Stories of Survival
In Calabria, June 1940, Jewish exiles from Europe, escaping the Nazis, begin to arrive at Ferramonti di Tarsia Campo di Concentramento, a site chosen by the Fascist Italian government for its remoteness and inhospitable terrain. The aim: to intern ‘enemy aliens’ resident in Italy as the country enters WWII. Over the next three years, Ferramonti will see its population swell to over 3,000 internees, mostly, but not all, Jews from central and eastern Europe. Large contingents arriving via Benghazi and the Danube paddle-steamer Pentcho, will settle in Ferramonti, making it their haven as the war rages and the Nazis commit their atrocities, decimating families left behind. Little did those i...

Mother of Rock
From the pubs of the Sydney Push to New York's legendary nightclubs, Lillian Roxon set the pace for an era that changed the world. Audacious, independent and fiercely intelligent, by eighteen she was cutting her writing teeth in the colourful world of Sydney tabloid journalism. She moved to New York in 1959, just in time for a cultural revolution that celebrated youth, sexual freedom, women's liberation - and rock and roll. Roxon quickly became the centre of a circle that included Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, Jim Morrison and David Bowie. Linda Eastman confided in her about her first dates with Paul McCartney. Germaine Greer dedicated The Female Eunuch to her. Roxon's Rock Encyclopedia, published in 1969, was the first book of its kind and established her as a leading chronicler of rock and youth culture. When she died suddenly in 1973, she left behind a collection of work full of the energy, irreverence and idealism of her times.
Ferramonti: La salvezza dietro il filo spinato
Nel 1982, verso la fine di una vita notevolissima, il medico psichiatra David Ropschitz decise di scrivere per mettere nero su bianco la sua storia personale di sopravvivenza durante la guerra. In questo romanzo autobiografico, egli narra il percorso da un’infanzia agiata nella Vienna degli anni ‘20 si suoi studi di medicina negli anni ‘30 in Italia, fino al suo internamento, nel luglio 1940, ad opera del governo fascista, nel più grande campo di internamento italiano, Ferramonti di Tarsia. In questo romanzo il dottor Ropschitz ricorda con tenerezza ed umorismo i tre difficili anni passati a Ferramonti: le amicizie, gli amori, le privazioni, la fame e la costante incertezza. Questo racconto accattivante porta il lettore in un viaggio dalla Calabria agli Abruzzi, dal filo spinato alla libertà, esplorando lungo la strada i temi della fede, dell’umanità, e della psicanalisi.
