Inseparable
See the Holocaust through the Eyes of Children. Stefan and Marion Hess's happy childhood was shattered in 1943. Torn from their home in Amsterdam, the six-year-old twins and their parents were deported to a place their mother called "this dying hell"—the infamous concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen. Inseparable is the vivid account of one family's struggle to survive the Holocaust. In the camp, the children ran from SS soldiers, making it a game to see who could get closest to the guard towers before being warned they would be shot. Stefan and Marion witnessed their father beaten beyond recognition, dodged strafing warplanes, and somehow survived in a place where "the children were looking...

And just as vividly, Ruth Elias recounts the aftermath of her imprisonment, and the difficult path to a new life in a new land: Israel, where new challenges, new obstacles awaited.

The Ethics of Auschwitz: Oskar Groening & Edith Stein
The notion of "Ethics" is considered by many to be at its most complicated at present. But as renowned astrologer Brad Kronen points out in his latest book "The Ethics of Auschwitz: Oskar Groening & Edith Stein," contemporary society need only look to the not so distant past of the Second World War to see just how far the Western World has come in establishing new societal standards of human civility.Kronen looks at the very different lives of two people who both have gained global notoriety as of late for their time spent at the largest of the Nazi death centers during the war, the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. One who arrived there as a Nazi prison guard named Oskar Groening and t...
A Forgotten Hero
The true story of Folke Bernadotte’s heroic rescue of 30,000 prisoners during WWII In one of the most amazing rescues of WWII, the Swedish head of the Red Cross rescued more than 30,000 people from concentration camps in the last three months of the war. Folke Bernadotte did so by negotiating with the enemy — shaking hands with Heinrich Himmler, the head of the Gestapo. Time was of the essence, as Hitler had ordered the destruction of all camps and everyone in them. A Forgotten Hero chronicles Folke’s life and extraordinary journey, from his family history and early years to saving thousands of lives during WWII and his untimely assassination in 1948. A straightforward and compelling narrative, A Forgotten Hero sheds light on this important and heroic historical figure.
