history

The first book published by Eckhaus Verlag Weimar was the autobiography of the Weimar writer and screenwriter Wolfgang Held in July 2014, the laudation was given by the later Prime Minister of Thuringia, Bodo Ramelow . The author died two months after the book premiere. The first translation of Eva Schloss ' "The Promise" (Amsterdam, May 11, 1944. The end of my childhood) into German received a lot of media attention . As a survivor of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, the author travels the world as a contemporary witness of the Holocaust and reports on her experiences in readings and her books. She is Otto Frank's stepdaughter and thus the posthumous stepsister of Anne Frank . The memoirs of the Holocaust survivor Bertrand Herz , who was brought to the Buchenwald concentration camp at the age of 14, also fit into this series . His translation of "Le pull-over de Buchenwald" was published by Eckhaus Verlag under the title "Death was everywhere".

The memories of one of the last Schindler Jews still alive were presented in 2019. Laura Hillman, born in 1923 as Hannelore in Aurich , East Frisia and now living in California, reports in her book “I plant a lilac for you” (original title: “I will plant you a lilac tree”) about her deportation and her survival in several concentration camps . Her father Martin Wolff became a victim of euthanasia and was killed by gas in Bernburg after being imprisoned in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1942. Her two brothers Wolfgang and Selly as well as mother Karoline and a large part of her family were murdered in the concentration camps.

The interest in contemporary witnesses of National Socialism is also reflected in the series "Stolperstein-Histories in ..." founded by Eckhaus Verlag. This book series documents the biographies of different towns, behind the the artist Gunter Demnig laid stumbling blocks hide and describes the time during the Nazi era in the respective city. So far, “Stumbling Stone Stories Weimar” (2016) and “Stumbling Stone Stories Aurich” (2018) have been published.

The Hamburg author Peter García published his debut novel "Franzosenbalg" at Eckhaus Verlag, which was also published in French in 2019 under the title "Le fils allemand inconnu" by Livre Actualité. Said Boluri, an exiled Iranian who fled to Germany with his family in 1990, published his first book “The sky over the border” with Eckhaus Verlag. Günter Wallraff wrote the foreword . The retired sociology professor Bruno W. Reimann also publishes in the Eckhaus Verlag in Weimar on the subjects of “ Mechterstädt's murders ” and “Goethe's amours”. In 2016 the publisher expanded its range to include books from the culinary field. In this series the books of the Wild Kitchen Project and Petra Hermanns “Weimarer Mundart” appeared.
