Eva Braun
Author: Heike B. Gortemaker
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307742601
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
From one of Germany’s leading young historians, the first comprehensive biography of Eva Braun, Hitler’s devoted mistress, finally wife, and the hidden First Lady of the Third Reich. In this groundbreaking biography of Eva Braun, German historian Heike Görtemaker reveals Hitler’s mistress as more than just a vapid blonde whose concerns never extended beyond her vanity table. Twenty-three years his junior, Braun first met Hitler when she took a position as an assistant to his personal photographer. Capricious, but uncompromising and fiercely loyal—she married Hitler two days before committing suicide with him in Berlin in 1945—her identity was kept secret by the Third Reich until the final days of the war. Through exhaustive research, newly discovered documentation, and anecdotal accounts, Görtemaker turns preconceptions about Eva Braun and Hitler on their head, and builds a portrait of the little-known Hitler far from the public eye.

The Private Life of Adolf Hitler the Intimate Notes and Diary of Eva Braun
Author: Eva Braun

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Iit is well known that Eva Braun was the photography assistant and model to Heinrich Hoffmann who had a photography shop in Berlin. Heinrich Hoffmann produced a large number of propaganda pieces for Hitler, some of which have been reprinted, such as "Mit Hitler im Westen or With Hitler in the West" ISBN 487187883X and Jugend um Hitler: 120 Bilddokumente aus der Umgebung des Fuhrers or Youth around Hitler: 120 picture documents from the environment of the leader ISBN 4871879100. We know that Hitler had relations with many women. Most of them did not live long. Eva Braun was merely the last one. We know she was the last one because she committed suicide with him on 30 April 1945, just one day after they had gotten married. Goebbels and Bormann signed as witnesses to the marriage. That is another question we would like to have answered. Eva Braun was a young woman with everything to live for. Why would she commit suicide with a Dirty Old Man like Hitler? She could have walked away, saved her own life and become a cult leader of the NEW Hitler Movement or something. Why show her devotion to him by killing herself?"

Book Description
BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY: HISTORICAL, POLITICAL & MILITARY. Who was Eva Braun, wife of Adolf Hitler? The answers are revealed here through remarkable personal photographs The year 2012 marks the centenary of Eva Braun's birth. This is the strange-but-true saga of her life, richly illustrated from her own personal photograph albums, as well as from other captured German archives. She married German dictator Adolf Hitler only 36 hours before their joint suicides in Berlin on April 30 1945, in the last week of World War II. This exciting pictorial biography tells the full story of a Catholic convent-bred young woman - not only as the secret mistress, as many historians have painted her since her voluntary death at age 33 - but also as Hitler's lawfully wedded wife, even though she is still largely referred to today by her maiden name. They met at a Munich photography shop in 1929; she was 17, and he was already 40.

What She Ate
Author: Laura Shapiro
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0698178947
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2017 One of NPR Fresh Air's "Books to Close Out a Chaotic 2017" NPR's Book Concierge Guide To 2017’s Great Reads “How lucky for us readers that Shapiro has been listening so perceptively for decades to the language of food.” —Maureen Corrigan, NPR Fresh Air Six “mouthwatering” (Eater.com) short takes on six famous women through the lens of food and cooking, probing how their attitudes toward food can offer surprising new insights into their lives, and our own. Everyone eats, and food touches on every aspect of our lives—social and cultural, personal and political. Yet most biographers pay little attention to people’s attitudes toward food, as if the great and notable never bothered to think about what was on the plate in front of them. Once we ask how somebody relates to food, we find a whole world of different and provocative ways to understand her. Food stories can be as intimate and revealing as stories of love, work, or coming-of-age. Each of the six women in this entertaining group portrait was famous in her time, and most are still famous in ours; but until now, nobody has told their lives from the point of view of the kitchen and the table. What She Ate is a lively and unpredictable array of women; what they have in common with one another (and us) is a powerful relationship with food. They include Dorothy Wordsworth, whose food story transforms our picture of the life she shared with her famous poet brother; Rosa Lewis, the Edwardian-era Cockney caterer who cooked her way up the social ladder; Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady and rigorous protector of the worst cook in White House history; Eva Braun, Hitler’s mistress, who challenges our warm associations of food, family, and table; Barbara Pym, whose witty books upend a host of stereotypes about postwar British cuisine; and Helen Gurley Brown, the editor of Cosmopolitan, whose commitment to “having it all” meant having almost nothing on the plate except a supersized portion of diet gelatin.

Hitler's Last Secretary
Author: Traudl Junge
Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing Inc.
ISBN: 1611453232
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
In 1942 Germany, Traudl Junge was a young woman with dreams of becoming a ballerina when she was offered the chance of a lifetime. At the age of twenty-two she became private secretary to Adolf Hitler and served him for two and a half years, right up to the bitter end. Junge observed the intimate workings of Hitler's administration, she typed correspondence and speeches, including Hitler's public and private last will and testament; she ate her meals and spent evenings with him; and she was close enough to hear the bomb that was intended to assassinate Hitler in the Wolf's Lair, close enough to smell the bitter almond odor of Eva Braun's cyanide pill. In her intimate, detailed memoir, Junge invites readers to experience day-to-day life with the most horrible dictator of the twentieth century. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as villains from history, such as Heinrich Himmler, John Wayne Gacy, and O. J. Simpson. We have also published survivor stories of World War II, memoirs about overcoming adversity, first-hand tales of adventure, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
