FictionNovember 2015El plan Bérkowitz
by Mario J. Les
The autumn of 2001 has barely begun. An elderly prisoner wakes up in his cell like every morning since an eternity. Tired of the endless confinement, he awaits for his own death as the only way out from the nightmare that haunts him. During the summer of that same year, three young men, partners in a modest audiovisual company, are hired by an eccentric millionaire to make some nature documentaries in Kenya. Excited, they face the opportunity of their lives: a dream job and the possibility of refloating his battered economy. However, they will soon discover that not all that glitters around their patron is gold. In the troubled Germany of 1938, Eyal Bérkowitz was one among hundred Jewish prisoners who were transferred from the Dachau concentration camp to the newly opened Flossenbürg. There they will work from sunrise to sunset in the neighboring quarry, extracting the granite necessary for the constructions that Albert Speer has designed for Hitler's imperialist Germany. The Jewish group, with Bérkowitz leading, will suffer in their flesh the abuse of power by the head of their barracks, Ludwig von Häussler, captain of the SS. With the background of World War II, the attack on Reinhard Heydrich and Operation Valkyrie, Eyal Bérkowitz will devise a risky plan that can save his own life ... and mortgage that of others. * * * Apenas comenzado el otoño de 2001, un anciano prisionero despierta en su celda como cada mañana desde hace una eternidad. Hastiado de ese interminable encierro, aguarda su propia muerte como única salida a la pesadilla que le atormenta. Durante el verano de ese mismo año, tres jóvenes, socios de una modesta empresa audiovisual, son contratados por un excéntrico millonario para realizar unos documentales de naturaleza en Kenia. Entusiasmados, se ven ante la oportunidad de sus vidas; un trabajo soñado y la posibilidad de reflotar su maltrecha economía. Sin embargo, pronto descubrirán que no es oro todo lo que reluce en torno a su mecenas. En la convulsa Alemania de 1938, Eyal Bérkowitz forma parte del centenar de presos judíos que son trasladados del campo de concentración de Dachau al recién inaugurado Flossenbürg. Allí trabajarán de sol a sol en la cantera vecina extrayendo el granito necesario para las construcciones que Albert Speer ha proyectado para la Alemania imperialista de Hitler. El grupo judío, con Bérkowitz a la cabeza, sufrirá en sus carnes el abuso de poder por parte del jefe de su barracón, Ludwig von Häussler, capitán de las SS. Con el trasfondo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el atentado contra Reinhard Heydrich y la Operación Valkiria, Eyal Bérkowitz ideará un arriesgado plan que puede salvar su propia vida… e hipotecar la de otros.

March 2023The Princess of Buchenwald
Mafalda of Savoy's Forgotten Story
by Ana Andreu Baquero
An Italian princess who went from spending her life in the most lavish palaces to being interned in a Nazi concentration camp, and was almost written out of the history books: Mafalda of Savoy. Weimar, 1945. Just after the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp, seven men from the Italian Royal Navy enter the cemetery of the German city and head to a grim section covered with numbered stakes. Once there, they seek out the stake that has demanded hard work and good luck, in equal measure, to locate: number 262 where, according to the register, lie the remains of an unbekannte Frau (‘unknown woman’). When they pull out the stake, they see a previously hidden name that confirms the great significance of their mission. They substitute the simple stake with a stone and wooden cross made of beech obtained through bartering during those early days of peace. The tomb is now complete, and that somber number has been converted into a name of noble lineage and carved with care: Mafalda of Savoy.
