Deportationszug nach Auschwitz Author: Marion Schreiber Narrator: Lisa Rauen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 22 minutes Release date: May 30, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: Mut kennt kein Kalkül: Der Überfall auf den 20. Deportationszug nach Auschwitz. Am 19. April 1943 stoppen drei junge Männer einen Zug, der 1.618 Juden vom belgischen Sammellager Mechelen nach Auschwitz transportiert. Ausgerüstet mit drei Zangen, einer mit rotem Papier beklebten Sturmleuchte sowie einer Pistole, führen Youra Livchitz, Jean Franklemon und Robert Maistriau einen Plan aus, den jüdische Widerständler erdacht, bewaffnete Partisanen aber als zu riskant verworfen hatten. Sie befreien 17 Männer und Frauen, dann eröffnen die deutschen Bewacher das Feuer. Bis der 20. Konvoi die deutsche Grenze erreicht, können weitere 225 Insassen fliehen. Während der Besatzung haben viele Belgier aus allen sozialen Schichten Juden vor der SS geschützt, gefälschte Pässe besorgt, Unterkunft oder Arbeit gewährt, Kinder versteckt. Neben Menschlichkeit und Mut gedeiht Verrat: Mit Hilfe von Spitzeln kann die Gestapo Widerstandsgruppen und Juden festnehmen. Youra, der als Kind mit seiner Mutter und seinem älteren Bruder Alexandre nach Brüssel immigriert war, vielseitig begabt, grüblerisch, lebenshungrig ist und die Frauen fasziniert, wird denunziert, gefoltert und im Februar 1944 erschossen. Auch Robert und Jean werden festgenommen, überleben aber die Haft im Konzentrationslager. Das Buch beruht auf privaten Dokumenten, Archivakten und Polizeiberichten, Recherchen und Interviews, darunter Gesprächen mit sechs Zeitzeugen, die aus dem 20. Konvoi fliehen konnten. Sie verschweigen weder Verzweiflung noch Ohnmacht und Trauer, dennoch stärken ihre Erfahrungen Zuversicht und Lebensmut. Paul Spiegel, ehemaliger Vorsitzender des Zentralrats der Juden in Deutschland, berichtet im Vorwort über das Schicksal seiner Familie, die in Belgien ein Versteck gefunden hatte, wo sie den Holocaust zu überleben versuchte.

Title: The Unvanquished: The Untold Story of Lincoln's Special Forces, the Manhunt for Mosby's Rangers, and the Shadow War That Forged America's Special Operations Author: Patrick K. O'donnell Narrator: Fred Sanders Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 56 minutes Release date: May 7, 2024 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.67 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: From the bestselling author of The Indispensables, the unknown and dramatic story of irregular guerrilla warfare that altered the course of the Civil War and inspired the origins of America’s modern special operations forces. The Civil War is most remembered for the grand battles that have come to define it: Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, among others. However, as bestselling author Patrick K. O’Donnell reveals in The Unvanquished, a vital shadow war raged amid and away from the major battlefields that was in many ways equally consequential to the conflict’s outcome. At the heart of this groundbreaking narrative is the epic story of Lincoln’s special forces, the Jessie Scouts, told in its entirety for the first time. In a contest fought between irregular units, the Scouts hunted John Singleton Mosby’s Confederate Rangers from the middle of 1863 up to war’s end at Appomattox. With both sides employing pioneering tradecraft, they engaged in dozens of raids and spy missions, often perilously wearing the other’s uniform, risking penalty of death if captured. Clashing violently on horseback, the unconventional units attacked critical supply lines, often capturing or killing high-value targets. North and South deployed special operations that could have changed the war’s direction in 1864, and crucially during the Appomattox Campaign, Jessie Scouts led the Union Army to a final victory. They later engaged in a history-altering proxy war against France in Mexico, earning seven Medals of Honor; many Scouts mysteriously disappeared during that conflict, taking their stories to their graves. An expert on special operations, O’Donnell transports listeners into the action, immersing them in vivid battle scenes from previously unpublished firsthand accounts. He introduces indelible characters such as Scout Archibald Rowand; Scout leader Richard Blazer; Mosby, the master of guerrilla warfare; and enslaved spy Thomas Laws. O’Donnell also brings to light the Confederate Secret Service’s covert efforts to deliver the 1864 election to Peace Democrats through ballot fraud, election interference, and attempts to destabilize a population fatigued by a seemingly forever war. Most audaciously, the Secret Service and Mosby’s Rangers planned to kidnap Abraham Lincoln in order to maintain the South’s independence. A little-known chronicle of the shadow war between North and South, rich in action and offering original perspective on history, The Unvanquished is a dynamic and essential addition to the literature of the Civil War.

Title: A Rare Recording of Astrophysicist Carl Sagan Discussing Planet Earth Author: Carl Sagan Narrator: Carl Sagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 0 hours 59 minutes Release date: March 8, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 - December 20, 1996), born in Brooklyn, NY, was an American astronomer and astrophysicist. His best-known scientific contribution was his research on the possibility of extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by exposure to light.

Title: The Radical in Ambedkar: Critical Reflections Author: Suraj Yengde, Anand Teltumbde Narrator: Rajiv Dadia Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 19 hours 2 minutes Release date: March 19, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: This landmark volume, edited and introduced by Anand Teltumbde and Suraj Yengde, establishes B.R. Ambedkar as the most powerful advocate of equality and fraternity in modern India. While the vibrant Dalit movement recognizes Ambedkar as an agent for social change, the intellectual class has celebrated him as the key architect of the Indian Constitution and the political establishment has sought to limit his concerns to the question of reservations. This remarkable volume seeks to unpack the radical in Ambedkar's legacy by examining his life work from hitherto unexplored perspectives.Although revered by millions today primarily as a Dalit icon, Ambedkar was a serious scholar of India's history, society and foreign policy. He was also among the first dedicated human rights lawyers, as well as a journalist and a statesman. Critically evaluating his thought and work, the essays in this book-by Jean Drèze, Partha Chatterjee, Sukhadeo Thorat, Manu Bhagavan, Anupama Rao and other internationally renowned names-discuss Ambedkar's theory on minority rights, the consequences of the mass conversion of Dalits to Buddhism, Dalit oppression in the context of racism and anti-Semitism, and the value of his thought for Marxism and feminism, among other global concerns.An extraordinary collection of immense breadth and scholarship that challenges the popular understanding of Ambedkar, The Radical in Ambedkar is essential reading for all those who wish to imagine a new future.

Title: Vertigo: The Rise and Fall of Weimar Germany Author: Harald Jähner Narrator: Sam Peter Jackson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 14 hours 17 minutes Release date: September 3, 2024 Genres: World Publisher's Summary: The dramatic and consequential history of Germany’s short-lived experiment with democracy between the world wars, when vibrant cultural experimentation collided with political and economic turmoil Out of the ashes of the First World War, Germany launched an unprecedented political project: its first democratic government. The Weimar Republic, named for the city where it was established, endured for only fifteen years before it was toppled by the insurgent Nazi Party in 1933. In Vertigo, prizewinning historian Harald Jähner tells the Republic’s full story, capturing a nation caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty and struggling toward a better future.     In the aftermath of World War I, Germany was buffeted by political partisanship, economic upheaval, and the constant threat of revolutionary violence. At the same time, many Germans embraced newly liberated lifestyles. They flouted gender norms, flooded racetracks and dance halls, and fostered a vibrant avant-garde that encompassed groundbreaking artists like filmmaker Fritz Lang, painter Wassily Kandinsky, and architect Walter Gropius. But this new Germany sparked a reactionary backlash that led to the Republic’s fall to the Nazis and, ultimately, the conflagration of World War II.     Blending deeply researched political history with the firsthand experiences of everyday people, Vertigo is a vital, kaleidoscopic portrait of a pivotal moment in German history.
