Reviews and Comments regarding Sunrays at Midnight Abby Spilka, Director of Communication, Museum of Jewish Heritage: "Norbert Friedman... hearing about his life will change yours. What happened to Norbert was unspeakable, which is precisely why he speaks to others about it. ......His is a story of survival, triumph, and hope." Rabbi, Jack Riemer, D.D., Author, Lecturer and Editor: "The author is very much aware that all the memories and all the works of prose and poetry that have ever been written cannot ever begin to adequately describe the pain of even one victim´s experience. And yet, tell the story he must-for the sake of his children who urged him to put down in writing the story of his life and for the sake of the generation who needs to know what happened and what meaning, if any, it has..." David Marwell, Ph. D., Director, Museum of Jewish Heritage- A Living Memorial to the Holocaust: "Throughout this historical and personal account, the author provides insight towards the many relationships that sustained him, from the most intimate to the most intricate, from familial love to his powerful faith in humankind and God."

Download or read book Sunlight at Midnight written by Bruce Lincoln and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Russians, St. Petersburg has embodied power, heroism, and fortitude. It has encompassed all the things that the Russians are and that they hope to become. Opulence and artistic brilliance blended with images of suffering on a monumental scale make up the historic persona of the late W. Bruce Lincoln's lavish "biography" of this mysterious, complex city. Climate and comfort were not what Tsar Peter the Great had in mind when, in the spring of 1703, he decided to build a new capital in the muddy marshes of the Neva River delta. Located 500 miles below the Arctic Circle, this area, with its foul weather, bad water, and sodden soil, was so unattractive that only a handful of Finnish fisherman had ever settled there. Bathed in sunlight at midnight in the summer, it brooded in darkness at noon in the winter, and its canals froze solid at least five months out of every year. Yet to the Tsar, the place he named Sankt Pieter Burkh had the makings of a "paradise." His vision was soon borne out: though St. Petersburg was closer to London, Paris, and Vienna than to Russia's far-off eastern lands, it quickly became the political, cultural, and economic center of an empire that stretched across more than a dozen time zones and over three continents. In this book, revolutionaries and laborers brush shoulders with tsars, and builders, soldiers, and statesmen share pride of place with poets. For only the entire historical experience of this magnificent and mysterious city can reveal the wealth of human and natural forces that shaped the modern history of it and the nation it represents.

Charlie Reed is a former all-star athlete at a crossroads in his life - and the boy Katie has secretly admired from afar for years.
