  My Mameleh: A Memoir

  Mariette Goldberg

  It was late, dark and cold. The little band of travelers were huddled together on the bench of an old train hoping to escape the tightening Nazi noose. Suddenly, they heard the conductor’s loud voice, “Vos papiers, s'il vous plaît!” (Papers, please!). My mother’s identity card had been stamped not once, but twice with the word, “Juif.” She knew that her life and that of her friends now rested in the palms of a stranger, a government official whose job it was to hand them over to the Germans.  
   
  This is one of the many miraculous escapes found throughout this book. It is a story of survival, not just from the Holocaust, but from old world poverty, broken love and a tenuous peace in order to finally achieve the “American Dream.”

  State of the Union 1987

  The 1987 State of the Union Address delivered January 27, 1987, in the 200th anniversary year of the U.S. Constitution, notes dramatic improvements in the inflation rate, interest rates, housing starts, and the unemployment rate. Reagan regrets the Iran-Contra controversy and promises to get to the bottom of it and take whatever action is called for. 
  Though the Soviets transferred $75 billion in weapons to client-states like Syria, Vietnam, Cuba, Libya, Angola, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and Nicaragua, the Congress cut administration requests for security assistance and defense. There “is no surer way to lose freedom than to lose our resolve.” As President Truman said: “International communism seeks to crush and undermine and destroy the independence of the Americas. We cannot let that happen here.” 
  Our Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI, “is the most positive and promising defense program we have undertaken. It's the path, for both sides, to a safer future -- a system that defends human life instead of threatening it.” 
  We support free trade and “expanding peaceful commerce across the world.” We remain opposed as ever to protectionism…” 
  The “federal deficit is outrageous.” We need “a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced budget”. We need “a line-item veto so we can carve out the boondoggles and pork…” “We have deficits because big government spends too much.” 
  The U.S. Constitution “grew out of the most fundamental inspiration of our existence: that we are here to serve Him by living free -- that living free releases in us the noblest of impulses and the best of our abilities; that we would use these gifts for good and generous purposes and would secure them not just for ourselves and for our children but for all mankind.”

  The Great Famine of 1789-1792 -...

  The Great Famine of 1789-1792 stands as one of the most significant preconditions to the French Revolution. It was a period marked by widespread food scarcity, severe hunger, and social unrest. Although the famine itself was a direct consequence of several intertwined factors, it was also the tipping point that exposed the deep flaws within the French system of governance and society. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the famine, exploring its causes, the impact on the population, and the broader societal repercussions that contributed to the revolutionary atmosphere of the late 18th century. 
  At the heart of the famine was a series of poor harvests in France, exacerbated by harsh weather conditions. The years 1788 and 1789 saw a succession of bad weather, including a particularly harsh winter, followed by storms and a devastating hailstorm that destroyed much of the grain crops. These climatic anomalies caused a dramatic reduction in the food supply, especially in the vital grain harvests. With bread being the staple food for the majority of the population, the shortages led to skyrocketing prices. As bread became unaffordable for many, hunger spread rapidly, and it wasn’t just the peasantry but even urban dwellers who felt the pinch. 
  This agricultural crisis was further compounded by the weak response of the French monarchy and its institutions. King Louis XVI and his ministers were largely ineffective in addressing the immediate needs of the people. The government, which was already burdened by war debts and an inefficient taxation system, failed to ensure that food distribution was prioritized. The monarchy’s inability to manage the crisis led to widespread dissatisfaction and eroded any remaining faith the people had in their rulers.

  Fort Stoddert - American...

  For nearly fifteen years, Fort Stoddert stood as a tangible symbol of America’s push to assert control over a critical frontier region. Situated on the banks of the Mobile River—about thirty miles north of the city of Mobile—near what was then the border between the United States and Spanish West Florida, the fort was established in 1799 and abandoned not long after the Creek War of 1813–14. Though its existence was brief, Fort Stoddert became a focal point for numerous key developments in the early American history of southwest Alabama. It served as the administrative center for a newly acquired territory, a strategic hub for international diplomacy, a vital link in the emerging national transportation and communication network, a launching point for American settlement and expansion, and a cornerstone in the military defense strategy for the Mississippi Territory. Despite its remarkable significance, no comprehensive history of the fort has ever been written—until now. This book uses Fort Stoddert and its pivotal role in shaping the region as a lens to explore a formative era in the development and organization of one of Alabama’s earliest American-held areas.
