Download or read book Mea Culpa written by Elma Chopra and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The acceptable sins are subtle in the sense that they deceive us into thinking they are not so bad, or not thinking of them as sins or even worse, not thinking about them at all!" Many people walk in the way of the Lord and do their best to follow His word, but sometimes people make mistakes. It is human nature, for both those who have and have not found God. Mea Culpa, author Elma Chopra's latest book, discusses the acceptable or subtle sins that many devout Christians commit in everyday life, at times without realizing it. Elma Chopra, a born-again Catholic, examines the subtle ways in which humans can sin such as being judgmental or prideful. Even though those who have found God try to follow His word and Jesus' example, there are small moments where these sins can occur... Being prideful of your good works done for the community... Being thankless and joyless in what God has commanded you to do... Sins such as these can slip by the wayside, never to be addressed. Using examples from her own life, stories of others, and scripture, Elma shows Christians how to relate to what they are experiencing. Rather than to refuse to admit that they sin, she encourages Christians to reconcile themselves to the fact of sin and work to recognize and deal with it. After showing an understanding of how sins can slip into our lives without being noticed, the final chapters offer steps toward dealing with sins and healing to assist readers. Here, prayer, testimony, and experience contribute to the reader's journey towards restoration. If believers can acknowledge and seek forgiveness for their subtle sins, they will be following God's command. With this book, Elma hopes to bring herself and others closer to the Lord.

Download or read book Final Report written by International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania was established in October 2003 on the initiative of Ion Iliescu, the President of Romania; this final report was presented to him in November 2004. The aim of the Commission was to research the facts and determine the truth about the Holocaust in Romania during World War II. The report examines various aspects of the state-organized participation of Romania in the mass murder of Jews in Romania and in Romanian-controlled territories, as well as in northern Transylvania where the genocide was perpetrated by the Nazis and their Hungarian allies. Inter alia, it discusses antisemitism and the evolution of Romanian anti-Jewish policies from the late 1930s to 1944, the impact of the Soviet annexation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina on antisemitism in Romania, anti-Jewish incidents in 1940 and the pogroms in Bucharest and Iaşi, mass murders of Jews in the recaptured provinces and deportation to Transnistria in 1941, mass murder of Jews in Odessa and in Transnistrian camps, the "Romanianization" of the economy and the expropriation of Romanian Jews, the reaction of the Jewish community in Romania to anti-Jewish policies, and the personal responsibility of Ion Antonescu for the genocide. Relates, also, to war crimes trials held in Romania, and to the trivialization of the Holocaust and its "selective" and outright denial in postwar Romania.
Download or read book Four Russian Serf Narratives written by John MacKay and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although millions of Russians lived as serfs until the middle of the nineteenth century, little is known about their lives. Identifying and documenting the conditions of Russian serfs has proven difficult because the Russian state discouraged literacy among the serfs and censored public expressions of dissent. To date scholars have identified only twenty known Russian serf narratives. Four Russian Serf Narratives contains four of these accounts and is the first translated collection of autobiographies by serfs. Scholar and translator John MacKay brings to light for an English-language audience a diverse sampling of Russian serf narratives, ranging from an autobiographical poem to stories of adventure and escape. “Autobiography” (1785) recounts a highly educated serf’s attempt to escape to Europe, where he hoped to study architecture. The long testimonial poem “News About Russia” (ca. 1849) laments the conditions under which the author and his fellow serfs lived. In “The Story of My Life and Wanderings” (1881) a serf tradesman tells of his attempt to simultaneously escape serfdom and captivity from Chechen mountaineers. The fragmentary “Notes of a Serf Woman” (1911) testifies to the harshness of peasant life with extraordinary acuity and descriptive power. These accounts offer readers a glimpse, from the point of view of the serfs themselves, into the realities of one of the largest systems of unfree labor in history. The volume also allows comparison with slave narratives produced in the United States and elsewhere, adding an important dimension to knowledge of the institution of slavery and the experience of enslavement in modern times.

Download or read book Memorial Book of Sochaczew written by G Wejszman and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sochaczew, located in central Poland is a town about 44 miles due west of Warsaw, whose Jewish presence dates back to the 15th century. The first reported Jew in town was in 1463 - a doctor. Life was not easy for the Jews due to an alleged "blood libel" in the mid- 16th century, and the rabbi was punished with a death penalty, along with several other inhabitants. In the 19th century the Jewish community grew. Sochaczew became a great Hasidic center, first led by Tzaddik Abraham Bornsztajn. In the later part of the 19th century reconstruction of the synagogue began after the previous one was burned down. Being on the road between Berlin and Warsaw many of the Jews fled during World War I. There were several town "personalities" such as Chaikel the Wagon Driver that were written about in addition the many rabbis. There were workers' movements and professional unions as well as a Bund and Communist Circle. Memories of some of the survivors are related in the book. The synagogue was destroyed by the Nazis when they entered the town in September 1939, and the town was destroyed during World War ll. Many of the Jews ended up in the Warsaw ghetto and some ended up in the Skarzyko Work Camp. 4,000 Jews lived in the town at the start of the war. Few survived. Today, there are no Jews in the town.
