Book Description
Thousands of Jews and "Aryan" Germans opposed to Hitler led illegal lives under the Nazi terror and survived the relentless hunt of the Gestapo, the concentration camps, and the bombing. They survived in various ways; some as ordinary citizens taking part in the work-day life, others with fake passports, hidden in cellars, living precariously in all the dark corners of a vigilantly policed country. In fourteen autobiographical accounts, author Eric Boehm offers a cross-section of these heroic personalities. We Survived is itself an historical document, giving a window back into this epoch period during World War II. Now reappearing in print over fifty years after its original publication, We Survived remains as relevant and necessary as ever before - an honest testimony to the strength of the human spirit when it triumphs over adversity.

Book Description
This book is the real story of one Ukrainian family and at the same time a written testimony and testimony of the cruel treatment of Ukrainian civilians by Russian military personnel for the Hague Court . There is no fiction in the book, every word is our blood, which we paid for the right to talk about the real events that we had to go through. I must immediately warn you that the book contains scenes of torture and violence committed by the Russian military against this family, as well as other Ukrainian captured civilians. These events, these words, this pain, and all these deaths cannot simply be crossed out or brushed over like in a painting, so that everything on the white canvas is “beautiful and orderly.” This is a real story with a detailed description of the real events experienced by the author of the book, this is a true story of life, which has no right to be embellished, a means of removing and not fully describing human actions , so that the book looks more “clean” and without cruelty. But by doing this with text, we simultaneously change reality and make the crimes committed by Russian military personnel look less cruel, and not what they really were. This is the real life story of my family, from which it is impossible to take and erase all these terrible scenes. Because you understand, these events from the lives of the tortured victims will never be erased. All surviving victims of the Russians will remain with scars on their bodies and souls. Peaceful Ukrainian people , who have never done anything bad to anyone, will never again be able to sleep peacefully, plunging every day into the nightmare of memories of the torture they experienced, which will emerge in every dream , and traces of the inhuman cruelty of the Russians will remain on their skin forever . Also, these atrocities cannot be erased from the history of Russia’s war against Ukraine, from the abuses of Russians against Ukrainian civilians. This book is yet another piece of evidence to convict Russia, Putin and all the guilty criminals in the Hague Court. I couldn't delete a single line from this book. I was unable to distort the real truth and soften reality. After all, this is all true. And who needs lies? Only Russians need softened facts of crimes committed. And people all over the planet should know what the Russians did in Ukraine, and understand what a real war is.

Book Description
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are highAnd you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.Times were tough, but we made it through.These were times when people depended on one another, when they learned to take nothing for granted, and to recognize those things that were more important than the luxuries money could buy.

Daring young Paul, gets a big bang out of celebrating the fourth of July, right in front of his armed Japanese captors. A hardened Japanese veteran of Manchuria, China and Bataan, reveals his hidden humanity. While others are being beheaded in Fort Santiago, a Japanese guard risks his own life to spare the life of a Filipino friend. At risk of his life, Stephen provides an American flag to a Filipipno guerilla for use in signaling American submarines. In all this struggle, how can the Smiths find the physical, emotional and spiritual resources to survive the crucible of war? This book tells how.

A chilling, eye-opening story of marriage and attempted murder, revealing the truth about a case that made headlines around the world. On Easter Sunday 2015, experienced skydiver Victoria Cilliers undertook a parachute jump, a gift from her husband, British army sergeant Emile Cilliers.

Someone had tampered with her parachute and they suspected Emile.

Even a guilty verdict does not free her because Emile is not ready to let her go . . . Powerful and honest, I Survived is the story of a woman who was put through hell and yet found the strength to forge a new life for herself and her children.
