Adlon – der Mythos lebt. Felix Adlon kann kein Hotel betreten, ohne dass er vom Hoteldirektor höchstpersönlich empfangen wird. Kein Wunder, denn das legendäre Grand Hotel Adlon direkt am Brandenburger Tor in Berlin kennt jeder. Im Familienbesitz ist das Hotel zwar schon lange nicht mehr, trotzdem ist Felix Adlon mit dem Mythos um das Hotel groß geworden, das sein Ururgroßvater Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts gegründet hat.

Janka was a Polish Jewish girl, and Alberto, a Spanish Greek Jewish man. This tale reveals how love and hearts of kindness came out of the horrors of the concentration camps. In 1949, they came to Australia, bringing two cultures, 13 languages and their toddler Nina, to forge a new beginning. These two people would never have met and fallen in love, if they hadn’t survived the attempted extermination of a race in the death chambers of Europe. They knew and taught their children, that we cannot move on without forgiveness.

Nina Sankovitch’s American Rebels explores, for the first time, the intertwined lives of the Hancock, Quincy, and Adams families, and the role each person played in sparking the American Revolution. American Rebels explores how the desire for independence cut across class lines, binding people together as well as dividing them -rebels versus loyalists - as they pursued commonly held goals of opportunity, liberty, and stability.

Mary Meyer was a secret mistress of President John F. Kennedy, whom she had known since private school days, and after her death, reports that she had kept a diary set off a tense search by her brother-in-law, newsman Ben Bradlee, and CIA spymaster James Jesus Angleton. But the only suspect in her murder was acquitted, and today her life and death are still a source of intense speculation.
