Book excerpt: A moving account of a mother and daughter who visit Germany to face the Holocaust tragedy that has caused their family decades of intergenerational trauma, from the author of Brothers, Sisters, Strangers Finalist for the National Jewish Book Award In 1938, when Edith Westerfeld was twelve, her parents sent her from Germany to America to escape the Nazis. Edith survived, but most of her family perished in the death camps. Unable to cope with the loss of her family and homeland, Edith closed the door on her past, refusing to discuss even the smallest details. Fifty-four years later, when the void of her childhood was consuming both her and her family, she returned to Stockstadt with her grown daughter Fern. For Edith the trip was a chance to reconnect and reconcile with her past; for Fern it was a chance to learn what lay behind her mother's silent grief. Together, they found a town that had dramatically changed on the surface, but which hid guilty secrets and lived in enduring denial. On their journey, Fern and her mother shared many extraordinary encounters with the townspeople and—more importantly—with one another, closing the divide that had long stood between them. Motherland is a story of learning to face the past, of remembering and honoring while looking forward and letting go. It is an account of the Holocaust’s lingering grip on its witnesses; it is also a loving story of mothers and daughters, roots, understanding, and, ultimately, healing.
Download or read book Christ Apostles Sane or Demented written by Alejandro Roque Glez and published by Alejandro's Libros. This book was released on 2023-10-29 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostles of Christ transformed a world which presumed of intellectual and sophisticated. The wisdom of God made from simple apprentices, master sof few words; even so it remains to this day. Were they demented, or sane men filled with the Holy Spirit? There is still a dark hour yet to come in the final annals of human history apart from our Creator—and soon—where men of God will have to face the most deadly and sophisticated worldly power having as a defense weapon only their dignity, as the first Christian Martyr Stephen had it. They will be accused before political and religious councils; however, the Light that the Lord propagated cannot be extinguished, because it is eternal. The only interest of Yeshúa of Nazareth is that mankind had the same opportunities and gets to enjoy the promises of God. It is up to men in choosing or rejecting his ways. Nobody should lose that gift from God given by his infinite mercy. That is the nature of our Heavenly Father. We are all dismissed from God’s glory and for that basic and important reason we are in much need of the Galilean from Nazareth: to let us boarding his eternal boat. In a prophecy written centuries before the coming of Jesus, the Holy Spirit announced for us: “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.” (Psalm 2:12).
Download or read book A Polish Son in the Motherland written by Leonard Kniffel and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searching for the remnants of his family, Leonard Kniffel left Chicago in 2000 to live in Poland. A Polish Son in the Motherland is the story of a search for roots and for the reasons why one family’s ties were severed more than fifty years ago. Along the way, we see what half a century of communism did to Poland and how the residue of World War II lingers. The author’s search begins inauspiciously, but he soon meets a local wine merchant and her son, who are eager to reveal the secrets of Nowe Miasto Lubawskie, the town near which his grandmother was born. After he moves in with Adam, a local entrepreneur who trades in everything from shoes and cosmetics to computers and jam, he begins to master his ancestral language and learn the ways of the community from Adam’s mother, who loves long walks in the woods—and meals made from what she picks there. Kniffel’s search for a connection to Poland is propelled by memories of the stories his grandmother told him about her emigration to Michigan in 1913. While his family eludes him, the adventure becomes an investigation into the relationship between mothers and the legacy they give their sons. Poles who emigrated to America, the author concludes, must have been particularly good at assimilating into American culture. Less than fifty years after his maternal grandparents arrived in the United States, barely a trace of their Polishness existed in their grandchildren. Through his grandparents’ struggles, their children became American and created a new world for themselves and their descendants. In returning to Poland himself, Kniffel sought and found a bridge to the “Great Migration” that changed the lives of so many millions—and millions yet to come.
Download or read book Jesus Christ Myth or Reality written by Alejandro Roque Glez and published by Alejandro's Libros. This book was released on 2023-10-29 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many, Jesus is a good man, others believe he was a great leader who died many years ago, or a story created a century ago. Some do not even imagine any of the events from when he lived among us. What did reveal to us the apostles who were with him? Is Jesus a myth? Is he a reality? The popular superstitions and all the impiety that societies submerged in spiritual numbness produce, cause that our atmosphere is highly distrustful to everything, and snatches from our hearts the highest love expressions which could only come from the consolatory wisdom of our God and Creator. Jesus, the Word of God, uncovered for us in a simple way the secrets of wisdom and salvation unveiled for those who believe in him. Not for perfects and impeccable ones, but the weary and afflicted, those who know about the loads are too heavy to be carried in our hands as we walk through lifetime valleys of shadows. Who sat feet on this earth and has given such unerring sentences as the ones given by the Lord? Who is that man who expressed such strong words that shook the world? "The officers answered, No man ever spoke like that!" (John 7:46) [Taken from the author's book entitled: "Born Motherland or Death"]

Download or read book Life on the Outside written by Øivind Fuglerud and published by Pluto Press (UK). This book was released on 1999 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Fuglerud study is a prototype for any anthropologist or political scientist working on a politicised-radicalised Diaspora.' Ethnic Conflict Research Digest'This book about a recent immigrant group (Sri Lankan Tamils) in a European liberal democracy (Norway) is paradigmatic for how the anthropology of a displaced population ought to be done anywhere in the western world. ... Based on extensive field research in Norway and brief but insightful research in Sri Lanka, Life on the Outside is an elegant and effective blend of theory and ethnography. One of the very best in refugee studies to date.' E. Valentine Daniel, Columbia UniversityThis study of the Tamil diaspora is one of the first full ethnographic studies of a post-colonial migrant community, and a major contribution to the study of migration, globalisation, identity politics and 'long distance' nationalism from an anthropological perspective.Fuglerud's study traces the history of Tamil migration, from the arrival of the economic migrants of the 1960s to the 'asylum seekers' of the mid 1980s onwards. He draws unnerving parallels between the status of the Tamil community in Sri Lanka, as a beleaguered and persecuted minority waging a war of liberation, and as a displaced, marginalised and excluded refugee community.Fuglerud argues that, in the process of displacement, particular aspects of Tamil culture - marriage, dowry, chastity and ritual - acquire a heightened significance. He examines the contradictions and inconsistencies which characterise the Tamil refugee communities, and the success of revolutionary Tamil nationalism in exile, highlighting the transnational nature of identity politics.
