Somewhere in Europe: The World War II Letters of Sam Lesner is a compilation of letters that he wrote from the ETO, where he was stationed, during World War II and which got saved but hidden away in a basement and never mentioned, until they were found by his daughters after his death. This book provides an eye-witness account about the War, about being a GI struggling to defeat the Nazis while missing home and family. He wrote about making friends with army buddies, treating wounded soldiers from the front in the 130th General Hospital in which he served as a medic, meeting Belgian and French holocaust survivors and learning their stories. The letters are supplemented with excerpts from an oral history of the same material he gave to a grandson in 1986. The book ends with an Epilogue about Sam's post-War career as a journalist with the Chicago Daily News and the Hyde Park Herald. This book contributes to a body of literature of previously hidden World War II letters. The soldiers came home and hid their daily correspondence to their families in basements and attics. Decades later the children and grandchildren of these veterans are finding the letters and bringing them to light, as we have done with our father's letters.

The concluding second volume of "Somewhere in Europe" Love does not discriminate. Love can happen to anyone. Todd, 19, a Eurovision Song Contest fan who has recently come out as gay, heads to Malta for the Contest - his first time at Eurovision. There, he meets 23 year-old Greek Cypriot Argyris Dimitriadis, whose crazy mission seems to be to get his photograph taken with all the singers of this year's Eurovision - whilst they hold a white plastic picnic fork he owns. Despite Argyris being described as an "obsessed freak" by a clique of UK fans whom Todd is friends with, Todd feels increasingly attracted to the one-armed Argyris, whom Todd learns posesses a style and an individuality all his own. Just what is the secret behind that white plastic picnic fork? Argyris doesn't say, but as the days go by, Todd finds himself wanting to help Argyris complete his crazy mission - and also finds himself falling in love. This is a story of friendship and love, of humour and feeling, of being different, and of individuality fighting back against cliques and narrow-mindedness - all set to the backdrop of the Eurovision Song Contest; two crazy weeks in May when fans from all over Europe converge in one country to attend the most important event of their year...

Hungarian cinema began in cafes, and short films were projected at the Velence coffee-house in Budapest in the late 1890s. By 1912, a distinct film culture had formed in Hungary, which - unlike the imported American popular entertainment cinema - throughout its history has shown a commitment to the idea of film as art. This new book is a detailed historical, critical and appreciative account of the Hungarian cinema from its early days to the transforming 1990s, and provides an extended analysis of some 50 directors and their key films. It describes the ways in which the industry has developed, largely with the assistance of the state, especially since the Second World War, and shows how the Hungarian cinema has achieved an international success out of all proportion to its size, and despite the potential obstructions of language and culture. The author concludes with a survey of recent filmmaking activities, and a look towards the future in rapidly changing Eastern Europe. This book will appeal to all those interested in Hungarian and Eastern European film and history.

On the span of European countries defeated by the Allies, Hungary's position changed according to its political relations with the Soviet Union. American public opinion, attentive to what was happening in Central Europe in the 1950s, acquired its information through the US press (both newspapers and periodicals), as well as in literature and cinema. After a brief overview of the Magyar presence in the USA from the 1848 Freedom Fighters to the Second World War, the author questions the evolution of the cultural influence of Hungary in the United States at the beginning of the Cold War. It aims at showing that a cultural explanation also exists for the non-intervention of the US military forces during the October 1956 uprising. It eventually questions the accuracy of the image of Hungary in the United States.

An analysis of films produced in post-World War II Eastern Europe featuring the trope of the orphan, and the issues these characters addressed. Unlike the benevolent orphan found in Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid or the sentimentalized figure of Little Orphan Annie, the orphan in postwar Eastern European cinema takes on a more politically fraught role, embodying the tensions of individuals struggling to recover from war and grappling with an unknown future under Soviet rule. By exploring films produced in postwar Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Poland, Constantin Parvulescu traces the way in which cinema envisioned and debated the condition of the post-World War II subject and the “new man” of Soviet-style communism. In these films, the orphan becomes a cinematic trope that interrogates socialist visions of ideological institutionalization and re-education and stands as a silent critic of the system’s shortcomings or as a resilient spirit who has resisted capture by the political apparatus of the new state. “By using the trope of an orphan Constantin Parvulescu demonstrates how films made in countries such as Hungary, East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Romania reflected on the specific problems affecting Eastern Europe after 1945, such as the loss of population, economic backwardness, the legacy of the Holocaust, while engaging in wider debates, especially the superiority of socialism over capitalism. Economically and elegantly written, it demonstrates that cinema produced in the periphery can be central to our understanding of films as ideological tools. This is one of the best books on Eastern European cinema ever written.” —Ewa Mazierska, University of Central Lancashire “Groundbreaking. . . . The author’s comparative, transnational perspective in chapters devoted to close textual analyses of each narrative demonstrates the value of reading film as a primary source for understanding the relationships among state power, intergenerational trauma, and revolutionary subjectivity. Parvulescu’s highly original portrayal of a landscape of parentless children evokes the trauma of war and the specificity of the socialist experiment in the former Eastern Bloc.” —Catherine Portuges, University of Massachusetts-Amherst “Parvulescu has taken a highly innovative approach to socialist and post-socialist cinema in the region, and one that is vividly illustrated by a superb selection of films.” —Studies in European Cinema

The Chinese are among Europe's oldest immigrant communities, and are now, in several countries, among the biggest and, economically, the most powerful, drawing increasing interest from other ethnic minorities, governments, and researchers. This volume opens up and delineates this new field of European overseas Chinese studies, reporting on pioneering research on the Chinese in Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain, and exploring the networks, self-organizations, and migration patterns that are the fabric of the Chinese community in Europe, together with the issues of identity, language, integration, and community building that Chinese throughout the continent face.
