Instead of running or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits against the Nazis. By using their intimate knowledge of the dense forests surrounding the Belarusan towns of Novogrudek and Lida, the Bielskis evaded the Nazis and established a hidden base camp, then set about convincing other Jews to join their ranks. As more and more Jews arrived each day, a robust community began to emerge, a \"Jerusalem in the woods.\" After two and a half years in the woods, in July 1944, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin.

He helped Thomas Masaryk to found the state in World War I; and in the 1920s he worked on foreign policy and was briefly prime minister before being elected president in 1935. Hispresidency saw the loss of the Sudetenland at Munich in 1938, followed by the German occupation in 1939, which forced Benes to form a London-based government-in-exile for the duration of the war. He lived to see a brief period of restored independence (1945-48), and died in 1948, in the year whenCzechoslovakia became another satellite state in Stalin's Soviet Union. Benes was an awkwardly successful politician, with a controversial reputation at home and abroad. His loyalty to the first Czech President, Masaryk, was absolute. In return, Masaryk supported Benes' political ambitions, and between them, the two men shaped the domestic and foreign policies of thenew state and the ways in which it was run. Benes regarded himself as having been supremely successful in World War I and during the peace conference. After such a surfeit of personal and political success, he never again recovered his composure. He was a fair-weather politician, at his best whenthings were going well for him. Munich was a blow which deeply upset him, though he staged a remarkable come-back for himself and Czechoslovakia in World War II. After the conclusion of the treaty with Moscow in 1943, Benes briefly recovered his self-confident optimism, only to lose it gradually inthe subsequent years. President of a country he'd helped to create, Benes was finally broken by the stresses imposed on him by international circumstances in a central Europe dominated first by Hitler and then by Stalin. He died a disappointed, broken man in 1948.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6myabm1gb7hhcf58js59tf.jpg?v=79acfd6359","LEJFfjXk4TR5$+ayR%f78wRj*Ixu",1997,293,[340,344,348,352],{"id":341,"slug":342,"name":343},"01kx6myab40vkaq5xxpwfe7gtd","emeritus-professor-of-european-history-zbynek-zeman-haix","Emeritus Professor of European History Zbyn%ek Zeman",{"id":345,"slug":346,"name":347},"01kx6myab7r3hsf9j43n2ehvcq","zbynek-a-b-zeman-yqqr","Zbyněk A.

She's not a daughter anymore, either. What is she? World War II continues, and Ada and her brother, Jamie, are living with their loving legal guardian, Susan, in a borrowed cottage on the estate of the formidable Lady Thorton--along with Lady Thorton herself and her daughter, Maggie. Life in the crowded cottage is tense enough, and then, quite suddenly, Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, moves in. A German? The occupants of the house are horrified. But other impacts of the war become far more frightening. As death creeps closer to their door, life and morality during wartime grow more complex. Who is Ada now? How can she keep fighting? And who will she struggle to save?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzrfwsyb925r8wy6448t7jj.jpg?v=560210795d","L5AU1^00O=V}03?^iuW90dt.VzR5",2017,400,[384,388],{"id":385,"slug":386,"name":387},"01knqb0q7nm5z74yjeerbvs5zc","kimberly-brubaker-bradley-j9oc","Kimberly Brubaker Bradley",{"id":389,"slug":390,"name":391},"01kwzrfws4rhp2tv6zvjcwez93","josie-portillo-nffw","Josie Portillo",[393,394,395],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},{"id":176,"name":177,"slug":178,"is_fiction":19},{"id":396,"name":397,"slug":398,"is_fiction":20},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",[],{"pace":89,"complexity":7,"audience":401,"mood":402,"themes":403,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[134,229],[404,405],"found-family","coming-of-age",{"id":407,"slug":408,"title":409,"description":410,"primary_cover_url":411,"cover_blurhash":7,"first_publish_year":412,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":413,"authors":414,"genres":419,"series":422,"enrichment":424},"01kx2vddxrtv1e2gt0pva16fvx","the-german-girl-axul","The German girl","Before everything changed, young Hannah Rosenthal lived a charmed life. But now, in 1939, the streets of Berlin are draped with red, white, and black flags; her family's fine possessions are hauled away; and they are no longer welcome in the places that once felt like home. Hannah and her best friend, Leo Martin, make a pact: whatever the future has in store for them, they'll meet it together. Hope appears in the form of the SS St. Louis , a transatlantic liner offering Jews safe passage out of Germany. After a frantic search to obtain visas, the Rosenthals and the Martins depart on the luxurious ship bound for Havana. Life on board the St. Louis is like a surreal holiday for the refugees, with masquerade balls, exquisite meals, and polite, respectful service. But soon ominous rumors from Cuba undermine the passengers' fragile sense of safety. From one day to the next, impossible choices are offered, unthinkable sacrifices are made, and the ship that once was their salvation seems likely to become their doom. Seven decades later in New York City, on her twelfth birthday, Anna Rosen receives a strange package from an unknown relative in Cuba, her great-aunt Hannah. Its contents will inspire Anna and her mother to travel to Havana to learn the truth about their family's mysterious and tragic past, a quest that will help Anna understand her place and her purpose in the world. The German Girl sweeps from Berlin at the brink of the Second World War to Cuba on the cusp of revolution, to New York in the wake of September 11, before reaching its deeply moving conclusion in the tumult of present-day Havana.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fwork\u002F01\u002F01kx2vddxrtv1e2gt0pva16fvx_6a4f4c087a00a.jpg?v=0e94a89bfd",2016,343,[415],{"id":416,"slug":417,"name":418},"01kx2tamjjdw9h0pnf89ea7tan","armando-lucas-correa-3otk","Armando Lucas Correa",[420,421],{"id":396,"name":397,"slug":398,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},[423],{"id":362,"slug":363,"name":364,"position":365,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":89,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":425,"themes":426,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,229,327],[],{"id":113,"slug":114,"title":115,"description":116,"primary_cover_url":117,"cover_blurhash":118,"first_publish_year":119,"community_rating_avg":120,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":121,"authors":428,"genres":430,"series":433,"enrichment":434},[429],{"id":124,"slug":125,"name":126},[431,432],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":19},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":132,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":435,"themes":436,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,135],[],{"id":438,"slug":439,"title":440,"description":441,"primary_cover_url":442,"cover_blurhash":443,"first_publish_year":412,"community_rating_avg":165,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":444,"authors":445,"genres":450,"series":460,"enrichment":461},"01kwzr18rrczr8ewtzzvd1y4tg","lost-in-the-pacific-1942-zqx9","Lost in the Pacific, 1942","World War II, October 21, 1942.

As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.

Nowhere in Europe has the Roman Catholic Church exerted a more mystical hold on the life of a nation than it has in Spain. Yet this hold has not been unchanging or unchallenged. By the mid-eighteenth century the Church was no longer the only legitimate source of authority, the all-pervasive presence that it had been, most forcefully in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Still, its power remained formidable. The Spanish Church imposed standards of conduct over the entire range of society, from the aristocracy to the peasant masses, and it possessed the material resources necessary to maintain an elaborate ecclesiastical network that influenced every aspect of Spanish life. The heart of the book deals with the reactions of the Church to the dramatic, sometimes violent, changes that occurred during the critical nineteenth-century period of national transition from royal absolutism to popular liberalism. The study examines the responses of the Church to the new social and political forces that could no longer be excluded or contained, among them an emergent secular--even anticlerical--culture and a developing capitalism.Callahan demonstrates that these changes engendered resentments and frustrations deep within the ecclesiastical order that persisted well into the twentieth century, notably with the Spanish Church's embrace of Franco.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx2a91wdrsvq8m8cab2zp44t.jpg?v=40f5ef3581","LwKSg$WDoKxW~8jHR+WV%JWCsmWp",1998,"1.00",[725],{"id":726,"slug":727,"name":728},"01kjqz7rn338hakt9x7rffhvn0","henry-david-thoreau-lynz","Henry David Thoreau",[730,731],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":19},{"id":732,"name":733,"slug":734,"is_fiction":19},93,"Nature","nature",[],{"pace":132,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":737,"themes":739,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[135,738],"philosophical",[],{"id":741,"slug":742,"title":743,"description":744,"primary_cover_url":745,"cover_blurhash":746,"first_publish_year":747,"community_rating_avg":165,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":748,"authors":749,"genres":754,"series":758,"enrichment":759},"01kx27p2svvwepgyk3gnd4q0xm","aint-i-a-woman-5dwr","Ain't I a Woman","A world renowned author, scholar, public intellectual, and activist, bell hooks was 19 years old when she wrote *Ain't I a Woman* (published ten years later).
