DOWNLOAD EBOOKMoving to America turns H&à's life inside out. For all the 10 years of her life, H&à has only known Saigon: the thrills of its markets, the joy of its traditions, the warmth of her friends close by, and the beauty of her very own papaya tree. But now the Vietnam War has reached her home. H&à and her family are forced to flee as Saigon falls, and they board a ship headed toward hope. In America, H&à discovers the foreign world of Alabama: the coldness of its strangers, the dullness of its food, the strange shape of its landscape, and the strength of her very own family. This is the moving story of one girl's year of change, dreams, grief, and healing as she journeys from one country to another, one life to the next.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMemoirs of a Jew born in 1924 in Uzhhorod, relating how he and eight of his nine siblings survived, helping each other and other Jews. After their region of Czechoslovakia was annexed to Hungary in 1939 and the latter was then occupied by the Nazis in 1944, he and his siblings were sent into hiding. Protected by non-Jews, Katz maintained his religious observance. His parents and brother Pinchas were imprisoned in the Uzhhorod ghetto, then sent to Auschwitz, where they were killed. His brother Joe reached Switzerland when emigration was possible. In Budapest, his sister Chana hid as an "Aryan", was arrested, and escaped. She helped her sister Terry and brothers Sonny and Moshe, who had earlier helped their brother Yankel and other Jews hiding on a farm. Moshe witnessed the Sálaszi Iron Cross terror, including the mass drowning of Jewish children. After the war his sister Manca found their brother Louie very ill and nursed him back to health. Moshe helped Jewish refugees after the war, in Prague and Paris. He then moved to the U.S., where he continued living a religious life and helping Jews.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this twisted Lauren Oliver-meets-A.S. King debut, Julian has just eight more lives to burn in order to uncover a brutal secret. In an alternate world startlingly close to our own, humans have nine lives—and they can’t wait to use them up. The government has death incentives aimed at controlling overpopulation. As you shed lives, you shed your awkward phases: one death is equal to one physical and mental upgrade. Julian’s friends are obsessed with the idea of burning, but Julian is determined to stay on his first life for as long as he can. His mother burned too fast and inflicted a debilitating rebirth sickness on herself. Julian realizes that he’s going to have to burn at some point—especially when he becomes a target for Nicholas, the manipulative leader of the Burners, the school’s suicide club. And when Julian eventually succumbs, he uncovers suspicious gaps in the rebirth system that may explain exactly why his mother went so far down the rabbit hole years ago. Along with a group of student dissenters, Julian sets out to find answers and is soon on the verge of exposing the greatest conspiracy ever unleashed on the world.
