 | All but My Life by Gerda W. Klein, Grace Conlin
Gerda Klein has expanded her story, originally published in 1957, to include a description of her new life in the United States. She recounts in detailed prose the nostalgic story of her home and family--none of whom survived the war--in prewar Bielitz, Poland, and her three-year imprisonment in German work camps and the 1000-mile winter march. It is also the story of her marriage to the infantryman who liberated her in 1945. Includes photographs. In the epilogue, she addresses her readers' questions. AUTHOR: Gerda W. Klein, Grace Conlin

 | Debates with Devils by Donald Rose, Emanuel Swedenborg, Lisa HyattCooper
In 1996, the Swedenborg Foundation published Conversations with Angels, revealing the wisdom imparted to Swedenborg by heavenly spirits. This companion piece presents Swedenborg`s encounters with evil spirits, narratives arranged thematically by Donald Rose and newly translated by Lisa Hyatt Cooper from several of Swedenborg`s works. Rose explains the nature of these experiences and of Swedenborg`s experience of hell as the provision of a merciful God who seeks restraint rather than vengeance.
