Book excerpt: Earl Crawford Jr. was born and raised in Aledo, Illinois. As a small boy, he liked to dress up as the famous bank robber Jesse James, so his teacher nicknamed him "Jesse." Jesse was nineteen years old when he shipped out to Le Havre, France. From there, his unit was sent to Munchengladbach, Germany. They traveled in small boxcars that were called "40 and 8s," because they held forty men or eight horses. Like most of the American soldiers, Jesse had lived a happy and free life in the United States. He was unprepared for all the suffering and destruction he would witness. As the Allies won battles throughout Europe, the soldiers came upon the prison camps that we now call the Nazi concentration camps. They had heard rumors of horrific treatment of the Jews, but they didn't know if the prisoners they were seeing were criminals or innocent people. Jesse's unit was sent to an open field near Sinzig, Germany, where they were told they would guard prisoners who would be brought in. When Jesse first saw the "walking skeletons" coming off the train, he felt sick. Jesse was so sickened and distraught he couldn't work with the prisoners the first day. The second day, he dreaded what he had to do and took a shot of whiskey to bolster his nerve. The people from the train were so starved that he didn't think they could possibly survive. The American soldiers knew only that the prisoners were Jews from a nearby Nazi work camp. Emaciated and sick, some were too weak to live, but some did survive. The soldiers built shelters and fed the people. There was little food, but certainly more than the newly freed prisoners had been getting. As time went on, more food was available and the prisoners who survived grew stronger. The American soldiers began the process of sorting out who the prisoners were and where they were from. Many didn't even want to think about going home, knowing their families had died. Others did want to return to their old hometowns to see if there were any survivors. Eventually the survivors of the concentration camps were sent to larger Displaced Persons (DP) camps, where they would continue to get good medical care, grow stronger, and make decisions about where to go from there. Jesse had learned to speak some German, something that not all the soldiers made the effort to do. This gave him an advantage as he was able to communicate. He became friends with many of the Jewish survivors and others as well. Toward the end of his service, he was stationed in Austria, where he befriended a family whose children always stayed inside. When he asked the parents why, they told him that the children didn't have shoes because there was no leather. Jesse took an old leather strap that he had tucked away and went to a cobbler's shop and had shoes made. It made the family very happy, and Jesse felt good about doing something that helped people gain back a bit of their normal lives. Although he was told not to bring home pictures of the prisoners, he felt that it was important to have proof of what he had seen. Jesse stuck pictures of the survivors in one of his combat boots when it was time to come home. One prisoner he knew came to the camp so thin and weak that nobody thought he could possibly survive. A photographer friend of Jessie's took a picture of this man, and Jesse kept a copy of it. He saw the same photo published years later, along with a recent picture of the man-he had survived, after all. Jesse has passed away now but he didn't want anyone to believe those who deny that the Holocaust actually happened. He was an eyewitness to the suffering of the concentration camp prisoners and the terrible human costs the Nazis inflicted."

Download or read book The Haters written by Jesse Andrews and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Jesse Andrews, author of the New York Times bestselling Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and screenwriter of the Sundance award–winning motion picture of the same name, comes a groundbreaking young adult novel about music, love, friendship, and freedom as three young musicians follow a quest to escape the law long enough to play the amazing show they hope (but also doubt) they have in them. For Wes and his best friend, Corey, jazz camp turns out to be lame. It’s pretty much all dudes talking in Jazz Voice. But then they jam with Ash, a charismatic girl with an unusual sound, and the three just click. It’s three and a half hours of pure musical magic, and Ash makes a decision: They need to hit the road. Because the road, not summer camp, is where bands get good. Before Wes and Corey know it, they’re in Ash’s SUV heading south, and The Haters Summer of Hate Tour has begun. In his second novel, Andrews again brings his brilliant and distinctive voice to YA, in the perfect book for music lovers, fans of The Commitments (author Roddy Doyle raves "The Haters is terrific. It is shocking and funny, unsettling and charming."), and High Fidelity, or anyone who has ever loved—and hated—a song or a band. This witty, funny coming-of-age novel is contemporary fiction at its best.
