From Broken Glass: My Story of Finding Hope in Hitler's Death Camps to Inspire a New Generation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 371min

From the survivor of 10 Nazi concentration camps who went on to create the New England Holocaust Memorial, an inspiring memoir about finding strength in the face of despair. On August 14, 2017, two days after a white-supremacist activist rammed his car into a group of anti-Fascist protestors, killing one and injuring 19, the New England Holocaust Memorial was vandalized for the second time in as many months. At the base of one of its fifty-four-foot glass towers lay a pile of shards. For Steve Ross, the image called to mind Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass in which German authorities and civilians ransacked Jewish-owned buildings with sledgehammers. Ross was eight years old when the Nazis invaded his Polish village, forcing his family to flee. He spent his next six years in a day-to-day struggle to survive the notorious camps in which he was imprisoned, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Dachau among them. When he was finally liberated, he no longer knew how old he was, he was literally starving to death, and everyone in his family save for his brother had been killed. Ross learned in his darkest experiences - by observing and enduring inconceivable cruelty as well as by receiving compassion from caring fellow prisoners - the human capacity to rise above even the bleakest circumstances. He decided to devote himself to underprivileged youth, aiming to ensure that despite the obstacles in their lives they would never experience suffering like he had. Over the course of a nearly 40-year career as a psychologist working in the Boston city schools, that was exactly what he did. At the end of his career, he spearheaded the creation of the New England Holocaust Memorial, a site millions of people, including young students, visit every year. Equal parts heartrending, brutal, and inspiring, From Broken Glass is the story of how one man survived the unimaginable and inspired a new generation to help forge a more compassionate wor ungekürzt.

Sing Meinen Song - Das Tauschkonzert Vol. 3 Deluxe

Die mehrfach ausgezeichnete Musikshow (Echo, deutscher Fernsehpreis, Bambi) Sing meinen Song Das Tauschkonzert , deren Alben der 1. und 2. Staffel sofort auf Platz 1 der deutschen Albumcharts gingen, geht in die nächste Runde. Zum dritten Mal hat Gastgeber Xavier Naidoo hochkarätige Musikerkollegen nach Südafrika eingeladen, um sich der Herausforderung zu stellen, bekannte Songs neu zu interpretieren. Dabei ist die Bandbreite an unterschiedlichen Musikgenres noch nie so groß gewesen wie in diesem Jahr. Von Pop über Rock, Soul, Country, Funk, Rap bis hin zum Chanson und Kölner Dialekt ist alles dabei. Dass dieses Experiment für Wolfgang Niedecken von BAP, Annett Louisan, The BossHoss, Nena, Seven, Rapper Samy Deluxe und auch Xavier Naidoo mit besonderem Nervenkitzel verbunden war, wurde den Beteiligten schnell klar. Soviel sei schon mal verraten, diesmal flossen keine Tränen. Doch emotionale Momente waren genauso dabei, wie die gute Stimmung untereinander, die von großer Herzlichkeit und Respekt geprägt war. Neben den musikalischen Interpretationen waren jedoch auch die Gespräche der Künstler miteinander bemerkenswert, was unter anderem an den teils ernsthaften Songtexten von Wolfgang Niedecken lag, die man erstmalig in hochdeutsch hört. Dies wird spätestens dann klar, wenn Samy Deluxe den BAP Song Kristallnacht seinen Kollegen präsentiert. Sascha Vollmer und Alex Völkel von The BossHoss sorgten ebenfalls für ein Highlight. Nicht nur, das sie zum ersten Mal auf Deutsch singen sondern sie kreierten auch gleich ein neues Musikgenre den CRAP = Country + Rap. Xavier hingegen wagte sich an den Funk mit dem Song Go Slow von Seven, wobei er scherzhaft bemerkte, dass dies wohl das Motto der Schweizer sei. Auch für Nena war es eine Herausforderung sich einem Song von Samy Deluxe zu stellen, während Annett Louisan sich mit dem Track Close von The BossHoss an das Country-Genre traute. Der Song Was wir alleine nicht schaffen bekam von Wolfgang Niedecken hingegen eine neue Dialektik verpasst, indem er ihn auf Kölsch zum Besten gab. Auf Sing meinen Song Das Tauschkonzert Volume 3 trifft das Motto So haben Sie diese Stars noch nie gehört erneut voll und ganz zu. Mit den 14 Interpretationen des Standard-Albums sind ein Teil der musikalischen Höhepunkte auf einem Tonträger zusammengefasst. Wer jedoch die große Bandbreite der einzelnen Protagonisten bevorzugt, kann sich mit der Doppel-CD Deluxe-Edition gleich 29 Songs für den heimischen Player sichern. Ob Standard oder Deluxe, beide Versionen stecken voller vertrauter Songs, die einen ganz neuen Charakter bekamen und zeigen Musiker, die bereit sind ihre gewohnten Genres zu verlassen. So haben Sie diese Stars wirklich noch nie gehört. Songs 1. Annett Louisan - Nur geträumt 2. Xavier Naidoo - Wunder geschehn 3. Nena - Mon dernier jour 4. Annett Louisan - City of Gold 5.

Evans' The Third Reich in Power: How the Nazis Won Over the Hearts and Minds of a Nation explores how Hitler turned Germany from a vibrant democracy into a one-party state.Before Hitler seized power in 1933, Germany had been famous for its sophistication and complexity. So how was it possible for a group of ideological obsessives to re-mould it into a one-party state directed at war and race hate? How did the Nazis win over the hearts and minds of Germany's citizens, twist science, religion and culture, and transform the country's politics to achieve total dominance so quickly?From the Nuremberg Laws to the Olympic Games, Kristallnacht to the Hitler Youth, this gripping account shows how a whole population became enmeshed in a dictatorship that was consumed by hatred and driven by war.'Impressive ... perceptive ... humane' Ian Kershaw'Excellent ... powerful ... it makes an indelible impression' Robert Service, Sunday Times'Likely to be the standard work for some years to come' Spectator Books of the Year'A rich and detailed description of just what the Third Reich did in every compartment of the state and every corner of society ...

The Hangman and His Wife (eBook, ePUB)

An astonishing journey into the heart of Nazi evil: a portrait of one of the darkest figures of Hitler's Nazi elite-Reinhard Heydrich, the designer and executor of the Holocaust, chief of the Reich Main Security, including the Gestapo-interwoven with commentary by his wife, Lina, from the author's in-depth interviews. He was called the Hangman of the Gestapo, the "butcher of Prague," with a reputation as a ruthlessly efficient killer. He was the head of the SS, and the Gestapo, second in command to Heinrich Himmler. His orders set in motion the Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938 and, as the lead planner of Hitler's Final Solution, he chaired the Wannsee Conference, at which details of the murder of millions of Jews across Nazi-occupied Europe were toasted with cognac. In The Hangman and His Wife, Nancy Dougherty, and, following her death, Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, masterfully explore who Heydrich was and how he came to be, and how he came to do what he did. We see Heydrich from his rarefied musical family origins and his ugly-duckling childhood and adolescence, to his sudden flameout as a promising Naval officer (he was forced to resign his Naval commission after dishonoring the office corps by having sex with the unmarried daughter of a shipyard director and refusing to marry her). Dougherty writes of his seemingly hopeless job prospects as an untrained civilian during Germany's hyperinflation and unemployment, and his joining the Nazi party through the attraction to Nazism of his fiancée, Lina von Osten, and her father, along with the rumor shadowing him of a strain of Jewishness inherited from his father's side. And we follow Heydrich's meteoric rise through the Nazi high command-from SS major, to colonel to brigadier general, before he was thirty, deputy to Heinrich Himmler, expanding the SS, the Gestapo, and developing the Reich's plans for "the Jewish solution." And throughout, we hear the voice of Lina Heydrich, who was by his side until his death at the age of thirty-eight, living inside the Nazi inner circles as she waltzed with Rudolf Hess, feuded with Hermann Göring, and drank vintage wine with Albert Speer.
