The Rothschild family had lived in Frankfurt’s Jewish ghetto for 400 years. They earned their living by selling goods on the back of a donkey. By the mid-1800s they likely were the wealthiest family on the planet. Their enormous wealth enabled them to impact major events throughout Europe and the Middle East, including funding Wellington’s army against Napoleon, Britain’s abolition of slavery, control of the Suez Canal, and the railways in Austria and Germany.

COLD CREMATORIUM:

The "Lost" Holocaust Masterpiece

with Alex Bruner

Wednesday, MARCH 13, 7:30 pm ET

FREE VIRTUAL; advance registration required


A lost classic of Holocaust literature translated for the first time—from journalist, poet and survivor József Debreczeni. When veteran journalist, poet, and novelist József Debreczeni arrived in Auschwitz, he was “lucky" to be sent to a life of slave labor rather than directly to the gas chambers. He survived, and after the war wrote Cold Crematorium, which one reviewer called “the harshest, most merciless indictment of Nazism ever written.”

The work was first published in Hungarian in 1950 but was never translated into a world language due to McCarthyism, Cold War hostilities, and antisemitism. Until now!

EXPRESS YOURSELF


Compassion is language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

~Mark Twain


Carry a heart that never hates, a smile that never fades,

And a touch that never hurts.


Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret,

For I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true

~Robert Brault


Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you,

not because they are nice but because you are.


A good character is the best tombstone.

Those who loved you will remember.

Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.


It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.
