BOOK
Reluctant Accomplice
Reluctant Accompliceis a volume of the wartime letters of Dr. Konrad Jarausch, a German high-school teacher of religion and history who served in a reserve battalion of Hitler's army in Poland and Russia, where he died of typhoid in 1942. He wrote most of these letters to his wife, Elisabeth. His son, acclaimed German historian Konrad H. Jarausch, brings them together here to tell the gripping story of a patriotic soldier of the Third Reich who, through witnessing its atrocities in the East, begins to doubt the war's moral legitimacy. These letters grow increasingly critical, and their vivid descriptions of the mass deaths of Russian POWs are chilling. They reveal the inner conflicts of ordinary Germans who became reluctant accomplices in Hitler's merciless war of annihilation, yet sometimes managed to discover a shared humanity with its suffering victims, a bond that could transcend race, nationalism, and the enmity of war.
Reluctant Accompliceis also the powerful story of the son, who for decades refused to come to grips with these letters because he abhorred his father's nationalist politics. Only now, late in his life, is he able to cope with their contents--and he is by no means alone. This book provides rare insight into the so-called children of the war, an entire generation of postwar Germans who grew up resenting their past, but who today must finally face the painful legacy of their parents' complicity in National Socialism.
eBook
Greek tragedy, 2013
Athina's story is typical of what so many people in Greece are facing: a catastrophe brought on by \"the Troika\" of the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank, a catastrophe that has no European precedent apart from the disaster of the Second World War. Provision of public services has become utterly dysfunctional, unemployment has reached 27 percent and continues to rise, and a huge number of people are permanently fed in soup kitchens. By a recent government decree, rations provided by municipal authorities will be expanded further, as will the light meals provided to young pupils at school to deal with the rising incidence of children fainting due to low calorie intake.

Recipe for Living: Add Rice. Stir
For almost two decades, the author's war correspondent's diet has been heavy on rice. In Central Asia, Arabia, Somalia, Kashmir -- and even in Chechnya, where noodles are the starch of choice -- a guest of honor occasionally will be treated to a platter of mutton pilaf. According to Rice Around the World in 300 Recipes: An International Cookbook, published by the United Nations, rice is a daily staple at more than half the world's tables. Much of that rice sustains people who live in war zones. Imagine a volatile belt that half-girdles the planet from Central Asia to West Africa, where women bend over their hearths handling precious grains, acolytes of an ancient order -- the Order of Rice Cooks. Likewise, no recipe can convey the elation of sitting down to eat with one's family after making it through another day during which the world did not kill you outright, of watching between bites as shooting stars slide down an enormous ink-black sky. Adapted from the source document.
