Remigration

Another topic I have “touched upon” is “remigration.” This word is a neologism, which means coming back to where you have been driven out.I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes.

Remarkable People

On the road I have traveled, I have met many remarkable people. First I name my friend and mentor the late Emile Capouya. “Mike” encouraged me over the years and published two of my books in New York.

grew up in the United States, associating with the New York City jazz and coffee scene in the 1950s. ". . .I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes". As a subtitle I’ve chosen “Stepping out of line,” which is a movement my feet can’t seem to avoid making.

Vienna Today

Returning to my birthplace has given me a unique opportunity of writing on Third Reich Revisionism. This topic interlinks with Violence under the Guise of Art like pieces of a puzzle to reveal how the past manifests itself in the present.

The Gory Club

Four little girls were killed by a segregationist’s bomb in a Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. The perpetrators were monsters who can be compared to the Nazi murderers of children.

Now children are killed on a daily basis by pious men (and women) who pray five times a day.

In 2002 two devout Israelis attempted to set a bomb off at a Palestinian girl’s school. Fortunately they did not succeed. The comparison to Nazis is also valid for this set of would-be perpetrators.

My parents and I were refugees from Nazi Germany. Members of our family were murdered in the Shoah. I loathe the murderers of helpless civilians. The last thing I want to be in this life is a Nazi or a Nazi-type murderer.

All murderers of children belong to the same gory club. And some of the best members are those who are pious and pray every day. What kind of God do they have?
