The tropical island of Sri Lanka is a paradise for tourists, but in 2009 it became a hell for its Tamil minority, as decades of civil war between the Tamil Tiger guerrillas and the government reached its bloody climax. Caught in the crossfire were hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren, doctors, farmers, fishermen, nuns and other civilians. And the government ensured through a strict media blackout that the world was unaware of their suffering. Now, a UN enquiry has called for war-crimes investigations. Those crimes are recounted here to the wider world for the first time in sobering, shattering detail.

The world suddenly changed into hell as the rivers and lakes turned into blood. The Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean could not be left behind. The hue and cries of people could be heard from afar and beyond, as the merciless and ruthless massacre of the Jews were being carried out. This was the genocide that took place between 1941 and 1945. This book, Surviving the Holocaust, opens up a fresh wound that, even though we are healed, the wound looks fresh just like yesterday. The book talks much about the survivors of the Holocaust. The main objective of this book is to instill in you the information and the facts in order for you to understand what went on during that time. This book explores the life of the survivors and how they managed their ordeals. It is good to note that the likes of Irene Fogel saw death with their own eyes. Imagine existing in an era where over 60 million people are being displaced, with another 17 million that just disappeared. It is painful, indeed. Irene, who survived the Holocaust, was born in a poverty-stricken family, even though her father's lumber yard was able to sustain them. It is now up to you to check on this chapter so that you can gather more information about Irene and the other survivors. This book also elaborates and illustrates why this war started. Some put these reasons as mere conceptions, while others believe in them. The life of the survivors even became hell after the Holocaust, since keeping up with the situation proved horrific. Many went ahead to commit suicide. This book, Surviving the Holocaust, is an emotional book. It is filled with detailed content that you might require in your quest for knowing World War II. I cannot dwell on all the chapters here, but within the book, you will learn about the following: - Reasons that the Holocaust cannot fade - The effects of World War II - The misconceptions about the Holocaust And so much more.

'Victor Gregg is the most remarkable spokesman for the war generation' Dan Snow In Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut fictionalised his time as a prisoner of war in Dresden in 1945. Vonnegut was imprisoned in a cellar while the firestorm raged through the city, wiping out generations of innocent lives. Victor Gregg remained above ground throughout the firebombing. This is his true eyewitness account of that week in February 1945. Already a seasoned soldier with the Rifle Brigade, Gregg joined the 10th Parachute Regiment in 1944. He was captured at Arnhem where he volunteered to be sent to a work camp rather than become another faceless number in the huge POW camps. With two failed escape attempts under his belt, Gregg was eventually caught sabotaging a factory and sent to Dresden for execution. Before Gregg could be executed, the British Royal Air Force and the United States Army Air Forces dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on Dresden in four air raids over two days in February 1945. The resulting firestorm destroyed six square miles of the city centre. 25,000 people, mostly civilians, were estimated to have been killed. Post-war discussion of whether or not the attacks were justified has led to the bombing becoming one of the moral questions of the Second World War. In Gregg's first-hand narrative, personal and punchy, he describes the trauma and carnage of the Dresden bombing. After the raid, he spent five days helping to recover a city of innocent civilians, thousands of whom had died in the fire storm, trapped underground in human ovens. As order was restored, his life was once more in danger and he escaped to the east, spending the last weeks of the war with the Russians.

In 2004, Laurie Levinger left her home in Vermont for Guatemala, where she planned to teach English to Maya university students. But on the first day of class, Levinger became the student instead of the teacher when a young man named Fernando introduced himself by saying, "My father was killed when I was four months old. I am a survivor of the Guatemala civil war." Shocked, Levinger's first thought was, "What war?" Beginning in 1960, fighting between the Guatemalan military and guerrilla fighters raged across this Central American country. By 1980, this violence--which began with a CIA-backed coup and efforts by the United Fruit Company to protect its financial interests--turned into the massacre of Maya people in every corner of Guatemala. By the time peace accords were signed in 1996, over two hundred thousand Maya people had been murdered, "disappeared,"or forced into exile by their own government. Levinger's students had been young children when these atrocities were committed. Many lost their parents. Many had relatives who "disappeared." All had suffered the loss of their culture, their family ties, their sense of safety, their personal identities. As a clinical social worker, Levinger believes in the importance of bearing witness, of speaking the unspeakable out loud. After her initial trip, she returned to Guatemala, this time with a tape recorder and a mission: to record the testimonies of her students, to document their enduring love for their Maya culture, and to honor their unflagging search for truth. In What War? Levinger brings us stories, told in the spare and eloquent language of truth-tellers, reminding us all that the true cost of war is borne by the survivors. And so is the hope for peace.

Of the six million men who saw action during the First World War, fewer than 4,000 are still alive, all but a handful unknown to the wider world. Here many talk openly for the first time about their experiences, giving powerful first-hand testimony. The stories, moving and heart-breaking, funny and perceptive, tell of how a volunteer army went to war in 1914 and fought in the battles of Loos, the Somme and Passchendaele.

This book deals with the integration of thousands of survivors of the Holocaust into Israeli society in the early years of the new State's existence. Among the issues discussed are: the ways in which the survivors were recruited into the defence forces and the role they played in the War of Independence, the settlement of the immigrants in towns and villages abandoned by Arabs during the war and the immigrant youth.

A survivor begins an epic search for his wife through post-war Europe. Here is a memoir of the twentieth century’s greatest cataclysm, with a profound and illuminating difference. Casting light on the little-examined period of chaos immediately after World War II, it tells how, with unflagging courage and perseverence, one man and his wife recover freedom and individual dignity. The Aftermath was the inspiration for the international award-winning documentary, Dark Lullabies.
