Book excerpt: “Blending elements of memoir, history, and biography,” the son of a Holocaust survivor “portrays the horrifying reality of the . . . concentration camps” (Midwest Book Review). In June 1944, the Nazis locked eighteen-year-old Dave Hersch into a railroad boxcar and shipped him from his hometown of Dej, Hungary, to Mauthausen Concentration Camp, the harshest, cruelest camp in the Reich. After ten months in the granite mines of Mauthausen’s nearby sub-camp, Gusen, he weighed less than 80lbs, nothing but skin and bones. Somehow surviving the relentless horrors of these two brutal camps, as Allied forces drew near Dave was forced to join a death march to Gunskirchen Concentration Camp, over thirty miles away. Soon after the start of the march, and more dead than alive, Dave summoned a burst of energy he did not know he had and escaped. Quickly recaptured, he managed to avoid being killed by the guards. Put on another death march a few days later, he achieved the impossible: he escaped again. Using only his father’s words for guidance, Jack Hersch takes us along as he flies to Europe to learn the secrets his father never told of his time in the camps. Beginning in the verdant hills of his father’s Hungarian hometown, we accompany Jack’s every step as he describes the unimaginable: what his father must have seen and felt while struggling to survive in the most abominable places on earth. “This deeply personal and extremely informative portrait of a man of indomitable will to live, as Hersch emphasizes, reminds us of why we must never forget nor trivialize the full, shocking truth about the Holocaust.”—Booklist

Download or read book Inside the Bataan Death March written by Kevin C. Murphy and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-09-24 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two weeks during the spring of 1942, the Bataan Death March--one of the most widely condemned atrocities of World War II--unfolded. The prevailing interpretation of this event is simple: American prisoners of war suffered cruel treatment at the hands of their Japanese captors while Filipinos, sympathetic to the Americans, looked on. Most survivors of the march wrote about their experiences decades after the war and a number of factors distorted their accounts. The crucial aspect of memory is central to this study--how it is constructed, by whom and for what purpose. This book questions the prevailing interpretation, reconsiders the actions of all three groups in their cultural contexts and suggests a far greater complexity. Among the conclusions is that violence on the march was largely the result of a clash of cultures--undisciplined, individualistic Americans encountered Japanese who valued order and form, while Filipinos were active, even ambitious, participants in the drama.

Download or read book Bataan Death March written by Bollich, James and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2003-10-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a brave American veteran comes an eyewitness account of a gruesome chapter in World War II history. Captured when America surrendered the PhilippinesBataan Peninsula, James Bollich experienced first-hand the march that cost more than 8,000 American and Filipino lives. Now, he shares the unforgettable experience of his three and a half years of Japanese imprisonment.This journal relates his personal experience, first focusing on the sixty-five-mile march that deprived prisoners of food, water, and rest. Prisoners received harsh punishments for any infraction, one of the most brutal of these being the policy of beheading them for taking a sip of water. Rather than force him to give up, these things made Bollich fight for life even more. Witnessing his comrades falling beside him and watching his own body waste away to ninety pounds, he never yielded his will to survive. After completing the march, he remained a prisoner of war, first at an old Philippine army base, then in another camp at Mukden, Manchuria. He relates his imprisonment in detail, from starvation and torture to digging their own comrades graves in the hot sun, without hats or water. Through it all, he remained courageous and hopeful that he would one day make it back home. His story reminds both past and present generations of the horror and brutality of the Pacific war, all the while providing an inspiring testament to the will ofthe human spirit.

Download or read book Bataan Death March written by William Edwin Dyess and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hopeless yet determined resistance of American and Filipino forces against the Japanese invasion has made Bataan and Corregidor symbols of pride, but Bataan has a notorious darker side. After the U.S.-Filipino remnants surrendered to a far stronger force, they unwittingly placed themselves at the mercy of a foe who considered itself unimpaired by the Geneva Convention. The already ill and hungry survivors, including many wounded, were forced to march at gunpoint many miles to a harsh and oppressive POW c& many were murdered or died on the way in a nightmare of wanton cruelty that has made the term "Death March" synonymous with the Bataan peninsula. Among the prisoners was army pilot William E. Dyess. With a few others, Dyess escaped from his POW camp and was among the very first to bring reports of the horrors back to a shocked United States. His story galvanized the nation and remains one of the most powerful personal narratives of American fighting men. Stanley L. Falk provides a scene-setting introduction for this Bison Books edition. William E. Dyess was born in Albany, Texas. As a young army air forces pilot he was shipped to Manila in the spring of 1941. Shortly after his escape and return to the United States, Colonel Dyess was killed while testing a new airplane. He did not survive long enough to learn that he had been awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor.

Download or read book The Bataan Death March 1942 written by Bob East and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 2024-08-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is predominately about the Bataan Death March that followed the capitulation and surrender of the Philippine and United States armed forces on 09 April 1942 in Luzon, Philippines. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in late December 1941, and the subsequent bombing of Clark Air Base, Japanese forces landed in Northern Luzon, and worked their way down to the capital, Manilla. Early in 1942, General Douglas MacArthur ordered all the Allied forces in Luzon to proceed south to the Bataan Peninsula. Both he and General Wainwright and 10,000 allied troops went further south to Corregidor Island. (This left General King in charge of all the allied troops in the Bataan Peninsula). Throughout January, February, and March 1942, the Philippine and U.S. troops underwent extreme hardship and, although asking General MacArthur for permission to surrender, which was refused, General King, on 09 April 1942 surrendered to the Japanese. This then triggered the beginning of the Bataan Death March—a 70 kilometre forced march to San Fernando, a train trip of 2-3 hours, and finally another 13 kilometre walk to the O’Donnell P.O.W. Camp in Capas. What followed was the death of thousands of prisoners of war both on the Bataan Death March and in the years following, until the Japanese surrendered in September 1945. The book will provide a valuable resource for students and researchers of modern history; particularly the Second World War, and the War in the Pacific,1941-1945.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after the surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor in late 1941, over 70,000 American and Filipino servicemen were captured by the Japanese in the Philippines. What ensued for these young men is considered by many military historians to be one of the most barbaric sequences of war crimes in history, yet it remains an incredibly inspiring story of unmatched heroism and survival. According to the Japanese code of Bushido a soldier captured alive had dishonored himself and his country, so their new prisoners were often regarded with utter contempt. Then Second Lieutenant Patrick Rafferty and his fellow “Battling Bastards of Bataan” had just forfeited the right to be treated humanely, at least in the eyes of their captors. Forced to march shoeless over sixty-five miles northward in unbearable heat with no water or food, men were routinely executed if they showed any signs of slowing the forward progress towards their internment camp. Some estimates suggest that nearly 18,000 men perished during the infamous Bataan Death March, bones and souls left unceremoniously in shallow graves on a dusty roadside. Ghastly Japanese prison camps awaited those ‘lucky’ enough to survive the Death March. Long, hard days of unrelenting slave labor under the watchful eyes and beating sticks of the prison guards drove many a young soldier to his early grave. If the torture and executions did not take one’s life, any number of intestinal diseases could, and often did. Having no communication with the outside world, the prisoners were assured the US and its allies had surrendered, adding heavy layers of mental anguish on top of the gruesome physical toll endured. Adding to this tortuous uncertainty, prisoners like Rafferty were routinely shuffled to new locations, sometimes via the notorious ‘hell ships’ like Oryoku Maru, where Allied soldiers were routinely drowned or murdered by the thousands, often by friendly fire. Still, tales of unwavering friendship and camaraderie thread beautifully throughout Rafferty’s account, often charmed by his Boston-Irish sense of humor, offering well-placed balance to the horrors. Decades later, then Lieutenant Colonel Rafferty would finally, bravely share his long-suppressed memories and the pain they brought. Speaking into a handheld tape recorder with striking detail, he revealed the true story of what he and his comrades endured. Amongst other jaw-dropping anecdotes from his three-and-a-half years as a POW, perhaps his most gripping personal horror was burying his sickly friend alive as a bayonet pointed into the back of his own neck to ensure the shoveling continued. This, then, is a moving first-hand account of survival at its most brutal core.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Death March is the sequel to Intervention by Michael Widmer. The GT Intervention Team entrusted by the president and vice president to stop mass shootings is back, and now their focus will experience an increase in the types of mass killers they will be facing. The information being gathered by the government has reached epic proportions, and the long-term focus continues to be the justification leaders use to continue the monitoring of “prospects” in an effort to stop the mass killings that plague the country. Who is safe from the invasion of personal privacy? And what will be the long-term solution? The story contains fictional characters from Intervention taking on the killers picked by the system. As the system grows, the number of teams increases as well. Though the cases are fictional, the type of crimes they address threatens all of us in real life, crimes that fade with the intervals in between incidents. At the end of the story, the author discusses solutions and the need to address more than just gun control, mental health, and lengthy investigations into why.
