Download or read book d Ghetto written by Isaiah Trunk and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his comprehensive examination of the Lódz Ghetto, originally published in Yiddish in 1962, historian Isaiah Trunk sought to describe and explain the tragedy that befell the Jews imprisoned in the first major ghetto imposed by the Germans after they invaded Poland in 1939. Lódz had been home to nearly a quarter million Jews. When the Soviet military arrived in January 1945, they found 877 living Jews and the remains of a vast industrial enterprise that had employed masses of enslaved Jewish laborers. Based on an exhaustive study of primary sources in Yiddish, Hebrew, Polish, German, and Russian, Isaiah Trunk, a former resident of Lódz, reconstructs the organization of the ghetto and discusses its provisioning; forced labor; diseases and mortality; crime and deportations; living conditions; political, social, and cultural life; and resistance. Included are translations of the 141 documents that Trunk reproduced in his volume.
Download or read book The Russian Germans Under the Double Eagle and the Soviet Star written by Bernd G. Längin and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called by the Czars, banned by the Soviets: The Russian-Germans. Their great contributions advanced the cause of the Russian Empire for two hundred years. Twenty years later they became driftwood of history. For some two million Russian-Germans the question of autonomy or immigration commenced with the onset of glasnost and perestroika. The author paints a picture of the rise and fall of a German minority under the Double Eagle and the Soviet Star: with an effectively unknown face, a history is recalled before all traces of the German generations on the Volga, in Ukraine, in the Caucasus, Bessarabia and Volhynia are completely obliterated.--(Page [4] of cover).
Download or read book Tumbleweeds Burning Book 2 written by Milt Ost and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-02-28 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life for the Osters, immigrant Germans in Russia, started out well enough. But then persecution began and life turned sour. Their children flee to America and accept the governments offer of free homestead acres on the great prairies of the heartland. The free land, however, extracts a heavy price. As they wrestle their sod house out of the stubborn buffalo grasses, they discover that their new palace on the prairies is only three miles from the Native sons of the warriors who removed the golden tresses of George Armstrong Custer. It leaves their days uneasy, their nights uncertain. But events bring a twist that adds an entirely new dimension. At every turn, Nature confronts them with immense battles, from killing blizzards and raging fires, to biblical plagues of grasshoppers. From years of paralyzing drought where nothing grows, to tumbleweeds and early death. Violent dust storms threaten to choke all of life around them. They deal with witchcraft and murder, and international conflicts that drastically change their lives. Through it all they come together in faith and turn their little spot of earth into the breadbasket of the world.

Download or read book Orderly and Humane written by R. M. Douglas and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning history of 12 million German-speaking civilians in Europe who were driven from their homes after WWII: “a major achievement” (New Republic). Immediately after the Second World War, the victorious Allies authorized the forced relocation of ethnic Germans from their homes across central and southern Europe to Germany. The numbers were almost unimaginable: between 12 and 14 million civilians, most of them women and children. And the losses were horrifying: at least five hundred thousand people, and perhaps many more, died while detained in former concentration camps, locked in trains, or after arriving in Germany malnourished, and homeless. In this authoritative and objective account, historian R.M. Douglas examines an aspect of European history that few have wished to confront, exploring how the forced migrations were conceived, planned, and executed, and how their legacy reverberates throughout central Europe today. The first comprehensive history of this immense manmade catastrophe, Orderly and Humane is an important study of the largest recorded episode of what we now call "ethnic cleansing." It may also be the most significant untold story of the World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Oster’s family has been planters of seeds for generations untold. But Edward feels a call to be a fisher of men. Along with his wife, Denise, their journey takes them from the rolling Midwestern prairies to blue Mediterranean waters, from the walls of San Quentin to the walls of the Kremlin, from fire tower on mountain top to the great pyramids of Giza. They dig through history in ancient Caesarea, and marvel at the monster machines digging North Dakota Black gold. They have people to love, a might Word to proclaim, and a Cross to hold high. Theirs is a journey of discovery and a husbanding of traditions as they remember the tumbleweeds of their youth and plant roses of hope for the future.

Download or read book Harvest of Despair written by Karel C. Berkhoff and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-15 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If I find a Ukrainian who is worthy of sitting at the same table with me, I must have him shot,” declared Nazi commissar Erich Koch. To the Nazi leaders, the Ukrainians were Untermenschen—subhumans. But the rich land was deemed prime territory for Lebensraum expansion. Once the Germans rid the country of Jews, Roma, and Bolsheviks, the Ukrainians would be used to harvest the land for the master race. Karel Berkhoff provides a searing portrait of life in the Third Reich’s largest colony. Under the Nazis, a blend of German nationalism, anti-Semitism, and racist notions about the Slavs produced a reign of terror and genocide. But it is impossible to understand fully Ukraine’s response to this assault without addressing the impact of decades of repressive Soviet rule. Berkhoff shows how a pervasive Soviet mentality worked against solidarity, which helps explain why the vast majority of the population did not resist the Germans. He also challenges standard views of wartime eastern Europe by treating in a more nuanced way issues of collaboration and local anti-Semitism. Berkhoff offers a multifaceted discussion that includes the brutal nature of the Nazi administration; the genocide of the Jews and Roma; the deliberate starving of Kiev; mass deportations within and beyond Ukraine; the role of ethnic Germans; religion and national culture; partisans and the German response; and the desperate struggle to stay alive. Harvest of Despair is a gripping depiction of ordinary people trying to survive extraordinary events.
