Three Tearless Histories by Erich Hackl and Mike Mitchell
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 480 KB
Overview: With characteristic literary reflection, the latest book by award-winning Austrian author Erich Hackl humanizes three great, but little known, historical tragedies. “Tschofenig: The Name Behind the Street” recounts the improbable wedding of resistance fighter Gisela Tschofenig (1917-1945) while she was a prisoner in Dachau; “The Photographer of Auschwitz” offers a fragmented biography of Wilhelm Brasse (1917-2012), who photographed Auschwitz inmates and saved evidence of Mengele’s terrible crimes; and “The Klagsbrunn Family” traces the multi-generational story of the Klagsbrunns who, fearing the rise of Nazism in Vienna, fled to Brazil where their grandson was arrested and tortured under that country’s fascist dictatorship.
“Erich Hackl’s subjects are all actual events, fates and biographies. Often with considerable research and effort, he digs deep into the histories of people whose destiny very often have to do with Nazism and / or with Judaism. In his new collection of short [non-fiction] stories Three tearless histories, two of which are already published in Austria in newspapers and anthologies, Hackl tells of Jewish people and their destinies. […] These stories get under one’s skin.” – Winfried Stanzick, Top Ten Review for Bucher.de, July 9, 2015
