Paperback. Zustand: Good. Paula's Window: Papa, the Bielski Partisans, and A Life Unexpected is the gripping Holocaust memoir of a Jewish girl's waking nightmare in a world gone mad and hope regained in the ashes. Artist Paula Burger's carefree childhood in Novogrudek, Poland, exploded when the Nazis occupied the town in July of 1941. Paula and her family evaded the round ups and executions of thousands of Jews until 1942, when they were discovered by the Germans and forced inside the ghetto, a holding pen of death. Her father eventually escaped and joined the Bielski Partisans in the Naliboki Forest, where he planned to bring his family. One of their neighbors got wind of his activities and informed on him to the Nazis. Unable to locate Paula's father, the Nazis took her mother away and interrogated her at official headquarters. She told them her husband had disappeared, and denied having children. The Nazis arrested her. Six weeks later, on Yom Kippur, 1942, she was killed. Paula never had a chance to say goodbye. As soon as Paula's father learned of his wife's fate, he realized his daughter and son were next. He arranged to smuggle them out of the ghetto and brought them to their new home with the Bielski Partisans in the Naliboki Forest. But no one was safe, especially the children. One night Paula overheard the awful truth: If anything ever happened to her father, his children were expendable. I loved my father more than life, Paula writes. And I knew, one way or another, my life ended with his. Ever since I heard people talking about my brother and me around the campfire, I carried this secret like a bullet in my soul . . . The Bielskis could not risk the lives of hundreds of Jews to save two children. After Mama was killed, I wanted to give up, she writes. When Papa disappeared for weeks in the forest, I willed myself to die. I guess death didn't want me. Like the snowflakes of my childhood, we swirl, struggle, collapse - but as long as we breathe, we are commanded to live. Paula's Window, written by Paula Burger and Andrea Jacobs, is a haunting chronicle of crushing inhumanity and the tenacity of human love. After reading this book, you will never forget what must be remembered.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In the summer of 1993, Tom Hollar lost his life when he was pulled from his car and shot twice. He had been leading a life that emulated Denver's hip culture at the time. He and his wife, Christina, owned and operated the punk skateboard and clothing/accessories store, iMiJimi on 13th Avenue. His death and his wife's beating and abduction were random acts of violence that resonate with us even now, as our nation tries to understand the increase in random murders. Tom's murder and trial coincided with a new era for Denver and the summer of his death was called the Summer of Violence. The roles of Denver's then mayor, Wellington Webb and its Chief Deputy District Attorney, Craig Silverman, as well as police and media representatives are detailed in the section covering the murder and the trial. Whether you have experienced the loss of a loved one to an act of violence or not, you will more completely understand the extreme situations the families and friends of the victim go through during the legal processes hoping for justice. Now you can read about this pivotal event for the Denver community in the just released book When Tom Went West. Written by Nedra Downing, Tom's mother (a physician and pharmacist) it chronicles Tom's life in Michigan and Denver and the details leading to the trial in May and June 1994 of the two perpetrators who were successfully brought to justice. Also included are over 90 photos and dozens of poems written by the author to help her live through the most difficult experience a parent can have. …
