Title: Jews in the Garden: A Holocaust Survivor, the Fate of His Family, and the Secret History of Poland in World War II Author: Judy Rakowsky Narrator: Judy Rakowsky Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 6 minutes Release date: July 11, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Villages of Poland hide the lost secrets of World War II 1944: Heavy footfalls thud on the road on a rainy May night. A band of gunmen scour a hilltop farm, acting on rumors that it harbors a Jewish family. For 18 months, the Rozeneks have been hiding safely, but their luck is about to run out. Only one from the family of six will live to see the sunrise. Sixteen-year-old Hena Rozenek shelters in the woods until morning . . . and then she runs. Forty years later: Holocaust survivor Sam Rakowski Ron has lived in the United States for decades, never thinking he could return to the Polish village he fled as a teenager. But now he's ready to talk about what he heard, what he saw, and what he knows about two separate families of cousins who were his neighbors, and presumably were killed during the war. The story Poland presents to the world is that Poles saved more Jews than citizens of any other nation, that any murders in Poland were committed by Nazis and Nazis alone. But Sam, while defending his countrymen, suspects a painful truth. The stories he shares with his younger cousin, Judy, an investigative journalist, send them off on a decades-long journey unlike any other to find out what happened to the Rozenek family and ultimately reveal the secrets the Polish government is still desperate to keep.

Title: [Italian] - Maria Montessori, una storia attuale: La vita, il pensiero, le testimonianze Series: #1 of Appunti Montessori Author: Grazia Honegger Fresco Narrator: Daria Esposito Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 40 minutes Release date: July 10, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Maria Montessori non fu certo una donna comune. Capace di destare le più entusiastiche adesioni e le critiche più malevole, fu oggetto al suo tempo di illazioni, maldicenze, pettegolezzi e, ancor oggi, il suo senso di libertà e le scomode novità del suo pensiero suscitano reazioni contrastanti. Si ripercorrono qui le tappe della sua vita: dagli anni della formazione, segnati dalla difficoltà di essere una delle prime donne medico in Italia, all'esperienza dolorosa della maternità nascosta; dalle lotte femministe, che fondano in lei un nuovo senso di giustizia sociale e una nuova consapevolezza del ruolo della donna, all’impegno a favore dei bambini svantaggiati fino al suo innovativo progetto pedagogico, basato sulla valorizzazione delle risorse e della libertà del bambino. La presente edizione, rivista e aggiornata, accoglie numerose aggiunte, modifiche, correzioni e capitoli nuovi, grazie anche al prezioso contributo della bisnipote di Maria, Carolina Montessori.

Title: On The Tracks Of A Shadow Author: Carlos Usín Narrator: Luis Cruz Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 3 minutes Release date: July 7, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: At the end of the Spanish Civil War, the government of Franco's ”New Spain” launched a complex and Machiavellian system of repression, directed against all those republican prisoners who had lost the war. From that moment on, the hundreds of thousands of prisoners (Republican or not), suffered in their flesh - literally - the ordeal of forced labor, internment in Concentration Camps or prisons and in certain cases, directly death.At the end of the Spanish Civil War, the government of the Francoist “New Spain” set in motion a complex and Machiavellian system of repression directed against all those Republican prisoners who had lost the war. From that moment on, hundreds of thousands of prisoners (Republicans or not) suffered first-hand the torture of forced labour, internment in concentration camps or in prisons or, in certain cases, death. Although in the vast majority of cases the victims of reprisals belonged to political parties, unions and other left-wing organisations, some internees were practising Catholics educated by the Piarists but were still not spared. This is the story of Enrique, one of those internees, who in 1936, shortly after his twentieth birthday, found himself obliged to take part in a civil war instead of continuing his medical studies at university. Over the following 20 years, his determination to finish his degree did not waver and although he did not fire a single shot, because he spent the war working in a hospital, he was given a Summary Military Trial, sentenced to twelve years and one day for “aiding the rebellion”, suffered internment in concentration camps and prisons and was sent to work battalions where he carried out forced labour, and all that despite being Catholic and right-wing. Quite simply, he was on the wrong side at the least opportune time. PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Title: A Legacy to Remember Author: Pamela K Orgeron Narrator: Milton Orgeron Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 5 minutes Release date: July 4, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: A Legacy to Remember: Recollections of a Common Man is the story of a man who rose above all odds stacked against him. The Great Depression, divorced parents, living in poverty, World War II, the death of a child, divorce, etc.—commonly known occurrences many individuals in American history have faced. Many people would have been bitter having lived through such tragedies. But not Duard Vinson Gillum! He not only survived but he thrived through his faith in God to become a wonderful family man with a successful career in the aeronautics industry, even working on the Apollo moon landing project and the space shuttle project. This biography follows Tiny’s autobiography, Recollections of a Common Man (Xlibris, 2011), self-published before his death with a final chapter and additional photos documenting Mr. Gillum’s life. Reared in Ashland, KY, during the Great Depression, Mr. Gillum's extended family of 11 occupied a three-room shack located next to the city dump. After the Depression, his family experienced the Great Flood of 1937, where many locales along the Ohio River, including Ashland, faced much devastation. When WWII started he had only completed a ninth-grade education before joining the navy, lying about his age. Following his honorable discharge from the navy after WWII ended, with only his ninth-grade education, Mr. Gillum became a well-accomplished career man in the aeronautics field while also volunteering in his community as a baseball coach for 18 years; that also included coaching his son. Referring to Mr. Gillum as a mere survivor is an understatement, to say the least. He thrived in the midst of adversity to overcome much tragedy while maintaining an optimistic attitude that reflected to others around him. No doubt Mr. Gillum touched a lot of lives. He also left a lot of life lessons that many individuals in today's society will glean from listening to A Legacy to Remember: Recollections of a Common Man.

Title: Sing, Memory: The Remarkable Story of the Man Who Saved the Music of the Nazi Camps Author: Makana Eyre Narrator: Paul Boehmer Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 12 minutes Release date: June 27, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: In October 1942, SS guards at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp violently disbanded a rehearsal of a secret Jewish choir led by conductor Rosebery d'Arguto. Many in the group did not live to see morning, and those who survived were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Only one of its members survived the Holocaust. Yet their story survives, thanks to Aleksander Kulisiewicz. An amateur musician, he was not Jewish, but became friends with d'Arguto in Sachsenhausen. D'Arguto tasked him with a mission: to save the musical heritage of the victims of the Nazi camps. In Sing, Memory, Makana Eyre recounts Kulisiewicz's transformation from a Polish nationalist into a guardian of music and culture from the Nazi camps. Aided by an eidetic memory, Kulisiewicz was able to preserve for posterity not only his own songs about life at the camp, but the music and poetry of prisoners from a range of backgrounds. They composed symphonies, organized clandestine choirs, and gathered to perform for one another. For many, music enabled them to resist, bear witness, and maintain their humanity in some of the most brutal conditions imaginable. After the war, Kulisiewicz returned to Poland and assembled an archive of camp music, which he went on to perform in more than a dozen countries. He dedicated the remainder of his life to the memory of the Nazi camps.

Title: [German] - Europa: Eine persönliche Geschichte Author: Timothy Garton Ash Narrator: Patrick Twinem Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 3 minutes Release date: June 26, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Zerstört, geteilt, geeint, zwischen Taumel und Triumph: Die Geschichte Europas wie Timothy Garton Ash sie erlebt hat – als Historiker, Kommentator und Zeitzeuge. Timothy Garton Ash ist leidenschaftlicher Europäer. Schon vor 1989 wollte er sich nicht mit der Teilung des Kontinents abfinden, bis zuletzt kämpfte er gegen den Brexit. Nun schreibt er seine ganz persönliche Geschichte Europas, die 1945 mit der Stationierung seines Vaters als Besatzungssoldat in Deutschland beginnt. Er erzählt von Freunden wie Václav Havel, erinnert sich an den Mauerfall, berichtet vom Jugoslawienkrieg, der Eurokrise und dem Flüchtlingsdrama und liefert eine scharfe, eindringliche Analyse der neuesten europäischen Geschichte. Der Angriff auf die Ukraine zeigt, wie dringend wir einen freien und geeinten Kontinent brauchen – niemand verkörpert diese Idee überzeugender als Timothy Garton Ash. »Für Europa das richtige Buch zur richtigen Zeit.« Timothy Snyder

Über Rassismus im Alltag und wie wir unser Land verändern wollen (Ungekürzt) Author: Diverse Autoren Narrator: Mirrianne Mahn, Dr Martin Hyun, Milka Loff Fernandes, Tyron Ricketts Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 43 minutes Release date: June 23, 2023 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Dass Deutschland ein Land ist, das von Vielfalt geprägt wird, ist unbestreitbar. Und dennoch erleben Eingewanderte und ihre Nachkommen täglich Ablehnung und Benachteiligung, sei es auf der Suche nach einer Wohnung, bei Bewerbungsgesprächen oder bei der Fahrscheinkontrolle. Es ist schockierend, wie stark Rassismus immer noch den deutschen Alltag durchzieht. Gleichzeitig sind solche Erfahrungen schwer nachzuempfinden, wenn man sie nicht selbst erlebt hat. Umso wichtiger ist es, Geschichten Betroffener zu erzählen, um die Gesellschaft zu sensibilisieren und Veränderung möglich zu machen. In 'People of Deutschland' versammeln Martina Rink und Simon Usifo Stimmen zum Thema Rassismus in Deutschland. Persönlichkeiten aus Bereichen wie Mode, Sport, Medien, Wirtschaft und Kunst teilen authentisch sowie berührend ihre Erfahrungen und erzählen, wie es ist, heute als Person of Color oder Person mit sichtbarem Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland zu leben. Die persönlichen Geschichten geben Einblicke in die gesellschaftliche Vielfalt dieses Landes und machen Mut, Alltagsrassismus entgegenzutreten.
