   The gripping tale about two boys, once as close as brothers, who find themselves on opposite sides of the Holocaust. Elliot Rosenzweig, a respected civic leader and wealthy philanthropist, is attending a fundraiser when he is suddenly accosted and accused of being a former Nazi SS officer named Otto Piatek, the Butcher of Zamosc. Although the charges are denounced as preposterous, his accuser is convinced he is right and engages attorney Catherine Lockhart to bring Rosenzweig to justice. Solomon persuades attorney Catherine Lockhart to take his case, revealing that the true Piatek was abandoned as a child and raised by Solomon's own family only to betray them during the Nazi occupation. But has Solomon accused the right man? Once We Were Brothers is Ronald H. Balson's compelling tale of two boys and a family who struggle to survive in war-torn Poland, and a young love that struggles to endure the unspeakable cruelty of the Holocaust. Two lives, two worlds, and sixty years converge in an explosive race to redemption that makes for a moving and powerful tale of love, survival, and ultimately the triumph of the human spirit.

   "A 'fixer' in a Polish town during World War II, his betrayal of a Jewish family, and a search for justice 25 years later. Eli's Promise spans three eras--Nazi-occupied Poland, the American Zone of post-war Germany, and Chicago at the height of the Vietnam War. 1939: Eli Rosen lives with his wife Esther and their young son in the Polish town of Lublin, where his family owns a construction company. As a consequence of the Nazi occupation, Eli's company is Aryanized, appropriated and transferred to Maximilian Poleski-an unprincipled profiteer who peddles favors to Lublin's subjugated residents. An uneasy alliance is formed; Poleski will keep the Rosen family safe if Eli will manage the business. Will Poleski honor his promise or will their relationship end in betrayal and tragedy? 1946: Eli resides with his son in a displaced persons camp in Allied-occupied Germany hoping for a visa to America. His wife has been missing since the war. One man is sneaking around the camps selling illegal visas; might he know what has happened to her? 1965: Eli rents a room in Albany Park, Chicago. He is on a mission. With patience, cunning, and relentless focus, he navigates unfamiliar streets and dangerous political backrooms, searching for the truth. Powerful and emotional, Ronald H. Balson's Eli's Promise is a rich, rewarding novel of World War II and a husband's quest for justice."-- Provided by publisher

6. Obhajoba Britty Steinové

   • Ronald H. Balson

   • 15 hodin čítania

   Chicago, 2018. Ole Henryks, majitel oblíbené restaurace, v Chicagu dobře známý i z místní televize, má být za své mnohaleté občanské a dobročinné aktivity vyznamenán chicagskou asociací dánsko-amerického přátelství a uveden do síně slávy. Ole proslul zejména svými činy za druhé světové války v nacisty okupovaném Dánsku a většina lidí ho považuje za hrdinu. Ale Britta Steinová nikoli. Tato dvaadevadesátiletá chicagská dáma vznáší proti Henryksovi veřejná obvinění – po nocích sprejuje na zdi jeho restaurace nápisy jako „lhář,“, „vlastizrádce“, „kolaborant“ či „udavač“. Posléze je zatčena a obviněna z trestného činu poškozování majetku a rozhořčený Ole Henryks na ni podá žalobu pro nactiutrhání a záměrné působení emocionální újmy. Advokátka Catherine Lockhartová zpočátku váhá, ale nakonec souhlasí, že se obhajoby paní Steinové ujme. Má-li však najít důkazy, které prokážou nevinu její klientky, musí se za přispění svého investigativního manžela Liama Taggarta vrátit do časů válečného Dánska.
