Thoughts in the Ether - Pensamientos en El Éter
Volume 1 - Large Print Edition - Hardbound

Explaining nuanced subjects like The Holocaust and the Cold War in the age of Social Media soundbites is a challenge, to say the least. Those are emotionally charged subjects to communicate in prose. They are doubly so when they are also communicating the lived experience of the author.  This book is a compilation of the short-verse, and sometimes poetical, Social Media posts of a Holocaust Historian and Cold War ex-pat.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This book has been released in both Large Print and Standard editions.

A bilingual retrospective into the dual cultural, political, and philosophical lives of ex-pat refugees:

The 20th Century saw millions escape to the United States for a chance at economic autonomy, self-determination, and individual dignity. These ex-pats found themselves in a nation whose heritage and ethos were vastly different from the lands they original came from, weighing values of sometimes opposing worldviews. This dual focus challenged and tested even the most deeply held convictions. This duality in perspective forged views and convictions in ways they never would have in the echo chamber that are neatly demarcated cultural bounds.

This book charts and communicates the thoughts and sentiments of a Holocaust and political historian whose own lived experience was that of straddled borders. Researching and writing about the Holocaust and the Cold War will challenges any researcher’s views on humanity. Those are emotionally intense subjects on their own. They are doubly so when the research reflects the lived experience of the ex-pat political refugee. The topics become urgently pertinent when current events begin to reflect and repeat the patterns of history.
