The March of the Living

For 25 years, the March of the Living has organized visits for adults and students from all over the world to Poland, where millions of Jews were enslaved and murdered during WWII by Nazi Germany. The organization's goal is not only remembrance and ongoing witness to the terrible events of the past, but also a looking forward. They want to inspire participants to build a world free of oppression and intolerance, a world of freedom, democracy and justice for all members of the human family. Rooted in a touring exhibit launched at the United Nations, this book is a compilation of photographs and text that give firsthand accounts from the survivors who have participated in March of the Living programs, together with reaction and responses from the people, young students in particular, of many faiths and cultures who have traveled with the group over the years. "I tell my story for the purpose of improving humanity, drop by drop by drop," says Holocaust survivor and March of the Living participant Pinchas Gutter. At a recent memorial event, US President Barack Obama defined the purpose of Holocaust remembrance by praising Gutter's words: "Those are the words of one survivor . . . performing the sacred duty of memory that will echo throughout eternity. Those are good words for all of us to live by."

Washington Crosses the Delaware

Following the battle of White River and the fall of Forts Washington and Lee during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), George Washington withdrew his army, crossing the Delaware River to regroup. However, with morale at a critical low and the terms of enlistment of many of his troops set to expire, Washington decided on one more strike before the winter weather made military operations impossible. Re-crossing the Delaware on Christmas night, 1776, Washington's army surprised the Hessian garrison at Trenton and managed to kill, wound or capture 1,000 of the enemy for the loss of only four men. Then, avoiding a major engagement with the British Army under General Cornwallis that had been sent to track him down, Washington attacked and defeated another small British force at Princeton. Having inflicted two costly and embarrassing defeats on the British forces, Washington withdrew his army into winter quarters at Morristown. Using a combination of modern photographs and period artwork, this book tells the story of the legendary campaign that restored the morale of American forces, caused the British to abandon large parts of New Jersey, and established General George Washington's reputation as a daring military strategist.

Essays

The international sensation that illuminates the experiences women are supposed to hide--from addiction, anger, sexual assault, and infertility to joy, sensuality, and love.

WINNER OF THE AN POST IRISH BOOK OF THE YEAR * "Emilie Pine's voice is razor-sharp and raw; her story is utterly original yet as familiar as my own breath."--Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love Warrior

In this dazzling debut, Emilie Pine speaks to the events that have marked her life--those emotional disruptions for which our society has no adequate language, at once bittersweet, clandestine, and ordinary. She writes with radical honesty on the unspeakable grief of infertility, on caring for an alcoholic parent, on taboos around female bodies and female pain, on sexual violence and violence against the self. This is the story of one woman, and of all women.

Devastating, poignant, and wise--and joyful against the odds--Notes to Self is an unforgettable exploration of what it feels like to be alive, and a daring act of rebellion against a society that is more comfortable with women's silence.

Praise for Notes to Self

"Notes to Self begins as a deceptively simple catalogue of the injustices of modern female life and slyly emerges as a screaming treatise on just what it means to make your own rules, turning the hand you've been dealt into the coolest game in town. Emilie Pine is like your best friend--if your best friend was so sharp she drew blood."--Lena Dunham, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl

"To read these essays is to understand the human condition more clearly, to reassess one's place in the world, and to reclaim one's own experiences as real and valid."--Sunday Independent

"Harrowing, clear-eyed . . . Everyone should consider [this] priority reading."--Sunday Business Post

"Incredible and insightful--an absolute must-read."--The Skinny 

"Agonizing, uncompromising, starkly brilliant. . . . [A] short, gleamingly instructive book, both memoir and psychological exploration--a platform for that insistent internal voice that almost any woman . . . wishes they had ignored."--Financial Times

"Do not read this book in public. It will make you cry."--Anne Enright
