Two such Americans were Martha and Waitstill Sharp, who were originally sent to Prague as part of a relief effort but turned immediately to helping Jews and dissidents after the 1939 invasion by Germany. They were not the only ones. Renowned historian Debórah Dwork follows the story of rescue workers in five major cities as the refugee crisis expanded to Vilna, Shanghai, Marseille, and Lisbon. Followed by Nazi agents, spiriting people across borders, they learned secrecy. Others negotiated with government representatives, like Laura Margolis, who worked with the Japanese, to get enough food and warm shelter for the refugees in Shanghai. Yet, the women also often faced lack of support from their agencies; if part of a couple, they fought to get paid even at a low salary despite working as long and hard as their husbands. Moving and revelatory, Saints and Liars illuminates the unpredictable circumstances and often fast-changing historical events with which these aid workers contended, while revealing the moral questions they encountered and the devastating decisions they had to make. Drawing on a multitude of archival documents, from letters to diaries and memos, Dwork offers us a rare glimpse into the lives of individuals who--at times with their organizations' backing, but sometimes against their directives--sought to help people find safe haven from persecution." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6710663</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6710663</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dwork, Deborah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6710663109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Story of Americans Who Saved Refugees From the Nazis</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324020349/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Valiant Women]]></title><description><![CDATA[In this groundbreaking new history of the role of American women in World War II, Andrews presents the inspiring, shocking and heartbreaking stories of the 350,000 American women who served in uniform during World War II.

This book is about the Americans who tried to stop their nation from fighting in one of history's most destructive wars and then were hounded by the government when they refused to back down. In the riveting War Against War, Michael Kazin brings us into the ranks of the largest, most diverse, and most sophisticated peace coalition up to that point in US history. They came from a variety of backgrounds: wealthy and middle and working class, urban and rural, white and black, Christian and Jewish and atheist. They mounted street demonstrations and popular exhibitions, attracted prominent leaders from the labor and suffrage movements, ran peace candidates for local and federal office, and founded new organizations that endured beyond the cause. For almost three years, they helped prevent Congress from authorizing a massive increase in the size of the US army--a step advocated by ex-president Theodore Roosevelt. Soon after the end of the Great War, most Americans believed it had not been worth fighting. And when its bitter legacy led to the next world war, the warnings of these peace activists turned into a tragic prophecy--and the beginning of a surveillance state that still endures today. War Against War is a dramatic account of a major turning point in the history of the United States and the world"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5503382</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5503382</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kazin, Michael, 1948-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5503382109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The American Fight for Peace, 1914-1918</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781476705903/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women of World War II]]></title><description><![CDATA[American women were the secret weapon that won World War II and in the process, changed the world.

Memories of a Tuskegee Airmen Nurse and Her Military Sisters focuses on a four-year period from 1942 to 1946 during World War II when up to twenty-eight women from the Army Nurse Corps staffed the station hospital on the base where the future Tuskegee Airmen were undergoing basic and advanced pilot training. These women were African Americans, graduates of nursing schools throughout the country, registered nurses, and lieutenants in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps. They were military officers, and the pilot cadets saluted them. Pia Marie Winters Jordan's mother was one of those angels of mercy. Her mother, the former first lieutenant Louise Lomax, did not talk much about her ten years of military nursing, but nonetheless, her Tuskegee Army Flying School scrapbook told a story. Although Jordan may have seen this scrapbook when she was much younger, only when her mother became ill and had to be cared for in a nursing home, did Jordan, Louise's only child, take a closer look, as she began organizing belongings in the process of closing her mother's apartment. Jordan saw that the Tuskegee Airmen were not the only ones making Black history during World War II; nurses also had to fight gender as well as racial discrimination. Through her research, she found out more about them. It was time for their story to be told"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6444454</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6444454</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jordan, Pia Marie Winters, 1956-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6444454109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781588384836/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Valiant Women]]></title><description><![CDATA["An ingenious look at WWII."--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)A groundbreaking new history of the role of American servicewomen in WWII, illuminating their forgotten yet essential contributions to the Allies' victory.

If nurses are needed so desperately, why isn't the Army using colored nurses: My arm gets a little sore slinging a shovel or a pick, but then I forget about it when I think about all those boys over in the Solomons. Victory tells the stories of African American women who did extraordinary things to help their country during World War II. In these pages young readers meet a range of remarkable women: war workers, political activists, military women, volunteers, and entertainers. Some, such as Mary McLeod Bethune and Lena Horne, were celebrated in their lifetimes and are well known today. But many others fought discrimination at home and abroad in order to contribute to the war effort yet were overlooked during those years and forgotten by later generations. Double Victory recovers the stories of these courageous women, such as Hazel Dixon Payne, the only woman to serve on the remote Alaska-Canadian Highway; Deverne Calloway, a Red Cross worker who led a protest at an army base in India; and Betty Murphy Phillips, the only black female overseas war correspondent. Offering a new and diverse perspective on the war and including source notes and a bibliography, Double Victory is an invaluable addition to any student's or history buff's bookshelf.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6139157</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6139157</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mullenbach, Cheryl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6139157109</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How African American Women Broke Race and Gender Barriers to Help Win World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781613745335/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kalamazoo Gals]]></title><description><![CDATA[According to company lore, Gibson, the guitar manufacturer, had ceased guitar production during World War II, with only "seasoned craftsmen" too old for battle doing repairs and completing the few instruments already in progress at their Kalamazoo, Michigan factory. However, beginning in 1942, Gibson started producing wartime guitars each marked with a small, golden "banner" displaying the slogan: "only a Gibson is good enough". Over 9000 of these "Banner" guitars were produced between 1942 and 1945 and they are considered to be some of the finest acoustic guitars ever produced but who was making them? In this work of musical and social history, Thomas explores the origins of the Gibson "Banner" guitars and the remarkable women, many of whom had no prior training in instrument construction, who built them.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5397225</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C5397225</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thomas, John, 1955-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5397225109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Story of Extraordinary Women &amp; Gibson&apos;s &quot;Banner&quot; Guitars of WWII</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780983082781/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Girls, Good Food, Good Fun]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C3249480</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C3249480</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Winchell, Meghan K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3249480109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Story of USO Hostesses During World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780807832370/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanks for the Memories]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C1194241</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C1194241</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Leder, Jane Mersky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1194241109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Love, Sex, and World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780275988791/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flying Higher]]></title><description><![CDATA[Discusses the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) and their role during World War II.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C884461</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C884461</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Langley, Wanda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/884461109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780208025067/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dearest Ones]]></title><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C618537</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C618537</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Norwalk, Rosemary, 1919-]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/618537109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A True World War II Love Story</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780471320494/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eating for Victory]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mandatory food rationing during World War II significantly challenged the image of the United States as a land of plenty and collapsed the boundaries between women's public and private lives by declaring home production and consumption to be political activities. Examining the food-related propaganda surrounding rationing, Eating For Victory decodes the dual message purveyed by the government and the media: while mandatory rationing was necessary to provide food for U.S. and Allied troops overseas, women on the home front were also "required" to provide their families with nutritious food.
