  Churchill's German Special...

  The existence of German-speaking units fighting for the Allied cause during WW2 has remained largely a well-kept secret. But seventy-five years on these units' contribution to victory needs to be fully acknowledged. 
   
   
   
  Prime Minister Winston Churchill had no qualms about using native German speakers from Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Germany itself. The majority were Jews who had fled persecution. 
   
   
   
  Two examples of these secret units were X Troop Commandos and the Special Interrogation Group. 
   
   
   
  The SIG men deserve their legendary status. They fought, and often died, wearing Wehmacht uniform. As this book reveals that, after infiltrating Field Marshal Rommel's Afrika Korps, one detachment even drew Nazi pay. Once the existence of SIG units became known, their immediate execution on capture was ordered, unless their temporary reprieve would reveal intelligence under torture. 
   
   
   
  We learn how Churchill's initiative was copied by both Americans and Russians. 
   
   
   
  Post-war SIG and X Troop survivors joined British special forces or were used to hunt down Nazi war criminals. 
   
   
   
  All this and more is covered in this groundbreaking book by a writer who is both a leading historian and foreign correspondent.

  Restorative justice represents "a paradigm shift in the way Americans conceptualize and administer punishment," says author Maisha T. Winn, from a focus on crime to a focus on harm, including the needs of both those who were harmed and those who caused it. 
   
   
   
  Her book, Justice on Both Sides, provides an urgently needed, comprehensive account of the value of restorative justice and how contemporary schools can implement effective practices to address inequalities associated with race, class, and gender. 
   
   
    
  Winn, a restorative justice practitioner and scholar, draws on her extensive experience as a coach to school leaders and teachers to show how indispensable restorative justice is in understanding and addressing the educational needs of students, particularly disadvantaged youth. Justice on Both Sides makes a major contribution by demonstrating how this actually works in schools and how it can be integrated into a range of educational settings. It also emphasizes how language and labeling must be addressed in any fruitful restorative effort. Ultimately, Winn makes the case for restorative justice as a crucial answer, at least in part, to the unequal practices and opportunities in American schools.

  The In-Group Bias - Favoring...

  William Rands

  In-group bias is a psychological phenomenon where individuals favor members of their own group over those belonging to other groups. This bias is rooted in the human tendency to classify people into various social categories, such as race, religion, nationality, or even less obvious distinctions like political affiliation or sports team loyalty. Once these distinctions are made, individuals typically develop a sense of belonging and loyalty to their own group—the "in-group"—while viewing outsiders, or "out-group" members, as different or inferior. 
  At its core, in-group bias serves a functional purpose in social behavior. Evolutionarily, humans have relied on social groups for survival, and belonging to a cohesive group provided benefits such as shared resources, protection, and mutual support. However, as societies evolved and became more complex, these group dynamics also gave rise to preferential treatment of those within the same group. This is not limited to obvious groups like tribes or clans but can extend to any group with which an individual identifies. Whether through shared beliefs, common goals, or even simple social interactions, in-group bias manifests in everyday life, influencing decisions, relationships, and behaviors. 
  In-group bias is a key concept in social psychology because it highlights how much of human behavior is shaped by the need for social belonging. This bias leads to favoritism in various aspects of life, from workplace promotions and academic opportunities to political support and even everyday social interactions. The impact of in-group bias can be subtle, such as favoring a colleague over an outsider for a minor task, or more overt, such as discrimination against individuals from a different ethnic background.
