A new chance arises to get outside and get moving! Here are a few ways to stay healthy this spring. 1. As the weather gets warmer you can take a bike ride around your neighborhood or your house. Regular cycling has many benefits like increased cardiovascular fitness, increased flexibility and muscle strength, joint mobility improvement, stress level decline, posture and coordination improvement, strengthened bones, body fat level decline, disease management or prevention, and finally anxiety and depression reduction. 2. Go for a run. You can run around your house or your neighborhood. There are many health benefits to regular running (or jogging!) Some are improved muscle and bone strength, increased cardiovascular fitness, and it helps to preserve a healthy weight. 3. Go for a hike. Hiking is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and have a great workout at the same time! Hiking can reduce your risk of heart disease, enhance your blood sugar levels and your blood pressure, and it can boost your mood. Here are some great day hikes near Saratoga! You can hike Hadley Mountain, Spruce Mountain, the John Boyd Thacher State Park, Prospect Mountain, Buck Mountain, Shelving Rock Falls & Summit, Cat Mountain, Sleeping Beauty, Thomas Mountain, and Crane Mountain. I have hiked Cat Mountain before, and I loved it! When you reach the summit it has a great view of the ENTIRE Lake George.

  • Misconceptions
    Misconceptions (from Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center) Norwegian non-Jews wore paper clips to express solidarity with Norwegian Jewry When the Germans occupied Norway in June 1940, between 1700 and 1800 Jews lived there – most of them in Oslo and all but 200 of them Norwegian citizens. Acceding to German demands, the collaborationist government immediately implemented anti-Jewish legislation. In November 1942, in response to further demands, the government rounded up more than 700 Jews, who were subsequently deported to Auschwitz where most were killed. Although the Norwegian resistance managed to smuggle the remaining Jews to neutral Sweden, the wearing of paper clips had nothing to do with demonstrating support for these efforts or solidarity with Norwegian Jewry. Rather, it represented one of many non-violent expressions of Norwegian nationalism and loyalty to King Haakon VII. These included listening secretly to foreign news broadcasts, printing and distributing underground newspapers and wearing pins fashioned from coins with the king’s head brightly polished, from various “flowers of loyalty,” from the symbol “H7” (for Haakon VII), and – for a time, after the latter were outlawed – from paper clips (also occasionally worn as bracelets). Why paper clips? Presumably – although some dispute this – because they were invented by a Norwegian named Johan Vaaler in 1899. Although, ironically, he had to patent the device in Germany because Norway had no patent law at the time. Vaaler did nothing more with his invention and, in subsequent years, paper clips would be manufactured and mass-marketed by firms in the United States and Great Britain (most notably, the Gem Company of Great Britain – originators of the familiar “double- U” slide-on clips, which the Norwegians may very well have worn.) The Germans used crushed Jewish bones to pave the Autobahn The Germans crushed Jewish bones in two specific contexts only.

It examines the developments in the period between 1933 and 1955. During this time high-ranking Nazis, local residents, tourists and pilgrims appropriated the house for their purposes by creating various narratives about this space. As unimportant as the house might have been to Hitler himself from the point of view of sentimentality and childhood nostalgia, it had great propaganda value for promoting the image of the private Führer. Braunau itself was turned into a tourist destination and pilgrimage site during the Nazi period—and beyond.

  • 67 Why Her? Adolf Hitler's Attraction to Eva Braun Natalie Williamson
    Why Her? Adolf Hitler’s Attraction to Eva Braun Natalie Williamson Adolf Hitler has been studied by a multitude of historians in hopes of understanding this charismatic figure who somehow seduced millions.1 The German populace, of course, saw Hitler as restoring their nation to its former glory. German women, in particular, saw in Hitler a softer side, even though Hitler ensured his private life remained concealed from the public. Indeed, only his closest associates actually knew the Führer. As a result, a series of important questions come to the fore when trying to understand Adolf Hitler, especially as they touch upon his relationship with his mistress and later wife, Eva Braun. Their relationship has largely been a mystery because he kept her locked away from the public for his own personal benefit. Braun herself, left a very small historical footprint, with almost no primary source information. Adolf Hitler’s childhood experiences shaped his personality. Understanding his likely psychopathology, along with his beliefs about the character, appropriate roles, and innate identities of women, allows one to make informed inferences about the dynamic of his relationship with Braun. Hitler was drawn to Braun and continued their relationship because she assuaged his insecurities, serving as a surrogate mother figure, filling the void left after the death of Hitler’s mother, Klara, and exhibiting unquestioning loyalty to him. Braun tolerated his unceasingly manipulative, conniving, and brutish behaviors, whether or not she actually recognized them as such. Her behavior and attitudes conformed almost entirely to his notions of what the ideal woman might be, and in return he gave her attention, but only when it suited him.

  • Hitler Avant Hitler. Essai D'interprétation Psychanalytique
    LE LIEU DE LA PERSONNE Collection dirigée par Michel-Claude Jalard Des grands personnages qui ont marqué leur époque, il ne nous reste plus que des traces : quelques dates, quelques faits, quelques souvenirs rapportés, quelques confidences écrites, une œuvre accomplie. Mais où est leur personne, quel est le lieu où elle se définit, le lieu où elle a lieu ? La présente collection se pro- pose d'éclairer cette « mise en scène », à l'intersection des conflits imaginaires, historiques et politiques. La théorie psychanalytique y est mise au service d'une re- cherche où s'inscrit la ren- contre d'un écrivain avec telle figure significative de l'histoire, des lettres ou des arts.

Avant-propos Hitler aurait cette année quatre-vingt-trois ans. Il pourrait donc vivre encore, et le monde serait tout autre. Mais qui peut réellement prétendre qu'il ne survit pas ? Le monde actuel est ce qu'il est parce qu'Hitler a existé. Les méthodes politiques qui lui ont permis de tenir en main tout un pays, d'en faire réagir tous les citoyens comme s'ils n'étaient qu'un seul homme, demeurent aujourd'hui encore d'une nou- veauté, d'une efficacité telles que les gouvernements, même les plus éloignés en esprit de l'hitlérisme, ne peuvent s'empêcher de les utiliser.

  • Book Two the ARTIST
    Chapter V – A Well Respected Man 159 Book Two THE ARTIST 160 Chapter V – A Well Respected Man Chapter V - A Well Respected Man 161 A WELL RESPECTED MAN The business of the Civil Service is the orderly management of decline. William Armstrong In the Year of the Lord 1889, the Austrian Emperor Francis Joseph celebrated his fifty-ninth birthday and forty-first anniversary of his reign over the vast Empire of Austria and Hungary; when he died, in 1916, he had ruled the state for sixty-eight years. The realm was huge - covering over 180,000 square miles or about 450,000 square kilometres. The emperor's domains stretched, in the east-west axis, from Czernowitz on the Dniester River in today's Ukraine to Vorarlberg on the Swiss border, and, in the north-south axis, from the lower Elbe River near Aussig to Ragusa in the Bosnian Hercegovina, two thirds down the eastern Adriatic coast. Ethnically and thus politically, however, these territories were hopelessly divided. The racial diversity of the Imperial population included Germans in Austria, Hungary and the Sudetenland; Czechs in Bohemia and Moravia; Slovaks to their east; Poles in western Galicia and Ruthenians, Catholic Ukrainians, in the eastern part of it; Magyars in Hungary and Transylvania interspersed with some more Germans and Romanians; Slovenes, Friaulians and Italians south of the Julian Alps; and finally Croats, Bosnians, Albanians, Montenegrinos and Serbs in and around the Balkan mountains. All these groups fought incessant but mostly inconclusive battles over appointments, representation and influence in the empire and its court, while a laborious civil administration struggled with the actual governance of the multitudes.

All rights reserved. - 2 - Preface to the First Edition bout seventeen hundred years ago an ecclesiastical historian by the name of A Eusebius presented a startling discovery to the Christian world - he had found some original letters written by Jesus Christ to a man named Abgar. What should have been one of the greatest discoveries in Christian history was marred by one little problem - the letters turned out to be forgeries. More than this, it turned out that Eusebius was the culprit! One might reasonably expect that such a revelation would cast serious doubt on Eusebius’ entire career. Not so! His works are still widely quoted as authoritative source material in Christian church history. Back in the eleventh century Pope Gregory VII occasionally found himself fettered by the lack of documentation for his papal decrees.

  • Unverkäufliche Leseprobe
    Unverkäufliche Leseprobe Die Hitlers Die unbekannte Familie des Führers von Wolfgang Zdral ISBN 978-3-404-61631-2 © 2008 by Verlagsgruppe Lübbe GmbH & Co. KG 1 Familiengeheimnisse Es klingt wie eine abstruse Vorlage für einen Film. Da treten ein Mann und eine Frau vor den Traualtar und stellen plötzlich fest, dass sie gar nicht heiraten können. Der Grund ist besonders pein- lich: Die beiden sind miteinander verwandt. Ein legitimiertes Ver- hältnis würde also Inzucht bedeuten, Blutschande. Was der Sache besondere Würze verleiht, ist die Tatsache, dass der Bräutigam nicht genau weiß, wer sein Vater ist – seine Mutter hat den Namen mit ins Grab genommen. Um das Ganze zusätzlich zu dramatisie- ren, könnte ein Regisseur auf die Idee kommen, die Vermählung als Zwangsehe darzustellen, weil die Frau bereits hochschwanger ist. Damit noch immer nicht zufrieden, spitzt er die Geschichte mit einer anderen Frau zu, der Noch-Ehefrau. Die ringt mit dem Tode, während sich die beiden Liebenden im Nebenzimmer im Bett ver- gnügen … Weit hergeholt? Nicht im Geringsten – willkommen mitten in der Familiengeschichte der Hitlers! Die beiden Haupt- darsteller heißen Alois Hitler und Klara Pölzl. Sie werden später traurige Berühmtheit erlangen als Eltern eines Jahrhundertver- brechers. Nachbarn, die der großen, adretten Klara auf der Straße begeg- nen, vermuten hinter dem freundlichen Gesicht, den blaugrauen Augen, dem schlichten Kleid, den sorgsam zurückgekämmten Haaren kaum die Mutter eines Bösewichts. Klara ist eine stille Frau, Verwandte und Freunde beschreiben sie als höflich, zurück- haltend, im Haushalt penibel auf Ordnung bedacht. Für den jungen Adolf ist sie der einzige Bezugspunkt in der Familie. Später wird er 10 D IE H ITLERS einen Kult um seine tote Mutter pflegen.

  • Peter Keglevic I Was Hitler's Best
    Peter Keglevic I was Hitler’s Best Man Literary Fiction Siedler 576 pages September 2017 A grandiose tragicomical novel featuring Harry Freudenthal, Eva Braun, Leni Riefenstahl, HJ Syberberg and many others, including Adolf Hitler Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945. The small town of Berchtesgaden, Adolf Hitler’s favourite place in the Bavarian mountains, prepares for the 13th instalment of the popular people’s run “Running for the Fuehrer”. The route through the Thousand-Year Reich – documented by Leni Riefenstahl – includes the most important cities of the Nazi movement, the goal of the run is to demonstrate the German people’s desire to win the war as well as their eternal loyalty to the Fuehrer. And like every year, the winner has the honour of personally wishing Adolf Hitler a happy birthday on the 20th of April in Berlin. But unlike the years before, there are very few volunteers, and most candidates look like they’ll never be able to survive the ordeal. Leni Riefenstahl is less than pleased with the “people material” on offer – until a tall blonde man escorted by policemen catches her eye just as the runners are lining up. Leni is adamant that this picture-perfect Arian, Paul Renner, should take part in the run. What neither she nor the organizers know: Paul’s real name is Harry Freudenthal, and he is a Jew from Berlin who went into hiding in Vienna in 1943 and is now trying to survive the last weeks of the Nazi regime disguised as a pilgrim on his way to Santiago de Compostela.
