Download or read book The Nazi s Granddaughter written by Silvia Foti and published by Regnery History. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hero–or Nazi? Silvia Foti was raised on reverent stories about her hero grandfather, a martyr for Lithuanian independence and an unblemished patriot. Jonas Noreika, remembered as “General Storm,” had resisted his country’s German and Soviet occupiers in World War II, surviving two years in a Nazi concentration camp only to be executed in 1947 by the KGB. His granddaughter, growing up in Chicago, was treated like royalty in her tightly knit Lithuanian community. But in 2000, when Silvia traveled to Lithuania for a ceremony honoring her grandfather, she heard a very different story—a “rumor” that her grandfather had been a “Jew-killer.” The Nazi’s Granddaughter is Silvia’s account of her wrenching twenty-year quest for the truth, from a beautiful house confiscated from its Jewish owners, to familial confessions and the Holocaust tour guide who believed that her grandfather had murdered members of his family. A heartbreaking and dramatic story based on exhaustive documentary research and soul-baring interviews, The Nazi’s Granddaughter is an unforgettable journey into World War II history, intensely personal but filled with universal lessons about courage, faith, memory, and justice.
Download or read book These Things I Wish written by Lee Pitts and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cherish the values of an earlier time, when household chores and simple pleasures -- not the latest video game or a new car at sixteen -- helped children to develop their character When Paul Harvey read Lee Pitts's essay "These Things I Wish" on his nationally syndicated radio show, Paul Harvey News and Comment, listeners everywhere loved it, and it's become a classic that's been passed from parent to child, from friend to friend. Here, for the first time, Pitts's moving text is presented opposite beautiful illustrations in a book that is the perfect gift for parents and children of all ages. Pitts writes that present-day parents have tried hard to make life better for their children -- but instead they've made it worse. What today's young people need are the things that Pitts wishes for them: hand-me-down clothes, leftover meatloaf, having to mow the lawn and do the dishes, punishment when they've done something wrong. . . . He also wishes that they may know the beauty of a mountain range, and the value of hard work and an education. In plain yet beautiful language, Pitts helps us to envision a simpler time, when children weren't so overscheduled and spoiled with every consumer delight they could ever want. Self-sufficiency, humility, quiet wisdom, personal strength -- these are the virtues that are learned through challenge and adversity. These Things I Wish celebrates values from the past that are so necessary for our future -- the values we yearn for in our busy lives.

Download or read book Advice for My Grandchildren written by Gordon Feir and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advice For My Grandchildren is a collection of anecdotes and ideas inspired by the author's grandparents, with whom he spent many boyhood hours. As generations and circumstances change, so do the experiences of our elders, and they cannot resist passing these experiences on to their offspring. In the minds of grandparents this advice is invaluable and timeless. In the minds of grandchildren it is often boring and irrelevant. This collection is broken loosely into three categories entitled People, Places, and Things. Reminiscences are not chosen for any special purpose other than to pass on some of the lessons the author has learned, often at great expense or embarrassment. This brief volume may help grandchildren everywhere get a jump on the competition, if not on life itself. We can always hope that they might pass some of these stories on to their grandchildren, perhaps 50 or 100 years from now. What better legacy?
