On a converted ocean liner en route to fight the Nazi army in Europe, John William Hall, a rough-hewn Southern rifle champion, rebels against his family bloodline. He left the dark rage of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl for the vortex of world war, where his destiny intertwines with another captain at the ferocious Battle of the Bulge. This sweeping narrative pivots on family struggles, inspired women, social prejudice, battlefield courage, tragic miscalculations, and enduring love. Based on true events, the novel will grip readers intrigued by vivid human stories formed from inside monumental occurrences.

To be a Jewish composer or musician under the Third Reich’s reign of terror meant your next note could be your last. Even as the murderous frenzy of the Holocaust exploded in the ghettos and concentration camps, composers and musicians imprisoned there refused to be stilled. On scraps of paper they penciled their inspirations and played their songs, praying that even if they died, their music would survive. Miraculously, it has. Ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27th, join Morning Edition producer Mat Edelson for this incredible documentary showcasing the resilience and creativity of Holocaust-era composers.
