  Startling new insights into the JFK assassination 
  In Killing Kennedy: Exposing the Plot, the Cover-Up, and the Consequences, author Jack Roth interviews researchers, scholars, eyewitnesses, and family members of those who were part of the tangled web of US intelligence operations associated with the Cold War and the circumstances surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The author asks important questions, including why the assassination still matters today and what the lasting ripple effects have been since that fateful day. 
   The Kennedy assassination represents one of the most impactful events in not only American but also world history, and this book represents an important addendum to understanding its enduring significance. On November 22, 1963, the duly elected president of the United States was murdered in cold blood, forever destroying “Camelot” and national optimism for world peace. 
   Gleaning a “people’s history” of the assassination through dozens of insightful and heartfelt interviews, Roth presents a riveting narrative by creating a respectful, well-crafted, and emotionally charged book from which both older and younger generations will gain a greater understanding of our nation’s history and current status in the modern world.

  One Woman’s Remarkable Escape from Nazi Germany 
  The peaceful farm life of a teenage girl in Germany is abruptly upended when WWII comes knocking at her family’s door. One month before her sixteenth birthday, Mildred “Mickchen” Schindler and her family are captured by Russian Soldiers. Having already survived life in Hitler’s Nazi Germany, they now face the terror of a new enemy—Stalin’s Red Army. 
  Driven from their home, Mildred and her family become refugees along with a sad, slow-moving caravan of other families who have suffered the same fate.

Her father has already been taken by Russian soldiers, and now she is taken from her mother and brother. 
  Mildred recounts, in meticulous detail, her treacherous journey and the roller coaster of raw emotions she experiences —fear, regret, loneliness, humility, perseverance, and defiance. Mildred’s odyssey of making her way home and finding her family in a war-torn countryside takes many riveting twists and turns. The discovery of a secret, hidden document offers hope for a brighter future. 
  From harrowing to heartwarming, this memoir provides a unique perspective of a Gentile girl’s road to resilience and her fortitude against all odds to forge a life filled with love and laughter. 
  Surviving Hitler, Evading Stalin is a remarkable testimony to the strength of the unconquerable human spirit and an endearing account of God’s faithfulness in the midst of faithless circumstances.

  Brainwashing - Forcibly Changing...

  Cito Harder

  Brainwashing is a process that manipulates an individual’s thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions, often without their conscious awareness. It is rooted in psychological principles that exploit the way the human mind processes information, reacts to stress, and seeks social belonging. By systematically breaking down existing thought patterns and replacing them with new ones, brainwashing can reshape an individual’s identity, morality, and loyalty. Understanding the psychology behind this phenomenon reveals why it is so effective and why some people are more susceptible than others. 
  At its core, brainwashing relies on cognitive dissonance, a psychological state that occurs when a person holds conflicting beliefs or values. When subjected to persistent pressure, individuals experience discomfort and seek to resolve the inconsistency. This vulnerability makes them more likely to accept new ideas, especially if rejecting them would lead to further psychological distress. Manipulators use this to their advantage, gradually shifting a person’s perception by presenting them with controlled information while isolating them from opposing viewpoints. Over time, the person internalizes the new ideology, often without realizing they have been influenced. 
  Another key psychological mechanism in brainwashing is the use of repetition. The more frequently an idea is presented, the more familiar and acceptable it becomes. Studies in cognitive psychology suggest that repeated exposure to a particular message strengthens neural pathways, making certain thoughts or beliefs more automatic. This is why propaganda, advertising, and even extremist ideologies rely heavily on repetition—constant reinforcement solidifies the desired mindset. The brain, overwhelmed by a lack of alternative perspectives, begins to default to the new beliefs as truth.

  Expert guidance for living a longer, healthier, more meaningful second half of life. 
   
   
   
  Americans are now living decades longer than previous generations. These added years offer exciting possibilities but also raise crucial questions. In her groundbreaking book, Debra Whitman provides a roadmap for navigating, and celebrating, the second half of life. Drawing on compelling stories from her own family and people across the country, interviews with experts, and cutting-edge research, she shares insights on brain health, the contributions and concerns of an older workforce, caregiving, financing retirement, and more. Her findings are often surprising: Americans over fifty are a boon to—not a drain on—the economy. Dementia rates have actually been declining as more people achieve higher levels of education and adopt healthier lifestyles. And while we've long known that staying connected to others is critical to mental health, it turns out it is also linked to a stronger immune system, lower blood pressure, and a longer life. 
   
   
   
  Whitman presents practical steps we can take to help create a better second fifty for ourselves. But we can't do it alone. Whitman also calls for urgently needed changes that would make it easier for every American to enjoy a vital and meaningful second half of life.
