Softbound. 8vo. 287 pages. 24cm. Illustrated. First edition. Inscribed by author Helen Mitsios. Photo Album appendix contains black and white photographs and reproductions of documents. Filled with insight and humor, this dual memoir by Rasia, born in Vilnius, Lithuania (who survived the Holocaust on a false identity) , and her daughter Helen, born in Montreal, Canada, examines the long-term implications of being a survivor of the Holocaust and the unique pressures and anxieties the children of survivors inherit from their parents. Rasia, determined to protect Helen from anti-Semitism, continues to pose as a Christian and raises her daughter in the Catholic faith, forbidding her from mentioning her Jewish identity. This compassionate memoir addresses the unspoken tension that complicated a mother-daughter relationship, follows Helen on her journey to embrace Judaism, and is a heart-stopping story of escape and survival from Nazi terror.

Original Publishers Cloth. 8vo. X, 231 pages. 21 cm. In German. Originally published in English as Germany-Fascist or Soviet? This German translation interestingly became much more significant in Germany, which it described (in 1932! ) as being on the precipice of a collapse into Nazism or Communism. From the Preface (translated) : Five thousand Bolsheviks made the Russian Revolution. In Germany, there are an estimated 6 million voters for the Communist Party. 200 000 fascists in Italy brought Mussolini to power. Behind Adolf Hitler's Nazi party in Germany are possibly I2 million voters. How long can the German Republic survive? 56 per cent of interational trade is made in Europe. Almost 51% of Europe's foreign trade is in the hands of Germany. A temporary paralysis or even elimination of German participation in the economic machinery of the world would be felt in all countries. . America alone is involved with 38% of the total direct foreign investment in Germany and consequently has a greater interest in the preservation of private capitalism in the Republic than any other country in the world with the exception of Germany itself. $4, 000, 000, 000: this sum . Would be the loss of these and other foreign investments directly and indirectly associated with Germany's instability if it were pushed into a long-lasting civil war, or if it abandoned the system of private capitalism.
