Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
From Carl Aron -- "The Halo of the Jungle has turned into a three-generation task. It was originally written in German by my grandfather, Werner Aron, finished by my father, Gert Aron, then translated to English, edited and entered into the computer by my mother, Jean Aron, and finally formatted in HTML and published on the web and in this first printed edition, by me."
From Gert Aron -- A revised German language version exists, but has not yet been published in a bound format. A few copies have circulated among family, friends, and German publishers.
From the Author
Werner D. Aron -- "Life in these ten years was often difficult, and it was even more problematic to imagine the effect it would have on the development of our children during the times usually reserved for schooling. Yet, in retrospect, none of us five people, who lived in closest harmony and carried out our daily tasks in cooperation, would have wanted to miss any of these years.....We experienced a life of utter freedom, yet for several years we were tied to this life without any chance of escape."
Gert Aron -- "For many years I hesitated to finish the 'Halo'. It is difficult to follow in the footsteps of a giant.....But the story of our emigration is part of a generational saga which inextricably ties the past with the future. As my father put it, ours is 'an emigrant's fate among many'. We were just one family; but the world changed dramatically during those years. History must be told, so the children will know."
