80th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation Marked by the Release of ‘Kalman & Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz,’ told in their own words

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Jan. 20, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — On January 27, 2025, the world will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. On this historic day, author Richard K. Lowy launches ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” (ISBN: 978-1779410092), a powerful firsthand account of resilience and survival in the face of unimaginable evil, released by Tellwell Publishing.

BOOK: Kalman and Leopold by Richard K. Lowy
Image caption: ”Kalman and Leopold – Surviving Mengele’s Auschwitz” by Richard K. Lowy.

This extraordinary book tells the true story of two young boys—Leopold, the author’s father, and his friend Kalman—both twins from separate families, who were brought together in Auschwitz and became victims of Dr. Josef Mengele’s brutal experiments. Separated from their twin sisters, the boys endured harrowing conditions in “Mengele’s Zoo” and witnessed the inner workings of the camp’s hospital barracks and SS guard shack. Their bond and courage helped them survive the horrors that claimed millions.

For six and a half months, Leopold became Kalman’s protector, guiding him through the horrors of the guard shack with his sharp wit and unwavering courage. When the Russian Army liberated Auschwitz in January 1945, the boys were separated and presumed each other dead. For 56 years, Kalman searched for “his Lipa,” the boy who protected him.

Why This Story Matters

Eighty years after the liberation of Auschwitz, Holocaust survivors’ voices are fading. Kalman and Leopold preserves an unparalleled perspective, offering firsthand insights into Mengele’s experiments and the unique experiences of twin children imprisoned in Auschwitz. The book highlights not just the atrocities but also the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.

A Timely Call to Action

As antisemitism and Holocaust denial rise globally, Kalman and Leopold serves as both a warning and a call to preserve history. This anniversary is not just a remembrance—it is a demand to confront hatred, uphold the truth, and educate future generations.

Events Honoring the Release

On January 27, commemorative events and discussions will take place worldwide to honor this milestone. The release of Kalman and Leopold will be central to these efforts, offering a deeply personal narrative that connects history to the ongoing fight against prejudice and oppression.

Praise for “Kalman & Leopold”

“Lowy’s narrative technique immerses readers in the lived experiences of his subjects, making their pain, resilience, and humanity palpable in ways that transcend traditional historical documentation.” – K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite

About the Author:

Richard K. Lowy, the son of Leopold, is an internationally acclaimed producer and creative director whose work has spanned collaborations with legendary artists and world leaders. His passion for preserving his father’s history led him to create Leo’s Journey: The Story of the Mengele Twins, a documentary narrated by EGOT-winning actor Christopher Plummer. (leosjourney.com) Lowy’s dedication to honoring the voices of Holocaust survivors culminates in this deeply personal and historically significant book.

BOOK: CHASING SHADOWS by Lauren GouinImage caption: “Chasing Shadows” by author Lauren Gouin.

“Chasing Shadows” presents the story of a woman navigating life on autopilot. When the stability she once knew is shattered by an unclear diagnosis and the COVID-19 pandemic, she is forced to embark on an inward journey, exploring the uncharted territories of her mind and heart. On each vulnerable page, she grapples with the question of who she truly is and what she most desires.

Through Lauren’s evocative verses, “Chasing Shadows” delves into themes of love, loss, identity, and resilience. Her poetry doesn’t just tell a story – it evokes a feeling, a memory, a shared experience that makes you feel seen and understood. Whether she’s writing about love, heartbreak, trauma, or healing, her words carry a weight that is both personal and universal.

With its clear language and lack of capitalization, Lauren’s minimalist style strips away the unnecessary. This simplicity is powerful, allowing the emotions behind the words to shine through without distraction. Her poetry delivers powerful messages of heartache and healing in their most distilled form.

Journey through love, loss, and healing, and purchase your copy of “Chasing Shadows” today.

About the Author:

After achieving a bachelor’s degree in history from Queen’s University, Lauren Gouin spent her twenties travelling and living in various countries, on various continents. She lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for one year and then moved to London, England for three to work in digital marketing.

At the age of 27, her life took an unexpected turn when a mysterious, acute illness forced her to move home. Left with an unclear diagnosis, half a year’s recovery, and total uncertainty, she re-evaluated her life’s direction. The road to a more creative career path became a source of healing as she enrolled in Vancouver Film School’s screenwriting program, a space to explore her love for the vibrational capacity of story. Her journey as a poet was born shortly after her graduation.

She is now a writer/director for TV and film, a script editor, and a story consultant, but really, she is an artist of all sorts with a constant desire to put ideas on a page. Communication is her love language and these are her letters to those out there who, like her, feel drawn to the rhythmic beauty of words.

“Chasing Shadows” is now out through Tellwell Publishing (RRP $8.60) and available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo and more.

Author Brian D. McLean Releases New Book ‘Our Global Crisis,’ a Timely Examination of Climate Change and Societal Collapse

VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada, Oct. 29, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Brian D. McLean, a passionate conservationist and environmentalist, announced the release of his book, “Our Global Crisis” (ISBN: 978-0993607226; Tellwell), an urgent and insightful exploration of the environmental challenges facing humanity today.

Our Global Crisis by Author Brian D. McLean
Image caption: “Our Global Crisis” by Author Brian D. McLean.

As global temperatures rise, natural disasters intensify, and ecosystems degrade, McLean draws comparisons between modern society and the collapse of past civilizations such as the Incas, the Mayans, and the Rapanui of Easter Island. He warns that, without immediate action, we may be headed toward a similar fate.

“Our Global Crisis” takes readers on a journey through the environmental and societal patterns that have led to the downfall of great civilizations. It explores how climate change, rampant consumerism, and humanity’s ongoing exploitation of the planet are pushing us closer to a tipping point.

“Our thirst for consumer goods and other conveniences of life has grown at an alarming and disproportionate rate compared with our needs. This has put an enormous strain on our ability to locate and extract the natural resources of our planet,” writes McLean. He challenges readers to reconsider their impact on the planet, and offers practical solutions for adapting to the realities of climate change.

“The time for action is now,” McLean states. “Humanity’s ongoing exploitation of Earth has created problems that can no longer be ignored. If Earth and Life are to survive, each of us will need to make sacrifices. It is time to adapt. It is time for us to evolve.”

With 22 years of meticulous research, “Our Global Crisis” not only examines the factors contributing to environmental destruction but also presents a clear path toward sustainability. The final chapter provides actionable steps to avert catastrophe, from rethinking energy consumption to fostering a global commitment to conservation.

About the Author:

Brian D. McLean is a former Medical Laboratory Technologist and Information Systems Specialist who turned his passion for the outdoors into a new career focused on environmental conservation. Over the past two decades, he has worked to restore riparian and temperate forest ecosystems affected by clearcut forestry practices. A keen observer of human nature and a devoted environmentalist, McLean has spent the last 22 years compiling and crafting “Our Global Crisis”. When he isn’t working on environmental restoration, McLean enjoys stargazing and astrophotography.

New ‘Peon’ Device Makes Water from Thin Air; Feeding Plants in an Innovative New Conservation Effort

Peon frog

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 10, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- While Peon may look like an inconspicuous little plastic frog, he is about to make a vital contribution to global conservation efforts, by watering plants using water - well - out of thin air. It's all thanks to Canada's Waterator Industries Inc., who are pioneering a new use for Atmospheric Water Generation. With less than 3 percent of the world's water being drinkable, the device will save the precious stuff coming out of taps from being used for a non-consumable purpose.

To get Peon on the market and ribbiting its way around the world, Waterator Industries Inc. is currently raising vital funds through Kickstarter.

"With so little of the world's water being drinkable, it makes sense for us to conserve as much of it as we can for human consumption. Each year, billions of gallons of drinking water are thrown onto plants. This 'human water' not only shortens the lifespan of plants, but it leaves less of it for us," explains John Heary, CEO of Waterator Industries Inc. "Water particles in the air are instantly replenished through a number of natural processes, so it makes sense for us to develop a device that can water plants through humidity. This water is 100 percent natural and can keep plants alive for five to ten years."

Operating Peon is as simple as plugging him into the wall, inserting his "soil stake" into a potted plant and sitting back in the knowledge that the world's ultimately-scarce supplies of clean drinking water are being put to better use.

"Innovation aside for moment, Peon can make life a whole lot easier. There's no longer a need to worry about watering plants while on vacation, with The Peons three water settings, it allows the perfect trickle of water for any particular plant type. The electricity costs are just a fraction, per liter, of paying for water from the grid and users can literally set-and-forget their plants as they last many lifetimes longer than hand-watering from the tap," Heary adds.

Waterator Industries Inc. needs to raise $250,000 over the next month to keep the project alive. Those backing its Kickstarter campaign will be treated to a host of rewards ranging from their name on the company's website through to branded T-shirts, hats and Peons in a host of different colors.

This is just the start of things for the company, who plan to offer Peons in a range of sizes, shapes and designs, as well as adapt their Atmospheric Water Generation technology to other uses that support the conversation of clean drinking water.

Peon will eventually retail for $29.95 + shipping and handling. However, those backing the Kickstarter campaign can get hold of theirs before anyone else.

About Waterator Industries:

Waterator Industries is a small company and outsources most of its needs to various companies to help keep internal costs low, as well as to be able to improve their manufacturing capabilities at a moment's notice. This allows them to put most of the funds received directly into building inventory as well as creating new products.

The company and their products were created during a time when the economy was in decline and money for new projects was limited. Never giving up hope, they moved forward funding it completely out of their own pockets, knowing the end goal was worth it. With personal funds expended, they are now reaching out to the public to help complete the dream. Website: http://www.waterator.com/ .
