Alice Weil Bücher

Dies ist eine wahre, bewegende Geschichte, basierend auf dreizehn Jahren der Forschung. Es ist die Geschichte der Freundschaft zwischen dem jüdischen Jungen Freddy und seinem christlichen Freund Helmut, die durch die politischen Turbulenzen und den Nachwirkungen des ersten Weltkriegs in Deutschland voneinander getrennt wurden, denn Freddys Familie wurde dazu gezwungen Zuflucht in Frankreich zu suchen. Es ist die Geschichte der Freundschaft zwischen Freddy und seinem Mitschüler George, den er in der Schule in Paris kennenlernte. Es ist die Geschichte von Sigmund, dessen patriotische Blindheit das Leben seiner ganzen Familie beeinflusste. Ich fühlte immer schon den Drang diese Geschichte zu schreiben, sie frei zu erzählen, ohne literarische oder formale Einschränkungen, so dass die Seele der Charaktere mit all ihren Qualitäten und Einschränkungen, durch sie zu glänzen beginnen kann. Nun, nach all den Jahren, hat diese Geschichte endlich das Licht der Welt erblickt.

Mother Nature has issued human beings various warnings over the years, some subtle, some not so subtle; messages she intended to wake us up with, ones that would stop us from directing the planet onto a path that, some say, might already be irreversible.Unfortunately, these messages have largely gone unheeded up until now, which is why Mother Nature has decided to create something new: an Agent that is absolutely unpredictable. Her hope is that humanity will finally wake up and not only begin to preserve the planet, thus saving it from death and destruction, but bringing us humans back to the knowledge that we are one regardless of race, class or colour, and that by working together we can finally attain our freedom.Mother Nature and the Agent is about paying close attention to the greatest signs she has ever given us, so we can ultimately bring about change and welcome in a new era.

In 1990, Alice Weil was kidnapped in Colombia and held captive in a dark, windowless cell for 269 days. She tells the story of how she found the resources hidden deep inside her to survive captivity without taking her own life, losing her sanity or developing Stockholm syndrome. Instead, she was able to remain calm and courageous, always being polite and making conversation to her captors and using her time in ways that she would later be able to draw upon her daily life. The story tells of how she realised that experience contributed to who she is today and upon her release, she was able to face her beloved father's passing, continue being a devoted mother and wife, and lead a normal, productive life. She also learned that she was capable of closing the gap caused by the time she was not part of her family's life or the outside world.

Survival: A Story of Friendship - Part 2 is about the voyage Freddy and his mother, Helene, take to escape Europe and the ravages of World War II. After promising Sigmund on his deathbed that they would reunite the family in a peaceful and friendly country, they make their way via ship to Colombia, the country Nellie had made her home just as the Nazi movement in Germany was gaining momentum. After their safe arrival, Freddy is forced to look for work in order to support his mother and himself while adjusting to new surroundings at the same time. After some fortuitous, work-related encounters, Freddy decides to not only run his own lingerie business but produce the raw materials he needs himself. This is the story of how someone who was unable to complete school or go to university, due to strictly unfortunate circumstances, had the vision and skills to found a company that would provide jobs and well-being. Thus giving back to the country that granted him what the German Nazi government had taken away from him: his nationality.
