  Paul Robeson’s resounding bass-baritone voice captivated audiences, especially when singing the spirituals he had heard at church and folk songs he had gathered from many countries. But Robeson was more than an interpreter of song. He was passionate about the injustices found in the United States and throughout the world and refused to keep quiet. As a stage and film actor, he fought against stereotypical roles and widespread racism. Labeled a communist during the height of the Cold War, Robeson was stripped of his U.S. passport and found himself unable to earn a living. But Robeson never gave up or  
  gave in. 
   
  Acclaimed nonfiction writer Susan Goldman Rubin conducted extensive research, visiting key Robeson sites and working with noted Robeson scholars, to bring to life one of the most important voices in American history.

  The Dachau Nazi Trial - The...

  During the postwar years, the United States initiated a comprehensive trial program in Germany to address Nazi crimes. This program included three main sets of trials: the International Military Trial at Nuremberg, the Nuremberg Military Tribunals, and trials conducted at the Dachau concentration camp. The Dachau trials focused on prosecuting individuals involved in atrocities at several camps liberated by American forces, such as Dachau, Mauthausen, Buchenwald, Flossenbürg, and Dora-Mittelbau. 
  These trials were a critical effort by the United States to punish Nazi crimes within the concentration camps. Over 1,000 defendants were tried at Dachau for violating the laws of war, as defined by international and American military norms. The legal process faced challenges due to the unprecedented nature of the crimes. A notable innovation in the Dachau trials was the use of a criminal conspiracy charge, which accused defendants of participating in the standard criminal design of the concentration camp system as a criminal organization. 
  However, after 1947 and 1948, issues arose due to inadequate planning for the trials' aftermath, particularly regarding the appellate process for convicted individuals. This became more pressing amid escalating tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. Two scandals drew public attention, leading to official investigations by the U.S. Congress into the Dachau tribunal program. 
  While the reviews were critical of the Army's handling of clemency, they largely praised the trials themselves. Despite this, over time, the Dachau trials faded from public memory.

  Monks have understood that truely lasting happiness comes irrespective of material goods, comforts and commodities. Eventually, spiritual happiness (ananda) comes from the soul, part and parcel of God. The mind in this respect is like a wild lion, which is dangerous to encounter. One might be killed and eaten up by the obstinate mind, but there is hope, because the mind can be tamed. This is possible through suitable practice and detachment. “For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.” (BG. 6.6) In this book a thought-provoking path is presented to 1) establish a spiritual connection with the Absolute Truth, 2) to channel emotions, thoughts and ecstasies through this connection 3) to bring about a revolution in one's boring and stagnant material life and 4) to reawaken spiritual love for God. In due course of this book we will explore the greatest service to humanity that is described in the scriptures as bhakti-yoga. This ancient science is aimed to establish a mindset of deep thinking and profound spiritual understanding. Simultaneously, one becomes tuned to the greatest ability that is to manage life and death, respectively. “One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries or elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.” (Bhagavad-Gītā 2.56) We are aware, that not everyone is yet ready to fully surrender to this practice, however, we are assured that everyone can practice Bhakti-Yoga and establish the principles which have been mindfully cultivated by monks throughout the ages. The Monk's Mindset will be duly presented so that even a child can understand it.
