Conditions are appalling: every day more people die from disease, starvation, and deportations. Misha does his best to help his family survive, even crawling through the sewers to smuggle food.

Heavily illustrated with sober blue-and-white drawings, this powerful novel dramatically captures the brutal reality of a tragic historical event.

A Key to Dutch History
Many think they know the legends behind tulipmania and the legacy of the Dutch East India Tea Company, but what basic knowledge of Dutch history and culture should be passed on to future generations? A Key to Dutch History and its resulting overview of historical highlights, assembled by a number of specialists in consultation with the Dutch general public, provides a thought-provoking and timely answer. The democratic process behind the volume is reminiscent of the way in which the Netherlands has succeeded for centuries at collective craftsmanship, and says as much about the Netherlands as does the outcome of the opinions voiced.
For Russia with Hitler
The Bolshevik takeover of Russia created an alternative Russia in exile that never laid down its arms. For two decades, expelled White Russians sought ways to retaliate against the Soviet Union and return home. Their irreconcilability was galvanized by a superstructure, the dominant military organization, the Russian All-Military Union (ROVS). Eventually, militant anti-Bolshevism led the exiled Russians into alliance with Nazi Germany, despite the latter’s anti-Slavic stance. For Russia with Hitler tells the story of how thousands of White Russian émigrés joined the German invasion of the Soviet Union as soldiers, translators, and civilian workers. Oleg Beyda investigates and contextuali...

Grenzgänger
1961 gelingt Julian eine dramatische Flucht in den Berliner Westen, kurz nachdem die Mauer geschlossen wurde. Er weiß, dass er dadurch auch seine Familie in Gefahr bringt und seiner Mutter das Herz bricht. Doch er kann nicht anders, denn Heike, seine große Liebe, lebt auf der anderen Seite der Mauer. 1977 gerät seine Nichte Marthe ins Stasi-Gefängnis, weil sie sich einer Gruppe frei denkender Jugendlicher angeschlossen hat. 1989 erlebt deren Cousine Sybille die Befreiung von der DDR-Diktatur und die überwältigenden Ereignisse des Mauerfalls hautnah mit. In diesem Buch verdichtet Aline Sax drei Schicksale einer Berliner Familie zu Chiffren der deutsch-deutschen Geschichte. Das Leben dieser Menschen wäre ganz anders verlaufen, wenn Berlin nicht gewaltsam geteilt worden wäre – durch eine Mauer, die ihnen nicht nur die Freiheit, sondern auch ihr Glück geraubt hat. – Eine "Familien-Saga" der anderen Art.
