War Stories

Marc J. Seifer

From WWII to the Present

Dear Book Review Editor,

I’m writing to share a new anthology that grew out of one extraordinary discovery.

 
In 2011, my Aunt Lucille Adler passed away. At her funeral, among family and friends was Helena Weinrauch, a Holocaust survivor who I knew through my aunt. A decade later, while cleaning my office, I came across a manuscript titled “The Will to Live.” I had no memory of receiving it. However, upon reflection, since my brother Bruce Seifer took Helena back to her apartment on the upper westside of NYC, she obviously gave him a copy, he reproduced it and gave one to me. I simply tucked it away and forgot about it. But as I sat down to read it ten years later, I realized I was holding an extraordinary account Helena wrote in 1945, immediately after awakening from a coma in Sweden. Her full, unflinching memoir was so excruciatingly riveting that it took me three sittings to go through the entire manuscript. It was that heavy.
 
At the same time, I had in my possession memoirs written by others close to my family— my father, a Navy veteran of WWII, and Harry Adler, who escaped occupied France with his mother and father, made their way to Casablanca, then on to Lisbon and to the USA, where he graduated high school, joined the army and then landed in Normandy and crossed Europe as a Jewish GI and translator able to speak German, Polish, French and English. Harry’s wife, Ella Adler whose number on her arm I remembered seeing as a teenager, was also a survivor of the camps, and she too had written her own devastating testimony.
 
On a whim, I looked up Helena’s phone number and found, to my pleasant surprise that, at age 96 she knew who I was and gave me permission to publish her story as long as I promised not to change a word.
 
The convergence of these voices—survivor, soldier, witness, and descendants—led to the creation of WAR STORIES: From WWII to the Present, a carefully edited collection of firsthand accounts from Auschwitz to Vietnam to the Ebola wards of West Africa. The book includes contributions from bestselling author Nelson DeMille, who allowed me to reprint a deeply reflective Vietnam chapter from his book Up Country, moving intergenerational reflections from the children of WWII veterans, and features an introduction by Tim Gray, five-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and founder of The World War II Museum located here in Wakefield, RI.
 

This landmark anthology gathers firsthand accounts and rare reflections from soldiers, survivors, a novelist, and witnesses whose lives were forever changed by war. It is especially suited for review in outlets that appreciate historical testimony, military history, personal accounts of enduring the unimaginable during the Holocaust, and works that examine how trauma is carried and transformed across generations.

Ozone Therapy

Marc J. Seifer

One of our immune system’s key defenses is ozone,

an oxygen molecule (O3) naturally produced by our antibodies to fight germs, viruses, and other invaders. For more than a century, doctors have used ozone therapy to effectively and safely treat a wide variety of diseases, including Ebola, SARS, and, most recently, Covid-19.

Revealing ozone therapy’s enormous potential to bring health to millions, Marc J. Seifer, Ph.D., explores its science and history as well as its success in the treatment of viruses such as Covid-19, pneumonia, tuberculosis, Lyme disease, and the flu. He examines research performed by scientists and medical doctors going back more than 200 years that conclusively shows that ozone is a powerful disinfectant with antibacterial and antiviral properties. He shares articles from leading ozone therapy doctors and researchers, including Robert Rowen, M.D., and Howard Robins, D.P.M., who traveled to West Africa in 2014 to combat the Ebola outbreak with ozone therapy, Gerard Sunnen, M.D., who has been researching the beneficial effects of ozone therapy on coronaviruses and Juan Carlos Perez Olmedo, M.D., sho discusses his fight in Spain with factions of the medical community to successfully legally treat COVID patients who may have died without this medical procedure. Explaining how ozone therapy works, the author examines its therapeutic benefits, including how it inhibits inflammation, activates antioxidant defenses, and optimizes the ability of the body’s tissue to use oxygen. He also shares numerous case studies from more than a dozen doctors in six different countries to show how Covid-19 patients have been treated successfully with ozone therapy.

Unmasking the suppression of this revolutionary therapy by the FDA, Marc J. Seifer shows not only how ozone therapy is effective against current viruses such as Covid-19 and Ebola but also how it can help the immune system learn to protect itself against emerging future viruses

The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla

Marc J. Seifer

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), credited as the inspiration for radio, robots, and even radar, has been called the patron saint of modern electricity. Based on original material and previously unavailable documents, this acclaimed book is the definitive biography of the man considered by many to be the founding father of modern electrical technology. Among Tesla's creations were the channeling of alternating current, fluorescent and neon lighting, wireless telegraphy, and the giant turbines that harnessed the power of Niagara Falls.

The book, which has been translated into eight languages, is illustrated with sixteen pages of photographs, including the July 20, 1931, Time magazine cover for an issue celebrating the inventor's career.

Reviews

"Wizard brings the many complex facets of [Tesla's] personal and technical life together in to a cohesive whole.... I highly recommend this biography of a great technologist." --A.A. Mullin, U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command, COMPUTING REVIEWS

"Along with A Beautiful Mind] one of the five best biographies written on the brilliantly disturbed." --WALL STREET JOURNAL

Book cover featuring Nikola Tesla and Niagara Falls.

Nikola Tesla: The Man Who Harnessed Niagara Falls Interview by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Anthony Lenzo.

If you go to Goat Island at Niagara Falls, you will see a statue of Nikola Tesla inventor of the AC polyphase system,

the hydro-electric power system put in 100 years ago at Niagara Falls which is essentially unchanged today. I wrote this book to explain to young readers and adults alike Tesla's precise role in the development of this great invention. Before this invention, electrical energy could only be transported about one mile and then only for lighting homes. Afterwards, electricity could be transported hundreds of miles, and not just for lighting, but also for running household appliances and industrial machinery in factories. In addition, unlike the polluting coal operating electrical plants of that day, Tesla's invention was a clean energy creation using a renewable source of power. Before Tesla's creation, all major factories had to be located by rivers and powerful streams. Now they could be located everywhere. For these reasons, Tesla was honored by LIFE MAGAZINE by being listed as one of the 100 most important individuals of the last 1,000 years. Tesla received the Edison Medal in 1917, he was nominated for a Nobel Prize in the 1930's and he was further honored by the world when in 1956, the electrical unit the "tesla" was named after him. (MRI's measure in "tesla" units.) Thus he could stand beside such other electrical giants as Ampere, Watt and Volta. The end chapter contains an outline of my doctoral dissertation which was a treatise on why Tesla's name disappeared from the history books. THE MAN WHO HARNESSED NIAGARA FALLS is beautifully illustrated with numerous photographs and drawings from Tesla's heyday, the turn of the century, and it also contains a photograph of the Goat Island statue designed by sculptor Franko Krisnic which was given to the people of New York by the people of Yugoslavia in 1976. You've read about Harry Potter a fictitious wizard, now read about a real live WIZARD,Nikola Tesla!

Transcending the Speed of Light

Consciousness, Quantum Physics & the Fifth Dimension

Marc J. Seifer, Ph.D. © 2004

Inner Traditions

Testimonials

Transcending The Speed of Light is a bold new adventure into the exciting world of consciousness exploration. Just as he has done with his other books, Marc Seifer has made the difficult, easy to understand as he covers such broad topics as cosmological coincidences, new theories on gravity, hyperspace, and higher states of consciousness. Quite simply, I was overwhelmed by its scope as Marc takes the reader from theories on the birth of the cosmos to the structure of atoms, to mental states to ESP. This is the kind of book that covers difficult topics, yet does it in a personal way that captures not only some of the great thoughts of such thinkers as Einstein and Carl Jung, but also generates some fresh ideas on the link between thoughts, the physical universe and the speed of light. I highly recommend it!

Uri Geller, Paranormalist

This book by Marc Seifer is truly a tremendous work! It represents a remarkable effort accomplished in gathering an enormous amount of relevant material together and taking the reader through a lifetime of meticulous research! I know of no other book that does all of that so thoroughly, and I highly recommend this book to any and all readers who are seriously interested in the puzzling problem of the nature of mind and consciousness. I most enthusiastically endorse Marc's work and his epochal achievement, which will offer thoughts and areas of new thought to the reader for many decades to come.

Col. Tom Bearden (retired), Author of Excalibur Briefing

How is it possible for consciousness to exist in the physical universe? This is the classic mind-body problem that has eluded philosophers for many generations. Now, it appears that answers are within reach -- provided that one is willing to explore unorthodox approaches. This is exactly what author Marc Seifer has done. The depth of his scholarship and the clarity of his thinking make this book a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the frontiers of consciousness research.

Framed

Marc J. Seifer

with Stephen Rosati

Note: Mr. Rhode Island was the original title of FRAMED!

A True-Life Mystery

Courtroom Thriller

Sunday night, October 12, 1986. Drug dealer, Joe Viscido, is murdered in Florida. Four years later, Stephen Rosati, real estate developer, body building champion and former Florida male dancer, is arrested 1,400 miles away as one of the three men involved. Rosati claims he was in Rhode Island, building homes, the day of the murder. Live-in girlfriend, the exotic Darlene Fox, will testify that she had definitely been with Rosati that Sunday in Rhode Island. Other records verify this account.

Florida, however, has 6 eye-witnesses all who say that Rosati is the man. Arrested co-conspirator, Peter Dallas, admits to the crime and says that he shot and killed Joe Viscido with Stephen Rosati, and that a third man, Pete the Greek was their get-away driver. Rosati says he never heard of Peter Dallas.

Extraditions are normally carried out by nightfall. However, because of Rosati's documentation, the procedure is blocked, and thus begins probably the longest extradition hearing in the history of the country. In riveting courtroom drama, the tough-as-nails Federal Hill attorney, Jack Cicilline, proclaims Rosati's innocence; but the Assistant D.A., Randy White, need only establish a mere contradiction to extradite and send Rosati on a fast track to Florida where he may die in the electric chair.

With access to police logs and exhaustive interviews, comes a true-life courtroom thriller in the tradition of Scott Turow and John Grisham. FRAMED! has been hailed by "Prince of the City" author Bob Leuci (Fence Jumpers, The New Centurions) as an important story that must be told.

Where Does Mind End?

Introduction by Uri Geller.

From Freud to Gurdjieff

In the 1970's, I began a serious study of the work of Sigmund Freud. My teacher at the time was Bruno Bettelheim, the world's leading psychoanalyst. As I began to study Freud's model of mind, it began to occur to me that such a construct could be used as the basis of a more far-reaching model that could integrate Gurdjieff's ideas on will psychology and the higher states of consciousness. Along the way, additional theories on the nature of consciousness have been integrated as well, including the thinking of such great philosophers as Zoroaster, Pythagoras, Aristotle, Descartes, Leibniz, Carl Jung, Wilhelm Reich and Rudolf Steiner. WHERE DOES MIND END? is perhaps the first major work in psychology that combines the teachings of Freud and Gurdjieff into one in-depth comprehensive model. Not only does it discuss the many ideas on the complex structure of the unconscious and how it influences our lives, the book also culminates with a realistic strategy for learning how to maximize one’s potential so as to become master of one’s own ship. In that sense, this text is truly a practical guide for right living.

The Art & Life of Robert J. Adsit

[By]: Marta Waterman,

Marc J. Seifer & Terrell Neuage

Robert J. Adsit was a New York City artist living on the Lower East Side from about the years 1965 to his passing in 1995, gone too soon about the age of 51. Born in 1943 and given up for adoption probably a year later, Robert grew up in Clifton Park a little north of Albany with the Adsit family. Shortly after he was adopted, he gained a brother, Terrell and soon after gained a high School sweetheart Marta Waterman, who he stayed in contact with his entire life. A natural piano player and artist, Robert moved to the Big Apple in the mid-1960's where he brushed elbows with the likes of Andy Warhol and then got a job as an Art Director at Glamour Magazine.

A consummate artist, Robert created etchings, woodcuts, water colors, collages and oil paintings, setting up shop on East 9th Street where he opened up a boutique art gallery where he sold his various paintings, one of which graces the cover of this book. In 1970, he befriended Marc J. Seifer, a young college graduate taking courses in photography at the School of Visual Arts and graphology and filmmaking at the New School. Since both Marc and Robert were interested in parapsychology and higher states of consciousness, when Marc became Assistant Editor of the Journal of Occult Studies and then Editor-in-Chief of MetaScience: A New Age Journal on Consciousness, Robert helped design the journals, helped with the typesetting (this was way before home computers could do this!) and also featured some of his artwork and collages in these journals.

After he passed away, Marta contacted Marc and Terrell and together, the three amigos pooled all of the artwork that they had received from Robert. Simultaneously, Marta in particular, contacted as many of Robert's friends as she could locate so that their memories of Robert could be put together into the present volume along with any artwork that they also had received.

Robert was a true free spirit and the iconic consummate artist, a veritable genius of art in the minds of the three authors. His uncertain beginnings and primal memories of his biological mother permeates his artwork with mountain scenes often reflective of the concept of coming home. Robert was a prolific painter, incredibly creative and highly original. Marta, Terrell and Marc hope very much that you enjoy THE ART & LIFE OF ROBERT J. ADSIT! It was a true labor of love to put this book together.
