Download or read book Flowers in the Gutter written by K. R. Gaddy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of the Edelweiss Pirates, working-class teenagers who fought the Nazis by whatever means they could. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean were classic outsiders: their clothes were different, their music was rebellious, and they weren’t afraid to fight. But they were also Germans living under Hitler, and any nonconformity could get them arrested or worse. As children in 1933, they saw their world change. Their earliest memories were of the Nazi rise to power and of their parents fighting Brownshirts in the streets, being sent to prison, or just disappearing. As Hitler’s grip tightened, these three found themselves trapped in a nation whose government contradicted everything they believed in. And by the time they were teenagers, the Nazis expected them to be part of the war machine. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean and hundreds like them said no. They grew bolder, painting anti-Nazi graffiti, distributing anti-war leaflets, and helping those persecuted by the Nazis. Their actions were always dangerous. The Gestapo pursued and arrested hundreds of Edelweiss Pirates. In World War II’s desperate final year, some Pirates joined in sabotage and armed resistance, risking the Third Reich’s ultimate punishment. This is their story.

Download or read book Code Name Edelweiss written by Stephanie Landsem and published by Tyndale House Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What I am looking for—what I desperately need, Mrs. Weiss—is a spy.” Adolf Hitler is still a distant rumble on the horizon, but a Jewish spymaster and his courageous spies uncover a storm of Nazi terror in their own backyard. In the summer of 1933, a man named Adolf Hitler is the new and powerful anti-Semitic chancellor of Germany. But in Los Angeles, no-nonsense secretary Liesl Weiss has concerns much closer to home. The Great Depression is tightening its grip and Liesl is the sole supporter of two children, an opinionated mother, and a troubled brother. Leon Lewis is a Jewish lawyer who has watched Adolf Hitler’s rise to power—and the increase in anti-Semitism in America—with growing alarm. He believes Nazi agents are working to seize control of Hollywood, the greatest propaganda machine the world has ever known. The trouble is, authorities scoff at his dire warnings. When Liesl loses her job at MGM, her only choice is to work with Leon Lewis and the mysterious Agent Thirteen to spy on her friends and neighbors in her German American community. What Leon Lewis and his spies find is more chilling—and more dangerous—than any of them suspected. Code Name Edelweiss is based on a true story, unknown until recent years: How a lone Jewish lawyer and a handful of amateur spies discovered and foiled Adolf Hitler’s plan to take over Hollywood.

Download or read book EDELWEISS CASTLE written by Gerhard Oberressl and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015-05-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EDELWEISS CASTLE - Death of an Interviewer - is a murder mystery that introduces a collection of original men and women, among whom is a ruthless murderer - or even two? - who is found out in the end by Etienne Friendly with the help of the young princess and the castle administrator's son. The 500 years old castle on top of the famous blue rock in Goodland is both the starting point and the destination of this sophisticated novel, which features many facets of human behavior and people of several countries and continents. All that talk of the town about the old Duke of Goodland and EDELWEISS CASTLE was a taboo topic within the walls of the castle. But one day the nobleman, who was an advocate of sustainable development, gave an interview which triggered very strange events. Were the sudden death of the interviewer and a murder from years back intertwined? Etienne Friendly, the founder of Home Investigatory Services in London delves into secrets and quagmire and by and by everything appears in altogether different light. –––––––––––––----–––––––––– Excerpt from chapter 14, The Day of the Truth: Gloria, Elisabeth and Heidi stood at the bar. They were in good spirits and enjoyed the opportunity to be together. “Look at Monsieur Fermat,” said Elisabeth, “his hair and his mustaches appear to be freshly tinted.” “Now that you mention it,” said Gloria, “sometimes I think he wears a wig; and he reminds me of Etienne Friendly in London. You know the man from Edelweiss who migrated to Canada when he was still young. When my father and I met him last summer, he wore a wig with a Chinaman’s pigtail; like you see them in old movies.” On hearing this, Heidi burst out laughing loudly and uninhibitedly; she got carried away and simply could not calm herself. This was so contagious, that Gloria and Elisabeth couldn’t help joining in; and they got louder and louder. In a moment Jacquy de Jong, Walter Nadler Jr. and Peter Forster, who were standing a little apart, got also infected and laughed without knowing the reason for Heidi’s outburst. Soon they were also screaming with laughter and eventually all twenty-two people present in the Golden Egg – the two waitresses included – exploded with laughter. The whole Golden Egg rang with laughter. You would have thought that the laughing would never end, when the door opened and Dr. Rupert Aybesford and Miss Louise Chevrolet entered the Golden Egg. All at once, the hilarious circle lapsed into silence. Everybody looked at them open-mouthed. But not so Fermat; he had been waiting for them to come. He got up and welcomed them to the mystified circle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human ashes in a tea caddy, a baby delivered in a snowstorm, worm pie, a priest with a passion for airbrushing. How much do we know about our friends, our families, or even ourselves? This debut collection exposes the strangeness of everyday lives, embracing the light and the dark sides of human nature. Uncomfortably honest and direct, these stories reveal the fears and passions of the mind through their characters, places and situations, an exploration of the boundaries between fantasy and reality. These are people we all know. A rich potpourri of character and plot in this intriguing (and sometimes dark) collection of tales from a talented storyteller. Angela Locke. Author of Dreams of the Blue Poppy (Robert Hale) etc Steph Newham has empathy with all her characters so presents her stories as rounded pieces for her readers’ enjoyment. Where she takes on characters from history her research is careful and enriches her stories, which range across many subjects. Vivien Jones. Poet, author. Co-editor Southlight Magazine Short but not sweet, Steph Newham writes vignettes that blaze out, illuminated briefly by the photo-flash of her pen. And when the light blinks out, you are left wondering as the scene presents itself again like the complexity of good wine, each time leaving a different taste. Tony Walker. Author of A Christmas Ghost, etc and The Classic Ghost Story podcast. These stories are atmospheric, the characters well-drawn. In ‘Unwise Words’, I felt the young mother’s regret and shivered in fear as the bonfire was lit. The sights and smell in the four Spanish stories took me to that country and I laughed out loud at the manuring of the roses in The Sand Walk. Something here for everyone. Gwen Kirkwood. Author of sixteen Scottish novels and novellas (Joffee Books)

Book excerpt: Imagine one of history's most inhumane figures rationalizing the murder of over 6 million Jews in a captivating conversation between Adolf Hitler and the dazzling heroine, Katja Wagner. "It comes from the bible and proclaims the Jews as the Chosen People. I merely borrowed their Hebrew superiority and substituted my own Aryan version." The Fuhrer hesitated and was overcome by a devilish grin; "The racism I preach is a parody of Jewish racism, a hungry imitation. Aside from that though, hatred for the Jew is real and was there well before me...you said it yourself."The Fuhrer leaned forward as he became more excited, "I'm not imposing anti-Semitism on Germany or even the world, but expressing, carrying out the wishes of the rest of the world, with its willing collaboration. The world wants the Jew erased...for it was the Jew who invented conscience and left man forever tortured by expectations he cannot meet. What are my camps compared to that? Ask a man more than he is, hold before his tired eyes an image of altruism, of compassion, of self-denial, which only the saint or madman can touch, and you stretch him on the rack, till his soul bursts. What can be crueler than the Jew's addiction to the ideal?"The story starts with the current day hero and main character, Mike Kennedy, fighting to find a cure for his daughter's rare form of Leukemia. His quest takes him to a remote area of Bolivia where he encounters the shock of a lifetime and his eventual romantic interest, Brigitte Meijer. A twist of current day German political and economic tension paired with Swiss banking scandal uncovers a sleeping Nazi plot to place the rightful heir of the Reich at the head of the current day German state, the son of Katja Wagner and Adolf Hitler.
