Dramatic, highly listenable, and painstakingly researched, The Great Desert Escape brings to light a little-known escape by 25 determined German sailors from an American prisoner-of-war camp.The disciplined Germans tunneled unnoticed through rock-hard, sunbaked soil and crossed the unforgiving Arizona desert. They were heading for Mexico, where there were sympathizers who could help them return to their fatherland. It was the only large-scale domestic escape by foreign prisoners in US history.

The first genocide of the 20th century, though not well known, was committed by Germans between 1904-1907 in the country we know today as Namibia, where they exterminated thousands of Herero and Nama people and subjected the surviving indigenous men, women, and children to forced labor.

Baer refers to as the "genocidal gaze", an attitude that was later perpetuated by the Nazis.

The On the Tip of Your Tongue series identifies words in 11 key categories, so you can learn to be an effective speaker in that language. This series is productive, because you can approach a language from both sides: the language you wish to learn, with the words in that language first, followed by your own language with each word spoken twice. In many ways students find this approach less stressful because they can hear the new language and think about the proper word in their own language; using both approaches in tandem works best for most people.
