        Reconstructing lives

        Victims of war in the Middle East and Médecins Sans Frontières

        by Vanja Kovacic

        This book attempts to establish a more holistic approach to the rehabilitation of war-injured civilians, one that adjusts to the patients' long-term needs. Kovacic not only offers an insight into the daily realities of patients during and after rehabilitation, but seeks to develop a new way to perceive, respect and involve them in health care. Based on comprehensive interviews with patients and MSF staff, as well as extended field observations, Reconstructing lives follows Syrian and Iraqi war-injured civilians in their journey to recovery. From their improvised medical treatment in their home countries, to the MSF-run hospital in Amman Jordan, to their return home, Kovacic explores how individuals attempt to pick up the pieces of their previous lives, add new elements from their treatment and travel experiences, and finally establish a new reconstructed reality. The book explores how the interaction between MSF staff and their patients contributes to the immense task of healing that awaits victims of war. The reader visits the intimate medical and domestic spaces that usually remain closed to the outside observer, spaces rich with human contact, perceptions, emotions, conflicts and reconciliations.

        War City Stories

        by Habib Ahmadzadeh

        "A soldier, after 11 years, wrote a letter to an Iraqi soldier, stating that their son, who had been a member of the Special Forces-23 of the Iraqi Presidential Guards, while escaping, was killed by their own forces and the Iranian soldier buried him, and he had saved the Iranian soldier while Iraqi forces were shooting. The stories of this book are all realistic and have been narrated in two ways: one is by quotation or in the form of a second singular, and the other is the first person sometimes expressed as a dramatic soliloquy. Another feature of some of these stories is that they are narrative. In these stories, humans are equal in terms of individuality and position on both sides of the war. Ahmadzadeh is trying to create people who, apart from the political ideas and military conditions that put them against each other, have chosen humanity in their bottlenecks to overcome this difficult path. In this collection, we have come up with a unique writing style by Ahmadzadeh; using short, but uninterrupted sentences that connect with each other using simple conjunctions. This writing style, with suspense and excitement, brings the reader. Stories have concepts and thoughts other than the apparent subject, and they contain a simple and fluent prose and language. Themes are the other outstanding points of these stories. Also, the titles of some of the stories are worth attention, like “Thirty Nine and One Internees” and “Eagle’s Feather”, which can clarify the story for a typical audience who has not understood the underlying layer of the story. One of the other privileges of these stories is the plot of the stories, which have turned into a script because of their strong idea.The book “War City Stories” contains 8 short stories and their titles are:Eagle's Feather - Airplane - Thirty-Nine and One Internees - Warrior Escape - A Letter to Saad's Family - If There Was Not Darya Gholi - I Will Endure the Weight of This Load to the End - The Letter to the Writer to the American Military and Their Response."

        Care Under Fire

        by Bill Strusinski

        For many surviving military veterans, the Vietnam War is an indelible part of their lives. That they survived is due in many cases to the heroic, life-saving actions of combat medics like Bill "Doc" Strusinski. Being a frontline medic was, and still is, one of the most dangerous jobs in the Army. Medics were targeted by the enemy and often called upon to aid fallen soldiers in the line of fire. In Strusinski's riveting book, Care Under Fire, Strusinski thrusts the reader squarely into moments of terror during firefights, the exhaustion of endless patrols, the anguish of losing buddies despite best efforts to save them, and the intimate bonds created during times of desperate need. This is a book about war, yes, but even more about how one man was transformed by his "sacred duty" to offer care under fire to the young soldiers he fought beside.

        Fremde Eltern. Zeitgeschichte in Tagebüchern und Briefen 1933–1945

        by Joachim Krause (Hg.)

        Explosive discovery in the attic: Long after the death of his parents (1995/2000) and 70 years after the early "heroic death" of his uncle, Joachim Krause finds almost 2000 letters that they wrote to each other between 1933 and 1945, plus a few diaries. Like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, the texts gradually give shape to their thinking, life and actions at the time. The three young people seek orientation and they argue - about National Socialism and the Jews, about the meaning of war and death, about sexual morals and questions of faith. The mother proves to be a fervent admirer of Hitler, the uncle a fanatical officer, only the father maintains a certain critical distance to National Socialist ideology. Her letters become authentic witnesses of contemporary history."Such unembellished voices from prehistoric times make us understand the world from which the world of today originates. We hear who our parents were before we knew them." (Christoph Dieckmann)

        What in the world do you know about war?!

        by Olha Kari

        It is a literary journalism collection about women’s experiences of war: life in occupation, evacuation, being a refuge or an internally displaced person, living near the front and in rear cities; these stories are of younger and older women, those with and without children, those with disabled children, elderly relatives, with pets — all to break the devaluation of contributions of women who were not in the military or front-line battles. These conversations are about challenges and emotions, depreciation of one’s suffering, domestic abuse, starting a new life abroad, loss of a home, generational retraumatization (as it is in the case of Armenian women whose families fleed genocide in Turkey, then Karabakh war, and now Donetsk). They are also about beauty routines, creative projects, emotional growth, women’s health, and hopes for the future.

        77 days of February. Ukraine between two symbolic dates of the Russian war ideology

        by Marichka Paplauskaite (Compiler), Authors: Inna Adrug, Anna Argirova, Kateryna Babkina, Tetyana Bezruk, Oleksandra Gorchynska, Inna Zolotukhina, Vera Kuriko, Olena Livytska, Olga Livytska, Svitlana Oslavska, Marichka Paplauskaite, Eva Raiska, Anya Semenyuk, Zoya Khramchenko, Margarita Chimyris, Iryna Yaroshynska

        As a child, she could not understand why people in films about the blockade of Leningrad were always lying down. And when Mariupol was besieged by the Russians, and she and her husband lived for many days without water, food and heat under constant shelling, she realized that when you lie down, you save strength and energy. "77 Days of February" included reports written by journalists of the Reporters media in the period between February 23 and May 9 — two symbolic dates for Russian military ideology. The invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine stopped the number of days and pushed Ukrainians back to the intervening time, where February — the month of the beginning of the great war — still lasts. In the meantime and in these candid stories, there is pain, fear, hatred, and sometimes despair. But the main thing is hope. This is a bare nerve and an honest voice of the new Ukrainian reality.

        The Torture Camp on Paradise Street

        by Stanislav Aseyev

        There is a prison operating in present-day Ukraine, where horrific torture techniques are being utilized. This prison is, in reality, a concentration camp, beyond whose fencing no laws reach. Life there is lived in humiliation, fear, and uncertainty. Wounds and burn marks cover bodies that are filled with pain from broken bones and, often too, broken wills. The principal tasks here are surviving after the desire to live has forsaken you and nothing in the world depends on you any longer, preserving your sanity as you teeter on the brink of madness, and remaining a human being in conditions so inhuman that faith, forgiveness, hate, and even a torturer locking eyes with his victim become laden with manifold meanings. The journalist Stanislav Aseyev, imprisoned in this torture camp on trumped-up charges of “espionage,” wrote this frank, emotional, and probing memoir in an attempt to both survive and recover from the hell he was cast into. He offers more questions than answers in this book, as testament to the fact that the lives of those released from the prison at 3 Paradise Street will forever remain divided into “pre-” and “post-.”

        Memories of Riga

        by Max Michelson

        A stirring and haunting personal account of the Soviet and German occupations of Latvia and of the Holocaust. Michelson had a serene boyhood in an upper middle-class Jewish family in Riga, Latvia at least until 1940, when the fifteen-year old Michelson witnessed the annexation of Latvia by the Soviet Union. Private properties were nationalised, and Stalin's terror spread to Soviet Latvia. Soon after, Michelson's family was torn apart by the 1941 Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. He quickly lost his entire family, while witnessing the unspeakable brutalities of war and genocide. Michelson's memoir is an ode to his lost family.

        Where the Rainbow Fell Down

        A raw and deeply moving memoir beginning in mid century New Zealand, Lynette Robinson battles to survive an upbringing profoundly impacted by poverty, family dysfunction and the Catholic Church.

        by Lynette Robinson

        WHERE THE RAINBOW FELL DOWN           Synopsis A memoir in two parts. The first half details the author’s life growing up in post-war New Zealand. Born into a dysfunctional NZ Catholic family with a disturbed mother, controlling father, and abusive step father, political and historical events help influence and shape her.  After leaving home to work at the age of 15, Robinson was coerced into marriage at 18 to a calculating, older man. She experiences years of marital unhappiness until she begins a career as a Marriage Guidance Counsellor, and finds unexpected love, joy and escape with a Catholic Priest.  During the second half of the story the priest’s tale unfolds. Brian is the only child of an introverted mother preoccupied with concealing her deformity, and a passive father who ‘went with the flow.’ As a young naïve man he was easily coerced into the priesthood and spent years of training in the Seminary where young men were conditioned and shaped for their role, their sexual natures suppressed, attitudes to women distorted, and their loyalty to the Church made absolute. Brian questioned all of this but continued. He then forms a relationship that challenges his Catholic conditioning and he determines to leave the priesthood. His struggle to escape the Church and the pressures placed on him to remain, test this relationship fully, but both remain firm.

        32 Postkarten / Post aus Nazi/Deutschland. Das Schicksal einer deutsch/jüdischen Familie aus Hamburg vor der Deportation

        Übersetzt von Paul Berf

        by Wächter, Torkel S.

        The German/Jewish grandparents of the author sent 32 postcards from Hamburg to their son Walter Wächter in Sweden between 1940 and 1941 – the last one was written imminently before their transportation to a concentration camp near Riga. The original documents collected here tell the dramatic story of a family from Hamburg. It is shown how the grandparents, Minna and Gustav Wächter, experienced the National Socialist seizure of power and what consequences this had for them and their three sons. They were denunciated, arrested and tortured. The sons were able to escape, but no one ever heard from the grandparents again after their deportation. Only two stumbling blocks in Eimsbüttel commemorate them. The author Torkel S. Wächter found the postcards in his father’s estate. He learnt German, spent time in archives and met people who were able to tell him the things he never asked his father about. He met relatives who he had never heard of and he realized that things, which were lost, do not have to stay lost forever. The 32 postcards are evidence for this and moreover a legacy for all of us.

        Friend Grief and the Military: Band of Friends

        by Victoria Noe

        “They were killing my friends.” That was how Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy justified his heroic actions in World War II. As long as there have been wars, men and women in the military have watched their friends die. Experts warn that delaying our grief will complicate our lives. But what about those who have no choice but to delay it until the battle is over? In Friend Grief and The Military: Band of Friends you’ll meet military and non-combatants who struggle with the grief and guilt of losing their friends. You’ll learn, too, in the amazing ways they help each other, that “leave no one behind” is a life-long commitment.
