Hitler's Crime Fighter - The extraordinary life of Konrad Morgen

David Lee

Synopsis

Nazi Germany, June 1943, Buchenwald concentration camp. The last place you'd expect to find any form of justice. And yet justice against the SS men who brutalised the prisoners here would be attempted by the unlikeliest of sources – SS officer Konrad Morgen.
Nazi Germany, despite the atrocities it carried out on an industrial scale, still had legislation and a legal system, and Morgen used these laws to bring individual members of the SS to justice for their crimes. He was a fearless investigating judge and police official, and when he crossed swords with more powerful forces inside the SS, he was demoted and sent by Heinrich Himmler himself to the Eastern Front as an ordinary soldier in the Waffen SS.
But Morgen's skills were still required and he returned to launch a series of criminal investigations in various concentration camps, including Buchenwald. As a direct result of his work, two concentration camp commandants were shot before the end of the war and he arrested three others. Targets of his investigations included Adolf Eichmann, one of the architects of the Holocaust, and Rudolf Höss, the infamous commandant of Auschwitz.
Described by historian John Toland as 'the man who did the most to hinder the atrocities in the East', Konrad Morgen pursued Nazi Germany's worst murderers from inside the SS. This is his incredible true story.

Presence and Pleasure - The Funk...

Anne Danielsen

Winner of the 2007 Irving Lowens Book Award from the Society for American MusicWinner of IASPM's 2007 International Book AwardIn this exploration of the funk groove and its unique sounds, author Anne Danielsen takes an in-depth look at this under-explored genre. Danielsen concentrates on the golden age of funk in the late 1960s and the 1970s, focusing on two of the era's artists who made a substantial impact on the landscape of popular music: James Brown and George Clinton/Parliament. Aiming to understand funk not only as objectified musical meaning but also as lived experience, she begins with the musical events themselves and draws on her experiences as both a fan and a scholar to capture how their particular organization creates the funk listener's pleasure. Danielsen further examines issues surrounding race in the construction and consumption of this music, focusing her study with how white listeners responded to funk in the 1970s, and arguing that African American music has remained a means of catharsis and of dealing with pleasures of the body. Funk's crossover to international success among listeners of pop and rock music affected both the music itself and audiences' understanding of it. Presence and Pleasure shows us how.

The Shocking Truth about Child...

Zoey Fraisers

Child labor remains one of the most pressing issues worldwide, with millions of children still engaged in work that deprives them of their childhood, education, and basic rights. Despite global efforts to end the practice, child labor persists across many parts of the world, particularly in regions where poverty, lack of education, and weak legal enforcement create an environment where children are forced to work instead of attending school.
The term "child labor" refers to the exploitation of children through any form of work that deprives them of their childhood, potential, and dignity, and that harms their physical and mental development. It is often associated with work that is dangerous, physically demanding, or otherwise unsuitable for children. These children, sometimes as young as five or six, are employed in a wide range of industries, including agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and domestic labor.
Historically, child labor was a common practice during the Industrial Revolution, where children were seen as a cheap source of labor. However, as industrialized nations implemented laws and regulations to protect children, the issue seemed to fade in many parts of the developed world. Unfortunately, this progress has not been mirrored in many developing nations, where children continue to be exploited for economic gain. Global estimates suggest that over 150 million children worldwide are engaged in child labor, with a significant portion working in hazardous conditions.
