Book 13: HUNTED John Martinez had seen firsthand how dangerous to human life guns were when he was kidnapped and forced to live in captivity with guns held over his head. Working with the cops to assist with the rescue of others behind captivity, he hated guns. Now a free man and forced to flee his sister's home when danger follows his younger brother home, John did not expect their temporary shelter—the home of his sister's friend, Liberty—to be that of a gun lover. Trying to keep his brother safe, will he lose his heart to a woman who loves guns just as much as she loves him? Famous actress Liberty Stone was one woman nobody messed with. Rich, classy, beautiful, and confident, she was armed and knew how to protect herself when the need arose, thanks to multiple assaults she'd survived—assaults that turned her into a cold and unfeeling person, to protect her heart. When her friend, SSPD Officer Angel Martinez, requested temporary shelter at her Fortitude Homes Estate for her brothers amid a police case, Liberty readily obliged. What Liberty hadn't expected was a chance run-in with John, falling in love with a gun-hater with a tender heart, and an unplanned kiss leading John right into her locked-up heart. Together, will they find healing from pain and discover that God gives second chances and connects people in His time, in His way, and to fulfill His purpose—despite long-held prejudices? Book 14: COURAGEOUS SSPD detective Ladi Zoe was sure the dangerous mission to uncover the identity of the Hunter would be the end of her. Living under the constant fear of being outed, while performing duties that made serious criminal behavior seem elementary, she survived purely on the hope that her mission will be successful—and she will find out who the Hunter was. However, when she is assigned to a deadly mission which threatened the life of the man she'd secretly fallen in love with—Hughes Martinez, Officer Angel Martinez's baby brother whom she'd rescued—she is faced with the choice to save his life yet again and risk her own in addition to being unmasked. Will she choose to stay undercover and let him die to get the Hunter or will she accept for her cover to be blown, risk her own life all to save the life of the man she loved—who didn't know she loved him? Book 15: DEFENDED Hunted by dangerous elements, and barely escaping with her life, undercover police officer Ladi Zoe vanishes without a trace. With her whereabouts untraceable, she left behind a trail of evidence for dismantling a dangerous network of criminals, and the love of her life brokenhearted. But, her heroic actions only seemed to have stirred the hornets nest. Now, the bad guys want the SSPD destroyed.

Download or read book The New Life written by Jeremy Varon and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish Displaced Persons (DPs) survived in concentration and death camps, in hiding, and as exiles in the Soviet interior. After liberation in the land of their persecutors, some also attended university to fulfill dreams of becoming doctors, engineers, and professionals. In The New Life: Jewish Students of Postwar Germany, Jeremy Varon tells the improbable story of the nearly eight hundred young Jews, mostly from Poland and orphaned by the Holocaust, who studied in universities in the American Zone of Occupied Germany. Drawing on interviews he conducted with the Jewish alumni in the United States and Israel and the records of their Student Union, Varon reconstructs how the students built a sense of purpose and a positive vision of the future even as the wounds of the past persisted. Varon explores the keys to students’ renewal, including education itself, the bond they enjoyed with one another as a substitute family, and their efforts both to reconnect with old passions and to revive a near-vanquished European Jewish intelligentsia. The New Life also explores the relationship between Jews and Germans in occupied Germany. Varon shows how mutual suspicion and resentment dominated interactions between the groups and explores the subtle ways anti-Semitism expressed itself just after the war. Moments of empathy also emerge, in which Germans began to reckon with the Nazi past. Finally, The New Life documents conflicts among Jews as they struggled to chart a collective future, while nationalists, both from Palestine and among DPs, insisted that Zionism needed “pioneers, not scholars,” and tried to force the students to quit their studies. Rigorously researched and passionately written, The New Life speaks to scholars, students, and general readers with interest in the Holocaust, Jewish and German history, the study of trauma, and the experiences of refugees displaced by war and genocide. With liberation nearly seventy years in the past, it is also among the very last studies based on living contact with Holocaust survivors.
Download or read book After the Fact written by Brad Prager and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Fact studies the terrain of Holocaust documentaries subsequent to the turn of the twenty-first century. Until now most studies have centered primarily on canonical films such as Shoah and Night and Fog, but over the course of the last ten years filmmaking practices have altered dramatically. Changing techniques, diminishing communities of survivors, and the public's response to familiar, even iconic imagery, have all challenged filmmakers to radically revise and newly envision how they depict the Holocaust. Innovative styles have emerged, including groundbreaking techniques of incorporating archival footage, survivor testimony, and reenactment. Carrying wider implications for the fields of Film Studies, Jewish Studies, and Visual Studies, this book closely analyzes ten contemporary and internationally produced films, most of which have hardly been touched upon in the critical literature or elsewhere.
Download or read book After 9 11 written by Helaina Hovitz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You are a herald for your generation....Thank you for using your voice to help us make sense of that dark day, and forge a new beginning.”—Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a letter to Helaina Hovitz Helaina Hovitz was twelve years old and in middle school just blocks away when the World Trade Center was attacked. Her memoir encapsulates the journey of a girl growing up with PTSD after living through the events firsthand. After 9/11 chronicles its effects on a young girl at the outset of adolescence, following her as she spirals into addiction and rebellion, through loss, chaos, and confusion. The events and experiences that are now common knowledge to everyone were a very real part of Helaina’s life and are still as vivid in her memory today. The sickening thud of falling bodies hitting cars, and the crumbling towers, her universe engulfed literally in a cloud, was all so much for a young girl to experience. Hundreds were stranded in the neighborhood, including Helaina, without phones or electricity or anyone to help. For fear of subsequent attack, not to mention the toxic substances in the air, few went outside. In the wake of 9/11, fear and despair took over her life. It would take Helaina more than a decade to overcome the PTSD—and subsequent alcohol addiction—that went misdiagnosed and mistreated for so many years. In many ways, After 9/11 is the story of a generation growing up in the aftermath of America’s darkest day—and for one young woman, it is the story of a survivor who, after witnessing the end, got to make a new beginning.
Download or read book Between the Psyche and the Polis written by Anne Whitehead and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000. Incorporating studies of Freudian and Marxist approaches to questions of history and memory, this timely collection illuminates how history is being refigured in contemporary literary, cultural and theoretical studies. The contributors to this volume invite the reader to attend to the forms - linguistic, visual, monumental - by which a connection with, or separation from, the past takes place. It is current thinking about memory's relationship to history, and the ongoing critical reassessment of historicism, that preoccupies this collection. The volume explores the ways in which current thinking about the past operates within a dialogic space and can be located in relation to multiple perspectives. Thus cultural memory can be seen not just as a recent development within the field of cultural studies, but as constructing a between-space which also draws in aspects of psychoanalysis. Similarly, trauma theory may usefully be conceptualized as operating in a rich and complex dynamic between deconstruction and the work of Freud. Temporality, memory and the past are attended to here in terms of the dislocations of narrative, of resistances to linear genealogies, to aid the reader in making unanticipated connections between theories and cultures, and between the demands of the psyche and the polis.

Book excerpt: From award-winning author Deborah Heiligman comes Torpedoed, a true account of the attack and sinking of the passenger ship SS City of Benares, which was evacuating children from England during WWII. Amid the constant rain of German bombs and the escalating violence of World War II, British parents by the thousands chose to send their children out of the country: the wealthy, independently; the poor, through a government relocation program called CORB. In September 1940, passenger liner SS City of Benares set sail for Canada with one hundred children on board. When the war ships escorting the Benares departed, a German submarine torpedoed what became known as the Children's Ship. Out of tragedy, ordinary people became heroes. This is their story. This title has Common Core connections.
Download or read book A Mortuary of Books written by and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing story of the efforts of scholars and activists to rescue Jewish cultural treasures after the Holocaust In March 1946 the American Military Government for Germany established the Offenbach Archival Depot near Frankfurt to store, identify, and restore the huge quantities of Nazi-looted books, archival material, and ritual objects that Army members had found hidden in German caches. These items bore testimony to the cultural genocide that accompanied the Nazis’ systematic acts of mass murder. The depot built a short-lived lieu de memoire—a “mortuary of books,” as the later renowned historian Lucy Dawidowicz called it—with over three million books of Jewish origin coming from nineteen different European countries awaiting restitution. A Mortuary of Books tells the miraculous story of the many Jewish organizations and individuals who, after the war, sought to recover this looted cultural property and return the millions of treasured objects to their rightful owners. Some of the most outstanding Jewish intellectuals of the twentieth century, including Dawidowicz, Hannah Arendt, Salo W. Baron, and Gershom Scholem, were involved in this herculean effort. This led to the creation of Jewish Cultural Reconstruction Inc., an international body that acted as the Jewish trustee for heirless property in the American Zone and transferred hundreds of thousands of objects from the Depot to the new centers of Jewish life after the Holocaust. The commitment of these individuals to the restitution of cultural property revealed the importance of cultural objects as symbols of the enduring legacy of those who could not be saved. It also fostered Jewish culture and scholarly life in the postwar world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin. Jim Morrison. And recently, Amy Winehouse. Each died at 27 as a result of drug abuse, despair, or both.

Up-and-coming rocker Dayna Clay struggles to make it through the final night of a wildly successful concert tour. Tormented by an ever-deepening depression, the 27-year-old hands her guitar to a fan and beats a hasty retreat. She flies home to Chicago and attempts suicide €¦ but nature seemingly steps in to spare her. Still unsure whether her life is worth living, she forfeits her career and disappears, setting out incognito for parts unknown. Dayna winds up, quite by accident, in the South Dakota Badlands, whose inhabitants€”human and otherwise€”challenge and change her in striking ways. She develops a profound affinity for the jagged, dramatic, semi-stable Badlands formations, which she takes strength from climbing. She forms a bond with the bighorn sheep she finds living on this seemingly unlivable land. And she befriends Drake, a €œwise-acre€ but wise rancher and retired stuntman who himself has struggled with depression, and his mischievous daughter, Kayla€”with whom Dayna begins to fall in love. All the while, Dayna€TMs mysterious disappearance and continuing absence only serve to boost public interest in her€”and to fuel her now-skyrocketing record sales. Laboring to choose between her musical ambitions and the new life she has made, Dayna finds herself stranded, alone, in a far-flung corner of the wilderness she has come to know and love. Saved from suicide earlier by nature, she now may perish by the very same hand €¦.
