Home Without a Homeland
Nora Huppert was flown out of Prague on the first Kindertransport, on the eve of World War II. This rescue mission, initiated and organised by Nicholas Winton, saved the lives of hundreds of children. In Home without a homeland, Huppert tells her own fascinating story and those of other survivors of those terrible times. Her father, an anti-Fascist journalist from a cultured German Jewish family, foresaw the rise of the Nazis and escaped to the safe haven of England, where both he and Huppert spent the War. Her mother, brother and other family members were not so fortunate. Loss, rescue, the web of connections and the idea of home for someone who has experienced five migrations, are the book...
Interrupted Journeys
Some 10,000 young German, Austrian and Czech Jews fled Nazi oppression in their homeland to seek refuge in Britain, America and Australia duringWWI. Leaving behind their parents, families and everything familiar they fled to an unknown country and future in their fight for survival. Interrupted Journeys reveals the wartime stories of the Kindertransports and other child and teen refugees, also the trials and eventual triumphs of young people who survived the Nazi camps, or were in hiding, and who migrated to the same destinations, sponsored by private and government agencies, in the post-war era. Some of the accounts are strange, like that of the Dunera Boys -- low category enemy aliens shipped from Britain to Australia, where they were interned for nearly two years "by mistake". Even stranger is the saga of the renowned (non-Jewish) Vienna Mozart Boys Choir, who had the misfortune to be touring Australia when war began. (Source: Publisher).
Dubai - Sydney - Singapur und so weiter
Diese vierte und letzte der Happy-Rolliday-Reisen des seit 1977 nach einem Armee-Unfall hochgradig querschnittsgelähmten Autors, der sich trotzdem die Welt ansehen will, beginnt mit einem Irrtum – bei deren Planung: Die angenehme Atmosphäre in Rheinsberg war schuld, dass wir trotz alledem übers Reisen parlierten und irgendwie einigten wir uns endgültig auf Florida zum Jahresende 2002, um dann darüber hinaus eine Reise nach Sydney in Erwägung zu ziehen. Ich war fix dabei, einen Termin anzuberaumen: Sommer sollte sein - in den südlichen Breiten unserer Erdkugel erstreckt er sich von Oktober bis März. Und hier unterlief mir nun jene kolossale Fehlrechnung: In meiner Erinnerung hatten ...

Happy Rolliday
Es ist nach wie vor ein gewagtes Unternehmen, als Rollstuhlfahrer mit dem Flugzeug unterwegs zu sein. Und das nicht nur von Berlin nach München, sondern gleich über den Großen Teich. Aber es ist wirklich eine Frage der Organisation, sich auf so einen Trip einlassen zu können. In diesem konkreten Falle traf manch Positives zusammen: Das Wichtigste war wohl, dass unser Gastgeber in San Fran (sage niemals Frisco, dann gibt es Zanke mit Einheimischen!) ein alter Schulfreund war. Dieser war Anfang der Neunziger von seiner Reederei als Repräsentant mit Familie, Haus und Auto in die wohl schönste Stadt Kaliforniens geschickt worden. Durch diese private Anbindung haben wir in vierzehn Tagen ei...
