Troubled Memory, Second Edition

Sinopsis del Libro

This powerful book tells the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka by posing as Aryans. The family eventually made their way to New Orleans, where they became part of a vibrant Jewish community. Lawrence Powell traces their dramatic odyssey and explores the events that eventually triggered Anne Skorecki Levy's brave decision to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the recurring specter of racist hatred.

A bordo del galeón

Me fascinan las grandes historias, y no las hay mejores que las vividas en grandes cascarones de madera flotantes durante los siglos XV y XVI. En aquella época el mundo estaba aún por descubrir, todo era posible. Hombres de coraje y espíritu temerario se aventuraban hacia lo desconocido a través de océanos insondables, sin saber qué les depararía el oleaje.Por eso no dudé en emularlos cuando se me presentó la oportunidad de embarcarme como voluntario en el Galeón Andalucía, una réplica que hoy surca los mares del globo. Trabajé y aprendí a marchas forzadas sobre sus cubiertas,...
