Описание: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE RESCUE OF THE DANISH JEWS The rescue of the Danish Jews from German persecution during World War II remains a small yet very significant chapter in world history, as well as one of the proudest moments in Danish history. 2018 marks the 75th anniversary of the remarkable event where so many Danes spontaneously mobilized to help defy the persecution of the Jews. In this new book, The Elsinore Sewing Club, interesting new perspectives are given on the event. The book tells the inspiring story of the Danish resistance group the Elsinore Sewing Club. During the winter of 1943-44 they played a crucial role in maintaining the connection between occupied Denmark and the free Sweden by daily illegal transports over the narrow strait, the Sound. The bookbinder Erling Kiaer defied his seasickness and sailed back and forth, day and night, through the tightly patrolled, ice-cold and mined waters. Illegally transporting refugees, resistance fighters, spies, courier post, weapons and other compromising material. Kiaer and the Sewing Club are especially well-known for their efforts in the rescue of the Danish Jews. It is estimated that they transported around 700 Jews to Sweden. For this action alone, the Sewing Club has gained an honorable place in world history - in the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, you will find one of the three boats they used, exhibited as a symbol of light in this otherwise dark chapter in mankind's history. Though much has already been written about the rescue of the Danish Jews, the book stands out in two ways. Firstly, it is the first study to closely examine the local infrastructure behind this impressive spontaneous humanitarian action. In the book you get to know the main characters (many of the stories in the book are rendered directly in the voices of the protagonists), get an insight into the group's work and wide-ranging organization. Secondly, it is a book that also clearly illustrates the high price that many of the helpers had to pay for their efforts - several of them even paid the ultimate price, killed either in action or in concentration camps. In the literature on the rescue of the Danish Jews it is often stated that the Germans were not that vigilant, giving the impression that the rescue operation was without much peril. The story of the Sewing Club gives a more nuanced picture. Though thoroughly researched - with many firsthand interviews and access to many previously unpublished sources - the book is written in a style for all to read.

Описание: Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, and Barbara Stanwyck--to name a few--maintained their images as glamorous big-screen sex symbols complete with dashing escorts, handsome husbands, and scores of male admirers, thanks to studio publicity departments. But off the set, all three box office divas were involved in "lavender" marriages (marriages of convenience, often to gay men) or remained stoically single. They, and several other Hollywood starlets of the era, were members of a discreet women's "club" called the Sewing Circle, Hollywood's underground lesbian society. Madsen takes a candid look at the very complicated dual lives these great stars led and the impact their preference for same-sex relationships had on their movie careers.

Описание:
Journalist Axel Madsen, the biographer of such icons as John Jacob Astor, Jacques Cousteau, and John Huston, presents the life and legend of French fashion designer Coco Chanel.
Chanel. The name alone evokes fashion and perfume, emancipation and allure. In this revealing, intimate biography, Axel Madsen brings to life Gabrielle Coco Chanel, who was born an illegitimate pauper and rose to become the reigning queen of fashion who revolutionized women's styles forever. Madsen traces Chanel's extrordinary life, from her beginnings as an orphan, to the first small boutique she opened in 1910, using her lover's financial backing, to the founding of the House of Chanel where she altered the look of fashion entirely, inventing sportswear, the little black dress, costume jewelry, and the perfume that Marilyn Monroe said was all she wore to bed. Although loved by many men, Coco remained wed only to her business, and when she died in 1971, at the age of eighty-eight, she was wealthy, an international celebrity, and utterly alone. Lavishly illustrated with photographs of Coco Chanel and her celebrated circle of friends and lovers, Chanel: A Woman of Her Own is the story of the magnificent woman whose legend lives on.
