Vincent van Gogh committed suicide in 1890, and his brother, Theo, died soon thereafter. His widow, Johanna, was left with many paintings and the desire for Vincent's recognition. In this historical novel, Johanna hires Armand Roulin, painted by Vincent in Arles, to research the artists and villages of France where Vincent lived. Along the way he becomes attracted to a young woman in Auvers, also painted by Vincent. Join Armand as he travels in the steps of Vincent and meets Dr. Gachet, Paul Gauguin, Camille Pissaro, and other renown artists who worked with Vincent.

With the Nazi occupation of Kovno (Lithuania), her life changed forever. Zlata Santocki Sidrer was Jewish, but she survived the horrors of the Holocaust.Gone was her normal life and her teenage dream of becoming a doctor. Instead, she witnessed untold deprivations, massacres, imprisonment, hunger and slave labor before being transported to the Stutthof Concentration Camp. Her story of the death march is a testament to her fighting spirit and the limits of human endurance. Yet the challenges did not end with liberation. Lovingly compiled from recorded interviews and researched by her eldest daughter, Ettie, this is an account of a remarkably resilient woman who raised herself out of the ashes after unimaginable hardship and sorrow. She found love and happiness where none could be expected-a secret marriage in the ghetto, escapes, dangerous border crossings, reunifications, and life-saving friendships.Ettie's quest to learn more about her ancestry led her to Lithuania and Poland-in her mother's footsteps. The author reflects on the impact of her family's experiences on her own beliefs and behaviors, thereby adding to the literature about Second Generation and transgenerational trauma.In these memoirs she honors her family by telling their amazing story of survival and collects evidence to corroborate their painful history.

De tijd die ik in fabrieken in Berlijn en Neder-Silezië doorbracht was zonder twijfel de zwaarste in mijn leven." Chris Lenstra (1924)In 764 Dagen heeft Margreet Lenstra op basis van de oorlogsdagboeken van en gesprekken met haar vader zijn tijd als dwangarbeider beschreven. Niet alleen door honger, ziekte en verlangen naar huis, maar ook door zware behandeling, treiterijen en tientallen bombardementen was het een moeilijke tijd. Ook zijn zware terugreis door verwoest Duitsland komt aan bod.764 Dagen is het indringende verhaal van een jonge Nederlander die, gedwongen door de oorlogssituatie, een bijzonder deel van de geschiedenis heeft beleefd dat niet vergeten mag worden.
