-carrier, a puller of teeth from those same bodies. In August 1943, there was an uprising at the camp, and Rajchman was among the handful of men who managed to escape. In 1945, he set down this account, a plain, unembellished and exact record of the raw horror he endured every day. This unique testimony, which has remained in the sole possession of his family ever since, has never before been published in English. For its description of unspeakably cruelty, Treblinka is a memoir that will not be superseded. In addition to Rajchman's account, this volume will include the complete text of Vasily Grossman's "The Hell of Treblinka," one of the first descriptions of a Nazi extermination camp; a powerful and harrowing piece of journalism written only weeks after the camp was dissolved.
Book Synopsis The Strange Ways of Providence in My Life by : Krystyna Carmi
Download or read book The Strange Ways of Providence in My Life written by Krystyna Carmi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God looks after the orphans. Happy childhood, horrors of war and miraculous rescue of the only child survivor from Obertyn.Krystyna Carmi's childhood was full of happy moments in the family house. Her childhood was filled with friends, both Polish and Ukrainian girls, that played games with her. She attended a Ukrainian school, participated in school celebrations; she lived a normal, everyday life. In her memoire, published after many years of silence, Krystyna Carmi shows the history of her family and her life. The book contains more than 100 pictures, taken by Krystyna's father, a professional photographer, and sent it to their family in Israel before the war. Krystyna was gifted with an amazing memory and as such was able to recall the atmosphere of those days, describing in details the appearance of a household; and if that wasn't enough, Krystyna Carmi writes about something very rare, the smells she remembered from childhood. Walking with her on the streets of pre-war Obertyn, we get to know the Jews, the Ukrainians, and the Poles and the social and material conditions of their lives, as well as their names and surnames. Krystyna Carmi paints a psychological portrait of these people; she writes about how they dressed, what they ate, what their attitude towards others was, and above all, towards God. She writes about things seemingly trivial, however when looking back, they are incredibly significant. But the happy childhood did not last long. The first days of war brought overall fear and panic, the entrance of Red Army soldiers to Obertyn, the arrest of Polish patriots, liquidation of Jewish shops, the gradual growth into a more difficult reality of occupation, the Hungarian army in Obertyn, Jews murdered by Ukrainians in the local towns, incredible photos of the members of the Jewish community, drowning in the Dniester by Ukrainians. However, the worst was still ahead of the Jewish community in Obertyn and her family. First, the Germans, then the Kołomyja ghetto. She was with her parents as well as her maternal and paternal grandfathers. The life conditions in which Obertyn Jews had to live are described in the poem Molasa "" Ghetto Sweets; she shows in a fictile, detailed way, psychophysical suffering caused by hunger. People died in the ghetto because of hunger and physical exhaustion; their bodies were collected on a platform. These deaths do not escape the attention of a sensitive and suffering girl, who years later will write a poem with the title In Remembrance of Innocently Suffering People of Different Ages and Sexes from Kołomyja Ghetto; a picture of the platform will stay in her memory forever. "The open mouth and eyes of these human corpses have been hunting me all my life." Then she returned from the ghetto with her parents, and escaped from Obertyn, following by her sisters' death, which she described in a very suggestive way in her poems: Black Kamionka Forest. Part I Testimony and Black Kamionka Forest. Part II Curse). Her parents' death, hiding, hunger, thirst, fear for life, then indifference as time goes by because life is hard. It would be easier to part with the world, but The Strange Ways of Providence in her Life has chosen for her to live, to be. This is how you could present in short, the content of Krystyna Carmi's memoire. The memoire are interspersed with the cover of Doctor Markus Willbach, a friend of the Sorger family to emphasize the authenticity of Krystyna Carmi's (maiden name: Sorger) memories as the images, situations, and events witnessed by her as a little girl coincide with Doctor Willbach's account, an adult at that time.

Book Synopsis German Infantryman at War, 1939-1945 by : George Forty
Download or read book German Infantryman at War, 1939-1945 written by George Forty and published by Ian Allan Pub. This book was released on 2002 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "German Infantryman at War 1939-1945 tells this story using many unpublished photographs taken by Gerhard Sandmann, a typical infantryman. Born at Vlotho on the River Weser on 25 June, 1918, he joined the German Army at Northeim in September 1939 and served as an infantry soldier until he was captured in 1944. The major difference between him and so many thousands of his compatriots was that he survived and so did his photographic record of the places he went." "Backing up the photographs are reminiscences and battle accounts from individual soldiers and official wartime reports. These examine every aspect of the daily life of a soldier - the bad times and the more fleeting good ones - the moments of sheer terror and those of comradeship. This book is not a tribute to war, but an honest attempt to explain what it was like to be a German infantry soldier during World War II."--BOOK JACKET.
