Story description A Film Treatment is available to legitimate film production companies for this true story Drancy – Journey's End!' - based on the true account of Thomas Roscoe from his 'Wartime Log' which he wrote during his captivity as a teenage civilian. 'Drancy - Journey's End' is written in a novel style. The account stretches from the day he stepped on board the cargo ship in 1937 (at the age of 14) that was to be his workplace and home for the foreseeable future, through to a meeting held at the houses of Parliament in 1993. The book attempts to view things as he would have done at such a young age. This is a true story of a 14 year old British boy from Liverpool who lied about his age in order to fulfil his childhood dream, to see the world. Using his older brother’s birth certificate, Thomas was able to secure himself a job on a cargo ship, SS Davisian in 1937 two years before the outbreak of WWII. The book covers his fears as the ship he was working on was bombarded with shells from a German surface raider, the scuttling of his ship in shark infested waters. It covers the horrors he endured in a concentration camp, the screams of men, women and children as they were beaten and tortured by guards, the fears he had, his hopes and dreams all dashed and then a final battle in 1993 with a British tribunal. The author is trying to get the war and maritime records corrected and to bring this account into the Public Domain. The author is also looking for a film producer to help put this true story on the screen. The only record the Liverpool Maritime Museum has been that Thomas was sent to one P.O.W. camp, Milag-Nord. They had no idea that other camps were involved. They were shocked to see the Parliamentary tribunal transcript about Drancy concentration camp. Why was there no mention to the media back then about non-combatant British teenage civilians being held in Drancy concentration camp? Was it because it would have caused a media frenzy back then and even today, to know that the government tribunal of the time not only played down Drancy as a Concentration camp, but also left British civilians in Germany even after the war. Maybe that was why they denied it was a concentration camp, maybe that was also the reason why that meeting in 1993 was held so late at night and maybe it could have caused a huge legal battle with even greater compensation with the British media wanting to know why they were left there. So, from the tribunal’s viewpoint, deny Drancy was a concentration camp and don't pay the compensation out, compensation that Germany had given. There are others around the world who deny Drancy was a concentration camp, obviously the holocaust deniers are at the top of the list, referring to it as just a ‘transit’ camp. The following statement is in the 1993 tribunal transcript (copy in the book), quote, ‘under the legal definition that we apply in the United Kingdom, we do not accept that Drancy was a concentration camp’, unquote. The 1993 Parliamentary tribunal transcript in the book states, quote, "On 13 August 1992, Helmut Wegner, the Minister Plenipotentiary at the German embassy in London, wrote to stating that his Government confirmed that in the ”Bundegesetzblatt"— the official gazette—Drancy is listed in the published list of concentration camps" unquote. The Israeli Government, at the Yad Yashem memorial in Jerusalem, has a memorial to holocaust victims, listed there is Drancy as a concentration camp.” These are just two of a number of statements listed in the book. According to the Weiner Library in London, the oldest institution in the world that specialises in the Holocaust, Drancy was a ‘concentration camp’ (their statement is in the transcript of the 1993 meeting) toward the end of the book. Interesting too is the fact that on Amazon there are books about Drancy referring to it as a concentration camp and each of those books are of German origin. The Jewish Memorial in San Francisco has Drancy listed as a concentration camp along with Belsen, Auschwitz and numerous other concentration camps. I photographed one particular memorial stone showing Drancy which is in this book. There are also eye witness accounts and other references. There is more to this story, but after nearly 10 years of emails, research and letter writing to various government departments in the UK and abroad there is still a lot of questions that need answers in particular, dates of incarceration.

A thoughtful and rigorous examination of the Jewish experience under Hitler’s “Final Solution”—based on eyewitness accounts and contemporary evidence. Focusing on firsthand narratives from survivors and supported by contextual scholarship, Gilbert presents a masterful cross-section of the experiences of the millions of European Jews who lost their homes, careers, families, and lives at the hands of Hitler’s “Final Solution.” The accounts of these journeys are at once unique and unified by both their tragedy and by their triumphs. Gilbert’s vast knowledge on the subject, coupled with his frank and readable style, makes Final Journey accessible to readers and scholars alike. The text is supported by eighty-four photographs—many of which were published for the first time in 1979—and twenty-four pages of maps prepared by the author, which help bring the stories of the men, women, and children back to life in unflinching detail.

"The Second World War was a common experience of cultural and historical rupture for many European countries, but studies of this period and its after-images often remain locked in national frameworks. Jones' comparative study of national memory cultures argues for a more nuanced view of responses to shared issues of remembrance. Focusing on the 1960s and 1970s, two decades of great change and debate in French and German discourses of memory, it investigates literary representations of the Second World War, and in particular the Holocaust, from France and both Germanies. The study encompasses thirteen works representing a variety of genres and divergent perspectives, and authors include Jorge Semprun, Peter Weiss, Georges Perec and Bernward Vesper. Addressing the underlying theme of travel as a means of exploring the past, it contrasts the journeys made by deportees and post-war visitors to the camps with the use of the journey as a literary device."

6th September, 1942: a middle-aged Jewish refugee stands on the Swiss side of the Franco-Swiss border above Geneva. He has been living in Switzerland since he fled Vienna in November 1938, as the Nazi persecution of the city's Jewish population intensified. He is now waiting for the arrival of the wife he has not seen for nearly four years. Against all odds he has managed to get an entry permit for her to join him in Switzerland. She appears on the French side. They see each other. Call out. She begins to cross the few yards of no-mans-land that separate them. An official calls her back. She hesitates, turns, goes back - and is lost forever. This book tells the story of the wartime journey of Toni Schiff, as she ventured across Europe to the this fateful near-meeting at the Franco-Swiss border – and what happened next. Based on the extensive research of her daughter, Kindertransportee Hilda Schiff, and told by Sheila Rosenberg, who shared much of the later research and many of the research journeys, this book sheds light on the lives of one family – caught up in, and ultimately separated by, the tragic and tumultuous events of World War II.

This book provides a wide-ranging analysis of French Jewish authors born after the Shoah and traces the development of the rich agenda of jeune littérature juive (young Jewish writing) from its beginnings in the late 1970s, into the 1980s and 1990s, when it gained intense momentum. Thomas Nolden uses a wealth of biographical information to expound on his central thesis: the abrupt interruption of transmission of the Jewish heritage by assimilation, migration, and near-extermination required these writers to reinvent themselves, their past, and their memories as Jews. Nolden provides concise readings of the fiction of more than two dozen writers of both Sephardic and Ashkenazi background living in present-day France. He demonstrates how contemporary Jewish writing has responded historically, culturally, politically, and aesthetically to developments in French society and in Jewish culture. His critical analysis of the major themes, concerns, and stylistic features of the authors' work connects Jewish writing in France to the traditions of Jewish writing both during the Diaspora and in Israel.

Alex's Wake is a tale of two parallel journeys undertaken seven decades apart. In the spring of 1939, Alex and Helmut Goldschmidt were two of more than 900 Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany aboard the St. Louis, “the saddest ship afloat” (New York Times). Turned away from Cuba, the United States, and Canada, the St. Louis returned to Europe, a stark symbol of the world's indifference to the gathering Holocaust. The Goldschmidts disembarked in France, where they spent the next three years in six different camps before being shipped to their deaths in Auschwitz. In the spring of 2011, Alex's grandson, Martin Goldsmith, followed in his relatives' footsteps on a six-week journey of remembrance and hope, an irrational quest to reverse their fate and bring himself peace. Alex's Wake movingly recounts the detailed histories of the two journeys, the witnesses Martin encounters for whom the events of the past are a vivid part of a living present, and an intimate, honest attempt to overcome a tormented family legacy.

The idea of the ‘project’ crosses generic, disciplinary and cultural frontiers. At a time when writers and artists are increasingly describing their practices as ‘projects’, remarkably little critical attention has been paid to the actual idea of the ‘project’. This collection of essays responds to an urgent need by suggesting a framework for evaluating the notion of the project in the light of various modernist and postmodernist cultural practices, drawn mainly but not exclusively from the French-speaking domain. The overview offered by this volume promises to makes an original and thought-provoking contribution to contemporary literary, artistic and cultural criticism.

Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, a riveting story of Jewish families seeking to escape Nazi Germany. In 1938, on the eve of World War II, the American journalist Dorothy Thompson wrote that "a piece of paper with a stamp on it" was "the difference between life and death." The Unwanted is the intimate account of a small village on the edge of the Black Forest whose Jewish families desperately pursued American visas to flee the Nazis. Battling formidable bureaucratic obstacles, some make it to the United States while others are unable to obtain the necessary documents. Some are murdered in Auschwitz, their applications for American visas still "pending." Drawing on previously unpublished letters, diaries, interviews, and visa records, Michael Dobbs provides an illuminating account of America's response to the refugee crisis of the 1930s and 1940s. He describes the deportation of German Jews to France in October 1940, along with their continuing quest for American visas. And he re-creates the heated debates among U.S. officials over whether or not to admit refugees amid growing concerns about "fifth columnists," at a time when the American public was deeply isolationist, xenophobic, and antisemitic. A Holocaust story that is both German and American, The Unwanted vividly captures the experiences of a small community struggling to survive amid tumultuous world events.
