  My Race: A Jewish Girl Growing Up Under Apartheid in South Africa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min

  My Race is the memoir of a gifted Jewish athlete growing up under the apartheid system of South Africa. As both an outsider excluded from the conservative Christian mainstream and an insider who reaped many of the benefits of a society founded on white supremacy, South African track star Lorraine Lotzof Abramson had a unique vantage point on the apartheid experience. Her grandparents left Eastern Europe to escape oppression, only to find themselves in another oppressive society. This time, by virtue of their white skin, they were on the same side of the fence as the oppressors. Lorraine's first-hand account shares her ambitions, her achievements, her losses, her family ties - and her growing unease with the system of social inequality that simultaneously excluded her and celebrated her. She eventually closes the door on the South African chapter of her life by immigrating to the United States, while her family remained in South Africa. Along the way, Lorraine learns that the real race - the marathon that is a long and eventful human life - is a journey towards compassion. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nathalie Boltt.

  Crossing the Borders of Time: A True Story of War, Exile, and Love Reclaimed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1128min

  Leslie Maitland is an award-winning former New York Times investigative reporter whose mother and grandparents fled Germany in 1938 for France, where, as Jews, they spent four years as refugees—the last two under risk of Nazi deportation. In 1942 they made it onto the last boat to escape France before the Germans sealed the harbors. Then, barred from entering the United States, they lived in Cuba for almost two years before immigrating to New York. This sweeping account of one family’s escape from the turmoil of war-torn Europe hangs upon the intimate and deeply personal story of the passionate romance between Maitland’s mother and a Catholic Frenchman. Separated by war and her family’s disapproval, the young lovers—Janine and Roland—lose each other for 50 years. It is a testimony to both Maitland’s investigative skills and her devotion to her mother that she successfully traced the lost Roland and was able to reunite him with Janine. Unlike so many stories of love during wartime, their's has a happy ending. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leslie Maitland.

  I Am a Human Being: Said Muhammad to God When He Learned God DGAF , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 690min

  Greetings, your majesty. Have I a story for you? This is the heart-warming tale of the world-renowned Muhammad Hussein. Yes. We all cherish his story of immigrating to the US in 2028 as a refugee and going on to become the greatest mixed martial artist ever born. But did you know there's much more to this young man than his charity donations, vast wealth, pure talent, and deep faith in God? It's true. Muhammad actually has an untold story that'll make you and everyone you know feel special, which is important. The whole incident kicks off when God says humans worship him, whether they're blessed or unblessed. A super sweet angel hears this claim and reasons, no, man worships God only when the conditions are right. So, the creator of the universe agrees to enter into a bet with this innocent and highly sensitive angel. Muhammad, being a perfect candidate for the experiment, will have his life ruined at the hands of our misunderstood angel only because he has to prove his point with a peanut butter and jelly supreme being. But, the question remains human. What is the heavyweight champion going to do when happiness is replaced with profound misery? Narrated by...oh, it doesn't matter, it's in the details. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  My Father's Kingdom: A Novel of Puritan New England , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min

  In 1620, more than 100 devout men and women crossed the treacherous Atlantic Ocean and established a colony in the New World where they could build a righteous and Godly society. Without the fortuitous friendship of the Wampanoag people and their charismatic leader Massasoit, however, it is doubtful the holy experiment would have survived. Fifty years later Plymouth Colony has not only survived, it has prospered, and more and more Englishmen are immigrating to New England. The blessed alliance with the Wampanoag, however, is in severe jeopardy. Massasoit has passed away along with most of the original settlers of Plymouth Colony, and their children and grandchildren have very different ideas about their historic friendship. Thrust into the center of events is Reverend Israel Brewster, an idealistic young minister with a famous grandfather and a tragic past. Meanwhile, Massasoit's son, known as "King Philip" by the English, is tormented by both the present and the past. He is watching the resources and culture of the Wampanoag nation fade away at the hands of the English and desperately wishes to restore hope and security to his people. In a world of religious fervor, devastating sickness, and incessant greed, can the alliance of their forefathers survive? Or will New England feel the wrath of tragic, bloody war? ungekürzt.

  Artist and poet, Renate Kaufmann, expresses what it was like living through the bombing and the hiding and then through all the sorrow and confusion in the war-torn aftermath. She also tells how, later in life, she came to know her Jewish Messiah in a deeper way.

"I Found The Truth" "Not An Alien Anymore" "Let's Be Women Of Influence" "Shalom To You". Renate, a child Holocaust survivor, lives in Rochester, New York, and is in the process of immigrating to Israel.

Funds from the sale of this book will go to help her cause. Winning her case will help set a precedent for other Jewish believers.

  The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 990min

  A clever and complex woman builds an ice cream empire after immigrating from Russia in this stunning novel of power, Prohibition, and performance set against the backdrop of early 20th century America In 1913, little Malka Treynovsky flees Russia with her family. Bedazzled by tales of gold and movie stardom, she tricks them into buying tickets for America. Yet no sooner do they land on the squalid Lower East Side of Manhattan, than Malka is crippled and abandoned in the street. Taken in by a tough-loving Italian ices peddler, she manages to survive through cunning and inventiveness. As she learns the secrets of his trade, she begins to shape her own destiny. She falls in love with a gorgeous, illiterate radical named Albert, and they set off across America in an ice cream truck. Slowly, she transforms herself into Lillian Dunkle, "The Ice Cream Queen" - doyenne of an empire of ice cream franchises and a celebrated television personality. Lillian's rise to fame and fortune spans 70 years and is inextricably linked to the course of American history itself, from Prohibition to the disco days of Studio 54. Yet Lillian Dunkle is nothing like the whimsical motherly persona she crafts for herself in the media. Conniving, profane, and irreverent, she is a supremely complex woman who prefers a good stiff drink to an ice cream cone. And when her past begins to catch up with her, everything she has spent her life building is at stake.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Jane Gilman.
