An unsuitable match by the standards of the day, these two congenial young people would soon realize a regard for one another strong enough to defy any proscription.Although they are both unmarried Catholics, the Nazis have decreed any relationship between an Austrian and a Pole to be strictly forbidden. The couple meet in secret; for a year they successfully elude detection until, in the summer of 1941, they are betrayed. Arrested and sent to Gestapo headquarters, they face the implacable savagery of Nazi “justice.”The Courtship of Julian & Frieda is a story about destiny, tyranny and the power of true love; a factual account of two unworldly young lovers who, through sheer luck and unselfish devotion, overcome unimaginable odds to be together.

Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world with the lowest longevity rate of only forty-four years. It has been devastated by thirty years of war and lacks good management of its vast resources. However, what people don’t know is that it is also home to many spectacular natural resources, rare geological landmarks, and extraordinary wildlife. Author Kenneth Michael Brophy invites you to view a different side of Afghanistan through A Photo Journal: Seldom Seen Sights: Afghanistan Edition. Afghanistan may presently be economically poor; but it is rich in culture, history, heritage, resources, creative and competent people, and natural beauty. A Photo Journal: Seldom Seen Sights is not about weapons, war, or violence. Instead, it offers a look into the other side of Afghanistan—the everyday world of its thirty-two million people—how the citizens live and work here, day in and day out. Having traveled to most of the thirty-four provinces in Afghanistan in the past few years, the author has built up a collection of what he believes are seldom-seen sights. Explore Afghans’ remote villages; its exceptional history, monuments, and national parks; its art and music; and fl ora and fauna. Afghanistan is not a vast place, but its ruggedness more than makes up for its small scale. Witness how Brophy captured the power, majesty, and beauty of its natural surroundings. His intriguing images depict the rare, the unusual, the unfortunate, the wonders of the world, simple but elegant rural lifestyles, and unique cultures. His candid photographs of people are real, believable and sometimes touching. The fact that these people are not models adds a depth of realism and vividly portrays human feelings of sorrow, hardship, pain, suffering, joy, and pleasure. Explore these seldom seen sights and appreciate the majestic and beautiful side of Afghanistan.

General Patton, foreseeing the oncoming conflict with the Soviet Union, wanted to save the Russian Liberation Army and asked permission from President Truman. Truman refused and, as a result, all Russian military units were forcibly repatriated to Siberia, including George’s grandfather, who was a Russian Orthodox priest of a Cossack unit. He died in the concentration camp in 1946. After the war George Mordwinkin studied Chemical Engineering at Graz University in Austria. In 1948 his whole family immigrated to Chile, where he studied and worked as an electrical engineer.
