  One Woman’s Remarkable Escape from Nazi Germany 
  The peaceful farm life of a teenage girl in Germany is abruptly upended when WWII comes knocking at her family’s door. One month before her sixteenth birthday, Mildred “Mickchen” Schindler and her family are captured by Russian Soldiers. Having already survived life in Hitler’s Nazi Germany, they now face the terror of a new enemy—Stalin’s Red Army. 
  Driven from their home, Mildred and her family become refugees along with a sad, slow-moving caravan of other families who have suffered the same fate. Cleverly disguised by her mother, Mildred avoids being taken to a work camp until one morning when authorities arrive unexpectedly. Her father has already been taken by Russian soldiers, and now she is taken from her mother and brother. 
  Mildred recounts, in meticulous detail, her treacherous journey and the roller coaster of raw emotions she experiences —fear, regret, loneliness, humility, perseverance, and defiance. Mildred’s odyssey of making her way home and finding her family in a war-torn countryside takes many riveting twists and turns. The discovery of a secret, hidden document offers hope for a brighter future. 
  From harrowing to heartwarming, this memoir provides a unique perspective of a Gentile girl’s road to resilience and her fortitude against all odds to forge a life filled with love and laughter. 
  Surviving Hitler, Evading Stalin is a remarkable testimony to the strength of the unconquerable human spirit and an endearing account of God’s faithfulness in the midst of faithless circumstances.

  'Mark Shaw is the foremost analyst of organised crime in SA.' – Jonny Steinberg
  At the dawn of the country's brave new democracy, Cape Town was at war. Pagad, which began as a community protest action against crime, had mutated into a sinister vigilante group wreaking death and destruction across the city. Between 1996 and 2001, there were hundreds of bomb blasts – most infamously at the Planet Hollywood restaurant at the VA Waterfront – and countless targeted hits on druglords and gang bosses.
  The police scrambled desperately to respond. The new ANC government was shaken. Citizens of Cape Town lived in fear. Who could save the city?
  Mark Shaw tells the incredible tale of how former foes – struggle cadres and the apartheid security apparatus – pulled together to break the Pagad death squads. Out of this crisis emerged the elite law enforcement unit, the Scorpions.
  It is a story that has never been told in full. Now many involved have broken their silence about this pivotal chapter in South Africa's history, which offers far-reaching lessons on how to deal with organised crime today.

  SPEAKING OUT! - My life under...

  Chantal Frei (pseudonym) who grew up in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, was only six years old when Satanists decided to make her into a Mother of Darkness. At that time, she had already survived massive torture – which was the reason why the cult considered her to be strong, smart, and intelligent enough to be trained by the Illuminati.
  Today, Chantal Frei is able to speak out about her experiences as a survivor of satanic ritual abuse, spiritual abuse, and mind control in order to help others by providing insight and knowledge. The information provided in this book is by far not complete as the author can only share what she herself has experienced and understood. She states: "More and more I realize, that with my book, I can only scratch the surface of this topic." Nonetheless, her personal account is unique and important. Chantal Frei is the first survivor with a German-speaking background who has been this deep in the inner circle of the Illuminati and has mustered enough courage to speak out about it. During cruel rituals, she met with heads of state, nobles, and celebrities. Therefore, she was taken to well-known places – such as the White House and a famous Spanish basilica – but also got into secret military facilities and a remote castle in Belgium. These places and people, some of which are also mentioned by other survivors, illustrate the terrifying extent of an abysmally dark phenomenon known as ritual abuse.
  Chantal Frei wants to help bring light into this darkness.

  From the cockpit of a Boeing 737 to the sun-kissed shores of Kiribati, Lady MacGyver is a remarkable memoir of grit, courage, and sky-high ambition. 
    
  Michelle Huntington's dream of flight took root at the age of seven—and, against all odds, she became one of just 500 female airline captains worldwide. Over two decades, she’s flown solo across vast oceans, landed on rugged outback strips, and even survived a lightning strike mid-flight. 
    
  Michelle’s journey through the aviation world is anything but conventional. She navigates a turbulent path, sidestepping naysayers and confronting systemic barriers. Through it all, she proves that with MacGyver-style ingenuity—and maybe a touch of insanity—no challenge is insurmountable. 
    
  Told with sharp wit and unflinching candour, Lady MacGyver is packed with exhilarating adventures and powerful insights into resilience and resourcefulness. Today, Michelle channels her experiences beyond the cockpit, speaking globally on neuroplasticity and mindset transformation, helping others face adversity and embrace change with clarity and conviction. 
    
  More than a memoir, Lady MacGyver is an inspiring tale of rising above limitations, and when the going gets tough, finding the strength to soar.

  1Night. 6 Women. 1 Jail cell. In this lyrical masterpiece by 2020 Sonia Sanchez-Langston Hughes award- winner Diana Tokaji, we hear the intimate stories of strangers, locked together for one long night. Meet: Baby, Alexa, Richmond, The Social Worker, Mudd - a teen, a divorcee, a sex worker, a social worker, a pregnant mom - and our grey-haired narrator who was just assaulted by the police.  This book is about a harsh reality Americans should know: "Up the hall wall for pat down, handcuffed through the succession of locking doors, and now this: I am told to sit... my left handcuff is clicked with the spin of a key into a tight iron ring on the metal desk. I'm not going anywhere unless I haul the table too." This book is about love: "The eyes of each woman remain in my mind like the nurse whose eyes I bored through to stay sane in my last child-birthing, whose name I never learned, whose actual face I never took in, only the eyes, not even their color, just the saving connection of them." 
  "Breathtaking. Raw, Brilliant. And beautifully crafted." - Deborah King, creator of regrowing our wings: Yoga for healing trauma 
  "Not just words on pages - this is a taste of what life is for many." - Debra Bennett, Executive Director, Change comes now 
  "I couldn't put it down." - Maria Washington, founder, mothers for justice united 
  "I laughed, cried, and truly connected with this story of injustice and humanity." - Nadia Salazar, community and labor organizer 
  "Tokaji has produced a mirror- everyone should read this necessary work." - Devi S. Laskar, Author, The Atlas Of Reds And Blues

  Nefertiti - The Beautiful Queen...

  Nefertiti, one of ancient Egypt’s most captivating and influential queens, remains a figure shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Her name, meaning “the beautiful one has come,” hints at her exotic origins, though little is known for certain about her early life. Some historians believe she was a member of the Egyptian nobility, possibly the daughter of Ay, a prominent official. Others suggest foreign origins, potentially linking her to Mitanni royalty. Regardless of her birthplace, Nefertiti’s remarkable journey from obscurity to queenhood is a testament to her enduring legacy. 
  Nefertiti’s life took a dramatic turn when she married Amenhotep IV, later known as Akhenaten. Their union marked the beginning of one of ancient Egypt’s most transformative periods. As Akhenaten’s Great Royal Wife, Nefertiti played a central role in the royal family, often depicted alongside her husband in scenes of worship and domestic life. Their partnership appeared to be one of both love and power, as Nefertiti is shown participating actively in religious ceremonies and royal duties, signifying her status as more than just a consort. 
  Upon ascending to the throne, Akhenaten and Nefertiti initiated radical religious changes, abandoning traditional polytheism in favor of the monotheistic worship of Aten, the sun disk. This religious revolution, known as the Amarna Period, saw the couple establish a new capital, Akhetaten, modern-day Amarna. Nefertiti’s involvement in this spiritual shift was profound, as she was frequently depicted alongside Akhenaten, worshiping Aten with equal devotion. She became a symbol of the new religious order, embodying divine femininity and royal authority.
