Book excerpt: They hid wherever they could for as long as it took the Allies to win the war -- Jewish children, frightened, alone, often separated from their families. For months, even years, they faced the constant danger of discovery, fabricating new identities at a young age, sacrificing their childhoods to save their lives. These secret survivors have suppressed these painful memories for decades. Now, in The Hidden Children, twenty-three adult survivors share their moving wartime experiences -- some for the first time. There is Rosa, who hid in an impoverished one-room farmhouse with three others, sleeping on a clay pallet behind a stove; Renee, who posed as a Catholic and was kept in a convent by nuns who knew her secret; and Richard, who lived in a closet with his family for thirteen months. Their personal stories of belief and determination give a voice, at last, to the forgotten. Inspiring and life-affirming, The Hidden Children is an unparalleled document of witness, discovery, and the miracle of human courage.
Download or read book Hidden Child written by Isaac Millman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful story of survival, loss, and hope Isaac was seven when the Germans invaded France and his life changed forever. First his father was taken away, and then, two years later, Isaac and his mother were arrested. Hoping to save Isaac's life, his mother bribed a guard to take him to safety at a nearby hospital, where he and many other children pretended to be sick, with help from the doctors and nurses. But this proved a temporary haven. As Isaac was shuttled from city to countryside, experiencing the kindness of strangers, and sometimes their cruelty, he had to shed his Jewish identity to become Jean Devolder. But he never forgot who he really was, and he held on to the hope that after the war he would be reunited with his parents. After more than fifty years of keeping his story to himself, Isaac Millman has broken his silence to tell it in spare prose, vivid composite paintings, and family photos that survived the war.

Download or read book Remember Us written by The Hungarian Hidden Children and published by . This book was released on 2009-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you simply must read one local government management book this year, then this is the one for you. Bauer, the autobiographical author, after eighteen months service, just got fired as county manager for no good reason from a county in which he had previously managed for six years. Bauer chronicles the ensuing five months of his life: his thoughts, prayers, actions, successes, failures. For students, practitioners, and local taxpayers worldwide, the book is replete with improvement suggestions for more than thirty service areas, ranging from agendas to water and sewer. You will discover recommendations like tax churches in order to lower local property taxes, pay people to vote to increase turnout, and have professional juries in order to decrease administrative costs as well as reduce the unemployment rate. It is all based on Bauer's personally odd and oddly personal thirty years of local government experience. Things not taught in school; you will find them here. Things you were taught in school and want to forget; you will find them here. Thoughout, Bauer contemplates and answers the age old question: does God have a place in local government and more particularly, county management? Hint: God never had to balance a budget nor recommend raising taxes, but He did have to reprimand an employee or two. At the end of the day, you enjoy unraveling life's knots and accepting God's rescue boats; you are seeking a down-to-earth, tongue-in-cheek, efficient/effective, suprisingly uplifting textbook; you wouldn't be reading this promo if you weren't half-interested; it is now up to you to welcome and appreciate the ironies of other things.
