View Rights PortalDanny Herman was born in 1935 in Königsberg in East Prussia. As the Nazis were rounding up Jews, Danny's father managed to escape to England in July 1939. He travelled to the Kitchener Camp in Kent, which helped refugees secure visas for safer places. Danny and his mother arrived in England just three days before war was declared in 1939, and his father was later sent to an internment camp on the Isle of Man. Danny went on to become a successful runner, competing in many international athletics events and volunteering in many roles, including at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Danny's detailed memories of arriving in England, initially at the seaside in Kent and then moving to Manchester, create a vivid picture of life-changing events as experienced by a young child. Danny's book is part of the My Voice book collection, a stand-alone project of The Fed, the leading Jewish social care charity in Manchester, dedicated to preserving the life stories of Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazi persecution who settled in the UK. The oral history, which is recorded and transcribed, captures their entire lives from before, during and after the war years. The books are written in the words of the survivor so that future generations can always hear their voice. The My Voice book collection is a valuable resource for Holocaust awareness and education.
Frau Richtig und Herr Wichtig leben friedlich und freundlich nebeneinanderher – alles hat seine Ordnung: Der Rasen gestutzt, das Auto richtig geparkt, sauber ist es sowieso. Bis eines Tages das Dach ausgebaut wird und eine neue Familie einzieht: Die Stolperbeins, samt Katze und Tochter Coco. Und die bringt in der wunderbaren Ordnung von Frau Richtig und Herrn Wichtig so einiges durcheinander … Mit Reimen, die ins Ohr gehen, erzählt der Kinderbuchautor Jörg Hilbert vom Zusammenleben in unserer bunten Gesellschaft, von Akzeptanz und von Freundschaft.
Reanimating grief is a wide-ranging study of the poetics of bereavement in theatre, literature and song. It examines the way cultural works reanimate the dead in the form of ghosts, memories or scenes of mourning, and uses critical and creative writing to express grief's subjectivity and uniqueness. It cover classic texts from Greek tragedy and Shakespeare to works by Anton Chekhov, Samuel Beckett, Enda Walsh, Sally Rooney and Maggie O'Farrell. The book argues that the return of the dead in theatre and fiction is an act of memorial and an expression of love that illustrates the relationship between art, enchantment and impossibility.
Across the world, sacred sites are linked together by mysterious alignments on the landscape. In the British Isles these links have come to be known as ley lines. This is the classic, comprehensive guide to the subject.
Robert Schindel erzählt in »Gebürtig« aus der Gegenwart der achtziger Jahre über jene Befangenheiten und Verstrickungen in Scham und Lüge, die sich als »gläserne Wand« immer wieder aufs neue zwischen die unsere Jahrhundertkatastrophe überlebenden Juden und die nachgewachsenen deutsch-österreichischen Nichtjuden schiebt. In den ›brodelnden Gebürtigkeiten‹ der Wiener Beisel-Boheme und des Kaffeehausmilieus, wo jüdisches Herkommen und nichtjüdischer Freundeskreis sich verstricken, ist das ungleiche Zwillingsbruderpaar Demant zu Hause. Mal handelnd, mal kommentierend und notierend, treiben Danny, der Lektor, und Alexander, genannt ›Graffito‹, zwischen Wien und Venedig, Frankfurt, Hamburg und New York, München und Freiburg das Romangeschehen weiter. »Gebürtig« ist aus dem gelebten Wissen entstanden, daß aus den Tätern und Opfern von damals im Gang der Geschichte und der Generationen Täter-Kinder und Opfer-Kinder geworden sind - gemeinsame Opfer einer niemals vergehenden Vergangenheit.
