Post Traumatic Survival
Some refugees who survive wars recover and thrive; others do not. This study sets out to discover what successful survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime found instrumental for both their survival and their mental health. The aim is to contribute to the understanding of resilience, here understood as the ability to recover from misfortune or change, in order to contribute to the psychosocial rehabilitation of survivors of war crimes and other traumatic events – to discover how war-refugees may be best assisted in processes of recovery and normalisation. The resilience found here was based largely on informants’ cultural and religious resources. Psychosocial guidelines for accessing clients’ backgrounds are available, but health and social workers often fail to access the cultural explanatory models used by survivors in building personal and group resilience. Proposals from the project are incorporated in a cultural resilience interview scheme for the use of health and social workers wishing to conduct resilience work with war survivors.
Traitors Unleashed
Althonat Global, CEO, Dr. Martina Strömstedt Edgren hovers between life and death in hospital after a Dodger van slammed her Volvo into the icy sea. It may have been attempted murder, nearly identical to her parents’ fatal accident. She had unveiled a sinister plot by a rival company which had engineered a drug that compromised the immune system, as part of its covert “population reduction” plan. At the onset of the controversy, Martina staked her life to save humanity. As the earth spins out of control, the evil cabal tightens its grip on humanity, intimidating the population into submission to dangerous treatment. At every hour, there was a throbbing force that pervaded the universe...

Yearbook of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment/Annuaire de la convention européenne pour la prévention de la torture et des peines ou traitements inhumains ou dégradants
The European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment was adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in June 1987. It entered into force in February 1989 and all 47 member States are Parties to the Convention. The Convention has already established itself as an important human rights instrument. Its approach is quite different from that of the European Convention on Human Rights. Whereas the ECHR provides a remedy for particular human rights violations after the event, the Convention for the Prevention of Torture (ECPT) seeks to prevent human rights violations, through a system of visits to places of detention. The Conventi...

Birgit’s Consequences
1970s, Calabrian Mountains, Italy. Andreas Kuhlemann is searching to find a place, a place he could call home. Born with a latent mental defect to a Norwegian receptionist and a German officer, after the war he was repatriated to his father’s town in Germany and from there, adopted by an Italian railroad worker. Always moving, always feeling lost. Meanwhile, Lorenzo Benedetta, who is searching for redemption, is Andreas's counterpoint. His search continues for forty hellish years, clawing his way back up after life kicks him down, determined to reach his goal. It's only when his unspeakable crime is brought to the courts that both men's stories come full circle. But will one find salvation and the other man's life have purpose, if only after death? If you ever wondered what happened to the Lebensborn children, those that were intended to fulfil the Fuehrer’s desire in creating a master race, this is the extraordinary story of one of them.

She's been wanting one ever since she was five – all the way back to when they were living in the refugee camp. In the East, her Grandma made cakes and kept rabbits; now there is no baking, no pets and certainly no Grandma. West Germany in the early 1960s is a difficult place for a seven-year-old East German refugee, particularly when no one will listen to you. Why Peirene chose to publish this boo...
