Protective Custody: Prisoner 34042

by Susan Cernyak-Spatz

Susan Cernyak-Spatz was born in Vienna in 1922. In the following twenty-three years she experienced many of the terrors of her fellow European Jews: early Nazi oppression in Berlin; post-“Anschluss” Vienna; Nazi occupied Prague; and deportation to Theresienstadt in 1942. But the true horrors of the Nazi “Final Solution” awaited her in Birkenau, the woman’s camp in Auschwitz where she survived her internment, beginning in January, 1943, for two years. These months of hell were followed by a “Death March” and incarceration in Ravensbrück from which she and a group of fellow inmates walked away to freedom. As Professor Emerita in German literature at UNC-Charlotte, Dr. Cernyak-Spatz continues to teach and to lecture about the Holocaust. This book is a rare firsthand testamen...

Killer Files: The Killing Machine

by John Humphrey

In 1984 in South Florida, a rapist and murderer was on the loose. The killer was a ruthless and terrifying predator—the newest member of the infamous group known as serial killers. He kills just for the sake of it, and although his acts at first seem random, his choice of victims is fiercely selective; a woman’s occupation or even her hairstyle may be enough to make her a target. It takes time, at least 2 kills, before the pattern emerges. The serial killer’s world is a delicate balance. On one side, there’s the threat of capture. On the other is his overwhelming need to publicize his crime....

The Wrong Man: Who Ordered the Murder of Gambler Herman Rosenthal and Why

by Joe Bruno, Marc Maturo and Nitro Covers

2012 is the 100-year anniversary of the murder of small-time gambler Herman Rosenthal - the most celebrated murder of its time. Make no mistake, there are no good guys here; no innocent victims. The fact is Bald Jack Rose, a well-known New York City criminal, framed crooked New York City police lieutenant - Charles Becker - for the killing of stool pigeon Herman Rosenthal. People in the underworld cheered the death of Rosenthal; he was disliked that much. But that doesn't negate the fact that the wrong man sat in Sing Sing's electric chair for ordering Rosenthal's murder, while the man who framed Becker - and orchestrated the murder of Rosenthal himself - walked away a free man. "The Wrong Man" explains how this all happened, and who benefited from Becker's conviction and execution. Y...

Jack the Ripper - Through the Mists of Time

by Peter Hodgson

Over a century ago a series of shocking mutilation murders took place in a squalid, overcrowded district of Victorian London. Five women fell victim to a man driven by rage and violent fantasy. The newspapers of the day gave him a chilling nickname, a name that evokes images of gas-lit foggy streets and a top-hatted sinister figure carrying a Gladstone bag. From the outset, the murderer attained almost mythical status merely by virtue of his name and his uncanny ability to avoid detection. The legend of Jack the Ripper was born. Peter Hodgson’s detailed and entertaining overview of Ripper lore in fact, film and fiction analyses the fiend’s awesome legacy. He explores the institutions and the individuals: the Jewish community and their rituals with meat, the scandal-prone royal fami...

The Life and Prayers of Saint Mary

It is difficult in this day and age to imagine Christianity without the beneficent presence of the Blessed Virgin. Next to Christ, of all those who grace the pages of the New Testament, Mary is perhaps the one who touches us the most. Her motherly love often allows even the doubting to approach her. Her story – an unprepared teenage girl, charged with a daunting task and the scorn of her community, raising a son knowing always that she cannot protect him from the fate that will rob her of him – elicits our empathy. She inspires not only devotion and meditation, having mysteries and ritual of her own, but also song and poetry....

If you want to learn about one of history's greatest military commanders and uncover some of his secrets of drive--drive that enabled him and his small army to first subdue all of Greece and then the mighty Persian Empire--then you want to read this book. Some people like to think that geniuses are so inherently extraordinary that they navigate their journeys with clairvoyant ease. This simply isn't true. Greatness does not come lightly. It requires that you make sacrifices of time, interests, and--sometimes--possessions. The further you move toward greatness, the more greatness demands from you. But all barriers yield to one mythical quality: drive. The will to persist and overcome. To never give up. To never accept defeat. Few stories better illustrate this better than the life o...

The Cwmgoody Murder

by Gordon Boath

In 1848 on a cold and moonlit November morning, at the farmyard of Cwmgoody three miles from Brecon in Wales, seventeen-year-old Thomas Williams calmly picked up an axe and drove it into the head of his fellow servant Thomas Edwards. This is the true story of that day and the ramifications, both legal and otherwise that led on from that grisly event, the public response and subsequent manhunt, and the eventual capture, trial and execution of the young murderer. It was noted in the newspapers of the time that: “No case has ever occurred in which so much has been done to attract the attention of the police and the authorities all over the kingdom”. It is a fascinating account of the criminal and legal system of the time in Victorian England and Wales. Incidental characters that are...

Getting Past Coetzee

by Hedley Twidle

Ten years ago, I was commissioned by a famous poet-editor to write a profile of Coetzee for a London review. At the time, the offer was a big break, and could have led to great things. I was fresh out of university and the editor was high-up at Faber and Faber, a talent scout for The New Yorker. But it never got written. Instead of providing a controlled and judicious survey of the oeuvre, I found myself obsessed by minor details on the outskirts of his work. The grim memoir Youth had just appeared and I wrote at length about the stockings full of clotting cheese that young "John" hangs up in his kitchen - proof of his extreme thriftiness, in life as in prose. The fish fingers that he fries in olive oil in a London garret, trying to emulate the Mediterranean diet of Ford Madox Ford: th...
