Prague, 1940-1942. The Nazi-occupied city is locked in a reign of
terror under Reinhard Heydrich. The Jewish community experience
increasing levels of persecution, as rumours start to swirl of
deportation and an unknown, but widely feared, fate. Amidst the
chaos and devastation, Marie Bader, a widow age 56, has found love
again with a widower, her cousin Ernst Loewy. Ernst has fled to
Greece and the two correspond in a series of deeply heartfelt
letters which provide a unique perspective on this period of
heightening tension and anguish for the Jewish community. The
letters paint a vivid, moving and often dramatic picture of Jewish
life in occupied Prague, the way Nazi persecution affected Marie,
her increasingly strained family relationships, as well as the
effect on the wider Jewish community whilst Heydrich, one of the
key architects and executioners of the Holocaust and Reich
Protector in Bohemia and Moravia, established the Theresienstadt
ghetto and began to organize the deportation of Jews. Through this
deeply personal and moving account, the realities of Jewish life in
Heydrich's Prague are dramatically revealed.

Imagine and Create a New World offers hope to women who are
considering leaving their abusers and invites them to imagine and
create a world without violence. In a world where change might seem
impossible, Bader presents new ways for responding to domestic
abuse. The reader is encouraged to reflect upon the past, the
present, and the future to explore possibilities for change and to
create a framework for these possibilities to become reality. Bader
looks closely at biblical passages that are frequently used to
justify domestic abuse and suggests alternate interpretations.
Reconstructing excerpts from the Bible, Bader insightfully puts
forth the keys to a healthy relationship: equality, respect, and
love. Imagine and Create a New World will serve as an invaluable
source of emotional and spiritual support for both individuals and
recovery groups. Above all, this book will empower women to create
a new world full of promise, strength, and self-development.
