Download or read book Reign of Terror written by Valdemar Langlet and published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoirs of a man who saved thousands from the Nazi death camps. Although not as well-known as Raoul Wallenberg, Valdemar Langlet was the savior of thousands of Jews in Budapest in the last two years of World War II. Entirely without the permission or the financial support of the Swedish Red Cross, he issued so-called “Letters of Protection,” which were passport-like documents with official-looking stamps that frequently saved Hungarian Jews from deportation to the death camps. Then chaos broke out in the streets and the Germans put their Arrow Cross allies in power. With the approaching Red Army threatening to turn the city into a battleground, Langlet risked his life to shelter Jews and other refugees in safe houses throughout Budapest. A gifted linguist, Langlet was able to deal directly with Hungarian officials, who were often themselves eager to have the protection of the Swedish Red Cross emblem on their own houses as the war drew closer to the capital. Later, he communicated with the Soviet commanders who took control after fierce fighting had destroyed much of Budapest. This is a unique and fascinating memoir of a man who saved thousands of lives during one of the most terrible episodes in world history without official authority or support from his own country.

Download or read book The Memoirs of Catherine the Great written by Catherine the Great and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empress Catherine II brought Europe to Russia, and Russia to Europe, during her long and eventful reign (1762—96). She fostered the culture of the Enlightenment and greatly expanded the immense empire created by Czar Ivan the Terrible, shifting the balance of power in Europe eastward. Famous for her will to power and for her dozen lovers, Catherine was also a prolific and gifted writer. Fluent in French, Russian, and German, Catherine published political theory, journalism, comedies, operas, and history, while writing thousands of letters as she corresponded with Voltaire and other public figures. The Memoirs of Catherine the Great provides an unparalleled window into eighteenth-century Russia and the mind of an absolute ruler. With insight, humor, and candor, Catherine presents her eyewitness account of history, from her whirlwind entry into the Russian court in 1744 at age fourteen as the intended bride of Empress Elizabeth I’s nephew, the eccentric drunkard and future Peter III, to her unhappy marriage; from her two children, several miscarriages, and her and Peter’s numerous affairs to the political maneuvering that enabled Catherine to seize the throne from him in 1762. Catherine’s eye for telling details makes for compelling reading as she describes the dramatic fall and rise of her political fortunes. This definitive new translation from the French is scrupulously faithful to her words and is the first for which translators have consulted original manuscripts written in Catherine’s own hand. It is an indispensable work for anyone interested in Catherine the Great, Russian history, or the eighteenth century.
Download or read book Memoirs of a Grandmother written by Pauline Wengeroff and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pauline Wengeroff, the only nineteenth-century Russian Jewish woman to publish a memoir, sets out to illuminate the "cultural history of the Jews of Russia" in the period of Jewish "enlightenment," when traditional culture began to disintegrate and Jews became modern. Wengeroff, a gifted writer and astute social observer, paints a rich portrait of both traditional and modernizing Jewish societies in an extraordinary way, focusing on women and the family and offering a gendered account (and indictment) of assimilation. In Volume 1 of Memoirs of a Grandmother, Wengeroff depicts traditional Jewish society, including the religious culture of women, during the reign of Tsar Nicholas I, who wished "his" Jews to be acculturated to modern Russian life.

Book excerpt: So many women struggle with finding their inner queen because they've experienced a past life that made them believe that they don't qualify for royal treatment. They've allowed heartache, disappointment, setbacks, abuse, rejection, depression, and abandonment to make them feel as though they are not worthy of living a life filled with divine blessings.In 1 Peter 2:9, the Bible tells us that we're a part of a royal priesthood, chosen by God. This means we have access to abundance, love, joy, and prosperity. Unfortunately, some women have forgotten that they're queens because they've lost their crown somewhere along their journey.Qualified to Reign: Memoirs of a Resilient Queen is a collection of powerful stories written to show women how to intentionally build a relationship with God, pick up their crowns and boldly pursue their purpose. After reading this inspirational guide, women will learn how to: + Allow God to heal their spirits and shift their mindset+ Forgive themselves, and others who tainted their crowns+ Position themselves in God's Kingdom+ Confidently show up in the world as the queen they were born to beEight women share how their determination, faith in God, and resilience pushed them from their rock bottom pits into their God-assigned purpose. Filled with life-changing narratives, and faith-based strategies, readers can expect to learn how they too can bounce back from defeat, become resilient, and lead a life that puts a smile on God's face
