Facing the Enemy: How a Nazi Youth Camp in America Tested a Friendship
"What do you do when your best friend becomes the enemy? Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, in the 1930s, Benjy Puterman and Tommy Anspach have always done everything together. It never mattered that Benjy was Jewish and Tommy was of German heritage. But as Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party come to power in Germany and war brews in Europe, everything changes. Tommy is sent to Camp Nordland, a Nazi youth camp for German Americans, where he quickly learns that Jews are the enemy. Heartbroken by the loss of his friend, Benjy forms a teen version of the Newark Minutemen, an anti-Nazi vigilante group, all the while hoping that Tommy will abandon his extremist beliefs. Will Benjy and Tommy be able to overcome their differences and be friends again? Based on the true story of the Newark Minutemen and the New Jersey pro-Nazi German youth camp, this daring and powerful novel in verse reveals the long history of American right-wing extremism, and its impact on the lives of two ordinary teens. A story that unfortunately still rings true today. “Facing the Enemy offers a frightening glimpse into a little-known slice of America’s history. Two best friends—one Jewish and one of German heritage—pit themselves against each other as antisemitism rises alongside German nationalism in a corner of New Jersey in the years leading up to World War II. Poetry is the perfect form for this well-researched, chilling read.”—Kip Wilson, award-winning author of White Rose"

[Spanish] - La gorda del grupo: Desear, gozar y amar cuando te creíste que nadie iba a quererte
"Agustina Cabaleiro (@onlinemami_) pone voz a historias y experiencias de sexo y amor entre personas con cuerpos que no responden a los mandatos de la belleza hegemónica. ¿Quién fue la primera persona que te enseñó que no merecías que te quieran? ¿Cuántas veces sentiste que para los demás solo podías ser un secreto, un fetiche o una burla? Siempre supimos que nuestros cuerpos eran distintos, que estaban fuera de la norma, y que entonces teníamos que ocultarlos o hacerlos cambiar. Ser FLACAS para que nos vaya bien, para que nos quieran, para poder tener una vida plena. Y si eso no era posible, condenarnos al silencio y soportar todas las humillaciones. Fuimos la gorda gauchita, la gorda agradecida, la gorda fetiche. La gorda del grupo, siempre. Deseamos a escondidas y nos bancamos relaciones tóxicas por miedo a que nadie más nos diera una oportunidad. Pero hay un lado B de esa historia: aquel en el que sí fuimos deseadas y amadas, aquel en el que sí podemos contar nuestras aventuras, nuestras primeras veces, y hablar de todos esos placeres que nos negaron pero que logramos descubrir igual. Un lado B en el que sí podemos, de una vez por todas, ser libres."

Little does she know that soon a ghost will slip through with salvation in one hand and strings in the other set on collecting an old debt that could change Maddy’s world forever. If you give a rat a cookie, will it still eye your flesh?"

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. If you want to wander the whole beautiful universe and then wander in the warm fierce veins of her heart, you will slave there forever. Perfect thought for the alchemist 'She' She wanted to change the hypocrisy thinking of the people. She wanted to shift the scenario of the whole society. She wanted to terminate the agony in her soul. She wanted to censure the discriminated thoughts of the entire world. S- She H- Heals E- Everything Faith is the substantial base of the relationship. A relationship never exists without trust; to continue the relationship without trust is just a compromise. A relationship is the colourful rainbow of trust, love, pain, emotions, compassion, beautiful eyes and a perfect sharp sword of madness hold by both of them tightly. She was not raped; instead, the society was raped for its hypocrisy and stereotypes. 'We want change, but we resist changing.' Change yourself instead of changing others. There is a need for mental revolution to develop a new society which would be safe for her to live peacefully. 'The society is only listening to the echoes of its voice, which has been creating every moment when we fight for her.' 'She is still waiting.' She is knotty for an indigence heart, lechery for the affluent men, irony for a selfish heart and mirth for an alchemist's heart."
