This book covers a century of history for the little known Samos neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona that evolved into a thriving middle-class community during Tucson's post World War II boom. The neighborhood is located mid-town in the University of Arizona area, north of Grant Road between Campbell and Mountain Avenues and Glenn Street. Its architecture reflects a time when building was individual rather than standardized like it is today. Neighborhood developers, builders and architects led the way in Tucson's building industry. These leaders included Harold Aston, William Estes, Sr., John Joynt, Josias Joesler, John Murphey, Roy Place, Anne Rysdale, Albert Steinfeld, and William Wilde. The neighborhood name, Samos, was chosen in recognition of Chris Mitchell, one of its developers and builders who immigrated from the Isle of Samos, Greece. Mitchell lived and worked in the neighborhood for many years. His first house, a Mediterranean Revival built in 1929, is the photograph on the cover of this book. Additionally, many Samos neighborhood homeowners during that era actively contributed to the growth and development of Tucson. Their accomplishments are acknowledged in this book. Research also revealed a unique mix of minority racial, ethnic and religious diversity of neighborhood homeowners at a time when segregation was widespread in Tucson and throughout the nation. Today, Samos continues to be an active, middle class neighborhood, represented by Ward 3 of the City of Tucson and District 3 of Pima County. In addition to its 400 residential houses, the neighborhood is home to Salpointe High School, many small businesses along Campbell Avenue - including three original post-war businesses - Catalina Acute Care and Rehabilitation, and a popular 1930s bed and breakfast. All proceeds from the sale of this book will contribute to the financial support of the Neighborhood Association which is committed to neighborhood beautification, conservation, non-profit fundraising, and community-building with neighborhood residents, business owners and educators, other neighborhood coalitions, and local governments.

Some say he was Australia's Martin Luther King. William Cooper saw his Aboriginal people dying around him and decided black lives matter. Starvation and discrimination took their toll. He became passionate that they should have a voice in Australia's federal parliament.But his people could not vote and were not even counted in the census. How could he get the government to listen to him? Would his skills in oratory, letter-writing and organizing his people into the first national black organization achieve his goals or would his activism bring backlash? Betrayed by the Prime Minister who would not forward his petition to the King of England, Cooper joined with other leaders in Sydney for the 150th anniversary of white settlement and organized a protest called the Day of Mourning. This set in train the controversy that still surrounds Australia Day today. Cooper campaigned for the truth of the black history of white Australia to be told. He mentored future generations of leaders who are still calling for "voice, treaty, truth" today. This book covers the history of the struggle for First Nations peoples' human rights from settlement to today.William Cooper was born in 1860 to his tribal mother who saw the first white settlers come to the Murray River. He lost his son Dan in World War 1. Cooper was anguished that Aboriginal soldiers gave their lives for a country that had stolen their land and dignity. He campaigned for a new deal but was it a pipe dream?Cooper's health was failing but he had lit a fire that would not be put out. One of those who picked up the baton was his grandson, Alf Turner or Uncle Boydie. Could Uncle Boydie unearth the petition Cooper meant for the King in the 1930's and find a way to get it to the King's granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth 11? Poetic justice but a near-impossible task.Historian Barbara Miller has written a number of riveting books on Australian history and biography and makes history come alive. Miller was a finalist in the Queensland Literary Awards for the Premier's Award for a Work of State Significance in 2018 for her memoir "White Woman Black Heart: Journey Home to Old Mapoon."Click "Buy Now" & discover Australia's hidden history!

Did the deep north of Australia experience racism, discrimination and segregation? Yes. But it was different from the deep south of the USA. A system similar to South African apartheid existed on Aboriginal reserves like Yarrabah in Queensland till as recently as 1984. This book is unique in that Australian Aborigines themselves tell their story of living under legal discrimination on reserves and discusses their aspirations for self-determination, local government, human rights and land rights with a view to end racism.Human rights abuses of the law they lived under are discussed in detail as well as government policy that promoted racial discrimination. Race relations Aussie style is examined. The book is a political history of race relations from contact till now between white and black Australia and puts Yarrabah in a national context of the treatment of Australian Aborigines.Despite past racism and racial discrimination and some lingering examples of this in government policy and society's attitudes, Yarrabah today is a thriving community run by an Aboriginal Council. It still has some of the hallmarks of a disadvantaged population like lack of housing and health issues.Yarrabah is no longer a reserve in northern Australia. It is still a discrete community but its residents do not experience segregation and can come and go freely and have the same human rights as other Australians. This is not to say that institutional racism has gone from Australian culture. For those interested in politics and government and public affairs policy in relation to ethnic studies or minority studies, this is the book to read. History buffs and legal eagles will find it fascinating. The author has a long term and close association with Yarrabah and Australian Aborigines in general.Editorial ReviewsThis is an excellent coverage of the milestones in the contemporary historical coverage of our Indigenous Queenslander's struggle for Land Rights and freedom from the autocratic control of Government. It is works such as this that clearly identify the oppressive control and heinous actions of the Department of Aboriginal and Islander Advancement. The hypocrisy of including 'Advancement' in their name, when they did the exact opposite, only underlines the Machiavellian treatment of Queensland's First Nation people. Miller has clearly and effectively covered the momentous changes that have been wrought. Only someone who has lived and worked with these trials and tribulations could explain the events so well. This is undoubtedly a valuable contribution to understanding the hard-fought steps that our Indigenous people have had to overcome, and it's not over-but now there is room for hope! Dr Timothy Bottoms, historian, author of Conspiracy of Silence and a History of Cairns, City of the South Pacific 1770-1995It is entirely appropriate that Barbara Miller is the one to write an update on Yarrabah's efforts at self-determination and land rights, as she does not just stand on the sideline and cheer us on. She often jumps into the fray herself. No doubt many people who were or still are involved in some degree in the push for Aboriginal social justice and human rights and all that that encompasses, plus interested persons, will be attracted to Barbara Miller's latest case study. This book gives a succinct report of how things have turned out in the last thirty years. She has ably teased out the many strands of human rights issues that reveal the many flash points that happened as Aboriginal people and friends contended with, and still contend with the 'hydra-like monster'. Her reporting skills and love for Aboriginal people are recognised by friend and foe alike, with her work being quoted by such bodies as the Human Rights Commission.Rev Michael Connolly, Former Chairman of Yarrabah

"If I Survive." This thought haunted Lena. Her loved ones were cruelly forced from her arms in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland and perished in Treblinka Death Camp. This is a true story of Holocaust survival. In ww2 books, it is a searing story of human rights abuses and genocide.The story of Nazi Germany and the Jews is a story of anti-Semitism, Nazi concentration camps, gas chambers and World War 11 (wwii). The Warsaw ghetto where the Nazis had imprisoned the Jews was being emptied as Hitler's Final Solution to murder all of European Jewry was put into action. Lena kept thinking, "It's my turn next." As some Jews escaped Treblinka and exposed it as being a death camp not a labour camp, young men and women in the ghetto decided to make a stand.Lena helped in the resistance which became the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising by gathering light bulbs from empty houses which could be used for Molotov cocktails. By a miracle, she escaped the ghetto before it became an inferno. But where could she hide? When it was over and she could walk free, the tears she had held back flooded out because she was all alone and there was no one to care that she had survived and no one to go to.Author Barbara Miller adds to Holocaust history and ww2 German history by skilfully weaving her research with Lena's diary and interviews to bring her ww2 biography to life. Lena helped her companions in hiding to survive with her humour and compassion. She turned 100 in January 2019 and her miraculous story of survival against the odds will inspire you to not give up no matter how dark the time or difficult the situation or cruel the people around you.Download or order now!What are others saying about this remarkable book?This is a compelling, indeed exemplary work, that merges the history of the Holocaust with the live story of one survivor: Lena Goldstein, aged 100, one of the last living witnesses to the horrors of the Holocaust.Konrad Kwiet, Emeritus Professor and Resident Historian Sydney Jewish MuseumThis is a truly beautiful collaboration between the author and her subject, who have together produced an invaluable documentation of a unique, moving, life story set against the backdrop of one of the darkest moments in human history. To read "If I Survive" is to meet a remarkable person and to be touched by her intense humanity in an inhuman world.Jeremy Jones AM, former President of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry and Director, Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs CouncilIn this book Barbara Miller tells a powerful, must read story of survival - the story of Lena Goldstein, an elegant, articulate centenarian, a victim of one of the most horrific periods in human history, the Holocaust.Josie Lacey OAM, Author of An Inevitable Path, A Memoir, Life Member Executive Council of Australian Jewry, WIZO, and ECCBarbara Miller has given Lena Goldstein's personal Holocaust journey the validation it so richly deserves; an eye witness account of a truly inspiring and heroic survivor.Viv Parry, Chairperson, Child Survivors of the Holocaust, MelbourneAnother important book from the celebrated writer Barbara Miller. Expertly researched and skillfully written.Irene Shaland, author of The Dao of Being Jewish and Other Stories: Seeking Jewish narrative all over the World."It is not often that you commence a book and feel compelled to continue reading until it is finished. Such is the power of "If I survive: Nazi Germany and the Jews" by Barbara Miller. It should be compulsory reading for all students so they can live the concept - "Never Again".John Searle, Barrister, Melbourne, Former Chairperson, Victorian Equal Opportunity and Equal Rights Commission, President of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria
