  The Work I Did: A Memoir of the Secretary to Goebbels , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 305min

  Brunhilde Pomsel described herself as an 'apolitical girl' and a 'figure on the margins', but, employed as a stenographer during the Second World War, she worked closely with one of the worst criminals in world history: Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. She was one of the oldest surviving eyewitnesses to the internal workings of the Nazi power apparatus until her death in 2017. Her biography, however, not only provides us with extraordinary new insight into a seminal moment of history. Her life, mirroring all the major breaks and continuities of the 20th century, also illustrates how far-right politics, authoritarian regimes and dictatorships can rise and what part political apathy and passivity of the masses can contribute to democracy's erosion. Compelling and unnerving, The Work I Did forces us to ask how we could have acted in such a situation and leads to the disturbing and enduring question: how reliable is our own moral compass? ungekürzt.

Life is short, so explore a multitude of fascinating historical, biographical, scientific, political, and financial topics in only an hour each. Many associate Mahatma Gandhi with peace, but this should not be confused with passivity. Gandhi was an activist who helped India achieve independence from Britain, advocated for Indian rights in South Africa and at home, and improved the lives of India’s “untouchable” people. He did this all through nonviolent activism and thoughtful reflection on the nature of the injustices he saw around him. At his funeral, a million mourners followed the processional through the streets, yet millions more mourned worldwide. This short biography reveals the life experiences that made Gandhi an inspirational peacemaker with an international legacy. ungekürzt.

  The Gray Zones: The World vs. Eichmann , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 88min

  This recreation of the Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem is a thorough review of all the issues that appear and will keep appearing as long the human kinds exists: The nature of National Socialism The banality of evil executed from the desk of a bureaucrat who kills only by shuffling papers and setting train schedules The boundaries for due obedience The passivity of the Jewish people The indifference of the Allied forces and the Catholic Church The complicity of the directors of the Jewish associations The legacy that enabled later the foundation of the Jewish State The Nazi regime and the Jewish Holocaust are historical events we try to understand knowing that we will never succeed. How could all this happen? Would the Jewish State have been created without Hitler, without Nazis, and without the Holocaust? Is this the price the Jews had to pay in order to have a state? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kay Webster. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/070675/bk_acx0_070675_sample.mp3.

  War Is Beautiful: The New York Times Pictorial Guide to the Glamour of Armed Conflict , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min

  Best-selling author David Shields analyzed over a decade’s worth of front-page war photographs from The New York Times and came to a shocking conclusion: The photo-editing process of the “paper of record”, by way of pretty, heroic, and lavishly aesthetic image selection, pulls the wool over the eyes of its readers; Shields forces us to face not only the the media's complicity in dubious and catastrophic military campaigns but our own as well. This powerful media mouthpiece, the mighty Times, far from being a check on governmental power, is in reality a massive amplifier for its dark forces by virtue of the way it aestheticizes warfare. Anyone baffled by the willful American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan can’t help but see in this book how eagerly and invariably the Times led the way in making the case for these wars through the manipulation of its visuals. Shields forces the listener to weigh the consequences of our own passivity in the face of these images’ opiatic numbing.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dave Elvin.

  No More Christian Nice Guy: When Being Nice - Instead of Good - Hurts Men, Women, and Children , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 627min

  Recovering nice guy Paul Coughlin points the way for all men who yearn to live lives of boldness and conviction - like Jesus. Using anecdotes from his own life, powerful and poignant stories, and vivid examples from our culture, Coughlin shows how men can say no to the "nice guy" syndrome and yes to lives of purpose, passion, and vitality. In this revised and expanded edition, Coughlin adds vital insights on the changes he's seen in churches and the greater culture in the decade since No More Christian Nice Guy was first published. This radical and hopeful message elevates the true biblical model of manhood and now includes testimonials from men and women whose lives have been altered by this book. Coughlin also looks at the shifting expectations men face in relationships and in the workplace and how younger Christians in particular are subject to harmful views about masculinity. Part inspiration, part instruction, and part manifesto, this book gives men the courage to move from passivity to assertiveness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: P. J. Ochlan.

  Soul of a Citizen: Living with Conviction in Challenging Times , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min

  Soul of a Citizen awakens within us the desire and the ability to make our voices heard and our actions count. We can lead lives worthy of our convictions. An audiobook of inspiration and integrity, Soul of a Citizen is an antidote to the twin scourges of modern life - powerlessness and cynicism. In his evocative style, Paul Loeb tells moving stories of ordinary Americans who have found unexpected fulfillment in social involvement. Through their example and Loeb's own wise and powerful lessons, we are compelled to move from passivity to participation. The reward of our action, we learn, is nothing less than a sense of connection and purpose not found in a purely personal life. Soul of a Citizen has become the handbook for budding social activists, veteran organizers, and anybody who wants to make a change - big or small - in the world around them. At this critical historical time, Paul Loeb's completely revised edition - and inspiring message - is more urgently important than ever. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Meanwhile, Ella's mom landed her dream job teaching at a law school-only problem is, it's in the boonies.
