Auschwitz Lullaby brings to life the story of Helene Hannemann—a woman who sacrificed everything for family and fought furiously for the children she hoped to save.

On an otherwise ordinary morning in 1943, Helene Hannemann is preparing her five children for the day when the German police arrive at her home. Helene’s worst fears come true when the police, under strict orders from the SS, demand that her children and husband, all of Romani heritage, be taken into custody. Though Helene is German and safe from the forces invading her home, she refuses to leave her family—sealing her fate in a way she never could have imagined.

After a terrifying trek across the continent, Helene and her family arrive at Auschwitz and are thrown into the chaos of the camp. Her husband, Johann, is separated from them, but Helene remains fiercely protective of her children and those around her. When the powers-that-be discover that Helene is not only a German but also a trained nurse, she is forced into service at the camp hospital, which is overseen by the notorious Dr. Mengele himself.

Helene is under no illusions in terms of Dr. Mengele’s intentions, but she agrees to cooperate when he asks her to organize a day care and school for the Romani children in the camp. Though physically and emotionally brutalized by the conditions at Auschwitz, Helene musters the strength to protect the children in her care at any cost. Through sheer force of will, Helene provides a haven for the children of Auschwitz—an act of kindness and selflessness so great that it illuminates the darkest night of human history.

Based on a true story, Mario Escobar’s Auschwitz Lullaby demonstrates the power of sacrifice and the strength of human dignity—even when all hope seems lost.

Five years after the highly publicized trial of Klaus Barbie, the "Butcher of Lyon," law student Valérie Portheret began her doctoral research into the 108 children who disappeared from Vénissieux fifty years earlier, children who somehow managed to escape deportation and certain death in the German concentration camps. She soon discovers that their rescue was no unexplainable miracle. It was the result of a coordinated effort by clergy, civilians, the French Resistance, and members of other humanitarian organizations who risked their lives as part of a committee dedicated to saving those most vulnerable innocents.

Theirs was a heroic act without precedent in Nazi-occupied Europe, made possible due to a loophole in the Nazi agenda to deport all Jewish immigrants from the country: a legally recognized exemption for unaccompanied minors. Therefore, to save their children, the Jewish mothers of Vénissieux were asked to make the ultimate sacrifice of abandoning them forever.

Told in dual timelines, The Forgotten Names is a reimagined account of the true stories of the French men and women who have since been named Righteous Among the Nations, the children they rescued, the stifled cries of shattered mothers, and a law student, whose twenty-five-year journey allowed those children to reclaim their heritage and remember their forgotten names.

Una acusación de herejía
Una serie de muertes cada vez más violentas

Lovaina, comienzos del siglo XIII . En una floreciente comunidad de beguinas -mujeres laicas que decidían vivir juntas apartadas de los hombres, consagradas a sus labores intelectuales y al cuidado de los desamparados- una serie de muertes alteran repentinamente la paz. El primer asesinato parece accidental, pero el segundo ya muestra claras señales de ensañamiento y llama rápidamente la atención de la Inquisición, que lleva tiempo buscando una excusa para cerrar la comunidad. Será entonces cuando la Gran Dama mande llamar a la beguina Martha, considerada la mujer más inteligente de su tiempo, para que se haga cargo de la investigación.

A través de una impecable trama de intriga, Mario Escobar nos sumerge en el fascinante y poco conocido mundo de las beguinas, una asociación de mujeres laicas que llegó a sumar decenas de miles de miembros y a extenderse por toda Europa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A historical thriller that will take your breath away.
A community of women on the fringes of society
An accusation of heresy
A series of increasingly violent deaths

Leuven, Belgium early 13th century. In a flourishing community of Beguines - a sisterhood of lay women not bound by vows who chose to live together apart from men, devoted to their intellectual work and caring for the homeless - a series of deaths suddenly disrupt the peace. The first murder seems to have been accidental, but the second one shows clear signs of cruelty and quickly draws the attention of the Inquisition, which has been looking for an excuse to close down their community for some time. It will be then when the Great Lady sends for the Beguine Martha, considered the most intelligent woman of her time, to take charge of the investigation.

Through an impeccably intriguing plot, Mario Escobar plunges us into the fascinating and little-known world of the Beguines, a sisterhood of secular women that reached tens of thousands of members and spread throughout Europe.

First Jesuit. First Latin American. And a new pope who chose as his first act a simple request: please pray for me.

The recent resignation of Pope Benedict XVI took the world by surprise and for good reason. More than 600 years had passed since a pope last left his post.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, is a man of prayer, a man of action, and a humble man who has always promoted others over himself. In fact, it was Bergoglio who bowed out of the running in the papal election of 2005 to facilitate the rise of Benedict XVI.

However, the new pope faces a Catholic Church in crisis--a church that has lost the media pull of John Paul II and is still hounded by pedophile scandals and the filtration of documents from former papal administrations. His first year may not be an easy one, but neither this man nor the church itself has ever shied away from the challenges thrust upon them.

Pope Francis is austere and simple but has vast theological training. He is a man of his time but one who also travels by subway and bus just like any other citizen. Tirelessly fighting poverty and marginalization, he is a beacon of hope for the poor, persecuted sectors of the church. Has a Catholic spring finally arrived after a very long winter?

"Francis "is the complete biography of a humble man who has suddenly become one of the most powerful and influential men on the planet.
