  When Hassan Torabi arrived in Denmark as a refugee from Iran, he quickly became the big hope of the local wrestling club. When he participated in the first Danish reality TV show, the Danish version of “Survivor”, he became known throughout the country as the warm and helpful man who had taken a photo of his Indian guru with him on the island. And when the national TV channel DR2 broadcast the documentary “Hassan’s Hands”, he became known as the man who could give ill people new hope. 
  Now he is sharing the story about his life. About being a quiet and introverted child growing up in a country with revolution and executions. About the escape and meeting the Danes’ skeptical attitude to a man with dark hair and an accent. And about working with some of the biggest sports stars in the world, and a journey to India that changed his life. 
  ”Never Give Up – The Story Of Hassan Torabi” is also a series of portraits of the people who have experienced first-hand how Hassan has played a defining role in their lives and inspired hope when nobody else could.

  Osage Indian Murders The: The...

  In the late 19th century, Indian Territory became part of the new State of Oklahoma and tribal lands were gradually reduced in size, but on some of the lands assigned to the Osage, which became Osage County, something very dramatic happened: oil was discovered. At first, that didn’t seem too important - in the 1880s, oil was useful but wasn’t the source of wealth it would later become. However, the rise of the automobile changed everything. In 1900, there were only around 4,000 automobiles registered in America, but by 1908, there were over 60,000, and by the early 1920s, there were over 15 million. Every single one needed fuel and lubricants that came from oil, and as a result, “black gold” became one of the most valuable commodities on Earth.  
  	For the Osage, the explosion in demand for oil brought unimaginable wealth. In 1923 alone, the Osage Nation received over $30 million in oil revenue, worth over $400 million in current value, and individual members of the tribe became extremely wealthy. Unscrupulous people began to plot how they could get their hands on some of this wealth.  
  	Then the murders began. 
  	In the early 1920s, members of the Osage Nation and others began to turn up dead, and in many cases, the proceeds of oil revenue owned by these people passed to white “Guardians” appointed by the federal government. By 1925, at least 24 Osage had died in unexplained circumstances, and some accounts suggest that the actual number may have been over 100. Local law enforcement seemed unable (or perhaps unwilling) to investigate effectively, and it was left to a small bureau in Washington to undertake their first homicide investigation under the leadership of a dynamic and ambitious young lawyer named J. Edgar Hoover. As a result, the horrifying true story of the Osage County murders became one of the first assignments for the federal agency that would later become the FBI.

  ‘From War to Eternity’ traces an extraordinary family story shaped by the forces of war, migration, and the enduring quest for identity. Sydney Doulames brings to life the journeys of her parents Anneliese, who came of age amid the ruins of postwar Germany, and Eduardo, who navigated the turbulence of wartime Philippines with determination and grace. Their separate struggles to survive hardship and loss ultimately led them across continents to find each other, forging an unlikely bond that would define generations. From the hunger and fear of a bombed-out German village to the crowded hospitals of the Pacific theater, this book illuminates how ordinary people rise to meet unthinkable challenges. When Anneliese and Eduardo build a life together, first in Guam and later in California, their marriage is tested by the scars of the past and the strains of cultural divides. Even as they face heartbreak and upheaval, their story reveals an unshakable devotion to family. With honesty and tender reflection, Sydney Doulames explores themes of love, belonging, and the ways our origins shape us. ‘From War to Eternity’ is both a tribute to her parents’ courage and a reminder that even the most fragmented histories can be outgrown into something lasting and meaningful.
