A biography of the Jewish Italian industrialist Federico Jarach (Torino, 1874 - Milano, 1951). He was the owner of a large metal factory in Milano and held high positions in the northern Italian federations of industry. In his military service in the navy, he achieved the rank of Corvette captain (equivalent to Lieutenant Commander). In 1931 he became the president of the Jewish Community of Milano, and in 1937, the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities. He established committees to aid Jewish refugees from Germany, and later to assist all the Jews in Italy. As a result of the Racial Laws in 1938, and although he was a member of the Partito Nazionale Fascista from 1926, he lost all his positions - in industry, the navy, and the party. Because he was a Jew, he was forced to sell his factory. He then founded a college for 400 Jewish students who were expelled from the University of Milano. With the start of the bombardment of Milano in 1941, he and his family (his wife and four children) moved to their villa on Lake Maggiore. In 1943, a Nazi division arrived at the spot. Jarach and his family managed to escape to the Swiss side of the lake. All the Jews captured by those Nazis were executed and their corpses were dumped in the lake. After a short stay in Switzerland, Jarach returned to Italy, to Rome, where he lived and was active under a false identity until the end of the war. Returning to Milano after the war, he resumed his duties at the Federation of Industry and in the Jewish Community. He tried, by all legal means, to regain his factory, to no avail.

L'amore e la morte sono i temi di questo racconto-testimonianza scritto da un credente, ammalato di Aids. La testimonianza di un uomo che sa di dover morire, ma che chiede di vivere normalmente fino a quando gli sarà consentito, senza essere colpevolizzato, spiato, emarginato. Di un uomo che è cosciente delle proprie responsabilità nei confronti di un possibile contagio e che, proprio partendo da questa consapevolezza, vuole credere che sia possibile ancora incontrare una persona e dargli una mano, lavorare, frequentare gli altri.

Die römischen Katakomben können ohne Übertreibung als einer der beeindruckendsten, aussagekräftigsten und besterhaltenen Komplexe der gesamten antiken Welt bezeichnet werden. Mit diesem Buch liegt nunmehr eine umfassende Publikation zu den christlichen Katakomben Roms in fünf Sprachen vor, die die aktuellen Ergebnisse der internationalen Katakombenforschung anschaulich und umfassend dokumentiert darlegt. Drei ausgewiesene Experten, seit Jahrzehnten als Professoren an römischen Universitäten mit der Materie vertraut, befassen sich mit allen relevanten Fragen zu Topographie, Ikonographie und Epigraphik der Katakomben: Vincenzo Fiocchi Nicolai erörtert Ursprung und Entwicklung der Katakombenanlagen von ihrer Entstehung in severischer Zeit bis zu Aufgabe und Verfall im frühen Mittelalter. Von Fabrizio Bisconti stammen die Ausführungen zur prachtvollen Ausmalung der Katakomben, wobei besonders die heidnischen und christlichen Bildthemen und ihre wechselseitige Beeinflussung zur Sprache kommen. Danilo Mazzoleni befasst sich anhand ausgewählter Beispiele mit dem Inhalt der Grabinschriften, wobei er spannende Aufschlüsse zum Alltag der frühen Christen gewinnt, die den Leser durch ihre Unmittelbarkeit und zeitlose Lebensnähe in ihren Bann ziehen.
