96 TEARS


Book Description

96 TEARS is tribute to the human spirit. When all seems bleak and the mind sinks to lows it thinks impossible to handle, the heart and soul remain the substance of true character. Being destitute broke, down-and-out; having near-death experiences; and having been used and abused would lead many to give up. It is only after such experiences do the magical, mystical forces of faith come into play. Faith is the driving force that lifts us up from the depths of our darkest despair. This is a story of never-ending perseverance, the song the heart and soul sing to never, ever give up!




Dora's Story


Book Description

“An interesting story set in interesting times, a powerful combination.” Julian Fellowes This is an extraordinary account of a young Jewish girl whose childhood was torn apart by the Nazis, who made her way as a dancer, as an actress, as a designer, from Sofia to Vienna to London to Hollywood. Dora Reisser was highly successful in her three careers, and here she tells her heartrending, exciting story with humour and honesty – the little-known story of how Bulgaria’s Jews survived the Holocaust, her life in post-war Vienna, and her rise to become one of the leading dancers in the Vienna Opera. A refugee from the Nazi regime as a child, Dora trained and danced with the Vienna Opera as their youngest solo dancer until an accidental fall in her late teens ended her dancing career. She then moved to London and studied theatre at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. After a career on British television, in a few Hollywood films and on the stage, she gave up her acting career to raise a family and, beginning in the 1980s, she became one of Britain’s leading fashion designers. Dora went from wealth to poverty, heartbreak and danger, and bounced back again and again, with all the vigour and determination of a Jewish Scarlett O’Hara. She knew the world of Harry Lime and Bernie Cornfeld, the KGB and the early days of Israel, and had lovers along the way. She uniquely describes the hard and painful world of ballet, the exaltation of success, and the despair of a career tragically curtailed. We sometimes forget about the generation whose parents’ lives were destroyed by Hitler and who had to reconstruct their souls amid the rubble and ruins that were all that was left of Old Europe. Dora’s Story is a tale of triumph over every possible adversity, a story of terror and hunger and persistence. Above all, it is the tale of a survivor. “The most moving and straightforward self-appraisal I have ever read.” Robert Hardy “A marvellous book.” Michael Billington, The Guardian
