"War is not women's history," Virginia Woolf observed. But when confronted with it, members of that sex have summoned levels of courage and resourcefulness to rival those of any military commander. In A Train In Winter, Caroline Moorehead focuses on a group of women worthy of particular awe, both for the bravery they demonstrated and the brutality they endured.
The शीर्षक refers to a vehicle that in January 1943 transported 230 women — all members of the French Resistance battling the German occupation of their country — to Nazi death camps. They ranged in age from 15 to 68, in occupation from scientists to housewives. Many had already लॉस्ट husbands, प्रेमी and other family members; द्वारा the end of World War II, only 49 of the female prisoners themselves remained.
Moorehead, a biographer and journalist noted for her emphasis on human rights, traces the lives and deaths of all her subjects with unswerving candor and compassion. The book is divided into two parts; the first is drier, carefully tracing the individual backgrounds of the women (most of whom were not Jewish) and the circumstances that led them to risk so much. Committed communists and Gaullists and naïve schoolgirls use their wits, and occasionally their charms, to defy the Germans and their Vichy collaborators. They प्रकाशित करे anti-Nazi writings, carry messages and weapons and help Jews to safety, even as conditions grow और treacherous.
The सेकंड part follows the women through their time in the camps and its aftermath, and is not for the faint of heart. Children are torn from mothers and ripped apart द्वारा dogs; all manner of sickness and squalor is recounted in excruciating detail. The fierce camaraderie that sustains the women is captured just as vividly, but there are no real happy endings; even the survivors emerge physically and psychologically ravaged.
Still, A Train In Winter is reassuring for what it reveals about the resilience of the human spirit. In Moorehead's telling, neither evil nor good is banal; and if the latter doesn't always triumph, it certainly inspires.

Since everyone was so positive about my last article, I decided to make it a series of sorts. Different themes, maybe one लेख a month. I am 23 and I still प्यार all of the following books. People can enjoy them at any age, but these are especially great ones for kids and teens. There were so many to choose from, so I apologize that I had to leave out so many of my favorites. Let's all recapture youth! As always, these are in no particular order.

1. The Neverending Story द्वारा Michael Ende

Chapter 1
“How would आप describe me Lilly?” I asked.
“Paula, you’re a very smart and unique person. But also mysterious. In a good way.” She replied.
“How am I mysterious? I mean, I never thought of myself that way.”
“Because you’re always so quiet around people. Not around me, of course. It’s like आप shut yourself down completely, like आप don’t want them to know who आप are.”
