Rubin Udler: The Cursed Years. A Memoir.

This important historical document and personal testimony details both fascist and Stalinist persecution of Jews in the Bukovina, Bessarabia, and Romania, giving an insight into both dictatorships. Dr. Rubin Udler, a Shoah survivor who was forced into the Stalinist labor army, later became the leading contemporary dialectologist of the Moldavian language. He was head of the Section for Dialectology of the Moldavian Academy of Science for more than  thirty years. His book was published in the Russian original in Kishinev, Moldova. The English translation of the book was presented at Department of Jewish Studies at the Academy of Sciences in Kishinev and at the opening of the first Center for Moldova's Jewish Culture in Kishinev, Moldova, in June 2005.

Koroneos: Ontologie IV, Description d'un Messie. Paris: Le Grand Soufle in collaboration with the City for the Cultures of Peace, 2005.

Située au croisement des théories philosophique, littéraire et scientifique concernant la « science complexe des êtres », l’« ontologie » de Koronéos invoque leurs modes d’interaction décisive qui façonnent la connaissance et l’interprétation de la condition humaine : la dynamique entre sa « dimension terrestre » et son aspiration au transcendantal, l’auto-aliénation de l’individu dans une société marquée par la violence et les guerres, et le lien mystérieux entre les tragédies récurrentes dans l’histoire de l’humanité. C’est afin d’éclairer des questions aussi complexes, que Koronéos orchestre des théories ontologiques clef allant de l’Antiquité jusqu’à l’époque moderne.
