Nearly ninety percent of Greek Jews perished during the Holocaust. Most were killed at Auschwitz/Birkenau. But on the Ionian island of Zakynthos, the entire Greek Jewish community was saved from annihilation. The German commander on Zakynthos, Alfredo Litt, a vile, treacherous man, ordered the island’s Bishop Chrysostomos and Mayor Loukas Carrer to prepare a list of all the Jews on the island. He gave them 72 hours to deliver the list. What happened next was a series of remarkable and historic acts of human courage, compassion and cunning. The story illuminates the humanity of a people who risked their lives to save their neighbors. It documents many of the horrors and atrocities during the occupation in Greece and then takes the reader on a journey high into the remote mountain villages of Zakynthos where Greek Christians hid their Jewish neighbors to protect them from certain death. It recounts the many acts of human kindness and compassion, large and small, that restored faith in mankind and renewed hope for survival.

Poetry

"The Dancer in the Heart" is a collection of poems with painted illustrations by the author.  Stephen Abhaya says, in the introduction to "The Dancer in the Heart", "Whenever I fell in love, I thought the inspiration for any love poem was the specific woman involved. I began to notice that the poems were not dependent on a Her, or a She, as the source of the love.  I discovered love to be the essence of my own nature, to be the supreme reality. I love, whether a She is there or not, or even when my affections are not returned in kind.  Four relationships and the love poems they engendered over many years are each represented by a different section of this book. Throughout, my attention progressed from relating to a woman as the object of my love, to knowing the source of it.  The relationships may have been inconstant, love itself has not been. As neither source nor object, the She, the You, the Her, that the poem is seemingly about, is both part of, and the same as, the eternal source of love, whether we call it 'God' or 'the other', and as such is inclusive of all.
