Story
FACING THE LION is the autobiographical account of a young girl's faith and courage. In the years immediately preceding World War II, Simone Arnold is a young girl who delights in life – her doting parents, her loving aunts and uncles, and her grandparents at their mountain farm in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. As Simone grows into her preteen years, her parents turn from the Catholic Church and become devout Jehovah's Witnesses. Simone, too, embraces the faith. The Nazi party (the "Lion") takes over Alsace-Lorraine, and Simone's schools become Nazi propaganda machines.

The first biography dedicated to the namesake of Joint Base Andrews, this book sheds a light on Andrews's crucial role in orchestrating US involvement in WWII, as well as the professional relationship between Andrews and Marshall. Wilson raises Andrews's legacy to its legitimate place within the annals of both air power and WWII history and posits that there is a high probability that Andrews was Marshall's first choice for the office of Supreme Allied Commander.

Story
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.

Przez całe lata nie wolno było o nich mówić. Teraz również nie dla wszystkich są bohaterami "wygodnymi”. Polacy wypędzeni przez bolszewików ze swych domów i małych ojczyzn na Kresach. Symbolem ich gehenny jest pociąg. Długi, upiorny, ciągnący się niemal w nieskończoność. Wiozący ich bydlęcymi wagonami do piekła – w syberyjską tajgę i stepy Kazachstanu. Dla większości była to podróż bez powrotu.

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.

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.

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.
