Book Description
"Silent Sun is the story of one man's quest for his heritage - a chronicle of hardships experienced in Nazi labor camps; a tribute, also, to the human spirit." "From the nights of September 1939, when caravans of Polish cavalry passed too quietly beneath his windows in Chrzanow, Poland, Solomon Gross was filled with a sense of foreboding. By 1940, his fears were realized as he found himself in Sakran, a Nazi labor camp - cutting sod in the warm weather, shoveling snow in a cold that froze his canvas-clogged feet, living on potato soup. Conditions worsened from day to day." "But if the camp at Sakran was "the most difficult physical experience" for Gross, the Graditz camp he was moved to in 1941 was difficult in its own way - "a trial of a totally different nature" . . . a place where, for a time, one hundred people lived on rations meant for forty. In the two and a half years Gross was shuttled between Graditz and another camp called Faulbruck, his survival instincts emerged with new fervor: he smuggled potatoes from the camp kitchen in his knickerbockers; he ate sugar beets - or "swine fodder" - for as long as he could stomach them. And ever and again he made his blacksmithing talents a distraction to the Germans - a cover for operations of survival." "In the second half of 1944, Gross was moved from Graditz to Sportschule, a division of the Grossrosen concentration camp. There, he had to give up his own clothes for a striped, burlap uniform, and his hair to the crude barbering instruments of his captors. And yet, in such bleak surroundings, he persevered - wrote inspiring letters to his future wife, Dorka, smuggled food to his mother, shared rations with his friend Berek." "Writes Gross, "Some, like myself, spent close to four years waiting for the great day." Indeed. Four years. Something like a college education - only with an infinitely more grueling course load, and participation in graduation an uncertainty. Fortunately for Gross, convocation came with the buzzing of Allied bombers: in the midst of death machines was deliverance." "Life during the war had not been without occasional pleasures, or even joys. Through those years in the camp, Gross had shared a sweet courtship with Dorka, after all, and experienced the kindness of sympathetic peasants and half-hearted enemies. Conversely, postwar life was not without its trials. Some of Gross's Russian liberators, for instance, proved crude in their pursuit of victory's "spoils." But Gross, like so many of the liberated Jews, was irrepressible. Like the great silent sun he longed to be warmed by, Solomon Gross was ever persistent. In its rays, he found his heritage."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book Description
Quintessentially British, Genesis spearheaded progressive rock in the 1970s, evolving into a chart-topping success through the end of the millennium. Influencing rock groups such as Radiohead, Phish, Rush, Marillion and Elbow, the experimental format of Genesis' songs inspired new avenues for music to explore. From the 23-minute masterpiece "Supper's Ready," via the sublime beauty of "Ripples" and the bold experimentation of "Mama", to hits such as "Invisible Touch" and "I Can't Dance," their material was inventive and unique. This book is the chronological history of the band's music, with critical analysis and key details of each of the 204 songs Genesis recorded and released.
