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.

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.

A Short Life

The life of a handsome little boy was snuffed out. He left this earth at the age of 17 months before Christmas of 2007.

His mother’s boyfriend had severely beaten him and sexually abused him.

The mother brought the injured boy to a hospital, where his physical injuries were cared for. Then the authorities returned him to the venue of his suffering, which was the proper course to take according to the law.

Less than a year-and-a half after entering this world, the boy left it as a result of fatal injuries administered by his mother’s boyfriend.

The boy’s short life had consisted of nothing but the most intense suffering.

The only guilty party was the boyfriend. The mother had noticed nothing. Each of the officials involved declared that they boy’s death was unfortunate, but that he had strictly followed regulations.

The small coffin did not take much space in the cemetery.
