Download or read book BROKEN DREAMS A Survivor s Story written by Ellen Benton Feinstein and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current rise in anti-Semitism is due in part to the fact that the younger generations know almost nothing about the Holocaust, other than the fact that six million Jews were killed. The heart and the mind do not connect with a number, so this fact has little meaning for the reader. We tend to make an emotional connection with the personal story of someone who suffered during and after the war. That's why it is important for survivors to tell their stories. The number of survivors dwindles daily, giving a sense of urgency to this project. The devastation of war does not end when a peace treaty is signed; the destructive aftermath of war can continue for generations. This book tells the story of one family that was torn apart by World War II. Acting on a promise she made to her sister - who was killed by the Nazis - Eda found and adopted her sister's child, who was hidden during the war by a Polish Catholic family. This set up a life-long love-hate mother-daughter relationship, filled with sacrifice, guilt, and resentment, as described in the heart of the book. The family endured many hardships - including six months in a DP camp and a difficult sea voyage - to escape from Poland to America, only to find that they cannot escape the psychic damage of the war. Their psychic scars are manifested in their interactions with each other as well as with the people they encounter. The final chapter reveals how the daughter, after thinking for more than seventy years that she was an only child, discovers that she has a brother living in California.

Download or read book Giant written by Don Graham and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A larger-than-life narrative of the making of the classic film, marking the rise of America as a superpower, the ascent of Hollywood celebrity, and the flowering of Texas culture as mythology. Featuring James Dean, Rock Hudson, and Elizabeth Taylor, Giant is an epic film of fame and materialism, based around the discovery of oil at Spindletop and the establishment of the King Ranch of south Texas. Isolating his star cast in the wilds of West Texas, director George Stevens brought together a volatile mix of egos, insecurities, sexual proclivities, and talent. Stevens knew he was overwhelmed with Hudson’s promiscuity, Taylor’s high diva-dom, and Dean’s egotistical eccentricity. Yet he coaxed performances out of them that made cinematic history, winning Stevens the Academy Award for Best Director and garnering nine other nominations, including a nomination for Best Actor for James Dean, who died before the film was finished. In this compelling and impeccably researched narrative history of the making of the film, Don Graham chronicles the stories of Stevens, whose trauma in World War II intensified his ambition to make films that would tell the story of America; Edna Ferber, a considerable literary celebrity, who meets her match in the imposing Robert Kleberg, proprietor of the vast King Ranch; and Glenn McCarthy, an American oil tycoon; and Errol Flynn lookalike with a taste for Hollywood. Drawing on archival sources Graham’s Giant is a comprehensive depiction of the film’s production showing readers how reality became fiction and fiction became cinema.

It was not easy to overcome the destructive wounds of my childhood years. I understand why many never recover--it's too painful to face, process, or believe. It's easier to run, avoid, and deny. Sadly, most never escape their false beliefs and inappropriate behavior which continue to undermine their life and relationships.Everyone has a story, and many are more extremely worse than mine. Yet, I believe it was still important to share my story for those still searching for hope and to overcome. There is more for your life, and you must hold strongly to this belief, no matter how long it takes. If you were broken, betrayed, and hurt in the early years of your life or at any other time, you can get better. You're not alone, nor defined by your past. No matter how dismal, disappointing, and destructive the days have been, there will always be more light beyond the darkness.May this book inspire you to stay in the fight and to endure the time needed to heal. For the broken, you deserve a better life, and it can happen! Let time have a way of healing you!-- Dr. Dale

Book excerpt: The evil prosthesis of Captain Hook, the comical speech of Porky Pig, and the bumbling antics of Mr. Magoo are all examples of images in our culture which can become the basis of negative attitudes and subliminal prejudice towards persons with disabilities. These attitudes influence and underlie discriminatory acts, resulting in negative treatment and segregation. A teacher's ability to recognize and counter such images may well determine the success of inclusion and mainstreaming programs in our schools and society. Well-researched and well-written, this book offers practical guidance as grounded in solid research to schools that are wrestling with how to mainstream children with disabilities.
