An Irregular Girlhood In Hitler's Shadow: A Memoir for $11.18

Cheap An Irregular Girlhood In Hitler's Shadow: A Memoir Discount Review Shop



This surprising memoir has all the ingredients for a Merchant Ivory multi-episode TV production. A sensitive and acutely aware child, the daughter of an autocratic Nazi ambassador who secretly opposes the Hitler regime, vividly remembers her earliest experiences growing up in China and Vladovostsic in lucid prose which often crosses the border into poetry. The venure proceeds to America via horrific sea voyages, to an idyllic interlude in Kentucky, reminiscent of "National Velvet" with just a soupcon of (gasp) depraved sex. Another sea voyage to Cuba then back to New York,a now thoroughly rebellious egalitarian young lady, tries to defy the upper-class pretensions of her aristocratic father, who has been (double gasp) carrying on an extended love affair with his wife's sister. Her family, having no income, other than what her loving, long-suffering mother earns doing domestic work, struggles at the edge of poverty throughout these tumultuous years. Despite this, the author's father still has the connections to arrange for her and to overpower her vigorous objections, to appear as Miss Germany in a coming out society ball. Then, once again, against her will she is shipped over to Germany to live with a venerable noble family while completing her education. More reluctant appearances at glittering Austrian society balls; being courted (unsuccessfully) by the scion of an aristocratic family: thence back to America, and not yet twenty years of age! (Whew!)

This synopsis seems almost too fantastic to be believed. However the story as it unfolds in compelling, lucid detail, has the unmistabable aura of authenticity. I look forward to (if there is any literary justice in this world), Volume Two.

All Rivers Run to the Sea: Memoirs for $4.50

Cheap All Rivers Run to the Sea: Memoirs Discount Review Shop



This spectacular memoir of Elie Wiesel, the great author and voice of conscience, begins with his boyhood in the small Transylvanian village of Sighet.

A pious child, with a great thirst for Jewish knowledge, a student of Torah and Talmud, and fascinated with the Kabbalah. Elie is swept into the Nazi ghetto and then death cams where he loses his parents and his beautiful little blond sister Tzipora, all of whom perished in the Nazi furnaces.

He writes in memory of his losses:

"If only I could recapture my father's wisdom, my little sister's innocent grace. If only I could recapture the rage of the resistance fighter, the suffering of the mystic dreamer, the solitude of the orphan in a sealed cattle car, the death of each and every one of them. If only I could step out of myself and merge with them".

Wiesel writes of the prophecy told to his mother by the Wizhnitz Rabbi that her son would become a gadol b'Israel (a great man in Israel) but that she would not live to see it.

Wiesel records some of the horrors he witnessed in the death camps such as live children being thrown into furnaces by the Nazis, and laments the inaction by the Allies to do anything about the extermination they knew was taking place of the Jews- saving Jews was not a priority for the Allies either.

He mentions that most of the Jews who collaborated with the Nazis were intellectuals- not surprising in light of the fact hat most Jews who have thrown themselves into the campaign of hate against their fellow Jews in Israel.

He writes about the liberation of the death camps by the Allies after the war, and how one of the youngest child survivors of Buchenwald was eight year old Israel Meir Lau, later to be the Chief Ashkenazic Rabbi of Israel. In his section of his travels around the world as a young man during the early 1950s he writes of his great compassion at the plight of poverty-stricken children in India.

Wiesel records his life in a youth home for Jewish refugees in Paris and the fate of displaced Jews after World War II, his life as a journalist for Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronot for whom he covered the Eichmann trial, civil rights struggles, the Six Day War, the 1968 Student insurrections in France, and other world events.

He has always been greatly interested in philosophy and parapsychology and writes of his discussions with such great leaders as Golda Meir and David
Ben-Gurion, as well as the greatest thinkers of the day. He writes of his great love for Israel and it's people for which he has been attacked by the hate-filled bigots of the International Left. He also took a strong stand for persecuted Soviet Jewry during the 1960s and 1970s. Elie Wiesel also writes of his great compassion for humanity as a whole, such as his pain at seeing the suffering of destitute children during his travels in India. But unlike certain Jews of the Left, he does not see a contradiction between this and his great love of Israel and the Jewish people- Ahavat Israel.

He writes with great compassion, passion, anger, sadness and hope.
In a plea for the plight of his own people today, especially the youth and children of Israel today targeted by terror and forces of genocide (such as Hamas, Hezbollah and the Ahmadinejad regime- as well as all who are sympathetic to these anti-Jewish elements) he penned an open letter to President Bush stating: "Please remember that the maps on Arafat's uniform and in Palestinian children's textbooks show a Palestine encompassing not only all of the West Bank but all of Israel, while Palestinian leaders loudly proclaim that 'Palestine extends from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, from Rosh Hanikra (in the North) to Rafah (in Gaza). Please remember Danielle Shefi, a little girl in Israel. Danielle was five. When the murderers came, she hid under her bed. Palestinian gunmen found and killed her anyway. Think of all the other victims of terror in the Holy Land. With rare exceptions, the targets were young people, children and families. Please remember that Israel--having lost too many sons and daughters, mothers and fathers--desperately wants peace. It has learned to trust its enemies' threats more than the empty promises of 'neutral' governments".
Elie Wiesel is a true voice of truth and conscience.

Cheap My Brother, My Keeper Discount Review Shop



What a powerful book ! I have never been one to sit and read for hours at a time. My initial thoughts were to browse through the book, ponder my friendship with Blase and think about the friend that I knew so well. What a surprise. I started reading and by early the next day I had read the entire book. I wasn't able to put the book down. It was very inspirational. It was, for me, a very powerful lesson in the art of living one's life to the fullest, accepting the challenges with which we are faced and learning how to deal with those challenges.
This is a must read book for everyone, especially those faced with difficulties. I assure you, it will forever change your outlook on life.
My gratitude goes out to Phil for putting into words, what many of us were unable to say about a very wonderful man.

Help Is On Its Way: A Memoir About Growing Up Sensitive for $13.63

Cheap Help Is On Its Way: A Memoir About Growing Up Sensitive Discount Review Shop



I was told that this was an interesting read and it certainly was. Having a son and a very close friend who I consider to be very sensitive souls, I wanted to read more about this subject from someone who grew up with similar sensitivity and see the common points. Help is on Its Way was fun to read and not quite as 'disturbing' as I had thought it might be based on information I had from others. Perhaps that was because, even though the subject matters was intense and serious, Jen injected some quite humorous tidbits that provided some comedic relief and they were indeed quite funny. I would say that my only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that I kind of expected, based on the title, there to be some sort of 'guideline' for helping the super sensitive child. And, perhaps, upon reading it again, I could draw some 'guidelines' from the book as I did read it over a period of about 10 days. All in all though, it provided a very real and accurate description of what it's like to have a nervous system that reacts more intensely to external stimuli than most others and that this is a very real phenomenon. Thanks Jen for sharing your story with the rest of us!
