Produktbeschreibung
A Jewish family, victimized by anti-Semitism in Poland and Germany, flees to Minsk, Byelorussia, and eventually to the Minsk forests when the Soviet Union is invaded by Nazi Germany during World War II. They become partisan fighters, and in an unusual collaboration with other Jews, a Polish Jewish World War I veteran, a Byelorussian Christian, and two Russian partisan leaders, they join forces to wreak havoc behind Nazi lines. The author hopes that A Jewish Story will help the reader to better comprehend the European Jewish experience, including two world wars, learn about the geopolitical factors that resulted in the rise of Adolph Hitler and his quest to control Europe and destroy Europe's Jews, and allow those who hear fanatical leaders making modern-day threats believe and take to heart the famous sayings, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" or "Only the dead have seen the end of war."
Autorenporträt
A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Sheldon Cohen has practiced internal medicine and served as the medical director of three organizations: Alexian Brother's Medical Center of Northwest Suburban Chicago, Cigna Health plan of Illinois, and Humanacare Plus of Illinois. The author taught internal medicine and physical diagnosis to medical students from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and the Chicago Medical School. Recognizing the fact that busy physicians are pressed for time and thus often fail to capture a thorough medical history, the author developed one of the first computerized medical history systems for private practice and wrote a paper on his experience with 1500 patients who utilized the system. This was one of the early efforts in promoting electronic health records, a work in progress to this day. Serving as a consultant for Joint Commission Resources of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the author did quality consultations at hospitals in the United States, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Copenhagen, Denmark, and served as a consultant to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine, assisting them in the development of a hospital accrediting body. Dr. Cohen is the author of 36 books.
