A Boy, a Ship, and a War

A Tin Can Sailor on the USS VanValkenburg, Claud recalls his WWII days on the Pacific.
Learn about WWII from one who lived it. Claud Aldrich was a tin-can sailor, serving on the USS VanValkenburg and taking the ghosts of USS Arizona with them, since this newly commissioned ship was named for the Captain of the battleship sunk during Pearl Harbor.

Claud was a poor boy, one of nine children, seven boys and two girls, drafted in to the United States Navy, an entirely new world, which he knew nothing about. There was a rude awakening for him, to shape up to the facts of life on a warship in a time of war. Learning to be in harm's way and survive.

The Remnant
The Jewish Resistance in WWII

'I can't kill Nazis if I m dead...' Solomon Shalensky

After researching the transcripts of the Nuremburg Trials and interviewing The Remnant or Jewish survivors of the holocaust, many still living in Israel; Othniel Seiden was compelled to write their startling and remarkable stories of World War II. In this stunning and compelling historical novel about the Jews who were able to remain free and fight, Seiden documents their survival, their suffering, their missions and their guerrilla warfare tactics against the Nazi occupation forces.

Also, well documented, the tragedy of Kiev and sinister and deadly ravine of Babi Yar where it is thought that over a million people, Jews and Jewish sympathizers alike were massacred. These brave few escaped the certain death of their co-religionists by acts of bravery and sheer determination to live. The myth that the Jewish people went to their deaths like sheep to slaughter... is put to rest forever in the stories of The Remnant.
