An Incredible Journey
I dedicate this book to my son Leslie, because he agreed to travel with me to Shanghai, Bogota, and my birthplace Gumbinnen, otherwise this book would never have been written. Now he knows my background, and he can answer any questions his children and future grandchildren may have. Many American friends asked me about my past when they heard my German accent, and when I told my story they would say, ́write a book! ́ so finally I did. I wish I could thank many people for helping me to write it, but sadly they have all died, including my wife Erica. She encouraged me to keep writing, and she read, reread and corrected every page. Without her, I would not have finished the book. I enjoy tell...
Eltern und Kinder im Holocaust
Die Familie, also Eltern und Kinder, sind in der jüdischen Tradition wie im jüdischen Alltagsleben von überragender Bedeutung, was hier nicht eigens begründet zu werden braucht. Eltern und Kinder kommen auch in unseren originalen Erinnerungen von Holocaustüberlebenden der Edition Schoáh und Judaica tatsächlich sehr häufig vor, und im folgenden haben wir insgesamt 80 Erinnerungen aus etwa 10 verschieden europäischen Ländern zusammengestellt. Es handelt sich um eine Zusammenstellung von teils längeren, teils kürzeren Einleitungen in unseren Bücher, teils aber auch um originale Texte der betreffenden Autorinnen und Autoren, die alle auch dazu an-regen mögen, nach den Originalausga...
Jüdische Schicksale in und aus Deutschland
Aus dem Vorwort von Erhard Roy Wiehn LeChaim - Zum Leben Jüdische Schicksale in und aus Deutschland ist das 10. und umfangreichste Lesebuch meiner Edition Schoáh & Judaica. Die Grundidee für diese Edition bestand und besteht darin, die Opfer mit ihrer eigenen Stimme selbst zu Wort kommen zu lassen, um ihre Schicksale namentlich für immer festzuschreiben. Hier werden insgesamt 82 Bücher von 23 Autorinnen und 59 Autoren präsentiert sowie 17 Interviews aus den 1980er Jahren, an denen je 10 Frauen und Männer beteiligt waren. Die 82 Bücher stellen etwa ein Viertel meiner Edition von derzeit etwa 350 Titeln dar; etliche weitere mögliche Titel wurden hier nicht berücksichtigt, um den Umfa...
Exodus to Shanghai
Of the 400,000 German-speaking Jews that escaped the Third Reich, about 16,000 ended up in Shanghai, China. This groundbreaking volume gathers 20 years of interviews with over 100 former Shanghai refugees. It offers a moving collective portrait of courage, culture shock, persistence, and enduring hope in the face of unimaginable hardships.
The History of the Shanghai Jews
This volume provides a historical narrative, historiographical reviews, and scholarly analyses by leading scholars throughout the world on the hitherto understudied topic of Shanghai Jewish refugees. Few among the general public know that during the Second World War, approximately 16,000 to 20,000 Jews fled the Nazis, found unexpected refuge in Shanghai, and established a vibrant community there. Though most of them left Shanghai soon after the conclusion of the war in 1945, years of sojourning among the Chinese and surviving under the Japanese occupation generated unique memories about the Second World War, lasting goodwill between the Chinese and Jews, and contested interpretations of this complex past. The volume makes two major contributions to the studies of Shanghai Jewish refugees. First, it reviews the present state of the historiography on this subject and critically assesses the ways in which the history is being researched and commemorated in China. Second, it compiles scholarship produced by renowned scholars, who aim to rescue the history from isolated perspectives and look into the interaction between Jews, Chinese, and Japanese.
