Name: Memoirs Of My Jewish Great Grandfather (Karl Holzer) Subtitle: Author: Holzer, Karl Editor: Abukhalil, M.A. Category: German-Irish Collection Publisher: Belfast Historical & Educational Society Published: 2002 ISBN: 1 872078 07 8 Contents: Karl Holzer—a successful Jewish businessman in Vienna—wrote down his Memoirs for his children and grandchildren in the 1920s. His daughter, fleeing Nazism in the late 1930s, brought them to London. A copy of them was sent to her niece in Israel—and eventually came into the hands of his great-grand-daughter—M. A. AbuKhalil—back in London. Nothing too unusual there. What is curious is that his great-grand-daughter is Arabic, as well as Jewish—excluded from Palestine by a military campaign in which her Jewish uncle played a leading part. Confused? You soon will be! Many refugees have published their experiences. What is unusual about this book is that it tells the story of a family which had to start life again three times over. Hedi Aufrichtig was Karl's grand-daughter. She escaped from Europe on an illegal refugee ship to Palestine, where she offended her Jewish milieu by marrying a Palestinian Arab. The fulfilment of the Zionist dream by the Jews of Palestine forced her to start a second life in Cyprus, and then a third in London. This book contains Karl Holzer's Memoir, in both the original German and an English translation by Angela Clifford. It is introduced by M.A. AbuKhalil. An Epilogue continues Hedi's story, while an Appendix examines how a huge swathe of Hedi's in-laws were driven out of their homeland in 1947-1948. The story provides a unique insight into the position of Jews in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and into the Palestine / Zion conflict. Extracts: No extra online material at this time. Errata: Family information: Hanna Ibrhim Khalil of Bethlehem and Jerusalem married Hedi Aufrichtig of Vienna. They had three daughters, the eldest of which - Angela Khalil Clifford - compiled this book. It was Hedi Aufrichtig Khalil's grandfather who wrote the memoirs which are reproduced in this book.

Name: Memoirs Of William Sampson Subtitle: Author: Sampson, William Editor: Robinson, Kenneth Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 2007 ISBN: 978 085034 117 1 Contents: William Sampson was one of the United Irishmen who was singled out for ill-treatment by the authorities, with the malevolence continuing even after he was sent into exile. What earned him the particular hatred of the ruling junta was that, unlike most of the other Northern United Irishmen, he was of themselves: from an Ascendancy family, an Attorney at Law, Church of Ireland, well-to-do, and, as he says, "the road to advancement open". But, instead of climbing the ladder to legal eminence, he used his brilliant talents to undermine the oppressive regime: writing and petitioning for constitutional government, and defending United Irishmen in court. He was driven to such "sedition" by the manner in which Ireland was being ruled by a "terrorist Parliament". In this book, having told the story of his confinement, exile and further confinements, Sampson writes a History of Ireland, concluding "for six hundred years and more…we have seen our country exposed to never ceasing torments, and struggling against oppressions as cruel as absurd". In this, brief accounts are given of the Irish policies of various Kings who, after the Reformation, are described as "Popes" on the English throne. The story is brought up to his own times, with vivid instances of how the military beat the population down into submission. This is not a dispassionate Memoir or academic History. It is a story, strongly located in time and place—one which is told with the simple objective of furthering the cause of reform in Ireland. But it is a story, above all, and all sorts of weird and wonderful things turn up in it: the 'Ancient Britons' of Wales, who were 'jumpers'; Portugese prison life; revolutionary local government in France; and even a vignette of the special position of women in French social life. All the more surprising, therefore, that William Sampson's Memoirs have not been kept in print. The present complete reprint is introduced and annotated by Kenneth Robinson. It is based on the second, extended, edition of 1817 and the republication marks the bicentary of the Memoirs. Extracts: No extracts available at present. Errata: No errata available at present.

Name: Military Aspects Of Ireland's Arms Crisis Of 1969-70 Subtitle: Author: Clifford, Angela Editor: Category: Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 2006 ISBN: 1 874157 16 2 Contents: One of the best-kept secrets of recent decades is the 1969-70 military policy of Jack Lynch's Government, improvised during and after the 'Siege of Derry' and subsequent disorders in the North. The Army was for the first time in fifty years ordered to the Border. The cover story was that Field Hospitals and Refugee Camps had o be established for Northerners. In fact, the mobilisation was comprehensive and the two Army Reserve Forces were brought into play. A study of released Secret official documents, some 30 of which are reproduced here, reveals that the Army was ordered to prepare to arm the Northern Ireland minority and to provide military training. It was also ordered to prepare for military operations in Northern Ireland. It took these orders seriously and set about special training and re-equipment. For the first time in half a century there was military thinking about Northern Ireland. This policy lasted from mid-August 1969 until Jack Lynch changed tack, created the Arms Crisis in late April/early May 1970, and criminalised some of those who had been implementing Cabinet policy. He ousted his Minister for Justice (Michael O Morain); dismissed two Cabinet Ministers (Neil Blaney and Charles Haughey); arrested James Kelly, the Intelligence Captain chiefly concerned with liaising with Northern Citizens' Defence, along with John Kelly, a Northern Defence Committee leader, as well as a Belgian businessman who was only marginally involved, Albert Luykx. The accusation was that they had been conspiring to illegally import arms. The documents in this book prove beyond doubt, however, that the arms importation was part of Government policy. The political theatre of the Arms Crisis changed the medium of political life in the South, and set going a new political and military departure in the Northern Nationalist community.

Name: Moabite Sonnets (1944-45) Subtitle: Author: Haushofer, Albrecht Editor: Clifford, Angela Category: German-Irish Collection Publisher: Athol Books Published: 2001 ISBN: 0 85034 092 6 Contents: German, with an English translation by Angela Clifford. Introduction by Angela Clifford: The Haushofers, Geopolitics And The Second World War. Albrecht Haushofer's "Moabite Sonnets", which were written in a Nazi Jail in 1944-45, appear here for the first time in English translation, along with the original German text. In these 79 personal, philosophical and political Sonnets Albrecht mourns the fate of his country under Hitler from the viewpoint of a thoroughly German Jew who chose to serve the National Socialist State with a view to modifying its policies, or later, of overthrowing it. But how did a Jewish anti-Nazi get into such a position? Angela Clifford, the translator of the poems, tries to answer that question in an Introduction which shows the linkage between the Geopolitics developed by Sir Halford Mackinder, long-term Director of the London School of Economics; General Professor Karl Haushofer, who took up and developed the Mackinder ideas; Rudolf Hess, military aide-de-camp and student of Haushofer's, who became Adolf Hitler's Secretary; and, finally Adolf Hitler, who fed his expansionist vision for a German East European Empire on those strategic principles. No doubt Mackinder came to wonder whether he had been too open when theorising the British strategic experience of Empire and developing new Imperial perspectives for his British audience, especially when it was suggested in America during the Second World War that he had provided a programme for Hitler. It was Karl's unique position with the Nazi hierarchy which gave his son, Albrecht, his chance?or, rather, which put him in a dilemma. Albrecht played for high stakes and reckoned on being either forced to become Hitler's Foreign Minister or being executed. In the wake of the misfired assassination attempt of 20th July 1944, imprisoned, and then shot just as the Russians were entering Berlin. However, he saved his Sonnets, which were clutched in his dead fist, and in many ways, they speak for him. 94 pp. Illustrations, Bibliography, Index. Extracts: No extra online material at this time.
