        Morgen geht die Sonne auf

        by Irit Dror-Reytan

        Morgen geht die Sonne auf: Die Sicht eines Kindes auf den Holocaust / Irit Dror-Reytan Morgen geht die Sonne auf ist kein konventionelles Buch über den Holocaust. Es beschreibt nicht die Gräueltaten des Zweiten Weltkriegs, insbesondere gegenüber dem jüdischen Volk. Stattdessen erzählt die Schriftstellerin aus persönlicher Sicht die Geschichte ihres eigenen Lebens als Kind in dieser Zeit. Mit den zärtlichen Pinselstrichen einer Künstlerin malt die Autorin die Szenen ihrer Kindheit im von den Nationalsozialisten besetzten Polen im Alter von drei bis sechs Jahren und beschreibt Ereignisse, wie sie sie damals aus kindlicher Sicht wahrnahm. Ihr friedliches und glückliches Landleben wird durch die Besetzung von Nazideutschland zerschlagen. In einer kalten und regnerischen Nacht entkommt unsere Heldin dem Erschießungskommando, das den größten Teil ihrer Familie vernichtet. Ihre Mutter schließt sich den Partisanen an, ihr Vater wird nach Auschwitz deportiert, und sie liegt allein in einem Weidenkorb bei einer christlichen Bauernfamilie. Nach der Befreiung und einem unverhofften Wiedersehen mit ihrer Mutter wird das Kind selbst zur Mutter und reift schneller als erwartet zu einer Frau heran. Sie übernimmt die Verantwortung für ihre Mutter und sich selbst in einem täglichen Kampf ums Überleben. In diesem Moment passiert etwas Unglaubliches... Die Absicht dieses Buches ist es, Kindern, die auf irgendeine Weise missbraucht wurden, eine Botschaft zu überbringen, nicht aufzugeben, nicht die Hoffnung zu verlieren – die Sonne geht morgen auf! Irit Dror-Reytan wurde am 22. September 1939 in Boryslav, Polen, geboren. Nach dem Krieg lebte sie in Waldenburg, Polen, bis ihre Familie 1950 nach Israel einwanderte. Sie besuchte die Tabeetha Jaffa, eine Schule der Church of Scotland. Die Autorin schloss ihr Studium am Israel Conservatory of Music in Tel Aviv ab. Sie erhielt einen BA vom Queens College in New York und einen Master in Psychologie von der Lesley University in Boston. Irit unterrichtete viele Jahre Musik und Englisch. In den letzten zwanzig Jahren hat sie IDF-Soldaten behandelt, die an PTBS leiden. Die Autorin hat vier Kinder, sieben Enkelkinder und lebt mit ihrem Ehemann in Israel.

        The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow

        Child's View of the Holocaust

        by Irit Dror-Reytan

        The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow is not a conventional book about  the holocaust. It does not describe the atrocities of WW2, especially towards the Jewish people. Instead, the writer tells a story of her own life from a personal view as a chid, during that period. With the gentle strokes of an artist, the author paints the scenery of her childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland, from age three to six, describing events as she perceived them at the time from a child's point of view. Her peaceful and happy country life is crushed by the occupation of Nazi Germany. On a cold and rainy night, our heroine evades the firing squad that annihilates most of her family; her mother joins the partisans, her father is deported to Auschwitz, and she finds herself all alone, hidden in a wicker basket, with a Christian peasant family. After liberation and an incredible reunion with her mother, in an attempt to rehabilitate life, the child becomes the mother and is forced to mature instantly. She takes responsibility for her mother and herself in a daily struggle to survive. Then, an impossible surprise strikes! The purpose of this book is to deliver a message to children who were abused, in any way, not to give in, not to lose hope—the sun will rise tomorrow! Irit Dror-Reytan was born on September 22, 1939, in Boryslav, Poland. After the war she lived in Waldenburg, Poland, until 1950 when her family immigrated to Israel. She was educated in Tabeetha Jaffa, a Church of Scotland school. The Author completed her studies at the Israel Conservatory of Music in Tel Aviv. She received a B.A. from Queens College in New York and a Master’s degree in psychology from Lesley University in Boston. Irit taught music and English for many years. For the last twenty years, she has been treating IDF soldiers suffering from PTSD. The author has four children, seven grandchildren and lives with her husband in Israel. 128 Pages, 15X22.5 CM

        On trial

        Testing new drugs in psychiatry, 1940–1980

        by Marietta Meier, Magaly Tornay, Mario König

        The heroic story of the invention of antidepressants is a key part of the psychopharmaceutical turn. On Trial revolves around one of its pioneers, psychiatrist Roland Kuhn, who practiced in Münsterlingen, a state-run psychiatric hospital in Switzerland. Kuhn became famous for the 'discovery' of the first antidepressant, Tofranil, and more recently notorious for his numerous trials on often unsuspecting patients. Largely based on the extensive and previously inaccessible sources of Kuhn's private archive, the book delves into the early days of industry-sponsored clinical research in psychiatry. It examines how the clinic, patients, doctors, nursing staff, corporations, and authorities interacted in the trials. Conducted from the 1940s to 1980s, the Münsterlingen drug trials are historicised and situated in the period's evolving landscape of experimentation.

        Esau, My Brother: Father of Edom and Rome

        Esau – Father of Edom and Rome - hero of Palestinian Talmud – the Yerushalmi - and Midrashic sources in the Tannaic and Amoraic period under Roman rule

        by Dr. Irit Aminoff

        For two thousand years, Jews educated in their people`s traditions, have perceived Jacob and Esau as depictions of good versus evil, truth versus falsehood, purity versus impurity, and so on. Any Jewish child over the age of three, could depict Esau as that wicked personage who pursued his brother Jacob and wanted to destroy him in his fiery hatred. Esau whose blessing was denied him, rose against his brother to whom it was transferred. Indeed, Esau, in the form of the nations among whom Israel`s exile dwell, lays in wait for Jacob to this day, though, due to Esau moral and ethical inferiority, he will never realize his schemes. * The Christian, however, at mention of Jacob and Esau, immediately envisions the figures of the Genesis account [portions: Toledot & Vayishlah] as they are depicted according to the Biblical narrative form of diametrical opposites. * Esau and Jacob, heroes of the biblical account, portrays two opposite sets of fundamental traits: basic simplicity and fairness against cunning, treachery and sophistication. Through a process they become in the writings of the sages, contradictory figures who scarcely resemble the Biblical heroes. * The purpose of this book is to delineate this alternative Esau figure, the one created by Aggadic literature, and to try and understand the motivations behind this weighty shift of perspective. This is the book of Esau – Father of Edom and Rome - hero of Palestinian Talmud – the Yerushalmi - and Midrashic sources in the Tannaic and Amoraic period under Roman rule.

        Los mejores días

        by Magalí Etchebarne

        Certain events unfold, exquisitely and poetically, until we reach an illuminating passage: the precise moment of learning something important. With rare maturity for someone in her thirties, in the manner of Clarice Lispector, Lorrie Moore, or Grace Paley, these stories are a space for inquiry. Undoubtedly, this first book by Magalí Etchebarne is the best possible beginning to a work. It is also the book we all wish we could write someday. I Acevedo
