        Wave Rider

        by Rebecca Pott Fitton

        Wave Rider is a poetic reflection of author Rebecca Fitton's long journey to heal from sexual abuse, abandonment, and neglect, building a new world based on wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. Her journey has taken a lifetime. To use the metaphor of waves, sometimes the undertow nearly drowned her–but she survived. Now her beautiful and profound book offers inspiration to others who have also suffered greatly from abuse.

        Mit dem Todesengel ist nicht zu scherzen

        by Lili Rebecca Kahan

        Mit dem Todesengel ist nicht zu scherzen / Lili Rebecca Kahan Eine erstaunliche Geschichte des Überlebens gegen alle Widrigkeiten und eine große Leistung für die Autorin, die während des Zweiten Weltkrieges 1939–1945 ein Teenager war. Dies ist die persönliche Geschichte einer auseinandergerissenen Familie, die über lange Zeit auf der Flucht von Land zu Land ist, sich versteckt, darauf hoffend, nicht entdeckt zu werden, und ums Überleben betet. Lili Rebecca Kahan wuchs auf in dem stetigen Versuch, selbst zu überleben, nur um anderen zu helfen, ebenfalls zu überleben. Als Mitglied des Untergrunds in Budapest durchlebte sie viele gefährliche Situationen, oft dank ihrer Kenntnisse in Sprachen wie Deutsch. Dort half sie unter der Nase der Deutschen auch anderen Juden, indem sie ihnen zu neuen Identitäten verhalf, um dem Tod zu entgehen. Heute möchte sie jedes Mal, wenn eine der letzten Überlebenden diese Welt verlässt, den stillen Befehl derjenigen ehren, die umgekommen sind. „Mögen wir niemals vergessen. Wir, die letzten Überlebenden, haben die feierliche Verpflichtung, im Namen der Toten und der Lebenden Zeugnis davon zu geben, dass das, was wir ertragen haben, eine grausame Realität war, aber auch eine permanente Warnung an die Menschen sein soll, vor den Schrecken, die möglicherweise noch bevorstehen.“ Der frühere Präsident Frankreichs, Nicolas Sarkozy, sagte so treffend: „Die Tragödie des Holocaust sollte ebenso in unser Bewusstsein eingraviert werden wie in unsere Herzen.“   Eine englischsprachige E-Book-Ausgabe wurde im Herbst 2016 von Samuel Wachtmans Sons, Inc., CA, veröffentlicht. 148 Seiten, 15 x 22,5 cm.

        Can’t Swap Jokes with the Angel of Death

        by Lili Rebecca Kahan

        with the Angel of Death is an amazing story of survival against all odds and a great achievement for the writer who was a teenager during World War 2, 1939–1945. This is the personal story of a family torn apart, always on the run from country to country, hiding, hoping not to be discovered and praying to survive.Lili Rebecca Kahan grew up trying to stay alive and helping others do the same. She survived dangers as a member of the underground in Budapest, often thanks to her knowledge of languages including German. There, under the Germans’ noses, she also helped other Jews by giving them new identities in order to escape death. Today, when survivors are leaving this world, she wants to honor the silent command of those who perished—remember and never forget.We, the last survivors, have a solemn obligation to testify, in the name of the dead and the living, that what we endured was a gruesome reality but also a permanent warning to mankind of horrors that might still lie ahead.Former president of France Nicolas Sarkozy so aptly put it when he said, “The tragedy of the Holocaust should be etched onto our consciousness as it is onto our hearts.”  An English-language eBook Edition was published in late 2016 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc.,CA. 148 Pages, 15X22.5 cm

        Kinderleben nach dem Holocaust

        by Rebecca Clifford, Stephan Gebauer

        Schätzungen zufolge überlebten etwa 180.000 zwischen 1935 und 1944 geborene jüdische Kinder den Holocaust. Einige waren versteckt oder mit Kindertransporten in Sicherheit gebracht worden, andere wurden von alliierten Truppen aus Konzentrationslagern befreit. Nach 1945 ging man davon aus, sie würden das Erlebte rasch überwinden oder schlicht vergessen, schließlich hätten sie ja »Glück« gehabt. Ihre Erinnerungen galten als weniger authentisch; in der Forschung spielten sie lange nur eine marginale Rolle. Erst in den letzten Jahren haben sie Anerkennung als Überlebende und Zeuginnen gefunden. In ihrer beeindruckenden Studie folgt Rebecca Clifford diesen sehr jungen Überlebenden auf ihren Wegen aus den Trümmern des Krieges ins Erwachsenenalter. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage: Wie können Menschen ihrem Leben einen Sinn abgewinnen, wenn sie nicht wissen, woher sie kommen? Wenn sie die Angehörigen verloren haben, die ihnen dabei helfen könnten, ihre fragmentierten Kindheitserinnerungen einzuordnen? Clifford wertet Archivmaterial und Oral-History-Interviews aus und bringt unerwartete und schockierende Geschichten ans Licht. Ihre Befunde zwingen uns, unsere Annahmen über die Folgen von Traumata und die Natur des Gedächtnisses zu revidieren.

        The Madmen of Bethlehem

        by Osama Alaysa

        Adopting the story-within-a-story structure of Arabian Nights, author Osama Alaysa weaves together a collection of stories portraying centuries of oppression endured by the Palestinian people.   This remarkable novel eloquently brings together fictional characters alongside real-life historical figures in a complex portrayal of Bethlehem and the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the West Bank. The common thread connecting each tale is madness, in all its manifestations.   Psychological madness, in the sense of clinical mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, finds expression alongside acts of social and political madness. Together, these accounts of individuals and communities provide a gateway into the histories of the city of Bethlehem and Palestine. They paint a picture of the centuries of political oppression that the Palestinian people have endured, from the days of the Ottoman Empire to the years following the Oslo Accords, and all the way to 2012 (when the novel was written).   The novel is divided into three sections, each containing multiple narratives. The first section, “The Book of a Genesis,” describes the physical spaces and origins of Bethlehem and Dheisheh Refugee Camp. These stories span the 19th and 20th centuries, transitioning smoothly from one tale to another to offer an intricate interpretation of the identity of these places.   The second section, “The Book of the People Without a Book”, follows parallel narratives of the lives of the patients in a psychiatric hospital in Bethlehem, the mad men and women roaming the streets of the city, and those imprisoned by the Israeli authorities. All suffer abuse, but they also reaffirm their humanity through the relationships, romantic and otherwise, that they form.   The third and final section, “An Ephemeral Book,” follows individuals—Palestinian and non-Palestinian—who are afflicted by madness following the Oslo Accords in 1993. These stories give voice to the perspectives of the long-marginalized Palestinian population, narrating the loss of land and the accompanying loss of sanity in the decades of despair and violence that followed the Nakba, the 1948 eviction of some 700,000 Palestinians from their homes.   The novel’s mad characters—politicians, presidents, doctors, intellectuals, ordinary people and, yes, Dheisheh and Bethlehem themselves—burst out of their narrative threads, flowing from one story into the next. Alaysa’s crisp, lucid prose and deft storytelling chart a clear path through the chaos with dark humor and wit. The result is an important contribution to fiction on the Palestinian crisis that approaches the Palestinians, madness, and Palestinian spaces with compassion and depth.

        Colouring the Caribbean

        Race and the art of Agostino Brunias

        by Mia L. Bagneris

        Colouring the Caribbean offers the first comprehensive study of Agostino Brunias's intriguing pictures of colonial West Indians of colour - so called 'Red' and 'Black' Caribs, dark-skinned Africans and Afro-Creoles, and people of mixed race - made for colonial officials and plantocratic elites during the late-eighteenth century. Although Brunias's paintings have often been understood as straightforward documents of visual ethnography that functioned as field guides for reading race, this book investigates how the images both reflected and refracted ideas about race commonly held by eighteenth-century Britons, helping to construct racial categories while simultaneously exposing their constructedness and underscoring their contradictions. The book offers provocative new insights about Brunias's work gleaned from a broad survey of his paintings, many of which are reproduced here for the first time.
