Der Held des 20. Jahrhunderts: Er hat Hitler aufgehalten. Unter den herausragenden Politikern des 20. Jahrhunderts ist Churchill der schillerndste. Hollywood hat den Adeligen mit der Zigarre längst zu einer Film- und Heldenfigur überhöht. Seine Sätze, dass er etwa »außer Blut, Schweiß und Tränen« nichts zu bieten habe, sind geflügelte Worte. Churchill gilt als einer der größten Redner der Geschichte, hat seinen aufwendigen Lebensunterhalt als Schriftsteller und Journalist bestritten und wurde mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur ausgezeichnet.

Sent to France with the Royal Flying Corps at just 17, and later a member of the famous 56 Squadron, Cecil Lewis was an illustrious and passionate fighter pilot of the First World War, described by Bernard Shaw in 1935 as 'a thinker, a master of words, and a bit of a poet'. In this vivid and spirited account the author evocatively sets his love of the skies and flying against his bitter experience of the horrors of war. We then follow his progress from France and the battlefields of the Somme to his pioneering defence of London against deadly nighttime raids.

Reinhard Heydrich fut parmi les dirigeants nazis l’un des plus féroces et des plus craints. Cet ancien officier de marine fut distingué par Himmler et mis à la tête du SD, le service de sécurité de la SS. Ayant ainsi autorité sur les services secrets et la Gestapo, il eut entre les mains une puissance qui n’était guère dépassée que par celle de Hitler lui-même. Il fut avec Himmler l’un des concepteurs de la " solution finale de la question juive ". Nommé protecteur de Bohême-Moravie, le " bourreau de Prague " fut abattu en 1942, à trente-huit ans, par des résistants tchèques.

Historicizing the much-championed ideal of zero waste, Anne Berg shows that the management of waste was central to the politics of war and to the genesis of genocide in the Nazi Germany. Destruction and recycling were part of an overarching strategy to redress raw material shortages, procure lebensraum, and cleanse the continent of Jews and others considered undesirable. Resource extending schemes obscured the crucial political role played by virtually all German citizens to whom salvaging, scrapping, and recycling were promoted as inherently virtuous and orderly behaviors.

Story
Thomas Harding kannte seinen Großonkel Hanns Alexander als einen freundlichen Mann mit viel Familiensinn, der ein bürgerliches Leben als Bankangestellter in London geführt hatte, sich für die Synagoge engagierte und gerne Witze machte. Seine jüdische Familie stammte aus Berlin und war in den 1930er-Jahren in letzter Minute nach England ins Exil entkommen. Das wussten alle. Ansonsten wurde über den Krieg nicht gesprochen. Erst nach dem Tod von Hanns Alexander erfuhr Harding, dass er ein Nazijäger gewesen war.

Story
Lidia Maksymowicz ist drei Jahre alt, als sie mit ihrer Mutter in das Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau deportiert wird. Dreizehn Monate lang überlebt sie in dieser Hölle, getrennt von ihrer Mutter, in der Kinderbaracke. Sie ist eines der kleinen "Versuchskaninchen" von Dr. Josef Mengele, der seine lebensbedrohlichen "Experimente" an ihr durchführt. Lidia sieht, wie die anderen Kindern nach und nach sterben, an den Folgen der Experimente, am Hunger.
