Showing results for "Women" in Western

Die Historikerin Anna Maria Sigmund zeichnet in ihrem Bestseller acht eindringliche Porträts von Frauen in herausragender gesellschaftlicher Position des NS-Terrorregimes, darunter Emmy Göring, Magda Goebbels, Eva Braun und Leni Riefenstahl. Diese Neuausgabe überrascht mit zahlreichen neuen Erkenntnissen aus lange verschlossenen Archiven und neu aufgefundenen Quellen.

May 10, 1940. The Netherlands was swarming with Third Reich troops. In seven days it's entirely occupied by Nazi Germany. Joining a small resistance cell in the Dutch city of Haarlem were three teenage girls: Hannie Schaft, and sisters Truus and Freddie Oversteegen, who would soon band together to form a singular female underground squad.

The profoundly inspiring and fully documented saga of Joan of Arc, the young peasant girl whose "voices" moved her to rally the French nation and a reluctant king against British invaders in 1428, has fascinated artistic figures as diverse as William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Voltaire, George...

When they fell in love in 1928, Rika and Waldemar could have not been more different. She was a thirty-seven-year-old Dutch-born mother, estranged from her husband. He was her immigrant boarder, not yet twenty, and a wealthy Surinamese descendant of slaves. The child they have together, brown skinned and blue eyed, brings the couple great joy yet raises some eyebrows. Until the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands explodes their promising life. What unfolds is more than the astonishing story of a love that prevailed over convention. It’s also the quest of a young boy.
