Ferramonti
SECOND EDITION It’s July 1940, Italy. A young Polish-born Jewish doctor, rendered stateless by the racial laws of 1938, is unable to flee the country. Henry Raupner is arrested and transported to Ferramonti Concentration Camp in Calabria, destined to become the largest internment camp for Jews in the whole of Italy. This autobiographical novel written by Henry in 1982, takes the reader back to WW2 to experience life behind the barbed wire of Ferramonti, its freezing winters, scorching summers, malaria swamps, hunger and uncertainty. Above all, Ferramonti becomes the salvation of 3,000 Jews escaping the clutches of the Final Solution.
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...

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.
The Making of Prussia
So many heroes have been lost to history and this book attempts to bring the reader's attention to two great men who by working in harmony were able to transform the fate of Prussia. Gertha von Dieckmann originally wrote this book in German in 1930. Today, the book contains so many intimate insights into the workings in the administration of the Prussian states during and after the French occupation that it has become relevant for the modern reader. For the first time this work has been now translated into English and will provide valuable insights into the background which undoubtedly led up to the catastrophic events of the twentieth century. To make it even more informative, a consider...
Judaism and World Order
Originally published in 1943, this book provides both valuable insights into the problems confronting Judaism at the end of the Second World War but also a solution towards peace for mankind in general. The books covers such subjects as why anything Jewish has suffered so much hatred which caused even a hatred of Christianity and the democratic way of life. This is pertinent to the situation between Christians, Jews and Moslems today. The book is an appeal for the building of a ‘Dienstvolk’ as the only alternative to a ‘Herrenvolk’. There may be lessons here also for the modern State of Israel which since then has become a fact and the dilemma of a people which are actually called as messengers of peace.

The Politics of God
In The Politics of God, Hugh Schonfield builds upon his controversial best-seller The Passover Plot to reveal the vision which had been driving him most of his life. In searching for the common roots of Judaism and Christianity, he uncovers Jesus the Jew and the Messiah for all people.Calling on a wide range of thinkers as well as his extensive historical and biblical research, he exposes Jesus the Messiah as the founder not of a religion but of a nation set apart to the service of Mankind.This renowned historian seeks an answer to the difficulties in discovering a solution in today's religions as well as the disillusionment with state politic's inability to find an answer to peace in the world, Hugh Schonfield uncovers an ancient idea which he believes to be the only possible solution to Humankind's dilemma - the Politics of God.
Reminiscences of Louise Romberg Fuchs 1927
We, who live in the Machine Age, can scarcely imagine how our grandparents and parents, who came from a populous country, the home of their parents, and moved with them to the thinly settled state of Texas, passed their youth — under circumstances and surroundings so entirely different from those under which we grandchildren and children live. Therefore, we gladly listen when Grandmother or Grandfather tells of that time: the pioneer days with their sorrows and joys! And so the children and grandchildren of Louise Fuchs have asked her to write down her Reminiscences, so that those days will not vanish for us in the stream of time. Frieda H. Fuchs
