    Summary and Analysis of The Nazi Officers Wife: How One Jewish Woman Survived the Holocaust , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
    Edith Beer starts her story by remembering a fellow nurse who illegally bought an onion to feed to a dying Russian soldier. Beer explains that she, a nurse's aide, could have caused trouble for her fellow nurses because the Nazi regime frowned upon forming friendships with prisoners or with people who were not Nordic Aryans. Beer explains that many of the other nurses would have caused trouble for her because they bought into the propaganda, truly believing that they were better than the foreign prisoners they served. Instead of bartering for food to give to the injured prisoners, they were more likely to steal food from the prisoners, to bring that food home so the nurses could feed their own hungry families. Most of the prisoners in Brandenburg were not actually injured in war but injured in their servitude; having been conquered, they were forced to work in factories full of industrial accidents. Beer explains that she was transferred from this ward of injured prisoners to work in the maternity ward because someone tattled on her, saying she was too friendly with the foreigners. Informers to the Gestapo were everywhere. Before the war, Beer was a law student in Austria, but as the war grew and Germany spread, her name was put on a wanted list. To avoid persecution, she became a U-boat; a Jewish person living with a secret identity in the heart of Germany. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laura Copland.

    Her First Billionaire: BBW Romance, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min, (USK 18)
    Could she really find the right guy on the internet? "Hot, luscious piece of ass who can suck a golf ball through forty feet of garden hose seeks rippling-ab'd firefighter who has a tongue that thrums like a hummingbird and enjoys painting my toenails and eating Ben & Jerry's out of the carton while watching Mad Men." Laura Michaels stared at the online dating site's registration screen and frowned. That's what she really wanted to write. Here was the truth: "Needy, insecure, overweight twenty-six year old Business Analyst with three cats, a corporate job with pension and no debt seeks Mr. Impossible for way more than friendship and lots of ice cream. I'm desperate for some physical affection and oral sex with a guy who doesn't view it as some sort of favor he's granting me, and then expects to be praised like he cleaned my toilet. One night stands are better than nothing as long as you brush your teeth. So call me, maybe!" So when hot firefighter Dylan Stanwyck responds and asks her out, it's just too good to be true. When she searches him online and learns he offers himself up for date nights in bachelor charity auctions, she wonders if she's on the right planet. Because what could a guy like that see in a fat girl like her? Or would he not be who he seemed? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Noah Michael Levine.

    Cupboard Boy: A Shockingly True Story of Horrific Child Abuse: The PT Saunders Story, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 113min
    Under the cover of anonymity, Paul Saunders courageously tells his shockingly true story of how he and his stepsiblings were repeatedly abused by their mother and stepfather. It doesn’t make “easy” listening, but living through it wasn’t fun, either. Paul’s father selfishly deserted him and his mother for another woman when Paul was just coming up to two years of age. Paul’s mother quickly entered into a new mixed race relationship, which in 1960’s Britain was very much frowned upon.Consequently, Paul and his mother were instantly ostracized by their family and friends, and they were left to suffer/ witness dreadful physical abuse and neglect at the hands of Roy, an evil and very sick man.The following is a harrowing story and may be - should be - as distressing to listen, as it is for me to write. However, the events that took place during the years 1963 to 1980 need to be recorded, for the sake of future generations of children to come and out of respect to all the children who have already suffered at the hands of demonic parents.I especially dedicate this book to one hell of a brave boy, my stepbrother little Paul, who sadly died with a great deal of dignity at the young age of 19 from cancer, after years of horrific abuse. God bless him. Follow the author on Facebook Cupboard Boy by PT Saunders.Disclaimer: This book is a true story of horrific child abuse, and does contain passages that most listeners will find disturbing. ungekürzt.

    The Sky's the Limit: Passion and Property in Manhattan, Hörbuch, Digital, 360min
    Steven Gaines takes us from New York's most expensive condominiums and co-ops to the offices of its most powerful real estate brokers to reveal the outlandish displays of ego, bad behavior, and status hunger that come into play when the best addresses in the city are on the line. With his signature élan, Gaines weaves a gossipy tapestry of brokers, buyers, co-op boards, and eccentric landlords and tells of the apartment hunting and renovating adventures of many celebrities: From Tommy Hilfiger to Donna Karan, from Jerry Seinfeld to Steven Spielberg, from Barbra Streisand to Madonna. Gaines uncovers the secretive, unwritten rules of co-op boards: Why diplomats and pretty divorcées are frowned upon, what not to wear to a board interview, and which of the biggest celebrities and CEOs have been turned away from the elite buildings of Fifth and Park Avenues. He introduces the carriage-trade brokers who never have to advertise for clients and gives us finely etched portraits of a few of the discreet, elderly society ladies who decide who gets into the so-called Good Buildings. Here, too, is a fascinating chronicle of the changes in Manhattan's residential skyline, from the slums of the nineteenth century to the advent of the luxury building. Gaines describes how living in boxes stacked on boxes came to be seen as the ultimate in status, and how the co-operative apartment, originally conceived as a form of housing for the poor, came to be used as a legal means of blackballing undesirable neighbors.
