Ergebnis für "Benjamin" in Zweiter Weltkrieg

Spiegel Bestseller. "Wenn es um Menschlichkeit geht, gibt es kein Wenn und Aber". Er war als Soldat beim D-Day, als Ermittler bei der Befreiung der Konzentrationslager und als Ankläger bei den Nürnberger Prozessen dabei: Benjamin Ferencz hat ein ganzes Jahrhundert miterlebt und sein Leben der Gerechtigkeit gewidmet. Unermüdlich hat Ben, wie er sich selbst nennt, sich für eine gerechte und friedliche Welt eingesetzt.

Un témoignage rare, lucide et profondément humain sur l'une des pages les plus sombres de l'Histoire. En 1941, Benjamin Jacobs est encore étudiant en médecine dentaire quand il est déporté avec son père. Transporté dans plusieurs camps avant de terminer à Auschwitz, il ne doit sa survie qu'à sa trousse de dentiste. Son récit bouleversant raconte la faim, la peur et la mort mais aussi les gestes de solidarité et les instants de courage.

This unique memoir by the grandson of General George S. Patton Jr. offers a rare and intimate look into the life of the legendary man and the legacy he passed down from one generation to the next.

Letters from a WWII Airman: How His Faith Sustained Him, is the true story of one of those men from what we acknowledge as "the "Greatest Generation". Like so many who experienced war, Ken Hathaway (1918-2001) was reluctant to talk about those experiences, but the letters and scrapbooks he left behind contained information that, when pieced together, provided a compelling story.

War stories inhere in all generations. This book is about the shards of war--the deep sharp edges left within those who have seen combat, survived it, and lived beyond it. The book weaves these stories told to the author, or experienced by him, with the Civil War Diary of the author's great-great grandfather. Grandfather Benjamin Franklin Heuston (1824-1894) fought for the Union with the 22nd Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment. He marched with General Sherman to Atlanta in 1864, and was badly wounded.

True love sees hope in the bleakest of situations, recognises no boundaries and surmounts the insurmountable. Stan and Cecylia's story is played out against the background of the events of the war in Europe and, later, in Australia, as immigrants with no knowledge of the language nor the customs of their adopted country. Despite extreme difficulties and sometimes seemingly impossible odds, Stan and Cecylia remained firm in their resolve to stay together.
