August 25, 1943. A lone bicyclist transports a cache of explosives, hidden in a beer crate, to a Copenhagen hall being readied to house German troops. In a violent blast, the would-be barracks is reduced to rubble. It's the boldest act yet of Holger Danske and the growing Danish resistance combating the oppressiveness of Hitler's Reich. In 1940, on its way to conquering Western Europe, Germany coerced the Danish government into a "cooperative" agreement that lasted three long years until the increasing brazenness of the Resistance movement prompted a crackdown. Denmark's nearly 8000 Jews, who had so far been spared Hitler's wrath, now became the focus of his rage. A roundup was ordered to begin on October 1st, 1943, the first day of the Jewish New Year. The only passage to safety was across the Oresund to Sweden. But no group existed to organize an escape. Until the last moment, Sweden didn’t agree to allow the refugees into the country; and the strait between the two nations was swarming with Gestapo. What happened next was a miracle. 95% of Denmark's Jews survived the Holocaust, the highest percentage in Europe. Here are the riveting true accounts of ordinary Danes who, using their modest resources, wiles, remarkable courage, and camaraderie, quietly orchestrated their escape.Voir livre

A psychotherapist and hit podcaster brings empathy and humor to her first book, a radical reimagining of the self-help genre that teaches readers how to “process their emotional sh*t,” let it go, and enjoy the life they’re living After suffering through her own cycle of tragedy, suppressed emotion, professional study, therapy, and eventual breakthrough, Rachel Kaplan knows from experience that many of us avoid actually feeling our feelings. Instead, we store them in a kind of emotional constipation, chasing distraction, addiction, consumption, and other forms of suppression. The only way to heal from traumatic experiences and difficult feelings, to live healthier and happier lives, is to move the emotions through our bodies—to let that sh*t go. Heal, Feel, and Let That Sh*t Go is a revolutionary and irreverent approach to personal transformation and self-care that teaches readers precisely how to (and why they should) feel emotions to move them through the body as nature intended. Kaplan calls this modality “emotional potty training,” and the revolutionary community she’s nurturing, the Feelings Movement. Her approach helps readers heal themselves deep down, eliminate doubt about their own self-worth and value, and importantly, enjoy the journey. To accomplish this, Kaplan guides readers to: • reconnect and reintegrate with their younger selves who suppressed emotion because they needed connection and approval from parents in order to survive • access the inner pain resulting from the experience of feeling unlovable and other traumas that were not emotionally processed at the time • engage in self-care practices and step-by-step physical and mental exercises to work through and release these pent-up feelings Restoring the ability to process emotion is the only effective means for reducing our backlog of emotional pain, establishing a baseline of well-being and self-trust, and overcoming the debilitating effects of core wounds, chronic stress, depression, and misery. By letting that sh*t go, readers can enjoy the life they’re living and know their worth, no matter what.Voir livre
