It was the darkest period of modern history; particularly if you were Jewish in Europe. That is where Garmaine Pitchon was when Hitler ascended to power and unleashed a diabolical scheme to annihilate the Jewish race. Follow along as Eli Gonzalez tells Garmaine story in a vibrant; chilling; and compelling narrative. Always a rambunctious; curious girl; Garmaine found a way to not wear the yellow Star of David and got to experience more than most before the war. Garmaine experienced loss at an epic proportion. Her entire family was murdered; beginning with her grandmother; killed in her own grocery store by a Nazi officer who forced her to make him a sandwich as she walked over her just-murdered beloved grandmother's warm; flowing blood. Experience the horror of the 9-Day train ride to Auschwitz and become a first hand witness to when it was only Nazi's and Jews and the veil was pulled off and absolute evil abounded. Yet; there is something about Garmaine's story; something divine that happened. What was meant to destroy her strengthened her. What was meant to stop her lineage became a force to help desperate mothers years after. When there is a divine purpose for your life and that of your family; no one and nothing can stop it.

Slavery 101 is the real 401By Kristofer UpjohnSlavery 101 by Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal winner Lochlainn Seabrook may be tiny little sliver of a volume but there is ample data and revealing truths … revealed. For you see; the contents of this book contradict what you were taught in school about the Civil War.Far from being a battle over the liberation of black slaves; some noble war to bring about abolition; the so-called Civil War was a ridiculously bloody; nation-rending squall over economics. Simply put; the rightful secession of states whose original union established sovereignty was a threat to the northern economy; as well as a movement to heavily centralize federal power in the executive seat. Sadly; great strides in that direction were indeed made by Lincoln; far from the crusading friend of blacks he is usually said to be.With big government; fed-centric politics and unignorable economic impact putting pressure on the direction of the nation; Lincoln (a despotic baboon; truth be told) used race as a hot button issue to prevent European intervention on the side of the south. But the fact of the matter is; any number of documented quotes from leaders on both sides of the Mason-Dixon firmly establishes that slavery was not a motive but rather a major gear in Lincoln’s disingenuous propaganda machine.Besides the Civil War itself; the history of slavery in America (and beyond) is brimming with actual facts that contradict the popular version of events. The slave trade was conducted by the North. Black on black slavery was already afoot in Africa without any prompting from us. I could lay out tons of facts but that would be to give away the contents of this brief but bulging book of hidden history.Suffice it to say the South was far less guilty than traditionally depicted; and the North far more so.Seabrook strikes again with one of his enlightening volumes that help correct the unhistorical history shoved at us any time the topic of slavery and the American Civil War are broached.(...)1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy William F. DonovanShort research on all that you know was true but we were taught different6 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Get the facts with this cool little bookBy Keith WhiteThis book was a real eye opener. I don't think most people realize that slavery started in the North! (I didn't til now) And the next time someone says the Confederate flag is a symbol of racism; they need to get real. Guess which flag is flying in the wind on every slave ship going back and forth from America to Africa? The American Flag! That's right. Not the battleflag! Get the facts with this cool little book. Seabrook is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.
