When Red Army soldiers discovered the Arndt and Lewinsky families in Berlin in April 1945, there were seven survivors - the largest known group to have lived throughout the Second World War at the heart of the Third Reich. Rather than risking so-called 'resettlement', the four members of the Arndt family had disappeared in January 1943, later being joined by three friends. Finding themselves in a shadowy underworld, they had to survive without identity cards, ration books or any kind of secure accommodation. And yet, with the help of non-Jews, they did survive. Erich Arndt and his wife Ellen (nee Lewinsky), now living in the USA, here reveal their story in detail for the first time. They have long believed that the world should be told that anti-Semitism was not as ubiquitous as has been previously supposed. The Arndts recall at least fifty ordinary Germans who risked their very lives to give assistance and want to leave a public record as a memorial to these extraordinary acts of bravery and kindness.
After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan
