  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  In the whirlwind of early 20th-century Germany, Heinrich Himmler grapples with questions of masculinity and identity amidst a society in flux. Denied the opportunity to prove himself in war, Himmler is forced to confront his own biases when faced with the complexities of homosexuality. 
  Coming from a conservative background, Himmler's beliefs clash with the realization that masculinity can manifest in diverse ways, including within the LGBTQ+ community. As he ascends to power, his inner struggle reaches a climax with the notorious Bad Tölz speech of 1937, marking a dark chapter in Nazi history. 
  "Himmler's Secret Desire" delves deep into Himmler's journey, offering insights into Nazi attitudes towards gender and sexuality. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of prejudice and the ongoing pursuit of acceptance and understanding.

  In 1982, amid the nuclear paranoia that engulfed the US and the Soviet Union, Samantha Smith, a fifth grader from Manchester, Maine, wrote a letter to the Kremlin asking the Soviet leader if he was going to start a war. When Pravda, the biggest Soviet newspaper, published her letter—and Samantha received an unprecedented invitation to visit the Soviet Union —her family embarked on a historic journey. 
   
   
   
  The story of a young American girl's letter to the Soviet leader and her innocent curiosity about the other side of the Iron Curtain holds an important lesson for every American. America's Youngest Ambassador provides insights into a forgotten era and has an important message for young people who strive to be more involved in facilitating change, both locally and worldwide. 
   
   
   
  Juxtaposing Samantha's narrative with that of her own childhood in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, Lena Nelson explores the consequences of government propaganda on both sides of the ocean and reveals how Samantha Smith's journey in the summer of 1983 helped melt the hearts of the Soviets and thaw the ice of the Cold War. Drawing on interviews conducted in both the US and Russia with key players in the events of those days, Nelson blends storytelling, anecdotes, and analysis of Soviet-American relations to tell the story of this unprecedented moment in history.

  From Alien To Citizen

  Edward Steiner spent his life figuring out how America manages to take in aliens from all over the world, who bring with them a huge diversity of beliefs, habits, ethics, prejudices, expectations, etc., throws them into the "melting pot", and within a few generations most are shaped into full blooded Americans. This rarely happens in Europe, where people move from country to country but rarely become countrymen. Steiner, a wonderful writer, relates his own experience as a young penniless immigrant who, after becoming successful, devoted his life to helping newcomers adjust, lecturing around the world and writing numerous books on immigration. This one is his personal story: his arduous trek from home country to the American "sweat shop, the mills and mines with their grinding labor, the open courts, the jail, the open road with its dangers", experiences in American homes and schools and the Christian Church, his evolution from Jew to Christian minister, University Professor, and immigration scholar. ~ Summary by Michele Fry
