Historia
In this posthumous memoir, Joanie Holzer Schirm elegantly recreates her father's youthful voice as he comes of age as a Jew in interwar Prague, escapes from a Nazi-held army unit, practices medicine in China's war-ravaged interior, and settles in the United States to start a family.

Historia
Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching examination of the bloody price of power, The Son is a gripping and utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American west with rare emotional acuity, even as it presents an intimate portrait of one family across two centuries. Eli McCullough is just twelve-years-old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his Texas homestead and brutally murder his mother and sister, taking him as a captive.

An “extraordinary” (New York Review of Books) novel based on the true story of how German war profiteer and factory director Oskar Schindler came to save more Jews from the gas chambers than any other single person during World War II. In this milestone of Holocaust literature, Thomas Keneally, author of The Book of Science and Antiquities and The Daughter of Mars, uses the actual testimony of the Schindlerjuden — Schindler’s Jews — to brilliantly portray the courage and cunning of a good man in the midst of unspeakable evil.

Historia
What would life be like for a Black boy growing up in Nazi Germany? This unprecedented autobiography answers that question with the spellbinding true story of Hans J. Massaquoi’s life in Hamburg during the height of Hitler’s regime. Hans is the son of a Black Liberian diplomat father and a white German mother. His father returns to Africa at the beginning of the war, leaving them behind in poverty without the means to flee. Within this tense atmosphere, increasingly violent Nazi policies and Allied bombing raids make Hans and his mother’s lives a day-to-day survival struggle.

In the 70s and 80s, thousands of Hmong families made the journey from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee camps of Thailand and onward to the United States, all in search of a new place to call home. Decades later, their experiences remain largely unknown. Kao Kalia Yang was driven to tell her own family's story after her grandmother’s death. The Latehomecomer is a tribute to that grandmother, a remarkable woman whose spirit held her family together.

Grave-robbing. What kind of monster would do such a thing? It's true that Leonardo da Vinci did it, Shakespeare wrote about it, and the resurrection men of 19th-century Scotland practically made it an art. But none of this matters to Joey Crouch, a 16-year-old straight-A student living in Chicago with his single mom. For the most part, Joey's life is about playing the trumpet and avoiding the daily humiliations of high school. Everything changes when Joey's mother dies in a tragic accident and he is sent to rural Iowa to live with the father he has never known....

Many terms were bestowed upon the mysterious Fritz Duquesne throughout his colorful life, but perhaps the most fitting ever attributed to him was: "the most dangerous prisoner to have ever lived." But before this Boer warrior-turned-spy reached the heights of infamy that awarded him such acclaim, Fritz Joubert Duquesne lived a life of adventure that many people wouldn’t experience in a hundred lifetimes. From a young age, Fritz harboured a burning resentment toward the British army, stemming from the brutal treatment suffered by his family during the Anglo-Boer wars.

Resumen del Editor
Walter Wolff was the son of a Jewish merchant family that fled their German home when the Nazis came to power and took refuge in Brussels, Belgium. On the eve of the German invasion, in May 1940, the family began its second escape. Their sixteen-month odyssey took them through the chaos of battle in France and the dangers of living clandestinely as Jews in occupied territory, before they finally boarded the notorious freighter SS Navemar in Cadiz, Spain, to be among the last Jewish refugees admitted to the United States before Pearl Harbor.
Within two years of his arrival in the States, Walter was ready to take the fight back to the Nazis as a soldier in the U.S. Army. Trained for the Intelligence Corps at Camp Ritchie, he was sent first to Italy and then to Germany and Austria, where he interrogated POWs for potential prosecution as war criminals at Nuremburg. At the same time, on his travels in Europe he returned to the confiscated properties of his extended family, throwing out the occupiers and reclaiming ownership. Telling the rousing story of a Jewish boy who fled persecution and returned to prosecute the Nazi oppressors, Walter Wolff's daughter Nina has reconstructed these events from family lore and her father’s own cache of more than 700 wartime letters and 200 photographs, which he revealed to her shortly before he died.

The four spies at the center of this story were part of a ragtag unit known as the Arab Section, conceived during World War II by British spies and Jewish militia leaders in Palestine. Intended to gather intelligence and carry out sabotage and assassinations, the unit consisted of Jews who were native to the Arab world and could thus easily assume Arab identities. In 1948, with Israel's existence in the balance during the War of Independence, our spies went undercover in Beirut, where they spent the next two years operating out of a kiosk....

The four spies at the center of this story were part of a ragtag unit known as the Arab Section, conceived during World War II by British spies and Jewish militia leaders in Palestine. Intended to gather intelligence and carry out sabotage and assassinations, the unit consisted of Jews who were native to the Arab world and could thus easily assume Arab identities. In 1948, with Israel's existence in the balance during the War of Independence, our spies went undercover in Beirut, where they spent the next two years operating out of a kiosk....

An “extraordinary” (New York Review of Books) novel based on the true story of how German war profiteer and factory director Oskar Schindler came to save more Jews from the gas chambers than any other single person during World War II. In this milestone of Holocaust literature, Thomas Keneally, author of The Book of Science and Antiquities and The Daughter of Mars, uses the actual testimony of the Schindlerjuden — Schindler’s Jews — to brilliantly portray the courage and cunning of a good man in the midst of unspeakable evil.

What would life be like for a Black boy growing up in Nazi Germany? This unprecedented autobiography answers that question with the spellbinding true story of Hans J. Massaquoi’s life in Hamburg during the height of Hitler’s regime. Hans is the son of a Black Liberian diplomat father and a white German mother. His father returns to Africa at the beginning of the war, leaving them behind in poverty without the means to flee. Within this tense atmosphere, increasingly violent Nazi policies and Allied bombing raids make Hans and his mother’s lives a day-to-day survival struggle.

When Hisham Matar was a 19-year-old university student in England, his father was kidnapped. One of the Qaddafi regime's most prominent opponents in exile, he was held in a secret prison in Libya. Hisham would never see him again. But he never gave up hope that his father might still be alive. "Hope," as he writes, "is cunning and persistent." Twenty-two years later, after the fall of Qaddafi, the prison cells were empty, and there was no sign of Jaballa Matar. Hisham returned with his mother and wife to the homeland he never thought he'd go back to again.

All this is torn apart with the arrival of the Holocaust, beginning a crucible fraught with twists and turns so unpredictable and surprising that they defy any attempt to find reason within them. Through the eyes of 91-year-old Holocaust survivor Martin Small, we learn that these priceless memories that are too painful to remember are also too painful to forget.

Excellent listen, however...
The word “Requisition” was far over used in this story, however this was well worth the listen and I feel honored to have experienced it.

Fascinating
A Jewish boy escapes to America to return to Germany to interview Nazis and send them to trial in Nuremberg
I read several one star reviews and after finishing this book I realized that those people did not get the point...these are letters that a 21 year old wrote to his parents and sister. I thought him to be very intelligent, very clever and very brave long before joining the army. Occasionally the book runs into the weeds but overall I found it to be interesting and have a feeling the rest of Walter's life is also book worthy.

conflicted
I get it.. many in WWll were just out for what they could get out of it, but hearing this over and over with a guy for whom we should feel empathy is conflicting.. painful.. why don't I cheer for his cleverness and abilities, his superiority.? maybe just a young entitled guy of his time.. we certainly have a society filled with them maybe me just a victim of too many incomplete stories of the WWll genre

Great true narrative
The contents of the book were both interesting and entertaining but my biggest compliment is for the authors own reading for the audiobook. No one can narrate a story as well as the person who wrote it and she did a fantastic job of narrating this one.

interesting story
I have read many books from WWII and many of the horrible treatment of Jews. This story gave me a new perspective on a Jew who was able to out maneuver and successfully avoid most of the tragedies during WWII.

LETTERS FROM MY FATHER DURING WW2
I have always loved stories fiction or nonfiction about WW2. However, it took all I had to complete this book. If the author didn't "understand" by the time she finished this book, well? I really don't know what to say. This book seemed to have every minute detail of her father's life over there, and hardly anything about the war. I'm all for recollections, that's why I bought the book, however, I was looking for a piece of history/anything, and sadly learned about how her grandmother was going to be so mad that her father wasn't eating she was going to "have a fit!" I have the Kindle edition
also, and there are pictures in there 😶 that's why I gave it a 4 star review. I do want to say she did a great job narrating! 😁

Boring
What should be a gripping story is rendered mind numbing because of the soporific narration. It’s obvious that the author idolizes the protagonist, her father, but this book does not do him justice. I couldn’t finish it.

Not What I expected
I was eager to read of her father's experiences during WW2. What I wasn't prepared for was a story of of an entitled immigrant who spent the majority if the war avoiding direct conflict and exploiting any opportunity for his advantage. Having 2 uncles born in the US who served selflessly and were wounded in WW2, her father's behavior sickened and angered me. I'm sorry I read this.

I wanted to like him...
I really wanted to like this book and the main character. As much as I tried I could not get past his self promotion and absorption. Perhaps, in life he wasn't but, he comes across as an pompous, egotistical, self important man. He doesn't seem like someone I would have wanted to meet unlike most of the true heros about whom I've read and researched, including those who served in my own family.

Laborious
Unbearably laborious.
The main character is immensely absorbed into his self constructed image. Huge attention given to details that don’t have anything to do with the point of the story.
If you have an unquenchable appetite for anything related to WW2, you may like this book. Otherwise it is quite boring.
