A beautiful, moving detective story set in Auschwitz in the
Christmas of 1943. A young Jewish prisoner... Auschwitz, 1943. It's
snowing outside and Block 10 looks even bleaker than usual. Gioele
Errera, a young Jewish boy imprisoned in the camp, finds the body
of an SS officer. A detective with everything to prove... Hugo
Fischer is sent to investigate the unexplained death of the
renowned Nazi. But Hugo is hiding a secret - he is suffering from a
degenerative disease. The only way for him to survive is to give
his support to the Reich and hide his condition. A confrontation
with pure evil... In Auschwitz, Hugo comes face to face not only
with a complex murder, but with a truth - that of the Final
Solution. And he is forced to decide what is most important to him
- and who, if anyone, he should try to save...
'The Exile Breed' is a story of the Irish Famine in Ireland,
Canada, England and the USA.The Famine intensified in 1847. Many
left, but hunger and fever followed them. Thousands died in the
Irish ghettoes of Liverpool, Manchester and London. Many more died
in the ships on the Atlantic, in the emigrant hospitals of Quebec
and Montreal, in the forests and along the back-roads of Canada,
and in the slums of New York and other American cities. Those who
survived went on to build new lives in the lands of the Irish
Diaspora.
