Download or read book I Chose Life written by Samuel Gruber and published by Authors Choice Press. This book was released on 2001-01-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II Samuel (Mietek) Gruber was one of the Jews in Europe who actively fought against the Nazi overlords. Serving in the Polish army at the outbreak of the war, he was taken prisoner by the Germans and interned near the Lublin ghetto. With a handful of other Jewish prisoners of war, he organized an escape and took it to the woods, where he helped organize a unit of Jewish partisan fighters. The former town and city dwellers candidly admit that, initially, life as fugitives in the woods held terrors they had not known even in the Nazi prison camp. The screams of small animals in the night, the unearthly shriek that turns out to be only the scraping of a loose branch against a tree trunk, leave them frankly quaking with fear. But within months Gruber and his ragtag band of fellow prisoners, some of them barely past adolescence, mature into a well-disciplined unit of freedom fighters. They engage in daring exploits, including sabotage operations against German military transports and clashes with units of the regular German army. Living with the death every day gives the partisans the courage to attempt the impossible.

Download or read book I Chose Life written by Mildred C. Nitzberg and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Saul Nitzberg, a survivor of Auschwitz, passed away in February 2000. Because his wife had spent many hours interviewing Dr. Nitzberg, the authors chose to tell his story by using Saul's own words, interlaced with narrative. The numerous papers, letters and documents his wife had preserved over the years supplemented the vivid portrait Saul had painted of his life. Imbedded in a loving family, Saul's life in Poland was tranquil in the early 1930's. However, the insidious onset of World War II destroyed the peace of his country, his community, and the lives of his family. While the ominous sequence of events was most frightening, neither the family nor the surrounding community could possibly envision the terror that was about to befall them. Saul described those events that ultimately led to the occupation of his city by the Russians and then the Germans. He described his four year journey from the Pruzhany ghetto to Auschwitz, and finally to freedom. The events of Saul's life following liberation were both fulfilling and remarkably compelling, but peace continued to elude him. His only brother, Lova, had been sucked up into the vortex of the war and had disappeared behind the Iron Curtain. The United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in the Cold War and there was no way to communicate with Soviet citizens. SOME DAY THE IRON CURTAIN WILL LIFT, AND I WILL GO TO RUSSIA TO SEARCH FOR MY BROTHER. Saul repeated these words to his wife over and over. Separated from his brother for thirty-three years, he was not sure that Lova was still alive. Yet, Saul's yearning to attempt to find him never waned. When the Iron Curtain lifted, he traveled to Russia in order to satisfy that need. His experiences surrounding the trip were shrouded in intrigue. It was a heart-rending venture, filled with moments of uncertainty, angst, and the nagging fear that it was quite possible that his quest would end in failure. Still another need kept Saul from achieving closure. Pressed to face the ghosts of his past, he returned to Auschwitz. He wanted to recite the Kaddish prayer for his parents at that vast gravesite that had claimed their lives. The once unthinkable, dark journey back to Auschwitz stirred searing memories and emotions as he bid his parents a poignant farewell. He hoped that at long last he might find peace and say with conviction, "I chose life."
Download or read book Football Fandom Sexualities and Activism written by Peter Millward and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to examine the growing movement of organised networks of LGBT+ football supporters, exploring activists' biographies and the meanings they ascribe to participation in identity politics-centred social movements. The book draws upon in-depth original research into the Pride in Football LGBT+ football supporters' network in the UK, alongside comparative material from other countries. It is also the first book to apply a cultural relational sociological framework to the study of football fans and supporters’ groups, marking an important theoretical step forward that opens up new perspectives in the sociology of sport, the sociology of collective action and social movements, and the sociologies of genders and sexualities in the twenty-first century world. As the struggle for cultural rights and recognition of LGBT+ communities continues, with football fandom providing an important site for understanding of these issues given its historically-embedded hegemonic masculine culture, and in the aftermath of gay male football player Jake Daniels’ ‘coming out’ in May 2022, the book offers timely insights into new social movements, the consumption of sport and the experiences of people from a diversity of sexualities. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, football, fandom, gender, sexualities, social theory or social movements.

Book excerpt: When writing about fifty years of any human life, one can only be humbled by the period of history through which so many of us survive. Life takes so many turns that the cultural changes, unfelt from day-to-day, feel like seismic shifts when surmised and stockpiled. Any man’s life is one that changes so much every year. You can go from looking in the mirror at someone you wish to grow old when you’re a teenager to wishing you were younger in a heartbeat. Some of the memories that you’ll read may strike you as unbelievable – they do to me recalling them. But no matter how thrilling, traumatic or incredible the events of my life have been, I have not “embellished or exaggerated” in any of the telling of these events. With my co-writer, I have constructed my memories which stands up to the time elapsed, even if sometimes my life has felt too fantastic to be real. In short, every word of what you’re about to read is the truth…whether I wish it was or not.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology written by David Tod and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 1023 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied sport psychology knowledge has advanced rapidly in recent years. Traditionally, literature focused primarily on a narrow range of topics associated with performance enhancement, giving rise to a model of helping labelled psychological skills training. Although the psychological skills training model has considerable value, the literature has broadened to address a greater diversity of athlete and team issues; a greater range of methods; and a greater recognition of the knowledge, skills, and attributes practitioners need to help clients. The first edition of the Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology was seminal work, bringing together the full range of knowledge and skills sport psychology practitioners needed to help clients. The second edition continues that vision and draws on the full range of related disciplines, including sport and exercise psychology, clinical psychology, and counselling psychology. This comprehensive range of topics provides professionals what they need to build strong relationships with athletes and enhance clients’ performance, mental health, well-being, happiness, and meaning in life. This new volume is the guide to the theory and practice of applied sport psychology. Adopting a holistic definition of the role of the sport psychology practitioner, it introduces the most effective tools and skills that sport psychology practitioners need to help their clients and explains how effective counselling, assessment, and therapeutic models add necessary dimensions to professional practice. This book is divided into seven thematic sections, addressing: Counselling Assessment Theoretical and therapeutic models Psychosocial issues presenting in individual athletes Psychosocial issues presenting in teams Inclusion in sport psychology Mental skills interventions
