On a November day in 1940, Adam Paskow becomes a prisoner in the Warsaw Ghetto, where the Jews of the city are cut off from their former lives and held captive by Nazi guards to await an uncertain fate. Weeks later, he is approached by a mysterious figure with a surprising request: Would he join a secret group of archivists working to preserve the truth of what is happening inside these walls? Adam agrees and begins taking testimonies from his students, friends, and neighbors.

So riveting and real. The main character seemed so real and human. Highly Recommend and gives a difficult and changing view of the Warsaw ghetto

In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

Caste inequality

Broad and well researched about all that those that are African-American have faced since the before the beginning of our country. So many great parallels drawn. Should be read by all.

How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping account of the last 75 years of white evangelicalism, showing how American evangelicals have worked for decades to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism.

Snarky and skeptical
Revisado: 11-07-22
As the book got closer to the end I enjoyed it more. The rest of it seemed a point by point strike against every portion of history of the evangelical church in the last 50 years told in a very cynical way. It was also spoken in, what seemed to me, a snarky voice. I would recommend it though because it gives such a broad overview of the overly misogynistic bent the Evangelical church has now taken.

A New York Times Top 10 Book of the Year and National Book Award finalist, Pachinko is an "extraordinary epic" of four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family as they fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan (San Francisco Chronicle). In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant - and that her lover is married - she refuses to be bought.

Good story and history

Love the history and learning about the relations between Korea and Japan through this family. Sometimes there seemed extraneous storylines that didn’t tie in.

Towards the end of the 19th century and for the first few years of the 20th, a strange invasion took place in Britain. The citadel of power, privilege, and breeding in which the titled, land-owning governing class had barricaded itself for so long was breached. The incomers were a group of young women who, 50 years earlier, would have been looked on as the alien denizens of another world - the New World, to be precise. From 1874 - the year that Jennie Jerome, the first known "Dollar Princess", married Randolph Churchill - to 1905, dozens of young American heiresses married into the British peerage....

Didn’t realize it was non fiction when I purchased but I’m glad. It was very interesting. I looked lots of the names up and learned a ton.

In 1941, Marie Jalowicz Simon, a 19-year-old Berliner, made an extraordinary decision. All around her, Jews were being rounded up for deportation, forced labor, and extermination. Marie took off her yellow star, turned her back on the Jewish community, and vanished into the city. In the years that followed, Marie lived under an assumed identity, forced to accept shelter wherever she found it.

Interesting Narrative
Revisado: 03-28-18
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I don't think it could be changed, nor should it. This was an historical narrative of what happened in her life.
Was Underground in Berlin worth the listening time?
Yes, if just to learn from the historical narrative. It was fascinating to here what Marie was like and what those around her were like in her eyes.
Any additional comments?
I would not, personally, have wanted to know her because she judged almost everyone she met and knew so harshly both in their character and appearance. This part of the story grew old for me.
