Architect of Death at Auschwitz : John W Primomo
Rudolf Höss has been called the greatest mass murderer in history. As the creator and commandant of Auschwitz, the most notorious Nazi concentration camp, he supervised the killing of more than 1.1 million people.
Unlike many of his Nazi colleagues who denied either knowing about or participating in the Holocaust, Höss frankly admitted, both at the Nuremberg war crimes’ trial and in his memoirs, that he sent hundreds of thousands of Jews to their deaths in the gas chambers.
Although forthcoming about the horrors of Auschwitz, Höss denied personal responsibility, insisting that disobedient subordinates imposed cruelty on Auschwitz inmates. He also blamed Hitler and Himmler for the Final Solution and claimed to be only an unknowing “cog in the wheel of the great extermination machine.”
In truth, Höss utilized his own ingenuity in systematically and efficiently executing Hitler’s order to exterminate European Jews. Contrary to his claim that he was never cruel or mistreated any prisoners, Höss acted with ruthless brutality, wielding his power over life and death mercilessly and without emotion.

Inhabit the Night – A Novel of Human Resiliency : Kenneth Konecnik
“Don’t be judged by who you appear to be; be judged for who you are.”
In the four-part story of Inhabit the Night, an empathetic young teacher, Joanne Walters, is emotionally involved with a singular soul who suddenly finds himself walking in a less fortunate man’s shoes.
Jeremy, a young, musically inclined ad man was well on his way to living the American Dream when he was eerily confronted by another incarnation of himself trying to eke out a living on the streets of New York. Even though this downtrodden stranger, Carlos, had the very same conscious mind, talents and birthmark as Jeremy, the circumstances of his birth were more daunting, and the perception of his hapless appearance had become reality.
Outwardly, Carlos was struggling to find employment and judged to possibly not be in the country legally. Inwardly, he was everything Jeremy was. His impediments to success were many. But his inner strength and caring personality were apparent…especially to his sisters’ teacher, Joanne Walters.
In this life, Joanne was as emotionally supportive of Carlos as if he was in Jeremy’s shoes. Together, they overcome discrimination and prejudice and begin to carve out a road to success, only to be confronted by a homeless man, Howard, who eerily sees himself in Carlos.
The story segues into Howard trying to extricate himself from the sorrowful appearance he projects, through no fault of his own. Howard’s true self resonates with a young teacher from the neighborhood who passes by and feels compelled to help. The connection between Joanne and this version of the same talented, benevolent soul forms instantaneously, and the predestined mutual support follows, until an embodiment of identical talents, abilities and charisma arbitrarily presents itself in the skin of a blind, black man from the inner city.
And Joanne Walters is drawn to the incredibly difficult story and life of Billy Templeton. And the fate that awaits them all.
The Cause of Darkness: A Story of the Civil War : John W. Bebout
The Cause of Darkness blends history with fiction and encompasses a tragic time during the Civil War that residents of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia still call to this day ‘the burning.’
It tells the story of a 16-year-old boy named Teddy Miller who comes of age during this brutal time.
Teddy’s single-minded quest to save his father from execution as a spy reads like a grand adventure, full of gunfights, horse chases and 19th-century justice.
There is even a beautiful Pinkerton detective who plays a major role in Teddy’s exploits. But nearly all the adult characters act solely in their own self-interest and few have Teddy’s welfare at heart.
Teddy takes actions to save his father which have consequences that he cannot fully comprehend; and it is the consequences of these actions that drive the novel to its conclusion.

The FEAR-19 Pandemic : Tommy Madison
We have nothing to fear but fear itself. — Franklin Delano Roosevelt
In this book, author Tommy Madison takes a down to earth look at how the fear of COVID-19 spread faster than the virus itself.
Madison explains how the unfortunate convergence of green journalism, hatred of Donald Trump, and an unprecedented moment in time sparked a pandemic of fear, hysteria, and panic that will have long-lasting and far-reaching consequences.
He takes us through how the science was manipulated and unmasks the people who spread the misinformation. Lies, damn lies, and fake statistics created a mythical COVID boogie man that was much more dangerous than COVID itself.
Instead of “flattening the curve,” we began an epic battle with this mythical monster that led to devastating and unnecessary consequences. The book contains evidence that the lockdowns were not only ineffective but hampered the real effort of reducing COVID’s ability to spread to its most vulnerable populations.
And finally, Madison provides insight on how we can all begin to move forward and recover, so hopefully, we can learn from our mistakes and are not doomed to repeat them.
I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them real facts. — Abraham Lincoln
