An Unbreakable Bond - The Târgu Mureș Holocaust Survivors and their Scottish Saviours

Sharon Mail

Sinossi

In the Jewish community of Târgu Mureș, Transylvania, Holocaust concentration and labour camp survivors struggle with the weight of their tragic past. Having endured unspeakable horrors, these men and women live in isolation, many haunted by both Nazi and Communist repression.

While resources run thin, their wise leaders fight to preserve their spirit. Then in 1999 two strangers from Scotland arrive, and a spark of hope begins to flicker. This transformative encounter, led by Jewish community member Ethne Woldman, marked the beginning of a remarkable bond of friendship and love.

Teaming up with ophthalmologist Colin Black and businessman David Bishop, a trust is established in Glasgow, committed to the long-term support of the Holocaust survivors in Târgu Mureș. They arrive four times a year, often accompanied by other well-wishers and professionals, to develop a programme to enhance the quality of life for these warm, dignified survivors in Transylvania. They vow to provide medicines, hearing aids, glasses, home care and companionship for each and every survivor for their remaining years.

This is the heartwarming story of how the lives of a small, impoverished community were transformed through the support and love of their Scottish saviours. Through intimate case studies and individual stories, Sharon Mail's AN UNBREAKABLE BOND delves into the lives changed forever following a chance encounter.

“This is a story of despair and hope; despair at the plight of an abandoned group of Holocaust survivors and the hope provided by a small band of determined Glaswegian Jews. It is important that Sharon Mail has recorded this story for future generations. No other cause has ever motivated me to walk barefoot over hot coals. But the Targu Mures Trust did just that to help raise funds for these Holocaust survivors in Romania.” - The Right Honourable Jim Murphy, former Secretary of State for Scotland and supporter of the Targu Mures Trust

The FSU Scroll - Field Notes...

Anonimo

Not a memoir, not a manual, not history, and not fiction: this is a scroll. A lived document that uncoils across frostbitten steppe and borderland camps, where drills turn, deals twist, and dignity is held together with duct tape and vodka-stained humor. 
From Ukraine to Sakhalin, from mud-choked rigs to government saunas, these field-earned ledgers reveal how people survive, adapt, and build in places where permits arrive after the pipelines are already pumping. Some of it reads like farce, some like heartbreak, much like both at once. 
A generator resurrected with foil and candlelight becomes a choir, a pickup patched with tape and faith passes inspection, and a nation under strain shows a resilience that still shakes the world today. 
This is not a sober account, but it is an honest one: a record of compromises, improvisations, and grit at the edge of empire, remembering what the spreadsheets never could.

Good Judgment - Making Better...

Richard Davis

An instant USA Today bestseller • A Globe and Mail Top 10 Business and Management Book of 2024
From an experienced organizational psychologist comes a unique guide to learning how to better read and understand people and make improved, more informed business decisions about them—including choosing the right employees, fostering relationships in the workplace, resolving conflicts more effectively, and optimizing your performance on the job—using the science of personality.
Psychologists widely agree that five key traits define our personalities—intellect, emotionality, sociability, drive, and diligence. Unlike emotions, which are transitory in nature, these traits determine our behaviors, including our motivations, social inclinations, reactions to crisis or complexity, patterns of thinking, and more.
Organizational psychologist Dr. Richard Davis is an expert in assessing personalities. He has spent decades advising business leaders and evaluating executives from some of the world’s biggest companies, including Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Under Armour, Meta, Starbucks, Nike, LVMH, and the NBA. Over the course of his career, he has helped numerous executives make tough, highly consequential hiring calls based on personality. A company’s board might want its next CEO to be decisive, focused, and a strong communicator. Investors backing a start-up might want a leader who is not only a visionary but also a team player who doesn’t retaliate when given constructive feedback. That’s where he comes in. As a result of his life’s work, Dr. Davis has developed not only a unique perspective on what human personality is, but an indispensable toolkit for analyzing it, and using the information effectively.
In Good Judgment, he brings his expertise to you. Dr. Davis explains what the science of personality is and how it works, and how all of us can use it to improve our working relationships, careers, and lives. Whether you’re a novice manager looking to hire your first assistant, a board member in need of the ideal CEO, an angel investor trying to choose between two different startups, or a new parent selecting a pediatrician, understanding the science of personality and how to utilize it is the key to exercising good judgment—at work and in life.
