<span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: large;">In today's world, many people seek
different or better working conditions, safety from terrible conditions, and/or
a better life for their children. They begin to look at the world around them
and wonder if there is another country that might better serve them.<br />
<br />
In doing so, they need to take into consideration whether they quality for
entry into that country. There's language, age, working qualifications, and a
myriad of minefields to negotiate.<br />
<br />
This book gives the chief requirements needed for immigration<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> to English speaking countries, plus
other countries which are easy to immigrate to, as well as countries where
English is spoken (even if it is not the first language). It also gives an
overview of the language and terms used in immigration and what the universal
basics of immigration are.<br />
<br />
It includes weblinks to sites that will give detaled information and leading
expat forums. It's a quick and easy to read ebook and by the time the reader
has read it, s/he should have some idea of what the possibilities are.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">Memoirs of a Jewish Journalist in Nazi
Germany by W.L. Schlesinger</span></strong><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">My late father wrote this on the 50th
anniversary of the Brown Shirts kicking all Jews out of Political and Judicial
service in Germany. I truly believe it is a story that deserves to be read over
and over again - not because it talks about the holocaust, but because, it
doesn't. It's a story that gets repeated over and over again. Even now, we live
in a time when, more and more, the powers that be have powers over us...</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9gbNAvwx-gE/UFiWKbGITJI/AAAAAAAABoI/WfgveLQlyl0/s1600/Capture.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9gbNAvwx-gE/UFiWKbGITJI/AAAAAAAABoI/WfgveLQlyl0/s320/Capture.JPG" width="210" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">In Apri, 1933, Werner Ludwig Schlesinger
was on his way to work at the German Appeal Court when a band of Brownshirts
approached him and asked whether he was Jewish. Upon admission of his
ethnicity, he ‘collected the hiding of his life’ and was forbidden further work
at the German courts.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
As he had both a law degree and a journalism degree, he was able to find work
at a Jewish newspaper. His next three years were spent, amongst other things,
covering Jewish events, witnessing the birth of rockets and television, and
Einstein’s farewell speech at the Westend Synagogue in the
Princzregentenstrase.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
As one of only three Jews in Berlin with the requisite journalism degree, he
was responsible for signing off on the copy of other Jewish Journalists in the city.
Often this was dangerous work. If he did not read the copy too carefully, and
something that offended the Nazis slipped through, his life would be forfeited.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
In 1936, while on holiday in Switzerland, he received a telegram from his
mother not to return. As he had been expecting a visit from the Gestapo, he
made his way to South Africa. This is the story of those long three years.</span><br />

Opening oneself up and making one's interior life so visible and vulnerable to criticism takes enormous valor; yet that is precisely what Schlesinger does in this unveiling of herself so that others may benefit from what she learned along her journey of self-control and increasing self-mastery.</span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Each one of us is unique. Schlesinger's story differs from mine, just as it differs from yours. Yet the fact that my and your struggles might vary from hers does not imply that you and I have no struggles, no equally imperious demons holding dominion over us, limiting us and, in ways great and small, making each of us our own worst enemy, preventing the better angels of our nature from being given expression.</span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Recognizing that a change in her dreams often signaled a profound transformation in her understanding of herself and of the world, she developed a technique whereby she enabled herself to exert some degree of control over her nocturnal reveries and, by doing so, effect rapid, profound and lasting changes in her life. And it is this technique that she so generously shares with the world in his tiny booklet that took me less than an hour to read.</span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Because Schlesinger is not a mental health professional, nor pretends to be one, it is likely that what she wrote will be ignored and, if read, dismissed categorically by the experts in the mental health establishment. I hope that some brave soul in the profession will hazard his or her reputation amongst his or her peers, read this book and take its hypothesis and methodology seriously enough to initiate the studies required to make this part of the standard repertory of treatment, for what Schlesinger discovered through self-analysis and self-treatment seems not only useful but, in my untutored opinion, more likely to be effective for more people than the current standards of cognitive therapy, psychoanalysis or pharmaceutical intervention.</span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But this book wasn't written for professionals; instead its target audience consists of people seeking to change themselves in some way. You and I don't need the permission of a therapist to go ahead and give these methods a try. Each one of us is different, and what works for you may not work for me. But Schlesinger has given us an important new tool to wield in the fine art of becoming myself. It is well worth the investment of three bucks to find out whether this tool may be useful to you.</span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One final note: in the spirit of self-disclosure, Schlesinger was one of the first people I met when Google+ opened its portal. From my correspondence with her I know how sensitive she is to criticism, and how much courage it takes for her to put herself at risk in this way. If nothing else, she has set herself as an example that it is possible to overcome one's own deepest fears.</span></span></b><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Tokoloshe is a story about a little man with an extra long appendage and he walks around looking to cause trouble for other people - so say the Xhosa people of South Africa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had a different thought. Perhaps, Mr. Tokoloshe was just a frustrated little man with an appendage too big to fit the necessary receptacle. And, perhaps, if Mr. Tokoloshe could resolve the issue, things would end happily.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A little bit of fun fantasy - never crude or rude, lighthearted and humorous and great fun to read with friends!</span><br />

Mingling metaphysics with humor, romance, and drama is a difficult feat and she pulled it off. I definitely recommend this book. If I would compare (if you will) this book trumps "The Alchemist" in the profound lessons of human nature that it teaches. It was an excellent read and brought out many emotions within me. That's what good books do.</span><br />

The reunion committee included it in the "front matter" of the booklet they issued to everyone, and I read it Saturday evening during the "program," to a very warm reception. Thanks again! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tessa placed so much symbolism and the true heart of a woman in this book. Mingling metaphysics with humor, romance, and drama is a difficult feat and she pulled it off. I definitely recommend this book. If I would compare (if you will) this book trumps "The Alchemist" in the profound lessons of human nature that it teaches. It was an excellent read and brought out many emotions within me. That's what good books do.</span><br />
