Jack Terry – författare

In preparing the Handbook, the editors and principal authors sought to provide administrators with assistance in planning, controlling, directing, organizing, staffing, and coordinating within their organization. Basic areas such as general administration, motivation, personnel, program development and evaluation, finances, public relations, communications, development of students, programs of instruction, faculty unionism, women in administration, and learning resources are covered. The authors believe that present and future educational administrators must identify emerging problems and issues and provide leadership in decision making that will resolve them.

Readers will enjoy this riding-the-range wisdom that makes life rich and meaningful whether they live in the city, country, or somewhere in-between.

A boy's world is shattered by the Holocaust.When German troops come to the small village of BeÂzŒyce, Poland, in 1939, nine-year-old Jakub Szabmacher's world is forever changed. At first the humiliations inflicted by the Germans seem small, but the conditions worsen until eventually Jakub's family and much of his village are murdered, and he is sent to various concentration camps in Poland and Germany, where he struggles to survive the terrible conditions of camp life. Finally liberated in 1945 from the concentration camp in Flossenbürg, Germany, Jakub is befriended by American troops and with their help brought to the United States, where he takes the name Jack Terry. Coauthor Alicia Nitecki, whose grandfather was also imprisoned at Flossenbürg, uses Terry's personal memories to tell young Jakub's story, as well as unpublished memoirs, private letters, and interviews with former inmates of the Flossenbürg concentration camp and the townspeople of BeÂzŒyce and Flossenbürg. Part history, part autobiography, Jakub's World offers an anguished young boy's perspective on the Holocaust.
