Описание: A lyrical literary memoir that explores the exhilarating, discomforting, and ultimately healing process of Polish-Jewish reconciliation taking place in Poland today

"I'd grown up with the phrase 'Never forget' imprinted on my psyche. Its corollary was more elusive. Was it possible to remember--at least to recall--a world that existed before the calamity?"

In the winter of 2000, Louise Steinman set out to attend an international Bearing Witness Retreat at Auschwitz-Birkenau at the invitation of her Zen rabbi, who felt the Poles had gotten a "bum rap." A bum rap? Her own mother could not bear to utter the word "Poland," a country, Steinman was taught, that allowed and perhaps abetted the genocide that decimated Europe's Jewish population, including members of her own extended family.

As Steinman learns more about her lost ancestors, though, she finds that the history of Polish-Jewish relations is far more complex. Although German-occupied Poland was the site of horrific Jewish persecution, Poland was for centuries the epicenter of European Jewish life. After the war, Polish-Jewish relations soured. For Poles under Communism, it was taboo to examine or discuss the country's Jewish past. Among Jews in the Diaspora, there was little acknowledgment of the Poles' immense suffering during its dual occupation.

Steinman's research leads her to her grandparents' town of Radomsko, whose eighteen thousand Jews were deported or shot during the Nazi occupation. As she delves deeper into the town's and her family's history, Steinman discovers a prewar past where a lively community of Jews and Catholics lived shoulder to shoulder, where a Polish Catholic painted the blue ceiling of the Radomsko synagogue, and a Jewish tinsmith roofed the spires of the Catholic church. She also uncovers untold stories of Poles who rescued their Jewish neighbors in Radomsko and helps bring these heroes to the light of day.

Returning time and again to Poland over the course of a decade, Steinman finds Poles who are seeking the truth about the past, however painful, and creating their own rituals to teach their towns about the history of their lost Jewish neighbors. This lyrical memoir chronicles her immersion in the exhilarating, discomforting, sometimes surreal, and ultimately healing process of Polish-Jewish reconciliation.

Описание: A rich telling of the archetypal search. In this fractured familial story, Esther Prat wraps her fingers with her diamond necklace and reflects on the secrets, lies, and pain that haunt her life, and makes her choice. Born on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, as an infant she is unceremoniously taken to Montreal, Quebec, to spend the first ten years of her life brought up in an affluent Jewish family. At the age of ten, upon the death of her daddy, she is without explanation not allowed to attend his funeral and is taken on a train destined for New Brunswick, back to the poverty-stricken environment of her family of origin. The culture shock results in emotional and spiritual torment, undermining her self-esteem and sense of identity. On into life, marriage, children, divorce, a devastating flood, geographical moves, and a battle with pharmaceutical drugs, she struggles to maintain equilibrium and balance of past and present.

Описание: The All-Time Themed Baseball Teams, Volume 1 is a compilation of Major League all-star teams based on various themes. Theme examples include: U.S. Presidents, consisting of the best Major League players who happen to have a name that matches the last name of a U.S. President; Colors, representing players whose names contain one of the Crayola crayon colors. Other themes include: Food: Frank(s) and Bergers (Burgers), Bacon and Curry, Salmon and Roe and Ham and Fowl(er), these are just a few of my favorite food related player names that might be found on the All Food Team. Occupations: A (Max) Butcher, a (Dusty) Baker but no John Candelaria maker. This team looks for player last names that reference an occupation that someone might have. Animals: (Steve) Lyon, the Tigers and (Doug) Bair, oh my. This team consists of player names containing an animal. Last Name Is Also a First Name Team Whether you're Howard Frank or Frank Howard, you could be on this team containing players whose last name could also be used conventionally as a first name. Flora: A (Pete) Rose by any other name would still smell as sweet and is still not in the Hall of Fame. That is why we plant our (Bob) Seeds so that they grow a strong (Charley) Root system and blossom into a (Homer) Bush, all the while making sure our (Norm) Branch is not covered with (Mike) Ivie. Flowers, trees or flora parts are what these players need to have in their names to be considered for this theme team. Body Parts: You have to have strong (Ricky) Bones and a lot of (Jim Ray) Hart, but most of all, you must use your (Dave) Brain to its fullest potential. To be included on this team, the player's name must contain a body part. Financial: A (Brad) Penny for your thoughts. Personally, I'd rather put my (Don) Money in the (Ernie) Banks or a money market (Lee) Pfund so I can earn a good deal of (Dave) Cash. This team consists of players that have financial terms in their names. Locations: From (Kelly) Paris to (Gus) Britain, from (Al) Holland to (Clyde) Milan, from (Miguel) Cairo to (Frank) Brazil - though all-in-all, I'd rather take a rocket ship to the (Wally) Moon. This theme team includes players with well-known geographic locations in their names. Smiths: A team composed of players whose last name is Smith. Jones: Not to be outdone by the Smiths, a team of players whose last name is Jones. Gonzalez/ Martinez Team: The influence of the Latin player finds its way into a theme team with players whose last name is either Gonzalez or Martinez. Weather: One might expect some (Bob) Hale coming in from the west that might change to some (JT) Snow. Don't expect any (Josh) Fogg, but there could be some (Rich) Gale force winds blowing in, leading to a big (Jake) Freeze. The forecast calls for a heavy dose of (Tim) Raines leading to a potential (Curt) Flood. It won't be long before (Ed) Summers is upon us, so have a (Harry) Bright day. This all (Roy) Weatherly team contains players whose names might be mentioned in a weather report. Z: This team contains only Major Leaguers whose last name begins with the letter Z. Automotive: Whether you drive a (Whitey) Ford, a (Jose) Mercedes or a (Jack) Bentley, each of us can do our part for the environment by not using (Pat) Diesel in our (Chuck) Carr. This theme team consists of players whose names represent a car, truck or motorcycle brand, manufacturer, part or other automotive term. Berry/Bery: Phil Rizzuto never referred to me as a (Earl) Huckleberry. However, he once ate my (Darryl) Strawberry and (Dan) Quisenberry pie. Players that feature "berry" or "bery" somewhere in their names will comprise this delicious team. What's in a name? This is not really a theme team but a list of some of the best and worst names of Major League Baseball players, by position.
