We Came from Konigsberg
{Historical: Holocaust}
January 1945, and the Soviet Army is poised for the final push through East Prussia and Poland to Berlin. Elisabet Daeker and her five young sons are in Königsberg, East Prussia, and have heard the stories of Russian atrocities. They seek to escape to the perceived safety of Germany.
This is the story of their struggle to survive, of the hardships endured at the hands of Nazi hardliners, of Soviet troops bent on rape, pillage and murder, and of Allied cruelty in the Occupied Zones of post-war Germany. 'We Came From Königsberg' is based on a true story gleaned from the memories of family members sixty years after the events, from photographs and documents, and from published works of non-fiction describing the times and events that are described in the narrative.
Elisabet Daeker's sons, and subsequent daughters, all have families of their own, and have carved out meaningful lives for themselves in far-flung parts of the world. One thing they all claim, though, is - we came from Königsberg.

Helga's Story: A Child of NAZI Germany
By Peter Woodruff

Living history through the eyes of a young German Girl
Although fiction, Helga's Story is based on recollections of the real Helga, who barely survived the near total destruction of her native Germany.
Like many little girls, Helga Reiter dreams of horses. More than anything, the six-year-old wants to learn to ride and become a great equestrian. But in 1941 the world is at war. Having overrun much Europe and North Africa, Germany's glorious military cannot spare horses for frivolous childhood dreams. It takes three long years before Helga, stubborn as any good German soldier, contrives several ill-fated attempts to ride. Yet by late 1944, Helga must forgo her dream and face a terrible reality; her country is losing. As Germany is crushed between the Soviet and Allied advance, the Reiter family struggles to survive.

Strings
By Sheryle Criswell
{Historical: Holocaust}
This is fifteen-year-old Hanna Berkenski's journey from her family's tiny apartment in the Warsaw Ghetto, through the awful night she spends in a cattle-car with her mother and sister, to her three years as a violinist in the welcoming orchestra at Auschwitz.
The real horror begins as the train arrives at Auschwitz. Hanna's first impression is of a warm welcome because of the flowers and sunshine and music. She has been told she will be spending the next few weeks in a "work" camp until her family is reunited and relocated. Even the snowflakes make her feel a sense of relief...until she realizes they are not snowflakes at all, but ash.
Hanna is taken to Building 11, where the "welcoming" orchestra women are housed. Her red hair is shaved, her arm tattooed, and she is given a blue skirt, a white blouse, and a violin. She is also given a gray dress, which she wears when she is not performing. And then she spends three years in Hell.

Book 2: Mycroft Up Against It
Once again Anna and Mycroft Holmes tear through London in hansom cabs as they pursue three further adventures set in the eighteen-eighties. Mycroft puffs and pants his way through his cases, applying not only his keen mind but also, in one case, the precepts of the Kama Sutra, while Anna hobnobs with Buffalo Bill, Henry Irving and Oscar Wilde. In "The Deadwood Stage" an anarchist threatens mayhem at Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and Anna finds herself having to impersonate Miss Annie Oakley before the Prince of Wales.
Anna is accused of committing murder during a performance at the Lyceum Theatre. Henry Irving and Ellen Terry believe in her innocence, but will Inspector Athelney Jones? The answer lies in "Murder At The Lyceum".
"The Green-painted Door" is the site of a hideous slaying in Wimbledon. Oscar Wilde may exercise his scornful wit, but Mycroft Holmes is roused to action again. His privately-printed copy of the Kama Sutra (translated by Sir Richard Burton) stimulates another kind of action as Anna has every reason to know.
