Liebe Mutti is a true story of Jerzy Pindera, a Polish Catholic reserve officer in Sachsenhausen, one of the first concentration camps built to hold political prisoners, located just outside Berlin. This memoir is an insightful observation of the complexities of concentration camp life and society. Pindera, who arrived at the camp condemned to being worked to death, gradually rose to a position of prominence in the camp structure. During his five years of incarceration at Sachsenhausen, Pindera wrote powerfully about his experiences in a series of "fragments," each of which recalled specific aspects and events of his internment. Using those "fragments," as well as the transcription of extensive interviews, and letters he wrote to his mother while imprisoned, editor Lynne Taylor has woven together a compelling story of life in Sachsenhausen.

For Those Moments When You Aren't Sure How To Move Forward But Something Needs To Be Done... LEARN HOW TO DEEPEN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS BY ELEVATING YOUR CONVERSATIONS Connecting with people is part of life; learn how to leverage your connections in a way that deepens your relationships. Are You Ready for a Change? I am making the assumption that you are currently involved in some form of relationship. Usually assumptions are dangerous but this one is spot on. No one functions outside of relationships, so mastering communication and connection is practical as well as beneficial to everyone. If you think you function completely independent of others then you couldn't be more wrong. Even inanimate objects function in relationship to people as they serve a unique purpose or function. Relationships are a complicated and necessary component of life. Some have said we can only be assured of two things: "death and taxes," but I would challenge that thinking and say... the only thing we can be assured of in this world is death, and relationships. The relationships we create are either unhealthy and dysfunctional or hopeful and nurturing. The most amazing part of our lives as human beings is the gift of free will that allows us to choose (as far as it concerns us) how we function in relationships and community. That being said, the world is also full of difficult people, complicated circumstances and communication breakdowns. There is a flip side to the best thing in life being free will - if we have free will then so do all the other people in the world. Herein lies the problem We may think it would be nice to be able to puppeteer all the people in our lives to do as we say and cooperate with our plans. The major setback to this thinking comes in the form of genuine connection. We may wish at times for easier relationships but that pesky 'ol free will keeps getting in the way. Without the ability to choose our path, relationships and responses, we would also be left without the choice to experience genuine love. Love is the root of what we each strive for, and love without choice is counterfeit. In an effort to release free will to do good in the world and to change the way we connect with those we love, but struggle to understand, this work was born. This book is a practical guide designed to bring about heart-level changes for the life long process of being a positive force in our relationships. Filled with much more than just "tips," this book strives to create systematic methods to alter your perspective, which in turn alters your mind, heart and eventually your behavior. No book can help you avoid difficult people, or complications, but it will help you deal with the struggles you face with integrity. Don't waste valuable time struggling with your relationships when you could be enjoying them. Life is too short to remain stuck in patterns of communication that destroy instead of build up. Read this book, engage with the insights and then effectively put feet to what you learn Start living a life based on values and integrity that shines through to all of your connections. Be the light and the change that you have been waiting for in your relationships. Engage your free will for the good and start now

In the anarchy and devastation of the immediate post-World War II period in Germany millions of non-German refugees poured out of German factories and off German farms, and out of the concentration camp system. They needed food, shelter, medical care. Caring for these refugees was the daunting task of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Hundreds of quickly recruited UNRRA workers streamed into Germany in the months after the war ended, driven to help the millions in need, fired by zeal to rebuild the continent and the world. Susan Pettiss was one of the first American women to enter Munich, scant days after the city fell. Her story is the story of UNRRA and the displaced persons she worked with for three years.

From the authors of the bestselling Angel Wisdom comes a book for everyone who wants to transform fear into courage and despair into hope. This delightful book shows us how to learn from our experiences and live every day with the grace and joy of the angels. With a year's worth of daily meditations, Angel Courage offers fresh wisdom for confronting life's difficulties, both large and small-from stress at work to quarrels and letdowns, guilt and regrets, grief and grudges. Each day's reading features a thought-provoking quote, ideas for reflection, exercises, and an inspiring angel blessing.

The authors encourage us to learn to love ourselves no matter what mistakes we've made. "May you always make mistakes," they advise, "just not the same ones." The wisdom of the angels shows us how to laugh at ourselves, live in the moment, put our energy into productive activities, and follow the timing of our hearts by using our own angel courage to greet each day with authenticity and love.

Among the hundreds of thousands of displaced persons in Germany at the end of World War II, approximately 40,000 were unaccompanied children. These children, of every age and nationality, were without parents or legal guardians and many were without clear identities. This situation posed serious practical, legal, ethical, and political problems for the agencies responsible for their care. In the Children's Best Interests, by Lynne Taylor, is the first work to delve deeply into the records of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and the International Refugee Organization (IRO) and reveal the heated battles that erupted amongst the various entities (military, governments, and NGOs) responsible for their care and disposition. The bitter debates focused on such issues as whether a child could be adopted, what to do with illegitimate and abandoned children, and who could assume the role of guardian. The inconclusive nationality of these children meant they became pawns in the battle between East and West during the Cold War. Taylor's exploration and insight into the debates around national identity and the privilege of citizenship challenges our understanding of nationality in the postwar period.
