Arrived at Last
After many years of publishing journalistic and scholarly articles, Gert Niers decided to break away from this format and to apply to his writing a more personal style suitable for autobiography and memoirs. Arrived at Last is the story of his life in Germany after World War Two and then in America, the country of his choice. He tells his autobiography in an uncomplicated, colloquial fashion the way one would talk perhaps at a bar table surrounded by friends. This approach allows him to comment on many experiences and aspects of life. He also reminisces about his excursions into France, Belgium, and the Netherlands and later on about the many people he met in the German and German-Jewish community of New York City. Everything is seen from a very personal perspective, confession-style. Still the author has rendered historical facts as precisely and correctly as it was possible to him. His descriptions and conclusions are those of an experienced observer. His book is a contribution to minority and immigrant literature, but also a cultural commentary about life in Europe and the U.S.

Rolf Bongs
Diese Studie ist der Versuch einer wissenschaftlichen Annäherung an das Werk und die Biographie des Düsseldorfer Schriftstellers Rolf Bongs (1907-1981). Die Verfasserin stellt die These auf, dass der heute kaum noch bekannte Autor zu der Alterskohorte der um «neunzehnhunderttraurig geborenen» (Orłowski) Schriftsteller gehört, deren Berufsfindungsprozess im Nationalsozialismus nicht unterbrochen wurde, wenn dieser Prozess auch in einem Schlängelpfad zwischen Anpassung und Abwehr zu manchen Deformationen führte, die hier als soziologische Dissoziation definiert werden können. Ihre Konsequenzen in der Nachkriegszeit gehören zu den Hauptthemen der Arbeit.
