The Soul of a Lion
Dietrich von Hildebrand, widely regarded as one of the great Catholic philosophers of the 20th century, is well-known for his numerous books, but, until this present work, not much has been known of his remarkable and inspiring life. Written by his wife, Alice, also a highly respected Catholic thinker, this is a fascinating, moving and, at times, gripping account of a truly great man of the Church who suffered much for the faith. Based on a very long "letter" Dietrich wrote to his wife late in his life, it tells his story from his glorious youth with a unique intellectual and cultural formation, his coversion to Catholisism, his great passion for truth and beauty, his extensive writing on Christian philosophy and theology, and his steadfast, determined opposition to Nazism that made him a marked man who miraculously escaped execution. A powerful biography of a relentless fighter against injustice, a devoted son of the Church, a man who had the "soul of a lion". Illustrated.
Hitler's Slaves
During World War II at least 13.5 million people were employed as forced labourers in Germany and across the territories occupied by the German Reich. Most came from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldavia, the Baltic countries, France, Poland and Italy. Among them were 8.4 million civilians working for private companies and public agencies in industry, administration and agriculture. In addition, there were 4.6 million prisoners of war and 1.7 million concentration camp prisoners who were either subjected to forced labour in concentration or similar camps or were ‘rented out’ or sold by the SS. While there are numerous publications on forced labour in National Socialist Germany during World War II, this publication combines a historical account of events with the biographies and memories of former forced labourers from twenty-seven countries, offering a comparative international perspective.
Memoirs of a Happy Failure
The Courage and Perseverance of One of Our Greatest Minds Alice von Hildebrand is a household name to millions. But little is known of the story of her life, notably the thirty-seven years she spent at Hunter College in New York City.

By showing her students how truth fulfills the deepest longings of the human heart, she helped to liberate countless students from the oppressive relativism of the day, enabling many of them to find their way to God. Now, for the ...
Inszenierte Einigkeit
Obwohl uber die DDR schon viel geforscht worden ist, haben HistorikerInnen bislang kaum uber Stadte gearbeitet. Besonders auf Festen und Feiern wurde Herrschaft reprasentiert und Stadtoffentlichkeit aktiviert. Staat und Partei brauchten die Stadte als sichtbares Zeichen der von ihnen proklamierten Leistungsfahigkeit des sozialistischen Systems. Sondermittel sollten die stadtische Infrastruktur und die Versorgungslage verbessern. Nach auaen hin dienten die groaen Ereignisse dazu, Einigkeit zwischen Staat und Stadt zu inszenieren und vielfaltige Identifikationsangebote zu schaffen. In Reden, Schriften, Filmen, Photos, Zeitungsberichten und Souvenirs wurden die Feiern festgehalten und positive ...

The Privilege of Being a Woman
Women historically have been denigrated as lower than men or viewed as privileged. Dr. Alice von Hildebrand characterizes the difference between such views as based on whether man's vision is secularistic or steeped in the supernatural. She shows that feminism's attempts to gain equality with men by imitation of men is unnatural, foolish, destructive, and self-defeating. The Blessed Mother's role in the Incarnation points to the true privilege of being a woman. Both virginity and maternity meet in Mary who exhibits the feminine gifts of purity, receptivity to God's word, and life-giving nurturance at their highest. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Alice von Hildebrand received a master's degree and doctorat...
