The worst thing that a parent can ever go through is the loss of a
child. The pain, the emptiness, the guilt and the sadness that you
feel, is like no other. Does it get any easier? Yes, it does. Will
your heart ever mend? Yes, it will. But it does take time to heal.
Jenny lost her little girl twenty-eight years ago - a long time.
But had she healed? Not as much as she thought. That was until she
decided to write this book and share her story with the world. "I'm
sharing this heartbreaking time of my life to let other parents
know that it's okay to feel the way they do. I want to let people
know that talking about their feelings, their sorrow, their
worries, their pain - but also their joy, could help them to grieve
and be more at peace with themselves and the world around them -
just like I have!" - Jenny Ford This book supports Child
Bereavement UK by making a donation from every book sold. Please
help Jenny to support this worthy cause.
More than a cookbook, this collection of heirloom recipes conveys
Auschwitz-Birkenau survivors' stories through the mnemonic lens of
cooking and food. Collected and edited during the pandemic, this
book-in the words of Ronald S. Lauder, Chairman of the
Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Foundation-"is a story of hope and
triumph of the human spirit." Over 110 recipes accompanied by
survivors' pre-war recollections and post-liberation memories weave
a unique tapestry of sensory experiences of flavors and aromas from
the old world, accounts of loss and trauma, as well as heartwarming
and poignant tales of new beginnings and healing. All of the
recipes have been tested and retested to make sure they can be
replicated in your kitchen while keeping the original character and
voice of the survivors who contributed to the volume. Delicious
recipes include Blintzes, Kugel, Matzo Ball Soup, Cholent, Goulash,
Kasha Varnishkes, Rugelach, and more. Plus, there is a special
chapter devoted to classic dishes for the Jewish holidays (Latkes,
Charoset, Gefilte Fish, Knishes, Tzimmes, Challah, and others) that
you can use to prepare, host, or bring food to a gathering. All
proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Auschwitz-Birkenau
Memorial Foundation.

'They will live as human beings and die as human beings; and in
this alone lies man's eternal and bitter victory over all the
grandiose and inhuman forces that ever have been or will be.'
Vasily Grossman, Life and Fate Between the 1930s and 1950s,
millions of people were sent to the Gulag in the Soviet Union. My
Father's Letters tells the stories of 16 men - mostly members of
the intelligentsia, and loyal Soviet subjects - who were imprisoned
in the Gulag camps, through the letters they sent back to their
wives and children. Here are letters illustrated by fathers keen to
educate their children in science and natural history; the tragic
missives of a former military man convinced that the terrible
mistake of his arrest will be rectified; the 'letter' stitched on a
bedsheet with a fishbone and smuggled out of a maximum security
camp. My Father's Letters is an immediate source of life in prison
during Stalin's Great Terror. Almost none of the men writing these
letters survived.
Winner of the Jan Michalski Prize 2021 An Ostarbeiter was an
'Eastern Worker', rounded up by Nazi Germany from the captured
territories in Central and Eastern Europe. By the end of the war,
it is estimated that approximately 3 million to 5.5. million
Ostarbeiter were forced to work in guarded work camps, many of them
younger than 16 years old - at which age they would be conscripted
for military service. Ostarbeiter worked 12 hours a day on
starvation on rations; as ethnic Slavs, they were treated with
extraordinary brutality by Nazi guards who considered them
'sub-human' by the standards of the Aryan master race. They were
distinguished by the label 'OST' sewn onto their uniforms. OST is
based on over two hundred personal accounts, hundreds of hours of
interviews, and over 350,000 letters. This important publication
will ensure that the voices of the brutalised and displaced
Ostarbeiter will not be forgotten.

their collaborators during the Second World War. It includes
facsimile documents that have been carefully selected to remind
readers that the horrifying statistics represent not numbers but
people. This illustrated volume describes Jewish life before the
spread of Nazism in Europe and Nazi ideologies. The author
discusses the mass murder, the death camps such as Auschwitz, the
perpetrators, the witnesses, the escapees, the refugee havens and
the 10,000 Kindertransport youngsters who were given safe haven in
Britain. The Holocaust records stories of resistance and acts of
heroism, and tells us of the survivors and those who risked their
lives to save the Jews. Finally, it describes the liberation of the
camps, the resettlement of the Jews and how the events are
remembered now. Published in partnership with the Memorial de la
Shoah, which contains the biggest collection of documents on the
subject in Europe and is dedicated to preserving the memory of the
Holocaust and educating future generations.

Variously understood as literary genius and enfant terrible of
African literature, Dambudzo Marechera's work as novelist, poet,
playwright and essayist is discussed here in relation to other
free-thinking writers. Considered one of Africa's most innovative
and subversive writers, the Zimbabwean novelist, poet, playwright
and essayist Dambudzo Marechera is read today as a significant
voice in contemporary world literature. Marechera wrote ceaselessly
against the status quo, against unqualified ideas, against
expectation. He was an intellectual outsider who found comfort only
in the company of other free-thinking writers - Shelley, Bakhtin,
Apuleius, Fanon, Dostoyevsky, Tutuola. It is this universe of
literary thought that one can see written into the fiction of
Marechera that this collection of essays sets out to interrogate.
In this important and timely contribution to African
literarystudies, Grant Hamilton has gathered together essays of
world-renowned, established, and young academics from Africa,
Europe, Asia and Australia in order to discuss the important
literary and philosophical influences that course through
Marechera's prose, poetry and drama. From classical allusion to the
political philosophy of anarchism, this collection of new research
on Marechera's work makes clear the extraordinary breadth and
quality of thought that Marechera brought to his writing. Grant
Hamilton is Assistant Professor of English Literature at the
Chinese University of Hong Kong. He is the author of On
Representation: Deleuze and Coetzee on the Colonized Subject
(Rodopi, 2011), as well as a number of articles on contemporary
African, postcolonial, and world literatures. He is currently
working on his second book, Deleuze and African Literature.

This introduction to the life of Congressional Medal of Honor
recipient Daniel Fernandez represents the work of four dedicated
students from Daniel Fernandez Intermediate School in Los Lunas,
New Mexico. Their challenge was to research Daniel's early life and
his service in the early years of the Vietnam conflict, and then to
write and illustrate a children's story on Daniel's life that could
be shared with others in the school community. Over the course of
eight months, these fifth and sixth grade students worked weekly
with Mrs. Bouts and Mrs. Kastelic to accomplish this task. The
result of the students' work is this book -- a story of honor,
dedication, and heroism. In addition to Daniel's story, the history
and photos of a student project to establish a memorial center for
Daniel at the school are included.
