<p>The expulsion and mass murder of the ethnic Germans in Poland before and at the start of World War Two was by no means restricted to the Bloody Sunday of Bromberg, a massacre that is all too often downplayed or even denied outright today. But more than 58,000 ethnic Germans were murdered or went missing in those days from countless Polish cities and towns, large and small. Bromberg - Bydgoszcz, as it is called today - was a particularly horrific example but it stands for many.\nThis book, dating from 1940 and translated by The Scriptorium in 2004 to commemorate the 65th anniversary of these events, lets the reader experience almost first-hand the terrible fate of tens of thousands of ethnic Germans in Poland in September 1939.</p>

Falsehood in Wartime.: Propaganda Lies of the First World War.

Ponsonby, Arthur

<p>This rare 1939 treatise gives the view of National-Socialist Germany that the author, a Scottish scholar, developed during his time inside Hitler's Third Reich. Far from being the sort of hateful diatribe that was the common British judgement in those days, this book gives an insightful overview of National Socialism and of the domestic and foreign-political state of Germany less than 100 days before the outbreak of World War Two.</p>

But the encroaching Black Death foils her plans...When the painter's servants uncover the real reason why Maria has been sent away to train with Master Trevisan, they threaten to reveal a secret that could tear down her family and the future of their trade. She is forced to buy the servants' silence, but as their greed steadily grows, Maria resorts to more desperate measures. She questions whether her heart's desire is worth risking her family, her trade, and her future, but Maria's sacrifices may amount to nothing if the plague arrives on her father's doorstep and steals away everything she's ever loved.From the author of the award-winning novel, The Gondola Maker, comes a rich tale of Renaissance Venice, a heroine with a lust for life, and love against all odds.
