|  | The Hidden Children by Howard Greenfeld, Terry Seng
Interviews with 15 Jewish Holocaust survivors who, as children during World War II, had to go into hiding to avoid being captured by the Nazis. These children survived by living with non-Jewish families, hiding in religious institutions, or constantly moving from place to place on their own. Some of the survivors were treated well by their hosts and lived near normal lives until the end of the war; others were treated cruelly, and some were even handed over to the Nazis by the very people who were supposed to protect them. Illustrated with b&w photographs. AUTHOR: Howard Greenfeld, Terry Seng

 | Feminism Is for Everybody by bell hooks
This primer provides an accessible overview of feminism and addresses standard responses and objections to feminism that the author has repeatedly encountered. In brief chapters on topics such as consciousness-raising, feminist education, beauty, class, race, gender, parenting, and the world of work, bell hooks shows how feminism's theoretical underpinnings are based on practical issues and experiences. She draws on her own experiences and implies that a life informed by these principles can be a very spiritual and fully realized one for both men and women. AUTHOR: bell hooks

 | Free Some Day by David Brion Davis
Although Thomas Jefferson, author of the words All men are created equal, was a lifelong enemy of the institution of slavery, he considered over six hundred human beings his legal possessions over the course of his long life. Building on Stanton's highly acclaimed Slavery at Monticello, this fascinating work highlights the stories of six enslaved families who lived and worked at Monticello and provides general information on events and issues that affected the entire African-American community. Informed by the extensive records and accounts of Thomas Jefferson, the book also draws from oral histories of the descendants of former slaves as well as the reminiscences and letters left by men and women who lived in slavery at Monticello. Stanton unveils the lives of the African Americans who experienced bondage on Jefferson's plantations and examines the wide variety of ways in which individuals responded to their situation, whether as trusty servants, resourceful leaders, or outright rebels. The book also chronicles the many accomplishments of Monticello slaves and their descendants, either during their enslavement, as the creators of hand-crafted furniture in Monticello's joinery and European-inspired cuisine served in the Monticello dining room; or after gaining freedom, as the founders of churches and schools and businesses. The skills practiced at Monticello were carried to all parts of the country, and the fight for education, freedom, and family integrity continued long after they left the mountaintop.
