In early 1939, after Kristallnacht, young Inge Joseph's family in Germany is broken apart, and her desperate mother sends her alone to Brussels to live with wealthy relatives. But she soon finds herself one of a hundred Jewish children fleeing for their lives following Hitler's invasions of Belgium and France. For a time, in 1941 and 1942, it seems as if Inge and the others have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, as they find shelter through the Swiss Red Cross in an idyllic fifteenth-century French chateau. Inge even finds love there. But the rumors and horrors of the Holocaust are never far away, and eventually French gendarmes surprise the children, taking them from their protectors to a nearby transit camp. In their desperate attempts to escape, Inge and her boyfriend face unexpected life-and-death decisions - wrenching decisions that will haunt Inge for the rest of her life. manuscript, found after her death; David Gumpert has also drawn from Inge's personal letters, from the recollections of friends, relatives, and people who were with her in Europe, and from his own close relationship with his aunt. One of the most dramatic stories of Christian rescue of Jewish children during the Holocaust, Inge is at the same time a totally frank account of the life and feelings of a teenage girl struggling to survive the Holocaust on her own - and of how the effects of that experience reverberated through her life and on into the lives of her descendants. No matter how or why one reads it, Inge is a story of survival not soon to be forgotten.

For the estimated 16 million Americans attempting to start businesses, this book serves as an essential launching pad by leading them step-by-step through the start-up process. Addressed are issues such as generating viable launch ideas, locating sources of financing, attracting the best employees on a start-up budget, and improving chances for meeting cash flow projections. Founders of such successful companies as Crate &amp; Barrel, Pizza Hut, and Celestial Seasonings offer real-life guidance and encourage continual assessment of one's readiness to start a business. Included are engaging exercises at the end of each chapter for determining one's preparedness for moving to the next chapter and, thus, the next level of entrepreneurship. Rather than get-rich-quick strategies, these steps result in a well-reasoned and practical approach to business start-ups and emphasize that launching a business is challenging work that requires careful self-examination, commitment, and close attention to details.
