Produktinformationen zu „Mission to the City (ePub)“

The book records Karl Holms personal account of his work in rkenen Sur, a shanty town in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn during the worst years of the Depression. Here, in the shadow of Manhattan, he found life at its grimmest, but life that responded to practical love expressed in the form of shelter, food, and the Christian message. Follow his adventures as a cat led him to a desperately ill man. Follow him on his rounds in the hospitals, reconnecting the ill and dying to their families. Joblessness, destitution, suicide, and murder were only part of his daily life. But there was also grace, love, and an unquenchable spirit. Who knew that he could be a sports reporter writing about crew races? This was a Norwegian-American at his best. Parts of the book, such as the closing account of Christmas Eve, could have been written by Charles Dickens. This is an account to inspire people today as much as then. This book was translated by Arnold E. Andersen, MD, his grandson, with the assistance of Kari Schussler.

Autoren-Porträt von Karl Holm

Karl Holm immigrated to the United States from Norway in 1926 with two of his daughters to find work as a carpenter. Little did he know that, within a few years, he would be called to work with the down and out, the sad and lonely, the jobless and the alcohol dependent, helping to found a "Hoover Village," which he called Ørkenen Sur or "bitter desert" in Norwegian, in a run-down section of Brooklyn. Here he worked by faith to bring help and hope. He was later recognized by the King of Norway and the Mayor of New York for his work. Every policeman on the beat knew him by name as he made his way to hospitals, to prisons, to the morgue, and to bars.
