Managing in the Gray
How to Resolve the Really Hard Problems Every manager makes tough calls—it comes with the job. And the hardest decisions are the “gray areas”—situations where you and your team have worked hard to find an answer, you’ve done the best analysis you can, and you still don’t know what to do. But you have to make a decision. You have to choose, commit, act, and live with the consequences and persuade others to follow your lead. Gray areas test your skills as a manager, your judgment, and even your humanity. How do you get these decisions right?

Refuge Denied
The ordeal of the refugee ship St. Louis has become a symbol of the world’s indifference to the plight of European Jewry on the eve of the Holocaust. In the spring of 1939, more than nine hundred Jewish refugees boarded the St. Louis in Hamburg, Germany, hoping to escape escalating oppression by the Nazi government. Except for a small group that had special visas and was able to disembark in Havana, the ship and its passengers were denied entry by Cuba and the United States. Returning on an uncertain voyage to Europe, the refugees eventually were accepted by four western European countries. Other than the 288 sent to England, most once again fell under the Nazi grip that closed upon continental Europe a year later. Although the episode of the St. Louis is well known, the actual fates of the passengers, once they disembarked, slipped into historical obscurity. Prompted by a former passenger’s curiosity, Sarah A. Ogilvie and Scott Miller of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum set out to discover what happened to each of the 937 passengers. Their investigation, spanning ten years and half the globe, took them to unexpected places and produced surprising results.
They Stole our Chocolate Factory
They Stole Our Chocolate Factory documents Hans Schrameks memories from his prosperous childhood, the Holocaust, and his efforts to receive compensation for his familys business. This book recounts a true story about a little boy who enjoyed Sunday rides in the familys limousine with a chauffeur, gourmet specialties prepared by the family cook, and days in the park with his private nanny. Hans life as he knew it unraveled when Hitler stripped him of his dignity and his familys business. Hans shares his dreadful experiences and how he survived the Auschwitz and Ebensee concentration camps. Since being liberated in 1945, Hans has built a new life for himself in America. Occasionally, he has a glimmer of hope that he will be able to claim his inheritance, some compensation for his familys multi-million dollar chocolate factory still in operation today.
