Book Farewell Marienburg

Download or read book Farewell Marienburg written by Claus Neumann and published by . This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in Marienburg, Germany, in November 1929 was traumatic. The stock market and banks of Germany collapsed, the Berlin soup kitchens could not keep up with the hungry, and unemployment skyrocketed. In this town of 30,000, during this defining moment in history, Claus Neumann was born. Neumann captures his fascinating story in a candid memoir that first details his idyllic childhood and then charts his progress as he grows from enthusiastic student, patriot, and member of Hitler Youth, to a disillusioned teen defending his homeland. He inevitably becomes a refugee who flees the Russians from two separate homes before reaching freedom in the West. Along the way, he smuggles, works as a cook's apprentice simply to eat, and serves time as a prisoner in solitary confinement in one of the most notorious political prisons in East Germany. Neumann eventually becomes cynical about systems and politics but remains filled with optimism about life, traveling to many countries and finding an unusual way to immigrate to the United States. Farewell Marienburg provides not only an interesting perspective into a boy's youthful and naïve admiration of Hitler, but also a poignant glimpse into a young man's courage and determination as he struggles to save both himself and his family.

Book Fear and Loathing in the North

Download or read book Fear and Loathing in the North written by Cordelia Heß and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the scarcity of sources regarding actual Jewish and Muslim communities and settlements, there has until now been little work on either the perception of or encounters with Muslims and Jews in medieval Scandinavia and the Baltic Region. The volume provides the reader with the possibility to appreciate and understand the complexity of Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations in the medieval North. The contributions cover topics such as cultural and economic exchange between Christians and members of other religions; evidence of actual Jews and Muslims in the Baltic Rim; images and stereotypes of the Other. The volume thus presents a previously neglected field of research that will help nuance the overall picture of interreligious relations in medieval Europe.

Book Friedrich Gilly

    Book Details:
  • Author : Friedrich Gilly
  • Publisher : Getty Publications
  • Release : 1994-09-13
  • ISBN : 0892362804
  • Pages : 242 pages

Download or read book Friedrich Gilly written by Friedrich Gilly and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1994-09-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Friedrich Gilly died in 1800 at age twenty-eight, his architectural career had spanned less than a decade and construction of his major designs was incomplete. Nevertheless, his ideas so strongly influenced Berlin architecture of the next century that he is now widely regarded as the founder of Berlin's distinct architectural tradition. By uniting Rationalist and Neoclassicist principles, his designs achieve an artistic expression that is at once visually dramatic and formally pure. Today, his theories are known primarily through the work of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, his student who became one of Berlin's primary modern architects. In addition to presenting five of Gilly's most influential essays, this volume contains previously unpublished archival records that clarify the intellectual context in which Gilly developed his thoughts on architecture. A catalog of Gilly’s personal library is especially illuminating.

Book St Val  ry and Its Aftermath

Download or read book St Val ry and Its Aftermath written by Stewart Mitchell and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This WWII military history chronicles the bravery and daring of Britain’s Gordon Highlanders in Nazi occupied France. During the German offensive of May, 1940, the 51st (Highland) Division—which included the 1st and 5th Battalions Gordon Highlanders—became separated from the British Expeditionary Force. After a heroic stand at St Valery-en-Caux, the Division surrendered when fog thwarted efforts to evacuate them. Within days, scores of Gordons had escaped and were on the run through Nazi-occupied France. Many reached Britain after harrowing travails, including recapture and imprisonment often in atrocious conditions in France, Spain, or North Africa. Those imprisoned in Eastern Europe were forced to work in coal and salt mines, quarries, factories and farms. Some died through unsafe conditions or the brutality of their captors. Others escaped, on occasion fighting with distinction alongside Resistance forces. Many had to endure the brutal 1945 winter march away from the advancing Allies before their eventual liberation. This superbly researched book vividly recounts their many inspiring stories.
