A journey began to unfold when Tadashi Kanzawa turned heads at the local zoo in Japan. Dozens of animals began falling to the ground and entering a comfortable slumber before the waving of his hand. Kanzawa has since been featured on television shows and news channels throughout the world: at one point even becoming a "Stan Lee's Superhuman" when featured on the History Channel. Traveling through Japan, Russia, and even Africa, Kanzawa writes about his experiences with each of the animals he encounters. However, at the heart of the seemingly miraculous is not magic, but a greater understanding. Tadashi does not claim to be unique and is instead on a greater mission to use what he has learned to help awaken the healing nervous system in others to promote health and eliminate sickness in the aging societies of the modern world. Similar to how he relaxes animals from a distance, Tadashi explains that through the study of Kiryo, one's nervous system can be further vitali...

Der jüdische Journalist Hermann Samter lebte in Berlin und war bis zu seiner Deportation nach Auschwitz im Jahre 1943 wo er und seine Frau Lilli ermordet wurden - für das »Jüdische Nachrichtenblatt« tätig. In dieser Funktion dürfte er zu den bestinformierten Berliner Juden gezählt haben. Seine überlieferten Briefe sind ein beeindruckendes alltagsgeschichtliches Zeugnis; da sie zumeist durch private Boten übermittelt wurden, sind sie von zensurbedingten Verstümmelungen weitgehend frei. Samter berichtet in seinen Briefen, die überwiegend an eine im thüringischen Eichsfeld lebende ehemalige Hausangestellte und seine in London lebende Schwester gerichtet sind, von den alltäglichen Repressionen, von der stets allgegenwärtigen Gefahr der Deportation in den Osten und von seiner persönlichen Einschätzung der Gefährlichkeit der Lage: »Macht Euch keine Sorgen um uns. Denn erstens hilft es nichts, und zweitens tun wir es auch nicht. Vielleicht kommen schwere Zeiten, aber auch die werden überst...
