The story of Felice, a young Jewish lesbian, and Elizabeth, a Gentile wife and mother, during the Holocaust. Elizabeth eventually divorced her husband, moved in with Felice, and the two of them attempted to establish a haven from the madness that surrounded them. But then Felice was deported--first to Czechoslovakia, then to a concentration camp. At the age of 80, Elizabeth finally tells her story to journalist Erica Fischer, who complements the saga with historical background, interviews with Elizabeth's and Felice's friends, and letters, diaries, and photos.

 | Oswald Talked by Mary LaFontaine, Ray La Fontaine
This is the dramatic account of the search for evidence in recently opened files on the assassination of the thirty-fifth president of the United States. After conspiracy writers and Warren Commission supporters alike had pronounced the Dallas police files empty of new material, the La Fontaines proved them wrong - publishing new evidence contained in the files beginning with their startling identification of the long-lost Three Tramps , three men arrested by the Dallas police just hours after the shooting and previously unidentified by the Rockefeller Commission in 1975 and the House Select Committee in 1979 and who have been subsequently linked to conspiracy theories. Working from never-before-seen documents in Dallas and elsewhere, as well as materials previously disregarded or misinterpreted, the La Fontaines opened a window to an entirely new world - the world of Dallas, 1963 - Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald, and a cast of characters never previously noted. This book will change the way America views the assassination of President Kennedy and the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. Ray and Mary La Fontaine are journalists who have co-written investigative articles for respected mainstream newspapers such as the Houston Post and the Washington Post. There are probably several hundred books on the general topic of the Kennedy assassination still on the shelves, but their book differs from the others in several ways. First of all it is one of only a handful written by serious journalists. Secondly, this book provides more new documented evidence than any book in twenty years, and does not rely on notoriously unreliable witness testimony unless such testimony was demonstrably made at thetime of the assassination. Thirdly, because this book has no agenda and was written by journalists, it does not gratuitously rehash tired theories, but takes the reader where he has never been before: to where the new evidence leads.
