Описание:
Avrumele: A Memoir is a first-person account of Albert Hepner's experiences as a "hidden child" during the Nazi hunt for Jews in German-occupied Brussels during World War II. This memoir is written from the perspective of a frightened child whose father has died, leaving him and his widowed mother to fend for themselves as the Gestapo closes in on them. Ultimately, mother and son must separate to survive, leaving the bewildered child in the care and protection of his young adult cousin Motl, a physician.
This is a story of the terror, occasionally mixed with humor, of a child who is moved from one tenuous sanctuary to another. It is also a chronicle of the incredible courage of the non-Jewish Belgians who risked their own lives to try to protect these helpless victims of the Holocaust.

Описание:
When a prominent physician and his wife die in a fiery blaze in their ranch home outside Manhattan, Kansas, their daughter, Brooke, speeds to the scene. She has no idea that a ghostly figure is standing in the barn next to her parents' home, devastated at the death of the only friend she believes can help her.
The untimely deaths of the Brookfields soon lead to a web of deceit. Nicole Martin, who moved to Manhattan to attend college, has recently learned Dr. Brookfield is her father. After his sudden death throws her into an emotional tailspin, her desire to see his home leads her to his ranch, where she finds a bag of gold and encounters a ghost who lived more than a century past. Meanwhile, two men recently released from prison are falsely arrested for the murders of the Brookfields. Will justice ever be served to the true killers? And who is the ghost haunting the doctor's ranch?
In this chilling tale, murder, a ghost, gold, and greed all play a role in a complex mystery after a physician and his wife die in a fiery fire.

African Asylum at a Crossroads: Activism, Expert Testimony, and Refugee Rights examines the emerging trend of requests for expert opinions in asylum hearings or refugee status determinations. This is the first book to explore the role of court-based expertise in relation to African asylum cases and the first to establish a rigorous analytical framework for interpreting the effects of this new reliance on expert testimony.
Over the past two decades, courts in Western countries and beyond have begun demanding expert reports tailored to the experience of the individual claimant. As courts increasingly draw upon such testimony in their deliberations, expertise in matters of asylum and refugee status is emerging as an academic area with its own standards, protocols, and guidelines. This deeply thoughtful book explores these developments and their effects on both asylum seekers and the experts whose influence may determine their fate.

Описание: Driven by genocide, civil war, political instabilities, ethnic and pastoral hostilities, the African Great Lakes Region, primarily Uganda, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Burundi, has been overwhelmingly defined by conflict. Kenneth Omeje, Tricia Redeker Hepner, and an international group of scholars, many from the Great Lakes region, focus on the interlocking conflicts and efforts toward peace in this multidisciplinary volume. These essays present a range of debates and perspectives on the history and politics of conflict, highlighting the complex internal and external sources of both persistent tension and creative peacebuilding. Taken together, the essays illustrate that no single perspective or approach can adequately capture the dynamics of conflict or offer successful strategies for sustainable peace in the region.
